Christmas Gift Ideas: The Best Tech Gizmos to Offer Your Kids – 2018 has been a great year for kids’ gifts and gadgets, with robots, coding games and other high-tech toys topping Christmas gift lists from a huge variety of retailers. All are exciting and there are plenty of different options for every price range. Here, we’ve picked out the best we’ve seen, to help you find the perfect gift for the children you need to buy for this year.
It’s tiny but offers an impressive number of intelligent features including the ability to recognise faces, play games and learn. Cozmo comes with three LED cubes that he can interact with as you play, too. The most endearing thing about Cozmo is that it really feels like he has a personality. Kids are going to love him.
Sphero offers a range of amazing products for kids. Prices vary, but you can feel confident that you’re going to get fantastic quality from this robotics company. Star Wars fans will love the app-controlled Sphero R2-D2 and Sphero BB-9E, while Disney fans will enjoy the Sphero Ultimate Lightning McQueen and the Sphero Spider-Man.
If Sphero’s car caught your eye but you were hoping for something a little bigger, what about this Mercedes Electric Ride on Car with a remote. It’s designed for ages two to five and can travel at a top speed of 2mph. There are a seat belt and a remote control for a responsible adult that will work up to 20 metres away.
There are plenty of DIY computer kits out there these days, but not many of them are designed from the beginning to be as fun as LEGO to put together. That’s what drove the Kano kit, which combines a Raspberry Pi with a selection of chunky, attractive (very orange) peripherals – along with a selection of stickers to customise it even further. Once they’ve got the hardware up and running, the open-source Kano OS comes bundled with hundreds of hours worth of games and exercises to teach kids how to code, make art, and build apps and games.
Anki Overdrive is the 21st Century’s answer to Scalextric: robotic cars that can follow a track, are controlled by your phone and can drive themselves so you can race against the AI. You can set up the course in just about any layout you want, and the cars will drive themselves round to map it out. From there you control your car using your smartphone, tilting to shift lanes. There’s even an optional game mode with virtual weaponry – à la Mario Kart – to add an extra wrinkle to the racing.
