Toys Games & Hobbies

 Dads come in all shapes and sizes, and while it’s assumptive to say that every dad loves tech it’s true for the vast majority of ‘em. Finding the right gift for the techie dad in your life can be challenging; matching their personality to emerging technology can be tough! To help make your father’s day a little easier this year I’ve got a whole host of varied father’s day gifts that all have a techie angle. Let’s take a rip through together and see if we can find something that fits.

   Today I review the new Sphero SPRK+ (which is coming soon to Best Buy). This new robotic ball builds on the technology of last year’s Sphero SPRK Edition. If you liked the Edition, or have been meaning to try one of Sphero’s fun and educational robotic toys, click on through to take a look at this latest generation leap in Sphero robotic fun!

The VTech KidiZoom Creator Cam provides an all-in-one director experience and hours of fun for children ages 5 and up!

Today I examine the Protocol Galileo Stealth Drone. Join me inside for all of the good, the bad, and the ugly of this large & impressive quadcopter!

For the most part, many of the iOS based toys nowadays have potential, but are very limited to what they can do. The Parrot Mini-Drones for example were fun, but not that expansive in ability. They both also cost more than the Sphero Ollie, a brand new challenger into the fold. Ollie comes from the same science and physics loving minds behind the Sphero and promises to continue branching fun and physics at an affordable price. You know what? It’s great fun too.  Come check out the Sphero Ollie.

Join me today as I present a detailed review of the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K Quadcopter Drone. If you’re into drones, photography, or both, you’re really gonna love this aircraft! The Typhoon is big, it’s smooth, and it’s incredibly stable. It’s also so smart that it practically flies itself, freeing you up to shoot the most beautiful 4K photos and video imaginable. I’ve embedded a video in the blog to demonstrate these amazing imaging capabilities, so step on through the portal and see the results for yourself. I’m pretty sure you’ll be impressed!

Remember Teddy Ruxpin? The beloved 80s toy is back, telling some of his old tales to a new generation. Check it out!

 Once, drones were an out-of-reach technology used by the military and rich, pro photographers and cinematographers. Today, however, everyone from amateur videographers to aerial hobbyists can own a decent drone. Just take a look at YouTube and you’ll find tons of amateur footage shot using drones. But, if you’re just getting started, how do you narrow the field from all the options out there? Well, if you’re looking to buy a drone to shot some cool action, I can give you a couple of options as to which drone is right for you: sport enthusiast.  

Best Buy has a great selection of pretend play toys, and one that's always popular with the kiddies is play kitchens, like the KidKraft Vintage Toy Kitchen.
