Because I spend a lot of time on the computer, my kids are very interested in being included in activities that revolve around it. They see me using it and want to use it and they see the extra gadgets that I have that I use with it and they want some of their own. While I prefer to limit their use of electronics and encourage them towards more tactile type toys, technology is a part of our lives and we do allow them to experience it once in awhile. They need to learn how to use it and frankly some of it is just fun!
Recently I was contacted by ATP Electronics about a cool new product they have geared towards kids. The new Sesame Street Video USB Flash Drives “brings educational media into an exciting and dynamically new format.”
The drives come in 7 different styles, are designed to be durable for kids and each one contains a different full length video (based upon the character of the drive) plus personal storage space for kids to save their favorite photos, music and documents.
I was intrigued with the idea of providing a durable USB drive for my kids to use to store and share their favorite stuff, but also with the concept of having a Sesame Street video accessible for them without having to worry about them handling a DVD – plus they can take it to friends houses or to Grandma’s house.
We asked to review the Abby Cadabby USB drive. When you have a daughter named Abby who happens to LOVE Abby Cadabby, it’s kind of a natural, plus all of the Sesame Street videos we own are Elmo from when my son was little. It was only fair we bought some MORE Abby into our lives.
