Like daddy: a selection of "adult" children's gadgets for smart hobbies
Not so long ago, the guys from MVideo shared life hacking how to distract children from the computer and TV. Some then doubted the “safety of injuries” of individual specimens, someone focused on the fact that there was a shortage of “nastol”, etc.
But in general, and we agree that it is necessary to work with excessive dependence on smartphones and tablets. Fortunately, if dad is a geek, then setting an example is not so difficult. We offer our ideas for children's hobbies.

If dad is into robotics and programming
In a simple and fun way to acquaint the child with the basics of electronics will help the domestic " Mikronik ". The miniature "Children's Ampere" includes a variety of electronic components and a colorful instruction for creating, or more correctly, "recreating" certain phenomena: sound, light.

If dad is keen on videotaping
In fact, now video content is more like a “children's privilege”. Children watch YouTube, children find idols there and want to be like video bloggers. Children are trying to shoot the video themselves and upload to the hosting.
Given this trend, VTech offered KidiZoom, an action camera for children. It is almost like an adult: a special waterproof case for shooting under water, skate and bicycle mounts, decent autonomy - up to 2.5 hours + the ability to integrate additional memory. The cost of this - 6700 .
If Dad Manages Drone
Big drone do not trust the child. And it's not even so pitiful as it is dangerous. Among the compact and reliable, which can even run at home, you can pay attention to Syma. It is inexpensive - less than 3 thousand .
For 8 minutes of flight, it will allow sharpening management skills and shooting and prepare for Dad's DJI. True, the age recommended by the manufacturer - from 14 years. It seems a bit overpriced.
If Dad Loves Constructors
Everyone has different hobbies. Someone is fond of modeling, someone likes to collect Meccano and Lego. I, for example, lately, to somehow get distracted, collect paper 3D puzzles.
Smart designers for children appeared in the Lego collection . One of the most affordable models allows you to make an electronic crocodile or monkey.
There are simpler models, also with a claim to “robotics”.
The most recognizable in the series of designers on solar energy has become " 14 in 1 ". Its main feature is the ability to assemble different models from the same parts.
Coloring
Recently, Fibrum makes virtual reality coloring pages. This allows both to distract the child from the tablet and give moderate access to it. For the first time a similar technology in colorings has opened the world of Disney. Now they are much more. There is a Fibrum .
The chip is in the animated pictures. While the child paints simple shapes, dad shakes a special application. It makes a great impression on young children!
If Dad Loves Star Wars
I once had to buy a "Little Death Star" so that they would not take mine away from me. So if Dad has a BB8 from Sphero in the collection, then it’s better to err and buy an alternative robot for the child.
For example, such a simple one with a remote control will cost 3001 rubles . But - like dad!
