Gaming parents who wish to incorporate gaming into their child's early education need to check out the iCam from Comfy.

The iCam comes with two hand-held controllers, one driving wheel and ten games designed to teach children everything from nature to numbers.

Each game has adjustable levels of difficulty, and Comfy also offers up to 100 additional games to download.
