Now crowdfunding on Kickstarter, the Kinoo Magic Wand is a screenless smart device that and learning tool for kids and families alike. The four-inch wand includes three smart bulbs that light up plus a speaker that provides cues to guide kids through movement-based games and activities.
In the Move and Master activity books, posters and stickers, kids benefit from more than just visual aids as they explore letters, phonics, reading, counting, math and more. And in addition to helping kids grasp new concepts, the Kinoo Magic Wand uses movement prompts to improve the retention of new knowledge. "Brain research has validated 'physical movement' as a powerful accelerant to learning and development for kids when coupled with visual and auditory learning modalities," said Jim Marggraff, CEO and Founder of Kinoo.
