Welcome the age of electronics! I know my kids love them, and I’m just as addicted. VTech has come out with a smart new gadget the VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch! It was super simple to set up, you just use the included micro USB cord to ensure that the rechargeable battery was full and flipped the power switch on the back to ON…what’s simpler than that!? From there it only takes few taps to set the date and time and we were able look at all the options that lay before us!
The VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch is perfect for kids learning to tell time, the Kidizoom Smartwatch allows your littles to choose their watch face with over 50 looks to choose from…This device also has a timer, alarm or stopwatch.
Camera.
YES! It has a tiny camera that your littles can easily capture photos and videos. The camera itself is located right on the top edge of the watch and the shutter is controlled either by the camera button on the side or the image of the shutter on the screen. With the Kidizoom Smartwatch you can add fun special effects such as photo frames, color filters and distortion..you know those are the boys favorite! Sure make mommy look like a monster…They can easily scroll back through the photos taken, or watch them in a slideshow mode.
Voice recorder.
Wait! There’s more!?
This gives the littles the ability to record a message right onto the watch and play it back whenever and wherever they choose. It also allows them to change the way that the message is played back, like their voice being slower, higher, lower, etc. The boys are constantly cracking up over the way they sound!
Games.
This watch comes preloaded with four learning games & more can be downloaded from VTech’s Learning Lodge…with each one providing educational entertainment. There is also a parental control, in case you want to limit the amount of time your little spends playing games each day | no limit, 30 minutes, 60 minutes or 90 minutes.
Super Detective
This game shows which character your little is looking for and then switches through various different faces, with the objective to only tap on the original one to collect points. There are three levels in round 1 and three levels in round 2, which get slightly more difficult as the they advance.
Rotating Puzzle
This timed game begins by showing a photo, either a provided one like a flower, or sheep or one of your own photos taken, and divides it into quarters. The three rounds of level 1 have one or two of the squares turned and you tap them to get them turned upright without taking too long. The rounds of level 2 have one, two or three of the squares turned for slightly added difficulty.
Finger Dance
You tap on the indicated circle in time with the classical music, adding points with each correct move. The colorful animated backgrounds change each time and the movements get slightly faster and more difficult through the three levels.
Time Master
Not so much a game, but more of a fun way to help tell time either using analog or digital clocks. You select hour or minute and change them to any desired time by pressing a plus or minus sign. When they are done, they simply tap the clock, & the friendly owl then tells what time it is on the clock in two different ways | “It is a quarter past 8 in the morning,” and “It is 8:15 am.”
Overall, this watch is created with a kid-friendly design to take all the drops and bumps as well as the splashes with a splash-proof coating so you don’t need to stress about everyday play. This is designed for ages 4+, I would personally recommend it for ages 4-6.
Retailing for $59.99 in four colors | blue, pink, white and green — the Kidizoom Smartwatch is available now from VTechKids.com, on Amazon and in stores near you.

It just doesn’t get any bigger than Texas, so how do you know where to start when planning your vacation? Let me share with you my 5 places in Texas you must see!
1) The Texas State Capital | Austin, Tx
The capital is a must see attraction for anyone visiting the Lone Star State. It houses Texas state history + governing bodies. You can pack a lunch and have a picnic on the gorgeous ground and maybe even get to feed one of the friendly sqirles.
2) The Alamo | San Antonio, Tx
The Alamo is a major part of Texas history. You can take guided tours , see artifacts and really get just how out numbered the Texans were. While you’re in the area you can catch an IMAX showing of the Alamo story + take in the river walk which is just across the street.
3) The Texas Coast | Galveston, Tx | Port Aransas | Padre Island
The coast has many things to offer.
Head over to Galveston to experience Moody Gardens, Historic Pleasure Pier, The Historic District and much more.
Port Aransas/Corpus Christi area has some great beaches, the Texas State Aquarium, Padre National Sea Shore, Pirate Tours and more.
Padre Island has some of the best beaches in the state. You can take sand castle lessons, go sailing and hit Schlitterbahn beach water park.
4) The Stockyards | Fort Worth, Tx
The Fort Worth Stockyards is the history book of the livestock industry in Texas. Each chapter is represented by the original bricks and mortar, the wood corrals, the men, and the music that are all still a part of the Stockyards today. Rodeo’s, Shows, restaurants, & Shopping. If you’re looking for a true “Texas experience”, you’ll love the Fort Worth Stockyards!
5) Big Bend National Park
There is a place in Far West Texas where night skies are dark as coal and rivers carve temple-like canyons in ancient limestone. Here, at the end of the road, hundreds of bird species take refuge in a solitary mountain range surrounded by weather-beaten desert. Tenacious cactus bloom in sublime southwestern sun, and diversity of species is the best in the country. This magical place is Big Bend.
