It’s already April, and of course that means that for many, the Easter Bunny will soon be hopping his or her way into their houses with a basket of treats. Here are a few ideas to consider for your kids—or kids at heart.
BuddyPhones (BuddyPhones)
Are you tired of hearing your kid’s video games or other noisy electronics? Do we really need to hear every time their character gets a coin? And don’t we deserve some peace and quiet once and a while? Giving them a set of headphones may sound like a good solution, but research shows that 12.5% of 6-18-year-olds have hearing loss due to overly loud headphones. The solution? Volume-limiting BuddyPhones, which let kids keep their noises to themselves and protect those young eardrums. These fun looking, high-quality headphones come in a variety of popular colors and designs (including a unicorn model). They’re also water resistant and have a battery life of up to 24 hours. Got more than one kid? BuddyPhones offers their patented shared BuddyCable, lets two kids listen at the same time (though getting them agree to what to listen to is up to you). $70-$80. www.buddyphones.com
Yoshi’s Crafted World
Do you have a little Yoshi fan in your life? If so, he or she will love this new game– Yoshi’s first starring adventure on Nintendo Switch. Yoshi ventures through his crafted world, collecting costumes and gems, battling Shy Guys (the most familiar faces in the series) along with thieving mice and other enemies who await. There’s a level that flips stages, and you must do them backwards. Yoshi must help Poochi get her puppies back, since they ran off (as bratty pups tend to do from time to time). Baby Bowser is back, causing a ruckus, as are an all-star team of favorite characters your child will love to interact with. The graphics are fun and funky and the gameplay is accessible yet challenging, which makes this game perfect for younger audiences, while still fun for older ones. For one or two players at a time. $60 on https://www.nintendo.com
