Screenless Learning Wands

The Kinoo Magic Wand is for Independent & Family Play

— October 5, 2022 — Life-Stages
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.
Trend Themes
1. Screenless Smart Devices for Kids - The trend of creating screenless smart devices for kids is growing, providing new opportunities for child development and education without the need for screens.
2. Movement-based Learning - The Kinoo Magic Wand's focus on movement-based learning is a trend that may disrupt traditional education methods by integrating physical activity as a crucial component of the learning process.
3. Multimodal Learning Tools - Tools like the Kinoo Magic Wand, which combine visual aids, auditory cues, and physical movement prompts, represent a growing trend in the development of multimodal learning tools.
Industry Implications
1. Education - The Kinoo Magic Wand has the potential to disrupt the education industry by providing an innovative tool for child development and learning outside of traditional methods.
2. Toy and Game Manufacturing - Companies in the toy and game manufacturing industry have an opportunity to explore the growing trend of screenless smart devices for kids with the potential to create new products and learning tools.
3. Child Development Services - Child development services, such as learning centers and after-school programs, may benefit from integrating movement-based learning tools like the Kinoo Magic Wand into their programming to enhance the learning experience for children.
