Teaching a child to read is a challenging task, and ensuring that they have fun while doing so, is even more difficult, which is part of what makes Square Panda such a useful parenting resource.
Presented at CES 2018, Square Panda offers children fun and engaging games, which help guide them on the journey to literacy. Combing the physical world with the virtual one, this device activates all of a child's senses, in an attempt to make reading fun.
In addition to a variety of interactive games, Square Panda comes equipped with a tray of smart letters. With this connected tray, little ones can hear the sounds of the letters, as they place them into the slots, encouraging them to build sentences and interact with each sound.
