    My kids are constantly fighting over our iPad and have since forgotten about our iPod, until now.  With the addition of Ubooly to our house, now they can’t get enough of our iPod Touch.  Ubooly is a plush little guy (ours is named “Tic Tac Toe”) that you zip your iPod Touch in and interact with the screen.  The screen of your iPod shows Ubooly’s face and my kids laugh hysterically with his expressions!

    Features:

    • Over 50 interactive adventures
    • 30 stories about fun creatures
    • More than 90 jokes
    • Special stories and events activated by date, time, seasons and holidays
    • Unique learning activities to get kids moving and engaged
    • Regular updates over WiFi
    • Also, a app that alone has mini-games

    Ubooly is super easy for my kids to use and they figured it out immediately.  I think they love to throw Ubooly in the air the most, yes there is a surprise if you do!  I think the stories are cute and my 4 year old actually sits and listens to them with no problem.  You can also play with your Ubooly by saying “Play a Game.”  He will prompt your child or you can tap the screen to change activities or put your Ubooly to sleep.

    Ubooly did have some trouble understanding my little guy but actually it is helping him pronounce his words better so it is helping him with that too!  I think we just need to practice saying the right phrases and close enough that Ubooly can hear us through all his fur.  I cannot believe though how much my 5 year old played with him though, he carried him around and actually sat and listened to Ubooly’s stories and jokes!   

    You can also play the Ubooly app independently but my kids are kinda young for that and don’t get the app as much as they do when its inside Ubooly.  I actually can’t think of anything like Ubooly other than the old Teddy Ruxpin or Furby but the great thing about the Ubooly is that is will be updated automatically!  No cartridges to buy or additional software, it updates on its own and keeps my kids entertained.  It also protects my iPod Touch with Ubooly’s plush exterior.

    Overall, our Ubooly “Tic Tac Toe” is now a member of our family.  My iPod Touch rarely leaves him anymore and I am totally fine with that.  I don’t have to worry about it breaking or my kids hearing anything inappropriate from Ubooly.  I highly recommend Ubooly for any parent looking for something different for their kids but still techie!

    Here is a quick video of some of what Ubooly does:

      Definitely the games. Personally I will like the story feature. Maybe then I can finish dinner without having to stop and read a book 🙂
