The host part has a simple and rounded shape, clear functional divisions, and is easy to use. In terms of color, children prefer pure color matching, which is in line with children’s color perception. The interactive area is designed with a certain inclination angle, which can make children feel more comfortable when using it on the desktop. This product adopts age-appropriate, more fun interactive methods, and children can use it independently. The product uses sounds and lights that are more attractive to children to optimize the interactive scheme in the form of instant feedback. At the same time, under the guidance of rich voice feedback and lighting effects, it is easier for children to use the product independently for thinking training.

Widgets Go Walking
Written and illustrated by Michael Garland

What do I want to be when I grow up?

This is an age-old question that young Bridget and Fidget Widget seek to answer as they join their dad for a family stroll through the village. As they walk, they see all sorts of interesting individuals doing fascinating things.  They meet Jack Hammer, who is shaking and pounding the pavement. They see the town’s talented plumber, Walter Wrench, who is busy unclogging drains. They see Mrs. Fryer, who is serving up crispy bacon and two eggs sunny-side up.

They watch Mr. Vendor making change and then eye Sally Sawit, who is busy building something out of wood. They peer through a window to see Mr. Reboot repairing a broken clock, and they walk by a team of painters giving a brick wall a vibrant splash of color. Before returning home, the family even sees an officer directing traffic, a street sweeper sucking up trash, and heavy equipment operators rolling down the street and digging giant holes.

It’s an eye-opening journey for the brother and sister. They are introduced to many different skilled trades while being reminded there are no limitations to what they can do or become! With rich, evocative illustrations and concise dialogue, young readers are introduced to a colorful world of possibilities and opportunities.

Michael Garland is the author of the award-winning storybook Get Off My Lawn! and is the author and illustrator of Zombie Phone Kids. He has had multiple books on the New York Times bestseller list.

There’s a Hat for That!: Exploring Careers That Fit You Best
Written by Kevin J. Fleming Ph.D.; Illustrated by Iskar; Edited by N/A

“There are so many jobs
to explore and to test.
With my natural skills,
I’ll find which hat fits best.”
We often ask children, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” This question implies there should be one fixed answer. But it is more likely that your child will experiment with many occupations and explore multiple careers throughout their life.

At all ages, children show interests, abilities, gifts, and unfulfilled potential. Observing these subtle signs and encouraging exploration towards activities that align with their personality will point them towards satisfying and meaningful careers.

In There’s a Hat for That!, children and adults alike will delight in the melodic rhymes and colorful illustrations of monkeys exploring different careers, trying on hats until they find the perfect fit.

Joy! You Find What You Look For
Written by Gina Prosch; Illustrated by Kyle Merriman

Holly is having a miserable, rotten day!

She forgot her “show” for Show and Tell. She dropped her sandwich on the floor. She had to wait and wait and wait because Mom was the very last car in the pickup line, and she’s soaked to the bone from the rain. Nothing good has happened to her all day!

When Holly climbs into the backseat of the family car, she gives her mom an earful. She doesn’t even bother to acknowledge the cupcake and juice Mom has waiting for her. Holly is completely focused on all the things that are terrible or awful or boring.

Mom really doesn’t want to spend the car ride home listening to a litany of her daughter’s complaints and grievances. To lighten the mood, she convinces Holly to play a game of Count the Red Cars. But when they arrive home, Mom doesn’t ask Holly how many red cars she saw. Instead, she asks Holly how many yellow cars she spotted.

Banban’s Worldwide Journey Light Projector

Banban’s Worldwide Journey is a projector designed for children around the age of 3. The whole set of toys consists of two parts: a handheld projector and theme cards. The content projected on the card is the customs, architecture and food of different countries, so that children can explore and feel the cultures of different countries while playing. The appearance of the product is the shape of a hand-cranked projector and film. Interesting appearances are created through abstract geometric shapes to attract children’s interest. In terms of color, the solid color combination of red, yellow, blue and orange that children prefer is used, which is in line with the color perception of three-year-old children. Different from the existing projection toys, which mostly switch between single pictures, this toy innovatively makes the content into continuous circular graphics, and children can play it in a loop like watching animation, thus enhancing the fun of the toy . This toy chooses a rocker that is easier for children to operate as the playback mechanism: it is more engaging than automatic playback, and easier to operate than toggle switching. Two modes: Nursery rhyme mode can guide children to explore the details of the picture through voice, and supports bilingual; silent mode helps parents guide children to explain the content of the picture, promotes parent-child relationship and helps improve children’s expressive ability. Infrared sensor for eye protection: When the distance between the face and the projection lamp is less than the safe distance, the light will automatically turn off, avoiding damage to the children’s eyes.
