| Computers top Christmas lists for under 7s this year |
| A recent focus group by consumer electronics specialist, Oregon Scientific UK, shows that children just want what grown ups have; computers and mobile phones. So make sure these items are top of your Christmas shopping list when you’re playing Santa this year.
When faced with a choice of toys to play with, children from three to seven years of age were automatically drawn to toys that resembled computers and equipment similar to the ones they had seen adults using.
Aruna Sinha, product manager at Oregon Scientific explains the survey. “As part of our new product development research we wanted to involve children and gauge their reaction and interest in our new toys. There was a noticeable trend in children being drawn to toys that looked like computers. We understood this to be because they wanted to emulate their parents”.
We demonstrated our new Christmas range of children’s products and asked the group which of the range they preferred. In most cases the children’s interest was drawn to Oregon Scientific’s A18 Accelerator Next, which resembled the computers children had so frequently seen their parents or older siblings working on. “
So on the advice of the experts, take the struggle out of Christmas shopping and look no further than Oregon Scientifics’ range of educational learning toys.
Putting the fun back into learning
