Technology is fun, amusing, surprising and insightful. It is even more fun if it helps you learn new things in fun ways. A gadget becomes exciting to us when the creators design a technology with the specific goal of making the target users’ experience more joyful.

So, here we give you a list of some of the best gadgets we think kids should have:

Wiggy is a cute little Piggy bank for the little ones. It is not just a piggy bank, it is a Bluetooth enabled gadget that also teaches to be responsible. Wiggy does not work with actual money. It connects to a savings account that is set up for any child. The piggy bank gadget can easily connect to your iOS or Android device.
So, whenever a child wants pocket money, she/he can click on the option of asking for a task to be completed, through the WiggyPiggy App. The App puts across a notification of the same to the parent connected on the app. The parent can then can list the activity a child should complete and set the amount the child will earn in return. Upon setting the task, Wiggy lights up and speaks out the set task out loud.
