Thank you to VTech for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own.
My mom is always bugging me about how she doesn’t get to see my kids enough. She lives about 3 1/2 hours away so in person visits are really hard but, she wants to be able to talk to the kids online and see their faces. My mom and I talk every day, but seeing the kids and having them see her is something she really wants to do to establish a better relationship with each of them.
This is usually pretty hard to do with our busy schedules and finding a time when the kids aren’t all wound up, but I’ve recently discovered the Kid Connect app that works with the Innotab 3s. The exclusive VTech Kid Connect™ app lets kids and parents send text messages, stickers, *voice messages, *photos and *drawings back and forth so they can keep in touch anywhere! With fast and easy tablet-to-mobile and tablet-to-tablet communication, kids can safely join in digital communication—just like mom and dad.
This program will work perfectly for allowing the kids to stay in contact with grandma via photos, voice messages, and texts. They can even send drawings and stickers, something my daughter will love since she is always asking us to ’email’ her drawings to grandma. Plus with the kid’s contact lists that are parent approved, I know my kids can only send messages to people we know and have okayed.
In addition to helping stay in contact with grandma, I can see my daughter taking the tablet to daycare with her to let me know how her and our new baby are doing. It can give both her and me peace of mind while I am away at work.
How Kid Connect works
Hear your child’s voice, anytime, anywhere.
With Kid Connect Premium*, you’ll see a voice message icon. This feature is great for those times when you just need to hear the sound of your child’s voice. Voice messaging lets you and your child record up to a 10 second message.
Photos and Drawings
Also available through Kid Connect Premium* you can send photos and drawings. Touch the photo icon and the InnoTab® 3S will open the photo album so you can choose an existing photo. Or press the camera icon to take a new photo. Touch the drawing icon and use the simple drawing tools to create a picture to share with family and friends!
It’s so easy to text each other
Now kids can send and receive text messages too! To send a text message, a child simply chooses a contact and touches the text message icon. Use the onscreen keypad to type in a message and then touch the send icon.
Stickers
Touch the Stickers icon and you can send 12 different stickers (30 when you upgrade to premium) for a fun way to express yourself.
Kid Connect, only available with VTech’s InnoTab 3S.
