KidKraft Amazon Alexa 2-in-1 Kitchen & Market
KidKraft’s smart connected toy lets kids simulate the experience of gouging to a market and picking out groceries then bringing them back to cook in a virtual kitchen. Among other things, kids using the device get to have “fun” learning how to work a self-checkout machine. On the other side of the device, kids peruse through 34 interactive food items and 24 recipe cards. The device works in part by having kids engage with a connected Amazon Echo device.
If parents really can’t stand to be seen with their child in a grocery store and do decide to buy the KidKraft, ParentsTogether recommends they regularly review and delete voice recordings as well as have an earnest conversation with the child about keeping certain information, like their birthday, name or location, private while playing.
