Key points of this article
  • Digicoro, which is played by rolling it around on an iPad, is a new type of educational toy that crosses the digital and analog worlds.
  • Easy to use! 10 different apps to enhance children's intellectual curiosity and creativity!
  • There are so many ways to play! With a little ingenuity, the whole family can have fun!

The BabyTech community, which includes parents with children aged 0-6 and pre-parents and pre-moms who are expecting a baby and who want to actively use technology such as gadgets, apps, and appliances in their child-rearing, holds a monthly "Review with Everyone - BabyTech is More Fun" event. The event is held

This project aims to help community members share their experiences with various baby tech services with the goal of finding enjoyment in using baby tech in their child-rearing lives. Each time, members who have actually used one baby tech service will post a review of the service on a special website. Afterwards, they will share their impressions and usage of the service in an online roundtable discussion, which will be published as a review article on BabyTech.jp.

In this fourth issue, we introduce Digicoro, an intelligent toy that can be played anywhere with an iPad. Digicoro is easy to play with. Simply place or roll the yellow-green sphere, which has black protrusions about 5 cm in diameter, on your iPad (target age range: 3 to 10 years old). That's all there is to it, but don't underestimate it: with 10 dedicated apps, you can enjoy drawing, adventures, observation, and a variety of other play activities. It is said that brain-stimulating hand-to-hand play is important for growing children. Digicoro allows children to stimulate their three senses of "sight," "hearing," and "touch" at the same time while enhancing their creativity and curiosity about nature.

In this article, community members who have actually used Digicoro review the service's enjoyment and usefulness (numerical rating on a 5-point scale from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 5). In addition, Tetsuya Nagata, CEO of PapaSmile, and community members participated in an online roundtable discussion (hereinafter referred to as "cross review talk") to discuss the review results and the appeal of digicolo!

reviewer review score Comment.
Kasumin. Three. 5 My daughter was 5 months old, but she was interested in it, and I thought she would enjoy the simplicity of the controls as she gets older.
Mr. Miyashin 4 The kids enjoyed it very much.
Sachi. 4 He was a 5 year old child, so he was enjoying doing it more and more on his own, rather than enjoying it with his parents.
Yoshie 5 -
Mr. Nozomun 4 There was live action that my parents didn't like (specifically insects).
falconry (using falcons) 2 I got the impression that there weren't many elements shared between parents and children.

Nagata: Thank you very much for your time today. I would like to start our cross review talk right away! First, let's look at the "degree of fun for parents and children. Although the overall rating here is high, it seems that older children tend to be able to play more and more on their own.

Sachi: I feel that the key is what kind of playing style we play with. My son is 5 years old and he was playing with me today, competing with me for scores.
