Top Tech Toys for Kids Ultimate Gift Guide
Petoi Bittle 2 Robot Dog
No Top Tech Toys Gift Guide would be complete without a neat coding robot and now kids can learn STEM and robotics with the world’s first palm-sized, Servo-activated robot dog from Petoi.. The Petoi robot dog can provide a fun introduction to robotics and coding for kids of all ages. While some robots can cost thousands of dollars, the new Petoi’s Bittle 2 is an affordable, entry level robot toy that anyone can play with, program and train. It’s an excellent project for kids (and families) who may have a particular interest in robotics and programming. A great gift for teens ages 14 and up! My own teenager is really excited to receive this gift.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for your teen or a much younger techy kid, he/she will enjoy endless hours of fun playing with Petoi’s real robot pets. These neat robots walk and move like real pets and can be designed and programmed by you. With supervision from an adult, this open source and programmable robot pet is easy to build and code at home no matter if this is your kid’s first time tinkering or if they’re already a little robotics expert. It’s recommended for the older kids but honestly kids at all levels can benefit — even those kids who may want to experiment with robotics topics but may not be up for the big challenge of building a robot all on their own.
When purchasing the Petoi Bittle robot dog you have 2 options to choose from — choose to purchase a pre-built robot dog that’s ready to play with outside the box (and save yourself the extra steps of figuring out how to build-it-yourself) or select a DIY set and challenge your little maker to assemble the robot all on their own, making building and coding the robot part of the learning process. The build it yourself kit comes with everything you need, including access to an online manual that walks users through the step-by-step process of building the robot with detailed instructions and easy to follow video tutorials. As kids build the robot, they learn circuitry and are introduced to basic robotics concepts. Users will also have a few options for controlling their Bittle dog robot, via the included IR remote control, by downloading the Petoi app onto a phone, or installing the desktop app on a computer.
Overall, this is an exciting STEM toy for kids interested in learning more about robotics!
Bittle 2 is currently on sale for 20% OFF on the Petoi website.
Miko 3 AI Learning Robot for Kids
Miko 3 is an extremely talented multilingual robot — he comes fully loaded with tons of talents (Miko’s talents are like apps that kids can access right on Miko’s screen), tons of learning interactions, riddles, kids games, fun facts, charades, motion activated freeze dance, and more. Endless fun and learning!
There’s also a Miko Max subscription ( for an additional yearly fee) that gives users unlimited access 50k+ hours of premium content spread across 1000+ games, educational videos, stories, puzzles, music, coding, yoga — KIDOODLE TV safe streaming, Da Vinci Kids, and Disney Stories, LingoKids, Cosmic Kids Yoga and more. Miko Max subscription also gives users full access to Miko’s multilingual capabilities and you can choose from eight different languages for your child’s Miko interactions. This means that Miko can speak and interact with your children in Spanish and I love that!
My daughter received this robot as a gift last Christmas and still plays with him daily. Miko has become her favorite dance partner and her go-to fact checker! Kids are very inquisitive and Miko 3 can answer every quirky question your kid may have.
There’s also a parent facing Miko app that lets parents customize the learning experience. Set up is simple and quick and parents can keep track how kids spend their time when using Miko and keep tabs on their learning progress.
In addition, Miko can make unlimited calls through Mikonnect between kids and parents. This makes it so easy to stay connected in a safe way when you’re not together since kids won’t need access to a telephone or other device to video chat with mom or dad. It’s genius!
Miko is currently having an end of year promotion and you can Buy Miko 3 at 50% OFF. Shop now and receive FREE shipping too!
Smart Teddy Interactive Teddy Bear for Kids
This is the Smartest Teddy Bear in the world! Just push one of his paws and Smart Teddy tells you jokes, fun facts, songs, stories, and more!
Smart Teddy is a connected soft toy that parents can control with a parent app and helps engage kids in different ways to foster and develop good habits. He’s a perfect friend to play with, a fun storyteller, a screen distractor, and a little kid’s friendly guide through daily routines. Smart Teddy even has a built in schedule feature where parents can set up activities that reminds kids and motivate them to do their daily chores: brush their teeth, put away toys, even teaches kids how to use the potty and so much more. Smart Teddy really is the smartest teddy bear!
I absolutely love that Smart Teddy combines smart tech with real personality. Smart Teddy isn’t just another synthesized robo-voice bear — instead he’s a charming and lovable real little character. The little kid in your life will love him! Smart Teddy includes festive holiday content according to the time of year and an ever expanding games and activities section.

Toniebox Screen-Free Music & Story Player
We shared Toniebox as part of our toy gift guide last year. For those of you that might not be familiar, Toniebox is a screen-free music and story player that’s perfect for little kids of all ages. It doesn’t require Wi-Fi and charges on an easy charging station. I love that Tonies are so simple to use and completely ad-free. The Toniebox system and compatible figurines are small enough to take on-the-go anywhere you go. Kids will love listening to their favorite stories and songs, on long car rides, or at abuela’s house. My own daughter loves taking her Toniebox wherever she goes!
This year there’s a wide variety of new tonies, including Spanish language tonies. Parents — or even kids themselves — can place the Spanish Lullabies Tonie or Spanish Playtime Songs Tonie on top of the Toniebox and listen as it magically starts playing Spanish. We love these Spanish Language Tonies and I think your bilingual kiddos will love them too!
Purchase your own Toniebox on Amazon.
DIY Boombox Speaker STEAM Kit
Kids build their own boombox and learn how a radio works with the DIY Boombox Speaker STEAM Kit. You start by assembling a cardboard boombox complete with working speakers. Then place your phone into the holder at the front of the boombox and you can listen to music through the speakers. The speakers really work so kids can listen to music once they’re done building their little boombox. Great for curious kids! Parents will love the learning that happens with this neat little STEAM kit!
Kids get hands-on experience putting together electronic components. It’s fun for kids who like to tinker and fun for kids who love music. Great for creativity because kids get to decorate their own boombox. The included paint markers, stickers, and stencils, help kids color and customize their boombox creation which encourages originality and creativity. This great little kit promotes STEM & STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, art, math). The beginner-friendly step-by-step instructions help kids learn engineering, mechanics and technology basics.
This kit is perfect for tweens and I love that it channels smartphone usage into a productive art project! Kids will love the process of assembling this kit and jamming out to their favorite tunes once finished. It even comes with a functioning volume dial to turn it up the music. Super neat and fun!

I would LOVE to win the Crayola + Scoot giveaway for my daughter and son. My daughter absolutely LOVES to draw and color and her brother hates sharing his art supplies with her. She is really just getting into her artsy side. We are getting my son a Switch this year so the game would be amazing, so he would have at least more than one new game other than whichever game is bundled in with the console we get!

I would absolutely LOVE to win the iPogo for my son! I used to have a Pogo stick when I was his age (7) and I LOVED it! Mine wasn’t nearly as cool telling you how many jumps you had and all that but than again I’m 32 years old now! I’d love for him to get out more and enjoy himself in the sun in a way he hasn’t before, and I think this would be a fun way for him to do it!
