New Tech Toy for Summer Learning SPHERO 2.0 + Sweepstakes

We’re LOVING the addictive and totally engaging robotic ball, Sphero 2.0! It’s a fantastic learning option for your kids’ summer learning.

My kids are obsessed.

Grab your smartphone or tablet, download one of the 30 free Sphero apps, and in no time, your kids will be playing and learning with Sphero.

No more summer brain drain.

Become an expert race car driver.

Sphero rolls up to 7 feet persecond. Zippy? Yes, ma’am!

Play games in augmented reality.

At least if you’re playing games like The Rolling Dead. Way cool, dude.

Play with your pets.

Your dogs and cats will especially when Sphero moves and changes color at the same time. Try the dance party app in the dark – my kids love it!

Use the ramps to catch some air — if you can.

And the range of Sphero is incredible — up to 100 feet from your device via Bluetooth.

Go outside or in water with a Nubby cover.

Add a Nubby cover for gravel, water, and concrete. Way cool.

Learn to program.

Download the plug-and-play lessons, the MacroLab and OrbBasic programming apps to your device, and start programming.

Get the Sphero scoop:

Sphero 2.0 retails for $129.99. But as I write this blog post, it’s on sale for $99! Buy Sphero 2.0 for this special price until June 15, 2014.

The only thing my kids don’t like about Sphero 2.0 is that the battery doesn’t last forever. 🙁 It lasts about 30 minutes and then needs to be recharged. It’s probably a good thing they are forced to take a break or they’d be playing with Sphero all day non-stop!
