The amount of interactivity the toys of today have is amazing, providing children with infinite play opportunities. So it's no surprise that these ideas would be brought into the world of technology and combined with the idea of toy pets. So instead of getting your child a puppy and having to worry about all the work that comes with it, you can get them a robot one! Plus that's only one of many different examples of an incredible electronic pet.

Electronic toys first started appearing back in the late 70s, developing dolls and stuffed animals. They would have cassette tapes in the back of them and their mouths would move when the cassette played, with some of the more advanced toys designed to move their arms or legs. It's amazing to think how far technology has advanced and changed over the years, with us now having the ability to control them remotely or have them repeat what you we’re saying. 

So what are the positives of your child having one of these electronic pets? First of all, they are a great for educating as they help children further their technological knowledge, improve on problem solving skills and greatly extend cognition abilities. It can also help with their motor and speaking skills with the amount of interactivity electronic pets have built into them.
