Depending on how spoiled your child is, this will either be
appreciated and used as a fun teaching toy, as it’s intended, or
just be thrown right back in your face for not being “the real
thing”. We’re hoping your three year old doesn’t fall in the
latter category. The Tinker Tablet is a wooden tablet, made to
look like an iPad or something, but with no electronic
components. Instead, there’s a wooden puzzle inside that looks
like a circuit board, and whose pieces represent different
components of a mobile device. What’s interesting is that these
pieces can be assembled into a “cellphone”, teaching your tot
from a very early age that objects like mobile phones aren’t
magical pieces of plastic, but are instead a collection of
separate parts that work together to form a functioning device.
When not assembled into a cellphone, the pieces fit into the
tablet base, and a dry erase board slides over them to not only
secure them in place, but allow the kid to draw… kind of like
what people do with actual tablets. It
