You can make your own with this

Edit: Here is an example made by u/Tylerlgilbert

u/swedishsurprise · 16 pointsr/trees

Here is the one I am using. I also have a handmade shop on Amazon if anyone is interested. Also, I am happy to provide the DWG files for this design- I cut out all the pieces on my cnc machine.

u/yamatoshi · 15 pointsr/delusionalartists

spending bloat is real. It happens all over the place, not just at universities.

I work in Special Needs Education. After a tangent of research, I started looking at Speech devices after seeing a lady taught a dog using them. A single red button for teaching a word can cost $150 or more, and yes schools and businesses WILL pay for them (especially if you have a budget that requires you use specific vendors.

So...I hopped on Amazon......Here is a set of 4 programmable ones for $15

I've done this for other Special Needs products. I've looked through the catalogs, everything is absurdly priced. A set of cheap-ass (and I mean like the shittiest quality you can get) hula-hoops is like well over $300 if I remember correctly....I'm involved in the flow community. I built them much higher quality hula-hoops, that actually work because of weight mechanics, and it cost me under $40 to build them. The kids and staff love them.

u/epi_counts · 11 pointsr/london

I've got a cheap knock-off one from Amazon - it's a bit crap in that it only lasts ~1hr before I need to recharge it, but the video is great (especially for that price) and I figured I'd try a cheap one to see whether I actually use it.

Got my first letter saying a video I recorded got a driver a £100 fine and 2 points on his license last Friday. \o/

u/perlandbeer · 11 pointsr/JusticeServed

Or something with improved resolution, perhaps one depicted using a Lite-Brite?

u/allgoaton · 9 pointsr/Parenting

Preschool teacher here!

Expensive STEM stuff -- I've worked with all of them. If I had to get one, I'd probably do Osmo.

Bee bots

Dot and Dash

Cubetto

Osmo

---------

Other Manipulatives and Toys:

Reptangles - I found these at Savers and my students are super in to them right now.

Snap Circuits

Ikea Cars (not really stem but fun and high quality)

Mobilos -- can create cars but also so many other things

Marble runs of any style

"Pattern Play" Blocks -- We have these but I don't have the instructions, but kids still end up making fun designs out of them!

BIG Waffle Blocks

Architectural blocks sets -- for example

------

I have a major soft spot for board games (and related) at this age. Here are a few I love.

Animal Upon Animal

The Little Orchard

Count Your Chickens

Snug as a Bug in a Rug

Snail's Pace Race

Rivers, Roads, and Rails

-----

Ultimately, though, your focus should be on having fun! Your 3 year old does not need to be reading and writing or doing basic math. He should be learning to play cooperatively, self regulate, and be independent. I would focus on language skills and his ability to communicate effectively and understand directions. I teach Pre-K (currently 5 year olds about to go into Kindergarten) and I do not care at all whether they can write their names or do simple math.

u/FaxCelestis · 8 pointsr/daddit

Agreed on the freaking V-Tech. Ugh.

LeapFrog is hit-or-miss too in my experience. We got Violet and not only is she a big hit, she's not really all that annoying. But this goddamn thing? Uuuuuuuuugh.

u/Neeerp · 8 pointsr/UofT

you can't go wrong with one of these badboys

u/[deleted] · 7 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

Gotta go with the LeapFrog - My Own LeapTop, Green

Great beginner keeb.

Highly portable, minimalist design. What is that even, 20%? It doesn't even have numbers or any function keys, that's how good it is. The less the keyboard has, the better it is, and more importantly, the cooler you are.

Next great thing about the LeapFrog is the A E S T H E T I C. Very colorful scheme.

It's also very ergonomic. Now, I don't have any scientific evidence that it's ergonomic or would actually reduce the risk of injury, but that never stopped anyone. If you don't use this keeb, your spine will go out of alignment and you will be bedridden within a few years.

My daughter might be a bit young at only 7 weeks old, but yeah I will be getting one.

u/munkijunk · 5 pointsr/londoncycling

I really feel for you, but I think this is as a good a time as any to remind people to get a camera, use it and report bad drivers. I have two of these, and for £35 I may not be any safer, but if my family ever have to take a case against someone who murders me with their car they'll at least be closer to getting some kind of justice. The more geared up we all are, and the more we are willing to report dangerous behaviour on the roads, the safer all of us will be.

u/RyanFromQA · 5 pointsr/DIY

To answer the first question, here's what the switches are for. Sorry if it wasn't clear from the album.

TL;DR #1: The switches are for people with disabilities to interact with toys, iOS devices etc. They normally cost a lot of money but I made 4 switches for less than half the price of one commercial ability switch.


Single-switch devices are important for individuals with a wide range of disabilities. They are used for a wide range of accessibility things.

At one extreme end of the spectrum, Stephen Hawking used to use a simple single switch control for this computer when he was able to move his hand. It was actually depicted in a pivotal scene in the Theory of Everything. He describes it in this video. Now I believe he uses eye-gaze tracking.

A switch like this can be plugged into an interface box which can be used to control an iOS or Android device. Or for severely disabled people they can be used to simply answer yes or no audibly.

At the other end of the spectrum is my cousin's daughter. She's less than 2 years old and she has visual impairment as well as other medical issues which involve motor control.

For her, switches like these help her play with toys that she doesn't have the fine motor control to play with.

For example, you can put one toy on her left side connected to one switch, and another on her right side connected to another switch. One toy might be like the light shown in the gif from the album, which speaks when activated, and shines light (she can detect differences in light). On the right you might put a toy like this which makes sound and vibrates. Then you position one switch near her left hand and one switch near her right hand. As she hits the switches she's rewarded with the toys reacting to her (edit: and each toy's reaction is very different), and she learns cause and effect.

Also, importantly, she learns to use the switches which will probably be a part of her life permanently, unfortunately.

TL;DR #2: To answer the other question asked about the toys, yes you need special toys.


As part of this project I converted two toys to be accessible. I didn't take pictures along the way, so I can't post a DIY about them, but I can do better than that.

The stuffed dog in this gif a LeapFrog MyPal Violet, which talks, lights up, and sings songs, depending on which paw you squeeze. I used this amazing hour-long tutorial video to adapt the toy for these type of switches.

Essentially, I spliced into the wiring for the paws and created a breakout box that lets you plug in a switch to each paw if you want. Think of this as a "level 2" to the use described above since the differences between what the switch does is more subtle.

The lantern was even easier. There's a big switch at the top, which has two wires running back to the main control board at the bottom. I cut and soldered a splice into both wires, and ran them to a mono jack from radio shack. Then I drilled a hole in the back of the lantern and mounted the jack back there, et voila, you can plug in an external switch. The whole process took me about 20 minutes because I was already set up from having done the Violet toy.

Another way you can make toys accessible is by using a battery interrupter, which works with simpler toys, or other devices like a fan, radio etc. You switch the connected device on, and then the ability switch controls the on/off. The problem with these is they can't interact with complex toys like the MyPal, and they are very fragile and tend to break.

u/Febtober2k · 5 pointsr/nyc

Thank you OP. I just purchased this for my son, so I'll be on the lookout for any illicit activity.

u/imonlyhalfazn · 4 pointsr/Mommit

OMG your house needs this toy then!

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Game &... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079JL2FSY?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

My son was always stealing his dads controllers to “play” and Just yesterday this came in the mail. He’s 14 months old and looooves it so far. Granted it’s only been 1 day and he’s older than yours, but it has turned our daycare commute from a screamfest to him happily playing with this toy.

Great $9 spent!

u/Creepypasta6 · 4 pointsr/AskReddit
u/emeraldeyes · 3 pointsr/Mommit

A book (or a few books) are nice. You could go with some traditional story books, or learning books. My daughter loves looking at books. These are some of her favorites:

http://www.amazon.com/First-100-Words-Bright-Baby/dp/B000F7BPCU/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312305286&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Book-casebound-Board-Books/dp/0312511078/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312305354&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Biscuit-Alyssa-Satin-Capucilli/dp/0064442128/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312305382&sr=1-7
(there are lots of "Biscuit" books, this is just one)

Another suggesting is LeapFrog's Violet. It's a toy (I know your bro said no toys), but I have to tell you that my daughter LOVES Violet. You can program her to know your niece's name and say it and sing songs with her name in it. You can change the songs that are played, Violet's "favorite" colors, foods, etc to match with whatever your niece is into at the time and so much more. My daughter (22 months) goes through phases where she's literally attached at the hip with the thing. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-19157-My-Pal-Violet/dp/B001W35I8I/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312305595&sr=1-1

Another idea is to get one of those Hallmark recordable books and record yourself reading a story to your niece. I did that for my daughter's 1st birthday (there's a little dedication section too) and my husband did one for Christmas. Here's another link: http://www.hallmark.com/online/in-stores/storybooks/recordable-storybooks/

All of these things are $30 and under, so hopefully you can find something to fit your budget. :)

u/AmericanAir88 · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue
u/umcle_hisses · 2 pointsr/gamedev

My game resembles an old DOS game and so it's got a fake BIOS bootup. That's a great basket for eggs for sure because it's all just text. Those old BIOS bootups were obtuse anyway -- loading up such-and-such a config file, listing some initialization info, and so on -- so it works as part of the aesthetic too. If you're unfamiliar you should look up a video. Fun times.

Birthdays, friends' games, references to DOS-era viruses, fake cheat codes for the game, fake textures and data for the game ("Loading better graphics..."); it's all there. Some randomly appear, some appear if you hold certain keys/buttons down, some are "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" in a huge wall of text.

The randomized file listing is challenging because I'm adhering to the DOS limitation of eight characters and a three-character file extension, but there's plenty in there too.

Yeah, adding Easter eggs can definitely be cathartic when you're bored or burned out of other stuff. That's why I made it as easy as possible on myself to shove them in.

​

edit: I also have about a million sets of controller glyphs (graphical prompts for pressing A, B, LT, Start, Dpad left, etc.). Of course it (hopefully) detects the sort of controller you're using, and so I have glyphs for Xbox, DS4, Switch, and so on. That's no big deal because that's just a game feature. But there are also hidden ways to make them look like the Gravis gamepad, the MS Sidewinder, this thing (got really bored at one point), and others.

u/CummyBot2000 · 2 pointsr/copypasta

Oh, what's this? Pft, is that an iPhone? An XS plus? Are you serious? iPhones are the most popular smartphone, but they are TOTALLY overrated. I, personally, have the BY FAR more superior VTech. You probably haven't heard of it. It's from a new startup THAT IS GONNA BE BIG. The technology is so good, it is faster than the speed of light. Everyone says that about their peasant iPhone, but sometimes I am merely THINKING of selecting something and it is clicked right away. Can your iPhone do that? I bet it can't. iPhones are a load of Made in China cheap crap that is sold for at least 5000% bigger than it costs to produce. My VTech, in comparison (since it was from the super new, hip, consumer friendly BDE startup), costs just $15. That's right, FIFTEEN DOLLARS. I paid infinitely less money for my far more superior phone than your neanderthal brick. Plus, it comes in a more variety of colors, including "Violet," "Scout (a beautiful lime-green shade)" and a ton more colors. Your iPhone is some cheap aluminum shiny crap with a stupid glass screen that you crustily cry over when it breaks. Your fault for buying a phone with a fragile screen, which you touch EVERYDAY. My phone is made of an OLED LED Soft Transparent Touch Sensitive plastic made of unicorn horn and mermaid tears. The materials are unused by anyone else; that's why the phone is such a bargain! I was visiting an anti-vaxx protest rally and I simply walked past and all of the sudden the people stopped protesting. Turns out, they became vaccinated and regained their brain cells. What can I say, that's a Vtech for ya! Critics of my VTech say that the design is terrible. I don't blame them; they have been brainwashed by Steve Jobs and Timmy Turner. Who doesn't enjoy the slick design, which includes pictures of puppies, teddy bears, or, if you prefer, plain. Now THAT is diversity. Also, there is no need for the "app store." I needed to use my Word Finder on my VTech to see what app store means. The necessary apps are already installed, so what else is there to have? The weather, ABC, shape, music, and puppy apps are more than enough, I am over the moon. Oops, I'm getting a call... Hello? Yes! ... Just talking about my VTech... iPhone... Yeah, I'll tell them. Alright, my super hot smart girlfriend just told me to tell you your crummy iPhone makes her question the human race's intelligence. She goes to Yale Harvard Brown University, so she knows what's up. Wait, let me send you the link to order a VTech... here you go! No problem, as a VTech user, it is my civil duty to show people the light of VTech. Let me just take that... *punts your iPhone through the skyscrapers of Dubai* You're welcome!

This activity table has been a big hit from when they could sit (about 6 months) til now (14 months). They still use it fairly frequently. https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Laugh-Learn-Around-Learning/dp/B01ASVCTIG

Toy cellphones also remain popular, AND spares my cellphone from their wrath: https://www.amazon.com/VTech-Touch-Swipe-Baby-Phone/dp/B00HLAN5GS

IKEA has a pop up play tent and crawl tube (BUSA) that terrified them when we first set them up at 12 months, but now at 14 months they're a favorite and will probably last for quite a while.

u/chikibooz · 2 pointsr/robotics

It’s a toy to help think how to talk to Robots. For 5+ look at Botley. My son LOVES it.

u/alternatego1 · 2 pointsr/toddlers

The snake toy!!! You put it together by individual pieces, each piece goes in a particular direction and plays a tune, put them together in different patterns and combos, put More pieces together for longer songs. I'm sorry I don't remember the name I just remember my friends toddler going at it. By in a particular direction u mean when the snakes light hits that tune the snake move to the right if it has a right arrow on it, straigh t arrow it goes straight, all while the tune is going edit: its called code-apiller https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Think-Learn-Code-a-Pillar-Toy/dp/B01ASVD2L4

Sounds like fun! I'll have to do this later

1.) Something that is grey: Pelican Gray Nail Polish. (on private WL)

2.) Something reminiscent of rain: Shower Curtain is a barrier between the bathroom tiles and cascading, rain-like, waterfall that flows from the showerhead. (on dream WL)

3.) Something food related that is unusual: Candy Mold. Chocolate frogs, anyone? (on under $5 WL)

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!): Ice Cream Maker. No ice cream for me because I started keto last week. My friends and family would benefit from this when I make them some delicious ice cream. (on dream WL)

5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it!: The Knife of Never Letting Go. It's book one of the Chaos Walking trilogy, which has rave reviews. Apparently it's a dark, dystopian book full of suspense. (on high priority WL)

6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related!: Laser Finger Beams (not on WL)

7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...): Westside Warrior Nail Polish. Lions, which are really big cats, are warriors of the jungle. (on under $5 WL)

8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it: Origami Star Paper. I like folding these, but once I make them into stars, I literally have nothing to do with them. There's jars of them all across my house and all I can do is look at them (on under $5 WL)

9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why?: Song from Iron Man 3 Soundtrack. Everyone should see it because Iron Man + Tony Stark + RDJ = <3 (on digital WL)

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.: Spin-the-shot. If zombies attack, I would need to be drunk, so this would come in handy for some last minute fun before I turn into a brain eating zombie. Let's face it, I'm not surviving a zombie attack... (on $5-$10 WL)

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals: Coconut Oil. Everyone on the keto subreddit raves about this stuff. Being a newbie to this lifestyle, I feel that if so many people had great results using this oil, that it would help with my goals. (on $11-$25 WL)

12.) One of those pesky Add-On items: Anti-stress face mask (not surprisingly, found on my add-on WL)

13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?: Globe Bar. I would feel like a super cool James Bond-esque spy who would have a secret room hidden behind a bookshelf. Plus I love alcohol and globes. (on dream WL)

14.) Something bigger than a bread box: Desk Easel. (on $11-25 WL)

15.) Something smaller than a golf ball: Earrings. (on private WL)

16.) Something that smells wonderful: Pink Punch Baby Lips (on add-ons WL)

17.) A (SFW) toy: Kindle. I would consider this a techie toy. (on dream WL)

18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school: Fun Colored Pens. (on add-on WL)

19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be: Paints. My current obsession is painting! (on $11-25 WL)

20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand: Mug. I love love love this literature mug. I not only love the varying typography all over it, but I think that there are some really striking first lines of literature. (on $11-25 WL)

BONUS

1.) Real name: PM sent

2.) Made in Oregon: Handwarmer Mug

Edit: raffle phrase - fear cuts deeper than swords

u/yosoybillbrasky · 2 pointsr/sandiego

I found a video on YouTube of some guy who did a pseudo teardown on one of these. They aren't too complicated and not 100% sealed with epoxy. Should be easy to fix.

If it can't be fixed you could order another one from Amazon for $15 and just take the electronics out of your son's scout, setup the new scout like the old, and then transplant the new scout's electronics into the old scout, and non-the-wiser. IMO this may be the better way to start with, because then you get all new electronics, buttons and LED and it's still the "same" scout on the outside to your son. Only downside is a possible ethics debate about plush-toy organ-harvesting :P

I'm free most this weekend so PM if you're interested and can meet in PB.

A lot of people hang bells from the doorknob and ring them each time they let the dog out; the dogs pick up that "bells=door opens" pretty quickly.

I have cats who played nonstop with the bells when I tried that approach, so instead I got these buttons off of Amazon, mounted them on the wall next to the door at nose height, and taught my dog to push the button with his nose when he needs to go out.

How about a toy flashlight. It will keep baby busy and could come in handy if they need a quick light.

u/Stuff_i_care_about · 1 pointr/NewParents

A warming story, we adopted our daughter a year ago. She's the best!

They may have baby stuff but the needs of a 1 year old are different than a newborn. I only mention that if they have mostly infant gear then perhaps there are some 1 year old appropriate items you can offer.

This is around the time you get children become more mobile. If their child is not walking yet, she may benefit from "walker" toys that help her learn. Thing you push around to gain strength and practice.

Our one year old LOVES this Fisher Price toy chair that sings when you sit in it. Somebody gave it as a gift and when we saw it we didn't really think she would be that interested. Of course every child is different.

Let me find a link.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Chair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J49UU0I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nIn2AbMTXB6RH

Also devices to child proof the house would be put to good use. Plugs for sockets, gates, things to soften corners, latches for cabinets, etc.


Do they have a registry for gifts? If they put thought into the exact things they need or want (there are so many brands of everything), you cannot go wrong with anything on the list. Even the stuff that seems less exciting, they will need and appreciate.

You can also offer to help them when they are adjusting to their new life. Go over and mow the lawn or wash dishes, stuff they will neglect until they find a new ballance in their life. Order them a spontaneous pizza. Cook foods that reheat easily, that sort of thing.

She has done coding with Scratch, Microbit, and Minecraft. She has made a balloon and other pictures through coding as well. She has created a Minecraft rollercoaster type park on her desktop while using her laptop side by side to get on the instructional videos from youtube, so she's good about learning stuff online by herself.

She has a one on one tech teacher who gives her three hour lessons once a week. She knows how to put together a basic kiddie computer, which means she's already better than I am tech wise. lol. I think she has a good intro to tech so far.

Her main interest is chemistry though. She wants to blow stuff up but I don't think she's ready for that yet. But tech is probably a close second as she spends all of her free time in front of the computer. Unlike most parents, I let her have unlimited internet access. Her spoken english is of an 11 yo even tho she's only 7.

Is it possible to combine chemistry with tech?

As far as math, she has already mastered addition, subtraction, and multiplication (3 digits times 3 digits). Her has done division, fractions, and the number line. I'm probably going to teach complex division and fractions during Christmas break. Not bad for a kid who started grade 2 a couple of months ago.

She has already used Dash by manually operating it using her ipad and coding his movement, so she already has a rudimentary intro on what a robot is about. https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-Workshop-Dash-Activated-Programming/dp/B00SKURVKY/ref=sr_1_6?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1539117016&sr=1-6&keywords=robots+for+kids

If she was your kiddo, what else would you want her to learn? She seems pick things up quickly.

Congratulations man! Get your gaming in now and never let it get in the way of being a dad.

You can game and be a dad, it is possible. A lot more casual than you might be used to but it is possible.

If it sings "I've got a remote and I'm ready to roll, making things happen 'cause I'm in control," it was made by Fisher Price and was still available at big box stores a couple of years ago.

Oh, what's this? Pft, is that an iPhone? An XS pwus? Awe you sewious? iPhones awe the most popuwaw smawtphone, but they awe TOTAWWY ovewwated. I, pewsonawwy, have the BY FAW mowe supewiow VTech. You pwobabwy haven't heawd of it. It's fwom a new stawtup THAT IS GONNA BE BIG. The technowogy is so good, it is fastew than the speed of wight. Evewyone says that about theiw peasant iPhone, but sometimes I am mewewy THINKING of sewecting something and it is cwicked wight away. Can youw iPhone do that? I bet it can't. iPhones awe a woad of Made in China cheap cwap that is sowd fow at weast 5000% biggew than it costs to pwoduce. My VTech, in compawison (since it was fwom the supew new, hip, consumew fwiendwy BDE stawtup), costs just $15. That's wight, FIFTEEN DOWWAWS. I paid infinitewy wess money fow my faw mowe supewiow phone than youw neandewthaw bwick. Pwus, it comes in a mowe vawiety of cowows, incwuding "Viowet," "Scout (a beautifuw wime-gween shade)" and a ton mowe cowows. Youw iPhone is some cheap awuminum shiny cwap with a stupid gwass scween that you cwustiwy cwy ovew when it bweaks. Youw fauwt fow buying a phone with a fwagiwe scween, which you touch EVEWYDAY. My phone is made of an OWED WED Soft Twanspawent Touch Sensitive pwastic made of unicown hown and mewmaid teaws. The matewiaws awe unused by anyone ewse; that's why the phone is such a bawgain! I was visiting an anti-vaxx pwotest wawwy and I simpwy wawked past and aww of the sudden the peopwe stopped pwotesting. Tuwns out, they became vaccinated and wegained theiw bwain cewws. What can I say, that's a Vtech fow ya! Cwitics of my VTech say that the design is tewwibwe. I don't bwame them; they have been bwainwashed by Steve Jobs and Timmy Tuwnew. Who doesn't enjoy the swick design, which incwudes pictuwes of puppies, teddy beaws, ow, if you pwefew, pwain. Now THAT is divewsity. Awso, thewe is no need fow the "app stowe." I needed to use my Wowd Findew on my VTech to see what app stowe means. The necessawy apps awe awweady instawwed, so what ewse is thewe to have? The weathew, ABC, shape, music, and puppy apps awe mowe than enough, I am ovew the moon. Oops, I'm getting a caww... Hewwo? Yes! ... Just tawking about my VTech... iPhone... Yeah, I'ww teww them. Awwight, my supew hot smawt giwwfwiend just towd me to teww you youw cwummy iPhone makes hew question the human wace's intewwigence. She goes to Yawe Hawvawd Bwown Univewsity, so she knows what's up. Wait, wet me send you the wink to owdew a VTech... hewe you go! No pwobwem, as a VTech usew, it is my civiw duty to show peopwe the wight of VTech. Wet me just take that... *punts youw iPhone thwough the skyscwapews of Dubai* You'we wewcome!

I found it. Doesn't really look like Yoda, but is named Yano and does look like an 80's puppet. Puppets are actually made out of marinara, BTW.http://www.amazon.com/Yano-Storyteller-Talking-Animated-Toy/dp/B000N11OTC

6 year old girl who needs to be entertained and stimulate learning- Craft supplies. Perler bead set would be good, but can't get ironed in a hospital maybe the similar ones that you use water to fuse them.

Expensive but maybe a robot that you program yourself like Dash

My daughter loves Find it books something similar to this. Along a similar vein she could do Mad Libs but would need help on what a noun, verb, adjective is etc...

I have this go pro knock off: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073WWSYJK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9B8JDb9Z5TZHX

Does the trick for the price. Records for about 1hr30min but comes with two batteries.

Sound isn't great I will admit, but I haven't played with it much, I just wanted it to have proof of anything happened!

Can't fault it for the price, and if anything happens, for that price, I'm not bothered!!

u/SteveHarveysSuit · 1 pointr/Parenting

Bought this for my niece who just turned 1, her mom said it was her favorite present.

Bought this for her for Christmas. I anticipate her loving it.

I don't mind tables or electronic entertainment in general. If you're worried about your kid being a lump on the couch you can check the link above. My wife got at and kiddo loves it (so my wife took it away, SMH).

I went searching for this for my 3yo and soon to be 2yo. We recently found a VTECH Spin & Learn Color Flashlight . They both love it, but it plays music and games, sometimes to unbearable levels.

I do have 70% tint stickers that I plan to use for a flashlights for them now.

Congratulations on this sobriety. It's not an easy task, as a few of my siblings suffer from addictions. But anyway, [This] (http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Laugh-Learn-Click-Remote/dp/B005XVCR48/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=NEAIO1BF7QCZ&coliid=I1MN9K4066LED) would be awesome cause it would stop my daughter from stealing and losing the real one.

I made these sweet Manzanita Tree Centerpieces. I bought Manzanita branches, dried them in the sun, painstakingly peeled each and every tiny branch, painted each tree, then potted each tree, adding sparkly lights, pebbles and moss to the base of each tree. They're quite nice!

Ring size 7.5!

I could really use this Fake TV Remote Baby Toy so my son will stop chewing on our real remote. He figured out how to turn the xbox, ps3, tv and sound system on and off last month and it's been unpleasant ever since.

I got myself a Crosstour 4k for recording my summer bikepacking trip. I also bought a kit of various attachments, mainly for the chest harness but also the monopod proved very useful, and a few spare batteries to keep it going for longer. (A battery will record between 1.5-2 hours.) Considering how cheap the camera is, I've considered getting a second one to mount under the saddle pointing backwards.

Apart from said bikepacking trip, I've tested it in London mounted on my handlebars. Mind you, I only used 720p @ 30 fps on normal quality to save disk space, so the picture is a bit porridgey. (The camera will do 1080p @ 30 fps, or 720p @ 60/30 fps, in fine/normal/low quality.)

For the price, I think it's a decent piece of kit. Interpret that as you wish. One thing to note, is that each time you remove the battery the time and date will reset. If you depend on that being overlayed you'll be setting it a lot, which I would personally find annoying, unless you always charge the battery in the camera. Other settings are persisted, the clock clearly has no backup power to keep it going.

u/Final_Cause · 1 pointr/MotoUK

I'm definitely going for the cheapest camera that is still HD quality and waterproof. E.g: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073WWSYJK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AGFQ4N3973X2N&psc=1

​

There's a vent in the chin of the BX-1 that'd be good to keep air flow into. I see people with them mounted on the side and wondered how that worked, so it's adhesive and an arm?

Cameras right on the top look a bit silly. But I'm going for function over fashion.

I hadn't thought of a rear facing camera, is that common or is it seen as over cautious? I guess if someone goes into the back of you that'd be clear from the helmet cam when you look around, no?

u/theguywhodidthething · 1 pointr/videography

Hi r/videography. I'm a musician and looking to get a video camera that can record sessions in my bedroom studio for about 6 hours. I've been looking at the Crosstour CT series (I'm on a budget below £50). If I keep this product plugged in and have a 32gb SD card recording at 1080p would that produce clean images? If there are other cheap cameras you think would be better suited to a stationary wide angle pursuit like this please let me know.

This is the camera i was looking at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073WWSYJK/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

I really need to get a pair of these headphones since the normal hard ones hurt my ears! (on my $15 and under list)

Otherwise...

These are pretty cool and are on my $5 and under wishlist
