Bath time with small tots can be a struggle. I remember enduring many tears (sometimes even my own) as I rushed through too many baths in hopes of easing the discomfort. Special toys, bubbles, and songs became the norm, and eventually, my kids grew to love bath time. Bedtime posed it’s own unique challenges, particularly during the transition from co-sleeping to my kids’ own beds. Some nights you’ll still find me waking up at midnight from the discomfort of sleeping on my kids’ bedroom floor to help them fall asleep.
Enter Edwin, the Smart Duck every child (and parent) will want at their side for bath time, bedtime, and everything in between (in between times?). He hums…he quacks…he ruffles his tail feathers. Fashioned to the traditional, and iconic rubber duck, Edwin will quickly become your child’s new best friend, transforming bath time, bedtime, and playtime into an immersive experience.
Unlike ordinary rubber ducks, Edwin is equipped with SQUACK Technology which enables him to connect and interact with your child via the 2 free apps, currently available. The moment my kids pulled Edwin out of the box, they couldn’t stop singing and engaging with him. And of course, we face a new bedtime battle…who gets to fall asleep with Edwin?
Waterproof and BLUETOOTH-enabled, Edwin will change how parents and kids view bath time, bedtime, and playtime.
Bath Time: I see Edwin being a game changer when it comes to bath time, particularly for smaller tots who don’t enjoy the discomfort of getting wet. Stream music while your child engages with Edwin for a splashing good time. Water temperature too hot? Edwin will show you thanks to his built-in thermometer. Because Edwin is waterproof, he’s also mold-resistant, a feature every parent who’s ever owned a stinky rubber duck will appreciate.
Bedtime: No more bedtime excuses once Edwin enters your home. My kids wanted to go to bed just to hear the lullabies streaming from this Smart Duck. With a firm tap, Edwin also serves as a nightlight with 3 different levels of brightness. Set a timer on the app and you can determine how long Edwin will stream lullabies or white noise. I’m personally thinking of sneaking Edwin out with me once my kids fall asleep so I can fall asleep to the sound of a soft rain.
Playtime: Perhaps the most compelling feature of Edwin is the fact that he has longevity and can be used beyond bath time and bedtime. At present, the free app includes one story, one song, and one game, but there are several more of each in development. The current story, Edwin Feeling Small, inspires confidence within children, teaches them healthy habits, and encourages interaction with the built-in game.
Shapes With Edwin is ideal for helping smaller tots learn their shapes. Upcoming games include those that will help young children learn letters, numbers, and colors. My hope is that the developers will also create an app with games targeting older kids, like my son, who loves Edwin as much as my daughter.
Get kids up and moving with Song Time. The current song is bath time-specific, but there are several songs currently in development that will engage kids with Edwin. I personally like the ability to stream music. Because Edwin is BLUETOOTH-enabled, simply connect to any device containing music and stream during playtime, bath time, or nap time.
One of the most compelling features about Edwin is the longevity I see. With new apps currently in development, Edwin will grow with my kids. With 180 sounds, kids will constantly be challenged to see what Edwin can do.
Edwin the Duck is already winning over parents, kids and industry experts, taking home the grand prize at The Innovation Showcase and winning The Best of Tech at the TechPoint Mira Awards. Edwin is also a finalist in the Last Gadget Standing Awards at CES. Bluetooth speaker, sound machine, night light and thermometer all packaged nicely into one innovative rubber duckie, Edwin is the smartest duck I’ve ever seen.
Edwin the Duck retails for $99.99. For more information or to purchase Edwin the Duck, visit EdwinTheDuck.com.
