Kids love video games, but understandably, parents can justify the gaming time better when kids are actually playing something educational. That’s where Flare Play comes in to make everyone happy. This new gaming platform gives kids a huge variety of age-appropriate video games, with lots of parental controls and no clutter of discs or cartridges.
Be sure to enter the giveaway below for a chance win your own gaming console!
With more 150 educational games and interactive ebooks designed just for kids from LEGO, Disney, Pixar, Warner Brothers, even Hooked on Phonics, the compact Flare Play console easily plugs into your TV’s HDMI port, then streams all the content –including downloadable Android games — right to your screen via WiFi.
Up to four players can join in for collaborative play, and robust parental controls allow you to create five individual profiles for kids, and set restrictions based on each child’s age.
Because the console is so small, Flare Play is perfect for small living spaces or for families who don’t want a huge gaming system taking up their living room. It’s also perfect for travel, when you need a little diversion or rainy day group fun.
And it’s a budget-friendly gift too: $49.99, gets you the console, 50 free games, a controller, and a one-month membership. Additional membership levels are based on your kids’ interest and usage, starting at $4.99 a month with no contract.
