Back in my day, teddy bears were just teddy bears. They were soft and cuddly, but thats about it. Seedling has just brought the teddy bear to the next level. My kids can now have the plush comfort of a teddy bear and use technology to turn it into a patient with “real” ouchies and tummy aches.
Parker the augmented reality bear is the best patient for kids to play doctor with. First, there are no batteries or electronics. He connects to your phone through his tummy, which is literally a QR code. Download the free Parker app, scan the tummy, and start playing!
Using the camera as your lens, scan parker to see where his cuts are, how high his temperature is and where he is hurting. He even has this adorable x-ray sheet where you can see his little bear bones.
Every time the boys help Parker, his “happiness factor” goes up. When his happiness reaches new heights, the app unlocks all sorts of games for the kids. I think this is an adorable way to teach the kids to take care of each other.
Here’s the coolest part: Seedling calls Parker a STEAM toy. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. So basically the kids are getting smarter and playing smarter. Sounds like a win to me! Thanks Seedling for sending Parker to us. The boys can’t keep their hands off of him!
