My kids love books. One of their favorite places to go is the bookstore. It’s very hard to get them out of there. I realize that’s a good problem to have! They both, especially my daughter, love pop-up books. Only I didn’t like buying them. My daughter, somewhat, took care of them, but my son always wanted to see how the pop-up worked and ended up tearing it. Always. And yes…it drove me insane!
We live in a tech world and Popar Toys have come up with an amazing solution to my pop-up dilemma. They take 3D to a whole new level by combining technology with fun loving stories kids love!!
Why are these Books so Unique?
When you first look at these books, they appear to be like any other hardcover book.
Once you open the book, you quickly see that this is no ordinary book. In order to fully experience this book, you need to either download the app (can be found at the Apple App store or Google Play). By doing this, you allow the story to fully come to life!! And don’t worry, if you don’t have an iOS or android device, it’s OK…you can use your computers webcam! There are directions in the front of the book.
As you go through the book, simply aim your device at the pages and you see the book come to life. I will say, for younger kids, I would recommend using a tablet or the webcam. I could see younger children having a little trouble with smaller device, like a phone.
The first book I looked at was Construction Machines 3D book. My son went through a phase when he was younger where he was obsessed with construction vehicles. I wish I had this book for him back then. There are a lot of interactive features and probably my favorite is that kids can watch videos of the various construction vehicles in action! I’m looking forward to showing this book to my nephew over Thanksgiving!! He’s 2 and will LOVE this!
The Princess and Her Pals 3D book was the other book I received. This book is bright and colorful and each page comes to life like nothing you’ve ever seen. I really liked that on each page, the princess had a little animal friend. My daughters favorite was the kitten. She wished there was an alligator in the book, but I explained that most princesses probably didn’t like alligators as much as she did!
