As many of you know, my kids attend private Catholic school. I realize that's not for everyone, but it works well for us. That being said, I do like it when I find products that compliment that. Ani-Mates does just that. Ani-Mates are talking stuffed animals that bring over 30 preloaded, professionally recorded children's Bible stories to vivid life for young listeners (this is about an hour of talk time for the puppy). I love that we can then discuss what we just listened too. The Ani-Mates(a bear, a puppy or lamb) feature mouths that move in simulated speaking as digitally recorded Bible stories play through hidden speakers. Basically, the animal looks like he is talking. With the download of a free app, children can watch the stories come to life on a smart phone as they listen to even more stories being told! There is also an earphone jack on this for private listening. I love that if you give this as a gift, you can leave a gift message (which I find totally cool). The puppy we received is very easy to use. My kids really don't need my help at all. Here's a quick look for you to see how the Ani-Mates work.
Ani-Mates is available in now online atAni-Matesand through leading Christian retailers. Since I know that this would make a great addition in any home, I have arranged for one lucky reader to win one! Here's what you need to do:
