You know, for kids

Teachers and parents know that early exposure to holding and using a writing tool is important for a child’s motor skill development and their ability to learn to read. Moving from finger-touch learning to holding a pencil is a major milestone, especially those entering preschool and kindergarten.

Children learn to use touch screen devices at a young age, usually without our permission, we then quickly give them to our children in restaurants when their boredom level rises or at home- just to get those valuable few minutes of down-time after a long day.

My 28 month old loves the Maglus Stylus and he is eager to try out the early learning apps that I have downloaded or bought, of course this now means I need his permission to use my tablet and I know I will eventually have to buy a second Maglus and tablet for my own use. Starting next week, I will be reviewing app’s suitable for children to use with the Maglus Stylus.

Top tip : I use the “all cleaning baby wipes” for cleaning the screen on my tablet and the silicone tip on the Maglus Stylus- they work perfectly.

Scott's two year old already monopolizes his smartphone and Android tablet, so Scott wants him to learn how to write and draw using the Maglus Stylus. This will hopefully mean less re-decorating of the house, as he likes using crayons on the walls when the paper's all used up. That's his son, not Scott. When he's not helping customers get the most from their Maglus Stylus, Scott likes to mountain bike, hike, swim, and spend time in the park with his family.
