CES 2019: Sphero Specdrums music ring

CES 2019  Reflecting changing times in toy industry.  (toybook, 2/18/2019)

LOOK MA, NO SCREENS. Parents are increasingly more aware—and distraught—about their kids’ screen time, and they are looking for alternatives. One of the biggest trends at CES this year was the preponderance of toys that don’t rely on screens. Sphero partnered with Specdrums to create app-enabled wearable rings in which users can tap out tunes using a colorful musical mat to bridge harmonies, compose songs, and create beats.

$65 for one ring, $100 for 2 rings.

Carrying case available.
