Written on Jan 14, 2009 by Brian and filed under News, Sakar

Crayola took part in the CES excitement by announcing several new kid’s tech products which are being developed and produced by Sakar. Our favorite is the MP3 player which looks fun and is easy for kids to grip.

Crayola MP3 Player

The Crayola MP3 Player is designed for children 4 and older and has a fun lozenge-shaped control panel with five large differently colored buttons for each function. The MP3 player also features a built-in voice recorder and speaker, for more interactive play. It holds 2GB of music and comes with earbuds as well as colorful letter stickers enabling kids to affix their names to the unit. The player runs on one AAA battery (not included) and can be plugged into the Crayola AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio dock.

The Crayola MP3 Player is due out in Q2 at a retail price of $49.99.

Crayola AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio

Crayola’s AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio is for kids ages 4 and up and is a lively designed cube with super-sized buttons. The clock features a music dock on the top that fits any MP3 player including the new Crayola MP3 Player, a large digital time display on the front and a built-in projector that beams the time up to the ceiling where kids can see it while lying in bed. It includes ‘sound soother’ sound effect buttons, a snooze button and an auxiliary plug for a headphone jack connection.

The Crayola Clock Radio is due out in Q2 at a retail price of $29.99.

Crayola Walkie-Talkie

The Crayola Walkie-Talkie set is designed for ages 3 and up comes with three changeable face plates in multi-colored patterns for variety and personalization. It features rubberized side grips for easy handling, plus easy-to-find pastel buttons and antennas.

The Crayola Walkie-Talkies will retail for $14.99 (pair) and will be available in the second quarter.
