One of our favorite ways to spend some local quality time with family is by heading to the Queens Zoo located in Flushing meadow park. My lil' monsters are always asking to use our cellphones to take photos and videos to record their day-to-day monster mayhem, and get excited to use anything with a shiny touchscreen. I'm always worried that little sticky fingers and clumsy hands will end up breaking one of our phones or tablets within a blink of an eye. We figured a family outing to the zoo would be the perfect way to let them test out the new Kidizoom Smartwatch from VTech while discovering all the beautiful wildlife. 

When I first learned about the VTech Kidizoom SmartWatch last month at Blogger Bash, I was really impressed with all of the features included in this multi-purpose watch for kids. My 3 yr. old Tristan is too young to tell time, but I think it's still helpful for him to use it for number recognition and he likes to (pretend) to tell time like his big brother CJ. We get a kick out of his confidence when he looks down at the screen to tell us "it's 13'o clock"'with pride. Here's some details on the smartwatch:
