Kid's Play YPhone Review: A Fun and Educational Toy for Young Minds

In today's digital age, it's no surprise that children are often drawn to smartphones and tablets, mimicking their parents' interactions with these devices. Recognizing this trend, toy manufacturers have developed a range of kid-friendly electronic toys that aim to provide entertainment and education in a controlled and engaging manner. One such toy is the Kid's Play YPhone, a device designed to mimic a smartphone while offering a safe and educational experience for young users.

Design and Appearance:

The Kid's Play YPhone is designed to resemble a modern smartphone, complete with a colorful screen and realistic icons. It comes in vibrant hues that appeal to children and is lightweight, making it easy for little hands to hold and manipulate. The size and form factor are appropriate for kids aged 2 to 6, emulating the look and feel of a real smartphone without the risks associated with actual devices.

Features and Functionality:

At its core, the Kid's Play YPhone is an electronic toy that simulates a smartphone experience without the connectivity, distractions, or potential hazards of a real device. It features a touch-sensitive screen that responds to a child's touch, allowing them to explore different icons and activities. These icons often represent basic functions like a phone call, camera, gallery, messages, and even simple games.

Educational Value:

What sets the Kid's Play YPhone apart from a standard toy smartphone is its educational component. The device incorporates activities that promote learning, such as introducing letters, numbers, shapes, and colors through interactive games and puzzles. These activities are designed to engage children's cognitive skills and help them develop essential early literacy and numeracy skills in a playful environment.

Benefits:

1. Screen Time Management: The Kid's Play YPhone offers a screen-based experience while allowing parents to control the content and duration of playtime. This can be especially valuable in teaching children healthy screen time habits from a young age.

2. Imagination and Creativity: While it may resemble a smartphone, the Kid's Play YPhone encourages imaginative play. Children can engage in role-playing scenarios, such as making pretend calls or taking pictures, which can enhance their creative thinking skills.

3. Fine Motor Skills: The touch-sensitive screen of the YPhone helps develop children's fine motor skills as they tap and interact with various icons and buttons.

4. Basic Knowledge: The device introduces fundamental concepts like numbers, letters, and colors in an engaging and entertaining manner, fostering early learning.

Parental Involvement:

While the Kid's Play YPhone offers an array of educational benefits, its effectiveness greatly depends on the level of parental involvement. Parents are encouraged to guide their children's interactions, ask questions, and discuss the activities to enhance the learning experience.

Limitations:

It's important to note that the Kid's Play YPhone, like any toy, has its limitations. It's not a substitute for hands-on play, real-life experiences, or direct interactions with caregivers. Additionally, some critics argue that introducing children to smartphone-like devices at a young age might lead to an increased desire for actual smartphones as they grow older.

Final Verdict:

The Kid's Play YPhone is a well-designed and educational toy that can provide young children with a safe introduction to technology. Its combination of entertainment and learning activities, along with parental involvement, can make it a valuable addition to a child's playtime routine. However, like all toys, it should be used in moderation and supplemented with a variety of other activities that support children's holistic development.

Chapter 4

Afterwards we went to the mobile phone store, since I decided RiRi would need a new phone for her new position. Before we went in, I told her that she would have to accept the entire contract that was put before her without asking any questions.

I told her to go pick out the phone she wanted, and that I’d pay for it. She began browsing through all the high-end smart phones while I negotiated with one of the people working there. It was a little difficult to explain what I wanted, but within a half hour, we had reached an agreement. RiRi came back with a new Dapple smartphone in time to hear the terms of the contract.

“Alright Miss Scarlett, now that River is back we can finalize the contract,” the sales guy responded. River was happily playing with the Dapple Yphone as she sat down.

“You are committing to a four-year contract, with an enforced exclusivity clause. I know that’s a mouthful, so I’ll explain. Basically you are saying that you will use only this phone or another phone that Ms. Scarlett pre-approves over the next four years. You won’t be elligible for an upgrade during that time, and you can’t cancel the contract early without getting a huge penalty. If you wanted to, you could get one of those pay-as-you-go phones, but Miss Scarlett explained that you wouldn’t be interested.”

“River has too much of a guilty conscience to do that!” I said. “I’m sure if she even tried, she’d feel too guilty to go through with it.”

River had a puzzled look on her face. I had the shoes to give her a little zap, and she understood.

“Miss Scarlett explained that she’s concerned about you getting in with the wrong crowd, so we will not be transfChloeg any of your contacts over to this phone. In addition, this has the Phone Nanny, so that Miss Scarlett will be able to read any texts you send or receive, and to hear a recording of any phone call. Additionaly, this phone will have a GPS that is always on, so that Miss Scarlett can make sure you’re ok.”

River’s look changed from confused to angry about this invasion of her privacy.

“As long as you have Miss Scarlett’s approval, this phone has unlimited talk, text and web surfing. But every text, e-mail or phone call you make will go to Miss Scarlett for approval before it goes through. If she allows it, the phone will work as normal. If she declines it, it won’t go through, and you will be charged a penalty: $8 for a phone call and $5 for a text message.”

Tay seemed offended at this. Her new phone was becoming an uncomfortable little collar around her neck.

“Miss Scarlett will also keep the password for your phone account, so you cannot download apps or change settings without her approval. This contract totals $200/month plus taxes and security fees, which total to about $250/month. You will need to put the first six months of payments down today in order to secure this deal, along with buying the new Dapple phone outright. In total, you owe us $2150.”

She was speechless, her beautiful face tinged with fear of her new contract.

“The phone isn’t… included in the contract?” RiRi finally managed to say.

“I can explain that,” I cut in. “That Dapple phone is for me. It is going to be my new phone. I knew I could trust your judgment!” I held out my hand. Shattered, River handed me the Dapple phone.

“Do I get to keep my phone then?”

“No, I’m sorry. I’ll be holding onto that for you as well. I just need you to remove the password protection for me.” I held out my hand again. River didn’t seem to believe the situation was real until I raised an eyebrow at her. On the verge of tears, she fished out her beloved pink Dapple Yphone, and quickly changed the settings. She took one last look at it, and put it in my hand. I quickly put it in my purse, then fished out her big surprise.

“This will be your new phone,” I said with a measured smile. I pulled out a 3 year-old Blackberry I got for free. It was heavy, clunky, looked beat-up, and so big it nearly took up her whole purse. She would have to hold it in two hands to send a text. I made the screensaver a close-up photo of the soles of my feet, so she would constantly be staring at them. In black letters across the screen, always visible, was the words “PROPERTY OF MADAM Scarlett.” I even had indestructible metallic tape soldered onto the back of the phone, in case she tried to flip it over to hide the screen. The tape read “River Mercier 555-310-3214” and beneath that “PROPERTY OF MADAM Scarlett.”

The password, which she could not change and would have to enter every time she used the phone, was “EmmaOwnsMe.” I had uploaded into the “notes” section information about myself: likes, dislikes, favorite places, favorite foods, measurements. There was even an app I downloaded that would randomly ask RiRi a question about me, and she would have to answer it right to keep using the phone. Even the sales person at the store seemed to sympathize with Tay.

“So, all I need is your signature, and the $2150, and this is all set,” the sales clerk said, as though to give RiRi a chance to back out.

Tay gave me a pleading look, but I only smirked back. “Any time you’re ready, Tay.”

“But I don’t have $2150..” she murmured.

“That’s okay, I’ll put it on my card if you ask me nicely.” I smirked.

Her face was the portrait of despair.

“Madam Scarlett… would you please… help me pay for this new phone?” She said through clenched teeth.

“I don’t know, Tay, you don’t seem very enthusiastic about it. You haven’t even said one word about it! Maybe we should look into a different contract…”

“No!” she yelped. “It’s… the perfect phone for me. I love that you spent… all this time customizing it for me…. It will do everything I need! I can’t wait to have it.”

“In that case, I would love to help you pay for this phone, little Tay-wicks. I just hope you don’t become too dependant on me!” I said with a smile, and gave my credit card to the sales clerk. He walked off to process the sale. RiRi gazed dumbly at the old Blackberry, reluctant to even pick it up. I started playing with her Yphone, looking through her text messages and photos right in front of her.

“I expect you to keep that phone on you at all times, in case I need anything,” I explained to her, without looking up from her phone. She nodded, staring at the Yphone in my hand.

“Yes, Madam.”

The sales clerk returned and I watched RiRi sign her name all over the contract. Everything was in her name, and she would be responsible for the monthly payments. She carried our bags, and we went to a nearby adult clothing store where we shopped for business attire. She quickly learned to go for short skirts in various colors (above mid-thigh in length), thin blouses, and push-up bras. I told her to surprise me with her underwear selection—we spent nearly $500 on lengerie alone!!

On our way out, we stopped by the mall jewelery store. RiRi was amazed when I spent $34,000 on a diamond stud shaped like a little heart, a piece of jewelery that was meant to be put into a nose piercing. I put it on my credit card, and we went to the jewelery kiosk. After some argument, RiRi agreed to have her nose pierced midway up her right nostril. I unfortunately had to persuade her to go along with it by having the shoes make her feel like she was standing on hot coals. Finally, though, a scowl on her face, the jewelery kiosk guy put the diamond nose piercing in. I asked for it to be made so that it could only be removed with special equipment, so it will be on her face at all times.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I first saw her with her diamond nose piercing. She looked like an incredibly rich, incredibly frivolous girl whom you could never take seriously. Even as she scowled the diamond just made her look like she was a rich bitch. And there is no mistaking the gem for a flawless diamond—it shimmers in almost every light. It calls attention to her face, and identifies her as a girly girl to the entire world. It was the perfect touch I wanted to make her my office girl!

Our time at the mall done, we had one more stop at the bank before we could return to my office for her on-the-job training. We sat down together with a banker, and negotiated a credit swap between River and myself. This caught RiRi by total surprise—I thought for sure she would fight back!

“So, Miss River Mercier, would you like me to go over the details once more with you, before you sign this contract?” the banker asked, indifferent to the entire situation.

“Yes, please,” RiRi responded, the shoes writhing around her feet. This was the most important part of the day—I needed her to be afraid of what the shoes could do to her if she said ‘no’ at this point.

“This is a standard credit takeover. By agreeing to this, you will take on the entirety of Miss Scarlett’s credit debt, and you become soley responsible for paying it off completely. I have already shown you her information, but I have been asked to verbally go over her account information,” he continued.

To the banker, this was probably some racket we were using to pay a negative tax rate this year. He didn’t seem suspicious. To be fair, I had specifically chosen this bank because my law firm saved it from getting prosecuted in the aftermath of the Great Recession. This was their return payment for all the assets we helped them save.

“Miss Scarlett has $400,000 unpaid on her house, at a 5.5% interest rate. She will keep the equity in the home, however, since this is only a credit takeover. She has $40,000 she owes on her new Mercedes, at a 5.5% interest rate. Miss Scarlett also has $70,000 in total consumer credit card debt, accrued over various years, at an interest rate of 12.8%.”

“In total, Miss Scarlett’s debts come out to $510,000. As part of the credit takeover, we are consolidating this debt into one account, from which the various creditors will collect their share. Since you are so young, and have so few assets,” the banker said, eyeing Tay’s diamond nose piercing, “we have decided your interest rate will be 24% compounded yearly. You must also waive your right to declare bankruptcy. If you don’t make satisfactory payments on this debt, we have the right to collect your trust fund, which amounts to $500,000.”

Tay looked like a deer caught in headlights. I had the shoes prick her feet to snap her out of it.

“I agree to all that,” RiRi stated, plainly.

“You must also sign up for a credit monitoring program,” the banker continued,

“which tracks all of your income, spending, and bank accounts to make sure you are not hiding money. In addition to taking your trust fund, we also reserve the right to garnish your wages, to re-negotiate the terms of the debt, or to compel you to sell your property.”

“Ok,” RiRi whispered.

“This will also affect your credit rating. You will be unable to get a credit card of your own, unable to apply for most loans, and even renting an apartment will be very difficult. Most banks will turn you down for an account. Miss Scarlett has graciously offered to open a joint savings account with you, so that you have a place to store money. Due to your credit risk, though, you can’t withdraw money except to pay for your debts. Miss Scarlett can withdraw money freely, but we encourage you not to go under the minimum balance of $1000. Part of this account is a shared credit card between you and Miss Scarlett, although we recommend you only use it for emergency purposes because it has a 30% interest rate, compounded daily. You alone will be responsible for payment on this card, to build your credit back up. If you understand all this, please agree and we will call a witness for the signature.”

River stared at the paper, her eyes terrified of the crushing debt. This was the moment of truth. I had the shoes vibrate like an erratic heartbeat up and down her feet.

“I agree.”

I sighed inwardly, and had the shoes caress her lovely soles. Her body relaxed as they called a witness. We presented forms of identification, and signed contracts dozens of time. When we were all finished, I gave the bank my various credit cards, and had them shred them up in front of us. Then they brought us our new credit card, which I had custom ordered. It had a picture of my smirking lips, and “Property of Madam Scarlett” after River’s name appeared on the card. I was thrilled—I completely owned my house and my car! And I had paid back all those trips to France and throughout Europe!

I grabbed one of those free suckers from the cup on the table. I put it in my mouth but immediately disliked the flavor—how did I grab sour cherry? Then I had an idea.

“Tay, open your mouth,”

Although she had just signed away her future, she still seemed like she didn’t want to open her mouth. I threatened her with a glare, and she reluctantly opened her mouth. I put the sucker into her mouth and told her to finish it, then grabbed a blueberry flavor to cleanse my pallet.

“How will I pay for the cell phone bill now?” RiRi asked, rattled, on our way out.

“Well Tay, I think we’re going to have to look into work study at your school!” I said, walking back to my paid-off Mercedes. Again, River opened the door for me, and shut it after I got inside.

Episode 3

Luz, you’re missing out. Picking apart the carcass of a wild beast that you know nothing about is the most exiting thing I could possibly think of. You made a griffin out of a beheaded pigeon, for merlin’s sake! 

Luz, listen to the trash lord, she has a point.

Witch drama indeed - I’m fascinated by this Draco Malfoy-esque character who seems to ooze… ;) …. meaningless platitudes. 

Willow packs a punch! I see circles aren’t the only way to do magic around here. I wonder if magical abilities can run awry just like in other magic systems. How does one stop their teens from constantly throwing magical tantrums over teen drama?

The EARS of course it’s the EARS. How often do you look at people’s ears? Would we ever REALLY notice if someone’s ears were pointed instead of rounded? These questions are important.

Magic AND demonics, huh? I suppose those two aren’t so separate after all. Are witches technically classified as a type of demon? Is there a sliding scale? They both seem to be capable of magic. 

Ah, hellow other character from the opening sequence! I feel we are about to be acquainted! :) 

Also…. Yphone?!!?! hah. 

Eda having a viscerally horrrified reaction to structured education is all at once relatable and hilarious. This is evoking so many feelings in me as a teacher. On the one hand… I understand. On the other hand…. You DID leave your student to just wander around by herself without teaching her anything. You brought this upon yourself.

Okay, she’s just as extra as the rest of them. She’ll fit riiight in. Once she chills out, presumably.

Someone who doesn’t watch owl house explain what you think is going on.

Wow, that took a turn. 

And look - I’ve been spoiled by screenshots on tumblr for a while now, so I know Amity and Luz get together (I think???) but I’m just… not sure if THIS is the best first impression you want to have on a future girlfriend.

I like this guy. He just got slammed into the ceiling of his school by a living vine and he’s only focusing on how damn Good this spell is. Priorities - student potential! That’s not bad. :)

I thought hugs were a human thing but no, Eda just doesn’t understand physical affection. Someone get my girl some therapy. 

Aww, baby’s first Wanted/Banned poster! Eda, you ARE teaching her things!

I SLEPT WELL M YPHONE DIED ON ME THOUGH SO ITA FUCKING CUNT BITCH BUT IM COPING HOW AT YOU

IM GOOOD My pjone os on 40% onesdto chanlrge ot. IM LIKE. SUPER FAR INTO CYTUS2 AND ICANT SToooP thinking about ivynessa imgonna.Kill Myself aftislly

[sepublic]

So, minor observation I picked up from one of the trailers, but it looks like Gus is reading a human magazine?

To be fair, the Demon Realm could easily have its own magazines and probably does. However, this magazine is not only advertising a ‘YPhone’ (keep in mind that the Demon Realm doesn’t understand TVs), but most importantly the kid on the cover has rounded ears. Seeing as how every human-looking person has pointed ears, this magazine is probably from the human world.

So, did Eda sell it to Gus? Did he get it from someone who DID get it from Eda? Perhaps his willingness to buy from Eda contributed to him being cool with her and Luz, even though both are technically wanted criminals. Alternatively, it’s the other way around and him being fine with Eda led to him buying the magazine. It’s a really small, inconsequential detail that probably won’t mean anything and may not even be brought up, but I think it’s worth noticing nevertheless. Especially since I’m pretty sure this screenshot is from “I Was a Teenage Abomination,” which is airing later this week.

[boneless-mika]

I think I would quit literally pass out from the pain if I were lying down

[fuck-customers]

Customer: "Hey can you unlock the crapple headphones for me?"

Me: "Sure, the lightning jack or the headphone jack?"

Customer: "The yphone."

Me: "So the lightning jack?"

Customer, irritated, pointing to the one with the headphone jack: "No, yphone."
