The best tech toys for kids

Kids are spoiled for tech these days. Phones, tablets and game consoles are all things they’ve grown up with, making traditional toys seem somewhat staid. To compete, toy makers have been integrating more and more tech into their products over the pa...

Baby Yoda Desktop Light Is Adorably Bright

The Mandalorian returns this week, so there’s no better time to show your appreciation for the popular Star Wars series. And what better way to celebrate your love for the show that basically made Disney+ than to bring Baby Yoda into your home or office? I figure this light-up version of The Child should do quite nicely.

While it doesn’t come with a floating bassinet, this officially-licensed Baby Yoda Desktop Light is simply perfect all on his own. He’ll look great sitting on your desk or bookshelf, and will bring a bit of the Light Side into your life on days when you’re feeling like giving in to the Dark Side of the Force. Rather than running on Midichlorians (yeah, I said it), this cute, but powerful being runs on a couple of AAA batteries, so you don’t need to worry about plugging him in.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any limbs so he can’t do the Magic Hand thing. You can pick up your own Baby Yoda light over at Firebox for just $27.

Mattel’s Baby Yoda toy sports a remote control that lets it wiggle its ears and waddle around the house!

With the Season 2 of The Mandalorian hot on its heels, Mattel and Disney have launched perhaps the greatest toy ever made… a Remote-Controlled Animatronic Baby Yoda that wiggles its ears, struts around like a baby penguin, and reaches out for objects with its adorable baby hands, as if it’s summoning the force!

The Star Wars: The Mandalorian the Child “Real Moves Plush” (I wonder how Yoda would say that name) stands at less than a foot tall, and looks almost like the real deal. The Baby Yoda Plush comes with perfectly tinted translucent skin that’s almost see-through around the ears, and large glossy eyes that can look directly at your soul. The plush comes clad in its khaki robes, along with an optional Mythosaur pendant that you can make it wear (just like the one Din Djarin gifted him at the end of the first season). While the Child possesses its own mystic mind-control powers, it is, in fact, operated by a tracking fob-shaped controller that resembles the one the bounty hunters in the series use to locate their targets. The controller allows you to make Baby Yoda look left and right, up and down, and occasionally wiggle its ears with a level of realism that feels uncanny for a $60 toy. The remote controller also allows the little green alien to waddle around on its two feet, and occasionally reach for objects with its adorably tiny 3-fingered hands!

Season 1 of The Mandalorian saw Disney struggling to develop Baby Yoda merchandise to keep up with the heavy demand once the audience fell in love with the character. It seems like they’re not making that mistake again with the second season, partnering with Mattel to release this plush just a few days short of the Season 2 premiere on Friday. You can grab your own remote-controlled animatronic Yoda at the shopDisney webstore, or even at any of Disney’s parks. Beware though, with its adorably good looks and that $60 price tag, it may just magically disappear off the shelves.

This Stand Turns Your Amazon Echo Dot into Baby Yoda

It’s hard not to love Baby Yoda aka The Child from The Mandalorian. How can you not be gaga about this adorable and precocious little dude that also possesses the power of the Force? Just one look at those big eyes staring up at you, and your heart will melt.

If you love all things Baby Yoda, and happen to also have an Amazon Echo Dot, you’re in luck, because now you can turn your voice assistant into The Child.

This officially-licensed stand from OtterBox adds those endearing big green ears to your 3rd-generation Echo Dot, transforming the puck-shaped Alexa-enabled device into the cutest bounty in the galaxy far, far away. The stand is made out of sturdy plastic and has a non-slip base with cutouts to ensure optimal sound.

The Child Echo Dot stand is just $24.95 over on Amazon – though you’ll need to pick up an Echo Dot if you don’t already have one. I’m just not sure how I feel about Baby Yoda speaking in Alexa’s voice instead of making cute baby noises.

Baby Yoda Gets a Chia Pet Space Stroller

Who doesn’t love Baby Yoda? He’s adorable, inquisitive, and a little badass. We also don’t know anything about where he came from or why he has his abilities, which makes him a bit mysterious. Eventually, I’m sure these things will be revealed, and hopefully he’ll continue to be as cute as the day we first laid eyes on him. But even if he does eventually grow up to look like Original Yoda, you can keep his youthful spirit alive right on your desktop with The Child Chia Pet.

It looks just like the Baby Yoda we all know and love, except this little guy is terracotta orange instead of green. Once your plants have sprouted, The Child will be nestled snug as a bug in a rug beneath a living green blanket.

The set includes the Baby Yoda planter, along with enough Chia seeds for three plantings, which will reach their potential in a week or two. Entertainment Earth is taking pre-orders for The Child Chia Pet for $19.99, with orders starting to ship this July. Here, this is the way.
