The Toddler Arcade

<p>The adage is true: content is king. But it&rsquo;s especially true when you&rsquo;re on a 15+ hour flight with a four year old. There, content isn&rsquo;t just king, it&rsquo;s queen, prince, princess, hand of the king, jester, and everyone else.</p> <p>All of that is to say that I recently downloaded the first videogames for my child to try to play on our trip. Nothing too fancy, some simple games on an iPad that seemed age appropriate. Think: less&nbsp;<em>Call of Duty</em>, more&nbsp;<em>Peppa Pig</em>.</p> <p>Anyway, she loved them. I mean, who wouldn&rsquo;t? They&rsquo;re like mini movies or shows but you can interact with them by touching them. When I was four years old, we played with&nbsp;<a href="https://rtt80s.com/2014/07/01/shrinky-dinks/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">those weird plastic things that morphed</a>&nbsp;when parents put in the oven. Oven toys! Great fun. Times change.</p> <p>Anyway, it&rsquo;s awesome being a kid in 2023. It&rsquo;s decidedly less awesome being a parent as I quickly found out because you&rsquo;re constantly being upsold on content in said games. Call me naive, but I assumed that games meant for toddlers wouldn&rsquo;t try to nickel and dime their way into your hearts. I was wrong. I was very, very wrong.</p> <p><a href="https://500ish.com/the-toddler-arcade-85aabe9b8cd0"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
