i think bitcoin is much easier to understand then fiat
a toy for to help kids understand bitcoin would be a piggy bank with a bitcoin logo on it.
money in, money out
try explaining to a kid what happens when you deposit money in a bank....
bitcoin is probably closer to what people BELIEVE money is, then what fiat money actually is.

I think making coins satohi like image and make the game will make the millionares bitcoin is preferred and recognized, to remember that the previous games were also very popular, as casino games. We'll get that luxury and so much fun to play with your friends. and create virtual will also help children to remember and know of btc
Its a very good idea to introduce bitcoins to the Kids. But before that kids should need proper guidance.
They should be taught of the uses of bitcoins and where to use them and not to invest them in gambling etc.
It is the responsibility of the Such toys companies that they should create awareness among parents and kids before being actually creating this.
I wouldn't say it's the company's responsibility as much as it is the parents' responsibility. It's almost like attempting to blame graphic videos for the influence it has on your child because you as a parent accidentally left it out for your kid to see it, or you let them have a computer with free range internet access to look up content like that. They should be taught of the uses of bitcoins and where to use them and not to invest them in gambling etc.

I struggle to think of a (hands-on, physical) toy that would be cheap enough to be realistic, but somehow teach about bitcoin specifically. I think a better approach would be child-oriented software (Android, Windows, etc.) that teaches about cryptocurrency.
I think there is a lot of room for this kind of activity, for any creative programmers out there. I've been interested in Piggycoin and used it to pay my kids on occasion for the past year, but even Piggycoin with its explicit focus on children, has little to show so far in the way of child-centric aps and games. They have a decent website that helps introduce kids to crypto, but even there, a lot more could be done. Someone could create child-centric websites for bitcoin too, but I've never heard of one.
May I ask why you're paying your children? Do you make them work for you or something, or are you trying to say you give them an allowance?I think there is a lot of room for this kind of activity, for any creative programmers out there.

Apart from that, yeah. Bitcoin child oriented software would be nice. There could be little online games as well to connect the children with other children online to cross-spread information they've gathered. Sounds great.

Well, If children are taught about BitCoin from the start, Its likely for them to master it at the age when they become adults.
My thoughts exactly. The topic the OP is actually referring to is a topic that I made. Scroll a couple posts above and see the link I provided. It has photos of toys that are designed by adult appliances and actually work. It could help us but the fact is what kind if toys you want to bring to the bitcoins, I think that is the first thing you should consider.
It could help us but I think its difficult to make this happen.
Not necessarily. It was difficult to build playhouses modeled after actual homes but people did that too, so... It could help us but I think its difficult to make this happen.

Oh hi. Thanks for throwing shade at me. Going back to the topic you're actually referring to, I don't think there's anything wrong with toys if they have a purpose to teach children. Pointless Knick knack toys like furby or robo-pup is pointless and ridiculous. I'd never purchase my children video games unless they were educational in some way shape or form. If you are gonna talk about me, can you at least do it where I can see it...
thanks.

bitcoin toys could give good impact to kids interested to bitcoin of course will impact to they kids parents in before they not know about bitcoin. will see how it's goes bad impact or good impact for bitcoin.
Bitcoin toys? Funny idea. Not sure how clever this is, children shouldn't be focused only on material things and these days they mostly are from their early age.
Children love toys and genuinely appreciate them and have learned from them so I don't know why you feel that way. Don't get me wrong. I actually wasn't warming up to this idea too much but if it seems like most of the people in this thread are on board, I say we find a way to make it happen. Anyway to educate the masses of this cryptocurrency is fine. The biggest problem would be finding a company that is willing to mass produce these types of toys. You still need to sell them somehow to people, and kids usually want "cool" toys, or toys that their friends also have.
Bitcoin is not cool to have as a toy yet, as hardly anybody knows it and hardly any kid will have toys of it. This can really take off once bitcoin grows more popular, but until then, the market is probably too small.
The piggybank on kickstarter is really cool though. Smart parents can still buy it for their kids as it is not a toy but rather a way to get them saving some cash (in a potentially very lucerative way!).
yeah but what exactly would you ever consider to be a "cool" toy? That would honestly be based on problems and beliefs in what is actually a cool toy and not. We're not even really focusing too much on that because we can actually walk up to children and ask them on their opinions on what kind of toys they'd actually play with. From there, we find a way to incorporate that with an education purpose behind BTC. Bitcoin is not cool to have as a toy yet, as hardly anybody knows it and hardly any kid will have toys of it.

we can see toy market is quite high so if bitcoin can enter this market than it will not only increase the use of bitcoin but it will also promote about bitcoin to familes also even to those future guys.
How about a bitMONOPOLY? Bits instead of dollars, exchanges instead of banks. Quite a good way to spend family time with the kids don't you think?
This post is actually in reference to another post. It's really hard to take it serious for some reason. In theory it sounds rather meaningful but I don't really think it can be useful in any way. This person didn't actually suggest toys based on Bitcoin, but it actually made me go from their point to this one. Do you really think toys based on Bitcoin could be utilized to actually raise our children to be educated on the currency? Do you think they'd actually enjoy the toys? Do you think they can actually grasp what Bitcoin even is? I just feel like trying to teach small children anything huge and confusing is a bad idea because children naturally have undeveloped mindsets to not even be able to grasp what certain things mean. That's why you can't sue children, that's why children don't have jobs and that's why children can't drive.
Curious though, if you wanted to invent a Bitcoin toy, what would you make?
nice idea,but i think its will not effective for people who plays toys,like kids,we all now kids dont understand bitcoin,but if i were to create a toy for kid relating to Bitcoin,i would create bitccoin pillow or bitcoin dolls,they will start to interest and ask about that shape,and we just said to that kids,it was bitcoin,future currency Curious though, if you wanted to invent a Bitcoin toy, what would you make?

The kids in school are more likely to understand Bitcoin than most adults imho. Most adults don't even understand domain names, and that is virtual property.
I agree with this. More likely to find a younger person that knows about bitcoin than older.
This is an overall interesting concept to have Bitcoin toys so that children get used to playing with them as money. As children we all played with games with money so why not Bitcoin. There could be game apps for children as well that reward them in fake bitcoin, this would give them an opportunity to understand the math. The sooner you reach children the better, with anything.
The kids being born now will be using Bitcoin naturally, when they realize they are stuck without owning any money until they are 18 or 21 depending on some countries. They can't never reach financial freedom. A lot of kids nowaday make a lot of money off ad revenue with their content, and they will just get paid in BTC because it will be the quickest and cheapest way.
