VTech KidiDog

There are plenty of gadgets and gizmos aimed at children, but this electronic puppy from VTech claims to be educational as well as fun.

Youngsters will love its digital, pixelated face, interacting with KidiDog by asking it to dance, tell jokes and ‘eat food’. In return, the cybermutt will teach youngsters how to count to 10 and recite the alphabet, identify different foods and enhance their social skills.

It may or may not be able to alert you to someone trapped in a ravine or down the old mineshaft.

Ages: Five years and older.
Other features: Digital clock with alarm function.
Price: £29.99 (vtechuk.com).
