Apps don't have to be front and center in the toy experience. Sometimes they're useful in keeping a toy up to date, as with Oregon Scientific's SmartGlobe Infinity. The globe itself is static, but the Smart Pen kids use to tap and learn about countries and major cities is not. The pen itself comes equipped with Bluetooth so parents can update the information on it via an iOS or Android app.

"There is a theme that I'm really excited about right now. It's kind of a hybrid theme that takes toys and brings them into the future, so you can interact with your smart devices, your televisions. There is one in particular that I really love from Oregon Scientific called the SmartGlobe. And it, actually, teaches kids with a Bluetooth enabled stylist the different locations around the globe, the dollars, the cents, the euros, the animals, all sorts of different facts. And it upgrades as the content upgrade, like, if there is a new president, for instance, you learn those things as well. So I love that. I love the connectivity and how it becomes current every time you download new content for it."
