If your child is an Internet addict and you desperately want him to get hooked to playgrounds for some real play, a step towards it can be the ‘Smartground’. Designed by Tamer Nakisci’s ‘Smartground’ is a playground connected to the internet, where a child is exposed to an online playing field where they have to fight with kids across the globe.

They have to save themselves and earn brownie points for them.
The moment your child starts the game, the entire network gets notified as gadgets, keychains, pendants, of their friends and opponents get light up, giving your kid a challenge to get into the game.

Kids get to play with different 3-D pieces available at each Smartground site together with touch-sensitive LEDs.

Like father like son! And when father is a car curator, the son has to be a sucker for coupes. We are talking about soccer star David Beckham and his eldest son Brooklyn.

While, Papa Becks who is crazy about cars drives a Porsche, son is no behind when he vrooms with élan in his latest toy car, which is none other than the refined version of the ultra-small Porsche sports car. But on a serious note, is it safe to let a kid drive a diesel powered car at the age of 9? Would you allow your lttle one to do so?

The toy car is beautifully handcrafted and runs on a diesel engine. The single seater tiny Porche bears a price tag of £50,000, which makes approx. $72,610.
