Review: Planet 316

 
If you want an amazing present for your godchild or grandchild for Christmas or Easter, I have the product for you. This is seriously one of the coolest things I have ever seen, and I want to start by saying I am reviewing the Planet 316 Story Bible and the companion Planet 316 Story Bible App from Planet 316 and WorthyKids/Idealsthis with every single thumb I have shooting up in the air!!

 

I want to start by saying I tried to get a video of my kiddos watching this video. I simply could not capture its full essence with any of my video taking skills. So I did some googling and found that Planet 316 had posted a video that realllllly showed how amazing this app and Bible are.

(A quick note: when they lay the pages down, it looks like a thin Bible. This is not a thin Bible. It is a thick book, almost as big as a real Bible. I think they did that just to make it easy to show.)

So how does this work? Basically, you buy the Bible. Then you download the app onto your iPhone or Android. After that, your kids read the Bible and hold the device and watch the Bible stories come to life. It is really that simple.

And that AMAZING.

All of my kids loved this product. I find it is really hard to get kids to verbalize why they love something, but I tried to have Sidge share what he liked. 

You hear him mention the "sounds." There are many pages where you can hear characters or things moving and saying things. It's so cool! It features more than 100 favorite Bible stories from both the Old and New Testaments told in child-friendly language. The purchase of the Bible includes the FREE downloadable app featuring augmented reality. The App, as I mentioned above, allows characters and objects to spring up in 3D and include audio  and and humorous illustrations that ads fun and and context to the stories.

This product is great for kids of all ages. However, my youngest, Hannah, who is 4, was a little too young to manage the hand-eye requirements by herself. So I would put the ages of this product right around 5 and up. Hannah could do it, but I really think this is a good choice for school-aged children.

As always, if you have a question about this product, please let me know. Feel free to email or message me personally.

Oh and did I mention it is under $15?!
