It’s been a week — but we’re still very much in love with CES! In the last seven days, we’ve come across even more great products and we’re looking forward to sharing these with you. Gadgets are often about making life more fun and easy, so here’s a selection of toys and family home products.

Theme | GADGETS
Education during exercise

Whether Fisher-Price is actually trying to get aboard the healthy-kids-train is doubtful, but this Think and Learn Smart Cycle sure looks like fun. The bicycle connects to your TV or tablet via Bluetooth and its educational apps focus on math, science, spelling and social studies.

Mighty combo: kids and bricks

LEGO Boost has just joined the latest trend in toys: coding for kids. This is not a completely new direction for the company, as they already had a classroom version of the product: WeDo 2.0. Coding for kids is clearly popular, as we’ve already seen similar products hit the market: Cubetto,Ozobot Bit 2.0 and Dash & Dot.

Theme | HEALTH
Hands-free breast pump

“As a new mother, nobody tells you that you’ll spend hours of yours life on the sofa with a noisy suction monster. No, not your baby — your breast pump’ (CNET.com). Good thing, Willow has completely redesigned the breast pump, making it less noisy, cordless and fitting your nursing bra. It won’t come cheap though: 400 Euro.

Theme | HOME & LIVING
Home recycling made easy

Reduce the carbon footprint of your household with the Zera Food Recycler by Whirlpool. Throw all your organic waste in the bin and it will start turning your weekly portion of left-overs into garden fertilizer.

Add your own videos and maybe they will feature in the next TIS Weekly. Questions? Remarks? Ideas? hello@tis.tv is the address! From TIS with love, Simone de Bruin.
