Enhance Your Kids" DS Experience With A Character Stylus
A character stylus can be a fun gift for any child with a DS. Not only are they larger and easier for many children to use than the standard stylus, but they come in some cool character shapes that can help customize and immerse them in their gaming experience. Just remember that a character stylus is significantly more bulky than a standard stylus and won't fit into the stylus slot on the DS. Instead, you'll have to pack it along in a spacious DS case or in a separate tote.
Here Are Some of the Character Styli Available Now:
Best for 2-5 Year Olds:
The Sesame Street DS games by Warner Brothers come packaged with special Elmo or Cookie Monster styli. They are easier for small hands to grip than a normal DS stylus and can help pre-schoolers develop handwriting skills.
Best for 5-10 Year Olds:
The Littlest Pet Shop character styli by Performance Designed Products (PDP) are cute enough for kids of all ages to carry around. The stylus comes in character shapes of a bunny, porcupine and polar bear and each come with a matching wrist strap which makes it easier to hang on and not lose track of your stylus.
If your child is a Pokemon fan, PDP offers four character designs to enhance their gaming experience including Pikachu, Piplup, Turtwig and Chimchar. The Pokemon character styli also come with their own wrist strap making it easier for younger kids to hold onto them.
Disney recently launched a Mickey and Minnie DS wrap and stylus kit, which will surely bring smiles to fans of The Mouse.
They are also distributed through PDP.
The Fairies stylus should delight any Tinkerbell fan, shaped like a blade of grass with a ladybug on it.
For the rough-and-tumble child sports fan, perhaps the NERF stylus with its comfy squishy material and grip would be most ideal.
Best for 6+ Year Olds:
The Star Wars Light Up Lightsaber stylus by Power A will captivate and wow any Star Wars fan as it actually glows when you use it. This stylus is a bit more fragile than the other character styli above, and is best for careful or older children. There is a more durable Star Wars stylus without the light-up novelty available from Power A that may be better suited for younger or more aggressive gamers.
Fans of the movie Transformers can take their DS game play to the next level with a robotic-like Bumblebee or Megatron stylus.
