Smart technologies have been adapted to several systems for the purpose of integrating technological innovations.
These technologies have more capabilities to meet humans’ needs than previous traditional ones. For instance,
presenting multimedia content and providing instant feedback can be effectively achieved with these smart
technologies. Toys have also gained digital characteristic with these smart technologies, such as computers, software,
and digital materials. These newly developed toys can be called smart toys. The advantage offered by these smart
toys is that they provide a rich play environment in terms of multimedia use and interactive usability by integrating
the digital medium with traditional toys. As Lampe and Hinske (2007) stated, enriching traditional toys by adding
multimedia content can increase the quality of fantasy play and provide a more creative environment for children.
Smart toys can provide several alternatives for children, such as supporting collaborative play, active reaction, and
imaginative play.
