When my oldest was younger he loved all things science. I really thought he was going to grow up to be a scientist, however his focus has shifted a bit. It wasn’t always easy to find fun toys that suited his likes/wants back then. I really wish they would have had something like VERVE2 back then.

If you’re shopping for a future scientist or engineer this holiday season, then I have the perfect gift idea for you – an interactive technology toy called VERVE 2. VERVE 2 is one of the sponsors of this year’s Holiday Gift Guide, and today we’re giving away TWO of them! You can read more about this awesome toy at Mommy Runs It.

About VERVE 2

Unlike other interactive technology toys, VERVE 2 requires no programming or electronics knowledge to set up and gives users the ability to control a computer or the Internet with eight different sensors to do things such as play favorite games or applications, easily send texts and emails, or connect directly to websites. Ways to use VERVE 2 could include: turning bananas, apples, or any other fruit into a musical instrument; making a gigantic video game controller that you step on to play; playing Angry Birds with an actual slingshot; playing Guitar Hero with a 2 x 4; and making a burglar alarm that sends the user a text when their parents enter their room! If you can imagine it, you can make it!

The VERVE 2 Starter Kit works right out of the box and comes with:

• VERVE hub
• VERVE Sensors: pushbutton, light, turn, touch with 2 alligator clips, motion, magnet, temperature, and sound
• 8 connection cables
• Mini-USB cable
• 4 extension cables
• Flash drive with software, users guide, and 2 starter game apps
• Quickstart guide
