Handheld Applications for Kids

In order to design a digital application for children to use, I have looked into current portable games that are available. "Tamagotchi" are an example of a portable device and game that children use. They can care for a creature, feed it and play games for it. Neglect harms the creature. These can be used as precedents for my application design. In order for children to be able to use the application and the application to record their energy consumption, it is relative that it is portable. Children interact well with portable games and will enjoy having the application always at hand. I also like the way the digital devices can be attached to other things, for example key chains and lanyards. This is a feature that I could look into.
