If you’re a game fanatic, it’s only natural to want your children to enjoy the pastime as much as you do. Now, you’ll be able to train their dexterity skills early, with a new range of gamer gear for kids, including mini chewable controllers.
To be extra safe, these replica Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation controllers are made from BPA-free silicon, so you won’t have to worry if one manages to find its way into your baby’s mouth.

The project, started by couple Seth and Mishelle Bruce, is currently being funded through a campaign on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
Branding itself as “the world’s first baby brand dedicated to gamers, by gamers,” the couple has created five different controller chew toys, including nostalgic models based on Nintendo 64 and Genesis consoles.

According to Kotaku, not only do the silicon controllers act as a chew toy, but they also feature poppable buttons for little ones to entertain themselves with. Some versions even come with analog sticks so your baby can learn to toggle!
“As a father with a new son, shopping for any relatable toy was nearly impossible; it was either a giraffe or a rainbow. As a gamer parent that grew up playing the classics and the currents, I wanted to give gamer parents and future gamer kids something they could truly appreciate,” said BabyGlitch co-founder Seth Bruce.
