The Tamagotchi device became infamous as the must-have toy for kids in the 90s, but it could also serve an educational purpose for kids. The objective of the Tamagotchi device is for the player to raise an egg into an adult Tamagotchi character, requiring players to regularly feed and take care of the Tamagotchi characters overall well-being. The success of your Tamagotchi character is dependent on how responsible and attentive the owner can be.  This daily routine teaches children self-responsibility, empathy, selflessness, and qualities that are valued in well-rounded tweens and adults. Getting into the routine of caring for something/someone other than themselves gives them the right tools to potentially take on the task of being responsible or caring for younger siblings, pets and themselves in the future. The Tamagotchi device could be an ideal learning tool for children wanting pets or are looking to illustrate to parental figures how responsible they can be, while still having fun and interacting with your friends.
