Gizmos and gadgets for students from kindergarten to college

Preschoolers to post-grads are gearing up for the school season, and no matter what age a student is, there are gadgets, gizmos, electronics and tech products to help ease the way. From a toy that teaches young learners the basics of coding to a charging station that keeps numerous devices ready to use, these items can make kindergarten to college easier and more fun.

LG GizmoGadget

WHY: If a youngster is old enough for school but too young for a cellphone, find peace of mind keeping in contact with this interactive waterproof wristwatch-phone that has a 1.3-inch touch screen and allows young ones to call up to 10 parent-approved contacts. GizmoGadget sends and receives text messages to or from designated caregivers and can be tracked on a caregiver's phone through its app and the device's GPS locator. There's also a compass, stopwatch, timer and activity tracker. Available in red or blue, only through Verizon.

BUY: $149.99 (with a two-year contract); verizonwireless.com
