What if children could simply say what’s on their minds and watch their imagination turn into something they can actually see, hold and colour? Imagine dreaming up a magical unicorn, a superhero, a dinosaur adventure or even an entire fantasy world, then bringing it to life with just a few spoken words. Sounds pretty magical, doesn’t it?
That’s exactly what myFirst is introducing to Malaysian families with its latest innovation, the myFirst Insta magiBox, a voice-powered AI creative printer designed to make exploring artificial intelligence fun, accessible and creative for children.
Making its Malaysian debut on 6 November 2026 at the myFirst Brandstore in Sunway Pyramid, Insta magiBox is part of myFirst’s latest showcase under the theme “The Magic Begins”, celebrating the little moments of childhood discovery, curiosity, creativity and growing independence.
And with the year-end festive season just around the corner, there are plenty of exciting gadgets to explore for families looking for something a little different for their children’s Christmas gifts!
myFirst Insta magiBox: Turning Little Imaginations into Big Creations
Let’s start with the star of the showcase!
Children often have the most wonderful imaginations. They can dream up fascinating characters, magical places and exciting adventures, even when they haven’t quite developed the writing or drawing skills to express everything they picture in their minds.
The myFirst Insta magiBox aims to bridge that gap between imagination and creation.
Instead of typing prompts, children can simply speak their ideas into the device. Its Voice-to-Image feature transforms their spoken descriptions into illustrations using artificial intelligence, while Voice-to-Story takes things a step further by turning their ideas into a connected four-scene illustrated story.
So, whether it’s an adorable cartoon character, an anime-inspired creation or a story about an adventurous little astronaut exploring outer space, children can experiment with their ideas and see how AI brings them to life.
What’s particularly interesting is that the experience doesn’t stop at the screen.
The Insta magiBox comes with ink-free thermal printing, allowing children to print their creations in black and white. They can then colour, decorate, personalise and display their artwork or even share their little masterpieces with family and friends.
It features a 2.8-inch screen and six different art styles:
- Anime Drawing
- Cartoon Drawing
- Line Art
- Ink Splash
- Pencil Art
- Doodle
I like how the concept combines technology with traditional hands-on activities. Rather than simply looking at something on a screen, children get to participate in the creative process, adding their own colours, details and personal touches.
It’s also a simple introduction to understanding how AI responds to ideas expressed through words, with children providing the imagination and technology helping to bring those ideas into a visual form.
Available in Aqua Blue and Blossom Pink, the myFirst Insta magiBox is priced at RM329.
More Exciting myFirst Gadgets for Little Explorers
Beyond Insta magiBox, the Malaysian showcase also features several other myFirst products designed around children’s everyday needs, from staying connected with family to developing healthy habits and exploring their creativity.
ViewTalkie: A Walkie-Talkie with a Video Twist
Remember the fun of using walkie-talkies as children? ViewTalkie gives this classic childhood gadget a modern twist!
Designed for children, family members and friends, ViewTalkie combines voice and video communication through a two-inch screen. Kids can show their drawings, share something interesting they’ve discovered or simply exchange funny expressions while playing together.
One of its interesting features is that the devices connect automatically through a direct device-to-device connection, without requiring an internet connection.
It also comes with seven playful face stickers and three voice effects: Kid, Alien and Robot, making conversations even more entertaining.
For communication range, ViewTalkie supports voice connections of up to 500 metres and video connections of up to 400 metres in open areas. Indoors, the stated ranges are up to 200 metres for voice and 150 metres for video, depending on the surroundings and obstructions.
Each bundle includes two ViewTalkies, so there’s someone to share the fun with!
CareSip: A Smart Water Bottle with Fingerprint Protection
Getting children to drink enough water throughout the day can sometimes be a challenge for parents. CareSip introduces a clever approach by combining a children’s water bottle with fingerprint-controlled access and drinking habit monitoring.
Its fingerprint-controlled lock secures the entire lid and allows access to approved users. Parents can register up to 20 fingerprints, so children can conveniently open their bottles with a touch.
Another interesting feature is its ability to record every time the lid is opened. Through the myFirst Circle app, parents can review these records and gain a better understanding of their children’s drinking routines throughout the day.
CareSip also comes with temperature protection to help restrict access when drinks are too hot. A colour indicator on the lid and temperature information through the app provide additional awareness for parents.
With battery life of up to six weeks on a full charge and USB-C charging taking approximately 1.5 hours, CareSip is designed to fit conveniently into everyday routines.
Fone M2: A Child’s First Connected Smartwatch
For parents considering a first smartwatch for their children, the myFirst Fone M2 offers a simpler introduction to connected technology.
This 4G smartwatch features a 1.32-inch AMOLED display and a two-megapixel front camera, supporting voice and video calls through mobile data or Wi-Fi.
It also combines GPS, Wi-Fi, LBS and AGPS positioning for location tracking, giving parents another way to stay connected with their children.
Other features include SOS, Class Mode to help manage distractions during lessons, a music player and a pedometer.
Watch F1: Encouraging Little Ones to Stay Active
For children who enjoy being active, the myFirst Watch F1 focuses on everyday movement and wellbeing.
The smartwatch tracks activity, heart rate and sleep, while parents can view health and sleep trends through the accompanying app.
Weighing just 39g with its strap, it features a 1.85-inch touchscreen, more than 100 sports modes and 10 built-in games.
Children can also personalise their experience with animated and customisable watch faces. With IP68 water resistance and battery life of up to five days under typical use, it’s designed for everyday wear.
Sketch Play 4: A Little Drawing Companion to Bring Along
Sometimes the simplest creative activities are still the most enjoyable!
The myFirst Sketch Play 4 is a four-inch colour LCD sketch board that gives children a reusable space for drawing, doodling and writing little notes.
Its ink-free surface means there’s no need for paper or pens, while the one-touch erase function allows children to clear the screen and start creating all over again.
At just 61g and 8mm thick, it’s lightweight and portable. It also comes with an attached stylus and a clip-on lanyard that can be fastened to a school bag or backpack.
Available in Space Purple, Ocean Blue, Wicked Pink and Sunny Orange, Sketch Play 4 also comes with a one-year warranty offering one-to-one replacement, subject to applicable warranty terms.
Camera Play Plus: A Digital World Made for Kids
For little ones who love taking pictures and exploring digital activities, the myFirst Camera Play Plus offers a child-friendly digital experience.
Built around an ad-free, enclosed environment, it allows children to enjoy photography, video recording, music, stories, drawing and games without opening access to the wider internet.
It features a 3.97-inch touchscreen and dual cameras, with photo frames and emojis to personalise their pictures.
There are also 10 children’s songs, 10 bedtime stories and other built-in activities to keep little ones entertained.
Parents can set usage time limits too, helping families establish healthier everyday device habits.
The Magic Begins: Technology Meets Everyday Childhood Moments
What I find interesting about myFirst’s latest range is the idea behind its “The Magic Begins” theme.
It’s not just about introducing children to more gadgets, but about looking at the little everyday moments that make childhood special.
It could be discovering something new and wanting to explore further, having a wonderful idea but not yet knowing how to bring it to life, or gradually learning to do more things independently.
From creating stories with Insta magiBox to communicating through ViewTalkie, developing drinking habits with CareSip or exploring creativity with Sketch Play 4, each product offers a different way to support these experiences.
According to G-Jay Yong, founder and CEO of myFirst, children are growing up in a world where AI will increasingly become part of everyday life. The aim is to give families a simple and creative way to explore this technology together, starting with children’s curiosity and continuing through hands-on play.
I particularly like the approach of allowing children to remain the storytellers and creators, with technology helping them express ideas that might otherwise be difficult to capture through writing or drawing alone.
