    That’s such a cool idea! I don’t have kids but if I someday do I’ll probably steel your idea. I feel like the digital era makes it “to much” for kids, and having a limited, physical library was a better experience overall.

    That’s really cool - plus it gives them a chance to learn how NFC spoofing works when they get older.

    I did this at my house too. I’ve also got a card for turning off the the TV and the lights when the kids are done in that room.

    Does it resume from the last time they watched? Does it work with TV shows too and track which episode they are on?

      And I’m wondering if these could be adjusted to have the card be “inserted” and turn off when the card is removed?

      I have some nfc tags sitting around but they are much thicker. Maybe I can 3d print something those tags can click into and make like a mini vhs player for them

        For audiobook that has been done: https://us.tonies.com/ The moment you lift the figure it stops playing and will resume, when you put it back. Nice concept for little kids and it went really well here in Germany. You will find a Toni box in most middle/upper class households. They are magnetic.
