Customer Reviews

Fun for older kids, NOT for 3 year-olds!
The age recommendation for this toy is 3+, but it is more suited to children 5+. I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my (almost) three year-old son, and am disappointed by the lack of age-appropriate games and activities on it (most of which require counting above ten, spelling, good fine motor skills, and basic computer skills). That said, it IS a fun toy for older kids and adults to play with, and has held up well in the week that we've been playing with it!

6 1/2 yr old twin girls having a BLAST with this!!
My 6 1/2 yr old twin girls received this for Christmas this year & it's been a favorite since! They love the interaction they have with each other and I foresee lots of hours of fun with it!

Great Entertainment!
I bought this for my son when he turned 4, to use with his 6-year-old sister. It was pretty much an instant hit -- they both quickly learned how to send the e-cards to each other, and the drawings that each made on the little screen.

His sister is now 7, and he's nearly 5, and they still play with it. We take it on road trips in the car, it's perfect for them. Granted, there was a bit of time to learn how to play the games -- he was resistant to that at first, but eventually picked most of them up. I do agree that this is better suited to ages 4-5 on up, versus the recommended age of 3. It would be wasted as a birthday gift for a 2-year-old turning 3, for example. They don't yet have the fine motor skills or letter/number abilities for the games.

This toy is also quite resilient & durable, and the little eraser for the drawings looks fragile, but has held up to many, many drawings & erasings. All in all, a fun electronic toy for a good price, that has held up in quality and interest level for my 2 easily-bored kids.
