I read a couple of reviews and thought what a wonderful thing to get for my 3 and 5 yr old granddaughters. I received these and was impressed by the fact that they actually looked like real smartphones. I thought my girls were going to think these were the best thing since sliced bread. WRONG! The 5 yr old turned it on, took one look at the black and white graphics and gave it back to me. The 3 yr old actually tried to play with it. After about 5 min. she got tired of it and asked for her Nintendo DS. Whoever got the idea that a kid would actually like the black and white display obviously didn’t do much research with the kids who would actually use these, especially kids that had advanced toys such as the Nintendo DS with it’s beautiful interface/display. Oh, COLOR display I should say. What the heck is this black and white display? I returned these and got my $ back and bought the kids 2 new Nintendo games. They were thrilled.

It’s ok not great but ok. My 2 year old could careless about it. Wish I’d just bought her, her own Leapster.

Purchased this for our barely three year old grandson. It was too difficult for him to play with yet.

For the price, it’s not a bad investment. It’s sturdy, the screen is large enough to make out what’s going on, the graphics are decent. For my 3 year old, this was not the attention holder I had hoped for, even for short periods. She likes it well enough though, and seems to have more fun with it when I play it with her. So I keep it put up most of the time, and play it with her about once a week. It keeps the toy kind of fresh to her and give us interactive time while she also learns.

My son received this as a gift for Christmas. Now, 2 moths later he’s not even 2 yo and could easily recognize all the letters. He loves this toy and did not get bored of it.
