1 out of 5 stars This toy could be great   November 24, 2008

This toy has a really great idea. The problem is that it always says that they did a great job, even if they did not draw the letter or shape correctly. If the toy would tell them to try again when they got it wrong, then I would give it 4 stars.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent toy, especially for kids with learning disability   October 18, 2008

We received this as a gift for my son's 5th birthday. My son has Autism, and until we got this toy he had no interest in writing letters. Now, he turns it on and comes to get me to help him write. He still isn't doing it independently, but with my hand guiding him, he's getting better at writing. Most importantly, he's excited about writing now. I've begun having him use the toy to give him the instruction, but write the letter on paper instead of the toy's pad. This will help him transition to writing in school.

My daughter just loves this toy. She is 3 and it is something that will grow with her, it allows her to learn her letters, draw shapes and also doodle - it makes learning really fun and we both really enjoy it together, it's great in the car on trips too! Great buy for the money and I would give this as a gift also because it's really fun and for some reason kids just love the big yellow pencil character on it very cute!


4 out of 5 stars Our opinion   January 12, 2008

We ordered this toy after reading some of the reviews. We were looking forward to having our son start using this toy to help him improve his writing skills. We were disappointed to find out that the writing recognition technology (even though it works great) does not recognize the correct letters written. For example, we were practicing the letter G. We wanted to see what happened if we entered a wrong letter. After entering an "A" instead of "G" and pressing the check mark, the toy claimed a correct response. This is very misleading for young writers. Other things we did not like about the toy were its tiny screen and the fact that it only teaches upper case letters. We did like the fat grip pen and the spoken and visual directions. Over all the toy is fun and education, but we would like to see Vtech fix or improve these issues.

Thanks
