2 of 5 Not as good as Expected Friday, December 05, 2008
Karen from Torrington, CT.  

I am not sure if I want to keep this product because I saw one at a store and it's the same thing and it's in better condition. So I am not sure what to do. The one that you have sent me looks used and all beat up. Sincerely, karen

3 of 5 MY SON'S SLP RECOMMENDED IT Friday, December 05, 2008
KAREY from IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO  
First thing, the pencil is not secured with a long enough string, i had to attach a longer one. I got this for my 9yr. Old son that may have dyslexia, after confering with his slp. She thought it might help him, with writing his letters correctly. When i opened the package i thought oh no it looks to young for him so i ordered the 81 piece magnetic set also. He is playing with the pencil box and seems like he enjoys it. My 2 younger daughters (ages 7 and 41/2) also love it. I hope it lasts a long time.

karey from idaho falls idaho   
I have seen the ones similar to this in local stores and I am glad I purchased this instead. The ones in the store are so big and bulky, this fits on my child's lap very well. It is small enough for them to carry.

4 of 5 Daughter (4) loves it Friday, December 05, 2008
Kanini from Dallas/Ft Worth  
The only downside is the string for the pen is too short which makes it difficult to keep up with it. Also, you can't really turn the sound off. I wish it had headphones!

4 of 5 My 5 year -old grandson loves it. Friday, December 05, 2008
Dianne from Colorado  
My grandson is in kindergarten and is behind with letters and handwriting. He hasn't taken to other things, like Leapster. He hasn't stopped playing with this for 3 days and has to be forced to put it down to get dressed. It is at his level. He knows half the alpabet. One thing he likes is that it will say a short word like cat, which will then show up on the writing area with the middle letter missing, to be filled in. Great toy.

3 of 5 Not what I expected Friday, December 05, 2008
Dashia from Greenville  
This item is not what I thought it would be. For the cost, I thought it was going to be more high tech. There are other products that are similar. My 4-year old son has played with this, but I'm not sure how long it will keep his interest.

3 of 5 Dosn't keep my 6 year olds interest Friday, December 05, 2008
Laurie from Marengo, IL (40 miles west of Chicago)  
My 6 year old is in kindergarten, he's not much into homework. He views this as homework, and dosn't use it much. My 4 yr old on the other hand loves it, but only because it makes noise.

3 of 5 great concept Friday, December 05, 2008
linda from cheektowaga, ny   
this game has a lot to offer, however, my 4-year-old son is just not that interested in wanting to learn the letters and numbers. the pen string is very, very short. i had to add length to it in order for it to work properly. i would say it is overpriced for what it does. hopefully he will like it when he gets a little older.

4 of 5 One of the best teaching items I have seen! Friday, December 05, 2008
Elaine from Texas  
This product is great for ages 3 to 6. It is easy to carry, compact, and easy for the kids to learn how to play. My 4 yr old grandson is just now learning his letters. He likes the way it shows him how to draw them. This is also a great learning toy for the car. Fits perfect in their lap. Great buy!!!! Also this website had the lowest price I could find online with the lowest shipping.

4 of 5 My 3yr old absolutely loves this game!! Friday, December 05, 2008
Marsha from Ocala, FL  
This product is good because it teaches the letters, words, the alphabet & so much more!! It even teaches them how to draw! My 3yr old loves it. It keeps her occupied when I'm busy doing other things. Only thing is, the string is no longer attached to the pen. But that's even better because she can hold the pen however she wants! I recommend this for 2+yrs.

Easy to use however, my grandson is still just a little young for it, but he enjoys using it as he thinks it is his computer. The stylus connection needs to be improved.

4 of 5 Great 'Learning To Write' Toy Friday, December 05, 2008
Viv from N.Y.  
My twins in Pre-School. This is a great toy and they love playing with it. Best thing about it is- it shows the kids HOW to actually write the numbers and letters in steps that they practice on the doodle pad. Worst thing about it is- the pen is not attached and easily get lost. Solved this by attaching pen to toy's handle with length of ribbon. Would recommend this one to any parent who wants to give their kids a bit of a head-start to kindergarten. Price is right for what it does.

Anne from New York City  
I had expected a tracing component, which would have helped in small motor development. It would aslo have made the item more of an independant activity rather than requiring a lot of parental help.

4 of 5 My four-year old son loves it!!!!!!!! Friday, December 05, 2008
angela from Brooklyn, New York  
his product is excellent for pre-schoolers and older children. There is nothing bad that you can say about this toy , actually, its one of the best investments I've made so far into his educational background. Keeps him busy for a while and helps him to spell, remember words, write letters and numbers. I've never seen him so excited about a learning toy as he does this one. He even cracks up laughing by the noise it makes when you get the answer wrong. Go figure. If you are into giving your child a headstart in school, this product is definitely perfect.!!!

4 of 5 Both of my preschoolers LOVE this Friday, December 05, 2008
Kammi from Newport Beach, CA  
Both my 4 year-old and his 2 1/2 year-old brother love this toy. They take turns using it, though it's the 4 year old that can use it to its fullest and practice writing letters. The only thing it lacks is the ability to tell the child whether they've written the letter correctly or not. But, that's where parents come in, I guess!
