VTech Light-Up Learning Bug

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning
from: VTech


This is a great toy for less than £8, it has quite a lot of functions and is not as annoying as some of the leapfrog toys around. The fact it has wheels and can be pulled along adds an extra dimension of play and i like that one its operational modes is music only; after a while you just get sick of hearing "three caterpillars" so this is a good function.

VTech V.Smile TV Learning System

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning
from: VTech


We bought this for my daughter when she was 5 and she loved using it, we went on to buy several other games (Ariel's Undersea Adventures, Cinderella and Scoobie Doo) all have been very entertaining and I would say they have helped with her numeracy and literacy in a very positive but undemanding way. HOWEVER!!! The first console died (one month before the warranty ran out, but we'd lost the receipt!) and the replacement that we then purchased has now also died with the same symptoms - you tried to turn it on and although on occassions it might have made an effort, more often than not it did not, resulting in an upset child. The second one finally died a few weeks ago (again while still under warranty) so maybe third time lucky? They are now ... Read More:

LeapFrog Finding Nemo - Leapster Software

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning
from: LeapFrog


We think the Leapster is a fantastic toy and our 5 year-old little boy has clearly gained a lot from his, which he has been using since the age of three. It's particularly great to have on hand for long plane and car journeys. Our only disappointment is that this game FINDING NEMO and also TALKING WORDS FACTORY both have an American narration, despite the fact that they were purchased here in the UK. LEARNING WITH LEAP, the game that came with the unit, has a British voice so clearly there are versions out there with domestic pronunciation. It's a shame they don't stipulate on the box.

LeapFrog Winnie the Pooh - Lots & Lots of Honey Pots - LeapPad Interactive Book

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning
from: LeapFrog


I thought my 3 1/2 yr old daughter would love this book as she loves Winnie the Pooh, but so far, she has been more interested in the sample books that came with the LeapPad Plus, than in this one (or in the Thomas one I bought her). Unlike a previous reviewers daughter, she really likes the educational stuff (mazes, puzzles, rhyming and spelling, etc.) and finds the games in Honeypots too boring. Maybe she'll change her mind later. She loves her LeapPad, so it's just a matter of finding the right books to capture her imagination. Too bad the books are so expensive, as they seem to be hit or miss according to individual tastes.
