VTech Dora the Explorer TV Phone

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: V-Tech


We received this as a gift for my daughter when she turned 3. It turned out that my 8 year old boy loves this toy just as much. The connection is easy and it took us less than 5 minutes to take out the toy, put in batteries and connect to our TV and started to play. The games are very educational with teaching very basics like colors, numbers, memory, counting, hearing, etc. The best part of it is that this can be a play-alone unit that doesn't need to be connected to TV, so kids can bring along in the car for road trips or play without a TV and still have lots of fun without TV. VTech has done a great job again, we would highly recommend it and will continue to buy more toys made by this company.

Vtech - Explore & Learn Helicopter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: V Tech

July 01, 2007
My 15 month old really enjoys this toy. The only thing to be careful about is the cord...when she was younger it would occasionaly wrap around her so we only let her play with it when we were in the room. She learned quickly to put the balls through the helicopter blades and enjoys the different sounds and has fun pressing the buttons.

LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Two Princess Tales

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: LeapFrog


I ordered several of these "first" books because they had the characters and simplicity that a four-year old would enjoy. We had difficulty getting the book to work properly with the My First LeapPad. Our granddaughter was disappointed and didn't bother with it when it didn't work. Perhaps our LeapPad is defective, thus resulting in the lower rating.

She seems to absolutely love this cartridge. She received for her birthday on 10/21, and has not used any other cartridge since! we have to kick her out of the bathroom because she brings it in there with her also!!!! As for the educational value I couldn't answer, but it has held her attention.

LeapFrog Learning Friend™ Lily

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: LeapFrog


I bought this for Christmas for my daughter (11 months) thinking it would be good learning and fun for her. But its really loud and there is no way to adjust the sound level. Also to learn from she really needs to have someone with her to point out the objects Leaping Lily is counting. Overall a very durable toy but doesn't pack much of a punch for enjoyment or learning.

Vtech - Thomas & Friends - Calling All Friends Phone

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: V Tech

January 01, 2007
I just bought this for my 15 month old son and he loves it. He dragged it all around the house by the phone and it seems very durable. The buttons say numbers and the name of the train on the button. You can also push the Thomas face for music and there are two other buttons on the top. The three buttons on the bottom are learning games for older kids. The phone cord has a safety release so the baby cant choke... it snaps right back together if they pull it apart. Overall he's having lots of fun and spending a lot of time with this toy. [...]

Vtech - V.Smile - Superman: The Greatest Hero

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: V Tech

June 12, 2006
My children range in ages from 5 to 9. They enjoy the Vsmile games. Even my oldest, and he is quickly outgrowing many of these types of items. This one is one of his favorite games because it is not so 'babyish as some of the other games'.

Instead of the usual run and jump, hit and punch, type of video games you must help complete words, solve math problems and do other learning review type activities.

While I don't believe this game will teach your child anything new, it will ct as a good review for what your child is learning in school. This is a simple way to help your child review and stick it in his mind a little bit better.

Enjoy.

LeapFrog Leapster L-Max Educational Game: Dora the Explorer Wildlife Rescue

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: LeapFrog

October 06, 2005
I really debated about this one b/c my 5 y.o. daughter is not really into Dora anymore, but I hoped my almost 3 y.o. would grow into it. Well, I've been pleasantly surprised. Out of the 3 games I purchased-Princess, Kindergarten, & Dora Wildlife Rescue this is her favorite. It holds her interest far longer than any of the other games. It sounds just like the videos and she even giggles along with it. It has several levels so she can go up as she masters one level. I have not personally played this one yet b/c she figured it out on her own before I could even read the manual. Love the Leapster!!

LITTLE LEAPS PLATFORM

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: LeapFrog


We got this for our 2 year old who loves the games that we bought (we finally got all 10 that are available). Since it is being discontinued, I found the system for only $14.99 at Tuesday Morning recently, so it wasn't a big investment. The set up for our 3 year old Panasonic DVD player took barely 2 minutes. Very simple. The games are not amazing, nor are they full of content, but my son does enjoy them and has begun to show signs of learning to follow directions, sing along and even pronounce words better (he has a speech delay and the speech therapist has noticed improvements in words the videos introduce).

The best thing about the product, though, has nothing to do with the little leaps game system. Since it sync's with the dvd player, ... Read More:
