Questions & Answers
Depending on how hungry the toddler is for stimuli, my best guess is 2 to 3 or 4. This is how I viewed it. It exposes a preschool 5 year old to several aspects of technology that today's toddlers need to master, such as a keyboard, the symbols for numbers and letters, and learning the outcomes of using the keyboard. Now, if the child has had no educational stimuli to very little, do the child a favor and go for it.
It will say the numbers in English before switching to Spanish, but it will always do so. It does not have an on/off switch. Everything, including the letters, is written in English.
It's a little difficult to use, but not too difficult.
No, this tablet only has the function of counting up to ten (bilingue) in Spanish. Other activities are in English, and I haven't found a way to change it; I'm also from Venezuela. Saludos
Selected User Reviews For Fisher Price - Smart Tablet
Pros:
- Although it is not an "in color" device, bright screens with changing background colors are available. br>- feels solid and has the appearance of a "real" tabletbr>- a good size for sitting on a toddler's lap in the car, etc. br>- br>br>Pros: The alphabet section is adorable. br>br>Cons:
- It's essentially a re-imagining of the same-named laptop, with the exception that it lacks a mouse, making the "here mousey, mousey!" refrain redundant. "expression (which irritates me to no end) does not make sensebr>- The element of counting/numbers is a letdown. It's all about the stars - not to mention the cool, animated, and adorable celebrities - On a computer from 1981, however, there are stars.
- I can see how this could cause seizures in children who are prone to them. It's a strange strobe-like effect. With flashing lights, add a light effect to the music section. br> annoyance in terms of voice and soundsbr>- Overpriced to the point of absurdity. For around $12, I'd say it'd be worth it. The StoryTime Pad from Leapfrog (with its leaptop computer) Both of which can be had for around $18 on sale) are far superior (despite the fact that it lacks the color component - It doesn't matter, though, because this tablet is just color lights in the background and not actually in color). VTech's learn and go tablet (or something similar) ($18) is also a far better option with more engaging games. br>br>The V Reader is MUCH better and actually in color if you can find it on sale for $30 or less, but you'll have to buy the cartridges or download the books, which can add up quickly. If money isn't a concern, an iPod Touch (with Wifi turned off for safety) is a great little device with a plethora of educational apps for 99 cents (or free) - It's also something that multiple family members can use at the same time (mp3 player, camera, video, etc. ).
This is a fantastic toy, but I wish there was a way to disable the Spanish functionality. I believe that teaching bilingualism is beneficial, but we wanted to use Tory to teach numbers, and having the voice switch from English to Spanish is confusing.
Before she started kindergarten, I wanted her to be able to type. I didn't want her to play the game of seek and find. This was a hit with her, and we've been using it on a regular basis since then.
My 4- This toy is enjoyed by my 6-year-old grandchildren. My 6-year-old enjoys typing words that he has learned the most. I gave it four stars because I believe it is assisting both of them in becoming more familiar with a keyboard; however, neither of them plays games or listens to music very often. They may be more appropriate for a younger child.
Mommy is looking for changes. A year ago, I bought this for my three-year-old son. We take "her computer" on road trips, and it has kept us entertained during downtime and while using the restroom. The text is black, and the background alternates between green and blue. red. It's a little basic, but my kid enjoys it. Advantages: br>br> br>Music that is cheerful and upbeat. commandsbr>Graphics are cute and entertainingbr>Powers down on its own when children walk away. To begin, turn the switch off and then on again. br>Kids who have played it have found it to be very interactive in terms of learning letter sounds. br>Smooth rounded corners and sides. Easily fits on the lap of a child; simple to take hold of carry; With the batteries installed, it weighs under a pound. br>The tablet front is made up of a single piece. It's simple to clean if sticky fingers get their hands on it. br>A springy and durable plastic stand in the back angles the tablet up. It can withstand a lot of force and still bounce back. It is simple to open and close for small hands. After a year of use, it is still functional. br>Has been dropped a LOT of times with no problemsbr>br>Cons: br>My only complaint is that the arrow keys are difficult to use - Adults included. My 3-year-old loves the "Here Mousey Mousey" sound that starts the maze, but she can't get the cursor to move more than one or two steps because she can't press the buttons hard enough. Other keys are easier to press than the arrow keys for some reason, but you must still press them down to activate them. When pressing the button only once, we occasionally get double letters. Making music with the number keys by purposefully pushing them is a time-consuming process that children find boring. The only reason I would advise buyers to look for a different tablet is because of the keyboard/arrow key interface. br>br>There are two volume settings, both of which are far too loud for my liking; when my daughter turns it on by herself, she always selects the loudest setting. We "fixed" it by applying a couple of rows of painter's tape to the speaker. br>br>The maze game becomes more difficult as it progresses - The first is a piece of cake: a 5-hour commitment There are six different directions to choose from, which is appropriate for children who are still learning. After you've solved that, you'll be taken to a much more difficult maze to complete. It would be nice if there was a basic version. There are a variety of advanced levels from which to choose. br>br>Wishes / Remarks: br>br>I realize this is a basic tablet, but while we're playing, I keep thinking to myself, "Gee - this is a good one. " "I wish there were more"br>br>Both upper and lower case letters have the same graphics. I wish there were 3-dimensional versions of this after listening to it over and over again. For each letter, there are six different objects described (at the moment, it's only: T stands for turtle, L stands for lion, R stands for rooster, v stands for volcano, b stands for boat, n stands for nest, and so on. )br>br>I wish there was another button/mode to help trace uppercase / lowercase letters with your finger. br>br>I wish there was another button/mode to help trace uppercase / lowercase letters with your finger. br>br>I wish there was another button/mode to help trace uppercase / lowercase letters with your finger. br>br>Typing: br>br> There are only 6 letters across before it moves to the next line. The name of my daughter is longer than six letters. I wish the screen was larger so that more letters could be displayed. "To make a tune, touch the numbers" - br>br>"To make a tune, touch the numbers" - You can also press the letters to get a quick pre-recorded message. a song that has been recorded It took me a few weeks to "discover" this feature. br>br>Spanish is only spoken when numbers are pushed, and only when those numbers are pushed. Why?.
Brand new, but after about 30 seconds of use, it "powers down. " My 2- After 5 minutes, my 1/2-year-old grandson had grown tired of the features. I intend to return. This product is not one of my favorites from Fisher-Price.
This was delivered on time and didn't require any setup. It could be put to use right away. It was delivered in this state. This was a Christmas present for my 5-year-old daughter, who loves it. I haven't paid much attention to the games and activities on it, but my daughter seems to enjoy them.
It is very light. Our grandson says tablet all the time, so it's worth the money. br>It's very current- speech recognition with words, arithmetic, and video.
