Fisher-Price Fun-2-Learn Computer Cool School

I bought this when it was first released for my 2 1 / 2 years old. I connected it up to my old Dell with Windows XP (this is not Mac-compatible - and I converted to iMac in December). I bought extra Dora and Diego Software, and Clifford software will be installed on its 3 year birthday in 10 days.

She loves it here! I love this! It keeps her busy, and she easily manage all navigate. The first month we had it, had the old Dell no sound - she still managed to use it and enjoy it in silence. Now I wish almost that I had not had the sound fixed! HA!

I will certainly buy extra software to run many different activities.

The only problem I have encountered: sometimes a warning pops up that the keyboard can not be detected. I just disconnect and reconnect it problem solved. The cards are templates for writing is very smart and impossible to stack neatly - get a small basket or something for them.

I found it quite durable.

The best feature for parents is that it requires a password to exit the program, so if you install it on your main computer, the child can not get out of the Cool School program and the computer! Brilliant!

Fisher-Price Fun 2 Learn Preschool Center

We bought it two years ago for Christmas for our then two years old. This toy still looks like new. They love the piano and the music feature of this toy, but the table function is not stable enough to actually use as a desktop (tip forward). There was an error mnfg the middle, and a key marked incorectly. All in all, children love it.

Fisher-Price Fun-2-Learn Limited Edition Computer Cool School

As much as I love the idea of ​​this game, I got it right when my daughter started to show left-handedness. This makes it very difficult to have a keyboard on one side then lean over your body to write. One would think in 2009/10 handedness will become less of a problem, but you can not change pages on the writing surface. It bothers me, but overall the toy is very good for small children (I bought a 2 year old) on up, you do not buy extra games, there is a lot that comes with it.

Fisher-Price Fun-2-Learn Color Flash Laptop

I got the older version of this laptop for my son when he was about 9 months, to keep his attention away from my own laptop. It worked, and more than that by 19 months he was to recognize and say all the letters. The old was extremely shock resistant and the handle was a nice feature, but after spilling water over the keyboard half the buttons stopped working. That's why I got this newer version, also write the function and I also got one for our friends' son, who likes it too.
A comment about ... my son is now 21 months, and although this was his favorite toy for almost a year, his interest seems to have fallen recently .. I'd recommend this for 1-4 year olds.

Fisher-Price Fun-2-Learn Smart Fit Park

We got this toy for my son is three years old and it quickly became his favorite toy! At first I thought it back because of some questions which I will explain later, but decided to keep the toy after seeing how much fun my son has it.

What makes it great: This toy plugs easily into the TV (My son can do it) and it is ready to go. There are no cartridges, DVDs, etc. to keep track of ... Just dull. The toy has lots of games on it to keep the kids busy ... In fact, I do not think I even have seen them all yet! All games are active by letting the kids run or walk in place, jump, stomp right shape, toes, etc. Also it is very cheap compared to any other game options. Finally, my son being able to have their own active video games since our own Wii Fit, DDR, etc. are still too old for him.

Why I left almost there: The graphics on this toy is terrible on our 40-inch HD TV. It gives me a headache to stare at it long, but seems not to think about my son. Also, because the pillow is flat, step son by mistake on the shape buttons as you play. This often sends him back to the main menu ... It's pretty frustrating. We have been practicing staying on the sidewalk part of the carpet. My final point is that you can not specify a skill level of activity (to my knowledge anyway). There are math and spelling questions mixed with everything. (For example: how to spell Login or add the numbers together) I do not know many 3-6 year olds who could do this, but my son just jump over and over again until he finally gets the problem correct and the toy goes to the next activity. Again, do not bother my son, but it can be frustrating for a second child.

The conclusion: My son can not wait to wake up and play this game every morning, and at the price I am happy to say it was a bargain. It's really fun when you get past the issues and helps to burn some of my son's abundant energy! And goodness, love my 19 months old it too! She needs help if the game on the mat, but most of the time, she will stand next to my son and copy him jumping / running / whatever. We will definitely take advantage of this toy!
