The Bottom Line: Great toy and great investment. Your child will have fun learning with this VTech toy.
We bought the VTech Little Smart PC Fun Plus for our son when he was 2 1/2. Now, 2 1/2 years later, it's still going strong and his 2 1/2 year old sister is enjoying it as well. This is a very durable educational toy that both kids and parents can enjoy.
The Little Smart PC Fun Plus has 8 activities for a child to have fun with while learning. The activities deal with making/listening to music, simple addition and subtraction, memory, counting, pattern matching, before and after using ABC's and numbers, finding missing letters and teaching the alphabet. The 'keyboard' has 10 large number buttons, 7 shape buttons, a repeat button, a musical note button, a blue 'cheat' button. The mouse has four yellow directional arrows and a large red enter button which are very easy for little hands to manipulate.
During the Little Smart PC Fun Plus music activity, pressing any one of the 10 number buttons plays a different tune while a short animation plays on the small screen. Under the number buttons are 7 shape buttons- heart, triangle, diamond, square, arrow, rectangle and star- that play individual notes. During the other 7 activities, pushing these shape buttons will have the shape announced through the speaker.
The nice range of activities assures that this toy will grow with a child as opposed to the child quickly outgrowing the toy. The Little Smart PC Fun Plus is great for road trips or anywhere you need to occupy a child's time while they wait. The two volume levels ensure that you can take it with you to public places without annoying those around you.
The graphics are simple and basic. Children earn bananas for correctly solving problems. When they earn three bananas, they get a cheer and thumbs up graphic. If they enter a wrong answer, they are prompted to try again. After answering incorrectly two or three times, depending on the activity being played, they are presented with a different problem or told and shown the correct answer.
Overall, the VTech Little Smart PC Fun Plus is an excellent toy that provides a great combination of learning and fun.
