Read the verdict and alternatives

Our take

Computer pretend play with a fixed set of activities

The screen turns between keyboard and touch play. Letter, number, message, game and music modes give a child different prompts to try. We would buy it for the role of having a pretend computer, rather than expecting an open-ended tablet or treating its activities as evidence of a particular learning outcome.

Best fit
A child aged two to five wants to imitate computer use.
Skip it if
The gift is meant to avoid screens and electronic sound.

A closer look at the trade-offs

The trade-off

Stacking cups offer physical exploration without electronic prompts. Pattern Blocks and Boards offer picture-making with pieces an adult and child can discuss together. The LeapTop is the closer fit when pressing keys and responding to characters is the attraction.

Living with it & the first play session

After the wrapping comes off

It uses three AA batteries and has a volume control. The parent guide also explains the low-battery indicator, useful before assuming an activity has stopped working. Messages belong to the toy activities, not online communication.

Try one letter together, then switch to the corresponding activity in tablet mode. Let the child choose whether to repeat it or move on.

A suggested activity, not a report from a product test.

More ways to play
  1. Try this first. Pretend to send Scout a message, then switch modes for a number activity.
  2. Another way to play. Let the child choose the next color, movement or button and describe the result in their own words.
