Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Smartville playsets are clever electronic toys that, on their surface, don't look like electronic toys. They're colorful plastic with cute characters that engage a toddler's imagination and tickles their fancy. Switch it on, and the playset comes alive with light-up buttons, songs, and encouraging words. This large 1-2-3 Treehouse playset teaches kids shape and number recognition. It features a fold-down pad of numbered buttons arrayed in a hopscotch grid and announces each number when its button is pressed. Even though the power switch has settings for "Discovery" and "Learning" modes, we couldn't find any distinction between the two; both modes occasionally prompt the child to find a number or shape. The playset has a couple built-in "hotspots," which are slots kids can plug characters and some props into to hear the set identify the piece by name or otherwise react with clues about what kind of animal the character is, such as "I like to swim." It even recognizes some characters from other Smartville sets. Parents will be glad to know that the playset has two volume settings and an off switch. An auto shut off feature conserves batteries when children wander away and forget to turn it off. Inside the box you'll find the playset, eight smart characters, four shape sorter pieces, a shape sorter house, two detachable fence pieces and instructions. It's powered by three AA-size batteries, which are included. --Porter B. Hall

3.0 out of 5 stars Up & Down, Up & Down, September 25, 2006

This review is from: 1-2-3 Treehouse - V.Smile SmartVille Imaginative Play (Toy)

My one year old son does play with this toy, but it annoys me. The shape sorter holes are vertical and it is awkward for him to fit the shapes in. We typically turn the treehouse on its back to play with the shape sorter or he removes sorter piece altogether from the base. Every time the treehouse moves, the swing moves, so you constantly hear "up & down, up & down." It comes with 8 animals. My son definitely loves the animals, however he thinks the owl looks like a chicken and the goose is a duck (very hard to tell the difference). The toy attempts to be interactive by asking you to find the "skunk," for instance. I finally figured out how to answer it. You must gently place the animal in one of the two bases. If you press down, while placing it into the base, it will give you other information about that animal (I have a stripe or I like to be smelly). There is a hopscotch keypad with the numbers 1 through 10 on the colorful buttons. The toy asks what your favorite number is. I have yet to figure out how to answer. When I push a button on the keypad it says the corresponding color, not the number. There is a button on the television; my son loves to push it and hear the "Smartville Treehouse melody" over and over. Also, there are six shapes in the tree. Each has a corresponding nursery rhyme; however it doesn't sing the whole rhyme. Personally, I think there are better toys available, but he does play with it and seems to like it.

This review is from: 1-2-3 Treehouse - V.Smile SmartVille Imaginative Play (Toy)

My 17 month old enjoys playing with the swing the most since the treehouse says "Weeee" in return to his actions. The problem is that the slighestest movement activates the swing's sayings even when my son is playing with another feature.This can really be annoying to both of us. In the "Learning mode" the swing uses the sayings of "up & down". To him, it is more of a side-to-side action. As for the hopscotch and learning about the animals, he does enjoy pushing the large sized buttons to hear its corresponding color and number. He doen't seem too interested in learning about the animals, yet. This toy is something children can grow with. An infant would take delight in the lights and animals. My son likes to take the shape-sorter off of the base to play with the shapes(it is REALLY easy to take off. I like that the music is soft on the ears. There are so many interactive things on the toy but as of right now, he really likes using the 8 oversize animals on his other toysets.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: 1-2-3 Treehouse - V.Smile SmartVille Imaginative Play (Toy)

I bought this for Christmas for my 15month old granddaughter and she just loves it! Don't forget to buy extra batteries for this one though. One of the really nice things about this is that all of the pieces work with any of the other "Smartville" products. I also bought her the "Smartville" firehouse and she can play with them together and if I buy others for her she can really have her own "village". It seems to be a really well built product and has enough "things to do" to keep a little one busy.
