Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Adventure Quest is an electronic toy designed to create a play pattern that closely replicates the adventures of the Dora The Explorer show. The toy uses recognizable character and landmark icons from the show to teach object identification, sequencing and bilingual language skills. The toy includes 3 modes of play - identify, find and adventure mode. Each mode is played out by using the three printed tumblers located on the toy. Each of the tumblers is printed with 5 separate icons/landmarks. The 3 tumblers act as the three landmarks encountered on each of Doras adventures. These tumblers are printed with 5 landmarks each. At the appropriate times these tumblers are rotated to expose, thus selecting, one of the printed icons on each.

This toy keeps my two year old occupied more than my four year old. Although it does teach kids the basic words in spanish, like "lago" for lake and "el camino" for the word road, etc, so from that perspective it is educational, but it doesn't hold an older child's attention for very long (4 and up). I would recommened this for ages one to two years of age since repetition is what they enjoy. As for its durability, my son has thrown it around on numerous occasions as the toy is still working like new.

2.0 out of 5 stars Educational but not fully functional, August 29, 2004

My 2 and a half year old daughter (and now my 7 month old son) enjoy playing with this toy, however my daughter is a little disappointed that Boots does not say anything. I say this toy is not fully functional because the insect fiesta band in the bottom right corner looks like a button that should be pressable to make noises like Dora, Swiper, and the Map, however our button does not go down when we push it, nor does it make any noise. Was ours just the one defective toy, or are there more that have a button that does not work? One day my daughter cried for an hour because this button does not work.

Not an awful toy, but not fabulous. We haven't had to bang it on the floor, but my daughter just doesn't seem impressed by it. I think there's not enough of a "result" when you find the things, so it doesn't hold her attention.
