Product Description

Editorial Review

Follow in the footsteps of the king of animation with Mickey Mouse and the Disney Dream Sketcher Electronic Creative Coloring Studio. Featuring a full color screen with drawing activities and games, this colorful console offers a wide variety of artistic possibilities; just pick a mouse-eared menu item and you’re off. For those who like structure, open the coloring book and choose from 10 coloring pages, such as Mickey riding a sled; numbers will appear to suggest possible colors. For those interested in more free-form fun, simply pick up the stylus and start sketching, stamping, choosing shapes and patterns, or adding letters and numbers. When artistic inspiration wanes, the Connect-the-Dots option has kids drawing all the right lines, bringing hidden images to life. Both stylus and sketcher have textured grips, making it easy for little hands to hold this compact, portable, and fun toy. When the artwork is complete, download the image to a PC for saving or printing and sharing. This system is expandable with a series of themed software cartridges. Six AA batteries required (not included). --Heather Lyndon

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, September 30, 2005

We bought this to keep our daughter occupied in the car during long trips. She loves to do electronic coloring on the computer, the Disney software was appealing and the reviews were all good, so we were very excited about this toy. However, after unboxing and putting batteries in it, we are very disappointed in the product. The screen image is terrible -- you can hardly distinguish colors and the pixilation is very bad. The pre-loaded software only has 10 coloring pages. The dot to dot game doesn't have the child follow numbers or letters so it has absolutely no educational value. We were not able to test the additional Princess cartridge we bought without tearing opening the packaging, but even if the software was great it would'nt overcome the terrible screen image. The images look nothing like the one on the packaging. This toy is going back to the store tomorrow. It was a great premise, but poorly done.

I have three kids...with three Dream Sketchers. They're great toys. My kids all love to play for hours at a time. The toy itself is durable and ours have survived being dropped! This is a great toy in our book!

I have 2 children (6 & 8 yrs old)that I recently purchased the Mickey Mouse dream sketcher for. They have not stopped playing with it all weekend long. They continue to be amazed with all of the fun activities they can play. My 6 year old especially loves the puzzles that she can play on the cartridges and my 8 year old loves the coloring book. I am so happy they have a new activity that is so portable and filled with hours of enjoyment.
