My 7 year old son has been interested in the presidents for the last year or more. We bought him this for Christmas, and not even a month later, he has all of the presidents memorized along with most of the vice presidents. He can tell you in random order what number they were too. He knows a ton of presidential facts that I didn't even know! He can also tell you when they were born and died, and how long they were in office. He's working on memorizing the first ladies now. He plays with this everyday for hours. I realize not all kids are as into presidents as mine, but even if they are a little bit interested, this is a great tool. I feel like he has a huge head start in school!

I am pleased with the information given on the game. However, I am
a little disappointed that there is not a volume control. I also do
not like how cheaply the game is put together.

This was a replacement of the toy we have had for several years. My son used it so much he wore it out. He is blind and these type of toys are an easy and fast way to learn information sometimes not taught in our schools. He has memorized every question on this toy, which makes him look very smart. We have everyone of these types of toy we can find: Solar system, Underwater, Dinasours, United States, Continents the Human body. I wish they would make more of these, like The Periodic Table of elements. These can teach him in a way that school cannot. Well worth the money.

We got this for my son who is very interested in the presidents. I think he was 9 or 10 at the time.
He and his younger brother still get it out and play with it sometimes. It is a very educational toy.
It can be taken in the car on long rides for entertainment as well.

It was an instant success for our 61/2 year old twin grandsons,because they're really into learning about the presidents of the United States right now.

We have a 2.5 year old and a 4 year old that both enjoy pushing the buttons on this toy to learn about the Presidents. In less that 3 weeks our 4 year old had all the Presidents memorized (face, and #) including many facts about each President.

What surprised us is the 2 year old also learned all the names of the Presidents and could locate any President on the board within 3 weeks. It took him much longer to learn the order, but he did it before 3 years of age.

The toy does look and feel a bit cheap (what do you expect for $10), but it is surprisingly very, very durable. It has been dropped many times, stood on by the 2 year old, and used a whole lot. It still functions perfectly. This is probably the best toy for the money that can think of for early learning on this topic. If you want your children to learn the Presidents at an early age, this is a great tool to consider using. It is something they can use while driving in the car. It may be useful to expand the child's learning in other topics - money, and history, as well.

Updated 2011: Well over a year later, this toy is still working like the first day. The kid's don't play with it that often, but it is still being used. Again, it is excellent to use in the car for long trips. This seems to help quickly refresh their memory of the Presidents. I still think this toy is amazing for the cost and education feature. After my first review, we bought a Dinosaur and a US State version of this product. The dinosaur version was expensive and not very broad in information - a bit disappointing for me, but the kids liked it. The State version was not too bad.

My autistic son is on his third game.He can answer a quetion in less than a second.
