Enough variety to keep the attention of my 3- year olds for a good amount of time - portability is perfect for car rides. But price has gone from around $12 to $20 in one month, what's that about - maybe it's a new model? Regardless, it's a fun and engaging item.

My 19 month old loves this toy. My best friend's 13 month old loves this toy. I do have a couple problems with this toy. It does not have a volume switch and it is pretty loud. Also, I like my daughter to use it in the identification mode, but it is so easy for her to switch modes, I can't keep it on her level. She loves the song! On the plus side, it is very educational and fun for the kids. It also turns off on its own when she just drops it on the floor and walks off, which I like. Overall, I would recommend this toy!

I bought this toy for my 4yr. old son to help him learn his shapes and colors. He likes the song that it plays and it keeps his attention. The only thing that I found wrong with it is that it is a little too loud. So I put some tape over the speaker to make it a little quiter. Other than that this is a great toy for toddlers and preschoolers alike.

My daughter has all three of the smart sticks (letters, numbers, and colors/shapes) and they are IDEAL toys. They have several settings that play a song, tell her about what button she pushed (this is a - ), or ask her to find a letter/number/shape/color. They also have a switch for english or spanish. My daughter LOVES these and has learned everything on them at a much younger age than I would have expected her to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for anyone who believes in educational toys. Also very durable, they frequently get dropped with no issues and even got run through the washer and worked again when dried out.

My daughter enjoys playing with this toy, and treats it like a phone (as it resembles a cell phone). She likes pushing the buttons and listening to the music, but she holds it up to her ear while it's playing music. The problem with this is that it is very loud, and there is no sound adjustment. It's so loud you can hear it rather well from upstairs. It's a good idea, especially with the whole bilingual education it provides, but I wish it had a volumn adjustment so it wouldn't cause any negative effects on her ears. I wouldn't advise this toy for kids under 3 who don't understand not having loud objects so close to their ears.
