Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The V.Smile Art Studio is a touch-sensitive drawing pad that connects to the separately sold V.Smile TV Learning system. It works very much like a drawing tablet for a computer, except that the drawing tools are all built into the tablet itself. On the left side of the tablet there is a palette of 15 colors, and along the bottom are icons representing different tools and functions, such as erase, color fill, shape library and so on. The unit comes with a set of lessons to teach kids the basics of art, such as line drawing, color mixing, and animation. It also features games that teach problem solving, logic skills, and color matching. These games come in easy and hard difficulty levels. A free draw mode lets kids draw whatever they wish, and the system can store up to five of their pictures. The Art Studio is powered by four AA-size batteries, which not included. A built-in cable connects to the player one slot on the V.Smile console. It comes with the Art Studio cartridge, which plugs into the console, and a user manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful, September 28, 2005
By Mark Justice (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews
My 5 year old daughter is a V.Smile fanatic and she also loves to draw, so this is the perfect combination for her. Not to mention how much paper the V.Smile Art Studio has already saved us. Now I just hope that V-Tech creates more Smartridges that are compatable with the Art Studio, the possibilities for this are virtually limitless.

2.0 out of 5 stars Paint Station Review, November 13, 2005
I bought this for a Christmas present for my 6 year old, and because of the mixed reviews, my 17 yr old daughter and I decided to try it out first...and boy am I glad we did. After a brief discussion, we returned the Paint Station and decided to get something else in it's place. The toy has some definite possibilities, but it's our opinion not enough of the kinks were worked out before it was put on the market. It's true, you do have to press a little harder on the pen, but that's not really a big deal and didn't influence our decision.

Some programs worked really well and were fun, but we grew frustrated because other programs didn't work as well and there was one program that didn't work at all. It's our opinion this product would require adult supervision in order to navigate through the 'kinks' so the child wouldn't become exasperated. I think V Smile is close to something really good, so I hope they keep working on improving the product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, but it is not very user-friendly, November 28, 2005
By Amy (Midwest) - See all my reviews
I am so glad that I tested this out before Christmas. My son is very into art and drawing, so I thought he would love this. And I am sure that he would, if it worked properly. The screen is just not sensitive enough at some times, and too sensitive at others. You have to either press very hard on the icons to get them to work, or tap a few times very lightly. There is absolutely no consistency to it. An older child might not mind, but I think it would really frustrate a 3-5 year old. I think that this is one of those toys that was rushed through development to make it to the market in time for Christmas, and that is a shame because this is a great idea. I hope that they will fine-tune it, I would definately buy it again if they would take the time to work out the kinks.
