In their words
“My grandson had loads of educational fun, perfect gift for my four year old grandson Landon he is intelligent and this was a van tastic birthday gift”
PAPI · verified purchase · walmart.com
“This product is almost there. I was thinking both of my kids (7 and 3) would be interested in this, and they were, but that didn't last long. The quizzes and slides provided are decent, but once the kids run through them, they lose interest. Also, the slides come with three images of different magnitudes of an organism. I get that this is a cheaper way to zoom in and learn, but it is kind of meh. ”
