Bought this for my niece whenever she was 3, she was able to play it easily then it's a plug and play system, think like hooking up an Amazon fire stick. The controller was easy for her to use and it kept her entertained for awhile. Even my older kids enjoy helping her out on it and end up playing it as well. It's a great buy for toddlers!

Perfect little game for toddlers

My three year old loves it however I was hoping it would have different styles of games instead of all of them being the same run and jump style.

My son loved it! I am not sure he fully understood it, but that was probably because we bought it for him when he was too little for it. I will say, it is durable. It was tossed around and beaten on by my toddler, and it just kept going!

Got this for my 3 year old. Was a little advanced for him.

Has potential, my 3.5 year old niece figured out how to jump and move at the same time on her second go around.Things we don’t love;The game is just 4 zones of the same platformer based game. I thought there would be more gaming styles, that’s my bad for misunderstanding the pictures. All of the “counting” and ‘letters” are just audio spoken when you reach the next character.You can’t double jump off a ledge without jumping /before/ the ledge. The amount of enemies that make you lose a heart in the intro levels are frustrating, and the fact that it brings you back to the full start when you’re out of lives instead of at the last shape you finished. I wish there was a parent setting to turn off hearts.Their speed of speech is well done for the age of kids, but some of it is oddly paced. The emerald announcement “you have __ emeralds” you can tell they recorded the numbers separately.The B button doesn’t seem to do anything? (You can go back in the menu, and you use it to re-hear “character” narration) Would be cool if we could throw something at the enemies to make them vanish.The down button to crouch is too sensitive, and we often found ourselves crouching unintentionally.The “learning center” is too slow to be engaging, and just repeats the same sound bite. I would love if there was a more engaging activity like a shape music video, or a sing along, or patterns or even a lil quiz mode for extra emeralds.The clearance zones are too narrow in a lot of areas, and if you fall down a cliff it will bring you back up to right where you started (our first total death was accidentally walking off the same cliff 3 times in a row)You collect a bunch of gems? For some festival at the end? We are still playing through (the 3.5 doesn’t understand locked zones and wants to play with Her Letters) so I don’t know how rewarding that is, but I would love if there was Something else you could do with emeralds.What we do like;The controller is a Fantastic size. The A and B button are well positioned. The build quality is sturdy, and holds up to a few tosses down (while we work on reminding her to treat things gently)It does Not come with, but just takes 2 AAs, I always appreciate when they keep it common, and so far the battery life seems to be plenty long.The tunnel sound effect when you go from level to level is perfect.Set up was so easy, literally plug and play.Love that you can choose between 2 treasure chests, wish there was some difference between them.The little things that happen as the levels advance are cute, bubbles that float, springs that launch, little things I think will help keep the game fresh.Overall;The actual learning concepts are not that great. She already knows her colors, most of her shapes, and how to count to 10. I was excited about the letter area the most, but there is no real replay ability there, which means she won’t continue to go back which would help her review.However I stand by that it is a good introduction to controllers, and will help her get ready for more advanced games. I don’t regret my purchase, overall a good value for the money I spent.

This is great learning tool for kids small and compact easy to set up and uber stand
