This toy is a good addition that will help supplement your child’s learning in a fun manner. Kids already enjoy playing video games, so combining educational content should be a win-win for everyone. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. I’ve found that sometimes, Ty is more interested in completing the tasks of a given game than actually paying attention to the lessons that are being pushed. But at the same time, he has picked up quite a few things from playing these games, so it’s not all bad. The games themselves are typically full of content ranging from letter recognition, counting, and even math. The type of content found in these games have been helpful in jump starting Ty’s education, so that when it’s time for him to attend school, he’ll already have a head start. I must mention that the graphics are absolutely horrible, so if your child is around PS3s, Xbox360s, or Wii’s, the appeal of a V.Smile may wear off very quickly.
It seem like he does still enjoy playing with it. And u can pass it down the Keith when he get older. Not everyone has a playstation, wii or xbox, so this would be perfect for children not familiar with those.
