Title: Not educational; very hard to see the screen
Review: I really regret buying this toy for my 5-year-old. I bought this instead of a GameBoy or something similar because I thought it might be more educational. Unfortunately, it isn't, and she will outgrow it quickly. I will admit that she loves it -- after all, it's a video game. But it's worthless in terms of its educational value. It teaches things like identification of triangles (uh, yeah, she's 5 -- she knows what a triangle looks like) and how to manipulate video game buttons (last time I checked, that wasn't on any proficiency test). More importantly, the screen is very little and VERY hard to see. I really limit her time on it because she sits squinting at the screen with her shoulders clenched and her neck bent over. Since this is essentially just a video game system with no educational value, I should have saved my money and gotten a Wii or a PlayStation. At least those game systems wouldn't hurt her vision and posture!
