Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Phonics Writing Desk
Customer Review: Educationally sound, but not enough "thinking" time
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the games within this toy are educational, the timing of the verbal prompts are too fast. For example, during the "write your own word" portion of the game, the prompts are approximately every 5 seconds. After approximatley 4 prompts, the toy will turn itself off. This has become very frustrating to my 5 year old when he is trying to write a word and is not writing as fast as the prompts are coming. He still uses the toy, but not for long periods. Were I to buy another toy, I would try to find one that gives the child additional thinking and writing time.Customer Review: He'll Be Reading By Age 3!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son discovered this one at a neighborhood cafe with a toy corner, and now he begs me constantly to take him there! He's only 2 years old -- younger than the toy's target age -- and can't do the writing part of the activities. But he loves responding to the instructions by picking out the right letters. I've never gotten so many smiles and compliments on my smart little boy from strangers as when he's sitting in that cafe, pushing the right letters and giggling when it tells him "Great job!" or "Woo hoo!" We're definitely buying him one of his own for Christmas!Customer Review: Worth the $$
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this last Christmas for our son who was 3 1/2 at the time. Then, he thought it was neat that he could write, then erase want he just wrote & he viewed it as a "big-boy" toy. Shortly after he turned 4 years old is when he picked it back up & really started using it. He is 4 1/2 now & knows the alphabet to letter N, with the help of this toy-- but it's really more than a toy; it's a teacher also. The voice is very clear to understand. My son is rough on his toys & this one still works great after 1 year, so yes, it's durable.Customer Review: Three Children one Leap writing pad.
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband brought this toy for my two year old stepson almost five years ago and he loved it. He the moved in with his mom and it was than passed on to my first child at the age of two and she then passed it on to her younger sister and both of them can write and spot lots of three letter words. I RECOMMEND this product to all parents for thier child it is fun and last a very long time. My only problem was that the two girls fought over it all time. It is easy for children to handle and play with alone. If you want extra quiet time buy this product.Customer Review: Erase button broke after two days!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 4 year old really liked this toy. She immediately started writing quite a few of the letters, which surprised me since she had been refusing to try for some time. I think that this toy is a great idea because it allows kids to feel like they've accomplished the writing on their own. Unfortunately, the erase button for the writing screen broke two days after we got it. I have sent it back but don't know yet whether or not I'll get a refund. I would still recommend this toy, though. It even gives you the option to work on small or capital letters.
