1 out of 5 stars Tough to set-up, didn't work for us   November 20, 2008
My son received this last year for Christmas. He was very excited to get started. I was able to install the software that came with the toy however we were not able to use any of the fun activities. We'd pull an activity up and the screen would multiply over and over and over. The website was no help as it was under construction. We tried calling customer support for this product and the phone would just ring numerous times without anybody to pick up the phone. We tried over a week. So we thought maybe the toy was defective, sent it back. We got a new one from Amazon very quickly and the same thing happened with our replacement. So I figured it must be something with our computer that we were missing. Of course I had no technical support from FP. I tried several different things including help from 3 other computer tech guys in the family. Nobody could figure this out. Before you buy, make sure FP can give you the tech support you may need to set up. Everything listed on the box for computer compatibility we had so I'm not sure why we could not get this to work.


5 out of 5 stars Great Product   November 14, 2008
My 4 year old daughter always wants to do things on the "puter". She got this for her birthday and it is perfect. She loves to draw and create things, so this is perfect. The stylus is a little frustrating for me because it does not work the same as a mouse, but she picked riht up on it. I am amazed with her hand eye coordination - and it keeps getting better. She quickly picked up on how to change from painting to coloring to stamping. I can't believe how well she was able to master it. She loves typing things to learn her letters. I love it.


5 out of 5 stars Great product!   November 9, 2008
My daughter (4) got this as a birthday gift last year. It was easy for her to understand how to work it. As she gets older she is learning more things and is able to discover new parts of the game. I found it very easy to install, the quality of the product is great and very durable; just remember to go to the support website and get your system updates!


1 out of 5 stars Over-priced piece of electronic junk   November 6, 2008
Basically the program you need to install is a problem. Due to the 'safe' environment it creates it can conflict with your computers firewall, virus protection software. If you have anti-spyware you will not be able to use this program.
So I managed to install it on my laptop and my daughter liked it for a while. Then it just stays at your computer desk taking up a lot of space. So it goes away and you have to unravel everything to set it up. To be honest [..], my daughter has more fun on that or use real pencils and crayons. This is [...] of plastic junk in our house, can't wait for a yard sale.



4 out of 5 stars Great concept, just need more stable software   November 5, 2008
First off, my 4-year old twins love this product. They will literally share the unit with each other for hours drawing and designing. They even figured out how to print there pictures and I ended up having to limit the number of prints! Once I showed my kids the controls, they can easily do this without a lot of parent involvement, and it's hard for them to get back to Windows.

The bad side, as some reviews have stated is the software. There ARE updates available to the software, but I still find at times weird quirks about the software that make it rather difficult for my kids to figure out how to start it up. You're forced to run a program constantly on your computer that waits for the unit to be plugged in, then starts up. You don't have the options to add a shortcut to the program and start it up when you want to.

We tried this unit when my kids were 3-years old, and they had problems understanding the concept of pushing the pen into the board. You see, the tip of the pen has a movable plastic piece that must be pushed in, in order to draw something. Younger kids might have problems understanding they need to push this into the board.

I still do like this unit, and it seems pretty durable. It is kind of bulky to store when you aren't using it, but obviously that is a given!
