The V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop: a Toy that Grows with Your Child

My 3-year-old son recently acquired a toy featuring his favorite TV characters, The Little Einsteins. The V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop features the lovable, musical Disney characters in a fun and somewhat realistic laptop computer design.

The red plastic V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop opens up just like a real laptop. Rocket, one of the major characters in the Little Einsteins Disney channel show, is the laptop mouse. The mouse on the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop can be moved up and down and side to side and has a button just like a real computer mouse. The Rocket mouse is used to move through and select games on the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop.

The V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop features 18 different activities. The activities have a wide range of ability levels. My son who just turned 3 is able to master a few of the games, but as he grows he will be able to understand more. This feature makes the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop a good buy since it will grow with a child. Games from sorting shapes to recognizing letters to counting are all included on the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop. Since The Little Einsteins are known for incorporating music and art into their television show, the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop also features some fun music games.

An alphabetical order keyboard is attached to the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop. There is also a small musical keyboard with each musical note of an eight note scale on it.

The V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop retails for just under $25 and requires 3 AA batteries. The batteries seem to last quite a long time in this toy. The durable plastic construction will help the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop take typical toddler beatings and come out on top.

While the price is a little steeper than what I like to spend on my son's short attention span, the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop has proven to be a nice toy. The different activities available make this a lasting toy. The addition of music games to the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop set it apart from other similar laptop toys available. The beloved Little Einsteins characters are the cherry on top of a great toy perfect for a toddler boy or girl.

Overall the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop gets four out of five stars. If your child is curious about the computer, sees mommy or daddy using a laptop, or has an interest in The Little Einsteins, the V-Tech Little Einsteins Laptop is an excellent toy.
