Good buy
I’m happy I made this purchase. It functions well and it’s very easy to use the volume isn’t too loud and it’s fun and interactive. The touch screen feature makes it easy to learn for baby and I’m happy about this purchase. I’d recommend

It is good, but could be better.
It’s a good product, good concept, has Baby Shark, so it’s worth the price for me. There’s a few issues that I think are minor, but not enough to stop me from giving a 4 star review. Firstly, my kid enjoys it and I sit there and play with her, trying to teach her the alphabet on it. That’s the real strong point: it’s easy to play interactively with your kid using this toy. And the kid overall enjoys it. She likes the music option where she can play a few songs like Baby Shark and the ABC songs. This matters the most to be beyond the fact that it’s educational.My main issues are minor in relation to that and the price point. You do need to press a bit hard on the mat to get a response and sometimes, certain sounds are unclear in the built in speaker. For example, both my wife and I got several letters guesses wrong because the D and B and V sounds were not clear enough. Maybe I need to turn up the volume more, but I honestly don’t want obnoxiously loud toys just so I can hear the letter. It does need better quality speakers, but at this price point (I think it was like 23$ or 24$), I’m not expecting surround sound so it’s not for me what you’d call a “pain point” in buying. It’s acceptable for the price, it just could be better. If it made the difference of an extra 2-3$ for speaker quality, I’d be happy to pay it, though.Something I would change or improve, but it’s not exactly a complaint: I would maybe structure the letter and image finding game differently. Or maybe have more options for how it can be played, like different modes or difficulty settings. I do not think, that by itself, it provides enough associative value to the letters in terms of the finding the letter and image game. It does provide some uses and I’m not critiquing it since I don’t want to put it down beyond its intended design, but it would be better if the find the letter game then explained or connected somehow in a more clear way that the letter was connected phonetically to the pronunciation of the given image. Language, in how it confers meaning to phonetic contour (at least English), fundamentally operates as in a sound-image manner. Semiotics 101. This just asks the kid to find the letter or image and basically indicates they got it right. That is a useful thing, and for that I’m fine with it, but it’s a bit limited in that regard and I would have preferred to see that aspect of the game improved on. I’m using it to try and teach my 3 year old girl the alphabet more clearly in a way she can read. I think this would be best used supplementally when a kid is already learning to read through other means, like at school. For me, currently abroad in a non-English speaking country, it’s solely on me to teach my kid proper English and reading since nobody else does that at her age.It does have spelling options, which is useful, especially for multiple age groups, but this is a weak point, as well, for some. If you’re buying it to help teach a 3 year old how to tell a/b/c, the board will probably become obsolete by the time they’re at the age to use the spelling part. Kids just don’t maintain interest in spelling boards for long enough to go from knowing the alphabet to spelling a word as long as “necklace”. Even if Baby Shark is in it. So, it needs more functionality to cater to each age group, in my opinion. More modes and difficulties for each style of game would be an improvement in that regard.Otherwise, it’s not a toy to give to children for autopilot. At least not at 3. Or probably any age. You do need to engage with the kid for this to be useful, in my opinion. But, it is useful and a fair price. And it has Baby Shark. So, my kid enjoys it. I’m okay with that. And again, I would like to emphasize, it has used and you can teach your kid with this. Baby Shark is a very strong appeal to a kid and will help your kid get into the idea of reading a bit. That is very important and useful and even if the game were better designed, without that pull for the kid to engage it, good luck getting the kid to be interested at all! I recommend it, but it needs improvement fundamentally in a few areas.PS if R&D is reading this come holla!

Smaller than expected
In theory this is actually a really good idea, however I do think it could have been designed a little better for 30$. It seems to be a little cheaply made. It only has one hook hole at the top in the middle so there’s no way to hang it evenly from the corners in order to make it be flat against the wall in order for the “buttons to work”. It comes folded in 2 sections like a brochure, so it stays creased that same way and unless it’s flat all the way, it doesn’t work properly. It does have volume control and it’s half the size I expected it to be but it will do the job. I just felt like it could have much better quality for the money spent on it. My toddler is definitely interested in it but if it was bigger it would be easier to concentrate because it’s sooooo busy looking with everything so close together that the kids get easily distracted. I’d say this is for 1.5 and up but really more for 3+ due to concentration and focus level for everything going on with the mat

Very Practical
Very practical. Straight forward toddler learning. ABCs, numbers, spellings, and lots of nursery rhymes.

This is a really good Learning Tool for small children. Informative, bright and plays a tune also. it is great value for money.

Daughter has never been the sit quietly and read with me type so when we went to her 21 month checkup I asked for other resources to help her. Doctor suggested flash cards or an interactive poster so here we are a week after setting it up.Pros; excellent quality poster, interactive areas are easy to press, good sound quality for the learning buttons, adjustable volume, many choices to learn as she grows.Cons; the bitrate of the songs are just awful see video, we just dont use that button at all. The one hook hanging means the poster swings often when rambunctious toddler is using.Overall very happy with purchase we’ve used it daily. Would be perfect if they just fixed the song bitrate in my opinion.
