Advantages: Great narration and variety of games.

Disadvantages: Hard to open and mouse connecter easily broken

My daughter seen a little girl playing with this at her dance class one day and was green with envy.

Dora had always been a big favourite in our house and I have to say the music and movement intriged me.

So when she hadnt asked for much for her birthday last year I decide to get her this.

It is made by Vtech and is very good quality. It looks like a proper laptop with keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is in alphabetical order so it is easier for the children to find the correct letter by running through the alphabet.

It is set as a carnival and you have to help Dora and Boots collect the tickets as you play the games.

There are great games to play involving matching shapes, finding letters and numbers and basic logically thinking like trying to find books that belong to the library.

My children all really like when the like Dora character in the dome in the middle dances and the music plays. The colours of the laptop are bright and inviting for children and voice is very clear and tells you what you have to do. The voice is clearly recognisable as Doras which is great.

We have had this for over a year now and it has been played with loads as we take it in the car with us and the batteries have never needed changed.

The only issues I have with this is that to open the laptop you have to pull 2 tabs, one on either side and lift the screen at the same time and even my 4 year old has trouble doing this. Also the connecter when the mouse joins is like the connecter for your phone socket and after a little use the tab snapped off so it now just falls out. Fortunately it doesnt affect the laptop or any of the games as they can all be played with the keyboard.

Summary: A great Dora toy, educational and fun.
