We've had this toy in our house for 2 or 3 years now and I think it is one of the best toys we've ever bought. It is a fantastic way to learn your child numbers and letters, and I think it played a big part in my eldest son learning his letters. My 3 year old currently plays with it all the time and I'm sure when my 18 month old son gets old enough he will too play on it lots. I love toys that help and encourage children with their learning. The VTech Thomas the Tank Engine Learn and Explore Laptop is a little computer for little children suitable from 3 years. It has Thomas on the front of the laptop and has a handle so it is easy for your child to carry. ...  Read the complete review

My youngest is a complete Thomas fan no princesses for her it is Thomas all the way! We purchased this for her Birthday last year and most mornings our house is filled with the chirpy sounds of Thomas puffing! What is it? This is a child's toy laptop with built in mouse. The toy has what in my opinion is a very small LCD screen but my daughter has not complained about being unable to see properly so maybe just mummy being over critical! The laptop has over thirty activities all of which are designed to promote computer skills as well as aid with early curriculum skills personally my daughters favourite button is the one which ...  Read the complete review

My youngest, nearly 4, is quite the Thomas fan. Well, less so now, but he still very much likes it. He got this toy for his birthday last year and has had fantastic use out of it. The toy is a pretend laptop, with lots of different educational games to play. My littlest loves being able to put this on when big bro is playing on the real laptop, he doesn't feel left out. After a few goes on it with help, he is now able to navigate it by himself using the mouse or buttons, although of course as all children he prefers it if you sit with him to watch! The toy is easy for children to carry as it has a handle as part of the design, and easy for them to ...  Read the complete review

Wow! What a computer for a toddler. My son was 2 when he got this laptop and was just beginning to take an interest in letters and numbers and it was the best buy you could imagine. Within a week he recognised all of his numbers, and within a month he could tell you any letter of the alphabet. The computer isn't just a basic abc 123 either. It has enough games to entertain children until they are at least 5 or 6 in my opinion. There are basic games of recognising the letter and number and matching it to the keyboard, up to entering the missing letter in words which teaches spelling. There are control games for the mouse where you have to direct ...  Read the complete review

The VTech Thomas the Tank Engine Learn and Explore Laptop is a fantastic little laptop for little people, and a firm favorite with my 3 year old 'Thomas mad' boy. This robust and durable toy has been a hit with all the kids that come to play, and the centre of many a battle for playing with - so much so it has to be put up away on play dates in preparation for the argument. I have to say though for the price a very very good buy. We've had this since Christmas and it's been played with pretty much every day since, and the change in my sons recognition of letters and numbers is obvious. Comes with lots of different activities that help progress children on, ...  Read the complete review
