I purchsed this as a Christmas present for my little boy. I had seen some good reviews written on it and thought that it looked like a toy that would keep him busy! I purchased it online, but it is also available from high street stores. I paid £29.99, but have seen it cheaper since, so look around for deals. It needs 4 C batteries. It did come with batteries for demonstration purposes and they have only just needed replacing. They lasted 4 months. ...

Advantages: can be locked onto base or left to roll around, very durable

...done by an adult although it is rather easy to do. This toy is very durable and can take alot of abuse from children and just for the parents it has a volume switch load or quiet yippee!!! My one critism of this is that the letters are very close together and quite often 2 or 3 letters get pushed at the same time not the best when you want to teach the alphabet, but very entertaining for the little darlings in your life. A great product highly recommended. ... Read review
