I have three children ranging from 2-10 years old, and they all love V-Smile! This Spongebob game is based around the story of our yellow friend organising a party. My kids paticularly like the shopping game, where Spongebob and Patrick have to go to the supermarket and use the correct coins at the checkout. In another you get to be the fry cook and make Krabby patties (the buns have letters on which help to fill the orders). Like all V-smile games this has a good mix of numeracy, literacy, logic and fun!

My 2 year old son was going off bath time so I bought this toy to entice him back in - it worked!
It's a great little toy, lovely detail and clever design, however it's a bit tough for the age group it's designed for to use...
The door is very difficult to close and open (even for me!), the bubble bottle lid is hard to put on and the bubble creating button is difficult to push and create bubbles. This doesn't seem to overly bother my son and of course I'm always with him at bath time so on hand to help - but it does seem a shame since he quickly learnt how to use the washing mechanism on his own.
However, I still give it 4 stars because it has been a lifesaver for bath time enjoyment and I think it's very ... Read More:

This toy is excellent, certainly of an entertainment value to young babies with an active mind and yearning for learning. The ability to expand and add more 'games' also means this is a must for development of the young mind. Amusing children with a PS3 would be of concern but this is aimed at young minds with a grasp of the basics of education at an early age. Don't buy it if your child is going to be of the PlayStation generation, Do Buy it if your child is going to grow up with any degree of an educated upbringing!

I bought mine in America for half the price but it couldn't have been money better spent! It's not necessary to buy all the books that go with it because the book that's included in the price has more than enough activities and sounds on it's own! Top present if someone is stuck for something to buy for a baby!

Both of our sons love their Brio trains and track and so we thought we would buy a second battery train so the youngest could enjoy one. The other train (BRIO 33761 Wooden Railway System: Smart Track Engine) worked very well, was well designed and durable.
This train, however, has a flaw - the battery cover on the first train had a locating pin to stop the cover sliding forward and make it secure when it was screwed down into place. This one does not and as a result my wife cannot fit it at all and I have spent half an hour getting it to work. I take this type of equipment apart and put it back together again for a living and I can't do with this model what comes naturally with the earlier one!
Bad show Brio!
