There are fun treatments for selfies and pictures of friends the kids will love, and it is simple to scroll through and delete. They are basic simple games that will actually improve some of her motor skills (imo) Intetesting enough that she will want to play them sometimes but not overly absorbing. Perfect for those times on vacation when photos aren't being taken but a child needs to be occupued (on a bus or train for example... Why bring an extra toy?). The games give you the option of toggling for control or tipping the whole unit right left up or down."
"We're working with her to wait until she hears the shutter noise, but I don't think that it is abnormal to expect toddlers to push a button and expect instant results. I'd still recommend the camera, especially for older children who can wait a couple seconds until they hear the shutter sound to check their photos."
"The camera alone is worth 4-stars - the photography features work well, with fun overlays and transformations for both photos and videos. My daughter was not rough at all, but after 4 months the camera developed a defect such that it shuts off randomly during use, sometimes within seconds - making the camera now unusable. They claim the Amazon "Online Exclusive" product carries the 90-day warranty of their US products - although this product is not sold by VTech America, and their US customer service won't respond to inquiry about this product."

"If your little one loves taking photos, don't hesitate."
"He loves this camera."
"I like that it has internal storage and also I can limit the time she spends playing games."
"Pretty good pictures for a kid camera, way better than expected."
"It is a little hard for him to get into the games and then to play the games, they are not very good tbh."
"Is very resistant too... my husband forgot it on top of the car and drove away... the thing rolled on concrete, the batteries fell out and it got one scratch!"
"Well packaged and shipped promptly."

This doesn't have to be a bad thing, it can be an opportunity for you to explain to your child about how the camera works, and how you need to hold it still while taking a picture."
"Each side of the camera is coated with rubber that insures a good grip and protection in case the camera is dropped. The camera options include: Camera, Video Recorder, Playback, Voice Recorder, Downloads, Games, Creative Tools (includes a photo editor and animation maker), and settings. Unless your child is a budding Ansel Adams chances are their camera will be filled with a lot of pictures of carpets, walls, and blurred figures until they learn they need to remain stationary while taking pictures. I'm pretty sure my kids don't know the meaning of the word off so I really appreciate that there is an automatic shutoff on the camera that shuts the camera off after a couple minutes of non use."
"She has shown an 'eye' for photography, using her aunt's cell phone camera, so I thought this might give her a way to develop this skill."
"This camera was one of the best purchases we've made for our kids (aged 4 and 2)."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Great Touch Activity Desk for learning all sorts of things. A few things to note: the child needs to learn not to lean on/touch the table other than when they are intentionally touching/interacting with it. The table is very sensitive - you don't push the buttons, you just touch it - so it goes all haywire when she's leaning on it. It might be nice if they gave a little border at the front so kids can lean on it/put their hands somewhere - and have the buttons further up. Older children can be taught to be careful - but my 2 year old wouldn't know until she got hurt. The stool and table are quite strong and sturdy due to the legs bending out - so it has a nice wide base. Personally, my 2 year old needs some more growing up and calming down before she can really take advantage of this product, but there's no doubt that she can learn a lot from it."
"So if you buy this watch the fingers when they pull the table back down to play."
"He had the original Touch and Learn Activity Desk which was one of his favorite toys; however, the new expansion packs only fit this new desk. The desk is very interactive and holds my toddler's attention for very long periods of time."
"Music Jammer with colorful keyboard and different musical instruments, plus music genres (jazz, hip-hop, rock, pop, R&B). 5. Fruits & Colors. Yes, there is an OFF button, Parents - but, unfortunately, it's easy enough for a child to turn it back on. There is a clear female voice that gives directions, sings, and in other ways interacts with the child."
"Touch pad seems a little dull, but with a kids toy maybe that’s better than being super sensitive?"
"He even eats there now because she can't convince him half the time to stop playing with it."
"We got this because my 3 year old is getting more curious about learning and thought he should get something other than dinos."
"However, after about an hour of play, it started catching on the letter “x”."

"We had an older version of this desk - this one does so much more...and the expansion packs are great so that older kids can enjoy it too."
