(More customer reviews)Imagination Desk by LeapFrog
I purchased this portable coloring desk for my three year old daughter last Christmas who said "oooh, neat" then promptly set it aside as she became entranced with other trendier, flashier toys. A year later the majority of those flashy toys now reside in the bottom of her toy box while this desk gets trotted out almost daily. I have purchased several additional coloring pages along with the "On The Farm" cartridge because she loves it so much.
I like the fact that while she's coloring the cute and educational pages the toy "speaks" to her and teaches her important things like letters and numbers or, if she's in the mood, she can flick the switch and play a game (my six year old son prefers this button) or even have a song that matches the coloring sheet sung to her in a cute little voice. It's also very portable with a nifty little slot for the coloring pages and a holder for her crayons though I do wish it had a spot for extra cartridges (I solved this problem by buying her a companion tote for everything). And, after one year of constant use I still haven't had to replace batteries!
My only beef with this toy is that the plastic holder that you lift up to put in your coloring sheet often comes right off! The crayon holder cover also has this same problem. It is also difficult for little hands (and my slightly older ones!) to get the paper holder into the correct little grooves so the product will speak. My daughter cannot do this most times and even I sometimes have to try 3-4 times before I get it in correctly.
This toy is a great investment if you have a child who enjoys coloring. It may not get you that initial "wow!" when it's first opened (it's not Barbie or Pokemon, after all) but I can almost guarantee that it won't become another unused and lonely toy added to the collection sitting in the bottom of child's toy box. ~ Laurie Shallah
