The tablet allows you to discover cause and effect relationships. During exploration, it activates both handles thanks to the even arrangement of the keys. The luminous element located around attracts the child's eye and easily focuses on the field of attention. The tablet responds with words, fun sounds and melodies. It does not make sudden and violent sounds, does not cause fear reactions in children. Encourages imitation play, e.g. "Quick, quack! Will you quack like a duck?" - these are onomatopoeic expressions adapted to the skills of a small child.

Comments from testers

Sylwia, Lilia's mother (12 months)

The sound of the tablet is very pleasant to the ears, nice colors, the daughter likes to push buttons and dances to the music. She is interested in the sounds they make, such as those of animals. The product is very durable, we dropped it several times and nothing happened to it.

Basia, mother of Krzyś (3,9 years old)

The child liked the product very much, but I don't like toys that imitate computers and telephones, although all adult equipment is always interesting for children. I give 5 stars because the toy really worked, despite my doubts.

Małgorzata, Lena's mother (2,5 years old)

My daughter loves this toy and goes to school with it.

Joanna, mother of Marysia (2,8 years old)
