Score: 87.3% What the testers said: “Easy to use and
understand, this had instant appeal to the children. They played with it for long periods of time and still ask to use it every day. The coloured screen was clear and easy to see and we liked that the pen was attached so it did not get lost! However, despite following the instructions, we were unable to download new games.”

Score: 87.0%
What the testers said: “A lovely idea – the children were very enthusiastic to play with it! Their favourite part was the music section, which they all danced along to. All the children wanted a go on the Leaptop so it definitely encouraged turn taking. However, I do think it is better suited to older children who would appreciate the concepts of email and blogging more.”

All the children enjoyed playing with it, babies played with the rubbery corner, which was good for mouthing, and the older children liked adding the different instruments to build up an orchestra. The Cube is brightly decorated, durable and easy to clean.”
