Our Thoughts
I was interested in the Smart Play Pad for my son.  He is 4, and is special needs with speech and motor apraxia.  One of the things we'd eventually like to do for his speech therapy is get him an ipad or a tablet as there is a great app that utilizes (touch screen) buttons to talk for him.  But, being as he is a typical 4yr old under the special needs, we need something to practice on before investing a lot of money in something that he could easily break.  He loves the mobile devices the therapists use with him!!

Since he's already learning his numbers, alphabet, and words the Smart Play Pad is perfect for this!  He has to learn to touch the buttons on the screen; they are not physical buttons he can feel.  He might have low fine motor skills, but it didn't take him long to figure this one out!  He was excited to play with this toy!! And I'm glad to see that the Smart Play Pad is so durable, LOL, because my kid is rough on his toys!


Ingenio offers a wide range of bilingual educational toys, from flashcards, to puzzles,  even magnets - all great gift ideas for the holidays!!

I learned that the best time to learn a second language is during the early years when a young mind is most open to language acquisition.
