I ordered this toy and love it! My children play it several times a week and I love to play it with them. I even play it with my three year old! I just tell him what coins to press and how many times. It helps him learn the types of coins. I found this exact toy at Tuesday Morning for $[...].

 "Jump and Jam Review" 2009-01-22
By J. Collins (Laurel, MD United States)
The toy is probably best for children five and under. I found that my seven year old nephew was easilly able to identify and play the game. This was almost to the point of he becoming bored. However my four-year old nephew had to think about it more in terms of the sounds.



The only thing is that even though there are different games, there is not that much variation. The game tends to use the same sounds and shape references just to different music or speeds. Best for younger children.

 "Ok, not used much" 2008-07-24
By L. Hill (Florida)
My almost 3 year old received this for Christmas. He is now 3 and doesn't use it much. It is very durable. It's not much fun though. My son doesn't really play with it. The speaker on it is not very clear and how to get it to play games is a little off.

 "Fun and Educational" 2008-05-18
By the_littleminx (Oklahoma)
I would recommend this product for preschool aged kids. There are several game modes which help encourage physical activity and educational learning (animal recognition, animal sounds, colors, shapes). This is a fun game to play alone or to play with a friend. Easy to store, seems pretty durable, and was an immediate hit with our 2 year old and 4 year old. A great gift idea.

 "TOO SLIPPERY" 2008-01-16
By T. Moskovitz (cherry hill , nj)
The mat is great to teach shapes and animal sounds. My daughter loves it except she is falling all the time. The mat is too slippery and my daughter jumps from animal to animal and 9 out of 10 times falls. She thinks it is funny but I am not happy about it. We do not wear shoes in our house but I have her wear sneakers when doing this mat, which is inconvient.

 "Bad Playmat" 2008-01-13
By Sandra Huffines (Huntsville, AL)
My son did not enjoy this toy, the speaker volume was too low and the voice was boring and there was virtually no music to it. I liked the way it looked, and to it's credit it was sensitive to touch, but it just wasn't fun. I thought the sounds of the animals could be better and louder. This item was returned.

 "Just get a chalkboard!" 2008-01-15
By sam (seattle)
The computer is hard to understand and she is wrong sometimes, which is very frustrating to my five year old. The only use is he can pretend to be a teacher with the games off. The quality is a little bit shabby. i am not sure how long it will hold up.

 "Fun but limited" 2007-06-27
By PAH (Murphy, TX USA)
This is good for children learning their ABCs. The phonics part is limited because some of the sounds just cannot be distinguished. My children use it to teach their dolls and stuffed animals...so they have fun with it.

 "Not worth the money!" 2006-04-10
By suebee (NC.USA)
I was really disappointed when this item arrived. The concept is great and with improvement could be a wonderful learning tool.

It cannot be used by a child just wanting to hear letters or play by ones self. The product is used more like a game.

The person sounding out the phonics sounds like a robot and is very hard to understand....definately not teaching phonic sounds.

 "Nice, but a little expensive" 2009-01-17
By Coyote
The kids love it, but I think it was a little expensive for what you get.

 "Great toy. Programming is not intuitive. Limited Programming" 2008-12-26
By Kevin (Columbia MO)
It's a good product. A big limitation is that it can only leave one message to one phone number. If you want to change the message or the number you can do it, but the old message or number are erased. It seems pretty indestructible though.



For those that lost their instruction manual and are looking online, you may not find instructions.



Here is how to program a number:

Turn on and pick up the receiver

Press and hold the Program button while doing...

Press the # key

Press in the telephone number

Release the Program button

Press the # key again

Hang up the receiver



Here is how the record a message:

Turn on and take the receiver off the hook

Press and hold the record button and the program button

After you hear a beep, start recording your message (second beeps indicate the end of the recording time)

Release both buttons

Hang up the receiver

Verify by dialing the programmed number.

 "Great Teaching Phone..." 2008-12-19
By Julie A. Dallaire (usa)
I purchased this phone for my two year old for Christmas. I did research many products before I purchased the Pretend & Play Teaching Telephone. This teaching phone was exactly what I was looking for! It has so many great features. My son has not received the phone yet, but I am sure he will be as happy with it as I am.

 "Not working. Needs to return it" 2008-04-11
By Example Mark Twain
The toy is not working. Only the green on/off light is on, occasional beep, totally silent otherwise, no display. I changed the batteries to no effect.



Now I need to return it. Very disappointed. Will see how amazon customer service deal with this and write a final review.

 "Great--until it broke in the second week" 2008-02-12
By DadofTwo (Cleveland, OH USA)
This Learning Resource phone did in fact help my daughter learn our telephone number (helped by a incentive of a trip for ice cream when she did it)----and quite satisfactorily allowed a personalized recording of our voices to be waiting for her when she successfully dialed it (just the 7 digits---no area code).

I was looking forward to her playing with it for years---and then it broke. The entire middle row of numbers stopped "beeping" when pressed. I too, fancy myself as someone who can take apart and put things together---unscrewed the back and when I got it off, found the densely soldered network around the keypad unfixable (by me, anyway).

So, for the two weeks it worked, great!

And then it broke.

Rather disappointing overall.

 "Great Math Tool" 2010-02-05
By Marc Brown (Los Angeles, CA)
I tutor a boy who has trouble in math. We play this every time I tutor him and it has helped him with his basic math. It's GREAT for kids with high energy because they can jump around on the mat. I HIGHLY recommend this.

 "Educational & Fun" 2010-01-28
By Sheryl Redman (Hephzibah, GA)
The kids really enjoy this one, especially my grandson. It allows him to build speed at solving math problems while burning off some of that excess energy he always has. Great for rainy days when we're stuck inside!

 "Great Idea, Too Bad!" 2010-01-01
By Jessica A. Galbraith (Palo Alto Ca)
I bought this for my children for Christmas. I got it out and started playing it with them and they were all excited to play it but lost interest after they kept stepping accidentally on the "start over" button that is positioned right next to the number three. I covered it with my hand but they still lost their balance and hit it.

 "Fun Toy, but has its flaws" 2009-12-28
By Saito (Washington, DC)
I got it for my nephew and he loved it. He was happy to stomp around on the mat.

It is very colorful and the voice asking the questions is just about loud enough.

A few Cons: 1) Picture gives an impression of it being about 40% larger than it is, hence the boy inadvertently steps on the repeat the question or restart portion sometimes, although this could be an advantage if you have smaller space; 2) As in other reviews, it was confusing for the boy to see the numbers upside down, since he is inside the mat and sees the numbers in a strange way; 3) The voice could be louder, although it's fine generally.

Overall, though, I think it's a good product and I would recommend it.

 "good addition to our homeschool math curriculum" 2009-11-12
By Lisa
I got this last Christmas when the grandparents were all out of gift ideas. I figured it would be another "educational" toy that didn't get much use. And in fact, if I let it sit on the shelf, it doesn't see the light of day much. However, when my kids (5 and 7) are "doing" school, this is a welcome alternative to other math facts practice. I do need to direct its use a little, otherwise my son (5) has a tendency to pick the "numbers and counting" game, which is too easy. Then he gets bored and walks away. But if I ask him to play a round of addition or subtraction (particularly if I tell him the alternative would be to work in his math workbook), he follows through and seems to enjoy it. I suspect the gross motor aspect of this toy helps the information get lodged in there in a different way than other practice, so that's nice. I particularly like that level 1 covers math facts through 10, and level 2 through 20. This allows me to pick the right leve for both kids, without it being too easy or too hard. I think it is at the right level for both kids now, and we will likely get reasonable occasional use out of it for a couple of years to come.

 "Grandma's favorite toy." 2010-02-15
By M. Henry (Bellevue, WA USA)
I am a busy distractible grandma who bought herself a Time Tracker for Christmas. Very useful for timing chores, making phone calls, and budgeting my time in general. I do wish it could hold more than two programs at a time. I may buy a second one just to keep 4 programs without having to reset so often. DO keep the programing directions handy because you WILL forget how to do it. My 11 year old visiting grandson is fascinated by its programming and likes to use it for everything we do. We both wish we could put in our own sounds and not be limited to just the few available. Still, all in all, it has been even more useful than I expected and far more fun besides!

 "great to teach your kids to have a sense of time with this visual timer" 2010-01-02
By Slacker Mom - Just say No! (Chicago, Illinois United States)
Being someone that has very little sense of time when I'm not watching the clock, I love this product! It not only keeps me from having to nag when we are getting ready but it also teaches the kids how long 5 minutes really is... not the 5 minutes I would give them before when I would get distracted and many times it would really be 10 or even 20. We have been on time for school much more often and I can set the timer and get myself ready instead of having to call out cues constantly to keep the kids on track. This helps the kids focus and keep on track and it leaves more time to relax and enjoy. This is a must have for any parent that is time challenged! We use it to get ready in the morning, at bedtime, at dinner (when needed... takes it from a frustrating 30 minute battle to a 12 minute quick meal knowing the food goes away when the timer goes off), for homework when needed, to have cleaning races and for timed workouts. We love this thing! Do wish it were a little easier to set but not a big problem... even I can figure it out with the directions. It makes getting ready a race against the clock which is just much more fun!

 "A good tool with some flaws" 2009-12-18
By V. Mehring
My 5yo son saw the time tracker in a catalog and said he wanted it for his timeouts. I figured that since he was planning on having more timeouts I should support him in that, so I got it from Amazon which fortunately had a much lower price on it than the catalog.



It is great for him to have a visual representation of time ticking down. It helps a lot with transitions, especially getting ready for school. I can definitely tell the difference on days when we use it versus days when we forget. I can tell him that while it's green he can play, when it's yellow he has to get dressed, and when it's red we should be getting in the car. This alone makes it a valuable tool in our household, and I would recommend it. Remarkably, it has withstood some pretty rough handling from my two kids, and although it makes an ominous rattle now after two falls, it still works. It's very helpful that on the manual setting you can choose just how long each section is. I know my son can get dressed in under ten minutes when I stick a pack of frozen corn in his shorts, so I make the yellow section just long enough for that.



That said, there are some problems. My son has a hearing sensitivity (sensory processing disorder) and he absolutely can't stand the sound effects. Fortunately there is a volume control, and this helps him tolerate it. (I choose to use the sounds even though he hates it because it encourages him to pay attention.) A wider selection of sound effects, with some gentler sounds, would be nice. Also, there is no way to choose the sound it makes as it goes from yellow to red. It just beeps once, which is easy to miss if you aren't in the same room as the time tracker.



And as many others have said, the time tracker is a pain in the butt to program. I've done it a lot, so I am pretty good at it now, but my husband refuses to use the thing for the bedtime routine. He says it's 'not intuitive.' Oddly enough, he's the techie of the family, so I really mock him for this, but I do have to agree. You need to have the instruction manual handy the first couple dozen times you change the settings. I had to do this every time at first, because I had intended to use the a/c adapter, not batteries. Since I never opened the battery compartment I didn't find that tiny piece of paper between the two backup batteries that prevented the settings from being saved. Practice makes prefect, or at least good enough.

 "Wonderful Way To Make Consistent Time Outs" 2009-11-12
By NDM (Virginia)
After reading many of the negative reviews on the Learning Resource Time Tracker, I was hesitant to buy it thinking it would break right out of the box. Not true at all. In fact, while it is not the most quality product I've ever purchased for my 2 1/2 year old son, it is definitely not the worst. It is what it is...and it does what it does...and it does both very well.



I first saw the product on Nanny 911 and I did think about it again until I started having difficulty keeping my son in his time out spot without having to sit right next to him to keep him there. I combined the Time Tracker with the Take Out Time Out mat (overpriced, but cute) and now I hardly have any problems with him finishing his time outs. He thinks time outs are interesting now and he cannot wait to finish and hear the "Time's Up!" announcement so he can play again, while knowing that we are happy with him for doing his duty.



While the Time Tracker may not be the easiest thing to program, as others have said, once you do it once it's pretty easy. I have gotten so used to it that I can change the timer from time out, to nap time, to overnight sleep time in less than a minute. I set it to all green on "manual setting" and only make it turn yellow for the last 50 seconds, and red the last 10 seconds. Seriously, those reviewers who say it's difficult are simply techno-phobic or lazy. It's not hard and all...and my son loves knowing that there is a set time on all of his duties. Hearing "Time's Up!" is one of his favorite things now.



Finally, again on quality, this is not a toy. Do not let your kids play with it or it will cease to work. Let them see it, touch it, but only once. Tell them it is not a toy and keep it out of reach. It will break if dropped, so my solution is to not drop it. Problem solved.



Get this product. It's pretty darn cool...

 "Done on time!" 2009-11-02
By Donna M. Jones (Superior, WI)
I have used this to help my 12 year old get ready for school. At a glance he can see how much time he has. It is also great for my 5 and 3 year old who cannot tell time yet. I use it for time outs and homeschooling. Definately a good buy. It is durable. It has been dropped and thrown and still works fine.

 "Great." 2009-11-13
By Dobrin'a
For quite some time I've been searching for a toy medical kit for my 6-yr old to play with. This one turned out to be nicely equipped and rather durable too. All components seem to be well made and allow enough room for kid's imagination. Good deal for the money.

 "Good enough" 2009-10-03
By Brent Verdin
What i wanted from this toy was the ability to role play and just have fun, and it does both quite well. Ok, maybe the quality might be better, as a matter of fact the cellphone didn't work, but somehow we got over this fact and my son just loves it. That's all i care about. He uses his pager as a cellphone, so problem fixed!!! Now i have to be sick 50 times a day in order for him to "fix" me.

 "great fun for the little ones" 2009-08-31
By Betty J. Menerey (Auburn, MI United States)
My granddaughter having great fun at 3 with this kit. The items seem to sturdy. The fall back is that there is a lot of small items that can easily get lost. The bandages are worthless, as they are too small to put on anything except the fingers. The stetacope is great with the heart beat or cough sounds. Great for the money.

 "Great toy" 2009-08-15
By NW Novice (N.W.)
My grand-daughter has been having alot of fun taking temps. checking blood pressures and looking in everyones mouth and ears. Great toy.

 "disappointing" 2009-07-10
By K. Lawrence
The blood pressure cuff snapped the first time my son played with it, it's made of cheap plastic. The stethoscope doesn't even really work, it's just a cheap noise maker that makes unrealistic fake heartbeat noises. There are no compartments for the toys, they all just get thrown into this plastic container when the child is done playing with it.



For the price, the quality of this product is very poor. It's all cheap plastic and breaks easily.
