User questions & answers

Question:	How sturdy is this thing? Some of the other vtech plastic toys my son has had have felt pretty flimsy, and my concern is that it will fall apart
Answer:	When the activity desk is purchased it does not come with cartridge. But expansion packs come with cartridges, I can't say for sure that the music sheet one definitely has a cartridge but it should say on the box what it includes
Question:	Does this come with a cartridge for the music sheet? It's telling me to insert one but i don't have it
Answer:	Hi, unfortunately it only has one language which is English. It might also help your daughter with basic English because it has a lot of educational songs like ABC , numbers, shapes, colors and more. My family is French speaking too but my kids are enjoying it. Hope it helps
Question:	Hey, i’m interested about this product. but i want to know if it have language setting ? because my daughter only speaks french
Answer:	The expansion pack sheets is are not the only difference. I own the standard original, and accidentally bought the expansion sheets for the deluxe desk. The slot to insert the sheets is not compatible for both desks, so my 32 sheets are useless (on the standard desk). Also, if you notice the top display on the deluxe, there is a place to insert cartridges as well. The standard doesn’t have a place for that. The cartridges remind me of small square versions of the first ever Nintendo games. Since I have the original desk I haven’t been able to use it yet, but I’ll be buying the deluxe soon. My daughter (2yrs 3months old) has learned probably 95% of the original desk sheets to the point of memorization. She got this as a present for xmas, at 1yr 11 months old, and it was her favorite daily thing to do until memorized.
Question:	is the only difference between the deluxe edition and standard edition is the you can buy more expansion games for the deluxe edition
Answer:	I would say about 4 inches long +/- 1/2 inch, 3 inches high +/- 1/2 inch and 2 inches wide. That's an estimate.

User questions & answers

Question:	If I wait till cyber Monday will it be here in time for Christmas
Answer:	The house is nice and we used it for a cat too. But we wrapped the inside with plastic and a type of insulation that is kind of like drywall. The walls is are not air tight and would let drafts and such in. Jerry is a male diva too.
Question:	Is this bpa free
Answer:	I am about to purchase this to replace a cedar dog house that has survived for 15 years. I also have a cedar shed of about the same age. I weather-proofed it by applying a wood stain, which I'd recommend over sealing the wood because cedar is a great flea and tick repellent. I'd say go to Lowe's or Home Depot and ask in the paint department for a recommendation on what to use with cedar. Whatever you use, it should be renewed every few years to maintain efficiency.
Question:	Where is toy manufactured
Answer:	Yes, it can. The porch provides no structural function to the main house.
Question:	Is this okay for a one year old
Answer:	Hello, I think that this would be okay for baby pygmy goats, but I would worry that they would not be able to fit through the door as they get older, and wider. The doors are 12.75" Wide so I would measure your goats to make sure they'll be able to comfortably get into the house. Thank you

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this compare to the Leapfrog laptop? My son is 16 months and I'm trying to see which would be more beneficial for him learning his alphabet
Answer:	I purchased this for my son when he was around that same age. The keys were difficult for his little fingers to press and the activities were a bit complex, so I purchased him the leapfrog laptop, which has raised keys, a larger screen, and simpler activities. The alphabet program gives a letter, makes its sound and gives an example of a word that starts with it. When it says, "rrrrrrrr", he always laughs. The tablet is for older kids. My son's 4-year-old cousin was more of the age to enjoy it.
Question:	is it a back lighted screen
Answer:	It changes colors. But without the backlight, no. There is a light button on it, and has 4 colors I think!
Question:	Why is there a pink tax on this item
Answer:	For those who do not know what a pink tax is, it's when things cost more for females than the same thing costs for men, i.e., haircuts, dry cleaning, shirts/blouses, etc etc etc. The pink laptop costs several dollars more than the black one, which traditionally would mean that the one "for girls" has a "pink tax" added just because it's for girls.
Question:	What are the recommended ages for this toy
Answer:	2-5, but I think the sweet spot is really 2.5-3.5 or maybe up to 4.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a way to disable the games? Love the camera, but don't want my kids having access to games all the time
Answer:	I don't think you can disable the games on this model, but the kidizoom duo or duo deluxe have that as an option. They also cost a bit more, but might be worth it if you don't want the games.
Question:	Would this be a good camera for an adult that shakes and has artritus ?? And is also prone to dropping things
Answer:	It has a nice wide grip to easily handle and is very durable - taking drops on the ground is no problem with this camera. However, it is very kid focused so has additional features that might not be of interest such as games. I have not yet had any photos printed so not sure about the image quality. I would also recommend the waterproof durable camera: https://www.amazon.com/PowerLead-Digital-Waterproof-Underwater-Zoom-Red/dp/B018GGTE2E/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1474311615&sr=8-8&keywords=durable+camera
Question:	Two questions, please. 1. What is the largest Micro SD card I can put in? 2. I put in a 16GB card, formatted it with the camera. but only got 14.4GB
Answer:	1. Kidizoom Camera™ supports up to a 2GB Secure Digital (SD) memory card 2. From my experience, what ever the storage space says its always a little less. Hope that helps.
Question:	Does it record sound
Answer:	Yes it can do little snippets.

User questions & answers

Question:	One review complained that this needs to connect to a computer, however I do not see that in the description. Can this be clarified... batteries only
Answer:	The crystals do not need light to grow so you could place them inside a cabinet if that is easier. If you choose this method, you may want to leave them an extra couple days. (we leave ours for 30 days resulting in 1 1/2"-2" points)
Question:	Is this too young for a 2.5 year old
Answer:	If you have additional powder, you should be able to grow an additional crystal reusing the seed rock.
Question:	Does this require a computer download of any kind
Answer:	Our Crystals can be handled once they are grown. We do recommend washing hands after contact. For more information please contact us directly at [email protected]
Question:	Is this appropriate for a 1 year old
Answer:	Left undisturbed, you should see crystals begin to form within a day or two and full growth between 7-21 days depending on location and temperature.
