Kintropy In Action

It is a cool toy. Unfortunately, I don't think they marketed well. It has this big screen in the middle and huge cartridges for licensed characters. When I first saw it I thought it was just a player that rolled preprinted scrolls back and forth along to music. I was wrong. The screen in the middle is a touch screen and it responses to whatever in the picture you are pointing at.

Hannah loves this toy. She will lay prone to it and sign for it to sing then hit at the screen. She will stay focused on it for hours. If she finds a cartridge she hits at it to do the same thing.

So the reason we need a new one is. Hannah's sign for singing is unconventional, she beats at her mouth. This causes the saliva to flow. So after about a year of use it has a short and will stay on one note in annoying siren type sound.

One of the problems I had with this toy's marketing is it was only available at Toys R Us. That is a pretty far drive for us. They are usually not as available to the toy buying market as say a Target is. The other on problem was the original display didn't show the touch screen application so I believe many people wrote it off like I did originally.

So, Toys R Us was out and it looked like it was being discontinued. “Sigh!” So I called Zadie, Hannah's Grandfather and presented him with the mission. Because I had heard that another store in the state might have a few left. Zadie ended up finding a couple on line. They are really cool they have Laurie Berkner Cartridge in them. I'm hoping that Fisher Price is just making way for this version in the stores.

P.S. Hannah's speech specialist thinks I should do a review of toys on how well they work for Hannah. Would any of you find this useful?
