Fisher Price Fun-2-Learn Cool School
The Cool School is an educational toy that is sure to capture your child’s attention. I came across it last year in a magazine and it looked really interesting. So we made the purchase and have loved it ever since. In our house we judge a toy by how long the kids are amused by it, and I’m happy to say that we’ve owned this toy for over 6 months and our kids are still thoroughly entertained by it. It teaches them letters, numbers, music, drawing, and many other skills all in the form of fun games featuring their favorite cartoon characters. Favorites in our household include Scooby Doo and Spongebob.
How does it work? Plug it in to a computer via a USB connection. Kids use the keyboard and stylus pen to interact with the games.
What software is available? The Cool School does come with one software title out of the box. Additional titles are available for about $16 a piece. Available titles include Spongebob, Scooby Doo, Dora & Diego, Clifford and Elmo. Each disc comes with unique games, activities and stories.
Do you have a separate computer for the kids to use it?
Can the writing pad be placed on either side of the keyboard for a left-handed child?
Cool site!!!
We have several old computers in the house, so yes, the kids have their own but we also have it installed on the computer that we have connected to the TV. The stylus pad is fixed so it can’t be moved. Thanks for the great questions!
