I am a child of the 80’s, so I remember having an Alphie the robot
toy of my own. When I was given the chance to get an Alphie for my 4 year old, Quinn, to try, I was more excited than he was. Alphie was THE toy to have when I was a kid, and I just knew Quinn would love having one as well.I was right. From the first moment he laid eyes on Alphie, he was excited. He has played with his amazing, fun learning toy daily since he opened it. Alphie by Playskool is funny, interactive, and teaches children a variety of lessons from alphabet to music to matching. Quinn has already learned a ton from Alphie and I am very pleased with the way Alphie “teaches”. I have to admit, I have been caught playing with Alphie myself because he’s so cute, comedic, and engaging.
Alphie is recommended for children ages 3 and up. He comes with 30 double-sided cards that cover much of what a preschooler needs to know as a very basic foundation for kindergarten. Alphie Booster packs
are available to purchase separately. This toy runs on 3 "AA" batteries, which are included, so your child can start learning right away.
You can find Alphie
at most major retailers including the Hasbro Toy Shop, Toys "R" Us, Walmart, Target, and Amazon.com. He retails for $39.99. Also, if you own an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you can snag the Alphie Learning Adventures iTunes App for free on the iTunes website.Thank you to Hasbro Playskool for providing a complimentary product sample for us to base this review upon.
