Draw a keyboard, and you can compose a song. All the while, the pen talks to you. Besides math and music, it comes with games and puzzles. Other software cartridges, such as a Spanish translator, are available. Fun for girls and boys from tweens to young teens. Its ear buds can be easily packed up in the backpack for school.

Bottom line: A very cool application of technology in a $100 toy that teaches and plays. The curious, creative, and technology-minded kids will find hours of fun. The special paper required means you have to keep buying some supplies. Make sure to spend a little more and get the recharger pad.
