Color Pixter?

[JetsFan73]

Anyone getting or already have the Color Pixter for their kids? My DD is almost 2 1/2 and she is more like a 3 1/2 yr old. Just curious if the Pixter is too advanced for her? Or will it be a good toy to grow into?

My then 10yr old DD wanted one last year......

I think she's about 10 seconds from outgrowing it but I think at 3 your daughter will get much more use out of it. They have easier software for little ones.

I would get the carrying case for it since the screen could get scratched.

We have the first one that came out and my daughters 4 and 6 still play with it.

I need to get one for my 5 year old DS. Unfortunatly my lovable but mainly terrible 2-1/2 year old son threw it last night and broke the screen. Both were histerical crying.

JetsFan, do you know how much they are, he had the b/w one but thought I would get him the color one this time. He really loves it and plays with it all the time.

my son has a B&W one...he got it last year (he was 3.5 yo at the time)...he loves it and is getting the color this year

and to answer another question in the thread

I think they are $70 to $80

Be careful if your child is a lefty. My son had one, and it was not lefty friendly. The string that attached the stylus to the Pixter was too short. I don't know if Fisher Price ever changed this (we had one of the early versions - I did call & complain).

What is a good price for mini-pixters? I saw them for 11.99- are they any fun?

I bought a b/w one for my dd's 8th b-day and all of my kids, 8,7,5 and 3 year olds all play with it, but we haven't tried the color one yet, it looks really cool and my dd wants one, but it's soooo expensive


Oh, and my dd is left-handed, too, and she didn't have a problem with it so maybe FP fixed it. ?? They had already come out with the color one when we bought the b/w one.

My DD's both 6 got the black and white one when they were 4 and still play with it. The Color Pixter is on thier "Santa List" and I got it for them. They also just came out with a neat Digital camera attatchment that goes with it this year, so they are getting that too. My girls were 4 when they got it so your 3 1/2 year old should like it fine if she is older for her age!

Where is the picture in your signature taken. If that the new princess room in Toontown?

My youngest is a lefty and doesn't have a problem...we also have the first version.
