Cheap Playskool Alphie Booster Pack Exploring Food

Customer Ratings:

We bought this as a stocking stuffer for the great price of $3.99. I am glad I didn't pay more; we already had Alphie so we thought this would be a nice addition to our little robot. The food cards are not as fun as the original cards but they are okay. We are big foodies in this house and love to cook, but something about a robot and food education just isn't SUPER fun. Probably wouldn't buy this as a gift and definitely wouldn't pay more than $4 for this.

My grandson has severe food allergies and this pack has really helped him understand what food is. It can be very difficult explaining to young children that everything in the sore is OK to eat, when it is not OK for THEM to eat it. It really has helped my daughter explain to him the different things that are food. It even led her to take him to a very large Asian market where 90% of the items were indeed food, but not any that she recognized. Alfie can teach adults too!

Not all of the suggestions on these cards may apply to you. For example, one card asks kids "what is a light snack before bedtime that won't fill you up?"and the answer is yogurt. We eat high protein Greek yogurt so I think of yogurt as a very filling meal! Also my son has a peanut allergy so telling us that a peanut butter sandwich is a great snack before soccer game just doesn't apply but I don't hold that against them!

Over all this set has some great food tips and info. Some unusual foods that I would not even think to show my kids (like tiramisu) and even a card on steps how to brush your teeth! A card talks about the pit/seed in different fruits. We haven't gone through all cards yet but so far I am pretty happy! My son is 3.5 he will sith and answer questions and learn...daughter is 20 months and just wants to push the flashing buttons. A conversation starter for all of us though even if they just poke all the buttons. My son loves the sound effects too.

Honest reviews on Playskool Alphie Booster Pack Exploring Food

I was able to get this for a fraction of the cost of other sites. I was able to equip Alphie with many learning packs for cheap on Amazon. The service is the best and the products are first quality brand names.

My kids love the Alphie robot. The food booster pack is fun, and does touch a little bit on health. The cards are double sided and have a good variety.

As with any Alphia card set, it's mostly quiz, "find this" or "match this." Kids learn by trial and error, not direct instruction. If you get it wrong, Alphie tells you why it was wrong and lets you try again.

Do be careful what age you give this to; my 4-year-old spread the cards out all over and ripped a couple, so supervision is recommended. A couple folded cards did still work, as long as the pattern on the bottom wasn't damaged. The cool thing about Alphie is he can read the grey and black pattern on the bottom of each card and know which one is in.

The only thing I don't like are the tiny cartridges. The food cards are green on top, matching the green card you have to put in for him to have the data he needs to read the cards. Without the green cartridge, we can't use the green cards, so make sure you don't lose that part!! Each set of cards is a different color, but Alphie does NOT save anything off the cartridge into the robot itself; you need the cartridge each time. This is al early start to responsibility, though, because obviously video games are like this, but so are some other toys.

The robot itself is very durable, and the cartridge is strong as long as you don't smash it (we haven't broken one yet, just lost one), but the cards themselves are like thinly-laminated index cards, and can rip if the child is rough. one set of cards can be stored in Alphie's back. I like the toy overall, but if you don't want cards all over the house, either get a tidy kid or a different toy. ;)
