I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old daughter, hoping that this would help her with learing how to write her ABC's. It does seem to show you how to write letters, but unless you put enough pressure with the stylus AND write the letters EXACTLY the computer will not recognize them. My daughter was really excited when she got it....but is now pure frustration because she cannot write the letter exactly. Very dissappointed with this toy!
