Highly recommend! Keeps kids engaged and learning. My 8 yr old loves it and even my 13 yr old tries to play lol. Easily one of the best learning tools I have bought in the last 13 years! Highly recommend for children who are more advanced or even falling behind! Plenty of games to choose from as well!
I love the idea of the system and my daughter loves it. I was disappointed that ours came with a nick in the connector mat and black pieces on and through the box. It is a neat idea but I wish there were more games but my daughter seems okay with it.
Love the concept. Very engaging. However, received a used product. Some let’s were worn out and glitch with gamepad. I returned and ordered another one so hopefully it will be brand new and no glitches. I’ll come back and update again once I receive the new one.
My son adore this set and we picked up the keyboard addition and he loves that too. Super recommended.
But, big caveat. It’s a bit more fragile that it seems. The link blocks, magnetic hexagons in my photo, have popped open a few times and the magnets inside have fallen out. One is totally a casualty, the others I’ve tried to put back together and you can see I somehow screwed it up as it’s not magnetic anymore.
Contacting the seller shortly, hoping for a replacement but given it’s for four year olds + having neodymium magnets so easily accessible is concerning anyway. Hope they can solve in a revision.
We gifted this to our son for his 4th birthday. He absolutely loves it! It sparks imagination, creativity, and best of all it challenges him to think out of the box. The links were something I had very little expectations of; but they’ve been one of his favorites as they are so different than anything he’s ever done. Highly recommend!
My granddaughter loves this but the pace of advancement is slow with lots of repetitive problems but overall she uses it several times a week and loves the various ways she can chamge to different subjects
For long time I am tried to return and I could please let me no how to do it .
I bought by mistake .
My son absolutely loves it . It’s very educational and fun games for the kids
You need to get this. Buy it. Kid is hooked. It’s fun watching her learn from it. They did a fantastic job with the different levels associated with each pack. Good job guys , thanks for making such a great learning tool for children. It grows with your child. So worth it. Easy as heck to use.
I have a 3-year-old granddaughter who I lovingly call Wild Child. This keeps her occupied and is very adorable to stand up to her usage.
Our sons love the Ipad, but we try to limit the time. With this product they can enjoy themselves and give mom some peace and quiet while also learning. 5 year old enjoys it quite a bit.
My 5 y.o. daughter loves this interactive gaming system. It is very easy to setup. I wish there were storage for all of the pieces. We plan to purchase the other add ons in the future.
My son got this for Christmas. He LOVES it! It helps with reading, math, and logical thinking. He got the piano attachment as well. Great for struggling learners or enhancing digital learning.
My almost 5 year old loves this toy. It doesn’t fit great because of the otterbox on our ipad, otherwise what a great educational toy! It keeps him busy for spans of time which is always a win in my book!
This game is so much fun! My little is 4.5 and she loved playing the counting and the balance games. There were a couple times the balance one didn’t recognize she put something in the wrong spot (so she got frustrated) and the counting one was a little repetitive in the beginning but after a few times going through it it switched it up.
We got this for my 4 year old son for Christmas. He loves how easy it is to put together and take apart and loves all the games on it. My only complaint is sometimes the letters show up in the wrong spots or they don’t recognize the letter at all when I the tray.
My kids love this. I love this! I am so glad they made a bundle of all the games. I couldn’t choose which to get my boys for Christmas! I also got the catapult game as well separate. This is a great company with friendly customer service.
Bought this for the kids in my family. They just opened it yesterday and love it! Very engaging for math, spelling, and engineering games. Different profiles available based on school level. Great purchase.
I was skeptical of how well this would work due to reviews but can say that I 100% love it. I used my child’s Kindle Fire 7 and it had no problem recognizing it. I unboxed the 3 tools and downloaded the app. It was easy enough to set up each kids profile at their level and off we went. We started with the numbers one and they both enjoyed answering the questions and they got to choose which game to play. The link games are fun since they’re more of a puzzle in trying to figure out how many links you need to complete the tasks and move on. Lastly we tired the spelling and I was impressed. We did the Jungles OKO game and it was great in having them try to figure out how to spell each animal. We’ve only used it today but I see more learning and fun using this! We have Osmo little genius as well and I wish I knew about this before I purchased it b/c I wouldn’t have even bought the Osmo one.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! It’s simple enough my 5 year old can set it up herself and she loves coming home at night and working on her math or spelling and the building portion she is so confident in. Highly recommend.
A mi hijo le encanto y quiere seguir jugando, muy buen regalo, lo recomiendo.
I have 7 kids ages 3-10 and they’re all able to play at their own levels and have a great time!! If you have more than 1 kid I’d get 2 mats at least…
Perfect for children that just start learning words, my son love it and learning so much thanks..
This kit is great! My preschooler immediately started using the link game and has been playing for the last 15 minutes very happily. I think he and his sister will love all the games included. You can choose the difficulty of the games offered by age of the child playing. I do with the had more for their avatars but thT isn’t very important to the game.
This Plugo Link and Count interactive toy is amazing educational game for kids. My daughter love it so much. The kit includes a gamepad, 15 hexagonal blocks and a set of operators, numbers and count spike. Just need to install Plugo app and enjoy it!
This is an engaging game for kids. It provokes their imagination and creativity! I got the 2 in 1 STEM pack.
My daughter loves the math games and building gravity-defying-structures especially the latter one. My daughter becomes very concetrated when playing with game. It’s a great practice for concentration, critical thinking and spatial reasoninong. I love to see her fully engaged on solving math and structural challenges when playing with Shifu.
The whole set is nicely made and we’ll packaged. It worked ok on my old iPad 3. I had to delete many things in order to open up space for the app. But at the end it worked. If you have a newer iPad version with larger memory it should work smooth .
In conclusion, it’s lovely to see my daughter engaged and focused when working with Shifu. I highly recommend it.
Easy to play with and it challenges kids while playing, they love to use it.
Just brilliant.
It’s not cheap for what you get really. However, the kids seem to like it. Easy to set up and play, but does require adult input if using with younger children (Eg age 4) but it’s quite nice to sit and play and interact with the kids anyway. A little older/more independent and they’re ok. Nice for short spells of time as it does get a little repetitive over time. It’s something a little different anyway and they are learning in a fun way.
App and optical detection works well
Forced me to register with my email but that’s not unexpected now a days
Following applies to Letters part only since I am yet to use other 2 sections
No kid game should have only one of some letters. All letters should go up by 1 count.
Work story ratio should have even easier (pre-pre k) option because even if kid is older, they would benefit from more welcoming introduction stories.
Color and character selection is nice. Kids found it inviting.
I had to remove ipad cover for it to stick easily. It would work with cover but I was afraid it was squeezing it too much.
App was easy to navigate for kids
Overall design is kid friendly.
Plugo Link is better
Plugo count is good so far. We got pieces some had minor stains, unclear if from prior use or coincidence.
App uses way too much memory and game doesn’t accept new bigger size ipad
Easy to setup and use. Very interesting puzzles and challenges based on age/skill level. Extremely happy with the purchase
