If you are looking for a great video game that not only provides a fun way to exercise, but also teaches, then you will want to buy the Fisher-Price Smart Cycle Racer Physical Learning Arcade System. This game is oriented towards children aged 36 months to six years old.
With the Smart Cycle 3.0 you will turn your living room, family room, or den into a learning arcade. Simply plug the Smart Cycle Racer directly to your television, insert the cartridge provided in the slot at the side of the bike, and you are ready to go. The Smart Cycle isn’t just a bicycle. It allows the user to select his or her vehicle. Choices include a quad bike, a bus, and a racecar. Then the child can select the color and decorations he or she would like to see on his/her vehicle. There is always the option to make no selection and let the game choose for you. A friendly, talking bus will help to guide your child.
As they pedal through various learning environments, children will encounter friendly characters to guide them through games, learning discoveries, and exciting races. The faster they pedal, the faster their vehicle moves. The Smart Cycle Racer comes with the Learning Journey Game cartridge. Other cartridges are available once your child has mastered this one. With the Learning Journey cartridge your child will travel to exciting destinations such as: Math Mountain, Shape Lake, Number Fields, Letter Creek and other stops along the way. The games teach rudimentary number and letter skills such as counting, problem solving, distinguishing upper and lower case letter, spelling, problem solving, and spatial reasoning. As your child advances there are increasingly difficult levels to continue to challenge his or her intellect and keep your child learning. And throughout the games, your child will receive encouragement and help from their favorite characters. The Smart Cycle also teaches motor skills requiring your child to use the handlebars to steer towards letters, numbers, or shapes in order to “catch” them.
This makes a great gift for your child if you want to increase their activity level. One of the greatest problems parents face is the myriad of fun toys which are designed to be played by a sedentary child. With the Smart Cycle, your child will be busy burning off all that excess energy while learning new and exciting concepts. It’s a toy for both the mind and the body.
Note that you will have to assemble the bike ahead of time if you want your child to play with it when he or she opens it. Requires 4 D batteries, not included.
This is a truly fun education toy/game for the younger child in your life. If you want to get an education toy that promotes fitness as well, you will want to buy the Fisher-Price Smart Cycle Racer.
