Speak & Spell Educational Learning Toy, Spelling Games, 80s Retro Handheld

This is a day one review but I can say the size shape and playability of this toy is perfect. Takes me right back to 1976 (GenX here). The 8 year old boy is fascinated with it and enjoys the changeable game cards on the back. Perfect toy to push summer boredom away for a while. Would be a great road trip toy. Seems well made and sturdy for a plastic toy. Definitely age 8 and up.

Engaging, calming and fun. Well made for the money. Size is good for kids and adults. Versatile back grounds to change out. Not heavy and is portable in the car, trips. Doesn’t leak water. Will by more.

Very nostalgic! The grandkids loved them

My grandparents had these at their house when we were kids. While not the exact same, it was pretty close. Unfortunately the top part leaks a tiny bit when you tip it over to reset the game, otherwise, very pleased

Bought this for my mom with dementia. It's actually fun to watch her play this little game. The brain is so confusing sometimes. Can't remember wait she ate five minutes ago but remembers how to play this old school game. Happy purchase.

Fun nostalgia- almost as good as the original. Cost though - much better electronic teachers out there, and speak clearer.

I bought the classic Speak & Spell for Harper on a whim, mostly for the nostalgia, but it’s honestly become one of my favorite purchases. Yes, it helps with spelling and listening skills, but what surprised me most was the “grit” it teaches. Kids today rarely have to truly lose or start over. In the 80s and 90s, if you lost at a game like Mario Bros., you started from the beginning and figured it out. This toy brings a little bit of that perseverance back. Harper has to slow down, think, try again, and work through mistakes instead of instantly getting rewarded. It’s simple, old-school, and refreshing. Educational without feeling overstimulating. Highly recommend for parents who want both learning and a little resilience-building mixed in.

A lot of students struggle with spelling. My kids will use this at dismissal and arrival time. Great Prime Day deal.

Me encanta este speak n spell es mejor que la otra edición y las versiones originales de los 80s

My son loves this. It was exactly as described!

Increíble y muy útil

Sounds like the original and works well. Only thing different from the original is it’s much lighter.

Nostalgia at its peak. Great option, many educational programs built in. Internet free and safe toy.
