Kid Tested: Fisher-Price 3-in-1 Smart Sports
Fisher-Price's 3-in-1 Smart Sports game is an TV-interactive system that lets kids choose from three sports—baseball, tennis or golf. With similar principles as the Wii, this sports pack is a creative way for kids to get some exercise while they're learning numbers & counting, addition & subtraction, uppercase & lowercase letters, spelling and shapes.
Out of the box, my oldest son was really excited. In less than 10 minutes, I had the batteries installed(6AA) and the game hooked up to the TV.
Just like the Wii, the sports attachments are made of foam. This, along with the wrist strap, will ensure that a flying bat or golf club won't do permanent damage to your TV or a child who is sitting close by.
Smart Sports has 9 different activities for kids to do. I like that the game makes your child think before they swing. It will ask things like 'only hit the red balls' or the ones marked with the number 8. Making each game both fun and engaging.
Fisher-Price recommends this system for kids aged 3-7, I think 3-5 may be more appropriate because some of the tasks may not be challenging enough for someone 6 or 7.
Fisher-Price's 3-in-1 Smart Sports system has been a big hit with my son and a bit of a life saver for me. It gives my energizer bunny an outlet to burn off some of his energy on a rainy or crummy day.
