Little Tikes Story Dream Machine Starter Set, Storytime, Books, Little Golden Book, Audio Play, The Poky Little Puppy Character, Nightlight, Toy Gift for Toddlers and Kids Girls Boys Ages 3+

Bought this for my grandson a couple years ago and he still loves it as much as the day he got it. It is so easy to use and perfect to take with you on the go. You can point it at any light colored surface. This has been money well spent.

My granddaughter loves her projector. I bought it as a gift for Christmas two years ago and she still uses it. I send her new book packs as surprises and she gets so excited. I get excited to share some of my own favorites childhood stories with her.

The hello kitty 10 ‘’ backpack is great! My granddaughter loves it! My daughter said it was super cute. My granddaughter lives four hours away. She is so happy to get this. It’s a home run!

I bought this for my granddaughter’s 2 year old birthday. I wasn’t sure how much it would get used. We just recently bought three more sets of stories. Her 4 year old sister operates easily. They love it!

Purchased for my niece when she was 4, she loves it still, and she is 5 now. Perfect for bedtime!

My kids LOVE this. It’s a little hard for my 2.5 yo to use but my 5 yo can operate it just fine.The battery runs out fast! So better to use rechargeable ones. And the slides will slightly unfocus as it goes through the book…but not enough to bother my kids.

My little one loves this! He’s not quite two yet and likes to carry it around the house. It’s very durable! I would recommend 2+ as his attention span is not quite there to sit through a whole book yet. My 4 year old loves it as well!

UPDATE (4/25/2025): 9 months later and we love this machine! It's become a bedtime staple. All the cassettes we own (I have 15) are still working great. Nothing has broken yet! It is important to note that audio issues and flickering can happen if the batteries are low.Couple things outright: it's a very lowtech device. It only has 5 buttons (six if you count that you can push the light on top to turn it on and off). The cartridges themselfs are plastic squares with "view master" style transparent film. It's really only a projector that reads the stories, so it has to be used in a darker room and it doesn't have a crazy range of distance before the image is slightly blurry no matter what. But that's EXACTLY what I wanted. I didn't want another screen or something that requires a ton of setup.PROS:-It's extremely easy to use (so a little kid could DEFINITELY figure this thing out solo)-takes AA batteries. My sister has had hers for months and hasn't had to change the batteries yet.-sturdy, like REALLY sturdy! The plastic feels higher quality than a lot of toys in recent years. The design has very few things that could actually break. (I list these under CONS)-The unit is loud, but a safe decible for everyone.-the lens for the projector is really far back into the unit to prevent damage-Good for a wide range of ages. I have a 1yo, 5yo, and 9yo, they ALL love this projector!-If you are exhausted at the end of the day or don't like reading yourself, this is a WONDERFUL option for bedtime stories!-Everything is extremely lightweight. No concussions or broken fingers with this thing. I would seriously trust having it in a room with my toddler unsupervised.-it's a noise machine and nightlight-$14 for 3 books is SO reasonable compared to paper and board books and the unit itself is $50. It comes with 3 books already, so the actual machine is closer to $35. Stuff has been expensive lately, which makes the pricepoint much more accessible than alternatives.The beauty of this toy is the simplicity of the design and the thoughtfulness of it's features. I would have KILLED for something like this as a kid.CONS:-the little windows that are on the cartridges are cut outs and expose the film to being damaged. I wouldn't worry about really little kids, but a bigger kid could take something pointy and puncture the film. I haven't had this happen, but it would kinda suck.-the light isn't flimsy, but the fact that the whole light is a button might make it break a lot sooner than if the light had a separate button and the "bulb" didn't move around-I really feel like a carrying case should be included. This is my only real gripe about the product, but it is the biggest flaw IMO. I would have paid an extra $10-15 to have something to keep the small cassettes from going missing. They do have off brand options, but I would have liked something nice with the brand name on it.The cons are just nitpicking, though. I couldn't be happier to have bought this. My kids have a blast having stories being read to them without using a screen or needing to have me read 5 books. I get to sit and watch them have fun and maybe get to scroll on my phone for a few minutes. It's so much fun and my family is going to get tons of use out of this toy!
