Review: iLearn ‘N’ Play Learning Tablet and Letterbox App

Eva writing her letters with the iLearn Learning Tablet

At our house learning is very important. With Eva we started talking to her in full sentences almost right away. We hardly did any baby talk with her and she has since grown to a five year old with the vocabulary and understanding of that vocabulary of a 10 year old (at least). Our iPads have never been off limits to her and have always been used as tools for helping her become more educated, with some fun and games as well. When I was offered the chance to review the iLearn ‘N’ Play Learning Tablet I didn’t jump at it at first. The device was a case that had a kid friendly stylus and an app called Letterbox.

Pixar's Monster's University

About the movie:

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right. Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”), produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and features music from future Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fame–inductee and award winning composer Randy Newman (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Toy Story 3”).

The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013, and will be shown in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
