This mini player is thoughtfully designed, the story / music cards are easy to use and they have a wide range that caters to children of all ages. I was worried that my child will not be able to understand how to use the player, manipulate and understand the use of the control ****, but now that we have it, i wish we got it sooner. If your child is not ready yet to use the control ****, you can assist and choosing the cards they want to use is a step that can be included in their routine when they use the mini player. Such a great addition to our music loving child's play and learning journey.
