Great toy

I bought this for my 2 year old for Christmas. She still plays with it. It is a little hard for her to change to the next picture, but with practise, she can do it now. I ask her what she is seeing and she gives me the full story. We like it.

Explore a New World of Dora

"Say cheese!" Okay, so my daughter (age 3 yrs 9 mos) is a little confused. She thinks her new Dora View Master is a "camera." But she loves viewing a 3D Dora story on this viewer screen almost as much as she does the TV screen. At first I had to show her how to insert the reel right side up. The yellow handle on the right-hand side is easy for her to shift. Limited by reel size, the stories are brief (seven scenes per reel). It helps if the viewer is already familiar with Dora and the characters. Three or four lines of text accompany each scene. Since my daughter can't read, she makes up her own story to go along with the picture. While the text includes some Spanish words (such as agua, amarillo, and azul), this toy is more entertaining than educational. Two of three stories ask the viewer to identify colors. The view master is made of durable plastic. The reels last as long as they aren't torn or bent (no easy task in a house with a toddler and preschooler). The toy comes with three reels entitled: Rojo The Fire Truck, Dr. Dora, and The Golden Explorers. All stories are based on the earlier TV season (no starcatching!)

Pooh View Master Viewer

Made by Fisher-Price

Age Group: 36 months - 8 years

Amazon base price: $8.99

It's the same enchanting toy you loved when you were a kid, but the View-Master has seen a few improvements over the years. Now with a curved visor, rounded corners, a larger viewing area, and improved picture quality, this classic toy is more fun than ever. The Winnie the Pooh View-Master gift set is a great way to introduce your own child to the joys of the View-Master personal slide show. It comes with a bright red viewer and three collectible 3-D reels (21 pictures in all) that tell the story of Pooh's adventures with a runaway homemade kite. The colorful high-quality 3-D pictures put your child right in the scene, and the simple captions, which appear in a viewing window at the top of the viewer, will help your child follow the story. Additional reels are available separately. --Elisabeth Fredrickson

NO REELS???

I BOUGHT MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER A VIEW MASTER FOR CHRISTMAS, SO FAR I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY REEL CARDS FOR HER TO LOOK AT, OTHER THAN THE ONE THAT CAME WITH IT. HOW MUCH FUN IS THAT? I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET TRING TO FIND SOME, AND SO FAR THAT HAS LED TO NOTHING EITHER. GUESS MY GRANDBABY WONT KNOW IF IT FUN OR NOT, WILL SHE? UNABLE TO RATE ITEM DUE TO UNABLE TO FIND PRODUCT. FUN EDUCATIONAL, DURABILITY, WHO KNOWS.

BETTER THAN EVER

This was my daughter's first View Master and she was captivated by the pictures. It is a great toy for travel as well as something to have in the bag when you are in a more confined setting such as the doctors office or grocery store line. My only drawback is that I would like to see them make the reels more durable. Other than that this is a great "multi - use" toy.

Better than TV!

My kids play with their view master quietly by themselves when I insist that the TV is off. These are great toys, very durable (except for the reels which can bend) and good for the imagination.
