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+

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!

This is one of the greatest finds for our toddlers bedtime. It’s so cute, the quality is wonderful and the color is super high quality for the cost of the item! Would highly recommend.

Bought this for my nephew and niece and they both adore it!! Can watch and listen to their favourite stories.. sooo fun!

My 3year old loves it. The cartridges are a little hard to eject and put in, but otherwise it is very toddler friendly.

Gave this as a birthday present for a 3 year old. He loves it. And it’s a great family activity to do together

Has small picture.

This is one of the best toys I think we own. I bought this for my son for Christmas and we have loved curling up in bed and having it read some stories to us. The sound quality is pretty good battery life is great The picture is fun and colorful but it takes a bit of adjusting at first it might be a little confusing for little ones to get it going And to adjust the images clear enough to enjoy them also understand that when you put the book in it has to rewind first and so it sounds like it's working but nothing's happening so just know that The machine needs to reset every storybook put in This is a fantastic toy. Very entertaining educational. Definitely recommend an adult help out so they don't get frustrated

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!
