Ask Einstein

Price $19.99
Age 3+ yrs.

Children find Ask Einstein to be an exhilaratingly fun way to explore and learn. The set comes with 100 electronic flash cards and five game play options, but the dynamic feature that truly incites and excites kids to keep playing and learning is a cute little braniac mouse figure named Einstein. Einstein, it turns out, has a special gift not unlike Santa's naughty/nice detector, in this case the seemingly magical ability to identify, instantly, whether a player's answer is correct or not. Each of the beautifully-illustrated flash cards incorporates a color photograph and poses a question related to that object or creature while offering two answers from which to choose. Determining the correctness of a player's response is as simple as placing Einstein on the current card atop the answer that was chosen. If correct, Einstein's helmet lights up green accompanied by a melodious sound. If incorrect, Einstein's helmet flashes red and a buzzer sounds. Given kids' enduring enthusiasm for the mouse's truth-detecting abilities, it is a boon that Ask Einstein flash card booster packs are available for purchase separately, each with a unique learning focus!
