Plugo Count

I got this for my 5- and 8-year-old, and it was a hit! They both love STEM toys, and so do I, since they make learning fun while keeping those curious little brains engaged. This one did not disappoint—it turned math practice into an interactive and exciting game rather than just another lesson. One of the best features is the ability to select different difficulty levels, so both of my kids could find something suited to them. My younger one could start with the basics, while my older child got more of a challenge, making it a toy they can grow with. The combination of hands-on play and digital interaction kept them interested for much longer than I expected. If you're looking for a fun, educational toy that actually holds kids' attention while reinforcing math skills, this is a great choice. It’s a fantastic way to make learning feel like play!

I recommend this toy....great value for money....Excellent learning material....

After doing some online search, I came across a children's game that appeared to be both entertaining and educational. As a parent, I value the benefits of gaming for children, while also prioritizing the inclusion of educational content. The game in question is known as Plugo and is developed by PlayShifu. Specifically, we opted to purchase the spelling and grammar kit. The setup process was relatively straightforward, with the most time-consuming aspect being the creation of an account. We utilized our daughter's Amazon tablet to access the game, which is compatible with a wide range of platforms. Although we needed to remove the tablet from its protective case, the game provides a secure holder for the device. The game mat is foldable and equipped with magnetic components to secure the letter tiles. Plugo offers a range of engaging activities that enhance vocabulary, foster letter recognition, develop problem-solving skills, and improve hand-eye coordination. The game is adaptable to various grade levels and targets key language concepts such as phonics, pronouns, spelling, sight words, prepositions, nouns, and verbs. I am pleased to report that my 7-year-old daughter has spent over an hour engrossed in these educational games, demonstrating sustained interest and enjoyment. As a parent, witnessing her engagement and learning is truly gratifying. Plugo is designed for children aged 4-10 and features customizable learning levels to cater to individual needs. I wholeheartedly recommend the Plugo Letters Spelling and Grammar Kit, as it offers a valuable learning resource for households with children within this age range.

My review as a mom who also has an early childhood education teaching degree. Overall a great game with 1 small problem that could be improved. Pro: Works for variety of ages. I have a 7, 5, and 3 year old who all have content good for their ages. The game is engaging and fully educational in content. The number manipulative make it more hands-on than just clicking the number on a screen line in traditional apps. My one issue: For my youngest child who is learning number basics and how to identify numbers on sight (the basic level), the FONTS on some of the number manipulatives are not all ideal. Specifically the “4” and “9”. The numbers on the manipulatives are in a font that (while common and one that children need to learn to recognize as they grow) is not the same font that teachers traditionally use when first teaching children to read and write their numbers/giving number exposure. I included a picture showing what I mean and which fonts I think would have been better for our super early learners.

To start, I want to add that I have an Android Tablet and not an iPad, so this may be an Android problem, too. But this game is supposedly compatible with the android tablet. I had high expectations for this Shifu Count game for my Kindergarten son. I thought it would be a fun game to help him learn, and although it may be fun for some, the Kindergarten age is not a good age to buy this game for. I think this game would be more suitable for a preschool aged kid. The addition in this game is SO SIMPLE. It makes me mad how simple it is, and you can't make it harder. At least, when I try to it doesn't increase the difficulty. My son isn't old enough to do multiplication or division yet, so I'm hoping that it will be more useful when he is in first or second grade. I'm upset about this purchase, especially because of the price point and it not being up to scale for a Kindergartener. But also, the product itself has PLENTY OF BUGS. My son likes one of the games out of the 5 offered (they're all basically the same game with a different background), and it glitched at times and abruptly ended at the end. No finish. I'm hopeful for this company that their other programs (music, STEM, etc.) are better and I'm willing to try those out, but as for this one: TL;DR Don't buy this for your Kindergartener. Buy for your Pre-schooler for beginning addition and subtraction. Buy for your Kiddo learning multiplication and division. Expect bugs and glitches. Probably works better for an iPad than an android tablet.

Educational value: This is a great product to help kids engage with mathematics, starting from a pre-school level and increasing in depth as your child grows. The games are varied and engaging for children, although they can be a bit repetitive. Beyond the education aspect, the PlayShifu customer service is very impressive and responsive. Would definitely recommend to any parent.

Great learning device for kids.

Got this for my nephew and he loves it! Easy to set up and use. The games are fun and interactive and easy to understand. My nephew quickly got the hang of it. Would love to see more new games added to it. Overall highly recommended.

Very interesting and interactive,age appropriate

Great for creating stressed out children. The insistence for an answer every 10 seconds or so is baffling software choice.
