  • Great story option
The Little Tikes Story Dream Machine is wonderful! It’s so easy to use, the stories are just the right length to keep kids engaged, and my children absolutely love it. A great way to make story time fun and relaxing!

  • Works like a dream
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! ... show more

  • Great toy!
I love this! It is such a cute toy for my toddler who does not do screen time and loovvvessss to read. I would say I ordered it pre maturely cause my daughter just turned 2 and she wants to play with it and take the stories out and back in again, but that’s my fault not the toys. It’s easy to use and a fun alternative to screen time! ... show more

  • A story time projector the family will love
The media could not be loaded. We bought this storytime projector as a birthday gift for our son who just turned 4, and it ended up being a gift the whole family enjoyed. That night, we all found ourselves lying in his room in the dark, watching the stories projected on the wall. It was such a sweet and cozy experience. The projector is very simple to use and worked smoothly right out of the box. It has the classic, nostalgic Little Tikes design and colors that we love. The projector is light weight and easily stored. The built-in handle makes it easy to carry, and while there is an option to purchase a separate carrying case, we don’t plan to travel with it—so we’ll likely just store it in our son’s room. It projects clearly from about 6 to 10 feet away, and we were able to see the images and read the words without any trouble. The volume was great too—we could all hear it clearly from different spots in the room. The projector came with a few classic stories, originally written in 1942, 1947, and 1952. While these books are timeless and sweet, they do feel a bit outdated and may not be as engaging for today's kids. Thankfully, there are additional story reels available, and we’re excited to add more modern options as future gifts for birthdays or Christmas. Overall, this turned out to be a wonderful and memorable gif. Not just for our son, but for the whole family to enjoy together during storytime ... show more
