Ideal for beginners. I'm not willing to move my eyes, mouth and head at the same time. Just having a cheap doll on my lap so I can move it with my mouth is enough for me now. I have a 3 year old son who bores me to death with nothing to do with him. Counting the same dice and repeating the same letter sounds over and over again is exhausting unless I can learn something. Now, "Cindy," as my son called her, is helping us through class while I learn a new skill.
