Name: Playskool Alphie Amazon Customer Rating: (4.5/5) Amazon Customer Reviews: Visit Site Playskool Alphie. There is nothing that will help your child learn better than if it is fun and engaging, and that is exactly what Playskool Alphie is. He is a great introduction to learning and will help your child by encouraging them with his fun personality. The display on his face lights up and gives him a more interactive look. The things he teaches are very practical such as numbers and letters, very important to a preschooler which is about the age the little robot is meant for. He also “sings” and plays music which young children love, and this makes him entertaining and it makes it more likely that Alphie will hold your child’s attention.
