Little Tikes Story Dream Machine

My daughter has had the projector since she was 2. She is a avid reader and loves to set and listen to the different books! Great item!

Love the concept, but the text looks blurry no matter how you adjust the focus, and after adjusting, the slides often go out of focus and need to be readjusted. It’s hard on the eyes and defeats the point of being able to read along. This is a quality issue that shouldn’t exist in 2025… it takes vintage to a whole new level (and not in a good way).

My 2&1/2 grandson loves this machine. He is rough and it holds up well. Wish it had more books. It’s a great product.

I have three grandchildren ages 6, 5, and 3 and they all have been enjoying story time with the Dream Machine. They take the machine into their play hut and make it special time.

My grandson received this for his 4th Birthday. I wanted something educational and also zero internet needed. 😎

We must have gotten a dud. We did all the things to fix it, replaced batteries and moved slides manually to get them unstuck… it worked every once in awhile, but now we are passed the return window and it won’t work at all. The slides just won’t turn on any of the stories. HUGE waste of money because we purchased a ton of extra stories. Don’t want to replace it and have it have the same issues, so I guess we are just out over a hundred dollars because of all the additional slides we have purchased. Just disappointing

It was easy to use and very entertaining for the child.

It’s a great product and our toddler loves it a lot however, after a couple months, it has started messing up and we have to refocus every couple slides.

My 4 year old loves this toy. He wants to use it like a Tonie box though and keep it on for maybe 1-2 hours a day. With that being said, it EATS thru batteries. We had it for a few days and went through 8 batteries. I wish there was a plug in option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it, my kids are fascinated with this, it's easy to clean, the product is super innovative, it has excellent quality and therefore I think it will last a long time.

Great, at first. Eventually, several of the story tapes would not rotate or the audio was not synced with the story picture. Liked it otherwise.

It’s an awesome gift for my Grandson birthday the price was good and I know he will like it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The little tikes dream machine is the perfect bed time screen time alternative. My kids loved it and always ask to hear the stories multiple times

Bought 2 one didn’t work out of box, second worked for a day. Garbage

My son loves this! We do too. We read to him every night, but sometimes, as a teacher, my voice is very tired, so it’s nice to have a story or two in addition to our book rotation! I will say that I do have to adjust the focus quite often with certain books. Some books are clearer than others and stay a bit more focused. The best books are the Fraggle ones imo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son absolutely loves the Little Tikes Story Dream Machine! He takes it with him everywhere—it’s quickly become his favorite toy. I love that it reminds me of the old View Master, but with a fun modern twist. We typically lay with him as he’s watching them and he will watch about two or three before he falls asleep holding it. I love that. It also function as a sound and light machine, but he has yet to use that feature. He prefers just listening to the stories. At just four years old, he’s already figured out how to change the cassettes on his own. He’s a little tinkerer who loves understanding how things work, so he’s always exploring it—and so far, it’s held up beautifully with no issues. We’ve built up a nice collection of stories since we got it and plan to keep adding more as new ones come out. It’s been such a fun and imaginative addition to our home.

Didn't last long, the pictures break in half and sometimes it takes several tries for the story to even load. Horrible product.

I was so excited to get this for my son but after a couple of months the pictures are breaking in half and sometimes it takes few tries for the story to even load up. I’m extremely disappointed because we got so many stories yet we can’t even enjoy them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive the Little Tikes Story Dream Machine Kit and Collections courtesy of Influenster and Little Tikes in exchange for my honest review. My (5) year old has autism and he loves to look at books and pictures. He was immediately drawn to it and it was really easy for him to change out the books. He needed help with adjusting the focus but got the hang of it. The volume can be loud which would make it great if you are traveling and want to bring this on the go. It has the best nostalgic vibes and I wish there were more toys like this as I was equally as excited to look at the story photos and listen along. There’s also a built in night light and you can store (4) books all together but you’ll need a larger storage case as the one provided does not last long term. One of the little action figures kept falling out but all the others were great. Overall I highly recommend this product for anyone, and it would make a great birthday or holiday gift! This is THE perfect addition to your kiddo’s collection and I’ve already expanded my son’s collection because he loves the storytelling element.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little thing is amazing! It was perfect for the camper at bedtime. The way it shines on the wall makes it even more fun for the kids. I wasn't expecting the picture to show up so well, so I was pleasantly surprised. This is definitely going to be used over and over as a nightine ritual.
