The Smart Projector by Smart Play is a fantastic resource for preschoolers and budding artists alike!
This battery-operated, kid-proof projector comes with 5 cartridges to help children learn to write letters and draw animals. In addition to being a great tool for fine motor practice for preschoolers, it also teaches older children how to write the animal names in both English and Spanish.
We really enjoyed getting to try out this awesome product! Big Brother has spent lots of time tracing the letters in his name. He even attempted to trace an animal, though it ended up being most scribbles. You can even adjust it to fit the size of your paper (or your child’s fine motor abilities). My only complaint is that the light could be just a tad bit brighter, especially when attempting to use it in a room with full sun (as we did).
Not only would the Smart Projector be great for home use, but it would also be a fantastic center activity for primary classrooms!
Check out our video of this fun product:

This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only (apologies to my international readers). The giveaway will end on Friday, June 10 at 10am (CST). Shortly after, a winner will be randomly selected using random.org.
Good luck!
I think this is a great tool to help my three year old with her fine motor skills. I'd probably use it at first to help her write her name and maybe start to learn her numbers. [email protected]
What a cool product! As a Spanish teacher, I love that it incorporates building literacy in a second language; more than just hearing and speaking the words. The added bonus of art adds appeal to the new words and letters. I would love to use one of these with my budding reader and budding Spanish speaker. We could practice letters and words in both languages and make some great art for the fridge and the grandparents!

I would love the smart projector to use in my classroom. I think it would be great to use during center time. It could be a lot of fun and student technology!
[email protected]
What a great idea! It looks like a really fun way to learn! My 3 year old loves learning her letters. I would love this to help teach my daughter and then my twin boys :)
[email protected]
That is fantastic. My 3 year-old is working on letters and fine motor control. Thanks for offering this up!
[email protected]
I would love this for my kindergarten classroom! A great way to engage my learners to practice their fine motor skills!
[email protected]
This would be perfect for our homeschool. We have have three kids (5,3,1). I know they would put this to good use.
[email protected]
My little girl loves anything to do with drawing, coloring, or painting. Last night she made a master piece on my tile floor. =)
This would be an awesome product for her!!

I would love to win this projector to help my 3 1/2 year old learn how to write her letters and my 2 year old to learn to draw shapes.
[email protected]
I love the crafts and activities on your blog. I saw this contest on Facebook and it reminded me of all the fun/educational toys my mom would get for my brother and I to play with when we were little. We loved it, and we are both constantly on the lookout for similar toys for our 19-month old boys (born 3 weeks apart). Plus, if it involves drawing and animals I might be able to get my husband to play with my oldest son in a way that doesn't involve wrestling or screaming.
[email protected]
I would love this to use with my preschool kids! They would really benefit from this cool product!
[email protected]
We have a budding artist at our house who would love to get his hands on this! He also has a thing for flashlights – this combines two of his favorite things!!!
[email protected]
This looks like such a great product! I have a 2.5 yr old and I can just see her eyes light up trying to use this!
[email protected]
Fun! I would love to use with my daughter practicing her letters and in my pre-k classroom for additional letter practice and fine motor skills.
[email protected]
Totally cool! I would use this in my Work on Words center in my second grade classroom! What a fun way to practice spelling words!
[email protected]
OH! This would be so neat in my home day care!
[email protected]
I think this would be great for my 3 year old to learn how to use a pencil/crayon better. He could "draw" his own buzz lightyear!
[email protected]
This would be a fun activity for centers or choice time.
[email protected]
Looks like loads of fun!
[email protected]
I think its a tool my kids would enjoy!
[email protected]

my boo boo would love this so much! What a great learning tool
Awesome! What a great giveaway! I just love your site and my son would love this :) [email protected]

My 4 year old is preparing for Kindergarten. He's very excited and is working really hard on writing his letters forwards, not backwards. This would make learning fun.

[email protected]. Can't wait!
This looks like it would be a great addition to my centers as well as helping some of my students who need additional fine motor support. I can incorporate this without them even realizing my "other agenda".
Thanks for the product shoutout!

I have a 5 year old who we are beginning homeschooling this year. He has SPD, thus many fine motor delays. I think a tool like this would be great to build those little muscles so that one day (hopefully) someone will be able to read his handwriting!
My 3 year old is really getting into art. He would love this!
[email protected]
We would LOVE to win this projector. Both of my children (3 years and almost 2 years) LOVE to trace and draw. It would be a fantastic addition to our homeschool lessons!

For whatever reason my 4-yr-old son LOVES things that have shining lights-vacuum cleaners, flashlights, bikes… So, I think this would help encourage him to continue having fun writing his letters, his name, and drawing. Thanks for your wonderful giveaways!

My PreK son is trying so hard to write all his letters. This would help him a lot!

[email protected]
I would love to be able to share this with my own kids and the preschool children I teach. Thanks! [email protected]
I would love to win this for my almost 3 year old son. He loves to "write". We have been working on learning how to write letters so I think that these awesome toy could help us.
Sorry I forgot my email address in my first comment.
[email protected]
My son would love this toy!! We are going to be embarking on the adventure of homeschooling this fall. It would definitely come in handy.
[email protected]
My kids both LOVE art. This looks fabulous!
I would use it to help my kiddo out with learning to write her letters and numbers for preschool.
I would use this with my daughter to help write her letters and numbers. This looks like a fun way to practice!

What a cool product!!!! My oldest is 5 and this would be perfect for him! Jackson was a preemie and had issues with fine and gross motor as a baby. He never learned to crawl, which affected the muscle formation in his hands, and as a result, now has some fine motor issues. As a Kindergarten teacher, I can help him at home on this, and he doesn't go to therapy. He has grown so much with my help, and this would be a great tool to help him along the way. He has just started drawing pictures, and this would give him some confidence in learning how to properly draw animals, etc… Also I have a two year old who loves to draw along with his older brother, and this might help him with beginning shapes now, and of course letters and numbers along the way. I also have an 8 month old, so we would get a lot of use out of this! (wow, am thinking it would be a great Christmas gift!- but we will wait to see if we win first!!!) [email protected]
I would love to win this item! I have three boys, all under 5. I'm homeschooling them and find it difficult at times to be with each child teaching them different things. This item would be awesome for my 3 year old to use while I am working on his older brother with his work. Not to mention, mommy doesn't come in fun cool colors like this thing does! :)
My email is [email protected]
I have never seen a product like this! My little guy loves to draw and definitely needs to be challenged since he is doing so good staying in the lines and drawing some shapes, I think this projector would be great for him to try out!
ckachelmuss at gmail.com
I would use it to help teach my 3 yo her letters and numbers and help my 5 yo practice his spelling words.
[email protected]
[email protected]
I teach first grade and this would be perfect for a literacy station for all the students to use during their rotation.
I also have a 2 year old and a new baby, and I think it would really help her with her fine motor skills!
This product would be awesome in helping my 3 year old learn his lettters and numbers and then in a few months I can start teaching my 2 year old as well!
[email protected]
This is a great idea, I may buy one if I don't win it! I have a 6 year old that just graduated Kindergarten and loves to show off, so he'd love to use it to practice, but even more important I have a 4 year old that will start Pre-k next year that is completely uninterested in doing more than scribbling with a pencil. He wants to learn to spell everything verbally, and he's good at it, but handwriting? No thanks. This might be just the tool I need!
[email protected]
Sorry I deleted my first comment because I didn't leave my email address. I had said that my 3 year old can spell and write her nickname and I think using this would also help her to review other letters and practice writing them too.
I would use that to help my son with his writing and my daughter learn how to write. It looks wonderful! [email protected]
What a fun product! My daughter would love this, as she is learning to put letters into words. It would seem like a toy to her but a teaching tool to her Mommy! Awesome.
[email protected]
Jenae, you are too funny! I love the video you posted as much as the actual product. :)
I follow you via email.

Love this idea! I have a soon-to-be kindergartener starting this Fall, a preschooler little brother who wants to keep up, and a special needs baby sister who'll benefit from everything the first two do! What an incredible resource!

The one item in our house that is used DAILY is my daughter's easel that was given as a Christmas gift by our Pastor's family. We have had this for nearly two years and it is WELL loved.
My mother sends my daughter scraps of paper and notepads she not longer uses because my daughter goes through paper like crazy. Various friends keep her in markers and crayons.
My daughter would absolutely LOVE this product and I have often considered buying her one. Thank you for your review. I will put it on her wish list and see if we can find a great deal on one.
This looks awesome! I have been fighting a foot infection and 9 surgeries, so I'm always looking for learning activities I can do with my 3 year old that don't require a lot of me being on my feet. This would be PERFECT because she loves crafts and is working on writing her letters.
[email protected]
The kids (and I )would have a ton of fun with this….

I am always looking for something new for my 2yr old. I also have a 9mo old who takes lots of my time due to his special needs. The look on my 2yr old's face when I have a craft or a new activity set up for him makes my heart smile and pushes away some of that guilt that builds up from having to spend so much time with the baby.

My son is learning how to write his letters. He would LOVE this.

My daughter is really struggling with the concept of tracing and this sounds like it would be a fun way to approach it. We'll probably get one anyway if we don't win, but winning is always more fun! [email protected]
My 3 year old would love this. He is learning both english and spanish. This would help him out a lot.
How fun is that?! My daughter would love to color and trace with this cool toy. Definitely would help her learn to draw and write.

My niece would love this. She would think Santa came early if winning. She is currently learning to write better and learning how to spell. She loves to draw for hours and hours a day. I could see this helping keep her entertained during the too hot summers here in Ky.
[email protected]
I think this would help my 3yr old with tracing letters among other things!

Oh. Wow. My four-year-old daughter would adore this. She loves to draw and create, and try as I might she seems to get lost in the shuffle sometimes as the middle child. This would be for her and her alone – her choice to share! She is our artist in residence and she would be so delighted with this. mkrweeks {at} hotmail {dot} com
Oh, my daughter would LOVE this! She's always asking me how to draw things, and I'm afraid my own artistic skills are non-existent…. tlovell05 at yahoo dot com
This looks like a great way to give my little ones practice writing and drawing!

would love to win this as it is a great way for kinds to expand their printing and drawing abilities while improving hand and eye coordination…[email protected]
AS my kids are now 22, 21, and 18, I would love to givwe this to the Mom's Morning Out preschool program at our church. They meet once a week, and provide a free preschool program, faith-based, to allow moms a chance to get some work done at home, or grocery shop, or whatever they choose (they don't even ask what they did while they were gone! :D ). It's a wonderful program, and it's been around for 17 years, I believe. Those ladies are amazing. :D
My son would love this! Looks like fun!!
[email protected]
This would be great for my boys & my preschool class!!
[email protected]
Looks awesome. It would be cool to use transparent blocks on it too!! [email protected]
I'm a former first grade teacher as well, now home with two little girls. This would be great for my 3-year-old! She loves "projects" and anything artsy and we're working on learning her letters.
greeninaz05(at)gmail.com
i am a homeschool mama and this would be great! [email protected]
my son would love this, although he may be too young as of now, but it will come in handy for motor skill later on
[email protected]
My 10 year old had a similar toy when he was younger, and now he has a surprise little brother who would probably love it just as much! The older one is an amazing artist, probably because he built a lot of confidence using the projector.
[email protected]
My 5 year old loves art! My 3 year old loves school. Both would benefit! [email protected]
I think my girls would really enjoy this! [email protected]
Would love to win this for my son. I'm a terrible artist so I'm hoping that by providing him plenty of opportunities while he's still young he'll turn out more skilled in that area than me.
jberrec at gmail dot com
That looks so neat. My son would love it! And, it would be a great tool for him to use in practicing his letters.
