Great, I have this high end computing device which is a treat to look at, but let's cover half the screen up with a plastic eyesore that serves roughly the functionality of 2 dixie cups and a handful of pennies (or pebbles). That being said, light sensor peripherals is an interesting avenue. Unfortunately this "duo" is a monstrous fail. In fac,t the audacity that someone would belittle the intelligence of even children, to declare this would be enjoyable for them is pathetic. If I was a kid I'd rather see a amazing animation or affect on the screen when I push an on screen button. Plus no mess, no lost beads that come with it. And no awful device that also requires more batteries. Hate it.
