Specifically meant for kids it does have a peppy look as far as the body is concerned but the same cannot be said of the screen which has a rather poor quality. The lines that make the digits and math symbols are too thin, too light, and very hard to read, more so for children. Another problem is that it gives the answer to division problems as decimals rather than as remainders, which should’ve been the other way round as such a calc is meant for early grades.

What it has going for it is the fact that it puts the equations in the form the kids learn in school and it shows the dividing "bridge" in division, not the dash with dots over/under it. This makes it fun to use so a great way to combine play with learning for your kids.
