When I bought this I was looking for just a cheapie radiometer. However, after reading reviews, and, looking at specifications, I decided to purchase this one. I am glad I did. The cheaper ones have plastic bases that will fade and crack on sustained exposure to sunlight. This one is solid glass (or crystal).
This is a work of art. The stem is made, by hand, from six different strands of blown and extruded glass. Half of the strands are viridian in color, and, the other half are clear. They are skillfully woven together to support the globe which contains the radiometer.
The radiometer works in low light conditions (obviously the bulb is a vacuum). This stands about 10" tall and is easily seen from anywhere in a room. It works right out of the box no digital programming, power tools, multi-language skills, 800 phone marathons, or legal intervention required to get it to work.
The glass is "delicate." This is very lightweight so that you can display it and move it easily, but you need to treat it with care.
I use this in my greenhouse for giving me a quick monitor of light conditions for the plants. The greenhouse can be a "rough and tumble" place sometimes so I was worried about breakage. I put this on a shelf and used "museum putty" to hold the base to an aluminum shelf. So far, I haven't had any problems. You can use museum putty anywhere. It will stick the object to a shelf without damaging either the shelf or the object. Museum Gel for Glass and Crystal
This is so pretty that many visitors remark about it when they visit my greenhouse. It is well worth the money I paid for it on this listing.

Discount VTech V-Motion Smartridge: Snow Park Challenge
We have the wave challenge, soccer challenge and this one. We love all of the games. It helps that we like these activities ourselves. Great skills for pre-schooler's in spelling/reading and counting. My husband and I enjoy playing with our three year old daughter and they are great intro's to the gaming world.

My 5-yr old son enjoys playing this game, especially the skiing game. It seems to be pretty well on target for his age (he'll be 6 in April and is in Kindergarten). No complaints.Honest reviews on VTech V-Motion Smartridge: Snow Park Challenge
I purchase this game for my neice. My sister in-law says she loves it. She spends a few hours during the day having fun and learning at the same time. The price was great for the game. And not having to pay shipping was even better.

Review of Home Planetarium: Project Stars & Planets
Ive actually had this exact planetarium since I was a kid, and now and I let my kids play with it. Im super old, so its lasted a long time. There are several different discs that you can put in the middle to see different parts of the night sky, and one disc with the sun and planets. It comes with a cassette tape that talks about what you're looking at unfortunately, I did lose that part of it, so I don't remember what it says or if it was any good. I gave 4 stars because the discs are a bit flimsy and easy to dent, and also because there is no a/c cord it's all on batteries. All in all, it's a good little toy, the stars look nice on the ceiling and the kids like it. There are a lot of fancier things out there, but this is good too.

I got this exact iquest for Christmas last year and it is SOOO cool! It has a cauculator, a planner, and more! There are actually ALOT of textbook choices on the cartridges. I'm in 6th grade so I own the math, social studies, and science cartridges grades 6-8 and ALL of them have my text books. Over all, iquest ROCKS!Best Deals for LeapFrog iQuest Handheld Expandable Study System with BONUS Starter
I am going to college w/a major in secondary social studies. I bought this to help study for the certification test and was pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is!I think I may even incorporate this tool into a classroom lesson for bonus points...
The dictionary is nice, there is a fun anagram game, chapter quizzes, pop quizzes, a calculator and several other good features.
I paid thirteen dollars for this on clearance, but would probably try to find it used rather than pay fifty online. Some of the newer models may feature a helpful backlight, but my model doesn't...
Honest reviews on LeapFrog iQuest Handheld Expandable Study System with BONUS Starter
My daughter really loves her iQuest! She takes it everywhere with her. She uses almost every function every day.The iQuest is great for studying while your child feels as if he/she is playing a game. My daughter studies what she learned in school every night with her iQuest by choosing her school textbook from the list. Sometimes we play the games together.
The only problem is that there is no backlight and no attachable light, so my daughter always has to be in a well-lit room to use this interesting gadget. Unless you choose to ride in the car with the light on, your child may want to pack a gameboy as well :)

This is a awesome little handheld. My daughter is 9 and I bought it for her with the thought of it being too advanced for her. It actually challenges her but she learns from it. She already pulled her grades up and now went from B's to A's and reading a C to and A. WOW. I even get on it and brush up on my math. It not only quizes but goes back to review what they miss (or I miss)and helps them understand. Now my little one that is 7 is using it. She gets on and reads what the questions and tries to do them. I have not bought one cartridge since we bought it a month ago. They are still enjoying it.Monday, December 15, 2014

We bought this for my daughter because she is a huge My Little Pony fan. She absolutely loves it. I was worried at first because the age range is 5 and up, shes 4. But she picked it up really quick. It has helped her brush up on her addition and subtraction. She has learned all about probability and has even started learning multiplication! Another great game by LeapFrog!

5 Stars. This game is fun and my kids love playing it. The math is challenging for my 4 year old but she's actually still able to play it, my 6 year old loves it and I love it because it tricks them into doing math over and over. Used it on Leappad 2.Best Deals for LeapFrog Explorer My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Learning Game
We have a 7 year old with a LeapPad & LeapFrog Explorer. This My Little Pony was a wonderful addition to her game collection. She is a huge fan of the My Little Pony series and her Daddy is a huge fan of math. What a wonderful combination! She really got into the game and does not groan about it like other "MATH" games. I would love it if LeapFrog came out with expansions, especially with advanced Math. We'd be buying them for years to come.Honest reviews on LeapFrog Explorer My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Learning Game

I can't blame her, it is totally adorable! All of the voices sound like the original actresses, though I am not sure if they are. Cute, fun, AND educational is a winner in my book!Reviews of Skullduggery Eyewitness Kit Dophin
I purchased this for my 4-year old grandson and the fossil kit for my 9-year old grandson as a spring break project at our house. This one offered a choice of 4 dolphins to make. We love these kits. I choose different ones each time they come. Sometimes we glue them to a plaque or background to let them put in their rooms.

I bought this for a gift for my autistic nephew who is calmed down by marine animals. This thing is great!Best Deals for Skullduggery Eyewitness Kit Dophin
We really like it. It is easy to use but they do not include enough paint for the different dolphins. They need to show the colors of the dolphins in more detail. Overall my kids like it.Honest reviews on Skullduggery Eyewitness Kit Dophin
Well, I should have read the description more closely. You have to mix & make your own mold. It was a little too much for my 6 year old kiddos so I sent it back. But I think it would be a great kit for a slightly older child (say 8+).
