I do not believe in hand held games or video games for children. My mother is the one who went against my wishes and purchased this for my daughter Christmas 2008, that's right 2008. Knowing my feeling on this subject my mother came armed with newspaper articles, e-articles, and an educational magazine. Due to my stubbornness it was an entire year before I loaded the software on my computer. With that being said I am glad my mother purchased this for my daughter (age 8) as I never would. Didj is not a hand held game or video game, it is an awesome educational tool. I love it! The Didj includes a feature on its "Leapfrog Connect" in which I can upload her spelling words and choose her math facts and language arts skills by grade and then again by specific skills. In order to continue to the next level she must answer a series of educational questions, this motivates her because she earns micromods. Micromods are equivalent to money/tokens in which she downloads "extras" for each game. For example, she has downloaded a pet for Sonic and a new computer for Nancy Drew and a Karate move for Spongebob. I have purchased another six educational tools; Nancy Drew, Nicktoons, Neopets, Tinkerbell, Super Chicks, High School Musical and a free download from Leapfrog Jet Pack Heroes. I can't seem to say enough about this valuable educational tool. My daughter is studying her math facts and spelling words without me telling her "It's time to study".

I got this for my 6-year-old for Christmas she likes it, but my 9-year-old likes it even more. It takes patience, so I don't think it would be good for younger kids.

Carson-Dellosa Publishing Sign Language Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought these cards to use in my Early Literacy Classes and for use with my 15 month old granddaughter. Encouraging parents and caregivers to use ASL with infants and toddlers gives both the adult and child a way to communicate before a child is physically able to do so. I was looking for a quick and easy to carry reference tool rather than flipping through a sign book when you need the sign to label something right now. There are 105 cards in this set: 26 for the letters of the alphabet; 10 number cards and the rest a fairly good selection of pronouns, feelings, verbs, responses/conjunctions, people, everyday object and animals. While I agree with most of the other reviewers in the cards' usefulness with older signers, I am disappointed that there are not identifying pictures included on the card for non-readers. For example: the card for ball has a drawing of a child doing the sign on one sign and the word "ball" on the reverse. If only a picture of a actual ball was included with the word, this would have been a much more useful product for my purposes of using them with very young children. In that case then, more identifying cards would have also been nice as the selection of everyday objects and animals is quite limited.

This is an excellent product for beginners at sign language. My best friend is deaf, and this is how I first learned how to sign. Highly recommend!

The cards are great. But when the sign has a motion to it it's hard to figure out what the card means even with the little motion lines.

Honest reviews on Carson-Dellosa Publishing Sign Language

I ordered this to use with our home education and we are loving the cards. They are easy to understand and my girls love the pictures. We post a new card every week and then practice the sign of the week everyday.

My 6 year old niece and I are learning to sign using these flash cards. The pictures are big enough to understand the movements and are easy to read. Great product.

Reviews of Learning Resources Attribute Lacing Buttons, Set Of 48

Customer Ratings:

My grandniece has been playing with these since Christmas. She calls it sewing, but there are so many other topics that can be covered with this educational toy such as shapes, colors, sorting, manipulatives. Great toy...

These are great for lacing, sorting by shape (triangles, circles, squares), color (green, blue, yellow, red), size (big, little) and number of holes (two, four), patterning etc. These are my choice when doing assessments because I can use these same buttons for a variety of assessment activities instead of having to use multiple items/equipment.

Best Deals for Learning Resources Attribute Lacing Buttons, Set Of 48

First I will say that I thought this set was a little over priced for a few buttons (okay, quite a few) and some laces. That said, there are so many possibilities with this set and it is appropriate for so many age levels, I still give it a high rating. The buttons are very sturdy and there is good variety, so my 2 year old can use it to practice fine motor skills (lacing) and sorting, and my 4 year old can use the set for sequencing and math. I like materials we can use in a broad variety of learning situations and for many years and this is one of those.

Best Connor's Kits for Kids: Polymer Power Deals

Customer Ratings:

I love this kit! It is as advertisedeverything is included and it does make LOTS of slime! I spent an enjoyable afternoon with my grandkids making slime and learning about polymers. We all had a great time. They especially liked how the slime could stretch over a hand (or their toys). The glitter in the Slime Base was also a big hit.

After a few hours of seeing what slime could do, we packed the slime into the (provided) plastic zip bag and refrigerated it for another day. Clean up was simple (they didn't care, but I appreciated that part). I also like that the kit was developed by a kid, well-thought out and with clear instructions. A big two thumbs up for Connor's Kits for Kids!

Best Educational Insights Far Out Solar System Mapping Tool (5255) Deals

Customer Ratings:

I received this solar system mapping tool as a gift and found it to be a real time saver. I teach both STEM and Math, with this tape I was able to put the students right on the mark where each planet is in relation to the sun. I didn't need to set up my own model this time, and the distances on the tape allowed me to make some very good math connections.

The case and tape are both very sturdy and well designed. My students didn't have any problem using it, and it was nice to have it reel in and out easily.

It did require room to use it effectively, but that is to be expected when modeling the distances of the planets. If you can get outside or have a long hallway to use this tool, it is fantastic!

The blocks are definitely unique and not the same old boring alphabet blocks. However, I was really disappointed that there are not 26 blocks! There are only 16. Had I known this, I probably would have just purchased traditional blocks. Also, not the packaging, in contradiction to the item description, says ages 3 and up, although frankly, I don't see why a 6 month old can't play with them. I got them for my one year old daughter.

These blocks are a fresh spin on the alphabet blocks many of us grew up with. They serve the same purpose--teaching children their letters--but like many things made for children these days (ala Pixar) Mom and Dad get a bang out of it, too.

Exactly what we expected; fun with a bit of old-timey-ness. Definitely glad we got them. You should definitely get them!

Great for parents with a sense of humor!

Excellant twist on traditional blocks. Love! Our friends get such a kick out of these.

Well made, and fun. Especially love that they are wood, and even have their own traythis helps keep them contained & easier to notice if any may be missing (Not much worse than your foot finding a rogue block in the middle of the night. Other than a Lego)

But, Parents of Sensitive Nuggets Beware: My two year old, who is now developing an apprehension to all things "scawy" really dislikes a few of the pictures ( zombie, extraterrestrial, etc). And since each block has more than one letter, we can't just hide that one/sub it out.

So these are perfect for parents of oblivious babies that want to have kids toys they can enjoy, too. But once/if your kids get older & hit that sensitive stage, you may want to put them away for awhile. If your kids aren't bothered, kudos! Mine just currently has a distaste for the jeepers-creepers. Bummer!

100 Number Chart Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This product is laminated(can use dry erase marker on it), with the one-hundred chart on one side. On the opposite side there is the same 10x10 hundreds grid only with no numbers filled in. This is great if you want to use the back of the chart to make graphs or have the child write the hundreds chart as you dictate the numbers to them. A great math manipulative. I was at the Dollar Store and they had a one-hundred poster, but this is so much more useful and interactive for the student. I highly recommend.

Word World Friends Bird Review

Customer Ratings:

The toy itself doesn't stay together very well. Might be a singular defect. Bird must be disassembled to fit into egg, which does not latch in any way and comes apart constantly. Fun idea, and I love WordWorld, so it's worth it.

My 2.5 year old loves this. He's entertained for at least 10 minutes just taking it out of the egg, building it, and then playing with it. I kept the throw away little brown X and told him it was food and now he enjoys pretend feeding it as well. Great purchase. Also great for wording with outs like open, in, out, and counting, as they are in pieces and must be built.

Hexbug Spider - Red Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I purchased one of these, honestly ,for myself because I thought it looked neat. I was surprised with how fast it walks, and it handles at least low pile carpeting fairly well, plus you can see more of the internal mechanics so get at least a small idea of how it works. Can easily see why the Hexbug line has gotten so far.

In short, I highly recommend it, only thing I wish is that the LED "eye" stayed on to show direction.

I bought this toy for Christmas for my 11 year old nephew, it was a hit. I got a call saying thank you and got a video of just what it does. It is very smooth with it's motions, it looks and acts like a bug and is very creepy. Everyone was having fun with this toy, even adults enjoyed this toy. I recommend it for anyone who loves robots, bugs, or crawly creatures of any kind. This is a great toy!

I have not tested the item itself, but was extremely disappointed that it came with the packaging all beat up. The plastic container it was in was broken, and it was taped shut. The item was supposed to be new, but definitely did not look that way!! This was particularly disappointing because I had planned to give it as a gift the next day.

My 6 year-old son saved up his birthday money to purchase this Hexbug Spider, and he has not been disappointed. The multi-directional walking and the tiny remote made this a great toy, in his opinion.

Like all the Hexbugs, this has small moving parts and is meant for kids old enough to be somewhat gentle when playing with it. I'm not sure how durable it is... I can't imagine that it would survive too many falls on a hard floor without some of the tiny pieces breaking. My son has been taking extra good care of it (his lives in a metal lunch box with his other Hex bug) since he spent his own money on it, though.

I'm not sure it has any real educational value, though he's had fun experimenting to find out which surfaces the spider will and will not walk on. (Kitchen floor= yes. Wrinkled bedspread= no.)

Overall, it's not a toy that appeals to me as an adult, but my 6 year-old loves it, and that's really all that matters!
