They look just like the picture; they are just a bit thin and flimsy. I was hoping for something made out of cardstock, but these are made out of glossy "magazine" paper. They also don't have self-adhesive backs, which isn't a big deal to me, but something I've noticed other people care about.

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.

Honest reviews on Hexbug Spider - Red

I like it, I think it's really cool. Not too slow. I also like that it doesn't break easily. ( from the end consumer)

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!

Wild Science Perfect Perfume Laboratory Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My daughter loves trying on my perfume, so i thought this would be a fun kit for her, i was right!! while i was disapointed in the instructions, that explain pretty much NOTHING about the SCIENCE in the kit, i had read that in other reviews, so i was expecting that. easy for a seven year old, with a little help from mom. she loved creating her own different scents, even though the smells were overwhelming to me, she had soo muh fun! the hardest part for her was 'shaking the plunger with the perfume pad and water in it to break it down' I had to VIGOROUSLY shake it myself for a long time. we finally concluded that HOT WATER should be used to help break it down, not the 'warm water' it suggests. doesn't change the smell of the perfume to use hot, and the shaking time is way less.

My seven-year-old grand daughter is very creative and loves making things. So, needless to say, she loved making her own perfume. She came up with some very quaint names also. If your child likes being creative, I'd recommend this from my experience.

My son and his best friend have had a great time with this rocket race car. They're 10, wanted (and needed) no assistance with assembly and have had hours of fun with the rocket thus far. I'll probably pick up a couple more for emergency birthday presents -the boys have demonstrated that this is a fun, durable toy.

I was surprised that my son, age 11, wanted something that did not need batteries. But he put it on the Christmas list. Great toy, easy to assemble. So far, it has been very durable. Like that is teaches Science, even though he does not realize it. Would recommend!

Had a really fun time with this race car. The only problem is the metal bar the holds the wheels on bent after a few times. I think the reason it bent was because I used my air compressor to make it work. I should have used a foot pump, but that would be no fun. Also seems to have a hard time rolling on cement or any pavement. Either way, this thing is really fun.

Review of AmScope 5x-10x-15x-30xr Stereo Coin Microscope + USB Camera

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $900.00
Sale Price: $239.98
Today's Bonus: 73% Off

I shopped for a few hours and decided upon the Model SE305R-PX-P Microscope from Amscope and have been pleased with it's quality, functionality and ease of use since opening the box.

The unit comes with two bulbs for the two light sources, one top and the other in the base.

The dual magnification on the main lens is great but mainly I use the 3x lens.

The clarity of the lens' is great.

During the past week, I have had zero issues with this scope.

I have used the included camera once and I am pleased with the pictures but a more thorough manual would have been nice.

I ordered a spare set of 20x lens's and when the package arrived, there was only one lens included.

I called the company and was directed to put this issue in writing and send an email.

I communicated twice, the same day, regarding the missing lens and by the following day, a lens was on it's way to me and I received it two days later.

Great customer service.

If I needed a second microscope, I would purchase another Model SE305R-PX-P.

You will be pleased also : )

Little Leaps SW: Thomas and Friends: Exploring Manners and Emotions Review

Customer Ratings:

I just got this for my 2 year old. We have a few of the ones that first came out. He enjoyed them but they didn't hold his intrest as well as this one. My son isn't a big thomas fan but he played staight through this one and wanted to play again. It talks about manners and letters and numbers. It really got him using the joystick which the others didn't.

The only reason I didn't give it a great durability rating is because as anyone who has this system knows they are on dvds and although my son hasn't broken one of these yet he has broken other dvds. If you are deciding between Thomas or one of the non tv character games chose Thomas.

I purchased this and Dora at a special discounted rate around the holidays for my 2 yr old son. We tried Dora first and both of us were bored. So I was skeptical about how Thomas would be. But thank goodness my son enjoys it, as do I. While he doesn't watch the Thomas television show he is familiar with the trains so it grabs his interest. This game covers manners, feelings, letters and numbers and focuses on social skills. As far as the toddler Little Leaps line goes I find this one to be one of the best ones, with Leap Ahead as my second preference, though I don't care for the LeapFrog characters on it (we have yet to try the Backyardigans game).

Best Deals for Little Leaps SW: Thomas and Friends: Exploring Manners and Emotions

We bought this for Christmas in 07 when my son was 2 1/2. He didn't play with it much, but now at 3 years old, he loves this game. He loves the whole Thomas family and this game is his favorite. The manners they teach are good, and my son likes to play along with the characters is acting out the manners or emotions. As for the durability of the disk, not so good. We are on our second disk now. Even with very little handling by my sons, the disk is scratched just enough to not work for some of the games. It shuts off when trying top play. I wish they could find a way to make them more durable for a product for kids and used by kids. I do put the disk in for him, but occasionally he will get a hold of it and I guess it gets scratched easily.

Discount Pioneer World Globe

Customer Ratings:

The Pioneer World Globe is light weight, has the multi-colored countries, and has the texture to feel the mountain ranges like the Continental Divide in North America. The globe can be moved to view the entire earth and the meridian around the globe is a very nice feature as well. Our school's PTSA purchased this globe for our teacher who was awarded the Idaho Outstanding PTA Educator of 2012-13. We had a local engraver put a small plaque on it commemorating her achievement. This turned out to be a great keepsake and a very nice addition to her classroom.

Space Shuttle Kinetic Art Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Maybe I didn't pay attention when I bought this thing, but it requires a 9-volt battery (the kind you usually find in smoke detectors) and that was not included in the package. Also, the spinning made some annoying sounds after a few days but that wasn't anything you can't fix with some kind of lubricant and 5 seconds of your time.

I really like this thing, and I don't see any reason why you wouldn't buy this item here on Amazon if you are already considering buying one.

I would like to add that this might not be so much of a toy since you can't really play with it, just observe it. It 's the kind of thing you want sitting on a shelf or something and that's pretty much it.

I bought this "toy" because it looked interesting. It is more than it is downright addictive. At first, the motion was haphazard, but I tinkered with the support arms to bring it into alignment and it now works perfectly. The shuttle continues to rotate once with each swing of the outer circle. It was a little noisy, but a little Vaseline on the rotating pieces solved that. I am so glad I bought it. The grandkids love it.

Reviews of Workbooks-Math Basics Grade 3

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this workbook to give my son a preview of 3rd grade over summer vacation. I really love this booklet and for the price, it cannot be beat!

It consists of 56 pages of math activities with an Answer Key in the back. The last page is a certificate for the child after completion. The back of the booklet provides additional activities to reinforce the math concepts learned.

It is divided into sections (4 digit addition & subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.). At the beginning of each section, a brief summary is provided to show demonstrate the math concept. I found this to be very helpful as a parent since the way math is now taught is different from how I learned. It can be confusing for a child to learn a method at home when different terminology is used by school ("regrouping" versus "take away" when subtracting). It really helps for the parent and teacher to be on the same page when learning something new.

I highly recommend this booklet for review or preparation for 3rd Grade math!

What is great about these books is they seem to cover the majority of the grade level math with a few pages of exercise problems at a very cheap price approx. $3. The Deluxe Edition contains 2x more content than the less expensive NCTM books ($2), so be cautious when you order. You will notice the "Deluxe Edition" label is printed on the front cover upper RH corner of the book. This Grade 3 Math Basics book happens to be a Deluxe Edition version.

If you want more practice exercises for your children, then Kumon offers great workbooks based on grade and math subject. Here are some 3rd grade examples:

Word Problems (Kumon Math Workbooks Grade 3),

Grade 3 Division (Kumon Math Workbooks),

Grade 3 Multiplication (Kumon Math Workbooks),

Geometry & Measurement, Grade 3,

Grade 3 Addition & Subtraction (Kumon Math Workbooks),

If you are home schooling and your children need lots of practice exercises, then go with Kumon. Kumon cannot be beat for exercise practice! Some other really good books that Amazon sells which target specific math topics and give you lots of practice exercises are produced by Chris McMullen. Do a search with his name in Amazon to find his books.

If you just want a little practice material for your kids to do during the school year, or summertime, then this book would fit the bill at a lower cost than Kumon. You can also find free practice worksheets on the web, search for Math Drills.

Good book. We had our daughter do just 2 pages a day this past summer between third and fourth grade so that she wouldn't get too rusty over the summer. She actually did not mind doing it as it was a nice review and well-organized.
