Buy Learning Resources - Jumbo Numbers & Operations Stamp Set

Customer Ratings:

I was disappointed to find that the number "13" stamps as "31" because of manufacturing error. This proves difficult to use it in the classroom. As I needed it as a remediation tool immediately, I will be trying to fix it myself. However, very disappointed that for the price there was such a basic error, and now something I wanted to use with ease, has become a problem.

The stamps are a perfect size for my classroom use. I had hoped to use them often, but already 2 have cracked. The "handle" part of the stamp is made of a single piece of formed plastic that has a little give, but if pushed on with much force, will crack. I have been trying to think of a product I could put inside the handles, that would reinforce them before more break. As far as the numbers, they are great, the size is super, all of my students are able to pick them up and place them properly. I teach self-contained special education, my class is upper elementary age some have some motor delays as well.

Honest reviews on Learning Resources - Jumbo Numbers & Operations Stamp Set

Bought this stamp to help teach my children early stage in math. Because currently they are young (4 years and 2 years old) They just play with the stamp. When time to tidy up, It's a game to recognize number 1-20 for my son. and 1-10 for my daughter. I can predict I will be using this stamp until my children finished elementary school.

I purchased two of these nets, one each for my 3.5-year-old and 1.5-year-old, and they love it! At just under 24" total length, it's long enough for the kids to reach up (fairly) high to catch insects, but not so long as to make it unwieldy, even for my 1.5-year-old. As with all Melissa and Doug products, it seems very well-made and sturdy and the cute, colorful design is an added bonus. Very pleased with purchase!

I had one bug net and after they caught "each other" 20 or so times, the net was destroyed. This one is actually sturdy and the handle is great. The other ones feel like a wire is going to poke out at any moment and stab someone.

This is a very sturdy net that can capture bugs but also fish in tide pools, etc. My grandkids love it. She carries it around everywhere and wants to capture everything. She lives by the ocean and tidepools are her favorite to go "fishing" as she describes this activity. It's colorful and cute. This was a real plus.

Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Happy Giddy Bug Net

It's hard to see the bugs through the colored mesh. White mesh would be better.

The handle is too short.

This net is perfect for catching various animals on lawns or in swamps. I am an animal enthusiast and had a hard time finding a net that would either not tear or have a broken handle after a few long trips to the creek.

LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game - Disney Princess: World of Review

Customer Ratings:

The Leapster2 was one of my daughter's birthday gifts last year (when she turned 5), at the time I also purchased 3 games for her (the I Spy treasure hunt, Tangled, and First Grade cartridges). Of those, the I Spy game has been her favorite and gotten the most replay.

I purchased this game (Disney Princesses: World of Enchantment) as a Christmas gift to expand her collection, and it has quickly become her new favorite. The games are fun and engaging, with just the right amount of challenge, and it has excellent replay value. Because it doesn't follow the storyline of a movie (like the Tangled game does), it is much more interesting to replay and definitely more educational. I highly recommend this game, and so does my daughter!

My son received this as a christmas gift, and thoroughly enjoys it. This is not a regular DVD. It is designed to go with the "Read With Me DVD" system (a separate remote control that works with it on your TV). A previous reviewer was not aware of this, so it should not have received a bad review for consumer error.

Reviews of Write-Abouts Story Starters; Grades 1-3; no. MC-W2021

Customer Ratings:

These little writing aides are just plain awesome and perfect for my 9yr son. He is smart as a whip but when it comes to creative writing he goes totally blank. It's easy to use:

There are three sections that flip back and forth on a spiral and he just has to flip through each one and follow the idea hand lands on. Example, you have a sandwich that is rotten and can talk. Definitely good for children to improve their creative writing.

I bought a few of these for my 2nd grader who is struggling a bit with reading and writing. His main issue with writing is coming up with ideas to write about and this solves that problem. Now on evening and weekends he prefers to write a story than to play with toys. He loves flipping through and selecting the character, setting and plot. He writes 1-2 stories a week using these to help him come up with the story. His teacher has even noticed an improvement with his reading and writing skills in just over a month. They are sturdy too, like board books and still look brand new after 2 months.

I teach third grade and I use the Story Starters every week in my classroom. My kids get a character, setting and plot every Monday and then they have the week to come up with their stories. On Friday, they share them with their classmates, and then I collect them all to read over and grade them. I created a simple rubric that I use and it gives me an easy writing grade. The kids love them and it is an easy way for me to constantly monitor their writing skills! The other teachers on my team loved my Story Starter so much that I bought them each one of their own so they would stop stealing mine! They use theirs all the time as well.

Reviews of Thames & Kosmos Classic Science Milestones in Science

Customer Ratings:

This kit contains numerous fun experiments you can perform yourself using common household items and some items you might find at your local hardware store. The kit features stories of how our early inventors discovered new and exciting ways to tap into the interesting world of science. This kit would be very useful to use even for science projects at school or just for the beginner inventor/scientist.

I bought this for my 12-year-old for Christmas. He's been having a ball with it, and learning a lot. My only complaint was that it didn't come with something to organize all the little pieces. But I noticed that ahead of time, and was prepared with a small tackle box for him to put everything in. So far, he's been able to do most of the projects with minimal assistance.

Best Deals for Thames & Kosmos Classic Science Milestones in Science

This was our son's "big gift"; he's a 7 yr old who wants to be a scientist when he grows up. Highly recommend purchasing a tackle box or some storage solution to store all of its small parts. While we realize most of the stuff you could cobble together yourself, for us, it was just easier to purchase a science kit with all the parts. I knew the science experiment materials would be made of cheap plastic (and they were), but I was expecting a hardcover, sturdy book for this price. Unfortunately the "manual" is a flimsy paperback (why I rate this product a 4). However, the content of the book is great jus wish it were more durable. So far we've completed 4 experiments and they've been easy to follow with great discussion questions. It's a lot of fun and very educational (not in a boring way).

Honest reviews on Thames & Kosmos Classic Science Milestones in Science

Haven't had too much time to look at it myself but the one I bought it for has spent enough time reading through the history and how to do the experiments that I know it is well liked. Definitely a good buy for the inquisitive young science student.

This toy is a lot of fun for my son. He shakes it to music, bangs it like a drum, and carries it around. He hits it with other toys and so far it has not suffered any damage.

However, this seller is charging AS MUCH for this toy as I paid for a 6-piece set. Buyer beware and shop around for prices. I bought the Edushape Baby's 1st Birthday music set, which came with 5 instruments (including this drum) and a CD for $20 on sale. The regular price was $25. I dont know why this seller is getting away with selling one piece from that set for $20!!!

I bought this drum for my 1 year old to pound on. It has lasted a few months. I am not sure if she sat on it or it was stepped on, or if was simply leaned on, but the siding is a thin piece of decorated cardboard that is woven together at the seams. The top and bottom fit into grooves in the plastic pieces. No adhesive or anything holds it together. The siding has crinkled and collapsed beyond straightening out and the cardboard has come out of the grooves. I have seen other reviews that mention this product should last forever. I doubt it. The sound is great, the rest of the toy is great, but it is held together with cardboard. Junk.

This drum is perfect for the under-5 child who wants to have fun banging on a drum while marching around the house. It is not a true musical instrument for the budding Neil Peart drummer virtuoso in your family. It is durable, as both of our under-5 boys not only bang on it, but they also stand on it, sling it around the house, and play on it. Also, the rope that holds it around the child's neck has a plastic disconnector so it won't choke our sons nor hurt their necks.

Honest reviews on Drum Musical Toy

Great drum for a 2year old. My grandson is very active and has even attempted to stand on top of the drum and it is still perfect. When you think drum, you think loud; but, not the case. I love the break-away strap (the strap that goes around his neck), sometimes it breaks away too easily, but ; better safe than sorry. :) I read the reviews on this item prior to purchasing and noticed that a couple of people complained about the drumsticks that came with the drum. So I purchased a separate pair of drumsticks when I purchased the drum and I'm glad I did. He definitely liked those drumsticks a lot better than the drumsticks that came with the drum. Overall a great product and I would definitely recommend.

Our nine-month old loves his little piano. Here he is sharing his first composition.

We got this piano for our two boys (4 & 2-1/2) to help them begin to learn how to play music. This piano makes it so easy for them with the colored key code that fits above the keys so that they can follow along with the music book. The look on their faces as they play (and sing along) with the songs is absolutely adorable!

For us, we found the sound of the piano to be fine no issues. One nice thing is that it's just loud enough...if you know what I mean. This keeps them occupied for hours on end.

When I first got this piano, the thing that bothered me was that the notes at the top of the keys is just a sheet of paper, barely glued on. I didn't know it was like this till a one-year old started picking at it, when I discovered it's only tacked by glue at either end. So, with a paintbrush, I glued it in and there it stayed. Then today, the whole thing fell apart when my tweenage son picked it up to move it. Keys, panels and everything just fell apart when it was picked up it's as if the glue gave out. It's just not made well. It's glued together with pegs. Melissa and Doug, you've disappointed me. I paid full-price for this item, and didn't mind because of the M&D brand name and thought we'd have it for years. We've had it for less than 6 months. I see it is now about 22 dollars less...

CHEWY STIXX JUNIOR ORAL MOTOR TUBES TOP SELLING CHOCOLATE FLAVOR Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I used this to get off some annoying afternoon eating habits that I suspected to just fulfill the need to chew something more substantial than gum. I'm a healthy adult and can chomp on this all I want without making a dent (unless I do my best to pinch little chips off with my canines, that would probably work if I really put myself to the task on a rainy day). Chocolate flavor is very muted and can't really taste it after a while, which is obviously a bit of a pity. Works well though.

i bought this for a sensory toy for a memory care unit at my work. the residents will carry it around and move the "spaghetti" around in their fingers. i wanted to see what all the fuss was about so i brought it to my desk one day and found myself playing with it while on the phone. it actually is quite relaxing, especially when you feel you need to be moving but have a stationary task to be completed. i would buy it again.

I ordered the Spaghetti Ball on a whim, while I was searching for a new Koosh. I'd never seen it before and I though it was worth a try. It is just as fun as a Koosh ever was! The "tentacles" are slightly slimier than a Koosh, but nothing near as slimy as the squishy balls I've seen at Walgreens. My 3-y-o who has sensory processing disorder didn't mind the mild sliminess, and he won't play with playdoh. We've had a lot of fun this morning, swinging, bouncing, throwing it, and wearing it on our heads like a wig! The only negative is that if you swing the ball by just one or two strands, the strands will break, but that's no big surprise. I gave it a 3 for educational value, b'c I was really surprised that my little boy who is usually so sensitive about textures and sliminess would play with it. I thought for sure that he would drop it as soon as he felt it. He was excited to try it out, but when I gave it to him, he looked at it funny--like he wasn't too sure about this thing--but then he started to bounce it. I feel like it has value for introducing kids to new textures, and will be good for language stimulation.
