Best Peek-a-Blocks Discovery Sports Blocks Deals

Customer Ratings:

All of the peek a blocks are fun. Although each set has a different 'theme' they are very similar and enjoyable to play with.

These blocks are great fun. Each block has something interesting inside it. In our house these have been played with by boys and pretty roughly at times. The windows to see inside are still clear and not one of these blocks have broken. So I would say they are sturdy and hold up well to normal play.

On the ends of each block is a texture. Within each block is something interesting. And many blocks have an activity associated with itpush a button to make a noise, twist a knob to make something turn around etc.

The one thing I would warn is that these blocks do not stack well, particularly in tall towers. So if you are thinking of buying these for tower building, I'd consider a different set of blocks. Otherwise, these are excellent toys.

They provide a basis for communication and vocubulary building with your child. They are sturdy and encourage language, eye hand coordination and so on.

If you enjoy toys that are fairly quiet, do more than have a push button to make a noise, foster independent creative play and exploration of the world this is an excellent toy.

Enjoy.

My 12 month old triplets have had these for months. They like them. We stack them and knock them down. They fit great in their hands. Sometimes they get very interested on what's inside, lol. I like the entire line they have.

I have a 6month old son and a 4 year old daughter and these blocks get them playing together. My daughter loves to build them up and my son loves to knock them down. He also likes them when she is not around, they are small enough he can grip them just fine in his hands and pass them from one hand to the other.

Honest reviews on Peek-a-Blocks Discovery Sports Blocks

These blocks are a lot of fun for babies and toddlers. They can shake them, stack them and look at the mini sports equipment in each block. They are also educational, as you can teach about the different kinds of balls, what you do with them, the colors, etc. Highly recommended.

Review of LeapFrog Letter Discoveries

Customer Ratings:

My 3 year old loves this toy. We bring this in the car or to the restaurant for my son to play with. Since he got it for Christmas, he has finally started to learn phonics which I had previously tried teaching him using flashcards. Like the other posters have mentioned, this toy's music doesn't drive me crazy. It's easier on the nerves than most. The toy has many features including a game in which children are either given the letter name or the sound and asked to locate the corresponding letter. It keeps score so you can monitor progress. The music option lets them play the alphabet song providing they hit the letter keys in order from left to right (like reading). Great toy! I would have rated it 6 stars had that been possible. We've had lots of electronic toys, but this has been mine and my son's favourite. LeapFrog toys are superior.

My niece is two and loves this toy. She plays for hours at a time and likes to mimic the sounds. I always buy educational toys and feel that Leapfrog has toys for all ages and children learn as they play. How can you beat that? If you want your child to be entertained and learn at the same time BUY THIS TOY!

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas and have really enjoyed watching her play with it. She sings the alphabet song along with it, which is a treat for me. My 5 year old nephew who is a special needs child also loves this toy, and loves the Letter Sounds mode. It has been dropped down a flight of stairs already and is still working perfectly. The option to turn the sound down is also great. Anyone who has kids knows that the most annoying thing is to hear a toy all the time, and when this is turned down it is definately manageable, and not nearly as distracting.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Letter Discoveries

Ok, my wife purchased the leap frog alpha-pet explorer from a used toy shop (At least that's where we get most of the kids toys, almost brand new, half the price). My boy loved it. Played with it for the first six months constantly. I had some individuals (mainly his speech therapist) state it should be used in moderation, and I agree. However, my son might not be talking as much as other children but he sure knows his alphabet. Ask him to bring some of his fridge phonics letters over (made by the same company) and he can do it by the letters name or sound (he could do this by age two). Would I use this toy as they only thing to teach the alphabet to my son? NO! Do I find it useful in moderation and to supplement other learning methods? Yes!!

*As a side note I have done a fair amount of research into early reading programs, and have had much better results with phonic based material.

My son received this as a gift when he was not quite two years old. He liked playing around with it right away but was really only able to play with two of the modes the music and the one that just tells you the letter. Now that he's nearing 3 year old he plays with this literally every day. He'll sit for 15 minutes (or more) at once playing with this. And he's clearly learning his letters and the sounds they make. Now he plays all the games on it and is learning about how to make his name out of letters. He enjoys it and it has been a great learning tool for him.

I like it because on the lower volume (which, lucky for me my son will leave it at) it doesn't annoy me in the slightest. Most noise-making toys annoy me too much.

Cheap Learning Resources - Inflatable Insects

Customer Ratings:

As a Master Gardener and an elementary school teacher, I conduct seminars on various garden-related topics. I find that the collection of giant inflatable bugs useful in lectures as an initial attention getter for both children and adults. I don't actually "play" with them, so I can't vouch for their durability. However, I have displayed them on tables, hung them on umbrellas, walls, fences, and trees, and I still have them all, with no patches or leaks. They are colorful, and and easy to inflate. I think they're great!

poor execution... I have to help my kid to unlock each time he wants to use it. The lock could have been made better so that the kids can handle it by themselves. Too expensive for a small diary with a pad lock!

Honest reviews on Peaceable Kingdom / Lock & Key Diary 'Happy Monkeys'

Bought three of the lockable diaries last year for Xmas for my 3 grandkids. The ideas was mine so I shouldn't have been too surprised when they didn't go over as well as I had thought. Like another reviewer said the keys are too small and get lost thus making the privacy of a locked diary a moot point. Check with the kids before you purchase.

It is a nice diary with sturdy binding. The little keys and lock would be easily broken if you tried, but same quality as other child diaries. It is a little more square than what the picture looks like and pages are wide-lined.

Buy C.R. Gibson Jill McDonald Kids Animal Alphabet Flash Cards

Customer Ratings:

I love the artwork on these cards. It has really cute packaging. I wasn't sure I'd like them when I ordered them because they didn't have both upper case and lower case on the pictures. However, what I discovered when I got them, the backs do have both upper and lower case (which makes me happy) and a the capital for the child to trace with a dry erase marker.

These cards have the most adorable artwork and have a good educational aspect to them. The biggest downside for me if the they are not printed on the board book type paper like some other cards. Within the first 20min of my 3.5yo handling them and drawing on them, there were bends and creases (very annoying for me personally.) Lastly, they come in a wide enough box that would have easily have fitted a board book type paper but they filled the extra space with a hallow box.

Make sure you have some dry erase markers if you get these.

Discount VTech - MobiGo Software - Toy Story 3

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my 3 1/2-year-old daughter, a huge Toy Story fan who has loved playing with the cartridge that came with her MobiGo.

There are four simple games here, and then there are two that are hard, even on the "easy" level. That ticked me off-the one featuring Woody is probably the hardest game, and of course, that's the one my daughter wanted to play most. She spent two days obsessed with that game, the first time I've seen signs of a real "gamer" in my little girl. It kind of freaked me out to see her get frustrated and moody because she couldn't get very far in that game. (I tried it, too, and found that the touch-screen was inaccurate-I would press to the right and Woody would go left, for instance.)

But then, after those two days, she actually won the game... and came to me, ecstatic. "I'm so proud of myself!" she said. "That was a really hard game!"

Hmm.

It made me see it in a different light. We all need challenges to beat, and this one turned out to be a positive one for her. Still, though, I wish there had been a third level-"easy," "medium," and "difficult," maybe-making the "easy" level actually easy. And I wish the touch screen were more accurate. It's close, but not quite, and that matters on the "On the Conveyer Belt" game.

My daughter loves that she can hear the characters' voices in parts of the games, and that the game congratulates her when she does well on the easy level and asks if she wants to move up to the difficult level.

I like that there really is an educational component to these games (counting, patterns, etc.) as well as entertainment.

My 4 year old has a Leapster she got for Christmas a year ago. We bought this for my almost 3 year old since the touchscreen seemed a little more interactive and easier to play at such a young age. Turns out, my 4 year old loves playing and while my 3 year old loves watching. They are both learning many different concepts like shapes and addition. The graphics are wonderful and the touch screen interaction is easy to understand how to work. Plus, Toy Story 3 is the most popular movie in our house right now.

I bought this for my four year old grandaughter on her birthday and on the eve of a long-distance road trip. It did all that I hoped kept her amused for most of the road trip and for most of the week we spent away from home. It is a great toy and one of the best things I have so far bought for her. It was simple enough for her to navigate with just minimal training from her mom, but challenging enough to keep her attention and want to "play again". I bought one additional game, but the three games which come with the system are more than enough to start. I would definitely recommend the MobiGo for children three years and up.

This is a beautiful piece of art. It hangs in my massage therapy studio and I look at it frequently just to follow the lines of the bones, muscles, and body outlines as I imagine working with a client. No comments from my clients yet, but this is a male anatomy-correct poster, so anyone who looks will see a penis. Strangely missing is the Quadratus Lumborum (QL), unless I just haven't found it yet. It is expensive, but I consider it to be professional.

LEGO Duplo Little Forest Friends Counting Game Review

Customer Ratings:

This game is really sweet, and a lot of fun with preschoolers. My two year old has giggly fun counting the number of steps during play for each person. Each play card in the basic set has a number and countable forest things like flowers, snails, ladybugs, etc. Additional card sets and more complex rules can be used to make the game more challenging for older children... addition and subtraction sets. The game pieces include the cute Little Forest Friends in four different colors, small snail and flower cards to add complexity on the board, and 3 duplo bricks in each of the four colors (2-4 players). Really cute and very fun to play such a game with a child just learning how to take turns and count!

I have to say, that it is a really a shame when such cute, simple and fun toys with educational value ends up being so difficult to find. When the price gets way too high, such toys become unobtainable for the very kids that could get so much joy out of playing with them with 'grownups'. I got this game for less than $10 on Ebay just a few months ago, and I hope that Lego can make this game again and make it more widely available, at a price point that makes it accessible to more kids.

TickleMe Plant Deluxe Greenhouse Kit with Paint Set and Fun Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I saw all the great reviews about the TickleMe Plant Greenhouse and wondered if we could paint the greenhouse, as our family loves craft projects too. I stumbled upon the TickleMe Plant Greenhouse with the Paint set. Wow! What fun.

We planted the seeds in the soil pellets as instructed. We then painted the greenhouse and in a few days the plants sprouted!

It wasn't long before the second set of leaves formed and guess what the leaves folded up like magic when we tickle them. They also opened back up shortly after. So now we had a gardening, craft and sort of a science project all in one. Highly recommended!
