I know we are all terrified of our baby dying from her toy but the handle size is ridiculously small. It wouldn't be a strangulation hazard if the handles were big enough for them to get the purse up on their shoulder but not over their head. Baby heads are large. I also thought the accessories were dumb. I returned this purse and went and bought my baby a tween purse that she loves. I also bought her the Hello Phone and a set of keys to go in her purse all for not much more than this "toy" cost.

I have twin boys and both like it, one loves it. We also have an old version of Lamaze's clutch cube; Same idea to this pyramid but the pyramid is more interesting to them. It has more black (more contrast) and the entire toy crinkles. It also has a face on it. The boys smile at it. It is more stimulating than the Lamaze cube.

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.

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.

Discovery Kids Interactive Spark Talking Globe Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Our kids got this as a gift and we figured it would be educational but we didn't realize how much they would enjoy it. It is interactive enough that it holds their attention and they have learned a whole lot from playing with it. It is easy for them to operate on their own, and we love that it has different volume settings (and even a headphone jack!). It is very 'hands on' in that they touch a country/region, see where it is in the world, and then get to learn about it. And of course they love the fact that they can teach us what they learned. Oh, and it shuts itself off after a period of inactivity, so no worrying about someone leaving the toy on and running the batteries down. When other families have come over and seen the globe, most agree that it's one of the best ones they've seen. I definitely give this globe a thumbs up!!!

Toy is sturdy and holds fascination for long periods of time. Feel it is best to have adult supervision initially for best learning. Provides entertainment even without supervision. Requires 7 AA batteries but does not drain them quickly.

Best Educational Insights Hot Dots Math Flash Cards - Addition Deals

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $11.23
Sale Price: $8.99
Today's Bonus: 20% Off

These flash cards use the Hot Dots pen to self-correct your child as they learn. Using one of the flash cards, the child will choose the correct answer to the problem presented. They touch the circle next to the answer they select using the pen. The pen will flash a red light and/or make a sound if they are wrong. If they are correct, the pen will flash a green light and/or make a sound.

The cards are double-sided, so there is a problem on each side. The answers are not on the cards themselves. The answers are given on a separate sheet of paper included with the cards.

The cards have a white plastic index-card size case to store them in.

The cards are not colored, they are simply black and white. There is an addition problem in the center of the card, and two columns of possible answers on either side of the card.

On every card, the child must add two numbers and then select the correct answer. It may help to give your child manipulatives or scratch paper to do these problems.

My children enjoyed these cards much better than traditional flash cards or workbooks.

I would recommend these for first or second graders for reinforcement of school work.

The cards do not come with the Hot Dots pen, so you will need to purchase that if you do not have it already.

The idea behind Hot Dots making learning more fun is great, but the execution just isn't there. The flashcards are rather thin, and unless you have the pen aligned perfectly on the dot and perfectly up and down, which what 5-9 year olds are going to, you get inaccurate results. My 7 year old is constantly complaining that she chose the correct answer, but the pen said it was incorrect. Very frustrating for her!

Cheap Lamaze Cloth Book

Customer Ratings:

The Peek-a-Boo Forest book (designed for ages 6m+) is very cute. Has very bright colors, and peek-a-boo flaps that lift away on each page to reveal a cute animal (e.g. move the tree to see the moose, move the leaf to see the owl, etc.). There are five two-page spreads each asking "Who is hiding behind the [tree or whatever]?" on the lefthand side, then revealing an animal beneath a crinkly flap on the righthand side. The featured animals are a moose, an owl, a bear family, a raccoon, and a beaver. The front cover also features a bird with a raised, fuzzy, crinkly face. Between the bright colors, the repetitive peek-a-boo activity, and the simple text, this seems very age-appropriate for my 6mo old. And more importantly, he agrees he loves it!

Note that these books are designed for different ages (the ones targeting older babies have a bit more of a storyline, etc.). Here are the guidelines for all of the different books in the series as given on the packaging:

0m+ Panda's Pals

0m+ How do I Feel?

6m+ Peek-a-Boo Forest

6m+ Emily's Day

6m+ Farm Sounds

6m+ Little Big Top Circus

12m+ The Tale of Sir-Prance-a-lot

12m+ Captain Calamari's Treasure Hunt

12m+ Baby on the Go

18m+ Counting Zoo

My baby is 7 months old and he's learning to sit while trying to grab whatever in front of him and put it in his mouth. I bought this book because I wanted to introduce him to a concept of "book" while at the same time let him play or chew on it.

So far, my baby likes this book. He really gets entertained by the different color pages (there are 5 pages), crinkly material and short sentences. Material is really nice, easy to clean I just toss in the washing machine along w/ all the baby clothes. The thing I like the most about Lamaze is the size; This book is larger than usual cloth book (larger font size as well). So, very nice for clumsy baby hands and developing eyes. At first I thought the book is pretty expensive however after receiving this book in the mail, I think it's worth the price. I even ordered another one of different story.

Best Deals for Lamaze Cloth Book

Not the best cloth baby book out there, however the story is cute and the characters are adorable. My reason for three stars is the lack of different textures in this book. if your kid likes crinkly stuff this is all about it, but thats the majority of the textures. I recomend Squishy Turtle and Friends over this because each page in that book has a new tactile sensation.

Honest reviews on Lamaze Cloth Book

Soft, colorful book with crinkly peek-a-boo pages. My 3.5 month old hasn't been interested in too many of his toys yet, but he did take to this book immediately! While reading I can see his interest in the colors and the crinkly noise the peek-a-boo pages make. The book is light enough for him to hold and he enjoys putting the pages in his mouth. Cute book and I'm glad he liked it!

Update: 9/12/11

I've washed this book twice so far and no fading or changes! Baby is now 5.5 months and still loves the Peek-A-Boo Forest. In fact, we don't even need the book to entertain him. We just recite the peek-a-boo rhymes whenever baby is down in the dumps (aka: crying in the car) and he perks right up, smiling/giggling at each peek-a-boo mention :)

I was so happy to find this book. Finally, a soft, textured book that has more than 2 pages to turn! The soft Priddy books, e.g., Squishy Turtle and Fluffy Chick, have only 2 pages to turn, evidently a downgrade from earlier versions which had an additional page. I'm happy to pay an additional 3-4 dollars if it means getting a more substantive book, as you do with this Lamaze book.

In addition to Peek-A-Boo Forest being highly attractive, the rhymes are very appealing. My near 7-month old son lights up with big smiles when I read the book.

As one review (at this time) mentions, you don't get a variety of textures here, like in the soft Priddy books, but babies really do love the crinkly sound, and there are plenty of other books/toys out there you can buy with multiple textures. What this book lacks in tactile variety it makes up for with quantity of pages and quality of writing/illustrations.

My one complaint (and the reason for downgrading my rating to 4 stars) is that on several pages, the animal is not completely covered by the flap, making the "Peek-a-Boo" aspect not quite as surprising as it should be. The flaps need to be either bigger and/or sewn in a slightly different place to optimize coverage of the animal. The error is particularly egregious on the last page with the beaver. Maybe it's just my copy...

Discount LeapFrog Enterprises, LeapPad Carry Case Polka Dot

Customer Ratings:

This is a well-made, mildly-padded case to protect a LeapPad or LeapPad2 from scuffs, drops, and falls during transit, and it includes storage for up to 6 cartridge games. The zipper is of good quality with a nice large pull to help small children operate it.

Although the case has molded recesses to match the size/shape of the 6 cartridge games and the LeapPad device, only the cartridge slots have retention elastic sewn in. Unfortunately, there is no retention strap or elastic pocket to retain the LeapPad, and the molded recess is not deep enough to "snap" the device in for a friction fit. Consequently, when you open the case, you need to pinch the sides securely in your hands or hold it horizontally to retain the LeapPad. If not, it will drop right out because it rides loosely inside the case. I find that ironic and slightly disappointing because the purpose of the case is protection, yet the use of the case by small children will likely result in MORE drops/falls. If they're standing on carpet at the time, this won't really matter. But if they happen to be near hard furniture, tile, or concrete, it could eventually damage or ruin the device. If you can teach your child to lay it down on a table or floor while opening it, (or to hold it horizontally while unzipping) it may not be a concern. I just thought I should mention it. The problem could've been avoided if LeapFrog had simply sewn in an elastic strap, end pockets, or a fabric sleeve over the main device compartment.

The 6 cartridge slots work great and help keep the small cartridge games from getting lost. I also like that the case is not obnoxiously bulky, though it does add about an inch of extra height/length/depth to the size of the device. If they were going to improve the case, it would also be neat to have a space to hold four extra AA batteries for long trips/vacations. Regardless, it's a good value for $10 $15.

This case is nice, it holds the LeapPad fairly well, and my 2 1/2 year old enjoys using it while in the case. It can be a little flimsy, that is why I did not give it 5 stars. But overall, not a bad purchase.

We are generally happy with the set. It's easy for our 19 month old to climb in and out of the seats by himself and the storage bin is handy. My only complaint is that the paint is easily scratched, and although the instructions state that touch up paints are available, I'd rather have the initial quality a little better. This wasn't what I would call inexpensive.

We have been very pleased with this table and bench set. Our daughter has used it for crafts, eating, reading, school work, etc. The reviewer who said her 2 year old leaned on the table and broke it must have gotten a defective one, because we've had this set for several years (maybe 5?) and it has held up very well despite being leaned on, sat on, stood on, and moved from one room of the house to another... never a problem. The finish has withstood crayon, glue, paint, pencils, markers; you name it! I have no doubt that the set will hold up for, at least, another 5 years for our baby when she is big enough to use it. The reviewer's son who broke the table must have been huge, because our 50 pound 7 year old and her friends still use this table and sit in the benches. Their legs are a bit long for the benches, but even at this age they don't "dwarf" it as the reviewer said her 2 year old does. It isn't small at all, so I have to wonder if that reviewer reviewed the wrong product. This really is a great set and worth the money. I wish they had the pastel colors back when I bought it; I would have bought that one instead of the primary.

We bought this table for our 20-month-old for Christmas. It was a big hit. She loves to sit at it and color and now eat her breakfast and snack. She can easily climb into the chairs and it is the perfect size for her but I can also see it growing as she grows. My husband found it easy to put together. Is easy to keep clean and seems very durable. Definitely would recommend it. Plus the way it all slides together, it doesn't take up much space.

This KidKraft set is a great addition to our one-year-old son's activity collection. It is very good looking, the quality is impeccable and assembly is, more or less, fairly straight forward if you pay close attention. Our son really took to sitting at this table I think it makes him feel a bit more grown up as opposed to his high chair, so he even prefers eating here.

With that said, the paint fumes move this 5 star product down 2-3 stars. The neutral bench is fine...the red, green and blue pieces are room-clearing with their paint odor. I called KidKraft (phone answered by a real, quasi-helpful person!) and they instructed me to leave it in a well ventilated area outside for 24-48 hours. Didn't even phase the smell. After washing it with Mrs. Meyers solution, then letting it sit for a FULL WEEK here in a hot, dry Arizona April, then wiping it down again with a Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap solution, I can safely say about 90% of the smell is gone.

KidKraft charge an extra ten bucks and get some less-caustic paint. It should not take a week to make a high-end product like this usable...

If you are willing to go through this hassle for an expensive accessory, you will have a solid piece that will last through several kids.

I purchased the Undercover Detective Activity Kit for my eight year old granddaughter. We combined it with a wig, false teeth, and a few other items in a backpack labeled "Lauren's Field Kit." It was such a huge hit with her and all the kids and adults. The uncles made up a crime scene by stealing something of hers and the aunts all helped her follow the clues. It was amazing and she still thinks it's her favorite gift of all times! We did put the fingerprint powder up for special usage as her little brother and sister aren't ready for that and I think neither was mom!
