Cheap Explore & Discover Color Viewers

Customer Ratings:

Good educational value but the "fun" quotient only lasts for so long. Then it's time to put them away till they are "new" again and get them out and let them explore all over again. :) Still recommend them for helping to learn about colors and how to blend colors to make things like orange, green, purple... Different ages will get a different learning value from them so they have longevity. My kids are 5.5 and 2.5 yrs old.

My 10 year old daughter saved up her allowance money to buy this guitar. She is thrilled to say the least and although she doesn't know how to play the guitar yet she hasn't put it down and she is already trying to teach herself cords. The quality is better then I had expected ^_^ and it sounds great. This guitar is perfect starter for little girls or adults that can't handle a regular sized guitar. Money well spent!

The picture Amazon are showing is not the same style as the current guitar being sold. The current guitar is a normal dreadnaught cutaway shape. This picture is very misleading and Amazon are actually mis representing the item by showing it.

This is better than what I expected. The smaller size and the thin neck is perfect for a woman's hands. On regular size guitars it is really hard to hit certain cords. It is well built and durable. Only problem is that the description indicates that it comes with a gig bag. Well it doesn't, so buy one seperatly. It is beautiful and worth the price.

Honest reviews on Daisy Rock Wildwood Daze Short Scale Acoustic Guitar Pack

We bought this for our 7 yr. old daughter. It is perfect. It is a beautifully made guitar. It sounds great and it stays in tune. The size is perfect for her small body and it will probably last her 2-3 years. I couldn't have found a more perfect fit.

This is a very pretty guitar that sounds good and is the perfect size for small hands. The 3/4 scale makes it highly portable and easy to store. As mentioned by others, the item did not include a gig bag as advertised at the time of my purchase. I knew this going in, so it was not much of a surprise. I was surprised however to discover that the item received is not quite the same as what is shown in the product image.

The lines of the guitar I received are less stylized than what is shown. The curves are not as curvy and the cutaway not as pointy. I looked at the Daisy Rock website and couldn't find any guitars in the WildWood collection that look quite like the product image on Amazon. I can only conclude that Daisy Rock has updated the design but Amazon has not gotten around to updating the product image.

I still really like the guitar that I received but would say that anyone thinking of buying this item should first check out the Daisy Rock website so you can get an accurate idea of what you will receive and then make your decision accordingly.

Kid O Stack and Nest Cups Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My husband bought these for our 5 month old baby. The biggest design flaw is that it has pointy tops. The age range says 0 months My baby was practicing sitting upright but occasionally falls forward. She narrowly missed this toy when it was pointing up thank goodness or else it could've damaged her eye! I think once your baby is sitting up completely unassisted and does not fall forward maybe around 8 months then it would be safe but any earlier and it is not.

Asthetically it is a cute toy and an artistic alternative to regular nesting toys. Not quite sure why it is labeled a bath toy.

I bought these for my son when he was six months old. He loved to push them around and put things in them. He loved it when I stacked them. He is now ten months old and can stack and play with them more independently. These are GREAT for travel...they take up very little space and are perfect toys for hotel rooms. We travel a lot and I always bring these stacking cups with us because they can be used for so many different purposes!

Best Deals for Kid O Stack and Nest Cups

This is a really durable set of stacking and nesting cups. It is made of a nice hard plastic and the colors are very vibrant. My baby LOVES these cups. They will get her attention whenever we put them in front of her. She likes to mouth them and bang them together. She also likes to knock over the "tower" if we stack them for her. She has had them since she was 3 months old and now she is 8 months and still loves them. I don't see her interest in these blocks waning. HOWEVER, her daddy hates these blocks because they look slightly dangerous. The corners of the cups are tapered and end in a point. I understand that it is a design statement and makes the "tower" more interesting. Also, it allows a baby to stick the bit of the corner in their mouth... however, my husband is really paranoid that our baby will lose coordination and slam her eye into a corner. Babys aren't very coordinated and it might happen.... I think it's pretty unlikely and I like this set of cups... we have another set of stacking/nesting boxes from Melissa and Doug made of Thick cardboard... those are good too.

Honest reviews on Kid O Stack and Nest Cups

My two year old really enjoys this toy. While she never stacks the cups (which is hard to do in the tub because they float), she enjoys using them to pour water on her herself. My only complaint is that I have to wash them reguarly as they get mildew.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Kid O Stack and Nest Cups

These have been interesting to my kid since he was around 1 year old. They are bright fun colors, and I love that they stack together as well as into a tower. That's a mind bender for a toddler. The tops of the cups have grooves that the little corner feet can slip into, which makes it easier for small people to get them in the right spot. Great for building dexterity and spacial concepts.

We use them out with other toys, as well as in the bath to pour liquids, or to fill with objects, or for pouring with texture play.

Okay, so my 1 year old son was facinated with this piano. But it sounds horrible. I mean Awful. In fact, we were afraid that the sound, which is very and very and VERY off tune, will ruin his musical inclination. I dont mind the chime but its too off tune. So we packed it up and back it goes.

This is a pretty, four-legged piano with helpful color-coded keys. We purchased it as our big "Santa" gift to my daughter for Christmas. It arrived quickly and was extremely easy to put together. My daughter, who is almost 5, was delighted when she saw it and enjoys tinkering on it. I suppose our only complaint is that it does not really sound like a piano. It is definitely a toy and sound like one. Overall, though, we're happy with our purchase.

Update....we had twin boys last year. This toy is the first thing the (now) one year-olds want to see when they wake up and run in the play room. They love banging on it and making "music" and the keys are not too loud as to drive everyone crazy. It is apparently sturdy enough to handle the delightful hammering of two small boys. We still love it!

This was absolutely wonderful for my year old nephew! I would not suggest it for children over three, as it is pretty small. The sound is not fantastic (it sounds like a child's xylophone), but isn't annoying like other models. All in all it is a great buy and a wonderful introduction to piano for toddlers.

Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Grand Piano

Last week I bought the baby grand piano for our grandchild. At the store there was one piano in the box, none on display. I paid $138 and all sales were final. I was pleased to see the black finish and the bench was so cute. I was very disappointed to hear the notes, they sound like a "chime" or worse than a kids xylophone. I realize it's not a Steinway but I thought the sound would be better quality. I'm sorry I made this purchase, I wish I could return it.

I was so excited when my son received this as a birthday gift and he loves to sit and bang on it for a few minutes at a time. But when I tried to play some of the songs for him from the Songbook, I couldn't even recognize the songs half the time because the piano is so off key. Particularly the E. I was further disappointed with the songbook because it doesn't feature notes, just large color circles with the letter of the key in the middle that don't quite fit over the staff, so if you are interested in your child learning to read music, this will not be very useful. We are not planning to keep the piano, I'm just looking for a replacement (perhaps a keyboard) so that I can make the switch.

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 : )

Today's Bonus: 27% Off

This has been a big hit with my 6yo, especially the Fireflies Aglow game. She likes catching the light beams, then tossing them at the lightning bugs to make them light up and be happy again. She has to light them from top to bottom, or left to right. It utilizes her fine motor skills and I'm sure will help develop her writing.

There is also Flower Blooms which is a memory and pattern game, and Skate on Water that is tracing shapes. The creative games are making a fairy house, fairy sounds and photo fun if you have the Innotab 2 or 2S. She can take a pic with a leaf on her head or other fun things. Then, of course, there is the story which my daughter likes, too.

I like that there are two settings for the games, so when she masters the easy level, the fun isn't over. It is recommended for ages 5-7, but my almost 4yo can try out the easy levels of the games and not get too frustrated. This is definitely the favorite of the 3 we purchased, VTech InnoTab Software Disney Princesses and VTech InnoTab Software Hello Kitty, too. I'm really glad we made this purchase, and would definitely buy it again.

I love Sea Monkeys. They are fun to watch grow. I've had the classic tall red tank and it was great. This tank is too squat and it makes it really hard to "air" them without the special tool that has to be bought separately. Maybe that was the plan....Anyway-I recommend the taller/thiner tank so it is easy to pour the water to "air" them. Be sure to follow ALL of the directions.

This is a great product! It allows for adjustments that even more microscopes cannot offer. Also, the customer service is very helpful. One issue is that the 2000x magnification is difficult to adjust easily. This is understandable, because the magnification is really high for the microscope's design. The other magnifications come out clearly. Also, the stage only goes back so far. Sometimes I need to flip a slide around to view what the stage could not reach to. Finally, on the higher magnification settings, the stage needs to go higher than the objective lens to put the image in focus.

I could compare this microscope to the one I use at my university. What I like is that this microscope has some unique features (like the ability to add different color filters. Additionally, it can view higher magnifications. However, the one at my university has better adjustment control and therefore allows for a slightly better resolution (not saying this microscope does not give superior and very similar resolution).

Overall, this microscope is the best value with the amount of features it has and its price.

We are still in the preschool years and are already loving these. In fact, we've ordered a follow-up set of 155 (available here on Amazon) to have more 10s and 1s to work on place value. Look online for a free Cuisenaire Rod pre-Miquon primer that's great for introducing the values of the rods and concepts behind them.

The description wasn't very detailed, so here is the breakdown of our kit:

22 x 1 cm white blocks

12x 2 cm red rods

10 x 3 cm light green rods

6 x 4 cm purple rods

4 each of the 5 cm, 6 cm, 7cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, and 10 cm rods.

These were not exactly the same length as each other. Defeats the purpose! Also, they came warped slightly and they warped more over time. Totally annoying to try and use these with the Miquon Math program. Save yourself much trouble and buy the traditional wooden or plastic ones. If you must have the connecting aspect, buy Unifix Cubes instead.

Would not buy again.

Review of Melissa & Doug Flapping Penguin Push Toy

Customer Ratings:

I have 20 month old twins that have no trouble at all playing with the penguin and duck push toys by Melissa & Doug. They can push and pull and the penguin, especially, is easy to use and flaps it readily flaps its wings, making a soft clacking noise. This is a solid wood bird with solid wood rod and ball. Of course, it's going to feel heavy. People aren't used to seeing classic, hand-made inspired toys anymore so they give it low ratings. Also, all toys require supervision. A baby can throw or swing around any baby-safe toy and hurt himself or others. To give this toy a low rating for that reason is absurd.

With a little practice and showing them how, which took just a few minutes to master, my babies were having great fun with these toys and actually head for them before they play with the plastic toy sets. They also look so happy and confident when they play with these because their efforts bring about the reward of seeing the wings flap. Sounds simplistic, but you should see their faces. It's a confidence booster for them. I am so happy I bought these and feel like these will last a good, long time,as I'm hoping to pass these on to the next generation.

I bought this because my 16 month old's daycare has one that he really liked to play with. It's pretty sturdy and just the right height for him. The penguin is really cute and the flapping is not too loud (which is great for me). It is painted wood, though, and as soon as my son took it outside onto the pavement he tipped it over and dragged it so now the paint is worn off of that area. But, it's not that big of a deal to me or to my son. He thoroughly enjoys this toy and so does his 2 year old brother.

Reviews of VTech - Baby Tunes Music Player

Customer Ratings:

This is a wonderful toy! Our baby was born with Down's Syndrome and by the time he was two months old he had already figured out how to turn the toy on by pushing the large buttons (easily pushed by a baby who has weak muscles, a condition typical to Downs babies) or by letting out a loud scream if he was swaddled and couldn't push the buttons. When he is very fussy, this is the only toy that comforts him (when mommy can't). If he cries, the toy turns on by itself and immediately entertains him. He makes the most adorable faces and noises with this toy! I think this was the fist thing he ever truly smiled at! He loves the light which turns different colors at a soothing or upbeat pace (based on the song or tune playing), and if I sing or hum a song that this toy has, he immediately smiles and recognizes it! It motivates him to move his arms and work his eye muscles which is what his therapist wants him to do. It is easy to use and has a strap on the back that allows you to attach it to a crib. The "play", 5, 10, and 15 minute settings are also great. I love what this toy has brought out in our son. He is almost four months old and has not tired of it at all. I only wish that it had a silent setting sometimes, as that light seems that it could entertain him by itself (for nighttime). Otherwise, this is a fantastic toy in my opinion as it works very well for him! I'm buying him a second one for back up!!!

NOTHING BROKEN, MISSING, OR BUMBLED UP.
