teach ANY child or adult the "current" knowledge of the anatomy of

these prehistoric animals.....PLUS it's just FUN to look at when assembled!

Sculpting is ok but not scientifically accurate. Painting needs customizing for a less "factory" look. Not all parts fit easily.

Parts come loose in the package during transit and some of the paint gets dammaged.

Probably good for careful patient children, otherwise, maybe not.

Discount GeoCentral Box of Rocks Kit

Customer Ratings:

Good, but not perfect. Some of the mineral specimens have been tumbled and polished, which makes them pretty, but removes the diagnostic criteria (cleavage, crystal shapes) that are a basis for identifying minerals. Quartz appears more than once in the collection. Partitions in the plastic box that the collection comes in are thin, and in both of the boxes I bought a heavy specimen had broken a partition in transit, damaging the more fragile specimen in the adjacent cubicle. The accompanying booklet is good, but it shows some minerals that are not in the collection. The small magnifying glass is a good touch.

My son has really enjoyed this product and I like that it comes with a pamphlet that describes the different kinds of rocks. The container that the rocks came in has a few cracks on the bottom, however it is still very much usable.

I was expecting the rocks to be labeled in the kit. They came with a book that you are supposed to use to identify them, but the book had a lot more rocks in it than were in the kit. I could not tell what half the rocks were, which totally defeated the purpose of the kit. I'm going to send it back.

This is an awesome kit. I bought it for 2 of my grandchildren and they have spent hours with it. It is a perfect introduction to rocks and a great beginning for any child interested in things outside!

The rocks will be interesting to study for my 5 year old. However, the rocks came in a bag instead of the handy box. I would have liked to have the box to keep the rocks organized.

Discount 4M Dynamo Torch

Customer Ratings:

We purchased this toy for our 8 year old son. He loved it. Once the christmas festivities was over, this was the first toy he wanted to play with and construct. It took barely 15 minutes to work with him to put it together and then he played with it for days. It really got him asking questions about how it works, etc... and he even observed that with the cover it come with it projects light, but if you use a soda plastic bottle as the cover, it projects a brighter, larger light. It still has him asking questions, and he keeps it on his bed side as his emergency go to flashlight. Well-made and safe. A great purchase!

We purchased this Green Science kit for our nine-year-old son for Christmas. He was able to put it together by himself and it has held up to the rough handling of a child. He is still just as fascinated with it and is constantly experimenting with ways to use the 'torch', including reading under the covers after lights out. We are so pleased with the product that we have ordered several different kits for his upcoming birthday.

I was sad that the whole thing wasn't a build. It was easy to put together, but I still wanted the knowledge for my son to see the inside "guts". When he is done with playing around with it, he is going to take it apart piece by piece and study it. I was also disappointed that one of the wire holes was missing. We had to just wrap the wire around the tab which got loose. Easy fix, though. Overall.. I would say I wish it was more educational from the start, instead of having to take it all apart to understand the concept. My son did say he hopes there is no battery that he is just triggering to make it light up.

Honest reviews on 4M Dynamo Torch

I got this for my 8 year old nephew. I didn't get to see him put it together and play with it but I heard that he loved it. At first he was asking where the batteries were but when his dad explained that "he" was the battery he got super excited. He was amazed that he produced the energy to power the torch so I would say that this was a fun and educational toy.

I bought this for my son to help teach him how energy can be created. He absolutely loved it and now plays with it all the time. He likes to sit in his room with the lights off and crank away at the handle. I would give this toy two thumbs WAY up!

Cheap Elenco 9440 Breadboard With JW-350 Jumper Wire Set

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $35.60
Today's Bonus: 41% Off

Purchased this breadboard as a hobbyist expanding my knowledge in electronics.

The board itself is nicely sized (large), and allows for pretty decent sized circuits to be constructed. Basically, it is 4 standard breadboards side by side, with an additional bus strip run horizontally on the top, all connected to a solid backing. 4 binding posts allow for additional external components to be connected. It looks like it should last quite a while if treated well.

The jumper wires are of a very wide length of sizes, and allow for easy color coding when working in complex circuit prototyping. The box the come in (clear instead of the blue shown) allowed for easy organizing of the different sizes.

Overall, it's a pretty good combo, and reasonably priced for the size of board you get. Other than that, it's not too complicated of an item, so there's not really much else to say. 2 Thumbs up!

Nice sized bredboard for beginners. Big enough to stretch out and even comes with a bunch of pre-shaped wires. The poll pieces seem a little flimsy but so far have proven to be just fine.

I wasn't expecting much. Sorry Elenco but I never really considered Elenco to be top of the line stuff. This breadboard exceeded my expectations. The boards are mounted well and the holes seem like they will stand up well to constant use.

When putting on the banana jacks notice they are keyed both top and bottom. Line upt the flat ends in the hold when you tighten and they will stay in place.

I'll buy again and won't turn my nose up at Elenco products without trying them.

Honest reviews on Elenco 9440 Breadboard With JW-350 Jumper Wire Set

As many people noted, it's a breadboard so there's not much to say. The contacts I've used so far are all electrically sound, and I'm very happy with my purchase. My only nits, and thus a 1/2 star deduction (if Amazon allowed for a 4.5 star rating, that's what I would have given it), are:

1. The adhesive on the little rubber feet wasn't up to the task. I ended up having to dot them with some CA glue.

3. The kit comes with 4 feet, presumably one for each corner. Given the size of the board, it would have been nice to have gotten a 5th foot to place in the center for added support.

2. The 4 power terminals, unlike the rest of the board, are... cheap. It's hard to describe what I mean, but suffice to say one notices material quality, or lack thereof, as compared to the rest of the board.

I guess you can consider the added jumper kit either a great value, or an overpriced stand-alone (see Elenco 350 Piece Pre-formed Jumper Wire Kit). You can buy this same breadboard on Amazon for a $1.30 less if you don't want the pre-cut jumper wire set 9440 Breadboard-Prototype Design Aid, but personally I think this wire kit for that price delta is money very well spent... if only for the little parts box*. Needless to say, I'm in the "great value" camp. In fact, if I could get just the case w/ jumpers for $1.30 as a stand-alone, I'd order several more.

*DISCLAIMER. Who knows if this pricing will hold in the future. Do yourself a favor and compare before buying.

My First LeapPad Book: Dr. Seuss's There's a Wocket in My Pocket Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I think we own about half of the LeapFrog products on the market. My oldest daughter is four and this is by far her favorite! (I must also confess it is my favorite, as well as one of my wife's favorites.)

It brings together classic Dr. Seuss silliness through rhyme, as well as teaching kids to read by inventing silly creatures. The activities re-enforce the lessons in reading, rhyming and vocabulary, and these reinforcement activities are just as fun as the book's storyline.

I definitely recommend it to any parent seeking to expand their child's My First LeapPad library. You will enjoy it just as much as your children.

I just bought the My First Leap Pad Bus for my 28 month old. She wasn't very interested in it at first and I thought I'd just wasted $25...... until we got "There's a Wocket in My Pocket" to go with it. She enjoys the story and touching the different Seuss creatures with the magic pen to hear their silly comments (we especially love the jertain in the curtain page). It's a great book and has encouraged my daughter to give some of the other My First Leap Pad books a chance.

Great educational toy for preschoolers, heck my older daughter gets a kick out of it too. It's Dr. Seuss! Lot's of fun with words. Children will be entertained for a while. Too bad Leappads aren't made anymore. I think it's great eye, hand coordination. I know I know, leapster and explorer have better technology, but I think leappad is great for the younger children that may get overwhelmed with the more computerized choices out there.

Honest reviews on My First LeapPad Book: Dr. Seuss's There's a Wocket in My Pocket

My son (3 1/2) loves the characters in the First LeapPad book series, but doesn't really enjoy the LeapPad books. The pace is s-l-o-w. The orientation is instructional -and not very fun. The system depends on the reader pressing a green "Go" button to identify which page is active. Every page is framed by a border that is reserved for the successively located "Go" buttons. This works fine until your little pre-reader zips the stylus over the full page looking for hidden treasures and triggers a "Go" button for a different page. Then everyone's confused. If your child is used to structured learning, they'll probably like this a lot. If your child is used to the pace and interactivity of computer software, save this until they have some preliminary reading skills.

Best Cedar Pergola Adds Some Swing to Your Outdoor Decor Deals

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $799.99
Sale Price: $435.83
Today's Bonus: 46% Off

I ordered this pergola for my backyard. I am going to plant grapes next to it in hopes that they will climb up around and across the pergola over the next few years.

It was delivered to my house a little later than UPS arranged with me so I was not home. It was left on a wooden pallet in my driveway. I simply opened the box and moved all the pieces to my backyard as the box would have been too difficult to move by myself.

The directions state it will take two adults 5 hours to construct this pergola. I managed to put it together alone in about ten hours. The directions are clear and easy to follow except for the updated directions for constructing the swing part. I found those difficult as the new parts were not labeled the same way as the original parts...and the swing's side boards did not have some of the larger holes pre drilled. I ended up referring to the original swing directions and then adapted the new directions for attaching the chain, with the new parts to the swing. It seemed to me the updated directions are to ensure the swing stays safely attached to the pergola. I think it took me longer than the directions anticipated because I only have one old cordless drill, so I found by the end of construction my thumb hurt from unscrewing and screwing my chuck constantly, to change from my drill bit to screw bit over and over and over (two drills would have been much, much better.) I also made one artistic decision on the sun burst pattern found on the bottom sides of the pergola. The directions want two of the wooden rays to be at 90° angles (evenly spaced), but I decided one looks much better, and since this is for me I left one off on each side.

I am pretty happy with how it came out and I can't wait to see my grapevines covering it in a few years.

This pergola looks beautiful! I flanked it with two huge cobalt blue pots of bouganvilla, and am so pleased with the look. Quality of the wood and hardware is good.

Best Deals for Cedar Pergola Adds Some Swing to Your Outdoor Decor

What do you get when you order this product? You get a box full of pre-cut, stained lengths of cedar and a lot of hardware. The instructions are also included, but don't depend on those. They have misleading information and refer to pieces that aren't included or are labeled differently. Most of the holes are not pre-drilled, so you have to do that yourself. You'll need drill bits from 1/8" up to 1/2" to complete this project.

Despite the poor instructions, the finished product looks nice, which is why I gave it 3 stars. Two people can complete the assembly while working together. It took us two days and one night to build and assemble this Cedar Pergola Swing. After assembly, two average-sized people can sit comfortably with one small child in between.

Honest reviews on Cedar Pergola Adds Some Swing to Your Outdoor Decor

I got this swing to set under a tree in my front yard for my son and I to wait for the school bus. He is in Kindergarten and I wanted a designated place for him to be able to wait away from the street. It took a few days for set up because of time restraints. I was able to complete this project in about 3 days in 3-4 hour time frames per day. I also added some outdoor fabric over the top of my pergola because I have quite a few birds that love my tree also! The fabric is not visible from the street but it keeps debris out of the seat and makes things cooler in the afternoon. My son and I love that this swing has a raised floor. When it is raining it is a nice little place for us to wait for the bus.

Review of VTech - V.Smile Smart keyboard

Customer Ratings:

I bought this keyboard for my 5 yr. old grandson. He knows his letters and letter sounds very well. I thought this could be a good learning tool and the next step in his learning process. This would be OK for a 7 or 8 yr. old but at five it is just tedious for him. The games also dont give clear directions. The age range os decieving. It is just too complicated for a child that cant read fairly well. He has been playing his V Smile for 2 years and loves it. He has both the pocket version and the regular one. This would be a 5 star for an older child. Ill exchange it for something else.

I bought this because we have every other V.smile toy and it seemed like a fun addition to our set. Our V.smile is mainly played with by my 3 year old but I was hoping my 10 year old would like this because she likes learning to type. Well my 10 and 12 year olds can't put this down! They LOVE the games. This has A LOT to do on it. They can practice typing with fun games, there are arcade games, they can learn to write emails and there is also a feature where you can earn animals for your collection and they love that (sort of like the neopets website). There is so much to do. My 3 year old plays around with it but its really too advanced for her. An 8 year old neighbor was over last night and played with it for 2 hours! She loved it so much her mom went home and ordered it too! I think this might just be the best v.smile accessory yet (although the kids still LOVE the art studio too). I would recommend this for ages 5-10 (I think my 12 year old is a bit unusual that she likes it!). Great product. I don't write many reviews but the kids just loved this so much that I had to!

My 5 & 7 year old boys enjoy this keyboard. It's better than most qwerty advertised keyboards out there because this one has the shift key on both sides. You simply plug it into your v-smile & play, no batteries required. And it works like an extra controller... they can play all the other games using the controls on the keyboard. The tutorial for typing is great as well as all the other fun activities. And as always, you can order with Amazon with a peace of mind cuz their return proceedures are the best!
