Cheap LeapFrog LeapPad Ultra Gel Skin, Green

Customer Ratings:

This is my first gel Leappad gel skin. For my daughter's Leappad 2 we used the eForcity leather case. I agree with initial reviewer that it does not fit snug. Feels as if it shifts while in your hand. The shape, while not blocking any knobs, was a little off center which is unacceptable since Leapfrog is making it, not a generic manufacturer. I thought it would be a little thicker and more solid like the S cases for the Samsung phones. (No, I wasn't expecting an Otterbox)

My daughter does not usually drop toys, but I'm having a mini heart attack every time she moves with Leappad Ultra protected by just this skin. I'm looking for a case similar to the eForcity or there is an option for a gel skin with thicker edges to give some shock proof... for my nerves sake.

Meanwhile, the ultimate user has commented more than once in the two days that she has been using it that she liikes how it feels in her hand. Doesn't get sweaty. Hasn't slid off.

So from 3 stars the latter consideration moves it up to 4. BUT IT WILL BE REPLACED SHORTLY.

It does its job protecting the Leappad Ultra and looking good. Easy snap on, fits snugly and will not slip or slide off from kids.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog LeapPad Ultra Gel Skin, Green

Unlike the gel skin for the LeapPad 2, this gel skin does not fit securely on the LeapPad Ultra. It can easily be removed, and if you're not careful can slip off if you're handing it around the sides. This is a big disappointment. The gel skin for the LeapPad 2 fit super secure, even I had to work to remove it. Still, I guess if the LeapPad Ultra falls the gel skin won't fall off, but little hands can easily remove it. It's not a tight enough fit. Overall this an okay gel skin, great for older kids, but for the little guys and gals, it's easy to remove.

I am very happy with this product. The class liked the colors. It really helped them understand the different parts of the spine. Also very solidly made. I don't usually write reviews but getting this product in two days really helped me out of a potential bind. So I am grateful. I didn't buy the stand, I just propped the spine up when I wasn't holding it by hand.

Bought this because my kindergartener was having issues writing her name on a straight line. This really helped her being able to erase and then draw pictures wehn she was done with her name. Her school work started to improve after about 1 week.

The unexpected bonus was my 4 year old twins wanting to write the names and alphabet also.

I thought having 30 sheets was excessive even with 3 kids but I was wrong. After a certain amount of reuse, the mat gets "foggy". I have not tried the dry erase spray cleaner yet so that may be a solution for longevity.

But it is great that every night all three kids wants to practice writing new words on these mats

Cheap Guinness World Records Reading Book; 128 pages; Grade 5; no

Customer Ratings:

I bought this book today as I was looking for some reading comprehension text books to compliment my 9 year old son's curriculum. The fact that the book is by the "Guinness Book of Records" publishers appealed to me immediately. My son devours these books and others with a similar theme.

The inside page of the book states the following:

"Guinness World Records Reading is divided into five themed units, with each unit highlighting incredible achievements in a specific category. Some of the records are exciting, some are unsettling, and some of them are just plain unbelievable but, they are all extraordinary!"

and

"Each passage about a Guinness World Record holder is followed by questions that target such basic skills as recalling, summarizing, understanding the main idea, making connections, and drawing conclusions."

The five themed units are:

Amazing Animals

Engineering, Science and the Body

Earth Extremes

Game Time!

Wild, Wacky & Weird

The book is colorful with photos on every page. Each themed unit could easily be included with subjects being studied. I plan to add it into our lesson plans as a fun activity and I'm guessing he won't think its work!

Reviews of Lauri Tall-Stacker Pegs Building Set

I run a preschool and daycare program and I purchased this toy to augment the existing peg boards and pegs that we currently have. I think the concept is great however the materials are lacking especially for the price. The base board is thick enough to support the pegs and building however the platform pieces are very thin. My kids were super excited to play with the set but we've already had several bouts of tears because unless they keep the pegs in alignment with the lower level pegs, the structure collapses. Maybe this is a great way to teach building structure concepts for older children, but for preschool aged children, it has become an exercise in frustration. Also, the pegs are not compatible with other pegs found at teacher supply stores so the sets cannot be mixed together. Since this product just arrived I have no comment on the durability of the platform pieces but honestly, I am not that optimistic.

My 9 year old just informed me that if the platform pieces were thicker, the pegs wouldn't connect with each other. For this price, why not make the pegs slightly longer and the platforms thicker? Oh well, I think it is important to note these are not compatible with other peg sets purchased elsewhere, only with Lauri brand peg sets.

For my needs, If I had realized the differences I would not have made this purchase.

I had originally purchased this set for my 5 year old daughter. I'm not only a homeschooling mother of eight but I also have dual degree in elementary and special ed. I thought this would be ideal for my 5 year old and kicked myself for not finding this years ago for my older kids. Instead, when the box came, it was my 13 yr old who snuck this away to play with and only when his little sister happened to walk by and see it and she shrieked, "That's MY toy!" did he give it up.

My husband has also been caught playing with this too. It is alot of fun and very creative. Our family has spent hours playing with this.

The quality of the pegs are excellent and their large size fit nicely into any hand size. The large foam pegboard that makes the base is thick and sturdy. The pegboards that make the building platforms are very thin but sturdy during regular use.

Overall, we are thrilled with this new "electronically free" toy :)

Review of Kid's Board Game - The Great Cheese Chase By Peaceable Kingdom

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $15.99
Sale Price: $10.60
Today's Bonus: 34% Off

Maybe its because my husband and I play a lot of eurogames, but I can't stand most kids games. The pure luck of the roll and move games don't really appeal to me, nor do I think they teach children much of anything.

This game is simple enough for very young kids in that it is a roll (or in this case spin) and move game, however the layer of choices makes it wonderful to play with older children as well (I'd say 3-8 for actual challenge) Its perfect for siblings who think on different levels. While the game is relatively easy to win your choices of who and what to more when do make a difference.

As with all coop games the game is played against the board, not against each other. This simple concept of team is fantastic for children when you are trying to avoid the whole winning/loser sibling fight.

While I do like hoot owl hoot better, this is a great game. I prefer that game because it has different levels of game play based on how many owls you use, which I enjoy more. When the kids are old enough I would like to introduce them to forbidden island. Peaceable kingdom's entire line of games is a much better option over many of the 'traditional' kids games like candyland.

5 star because its a great game, but I gave it 4 because its not my favorite in their line up.

Peaceable Kingdom's cooperative games are always a big hit with us. We love how they nurture coming together to solve a problem and figure things out. They nurture team work and cooperation. These games are great for all kids, but especially the ones that get a little too competitive while playing typical games, and for those that may take loosing a bit too hard.

This is another great cooperative game from Peaceable Kingdom. Although I love traditional board games for kids they can teach competition, sportsmanship, etc. I also love these cooperative games! They teach kids how to work as a team!!! They are great for family nights as well! The Great Cheese Chase is a cute game where you are attempting to get the mice to the attic before the cat gets there. It helps kids with learning to take turns, counting, following directions, etc.! Definitely a cute, fun, educational game!

Got this for my five year old granddaughter. Five caterpillars arrived in the mail in about a week. All five cocooned in about 5 days and turned into butterfly a few days later; the granddaughter was thrilled.

Review of Tolo Toys Roller Ball Run

List Price: $26.99

Today's Bonus: 9% Off

I really like this toy. I bought it for my sons 1st birthday, but ended up giving it to him a few weeks early. My son started playing with it as soon as we gave it to him. I wasn't sure if I should buy it or not because there were no reviews. But, I went with it. At first I thought it was a little small. I don't know what I was expecting, and I didn't look at the dimensions. But after having it for a while, it is the perfect size. My son can sit with it on the floor, or stand and play at a table. Its perfect! He really enjoys putting the balls in and watching them fall. I'll hear him playing while I'm off in another room.

The balls don't make much noise. In fact, my orange one doesn't make any noise. The others ones just sound like they have a tiny ball inside that can hardly move. But even with that, my son will still shake them. The toy on the back = pointless. They should have just put a funny picture or something. The balls roll down it, then roll off and do not stay on the track. Maybe the track isn't deep enough. or maybe my house is slanted, either way my balls do not stay on it. But who cares, the front is too much fun to play with the back anyway.

Even with those two things, I would buy this toy for everyone I know, and plan to buy it for my nephew. I've caught Dad playing with it, and I too play with it. It's fun to make your own rhythm with hitting the balls down: all at once, a second in between, once they hit a certain slide silly I know, but fun.

Plus, the toy seems sturdy. I'm very pleased with how it is made, and it is bright and colorful. The balls have some weight to them, which I like. I wouldn't have wanted a flimsy light ball. The toy can teach color matching by putting the balls into their colored hole. It also teaches cause and effect and coordination.

One more thing. It has a knob on the side that is for stopping the balls. For my son now, he doesn't understand how it is to be used. So, he'll turn it and it will stop the balls. I'll have to come fix it for him. This has happened once or twice, but not a big deal. After he understands it, I think it will be fun for him. He can let one ball go, then close it, and whatever else his imagination comes up with. That's just what I've done with it! :)

I bought the Tolo Ball Run for my daughter's first birthday. I am a big fan of the Tolo brand as they make quality toys that are durable. The ball run was a huge hit my 1-year old easily can put the balls in the holes, bang them down with her hand and watch them run. Over and over again :^) She loves it! Great toy. Easy for two kids to play with and take turns. The 3 balls have nice black and white patterns on one half, and colors on the other half. Later you can teach your child to match the ball color to the hole color.

My daughter is only 9.5 months and she loves this. She can put the ball in the top (not everytime, but maybe 30% of the time and getting better) and hits it a few times to drop it down to the track. She loves the clacking noise it makes (warning to parents it is NOT a quiet toy). I showed her how one day. The next day she put the balls up herself and the day after hit them through. She hasn't yet figured out the knob/switch on the side or what to do if there's another ball in the top preventing the balls from rolling down, so it will force some good problem solving skills. I really like that it's fun (visually and auditorily), helps with motor development and hand-eye-coordination, as well as problem solving skills. And she likes it because it is fun!

Edit: My daughter is now 16 months old and still likes this toy. She doesn't play with it as much, as she's had it a while, and has sort of figured out the knob on the side. When other kids come over (the oldest we've had is about 2 years), they've all had lots of fun with it and played for quite a while.

Honest reviews on Tolo Toys Roller Ball Run

I bought this for my 10 month old son and he got the hang of it the first try, after I showed him how. He loves to hit the balls in the holes. I don't like the stop button on the side. There is no purpose for it and it easily moves and locks the balls in place so they can't roll down the slides. When he is older that may not be a big deal, but this young he doesn't know how to turn it back so he gets frustrated with it. I just duck taped the sucker in place to where it won't move.:) Besides that, it is a great toy!!! The balls are cool and he will just play with those by themselves. I also babysit an 18 mo old and 4 yr old and they both play with it too! So great for all young ages!!! It is actually quite small, but I like that 'cause it's not in the way and can be taken places when you travel. Would recommend for sure!

I was right when I thought this would be a hit. There is just something fun about watching the balls in motion. The kids match the colors of the balls with the opening on their own. They don't seem to want it any other way. Funny.

We got this game with our new mobigo pink unit and it was immediately a hit with our 2 1/2 year old daughter. She needed a bit of help with some of the games, but is getting pretty good at the game quite quickly. So here is everything you wanted to know about this cartridge.

Like all mobigo games, it has two difficulty levels. For an adult, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two but for a kid the difference is quite significant. It has six games in it, featuring either Cinderella or Belle. My daughter would have loved Snow White in there, but she was happy with just the two. The game tells you how to play before every game, but there is a skip button if the player knows already. These are the six games featured in this cartridge.

Magic Clothes For Friends

This game features Cinderella making new clothes for her rat friends. The player gets to stretch a measuring tape, getting a purple highlighted number. The player then needs to choose which piece of cloth measures the same number of inches. Then one gets to trace with their finger to cut the material in the shape of a t shirt or sleeveless shirt. (this part is quite difficult to do, especially for an adult since the touchscreen is designed to be sensitive for little fingers)

Fixing Jewellery For the Ball

Here we get to see Cinderella's rat and bird friends. The rat friends roll some coloured beads onto the other side of the screen and the player has to flick it into the corresponding coloured basket in the corners of the screen. (my toddler finds this directional flicking a bit hard). Then, the player gets a sequence of beads on a necklace, missing a couple at the end. The player has to choose the correct coloured and sometimes shaped beads and place them on the necklace, therefore completing the sequence correctly.

Dancing At The Royal Ball

Here, Cinderella is dancing with the prince. Musical notes go up in the screen, and one has to touch them when they are highlighted. Then we get a directional arrow sequence to memorise, and press in correctly when it disappears, so Cinderella completes her dance with the prince.

Enchanted Books, Missing Letters

The little clock from Beauty and the beast is having some trouble in the library. In the first part, an alphabet book is missing some letters and one has to find and press them on the pop out qwerty keyboard (my daughter goes crazy for this game). Then, the player needs to rearrange some books alphabetically by switching books with each other to complete an alphabetically correct sequence.

Feeding Animals on the Terrace

Another memorisation game, there are some birds on the screen which hide away after a couple of seconds. The player needs to identify where they were before they hid by throwing bird seed in their original position. The player is sometimes asked to identify the smallest/biggest or tallest/shortest bird. Next, we get to dust off some snow off the birds just for fun.

Pictures In The Stars

Belle and the beast are in the terrace at night and she is counting the stars. The player needs to touch the stars while counting, before they go off the screen. After one is done counting, the player gets to identify shapes of some stars by tracing them with his/her finger. After the shape is identified, three objects pop up and the player presses the one that looks like that shape (like an egg is an oval) Seriously though, I cannot understand how a rose is a circle shape! But otherwise, this is my daughter's favourite game.

I'm always looking for the detailed reviews and unfortunately, there aren't many who take the time to do them. Hope someone appreciates the effort. I will be reviewing other Mobigo games shortly. Hope this helps!
