Product is great, but there were no assembly directions or directions about how to connect the camera to the microscope. It's a pricey item and should at least have a one-page flyer.

Review of Fly & Discover Globe

Customer Ratings:

My son received this for his fourth birthday. Loves it, loves it, loves it! He has since developed an interest in, and knowledge of geography!! He will turn five next week, and still plays with his "Earth". My three year old daughter has recently gotten the hang of it, as well. I would recommend this one to anyone.

my 3and 4yr olds liked this globe quite a bit before they became discouraged with the difficulty in understanding the voice commands and with the tracker pole not going all the way up to the top. now they refer to it as "the globe we liked but doesn't work". i'd spend a little more (the kids seem to love the concept) and get one that functions more smoothly (it is difficult to stop, start, and generally maneuver).

my three year old got this for christmas and loves the sound effects and fun designs but he gets frustrated by the joystick. it is difficult to "fly" to the right spot when prompted by the "find the" questions and requires better motor skills than most three year olds have i often have to help him guide the joystick onto the right animal or place. my five year old can navigate without difficulty. however she becomes bored after 5 mins as there is a limited number of questions and games which is fine for a three year old but not enough info for the five and above age range. in all i'd say great concept and a fun way for kids to learn about the world but the makers should either simplify the joystick for younger kids or expand the knowledge for older kids.

This is a cute toy! It has fun way to learn about the different parts of the world. It is not very loud and is fun for all ages! it is a nice toy to take along. My two older kids have learned about different parts of the world and had fun doing it!

my sons liked this toy. always fun to fly a plane, and they get to learn a little about geography too. they always tended to turn it into a contest to land on the same animal or location every time whichever one they liked the most, but I guess that was also good for memory, and also coordination to steer the plane to the right place. a little bit flimsy, but still fun. ours never broke, but the stick got loose where the plane would drop to the bottom instead of staying at a certain height when you let go of the stick, but not an issue since usually the kids are steering it up/down anyway, and it only fell to bottom when they let go of the stick, basically never while they were playing.

Buy Microscope Prepared Slide Set - Blood & Guts (5 Slides)

Have you any idea how happy this makes 8 & 9 yrs old boys feel when they can see these things thru their microscope and how awful their big sister feels when she peaks in to see blood and guts. I would say my Great-grandson would rate them very high.

My 8 year-old daughter was so excited to receieve these slides. She wants to be some kind of a doctor and this is just what she wants to see. She likes to disect and collect samples then look at them under her microscope. It's SO much better to have these slides then trying to stop her from getting her own samples!

Cheap Mohs Mineral Hardness Scale Set, with (9) Specimens, Magnifier

Customer Ratings:

I got what I paid for although I expected the specimen sizes to be more uniform. Also the nail provided looked chromed which will mess up the testing against it. I would have liked to have them in a portable and more compact divided poly box. Also the magnifier was a toy, with a narrow field of view. I am glad I have my own microscopes.

The Moh's Hardness kit is great for showing streak and hardness for when I teach about rocks and minerals. It comes with rock samples and what you need to show the "1 though 10" scale of hardness. It gives that "little extra something" when you're teaching this particular concept.

Honest reviews on Mohs Mineral Hardness Scale Set, with (9) Specimens, Magnifier

Moh's hardness scale set with 9 specimens really only has 8 "real" specimens as the item listed as Topaz is more like a piece of manufacturered plexiglass (clear and transparent). It has none of the characteristics identified in the accompanying book and can't even scratch fluorite let alone quartz. Attempts to scratch anything harder than gypsum result in pieces of the "Topaz" flaking off.

We bought this for a cub scout demonstration and it worked well. Good mineral samples provided. There may be better kits out there, but this is good for the price. I was a bit confused with the purpose of the included nail (part of the hardness scale) and the magnifying class is fairly cheap, but it worked well enough for demonstration purposes. One could find each mineral at a rock shop, hardness scale on the net, a magnifying glass in any toy store, and nail in your front tire, but it is nice to have it all contained in one kit.

picked this set up for a friends 4 yo son who has been almost obsessive drumming anything and everything. the key was he has a good beat. so, here comes xmas and why not. he loves them i was the hit for xmas. now you do need to put them together don't expect to see the photo out of the box but they were pretty easy to assemble. directions are just adequate, however my buddy and i got it together in about 20 minutes and his son was on the seat banging away. he sounded pretty good too.

highly recommend for anyone who's youngster (boy or girl) shows an interest in the drums. let your kids play what they are interested in and they may continue with the instrument.

The price is perfect if they should change directions on what or if they want to play..

LeapFrog App Center Download Card (works with all LeapPad Tablets Review

Customer Ratings:

I've picked these up at $16 and $17.25. Needless to say, it's a great deal since the retail value is $20.

This is pretty much the only way I purchase items for our daughter's Leapfrog.

Just add these to your cart and wait till they go under $20 and then purchase a few.

This is a great way to buy in bulk and save for rainy days or other special holidays/birthdays to add new things to your leapster explorer or leappad! WAIT FOR SALES they always have sales! You shouldn't have to pay retail for this product. I can't believe I just got 2 more for twelve dollars and twenty five cents just now!Wow! Great deal!

I have been waiting over a week to receive some I ordered though, which is getting annoying. So the great price and deal comes with patience I guess.

It would be nice if after you paid they just emailed you your codes instead of actually having to ship them. That is dumb and a waste of paper products for just a number. But still, if you get a deal, it is definately worth saving almost half price to add more apps to your devices! ;)

I wish the apps would come down in price a bit...if leapfrog is going to sell $20 cards..but then charges $7.50 as their cheapest item..you really need at least 2 cards to be able to get all you want. Why not lower the price of the apps or make the cards $25?? Whats with the fifty cents?!

I have purchased 4 of these cards and paid $11, 13.99, and 2 for $12.89 each. Great deal! You really need these cards if you have the LeapPad! Loading them is super easy. You just connect the USB cord to your LeapPad and computer and there's a place to 'redeem code'. You enter the code that comes inside the box on a credit card sized card and you'll then have an account balance you can use to purchase various apps/games/ebooks that download right to the LeapPad.

These worked great...the kids loved them. I did try using smaller bottles so it would be easier for the kiddos to use, but it did not work as well. So I had to use the big 2 liter bottles. It did make it difficult for the 1st graders to turn over on their own...but they eventually got the hang of it. There was a bit of water leaking out, so I just put a towel on the science table and it was no biggy. Worth the price to liven up the science table a bit!

My son who is almost 3 received this for Christmas. What a beautiful and rewarding toy. This is something that can be passed down to future generations, very good quality. The sound isn't quite classic piano, but sounds very nice. Almost like chimes. It comes with a removable color coded key guide and a song booklet. The matching bench is great too. My son really loves it and I think it's a great way to introduce him to a musical instrument. I read somewhere that this is the smallest piano ever played at Carnagie Hall. (small trivia tidbit).

While I didn't expect fantastic sound from a toy piano, given the price it should be reasonable to expect better quality. The action of the keys feels very cheap. There is almost no travel and adequate rebound to the key action. You pretty much can't get a sound out without a forceful hit leaving little room for subtlety in dynamics. One of the notes is pretty badly out of tune -so much for the advertised "precision" of the sound rods. Worst of all is the upper octave. Striking any note there sets up a very unpleasant resonant hum which pretty much drowns out the note you are trying to play.

Because of a shipping mix up, we actually got shipped two of these and sent one back. The second one had pretty much the same defects, so these problems are clearly inherent to the quality of the product.

The piano looks nice enough, and we weren't going to send back our daughter's second birthday present at the last minute, so we ended up keeping this. She does enjoy it as a toy, and it will be good enough to introduce her to the basics of a keyboard, but I'm severely disappointed in the quality of this given the price. Clearly whatever quality this brand once had has been squandered in outsourcing its production to China, so by all means "mark well the name," for it now deserves scorn. If my daughter was a little older, I think I would pay half as much for an electronic keyboard.

After reading a couple of the reviews this product received I had some reservation about ordering it. Nevertheless I did purchase this piano and am so glad I did. This Schoenhut 37 Key Traditional/Deluxe Spinet Piano is an excellent product. It is very well constructed and so beautifully crafted that it is hard to think of this as a toy. This piano could easily fit in with the most formally decorated of rooms. Because it uses metal rods, the piano has a unique and pleasant hint of a chime sound. The piano came fully assembled. The only thing we had to put together was the stool and that took a whole 10-minutes. Our 2 1/2 year old daughter shows a great deal of interest in wanting to play the piano. We wanted to get her something that would keep her interested and make it easy to transition to a real piano. The keys on the Schoenhut piano are the same width as full size keys but are shorter to accomadate the size of a child's finger. I'm really glad that we got the 37 key piano because it gives you two full octives and partial octives on the high and low ends on the keyboard. Our daughter loves playing this piano and we have lots of fun playing it together. By the way, the older string version of this model is currently fetching between $1400 & $1600 at auction.

Best LeapFrog LeapPad1 Gel Skin, Purple (Works only with LeapPad1) Deals

Customer Ratings:

I was able to snag one from leapfrog.com when they first released the purple glitter one for my daughters new leappad....I should add I also got it for the retail price of ten dollars. Honestly, I would not pay a dime over that. It looks like it will protect if dropped, we haven't found out yet since she isn't getting it until Christmas ;)

I can say, a good thing about the gel skin is if you get a leappad in a color you didn't want, getting the skin will basically change the color, as it completely covers up the entire color on the toy already. And it is NOT pink (the girls one) it is 100% purple w/glitter. It fits in the leappad case and zips just fine with the skin on it incase you are wondering. Don't give into these hijacked prices, wait until January when more are released for retail and save yourself the money.

I bought this to protect the LeapPad 2. No where on the discription does it say it will not fit the second Gen leapPad. I found that out later on the Leap Frog site.

In baby-proofing our home, we cleared all surfaces of anything we didn't want broken and things we didn't want our 13 month old son handling. That left us with a pretty barren living room! I wanted some beautiful items he could play with that we would also enjoy seeing if we simply left them out as decor. This was such an affordable option and goes great in our mid-century modern home. No more chasing our son around saying, "no....no... no...." Perfect!

I had previously purchased the other 3 vehicles locally for my nephew, and was glad to have found the 4th one online to complete the set. He loves playing with them and they are very sturdy, which is good since he can be a bit rough!

Brought all four of the whole set for $9.99 each (plus tax and shipping) from an online outlet two months ago. My 2 yr old thought the flashcards were fun to transfer from his dump truck to the wagon . So, we don't let him to play with cards much.(It is too much work to put them back in order each time...)

After two months, probably we have used the cards for less than 10 times gently, the colors and the contents on the cards are slowly fading (chips too!), even the paints on the edge of the cards are starting to disappear! Soon the fire truck won't have the windows if we don't do anything to seal the paint!

The pictures on the cards are very very small.

Though it is a wonderful concept and the cars themselves were well constructed, I wish the paint quality would be better...

I purchased two of these to use with my seniors choir -a group of 35 singers, average age about 87. I have one of them use it as a woodblock, striking with the small included mallet; and another use it as a guiro, scraping it with the handle of the mallet. It makes quite a lot of noise for such a small item, and the size works well with older adults.

I may get another one or two of these -they work really well with the repertoire we use, and my seniors love making noise with them
