They look just like the picture; they are just a bit thin and flimsy. I was hoping for something made out of cardstock, but these are made out of glossy "magazine" paper. They also don't have self-adhesive backs, which isn't a big deal to me, but something I've noticed other people care about.

My son is 6 years old, first grade and has a slight learning disability so we work extra hard on his sight words and sounding out letters, he doesn't have a whole lot of patience for it. However he loves star wars and he loves nintendo ds. On a whim I decided to buy the leapster and this game for it hoping that he wouldn't call it a "learning game" and immediately dismiss it. Wowee did I luck out he loves this game, can't play it enough.

The first day he had the game he was frustrated because he didn't know all the words and was running to me asking for help often. I encouraged him to try sounding out the letters and see how he could do. The second day I heard him sounding things out and trying to figure it out on his own. By day three he had mastered the game and was a general oh was he exited and mommy even more so he is consistently reading three and four letter words from the game.

Thank you so much leapster well worth the money spent.

I purchased this for my 5 year old grandson, who is in Kindergarten and just learning to read. He is also an avid Star Wars fan, so I thought this would be a fun way to help him with his basic reading skills. Well, this was the perfect choice because from the moment he opened it, he spentp practically every minute during the remainder of my visit using his Leapster with this game device. I spent some time doing it with him and was happy to see that it did, indeed, help him with his basic reading. All the while, making it FUN! Then his 8 year old sister wanted to play with it, too, so my worries that he would outgrow it too soon were quickly dispelled.

This game is worth it's weight in gold! I got this game for my 5 year old son, and he LOVES it! He enjoys it, because it allows him to feel like he's playing a traditional video game like his Dad's. I love it because he is learning the whole time!

He has come leaps and bounds in the last several weeks that he's been playing it. He has learned nearly all letter sounds, and has begun sounding out words on his own!! I am generally not a fan of video games, but this one is fun and educational!

Black and Decker Outdoor Tool Set - Leaf Blower Review

Black and Decker Outdoor Tool Set - Leaf Blower
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought this leaf blower for my son for his second birthday. It is a very nice toy. He likes it a lot. It has not broken or needed the batteries changed after 2 months. It makes a reasonable sound that is not too loud. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't blow ANY air. Not even the slightest bit. My son always tries to blow a leaf or piece of grass and is disappointed that it doesn't move. Why can't they make a toy leaf blower that actually blows a little air? I can't find one anywhere.

I like that you just add water to this digital small clock.

Science Educational Products - Superabsorbent Diaper Polymer 1 Lb Review

Fun stuff! Great for chemistry demonstrations. This is the kind that makes a solid glop, not snow.

Put about 6 grams of sodium polyacrylate in a 400 mL beaker, then pour about 300 mL of water (from a decent height to facilitate mixing) into the powder. Distilled water is tops and you can use less, but tap works as well. In about a minute, you have a goo that will cling to an upside down beaker like a tween to her iPhone. Reverse the effect by adding a few grams of sodium chloride (salt) and agitating (stirring) until you see a structure change (common cold booger to watery allergy snots).

I keep a baggie in my purse when I go to bars. My friends are sick of chemistry, and really sick of solid drinks. I still think it's hilarious. Be sure to dispose of this stuff properly, i.e. not in YOUR drains. Your chemistry-hating friends' drains are fair game.

Changing a toilet? I paid a plumber to come and change out in one house and saw that he used this type of polymer powder to dry up the remaining water in the tank and bowl after the final closed valve flush. Now replacing my own toilets in a new house with this trick...no water in the hallway...just scoop out the gel.

I purchased this because my daughter (3) loves Disney princesses. While it held her attention for a while, the games are very disappointing. There are only three games with two settings, but no real teaching variety. The games center on point and click, arrow buttons, and keyboard familiarity something the basic console teaches.

Overall, very disappointing for $20. Seems the game makers may just be relying on the Disney label to sell games I fell for it, but I would not recommend it.

The LeapFrog ClickStart games are not the most exceptional as far as quality of the character resemblence, and none of the games are going to turn your child into an Einstein. But my four year old loves to play them and she is learning to spell from them and learning computer skills. She especially loves anything Disney Princess. Next to the game already downloaded on the product when you buy it, this is the game she likes the most. I try to limit TV time so if I can get ready in the morning and she is doing something interactive/educational I feel it's a bonus.

Best Deals for Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Disney Princess, The Love

My daughter is just now getting into Princess mode and she likes this game. I like the game b/c it teaches her a bit more than the other games we own, which are Learning Carnival, and Cars.

The Ariel game on the 1st level teaches arrow key use. Which is also reinforcing right and left concepts. This is the best game so far with teaching arrow key use. She now understands what those keys are for and can play it herself. My daughter is just over 2 1/2 yrs old.

The Cinderella game on the 1st level teaches them to click and "drag" the mouse. This is concept that hasn't been taught on any of the other games. You click the shape and drag it over to the cut out shape in the dress. The game catches it when they get close and puts it in the dress for her. I really like this basic dragging concept and she is learning about where to put missing items. I am very happy with that part. It switches over to designing Cinderella's dress and the game is not very forgiving when it comes to the mouse, you have to be pretty exact. That will be good for her when she gets a little older and more into the age range intended for this toy. So she already has to grow into level 1 a bit. I like that.

The Belle game will be more exciting when she is bigger, also a bonus. On Level 1 you use the arrow keys to catch books. On Level 2 it calls out a letter and you push the letter to catch books. Level 2 is actually easier for my daughter than level 1. This is a reoccuring theme on for us on the Clickstart. My daughter can find letters better than using coordination with the mouse to complete games and finding letters is a Level 2 concept. Odd.

After you complete a game you get a bonus round of clicking on gems before they disappear. They disappear faster on this game then they do on any other of the ones we own. So it will be better for the kids more inside the age range for the Clickstart. Not as good for the newbies.

I like this game a lot. If you have a beginner at this computer and want to purchase a game to go with the Clickstart, I highly recommend this one. Ariel and Flouder talk a lot which gives them a little exciting break in between games.

Honest reviews on Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Disney Princess, The Love

Overall, I'd rate this an average to disappointing experience. There's only three games (plus a song/sound effect generator), and Cinderella's "game" is basically just a drag and drop dress decorator. The little mermaid game is a maze which taught my daughter how to use the cursor keys to move up, down, left and right. The belle game is pretty hard for a young kid, as you have to guide a character using the arrow keys to pick up books that drop from the sky rather quickly.

My three year old enjoys this cart but it only holds her interest for 15 minutes or so. The educational aspects feel thrown in and there isn't much variety. There's quite a difficulty jump from Level 1 to Level 2 as well.

Definitely don't pay full price for this cart, it's just not worth more than $12.
