Customer Ratings:

My daughter loves this toy and is 13 months old. Buy it elsewhere though. It is about $6 in stores and I paid $12 on this site because I never bothered to check the store first. My mistake and I won't make it again. But definetly a great toy.

I bought these beads for my 9 month-old. She loves to take them apart, drop them into a container, and chew on the the little connector nub. Looks like these will continue to be fun for months if not years.

Several of the games borrow from each other by simply replacing letters with numbers, but overall there's a lot of variety here. My kids have been learning quite a bit from it and are even speaking some simple spanish! (I think it teaches 6-8 small phrases in total)

The computer talks and gives instructions for each game and the volume is adjustable (we have ours set on the lowest volume and its still fairly loud). There's an "answer" key if they get stuck and a "repeat" button if they don't catch what the computer said. There's a "mouse" connected to the computer but it doesn't serve as a traditional mouse. There's an alien on it that shifts up, down, left, right and his head serves as button. This is mainly how selections are made; no arrow keys on the keyboard. This was probably the hardest thing for my 3-year-old to grasp, but after watching his 4-year-old sister (who also enjoys the toy) do it he caught on fairly quick.

I have to say that I was taken back by the small screen size (roughly 2 x 3 inches despite the large size of the computer) but the kids don't seem to have a problem with it. Also the screen isn't backlit, so there has to be plenty of light to see it. Other than that, no complaints.

Something that I've been very surprised with is the durability. I've caught my boy dragging the computer across the floor by the mouse cord several times and it still works perfectly. Also, the top flips open when Buzz's head is pushed down but both of my kids for some reason insist on "forcing" it open themselves. I say "forcing" because it opens fine with a little tug and hasn't affected it latching down. Overall, I'm very impressed with the durability and am happy its still working despite all the abuse.

They don't play it every day, but 9 months later they still get it out fairly regularly. Highly recommended.

I will say, without hesitation, that this is the best electronic toy we've ever bought for my son!! He's 4 1/2....and loves this!! You will need to invest a few minutes "teaching" the child how to use it.......the mouse is really geared up for a small child.

It will take your child a month to work through all the activities! It's loaded with stuff!

The toy arrived broken but because I purchased it for Christmas at the end of October start of November, I can't return it due to Amazon return policy. When the toy arrived the batteries were dead. I examined the toy and all seemed well except for the dead batteries, which I had planned on replacing Christmas day. On Christmas day, I removed the packaging and pulled out the battery tab on the back of the toy. The laptop came to life. Then I made the mistake of closing the laptop. Now, it won't open at all. Which I find weird considering the whole time the laptop was closed while wrapped. To open the laptop, you must push on the bubble that contains Buzz and the laptop should pop open. We tried everything to open it including a screw driver and knife but all failed. The toy is just stuck closed. I'm disappointed but not nearly as much as my four year old son who keeps asking "Mommy, why did Santa give me a broken toy?" I have made several attempts at contacting Vtech but I just get the run around. Amazon return policy is difficult (short) and Vtech is unresponsive. Looks like we ate this purchase.

If you are looking for a big drum that will produce big sound, this is the drum for you. This has been on my wish list for years and finally I had a good reason to buy it. The sound is big. You can damper it if you need it softer and producing a different kind of sound by simply placing one hand on the drum. It is a great drum that two or three can use at the same time.

Excellent drum for any little drummer in your life. My son has the entire series of drums, this one has a great low sound. Comes with mallets and makes a variety of sounds based on where you hit it. We love this drum along with the large gathering drum. :)

Honest reviews on Remo Kid's Gathering Drum - Large

Remo drums have great sound and are extremely well made. My 5 year old grandson has 3 of them including this large gathering drum. It is fantastic to see several kids play together and synchronize their beats. It can be played with either mallets or hands to produce beautiful music.

No problem with the ordering or delivery.

Cheap Chicco Baby Activity Walker - Pink

Customer Ratings:

A Fantastic toy. My one year old loves it. She happily pushes the walker while the music sings. Then stops, sits down and put the balls ans shapes in the proper slots. She spends alot of time playing with this toy. Definitely recommended.

Word of caution: if you have hardwood floors, this toy WILL SLIDE SIDEWARDS. It lacks rubberized wheels. This will not necessarily cause the kid to fall, but you may want to keep an eye. May also be an advantage if the kid can figure out how to move it.

Also makes a sound when the wheels spin with no apparent meaning.

Finally the toys at the front do not seem to be entertaining, at least for my 1yr old.

I bought this for my granddaughter's first birthday and she loved it. She was pushing it all over and it never tipped over. She also, loved sitting and playing with the front of it. It was a hit!!

Honest reviews on Chicco Baby Activity Walker - Pink

My little girl and I really liked this toy. She really liked pushing it around and using the shape-sorter part (well, kind of. she put everything in the large hole in the top). Unfortunately, the walker stopped playing music when she pushes it. We can't figure out what happened to make the music stop, but it did. Now when she pushes it, it just makes a dull clicking noise. It still serves its purpose, but I'm disappointed in how quickly the music stopped working. We've only had the thing for 3 months.

Reviews of REMO SOUND SHAPES®, Circles, 6"/8"/10"/12"/14"/16", Multi-Color

Customer Ratings:

I have to set the record straight here... these wonderful and TUNED little babies are NOT only for kids.

In fact, as much as kids love em, sure, they are actually a fairly sophisticated percussion instrument that is like nothing I have ever come across. What I love is the beautiful tones they produce.

You can hit it anywhere, on the middle of the head, the edge of the head, of even just smack it on the rim, and the sound is amazing. I have had people beat mine as hard as someone might hit a snare drum, and with a real drumstick too... and they still sound great.

What makes 'em so cool is whatever technology Remo has produced to make these Sound shapes. The heads are ultra high tension, they are virtually indestructible (and believe me, I've taken em to a drunken and wild drum circle and had people try to destruct them!), and the rim, is so strong that the tone never changes of shifts at all. I've had mine for almost a year and a half, and while yes, there are a few tiny dents in the heads, the shapes are totally standing up!!

Structural Integrity is what I would call it.

Amazing pieces of craftsmanship in a drumming-like contraption.

--Oh, and yes, kids do love em, but I have seen many (including me) adults make all kinds of sounds from these things. You can mute them,change the sound by pushing hard or soft on the head while hitting it. You can use a stick or tap it softly with your fingers... and if you really want to have fun, get a bunch of creative and skilled musicians together with them and look out!!! These gismos ROCK the HOUSE entirely!!!

WOW are these great. This was a gift purchase for my 3 yr old nephew who had constructed his own drumset from pots and pans. These are much easier to store than a traditional drumset and the quality of the Remo Sound Shapes is far superior to a child's drumset. The sturdiness of these will stand up to many abuses a 3yr old can inflict on his play things. The sound quality is far superior to a child's drumset and much better than his pots/pans drum set. The price point makes these within reach. I would recommend to many!

I bought these for my 14 month old daughter after she had played with them at a friend's house. She absolutely loves them! I like that there are multiple sizes that each make a different sound. It's also fun to have several people playing together. I think this will be a toy that she will enjoy for years to come.

Honest reviews on REMO SOUND SHAPES®, Circles, 6"/8"/10"/12"/14"/16", Multi-Color

These sound shapes are fine for children's music class, or maybe a drum circle where you don't care much about quality. I guess I was expecting too much from these based on the reviews. The three largest frames were warped so the drums wouldn't stack flat, and the edges of the frames weren't smoothly finished. Yes, they are loud, but not very resonant. I sent them back and was promptly issued a refund. Thank you Amazon and West Music for your prompt and professional handling of the return.

Discount Be Amazing! Toys Magnetic Marvels

Customer Ratings:

I'm an engineer. I have ten years of college. And I learned many new things about magnetism from this "toy." I bought it for my TWO-year-old granddaughter because I love to explain science in a way kids can understand. She LOVES this thing.

WARNING-magnets can be very dangerous if swallowed (so I have to keep a close eye on her while we "play" with this.)

I have many other magnetic-electricity educational toys. I'd rate this second best for educational value. I rate Learning Mates Electricity-Magnetism Combination Kit as best, but this is the only one that taught me new things.

Rhythm Band RB918 Rhythm Tom Boy Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for a preschool percussion kit, looking for something that would be portable, suitable for children, and offer a good sound. It delivers on all counts. The drum surface is a skin, with the natural variation you'd expect, though is quite a bit more translucent than the picture shows. I expect this to be a favorite of the rhythm box. Though I can't speak to its quality as a "real" instrument designed for use in a band, etc., I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Reviews of Bendon Publishing 204352 Thomas and Friends ABC Learning Cards

Customer Ratings:

I have been having trouble getting my son interested in learning his letters. He loves everything Thomas, so I bought this hoping it would increase his interest, which it did. He practices letter sounds with me several times a day now. There are a few cards that a phonetics teacher would not have put in there such as "Knapford Station" (which does not make a "k" sound) being a "K" word. There are a few cards that have long vowel sounds, which surprises me, because generally these aren't taught until after a child begins reading words and has accomplished several short vowel word families. It seems like all of the ABC card decks contain these though. When I separate out the above-mentioned cards, this is an excellent pack and I greatly appreciate someone having made it. It has made the difference for us.

I used these cards as part of a behavior plan with one of my students in a preschool for special needs kids. The child was exhibiting some inappropriate behaviors and was not completely responding to positive guidance alone. He is a big fan of trains in general and Thomas in particular. Throughout the day, when the child exhibits appropriate behavior, I stamp each of eight wheels of a choo-choo train coloring page with a bingo marker. At the end of the day, if all wheels are stamped, he receives a Thomas card of his choosing. He get's very excited as he has something tangible to reinforce his best efforts and he is learning the alphabet as well. It's really working! (Of course I continue to use positive guidance in conjunction with this approach to foster understanding of why and how we behave in certain ways i.e., using words instead of hitting.)

I had high hopes for this game...maybe my daughter just is not old enough (she is almost 4) but she is not that into it, but really i think the control is difficult and frustrates her. The games are not that interesting either. She did enjoy seeing her favorite characters on the screen though, so kudos for that, but doesnt hold her interest that long.
