I bought these for my 5 and 6 year old kids. They want to bring them everywhere. It is educational and fun. If they don't know an answer, they will ask. Sometimes I hear them asking each other if they know the answers.

My son wanted to play it in the car while it was dark but couldn't see the screen. Other than that, I'm impressed with it. Yet another great educational item from LeapFrog!

After buying this product we were dissatisfied as the screen protector peeled of easily, and the gel skin was very loose, and bothered our child so it wound up in a drawer. Junk! If your going to buy a protective skin for the leap pad then get a harder one from the website or Walmart. More expensive but it will still stay on the leap pad instead of in a drawer.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I recently bought this book for my younger sister. She has been struggling in school and these books have been a great help. She loves them so much that our family uses them as an incentive to do better in school. The Smart Guide to Fourth Grade is probably the best book I have seen so far. She had so much fun playing the games like Spelling Stingers that she didn't even realize she was learning. What really amazed me is that after just half an hour with the book my sister was doing fractions! Her teacher hasn't even touched on fractions yet. I know fractions are usually one of the hardest things for children to grasp but she understood it in just a few minutes! The only reason I didn't give the book a five in durability is that the little cartridges that come with the book get lost so easily! I wish leap pad would come out with a storage system for the books and cartridges.

I wanted to purchase a classic toy but also wanted one made in the USA. Most, including some 'upscale' brands, are made in the People's Republic of China. So I was surprised to see this on Amazon. Item arrived as shown on the website. Pieces were solidly made, with all edges smoothed down. The toy was thoroughly enjoyed by the toddler who received it.

Just one minor note: the rod portion of the toy that holds the wooden rings has a rounded tip, but I would still advised caution for young kids playing with this that they not fall on it, especially the eyes. Perhaps I'll a bit paranoid, but if you watch any medical TV shows, kids can get hurt in all sorts of ways.

Nonetheless, I have no regrets purchasing this otherwise well made toy that supports a US company.

We bought this stack toy for our youngest son when he was a newborn. He is almost three and still enjoys stacking the rings and coming up with creative combinations, and it still looks brand-new.

Safe-T Angle/Linear Ruler; no. LER43054
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I had searched extensively for an angle/linear ruler to use for drawings with art work. I use it to measure an angle on pictures, then transfer the same angle to my drawings. I was thrilled to finally find it, ordered it on-line and it arrived in a timely manner. P. Dubrick

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I'm an engineering student, and this has completely changed the way I draw diagrams. Seriously, it's no trivial thing to replace the ruler and protractor with one thing that works better than both. Not only does it do lines and angles, it can do circles with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 inch radii by holding one half still and spinning the other half with your pencil in the hole. Habimg this makes my engineering classmates (and teachers) jealous.

Best Deals for Safe-T Angle/Linear Ruler; no. LER43054

Sadly some sellers have this listed under "toy". (How to lose sales.) This a great tool that will hold the angle for important measurements for artists and adult hobbyists, not just a childs toy as someone decided to title them under. This item is not made of sturdy, thick plastic, it's a flexible piece, seeming thinner than the see through plastic rulers with red lines many of us use. I have seen angle rulers thiner and I'v seen them thicker years back, but every single one I shopped in the computer, seems to be described exactly the same and looks the same, charging a little over a dollar to stupidly expensive for the same item, so buyer beware. I purchased mine off the USED section here on Amazon because of approved sellers, (thank you Amazon for the honest liberty of choices and a chance to shop for other prices). Since I purchased this from the other source, if your angle ruler describes differently, please, tell us about it. The one I got might be classified a toy by someone, but, no matter what it's a good, usable tool for my art, and I'm pretty advanced. Mine is the "Safe-T" brand, there are 3 sellers on Amazon, prices vary, but, it sounds like the same one to me. I also want to thank OZBO, the seller I purchased from, for over the top packaging. I will buy from them again.

Honest reviews on Safe-T Angle/Linear Ruler; no. LER43054

If your kid is in school struggling to learn angles then this is the perfect ruler for you. They can easily measure any angle in rectangles and triangles with exacting results. It really gave them the confidence to understand and complete their homework.

If Safe-T is looking for product improvements they might consider using a larger font and different color for key measurements like 45 & 90.

My 7 year old son loves Star Wars The Clone Wars, so I knew he would like this.

The best thing about the game is the questions get more difficult as the player advances within the chosen level. So, though it may start with single digit number recognition, it advances to double digit number recognition. It may start with asking about general time of day, but then advances to specific time of day and then to reading time on a digital clock.

I recommend this game for pre-K through second grade.

A more detailed description is presented below.

______________________________________________

SPACE

Shoot the correct number to get to navigate through space to get to the ship where the prisoner is held.

Level 1: features recognition of numbers 1 through 10.

Level 2: features subtraction of single digit numbers.

Level 3: features addition of a two digit number with a single digit number.

THE SHIP

To get through the rooms, answer questions about time.

Level 1: questions feature time of day, like when do you usually leave for school (morning, afternoon, evening)?

Level 2: learn how to read time on an analogue clock to the hour.

Level 3: learn to read time on an analogue clock to the half hour.

LIGHTSABER DUEL

Answer the math questions quickly and Skywalker attacks. Answer incorrectly and the enemy attacks. The faster the player answers, the more power they get for their attack.

I purchased this for my 7-year-old son's Leapster ahead of a long road trip. He ejoyed it that day, but returning home I found he was rarely willing to play with it during his free time (losing out to Legos and PS2 Lego Star Wars). I decided to set acheivement goals on Jedi Math as a condition of other play. Unfortunately, Jedi Math isn't particularly suitable for this use. Certainly, "saving a prisoner" is a nice discrete goal (takes 15-30 minutes, and this accomplishment is verifiable in the user stats). However, the difficulty level is entirely selectable (the child can choose a level that is not challenging). Further, while the game emphasizes fast math calculations, there appears to be no penalty for either pausing the game to count on fingers or asking for the solution via the "hint" button. My son quickly discovered both strategies. There is a "math level" that is tracked in the user stats, but the instructions don't describe how this is calculated. That is, what skill set does a particular math level correspond to?

The newer Leapster2 can upload data to leapfrog.com's "learning path". Supposedly, this allows you to track your child's learning, so my objections might not be valid in the context of a Leapster2. But with the Leapster, unless your child is particularly enthralled by this game, using it as a teaching tool is awkward.

I bought this for my 12-year-old for Christmas. He's been having a ball with it, and learning a lot. My only complaint was that it didn't come with something to organize all the little pieces. But I noticed that ahead of time, and was prepared with a small tackle box for him to put everything in. So far, he's been able to do most of the projects with minimal assistance.

Best Deals for Thames & Kosmos Classic Science Milestones in Science

This was our son's "big gift"; he's a 7 yr old who wants to be a scientist when he grows up. Highly recommend purchasing a tackle box or some storage solution to store all of its small parts. While we realize most of the stuff you could cobble together yourself, for us, it was just easier to purchase a science kit with all the parts. I knew the science experiment materials would be made of cheap plastic (and they were), but I was expecting a hardcover, sturdy book for this price. Unfortunately the "manual" is a flimsy paperback (why I rate this product a 4). However, the content of the book is great jus wish it were more durable. So far we've completed 4 experiments and they've been easy to follow with great discussion questions. It's a lot of fun and very educational (not in a boring way).

I purchased this game for $24.99 before email discount directly from the Leapfrog website for my grandson's 4th birthday. He has been playing games on the computer at school, laptop at home and my iphone,so we thought he was ready for a system he could play on his own. I thought this game would help teach him how to write and draw. He can already recognize his letters and numbers. He stayed home sick from pre-K today and his mom said he was content to play this game for a good portion of the day. He chose to play Mr. Pencil over Toy Story 3 and Dora! Great gaming system for a preschooler. Would recommend you sign up on the Leapfrog website to get their emails so you can take advantage of their email discounts, too.

We got the new Leapster Explorer for our 3 year old for his birthday. I know he is a little young, but he always wanted to play vidoe games at the same time as his 5 year old brother, and it had just been released. This was one of the 2 initial games I bought for him, and what a good choice it was. He has always liked to color and draw and has always seemed to be more deliberate when he is creating than his older brother. Let me tell you this was one of the best purchases I ever made. He will sit and play with this game for quite a while, which is out of character for him unless he is truly engaged. This game focuses on repairing the town with Mr. Pencil and teaches kids to draw, beginning with straight lines, etc. I would really recommed this title as one of the first you get for younger kids with the Leapster Explorer, especially if they like to color. It's a really good first step, as it requires no letter or number recognition (reading/math) so you can start them really young, but it does progress into those areas.

I have played this game to check out what my son would be playing and I can see why he gets frustrated. The game freezes for 30 seconds at times (Yes, I actually timed it)and it can be too sensitive for someone learning to write. I have watched my son try to draw on the dotted line and if he barely gets off the line it makes him start the entire drawing over. Love the game idea and really like what it teaches but it needs some improvements.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game: Mr. Pencil Saves Doodleburg (works

My son is pretty advancd for his age and recently received the Leapster Explorer for his 3rd birthday. It's literally the only game he plays! It's a super cute game that lets the kids "fix" the town after a tornado and storm come through and destroy everything. Your child "fixes" each area of the town (town hall, the park, race track, clock tower, library, etc) by drawing the needed shapes, letters, numbers, or coloring in different items (on this one they are told to choose a specified color from the color wheel then color in an item completely). The game doesn't allow a sloppy letter/shape, coloring job to pass (well not really "pass" but i dont know how else to explain it.) It will tell the child to either "keep the stylus on the screen" or to "stay close to the dotted line" which ever the issue was. therefore the child knows IMMEDIATELY what they did wrong and how to fix it. It is a little forgiving on some things (for instance you can draw a circle on the hexagon shape and it'll pass) which is to be expected since some kids are still very young. The voices can be kind of annoying to my ears but my son loves them :) My only complaint so far is that since my son is predominantly left handed, his left hand touches the screen a lot while he's drawing or coloring... which the game recognizes as him "being off the dotted line" which frustrates him when he knows that he IS on the dotted line, therefore i have to kind of hold his hand up a little or tilt the Explorer a little so his hand isn't touching. But that is so rare that it isnt a huge complaint at all. OH and after the child "fixes" a certain part of the town they can go back into it and it is a interactive coloring page. There is also an "art museum" (i think that's what it's called) that is a blank page and they can pick any tool (pencil, pen, paint, etc), color (primary and secondary), erasers, stamps, patterns, etc on it. He really enjoys that too. The last time he got into the game i also noticed that there are "lessons" that you can go into instead of the game itself. In there your child can learn to write any upper or lower case letter, shape (which by the way include square, rectangle, two types of triangles, a circle, an oval, a hexagon, vertical/horizontal/diaganol lines, etc), and i think they can learn about colors too. Anyways to sum it up: IT ROCKS!!!!!
