Customer Ratings: 5 stars

My wife and I use these activities with out four-year-old. He really enjoys playing with the rods and following the instructions. He's learning a lot. We don't homeschool, but we supplement what he learns at preschool.

We use this Math Made Meaningful kit, "Funnix Beginning Math" (), the Funnix Math Workbook, Lollipop Logic, tangrams, and What Your Preschooler Needs to Know, and the What Your Preschooler Needs to Know Activity book. We've found these resources create a fun, balanced, well-rounded math curriculum appropriate for a four year old who enjoys workbooks, puzzles, and games.

This resource is awesomeboth for adults as well as children. The pages are great, and very durable. I plan on purchasing more from this seller in the future! :-)

Santa and Grandma together got this for my son, who is almost 6. He can't put it down!! He loves his Digi and "Fists of Foam" is his favourite by far. It's great for kids who are fairly new to the hand-held game world. It didn't take long for him to get the feel of it, and he's really into learning the math areas. I love that the game rewards him and gives him the chance to find the right answer rather than only give him once chance! I am a huge fan of the Digi and a long time fan of LeapFrog. If you want to limit the exposure to all those kill em and blood & gut games with no value, but want the gaming experience-please get one of these for your kid. It's perfect for 5-9 year olds. I was worried that I would have to sit there and read out directions and questions the entire time, but I was happy to see that the game reads out questions and ofers "hints".

Santa brought my son a Didj along with the Spongebob and Indiana Jones games. He has logged significantly more hours on the Indiana Jones game as well as a new one Clone Wars. Even though Sponge Bob is his favorite TV show, the game doesn't appear to be as engaging as the other two.

Got this for my son's didj, to give him a little more variety when we went on vacation this summer, and he loved it.

Game play is simple for a 6 year old, and I love how he gets excited when he gets to the parts where he has to answer the questions to move on. Anything that makes learning fun for children should be encouraged.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Didj Custom Learning Game SpongeBob SquarePants: Fists

OK, granted this is a mom's perspective and I have not played many video games. This game came with a bundle from Leapfrog when I bought the Didj for our 7 yr old. His game experience has been limited to a couple games on the Leapster and we admittedly limit his TV. He is not familiar with this TV show either. I tried out this game after my husband objected to the level of 'violence' and had to agree with him. The character walks along and has to chop and kick opponents to get through the level. At the end of the level, there are 6 math questions. I didn't find other math questions, and the wait for those math lanterns to drop so you could chop at them was annoying. Maybe I'm missing something but I thought this game was pretty weak compared to the Indiana Jones one I tried.

I am very disappointed in the condition of this product and the fact that amazon would send it out this way. The table itself is a great idea and a wonderful gift. However Amazon shipped it out to me with a good number of the pieces having paint chips and scratching on the metal wires. This is unfortunate because the table is over a hundred dollars and is in poor condition and my son was there when I opened the box. A side note for the table itself is that the beads are made larger than the ends of thee wire so they don't fit properly all the way down. they need to lower the price on this product!!!

The photo for this product shows what looks to be a 2-3 year old boy and the table coming up to his hip-level; my son is 14 months old and it hits at the same level on him! He is tall for his age but still, I think the picture is misleading. It is otherwise a very cute and well-made play table. It doesn't slide and scoot around on our wood floors, the legs are heavy and sturdy and there are rubber bottoms on the legs. I think the weight is just right. It stays put for play but isn't difficult for mom to lift and move out of the way. I like the vehicles on the toy, they're utility vans and trucks of different kinds not just cars so kids will like that as they get older and understand what kind of truck is what. And in that regard I think my son will enjoy it better when he's older. I got it for him as he's learning to cruise and walk, to help him, but it doesn't hold his interest all that long yet.

It is an excellent product in entertainment and education. My son is 2 and a half years old and love it, through the colors and shapes learn and develop their psychomotor skills, and when friends come play together.

Honest reviews on Anatex Traffic Jam Rollercoaster Table

This was bought for my grandson as a Christmas present. He is only two, but he has a very bright and inquiring mind. He loves cars, too, so this was the perfect activity table for him. The beads on the wires are different types of traffic signs, a train with several cars, and cars. He and his siblings play together on it at times, having races across the beads. There are also cars permanently attached to the table part with nuts and bolts, and these have their own tracks to run in. It has been a great toy, one that even the 8-year-old plays with.

I recently began this hobby and was itching to get my hands on a kit that was affordable and practical, this kit truly has it all. I had some difficulty assembling the net but the rest of the product was very simple and easy to follow. It truly gives you everything you need to begin insect collecting and displaying at a very affordable price. The only thing I wish it came with was an insect to start off with and perhaps an order form to order more pieces, but overall very satisfied

Reviews of TUPPERWARE Shape O Ball Toy

TUPPERWARE Shape O Ball Toy
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
The Tupperware shape sorter is the best baby sorting toy out there. We live abroad now, but I picked up 4 of them to bring back to Europe.

The reasons, why it is so great: 1.) Form and function are above all other similar sorting toys. 2.) It is plastic and easy to lift and clean (A lot of parents prefer wood. But often the wood sorters are simply too heavy and bulky to be handled by little toddlers) 3.) It is formed like a facetted ball. That makes it easy for baby to turn it around and get seriously involved by looking for the right hole by themselves. 4.)The cut out holes and the shapes are very precise. Only *1* shape fits into *1* correct hole. Many other shape sorters even more expensive ones allow for wiggling forms into wrong holes 5.) It is a mental challenge because some of the shapes are really hard to discern 6.) It is no "loose pieces nuisance" like so many other toys because: when you are finished, all pieces are automatically back inside. 7.) Keeps baby busy for about 10 minutes

For ages 9 months and up.

In short: One of the best!!

I had one of these when I was a kid, so it was largely nostalgia that prompted me to buy one for my son; as it turns out though, it's a really nice toy. It's very nice and light, so if it gets thrown, it's not going to break anything; it has quite a few pieces for your child's shape sorting enjoyment; all the pieces store inside the ball when not being played with; when the ball is full of pieces it makes a satisfying rattling noise that my son really likes; it's visually appealing; it's quite durable. The only think I don't like about it, is that the halves of the ball are rather hard to pull apart, my kids (3.5 years and 18 months)both need help with this, which rather defeats the purpose of a play-alone toy. Still, once I dump out the pieces for them, they really like putting them all back again. One thing I especially like about this shape sorter is that it has several shapes, and a few of them are similar, which means that it's genuinely challenging, and even a young pre-schooler who is learning shapes, can have fun with this toy. It's not just for babies.

Best Deals for TUPPERWARE Shape O Ball Toy

The yellow handles pull apart to get at the shapes inside. I gave it as a gift, and the first time we pulled it apart to get the shapes out, the cord that hooks the two sides together came off the hook, so for all intents and purposes it is broken, as we do not have a tool for reconnecting the cord. 40 Years ago when my son was a child every mom I knew had one of these for their kids. I never knew of one breaking before. I don't know if it is made differently now, or what. But, it used to be a great toy -40 years ago.

Honest reviews on TUPPERWARE Shape O Ball Toy

The first one I bought for my son, now almost thirty five. The second one I bought for my daughter, now twenty six. The third one I bought for my grandson, now almost twelve. Now I have bought the fourth for my granddaughter, now almost one. Great to find they still are made, great fun with kids.

Isn't that the main factor here? She's 2 (August 5, 2009) and loves to play with it. She has me get the shapes out as she has trouble with that, so we can play with it together, which to me is a huge bonus. She's quickly learning her shapes and colors. The item seems quite durable. I paid a little bit more in buying it from a Tupperware guy, charging about $10 more than you can get it for on Amazon. But he's a nice guy, and I am supporting a local business, so, it's all good. Amazon is getting a lot of grief for its sales tax policies now, too! Let's resist the WalMarts, Sam's Clubs, and so on! Buy local. The Walton family is already obscenely wealthy.

There was not a size listed in the amazon description, but it is quite small. A little over two inches tall. But it works nicely and is durable. The kids love it and I am still glad I bought it. I probably would not choose this over other Plan Toys items simply because it cost almost $10 after shipping and it is very small.

I was nervous to buy these with no reviews but I took a chance. Im using them for an art project, they are very tiny, plastic and come in allm different colors. The container they came in was dented up but I think it was from shipping...which was them throwing the round container in a small square box rattling around. However these are great if you need tiny plastic cubes in a variety of colors.

They're all exactly the same size, and there's a hojillion of them. What more could you ask for?

I use them in games to track points and player statuses and things of that nature.

I would have given them five stars, but the dark green and the light green are VERY similar in color, thus cutting down my 10 colors to 9 easily distinguished ones. I'm considering putting black dots (with a Sharpie) on the faces of the dark green ones to help, but that would take a while...

I am slightly disappointed with these cards. The quality is great and they are going to help my daughter with her number bonds. I am disappointed with the product because they don't use the number zero to show how to build number bonds as well as how to build the number one. Is it a big deal? Not really, but I think they should still show this relationship. Also, 2 of the 82 cards are instruction cards which to me shouldn't count. Overall, I like the product and it will work but I just had to share my disappointment.
