These short curves are really a nice addition to your wooden railway system as they make it possible to create small and sharper turns than you can do with the normal curved track (33342). The downside of this track is that it may be a bit difficult for longer engines (like the mighty red battery-powered engine) to drive through the curves. However, if the tracks are laid without too many "bumps" at the connecting points the larger engines will manage to drive through it as well.

These are exactly what you would expect from BRIO. We are always short on curves and these did the trick.

BRIO is the most durable and has the best quality wooden train on the market. These are a must have for extending and building. My son loves having these shorter curved pieces. We have 3 sets and are considering buying a fourth set; that's how much he uses them when building. A great piece to have.

Honest reviews on BRIO Short Curved Track

Again, a good product, but over priced. I would try to find some gently used ones.

These track pieces only add to the fun of the brio train tracks. They allow for you to fill in tight spots, make tighter curves and increase the changes you can make to your train set up.

They are well made and sturdy. They have lived up to the effort of three kids playing, putting them together, stepping on them, and so on.

They are lots of fun. Enjoy.

I thought this would tell the whole Elf story just in a children's version or with music...it's very very short and kind of indirect. My kids liked it, but it won't really be much use next year as they will want the "bigger" version. They are almost 3 and 4.

Cheap Laugh & Learn Spanish Grammar! Book

Customer Ratings:

This book is full of worksheets with a joke at the top of the page in English. The students then do an activity to spell out the answer in English at the bottom of the top. Each page has a code that is filled out with letters or words from the correct answers.

The chapters are:

Nouns and Articles

Adjectives

Verbs include: present, preterite, imperfect, subjunctives, future, conditional, commands, besides some choosing between two verbs, such as saber and conocer

Pronouns

Special uses, such as time, months, and question words

Some of the pages are matching the Spanish with the English translation. Other pages are fill in the blanks of Spanish sentences. Some pages have the students circle yes or no if the sentence is correct. There are also a few mazes.

The jokes are pretty corny, such as "What goes tick, tick, woof, woof?" A watch dog. Or "What do you call a cow lying in the dirt?" "Ground beef." But kids love it. I like that they self correct to figure out the joke. It's something students can do on their own with a sub who doesn't speak Spanish. These are worksheets your students will want to do.

Best LeapFrog iQuest Handheld Deals

Customer Ratings:

I have math tests nonstop at my school and this really helped me out. I would really recommend Mind Station connector (sold separately) to download chapters to a cartridge. It feels like you are playing a game with the music in the background and it gives you time to think and when you are ready it shows you the choices. If you don't get it on the first time, it gives you a short reminder of how to solve it.

I keep all my addresses in this and the dictionary is really helpful. I didn't know studying could be so much fun. You can even take the faceplate off and have it just be silver.

If you want it to be more advanced than buy a harder cartridge. They even sell a test prep SAT which will be helpful to me in the future.

If you want your child to look forward to studying, I would consider this item. I have been using this since my mom bought it for me 2 years ago.

As with any educational product of this type, there is a lot you can get out of it if you want to. I purchased one last year for my daughter in 6th grade and got a lot of use out of it. By being able to download questions from the books she was using, she always had a handy review with her and was one step ahead of the class. It also comes in handy when they forget to bring their books home. We travel a lot with sports and this is a very good tool to use in the car to study. She will be using this through 8th grade and loves it. I am now in the process of ordering another one for my younger daughter who is starting 5th grade this year.

As a parent of 5th and 7th grade children, I was interested in researching the IQuest. Initially it was very confusing as the companion products, being the MindStation, various math and science catridges, and blank catridges for use with mindstation, aren't really well explained as they related to each other. I wasn't sure if I needed to buy the entire lot, or just a few pieces. After viewing the leapfrogtoys.com website, and buying the IQuest and Mindstation package, I determined the best way to go is to buy the two pieces of hardware, mentioned above, and then some of the blank 4MB catridges. This enables the user to download specific textbook material, chapter by chapter, and then "play" with this stuff in the Iquest. It is much more helpful than buying the generic math and science catridges advertised for grades 5 8. The Mindstation internet connector is easy to set up and use, and it's easy to find your child's textbook and download the appropriate chapters. The kids are finding the Iquest fun to use and I think it will be helpful, particularly in Math and Science.

It's a little pricey, ... for the IQuest and Mindstation, and the 4MB catridges are [cheap], but you only need one or two per child as they can be erased and reused for different subjects or different chapters as your child works their way through the textbook material. There's also a small fee to keep connecting to the website once the 6 mo trial expires, .... So far we feel it's money well spent.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog iQuest Handheld

For my son's last b'day, he went to look for a gameboy type of toy but when he saw iquest, he chose that. He has had it for over 6 months now and it is his constant companion. He was in second grade when we got it and he has already mastered the 6-8 grade science cartridges and is working on social studies now. It is fun way to study and definetly lot more meaningful way of spending time then playing gameboy. We recently decided to get the Mind Station also to expand the iquest capability.

It has been well worth the investment.

IQUEST IS A WONDERFUL WAY FOR MY 6TH AND 8TH GRADERS TO STUDY MAIN IDEAS FROM THEIR SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS. FINALLY, SOMEONE CREATED THE TECHNOLOGY TO DOWNLOAD DIRECTLY FROM TEXTBOOKS AND HELP STUDENTS TO REVIEW AND PRACTICE VIA THE IQUEST HANDHELD. WE PREFER TO USE THE BLANK MEMORY CARTRIGES TO DOWNLOAD CURRENT CHAPTERS. I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST, BUT AFTER USING THIS FOR A FEW MONTHS,I CAN HONESTLY TELL YOU THAT IT IS A PURCHASE WELL MADE. THIS TRAINS STUDENTS HOW TO TAKE TESTS WHILE SHOWING THEM WHAT THE KEY POINTS OF THE CHAPTER WERE.WE OWN THE MIND STATION WHICH MAKES DOWNLOADING A SNAP ON TO THE IQUEST HANDHELD. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE'VE EXPERIENCED IS A COUPLE OF THE BLANK MEMORY CARTRIGES DIDN'T GET RECOGNIZED BY THE MIND STATION. WE HAD TO EXCHANGE FOR NEW DISKS.

Reviews of Fender FA-100 Acoustic Guitar Pack, Natural

List Price: $229.99

I bought this guitar for my 14 year old daughter to be able to play and pack around figuring that it was fairly cheap and I would not be worried if it accidently got scratched, damaged, or abused when camping or at the river, etc.

The other reviews told us how the sound was good, but we were both suprised at how well it sounded and played, it is now her favorite guitar. The sound is rich and projects well. There is no problem keeping it in tune (after the initial string stretching) and she has even had to learn to project her voice more when singing, as the guitar is louder than her other one.

Overall we are very happy with this purchase. One thing you may want, if you are a higher level guitar player is diffrent strings, but even the strings that come with it are decent low-end strings that do not lose their tune.

This guitar is more than perfect for a beginner, or even an advanced player who wants something nice to "kick around" with.

Purchased this for my adult daughter and I was surprised at how nice the guitar is. Nice tone and good construction. Came with gig bag, pics, strap, tuner AND an extra set of strings. She was very happy to get a Fender and for the money, I can't complain at all. It came on time and though I was worried UPS would bang it up, it arrived without a scratch. Would recommend it to others starting out learning to play a guitar.

The package arrived unharmed, no issues with shipping damage. The guitar sounds great, but I'm a beginner so what do I know? The guitar I received had two buttons for where the straps would attach, but the strap had only one button hole, the other end was a shoe-string to tie on the neck above the first fret (bridge?). Some people may not like this setup but I don't mind it at all now.

The tuner is really nice; it has a couple modes for different instruments, or a simple chromatic scale mode for non-standard tunings. The picks are a nice touch to the bundle.

I also bought a stand while I had the free shipping available.

Overall a great buy.

Cheap LeapFrog Shapes And Sharing Picnic Basket

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $21.99
Sale Price: $18.71
Today's Bonus: 15% Off

This is long, but you will know everything that you need to know:

PURPOSE OF PURCHASE:

My daughter had just turned 11 months old. I was looking for a fill-and-spill toy that she would not outgrow as quickly as many other baby toys and I was hoping for something that she would use for creative play for the next couple of years. We were skeptical at first because we felt that, although the price is reasonable, we still did not want to throw away $20 and she might not care for it or it may be a little mature for her.

I am so glad that we bought it. It was the last of the gifts that we bought for her first Christmas, and I just know it was meant for her to have.

DESCRIPTION:

Everything is made of hard plastic, except for the checked "blanket" which is like a handkerchief. The basket is packed pretty full with everything inside, but she can easily fit it all back in without help. She loves carrying all of the pieces around in her little hands. (There are many pieces and you don't want them lost!) The full basket is a little heavy for a baby. She did not carry the entire basket around until recently (14 months) and still prefers not to, but she has always taken it off of her toyshelf and sat with it closeby in the floor. I can watch this thing growing with her. She likes to put the food pieces and forks in her mouth. And she LOVES the sounds it makes when the lid opens and closes. She loves the songs that it sings, and let me tell you, the voice is too cute and sweet. She dances while she plays and tries to sing.

POSITIVE:

I love it because it is easy to wipe clean (even though I haven't had to clean it yet), it is durable, it is fun, adorable, AND VERY educational!!

I had not realized before she started playing with it, but it teaches manners (saying please & thank you) and some prepositions, such as: put one cup IN the other cup, spread the blanket ON the ground UNDER the tree...a picnic WITH my friend. It sings the colors of the rainbow. It counts up to four often. It sings short songs about how many sides each shape has, and each of the three foods on each plate is a different shape (triangle pie slice, square cracker, circle orange slice). It asks you to find each shape. The plates are similar to wooden puzzles (only plastic), and she is learning to put the foods in place.

She also LOVES music, and this thing is constantly singing. It even reminds you to push the butterfly button to hear a song. She can play with this toy 100% by herself, and I know that she will not outgrow it any time soon because it is also my favorite of her toys. And when her cousins (4yrs & 11yrs) came to visit, this is the toy that they played with for 2 hours straight! She plays with it more than any other toy (and she has too many toys). We have never had to replace the batteries since she first got it.

NEGATIVE:

The cups are not intended to hold liquids. They each have two holes in the bottom that you could almost stick a pencil through. I like that she will have to use her imagination and also I will not have to worry about the inside of the picnic basket getting sticky with juice and I am glad that ants will not be stored in there. (But some people would rather have usable cups, and if your child tried to use them, it would be messy, so I thought I would mention this.)

The only real negative that I can find is that the talking basket may ask you to find the triangle, but it has no way to know whether you found it, so it does not correct you or praise you. It never responds or gives hints or anything. So basically, it just randomly asks your child to find things, but she may never know if her answer was correct (or wrong!). Therefore, I recommend that Mommy plays with her.

BOTTOM LINE:

I say it is well worth every cent (and more)!

this is a great toy! very durable, bold colors. everything fits into the basket so it's easy to store and not lose pieces. My 18 month old daughter loves playing pretend and this is a great toy for her. Plus, all the food is a shape that fits in it's on spot on the plates, like a puzzle. It helps her with shapes, colors and I can get her to clean up when she's done. And she loves carrying this around the house.

1. Sounds effects

2. Container to store pieces in

3. Shape-sorter

4. Different healthy food items for your toddler to learn to distinguish

5. Promotes sharing (though my kids are still working on this aspect :)

6. Container has a handle for toddler to tote around (which all toddlers love to do)

I highly recommend this!

Reviews of Tiny Love Musical Stack and Ball Game

Customer Ratings:

Picking out a birthday present for my one-year-old niece was a heated competition between my brother and I. His gift was top secret and purported to be the best baby gift ever. On the day of the party, everyone expected my niece to enjoy the packaging more than the actual gifts, and she did except when it came to this amazing Tiny Love product. She immediately began putting the balls in the cone and was thrilled by all the music. It has apparently kept her amused hour after hour. Like the Tiny Love mobile (used by many in my family including my own child) this product is educational and enjoyable.

This has been a favorite toy of my 1 yr old son for the last 6 months. He still plays with it every day. What is great about it is there are many different components to this toy that he has been able to learn and grow with. He started just enjoying the rattling balls and the elephant head. Then he discovered how to put the balls in the elephant head. Now, he puts the balls (and other things) in without the head. His new trick is to turn it on its side and put the balls in the front and try to figure out how to get them out. This toy has been consistently played with and has taught my son many skills.

I heard about this toy from a parenting magazine review... and to tell you the truth was a bit sceptical about all the raving. But, when I saw it in a store, I was sold. It soft and colorful. The music is not too loud. The balls and rings are a perfect size for little hands to grab.

My 7 month daughter loved it the moment she saw it. There are so many ways she can play with it. And the toy will definitely grow with her. I thought it was so good, I am going to uy another one for my friend's baby.

This is a glossy and well made placemat which clearly has letters and animals on it for reviewing with a young child. The picture is accurate. Unfortunately, I am a little bit unhappy with it, because it is much too large to fit on my 3 year old's high chair tray. Yes, she is still in a high chair. It's an FP aquarium one. In any event, this is probably fine for floor play or if your child eats at a dining room table, but I wish this were smaller. I should have looked at the dimensions more closely. Also, fwiw, my 3 year old has no interest in it. Maybe in retrospect, I should have tried to get an alphabet learner with Dora or unicorns or some other gimmick on it.

Discount Luna Muse Safari 3/4 Travel Guitar w/ Gig Bag - Mahogany

Customer Ratings:

This guitar is PERFECT for what I needed. I'm a music teacher who has suddenly found herself on the "cart" and I wanted an affordable, lovely sounding, easy to play travel guitar...and that's exactly what this is! I tried out the Baby Taylor, the Little Martin...both kinds, the Martin Backpacker, the Little Brat, and the Yamaha. I really love the Baby Taylor, but at that price, I just didn't feel comfortable leaving in the storage at work or letting the kids touch it so I took a chance and bought the Luna Muse sight unseen. I'm so thrilled! The sound is very similar to the Little Brat, though I personally think the highs on the Luna are more pleasant than the Brat. The action is a touch high, but is easily adjustable. The guitar is also smaller than the Brat which has a considerably thicker body. The guitar is beautiful looking and cleanly made. I don't know what the previous reviewer is saying about the frets on the neck...mine are perfectly smooth...it was the first thing I checked.

No, not as fine as the Baby Taylor, but worth considerably more than I paid. This is in the same price range as the Yamaha, and it absolutely blows the Yamaha out of the water in both the quality of its make and the sound! 100% happy that I purchased this guitar.

I just received this guitar today and have the following comments on it. Keep in mind that this is a $139 3/4 size guitar. The overall quality looks very good. Nice straight neck, satin finish great all over, inside nice and clean, no glue, tuners are average, the action is a little high, the strings suck. The only negative is that the frets are not dressed well and has sharp edges all the way up neck... A pet peeve of mine. I hate to buy a new guitar and get one with sharp frets. Will take a file to them for sure. Sound is above average for this small size guitar. Has good sustain. Feels good in the hand. I have had both the Baby Taylor and Little Martin and they all compare in size with this guitar. Both of these guitars cost twice that of this guitar. This Luna is lightweight like the Taylor. I think that the Baby Taylor is a better sounding guitar.. but only slightly. This guitar has a 1-13/16" nut which I like. The Luna gigbag is cheap and I think will provide almost no protection. I guess Luna has to cut corners somewhere. This will be a perfect guitar for noodling around the house, sitting on the sofa, campfire, etc. Overall rating is 4/5 and would have been 5/5 if frets were better. If you are looking for a smaller guitar check this one out for sure. I think the value on this guitar should be closer to the $200-$250 range so $139 to me is a real deal.

Best Deals for Luna Muse Safari 3/4 Travel Guitar w/ Gig Bag - Mahogany

I just recently purchased the Luna Muse Safari 3/4 Travel Guitar from amazon.com. The guitar arrived in perfect condition. The factory carton was packed in a ginormous box with plenty of packing material around it. Initially the guitar tuning was not stable but after a couple of days of being in my house the tuning stabilized to be rock solid. The action is perfect to me, not too high, not too low. The scale is sufficiently long enough so that I don't notice a difference moving back and forth between in and my full size dreadnaught. The workmanship is very good. The frets are finished nicely and the body has a nice satin finish. The guitar is plenty small enough to make travel easy but large enough to play normally like any full size guitar. The gig bag, while not padded, is reasonably well made and will be fine for car traveling. For airline travel I would invest in a padded gig bag. Not only will I used this guitar for travel I will also use it when jamming with friends when I want to add some unique tones. I found that using when using a capo fairly high on the neck you get some really neat mandolin-like tones.

hi i'm a teacher and i have tendonitis in my elbows... i gave up guitar a few years ago due to pain.

however, i've often thought about maybe someday purchasing a light hiking guitar which would be less heavy/tough on my elbows. so i was just looking around...

i found this and thought i'd try it... took the risk. so worth it.

oh my! i'm playing guitar again, a LOT! when i carry it over my shoulders/back, it is so LIGHT that i barely know i have it it does not hurt my elbows when i put it in the car or take it out... nor when i play...

and the sound quality is beautiful! and it doesn't lose its tune more than a normal guitar with new strings.

i LOVE this guitar! it has brought music back into my everyday life, helped me make learning fun for my students, and i'm so grateful.

blessings to you!

I received this well over a week ago. I have been playing it every day since. The strings that came on it sounded fine to me, but I threw on some extra heavy DR Black Beauty acoustics. The little guitar really does sound nice! The DR coated strings really feel great on the fingers. The action at the nut is a little high. I like to grab open F chords, and that can be difficult with the action so high.... I adjusted the truss rod all the way to where the action is at it's lowest, and it's still a little high. I think a little lowering at the nut will make it perfect! I'm not upset about that because it's a good deal for the money. It does sound a little "tinny", or "boxy"? at times, but to me it adds to the appeal. I like the sound of it. I did notice that it's very easy to deaden the tone of the guitar just by having the back of the body against your stomach. Strum a chord and touch the back to your stomach. You will hear a definite muting effect. However, this can be used to change the tonality of songs during playing if done correctly. I didn't notice rough edges on the frets, but there was a coating of some sort on them that was a little rough... It seemed like corrosion, but I couldn't tell. I just used a tiny wedge of balled up aluminum foil to polish the tops of them when I changed strings, and they are smooth as butter now.

I'm not too concerned about appearance. However, this little guitar looks great. I like how it's understated and simple looking. It's sound hole design is simple and pretty. No flashiness on this guitar, which is the way I like it.

Yep, the gig bag is kinda flimsy, so I got a more padded one for traveling. No big deal. The one it comes with is good enough for dragging it around in normal situations though, and it fits right into the padded one I have, so if need be, I can use both.

Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better deal. And, like others have said..... This is the guitar I play all the time now. It's just too easy to carry around, and fits well in the lap for noodling and relaxing, even in an armchair. Intonation is spot on, as I tested it with a Snark clip-on tuner. I was hoping for a bit slimmer of a neck, especially at the nut (even though I have big hands), but I am not altogether put off by it. It still fits my hand well.Snark SN-1 Tuner World Tour Acoustic Guitar Padded Gig Bag for 3/4 Size Guitar
