Best Vilac Pull Toy, Mini Beetle Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this car just because it is made in France.

When I opened the box, my son just grabbed it and started playing.

It is very well made and it looks much cuter in person.

He has lots of cars, trucks and trains.

He is not crazy about this car, but definitely he does play with this car every now and then.

I'm happy about this purchase and will buy it for birthday gift for my friend's boy in the future.

This car is extremely cute. We have this car and the bus and we love them both. This car and the bus are the same color. So if you only plan to get two vehicles I would recommend a different car if getting the bus. If you plan to get more than two this car is a beauty! We just got them so I am not 100% on the durability but they look like they will last a long time. They are painted very well. They are bright in color, have round smooth edges, and are shiny. I can't wait to buy more! Would highly recommend this car and other Vilac vehicles. However, I don't know that I will be sharing with family and friends where we purchased ours because it is fun to have uncommon toys that no one else has. Any child who plays with cars will love this little car!

Buy Kartell 235314-0001 Microscope Slide Staining Rack, 25 Slide, 3.13"

Customer Ratings:

If you're just staining or something it would probably be adequate. Do NOT, however, try to use it to clean things in piranha solution, as I did. The will get clean, sort of, maybe enough for you, but if for semiconductor uses look elsewhere. Polypropylene is resistant to h2so4 and h2o2 but not impervious and as such it will potentially contaminate your substrate. Those are extreme conditions though, normal use seems ok

I like that the handle slips out for varried uses. A small ridge on the outer sides would be good for gripping in those uses.

My 3 year old son loves this toy. He imagines it as many different things and enjoys building with it. My 10 month old also enjoys playing with it.

This toy is a must! Why?

1. It's beautiful, like a work of art. And any way the child "stacks 'em up" looks cool and creative!

2. It's a stacking toy, but because of the lovely shapes, colors and alternate holes, the child can be creative in how he/she stacks the parts.

3. The toy is exquisitely well-made, durable.

4. It's non-toxic and made out of eco-friendly rubber wood. (It's not rubber!) I cannot say enough about Plan Toys. (see bottom of my post)

5. It's a keepsake or heirloom hand-made-down.

6. The pieces are light enough and shaped in such a way that when the child throws the pieces (and he/she will throw them at some point) they should not severely injure anyone.

7. Read the other reviews for more reasons why to buy this toy.

I am so glad I bought this for my son. He started playing with it when he was 12 months old. It was a tad more complicated for him than his regular stacking toy. However, he is now 14 months old and has learned how to stack this slightly more complex stacking toy. He also uses the pieces individually as a cell phone. And occasionally puts the pieces into his dump truck and has the truck cart them around.

Overall, it's one of the best purchases we have made for our son. I love that it has no bells and whistles and yet he finds it interesting and stimulating.

Here's my 2 cents on Plan Toys:

Plan is the only Eco-friendly toy manufacturer to pass and receive the E0 Standard certification (E-Zero is the highest safety standard of exposure to formaldehyde in wooden products or toys). Based in Thailand, Plan Toys supports safe working environments, emphasizes sustainable development, guarantees fair wages, offers no discrimination and no use of child labor. As well, their toys are made of replenished sustainable Rubberwood* in their own factory so they can control the entire process from wood selection, to manufacturing, to shipping. A natural kiln-dry process is used in place of chemical treatment to preserve and stabilize the wood thus making the products preservative-free. Only natural, non-toxic water-based dyes are used. The paints have been tested by independent labs and found to be safe for children and for the surrounding environment.

* After the economic life of the rubber tree (30 years) the latex that it yields becomes extremely low and the planters then fall the tree to plant new ones. So, unlike other woods that are cut down for the sole purposed of producing furniture, Rubberwood is used only after it completes its latex producing cycle and dies.

My daughter is 17 months and she has been playing with this for about 11 months now. At first she would just play with the colored pieces and crashed them together, then she eventually learned how to stack them using the middle hole, but now she's learning to use the holes on the ends. It's also been great for teaching colors and she knows red, blue, and yellow. The post that they stack on may be a little dangerous to leave around if you have younger kids (my daughter tripped and fell right onto it once, that could have been REALLY bad). I still love this purchase though and have bought it for my friend's kids too.

Its good for toddler, maybes the 3T's and up, My daughter who is 2 fell the first few times when she tried to lean her weight on it, ...after a few falls she realized she needs to just lightly push it. Its very light weight unlike the metal ones, I think my daughter would have played more with the metal one. The toys its came with are also OK. Lot of them in paper which will not last very long in my child's hand. But like i said earlier it maybe a good toy for older girls.

Cheap 25 Key My First Piano II

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $69.99
Sale Price: $50.00
Today's Bonus: 29% Off

(The following comments probably also apply to Schoenhut 25 Key "My First Piano II" (Pink), Schoenhut My First Piano II (Red), Schoenhut 25 Key "My First Piano II" (Red), Schoenhut My First Piano II (Red), Schoenhut 2522W My First Piano II in White, and Schoenhut My First Piano II 25 Key Table Top-White from various sellers.)

Here's what's in the box: (1) A painted wood "real playing toy piano" that is 16" wide, 10" front-to-back, and 12" high. It weighs 13 pounds. This is model 2522W in white; elsewhere on Amazon you can buy 2522R in red or 2522P in pink. (2) A cut-to-fit strip that fits above the 25-key keyboard with "C" in red, "D" in orange, etc. (3) A 12-page "Play By Color" book having 10 songs with musical notation in which a rectangle around each note is color-coded to the strip.

As of this writing, the 4 ratings of this item are 2, 3, 4, and 5 stars, so I'll cast a tie-breaking vote by giving it 4 stars. The downsides are: (a) Since the manufacturer's Web site claims that "lovely chime-like notes are produced by little hammers striking precision-ground, German steel music rods," I was expecting a pleasant celesta-like sound. Instead, you get a slightly irritating timbre more like a toy metal xylophone (i.e., a toy glockenspiel) with each bar having a rubber band lightly wrapped around it to dampen the note. And the pitches are ever so slightly out of tune. (If you want to hear samples of the music people can make with the product, search for "Schoenhut" on YouTube.) (b) It's advertised as "tabletop," but putting it even on a low table is too high for a 2-3 year old who will probably sit on the floor to play it (as depicted on the back of the box). (c) It cost more than I would have expected for something made in China.

Nevertheless, it's a lot of non-electronic fun for kids. It seems well-constructed; although it probably wouldn't survive a crash from six feet onto a hard surface, it should be fine for the rough-and-tumble of toddlers on carpeted floors. And unlike many plastic toys, it is adorable sitting in the corner of the room. Buy this from Amazon.com!

I ended up getting red, since the white was out of stock, but the supplier was kind enough to call me after I didn't respond to an e-mail they sent (I never received it!) My 1-year-old niece LOVES the piano and annoys the heck out of my brother-in-law playing it constantly :) It definitely sounds like a toy piano, but the notes are true and the song book that comes with it will be great when she's a bit older.

I bought this toy for my friends daughters first birthday. Her daughter has a deformity in her hand so I was a bit concerned with getting this for her. Turns out that this is her favorite hand and she is even trying to use her hand with the deformity to push the keys. I'm getting one for my daughter for her first birthday. The quality is great and stands up well to a bunch of busy one year olds. I didn't expect it to sound that great, but it sounds really good. I'm very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fishbowl Fill & Spill Soft Baby Toy Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Better than burried treasure, this fill and spill is a real find. Each creature has a unique feature and is brightly colored. Perfect for tiny hands, each day we find something different to enjoy. Some days the rattle of the octopuss is a favorite, and some days the squeak of the starfish makes us smile. And putting the pieces in and out of the little aquarium is endlessly entertaining. Everything seems well stitched and looks like it will last.

I am giving this as a giftso I have yet to open it. It looks like a great toy, well made and nice packaging. It looks age appropriate and the colors and soft materials will definitely attract my nephew.

I am unsure what the "product description size" by amazon is referring toas the product box is 12x8x6so the toy appears to be 7.5 x 6. It is smaller than I thought according to the GIANT picture and product dimensions.

Best Deals for Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fishbowl Fill & Spill Soft Baby Toy

This toy never became a hit in our household because the opening is too narrow. It was hard for my daughter to squish toys into it, and definitely too hard to "spill" them out of it-I'd have to pull them out for her, and that got boring for both of us. They'd wind up just sitting there, stuck.

Eventually, we gave up on the bowl and she just played with the little creatures in her playpen. The creatures are super cute... but I could have bought things like that cheaper if I were going to just use them as stuffed animals. What sold it to me was the "fishbowl" aspect, which looks great, but doesn't work in execution.

Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fishbowl Fill & Spill Soft Baby Toy

The little toys are cute and my 4 month old loves them, but the top of the fishbowl is too narrow to "spill" the toys out as the name implies. In fact, I had a hard time getting the toys out through the top. Maybe an older baby can get them out. The toys are machine washable, which is a plus, and they make cute sounds so they keep my baby's attention.

Received as a gift when DS was 4 months old. He didn't get into it until he was about 7 months old, but now at almost 9 months, he LOVES this toy. He specifically seems to love the starfish. Maybe it's the textured bottom that he likes to teeth on, or the fact that he can hold it from so many different angles. He enjoys the rest of them also, but the starfish is definitely a favorite.

The bowl itself is very well-designed for baby hands. DS can grab onto the sides easily because they're made to be flap-like.

I also like the fact that the toys inside are machine washable. Have already washed them several times and they have held up well. Other toys have lost their noise-making ability, or worn out in the wash, but no problems with these.

Other reviews mentioned that it's tough to get the toys out of the bowl. Probably true, but hasn't been a huge issue for us.

I almost didn't buy this, because it looked kind of old-school and some of the reviews didn't sound so good. But, I am so glad I purchased it anyhow! My 7 year old loves it and is willing to do extra homework just for a chance to play. I sat with him as he played it and, as a teacher, I think these games are perfect for strengthening students' critical thinking skills. There just isn't much time for this training in a normal school day, so this is great for at home practice. Children need these skills to do well with the new way math is being taught in schools cognitively guided instruction. Kids need to be able to think of the quickest, easiest way to solve a problem, and to see problems from many angles. This program will help build those skills.

The main product's focus is to develop the critical thinking skills, which I think is being done by the company and the product. However, the software needs to improve. First, the program requires its CD-ROM to be in the drive each and every time it is played, which is inconvenient and slows down the system. Second, the voice of the teacher on the CD-ROM is dull, very slow and monotone. Third, the method chosen for answering the questions takes too long. One has to wait for the choice to appear on the screen to click it. Lastly, if one provides a wrong answer, there is no explanation provided, as far as I can tell. Perhaps the seller was right when he encouraged me to buy the book instead. I am told that some of these types of books are better than CD-ROMs.

Hexbug Nano Orbit Series 5 Pack Reviews

Today's Bonus: 20% Off

I have four kids 6 years, 5 years, almost 3 years, and a 10 month old. They all love these things, and so do I! I bought this five pack for Epiphany and we've been playing with them daily since. We did not opt to buy one of the pre-fabricated hex bug mazes; we use our wooden blocks to build our own mazes! We also have wood floors, and these things work great on them. The other place we use them is our train table. The edges are just high enough to keep the bugs on the table.

Cons:

The batteries run out pretty quickly. I'd suggest buying the 50 pack of batteries so you can keep the fun going.

It's pretty easy to lose these under appliances in the kitchen. One scuttled under the fridge and didn't come back out. I had to move it and discovered the reason was the copious amounts of dust had trapped it. Oh well. Good excuse to clean that overlooked space. Also, they like to dive into the furnace cold air return vents.

Will they continue being fun once the novelty wears off? We'll see. If the kids get tired of them I'm going to bring them to work to keep me entertained in my cubicle.

We enjoy the whole line of hex bugs in our house. They are easy to loose if your kid is playing in total chaos with them, so have something to store them in. However this pack is a excellent choice at the discounted price. They move crazy fast and are pretty realistic. This set, $25 for 5 and you can open this kit up and use them for separate gifts for birthdays, friends etc.

As a 3rd grade teacher looking for a way to incorporate an independent math center in my classroom while I work with small groups, Hot Dots fits perfectly.

Cheap Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Calendar

Customer Ratings:

I definitely think this is a cute toy but I have some issues. I like the different magnetic pieces that indicate different daily events....for example "go to the dentist" or "sunny day". My problem is that you can go to the dentist ON a sunny day. The spaces for each day are a little too small so there's not room to put more than one event. So when my son went to the library and the doctor on the same day and it was raining outside, we could only fit 2 things and even the 2 things didn't fit well. They hung over into other spaces.

The other issue is that the board is made up of 2 separate pieces. A top piece is the calendar and the bottom piece is just like the calendar but with no writing...it's just blank to hold all the extra magnets. I wish it was the other way because the calendar is a little too high up for my child to see it great but if it were down any lower, my younger son would be able to grab the pieces off and get them in his mouth.

The idea is great. The pieces are cute. I just wish these issues had been addressed.

We love the Melissa and Doug puzzles, so when my 4 year old daughter received the calendar for X-Mas, we were thrilled. We do "Calendar" every day. We bought this one for another little 4 year old as well. My only suggestion, put the calendar in a place that your child cannot reach it without help. There are ALOT of pieces that you don't want to lose.

Best Deals for Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Calendar

I bought this item for my adult special needs daughter and she loves it. There are a few drawbacks, as other reviewers have said.

1. The spaces are too small (or the tiles are too big) to be able to fit more than one on any give day. We've begun putting all the weather related tiles at the top by the month and just changing them daily. That way they don't take up space in the calendar itself.

2. We, too, wish that the makers of this calendar would make blank tiles available for purchase for more customizing. I contacted the company and was basically told that if I want more or replacement tiles, just buy another calendar. Well, we found a way around that. I bought some 1-inch square wooden tiles from Casey Wood Products online for about 7 or 8 cents each, depending on how many you buy. Then I bought some 4x6 inch self-stick magnetic sheets here on Amazon. I made over 100 new tiles for my daughter, detailing all the many activities she's involved in, other holidays that are not included in the set, other special days and fun things like Full Moon, Meteor Shower, Trash Day, etc. I also include other "weather related" tiles such as "Gloomy Day, Thunderstorm, Hot Day, Cold Day, etc. I printed them on full sheet labels, also available here on Amazon, and assembled them.

3. We wanted some extra blank tiles and needed to replace a couple of the round date tiles. I purchased a dry-erase self-stick sheet here on Amazon. I found that my 5/8-inch round paper punch worked wondefully. I just punched a few circles out of the magnet material and out of the dry-erase sheet and put them together. I also made several extra blank square tiles using the dry-erase sheet. Since not all the tiles will fit on the board, I made her a small cloth drawstring bag to keep them in. It worked perfectly.

Altogether this is a wonderful item and my daughter loves it. It's very useful for helping her understand how many days are left until some special event. With a little ingenuity and customization, it suits her needs well.

If anyone woutd like some of the graphics I designed for her special days, I can make them available.

Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Calendar

Good product, typical M&D product which is my favorite choice for my children. The magnets are nice and I'm trying to figure out how to get more of the same (for example weekly music lessons). The squares are also pretty small so if two occasions were on the same day (first day of spring and your child's birthday) you would have to be creative. Magnets for parents and siblings should be included rather than obscure holidays.

My 4 year old loves it and is quickly learning the concepts of a calendar. No complaints here...

I love Melissa & Doug products and will continue to order from their brand. However, I cannot recommend this calendar, because the pieces are too small. Also, the calendar starts with the year 2007 and ends with the year 2011. This product appears to be outdated. My #1 concern about this calendar is safety...too many small pieces. Sorry, I cannot recommend this product.
