I love this kit! It is as advertisedeverything is included and it does make LOTS of slime! I spent an enjoyable afternoon with my grandkids making slime and learning about polymers. We all had a great time. They especially liked how the slime could stretch over a hand (or their toys). The glitter in the Slime Base was also a big hit.
After a few hours of seeing what slime could do, we packed the slime into the (provided) plastic zip bag and refrigerated it for another day. Clean up was simple (they didn't care, but I appreciated that part). I also like that the kit was developed by a kid, well-thought out and with clear instructions. A big two thumbs up for Connor's Kits for Kids!

Cheap Funtime Activity Pull-Along
I recently purchased the Funtime Activity Turtle for my newly walking son. He absolutely loves it! He smiles and laughs when he pulls it along as the turtle head bobs up and down. What's also great is that he can sit with it and press the buttons to make the lights light up and play music. It is great for teaching him cause and effect when he pushes the buttons and it also encourages him to practice his walking more so we don't fall down as much!!Looks hideous to me, but my granddaughter loved to play with all the doodads on the surface of the turtle.

Why must this item cost almost as much as my monthly rent :(? As a broke biology student at ISU, I'd kill to get my hands on this. I'd be the envy of all my peers and my apartment would be a mecca for worthy travelers to behold the wonder of my molecular geometry... but it appears that such was not meant to be. I guess I'll go grab some spray paint, styrofoam balls and dowel rods and cry myself to sleep.

Review of Colors & Shapes
I purchased this dry erase book for my 2 year old granddaughter for Christmas but gave it to her early. She is a little young for some of the activities but is learning about shapes. And the book helps her practice what she has already learned about colors.

It is just a strap. I thought it had additional songs on it or something to add to the play list on the guiter.It looks cool. But would NOT have paid what I did for it if I had known it was simply a plain ole guiter strap. He doesn't need it with these fake guiters.

Reviews of Hape - Double Rainbow Stacker
I bought this for my almost 9 month old because she needed some more toys and I wanted a few that she could enjoy now and grow into.
I decided to get this shape sorter because
No bells and whistles
The wood pieces are from solid wood
The wood peg is held on by strong elastic string so it bends if the baby falls onto it
Educo (Hape Toys) is a Chinese manufacture but meet EU and American standard for toys
Toy shapes appear to be solid wood (web says maple) Base and pegs may be plywood (other main material in product from site)
The box says 12months + but I figured if I took the small pieces out we'd be okay and she will only play supervised right now anyway. The rounded flower pieces are smaller then the star shape pieces. I took the first few of the shapes away from her to save for later. Now there is no choking hazard.
My only complaint is that the peg and the pieces fit snug together. Our daughter at 12 months may not be able to put the shapes on the pegs without help. I may look into sanding down the peg a bit-but for now she is enjoying something new since a rainbow of colors are spread out across the blanket in the living room. She seemed delighted when I gave it to her.
We really liked that it used elastic to secure the wooden posts to the base... this way if a little kid falls onto it, the posts will easily collapse on their side instead of impaling them.
My niece loved it :)

If you want a stacker that will hold your child's attention, this one is a good choice because it is one of the more interesting ones out there. It manages to hold my girls' attention without the use of any batteries, and that's a major plus for me. It could also be used to teach the basics of sorting. I mix all the pieces together and have them separate them into the 2 different shapes and then stack them.Honest reviews on Hape - Double Rainbow Stacker
Well, I don't know what to say except that it's definitely a double rainbow. In fact, it is also complete, making this item a *double* *complete* rainbow It's so intense! From the right angle, one might even say that it is beginning to look like a triple rainbow. But somehow, I'm left pondering one question. What does it mean?Saturday, August 30, 2014
Review of Big Bird Stack And Nest
Our 16 mo old twins love this toy. I dont know what the other reviewer is talking about in terms of a sharp big bird-all of our parts are safe, not sharp, easy to handle and of superior plastic-very durable. Not cheap thin flimsy stuff at all. Boys love this stacker compared to the other non Sesame ones we have. And, Quinn keeps trying to find other things to put the rings around, testing shapes to see what fits. Great toy!

I have a 10 month old who prefers playing with my cell phone, his wipes case, or even an empty box. It is rare he will sit and play with a toy but this one he loves. Very simple and straightforward. I think it is very well made and the price was right. Comes with 4 rings (including the topper with Big Bird) and the base. Perfect size for little hands, and very bold, bright colors to keep him interested.Best Deals for Big Bird Stack And Nest
I think this toy was smaller than it looks in the pictures. i was not a big fan of it. my son played with it the first hour he had it and now can care less for it.Honest reviews on Big Bird Stack And Nest
The rings are heavier plastic than I was expecting, so I was pleasantly surprised. I love that Big Bird in his nest tops off the whole thing. My daughter loves to knock it over.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Big Bird Stack And Nest
This is a really cute stacker and I love that the pole part is like a Sesame Street street lamp. However, when big bird is on top, my daughter has a hard time carrying it. You have to have your hand underneath the bottom to carry it and that's just not realistic of a toddler to do when she wants to carry a toy. She goes to grab it and gets it bird while the rest of the toy just sits there.Saturday, August 23, 2014
Best Fadeless Design Rolls Weathered Wood - 48 inch x 12 feet Deals
I would give the actual product 5 stars, but the packaging was damaged. It arrived bent in the middle and the roll of paper was bent as well, so there is a crease right through the center. I took pictures of the packaging and paper before I unrolled, thinking I would have to return it. But once I rolled it out on the floor and taped it down, it was fine. I used it for a Valentine's theme photoshoot, and it photographed so beautifully! The crease is not even visible in the photo.
This is a thin piece of paper and I did not expect it to last long when I bought it. But for the price, it is a great value. I cut the roll in half to get two 6' pieces, so I will be able to extend the life of the product, but I don't expect it to last for more than a few sessions.
Edited to add: 4' would seem like plenty, but I had trouble getting two tweens to fit into the picture with it, so it's not wide enough for families or bigger kids. Perfect for babies and a single toddler, though.

I bought this roll for use in my studio. It is much thinner than I expected, but it was relatively inexpensive so it would be easy to replace. I taped it in place with painters tape, and as long as you peel slowly, it comes off without ripping the paper. It will last a few sessions since I mainly shoot infants and small children without shoes, and then I can roll another use out of it. It photographs beautifully.Edited to add: 4' would seem like plenty, but I had trouble getting two tweens to fit into the picture with it, so it's not wide enough for families or bigger kids.

Review of My First Science Experiments
Lakeshore Learning set quite a set to my kids. I didn't expect to see so many in the box. When my kids got home from preschool they had such a field day playing with Lakeshore Science Viewers: Complete Set & the My First Science Experiments. This whole package came to me super fast and full of fun in each box and lots of learning toy products for toddlers and up.
The Lakeshore Science Viewers: Complete Set which I never expected to get this many. I remember having a version like these in the 80/90′s when I was growing up and remembered how many hours I spent looking, changing, and pulling the lever down for a new picture. When my boys got this wonderful set from lakeshore learning we pulled all the round cards out, and started to stack them up. To look through the viewers. I gave 2 of them to a friend of mine who has a kiddo around the same age as W. The viewers are made of plastic, and they seem to handle much handling great. We dropped one on the hardwood and tile and it handled it very well, nothing broke or rattled so its safe to say toddlers won't damage them. The cards are made of cardboard and some kind of film, which will bend with little effort, so with that in mind I suggest letting your kids play with a few at a time. Each box shows off something different. Flowers, animals, mammals, and so on, over 35 pictures per box that's 5 discs per box. I like how they come with a viewer per box, just in case you lose one, or someone borrows it.
The My First Science Experiments was the very first toy we cracked open. Comes with salt, coloring tablets, tray, test tubes and so much more. You can do many experiments with just this box with just about 13 to be exact. My toddler had way more fun adding the colored tablets to the water more than anything, watching and listening to the water fizz as the colors dissolved. Once all the tablets, and salt is gone, your left with the tray and test tubes, which if you have items around the house you can keep playing with the science set. My kiddo's had fun playing with this set and spent a few hours experimenting with the ingredients included. The quality of the whole set is great and sturdy and handle much water weight in the test tubes, and the tray can handle the colored tablets fine, and wont dye the tray for future uses.

Reviews of B. Sugar Chute
Originally purchased for my 1 year old's birthday, but her 7 year old brother loves it too! There's just something so fascinating about popping those funky balls in the top, turning the lever , watching them spin around and down into the little hatch then doing it over and over again!! Besides being entertaining, it teaches cause and effect, develops fine motor skills and keeps surprising baby every time the balls appear at the bottom. I love the retro 'gumball machine' look of this toy and even the balls have vibrant patterns.There's also a key on the side that makes that great old fashioned 'ratchet' sound when turned.I plan on buying this toy for friends' kids too. So happy with this purchase!
