My daughter loves guitars and we got this for her 9th birthday. It is thin and small compared to a regular guitar, which is nice. It plays 3 songs and is fun to tap and keep the beat. My husband loves it as much as my daughter. A fun/simple alternative to a normal guitar.

Best Deals for Wow Wee Paper Jamz Guitar Series II - Style 3

So far the guitar is pretty much on perfect play or freestyle. I am really surprised at how well my 4 yr old daughter is doing on the freestyle. She has definitely paid attention at concerts and videos! And yes, she LOVES her new guitar.

As to how well it will stand up, it has been dragged around the house, walked on by the cat and well-loved, and so far so good!

If you have a child into music, you might want to consider one of these guitars for birthday and Christmas presents!

Honest reviews on Wow Wee Paper Jamz Guitar Series II - Style 3

We bought a Paper Jamz and shoulder strap for our daughter's 12th birthday, and she hasn't put it down since her party! It was a good thing we included a pack of AAAs with it, because "Batteries Not Included". I highly suggest that you get a guitar strap for it, because I think after carrying it around all day, your arms would get tired. Also, it's just cool for the kids to add to the "rock star" picture.

Considering it's made of paper, don't expect it to last until your kids go to college, but with minimal care, I think it'll last at least as long as any other toy that's well-loved. I suspect that the paper over the "strumming" area will fade over time (based upon the tester Paper Jamz I've seen in stores) but then again, kids seem to have the attention span of squirrels so by the time it's ready for the trash, they'll probably be ready too.

There's only three songs on it, so it's an extra for the parents that there's a headphone plug-in. Even though it's a great song, there's only so many times I can hear "I Love Rock And Roll." I'm pretty sure that there's a "free play" feature, but I haven't been able to get it away from my daughter to really examine it.

All in all, the parental units are happy and our daughter is happy.

My daughter (age 7) loves this guitar. It comes with 3 demo songs that i'm worried will get very old in about a week. Otherwise she seems to love it so far. It allows for freestyle. Do not expect to be able to play this like you would a regular guitar, but it does open up the idea to younger children and perhaps sparks an interest without you having to buy an expensive guitar and expensive lessons.

Apparently there was a wrong photo listed for this item when I ordered 2 of them a few weeks ago. Because of a gift giving/timing issue, I didn't have time for a return and just gave the gifts anyway. My feedback did reflect that I didn't receive the items pictured. Today I received a phone call from the company saying how sorry they are and that the problem with the wrong photo has been corrected. The caller said their company strives for excellent customer service and they would be fully refunding my purchase price. Wow!!! That was an "out of the blue" surprise & truly excellent customer service. Mistakes happen and when a seller goes out of their way to make it right, I say, "Hooray and gladly offer my sincere thanks." Amazing job in correcting an error and kudos for a job well done. Thank you!

Wonderfully detailed and illuminated globe even has 3D mountains, etc so you can "feel the world". Makes a great ambient light lamp for the living room and also is a wonderful reference for keeping up with breaking world news. All our guests comment how wonderful it as as both a geography reference, glowing light, and decorator piece. The "old world" antique styling makes it even more beautiful. We give it a 10 out of 10!

Two kids (3 and 5) really like to see where the family travels and appreciate the globe vs google maps, which doesn't convey the shape of the earth, solor system concepts, etc., nearly as well. Works well as an intersting mood lighting piece but the bulb didn't last that long. Overall a great purchase.

I purchased this when the price was $95. The "die cast meridian" is plastic and the stand looked like particle board with printed wood finish fixed to it. Globe only spins of you hold the base and rotate globe. I must have been paying a lot for the illuminated feature, because this globe felt an awful lot like a $40 globe. Returned it and bought the hexhedra by Replogle.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this game. Typically at our house we play it with adults, and since you "play for" different features of countries with each round, the game is different every time. The game involves strategy as well as luck, and is also highly educational, even for adults. As with any game based on geography, it is slightly out-dated (e.g., no South Sudan), but that is easily overlooked. Highly recommended!

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Just received it, and love the fit and feel of this item. Gives a good grip. Very thick gel material. A little over 1mm thick. This is not a blue gel skin as advertised. In fact it is turquoise. I was prepared that it will not look blue based on all the reviews. Still was surprised that it is no way close to as pictured. I've decided to upload some pictures of the actual item incase you want to know what it looks like, however Amazon won't let me upload my image. For now, the best color to show you is this item. Look at the greenish/blueish label on the bottle that says Seven Seas. Kraft Seven Seas Green Goddess Dressing, 16-Ounce Plastic Bottles (Pack of 6) Please vote if my review helps. Thanks!

From the picture it looks like the Gel Skin is deep blue, but when it arrived I found it more aqua. I really don't like the color, it seems to clash with the green LeapPad2; but my son doesn't care, and it fits the LeapPad2 like a glove.

I was a bit hesitant to order this because it says it fits both the LeapPad and LeapPad 2; I wondered if I was buying the one for the original LeapPad, which also fits the LeapPad2, but not perfectly (which is what we previously had been using). I checked LeapFrog's website before ordering and just hoped it was the right one it was! This Gel Skin lines up perfectly with the LeapPad2.

Overall I'm quite happy with it, though I probably should have purchased the green one. I feel my son's LeapPad is well protected. I definitely recommend one of these if you own this tablet.

Best Deals for LeapFrog LeapPad2 Gel Skin - Blue(Works with LeapPad2 or LeapPad1)

I wish I would have ordered the green one, I don't like the color it's more green than it is blue but it's not even a nice green. But it still works just the same and fits the leappad2 great. I don't think my 3 year old son will care about the color when he opens it Christmas morning.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog LeapPad2 Gel Skin - Blue(Works with LeapPad2 or LeapPad1)

Just ordered this for my son because his favorite color is blue and like the other reviewer stated the picture looks deep blue, but it is an aqua color. I ordered the green for my other son (I wanted 2 different colors so they could easily tell which one was theirs) and I don't want purple, so we will keep it, but wish it was blue.

I have twins and got them the my friend Emily and this one. Both of them were more attracted to this one. They really really loved it since they were 3 month old... The first thing that attracted them was the crinkly sound of the skirt and the black and white lining underneath it. Now that they are teething every part of Sophie gets chewed on and there is a lot of variety with the ring, the hair, her crown, the link, feet... The BIG downside: Like all Lamaze gym toys Sophie is surface wash only. I like to wash toys before giving them to my babies and even though I skipped it on this one, by now especially with all the chewing it is time for Sophie to take a bath. I will try gentle and cold but expect the ring to break since this seems to be the only low quality part of Sophie. So in the end it is a great toy if you would ask my girls but because it's not a keeper i only give 3 stars. A BABY TOY HAS TO BE WASHABLE from my point of view.

Review of Chomp & Clack Alligator by Melissa & Doug

Chomp & Clack Alligator by Melissa & Doug
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
We purchased this product at a local educational toy store for my 1 year old for his first birthday. As far as its use as a walker, it is VERY sturdy. We have owned plastic walkers in the past and this one is substantially sturdier (as in, it won't tip over as easily when baby pulls up on it) It does require some basic assembly, I think it was just putting two screws in. The wheels have a rubber ring around them so it gets very good traction on wood or carpeted floors. As the toy is pushed the alligators open and close their mouths at regular intervals. Great fun for chomping sisters' barbie dolls. All three of my boys (ages 1, 2, and 4) LOVE this toy and frequently fight over it (so that could be good OR bad depending on how you look at it!) The only caveat to this toy is the NOISE, when pushed quickly it lives up to the 'clack' part of the name, it clacks LOUDLY. That is the only reason I didn't give this toy a 5. However, I highly recommend it.

My one year old grandson loves this toy. He pushes it up and down the halls of our house with a huge grin on his face. Walking behind him makes his parents laugh because he jauntily struts as he pushes. The toy has helped him with coordination and balance while he is having fun. He took his first steps just a few days ago. I don't think he considered this achievement nearly as enjoyable as pushing his alligator.

Best Deals for Chomp & Clack Alligator by Melissa & Doug

My son received this for his first birthday from my mom and he LOVES it. He was just starting to pull up and stand when he got this. I think it really helped him learn to walk. It is very sturdy, only moves when my little guy pushes with a fair amount of force (meaning it doesn't start rolling away when he is using it to stand and get his balance) and it is noisy in a fun way! Also, the little bugs on the cross bar are fun to bat at when your little one is not feeling like walking or standing. I highly recommend this walker. I am confident that this will be a favorite for all my kids (we plan to have 5 and my son is our first, so that speaks both to the quality of the product and how much fun it is). And it was a breeze to put together. Two screws to attach the handle to the base and you are done!

I bought this product for my 9 month old son who was already rearranging our furniture for fun. It's a very cute, easily assembled toy and he's enjoyed it a lot. It moves a lot slower on carpet but that's good for a beginner. I would recomend this to anyone.

My 19-month old daughter loves this book/cartridge for her leap pad. (Much better than she currently enjoys the book that came with the leappad or the Big Sister Dora software). She really enjoys the marvelous noises that Max & his wild things make (she will press the same object on a page 10 20 times before moving to another page or object). This will keep her engrossed for 10 15 minutes at a time before she gets bored or needs to ask for help. And it is a fun story that will grow with her (right now she pretty much ignores the narration).

My 3 yr old has discovered our old leap pad (we purchased it about 6 years ago for our first daughter). She loves it, so I picked up some new stories for it. She enjoyed the story, but I think I liked it more. She spent time going between the different pages, the sounds are good and the narration is good. She has spent more time with other stories though, I would still recommend it if you can find a copy. Especially if your child loves the story.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought this for my grandson (who is 6) to learn some "old games" that grandma played. Yes, you usually play outside, but this brings the game indoors when you can't go out. It came with some marbles and has the largest play mat I could find anywhere. Some games have a mat 16" square or less, but this one gives you plenty of space. I would of liked a bigger container so extra marbles could fit in, but we hunted around and found one with plenty of room for everything. Now he can add his own choice of marbles. There's so many out there! I didn't realize that there are even adult marble tournaments going on. My grandson seems to enjoy it (especially when he wins).

We got this as a companion to the Spark telescope, which is great. This is also a very good toy, with very good images and information. There is no built in storage for the slides, however, which makes it a bit cumbersome, and the sound is not quite as good as the telescope.

Best Deals for SparkTM Talking Microscope

This is a nice little microscope for children just beginning to understand the parts of bugs and insects. My daughter, who is five, enjoys changing out the slides to view different insects, but gets kind of grossed-out over a few of the slides and has put them aside. Because of this, she's become a little bored with this toy. It's too bad that there aren't additional slides to purchase that displayed more than just the traditional spiders and flies, such as: butterflies, dragonflies, fireflies, ladybugs...you know, the "girly" ones! For those of you with bonafide bug-loving children though, this little microscope will definitely hold their attention....The microscope has some interesting facts (though the monotonous voice does get tiresome) and the slides are very durable and come in a nice case.

I loved this and so did my 4 yr old son. Very interesting and awesomely made where the product talks about the slide your looking at, etc. He was terrified of the spiders; however, enjoyed the other bugs. GREAT product!
