Reviews of Small Bismuth Crystal .45-.5 Inch Man-made Mineral Specimen w Info

Customer Ratings:

This was purchased for a young teen's science project on the element Bismuth. There are only so many things you can say about Bismuth, so this was an interesting addition. It's possible to make your own Bismuth crystal but ordering one is easier. The crystal itself has interesting geometric formations and coloration (just as pictured) but it is not as lustrous as we expected. It has a dull metal finish and will not necessarily gleam or shine as a "crystal" typically does.

Got this game for the smart cycle for my grandson for his birthday. Had it shipped to him so it would be there when we arrived out there for the celebration. He loved it. Seeing the characters from the film was a nice touch to the learning situation.

This module is a great intro to kindergarten material that preschoolers enjoy and can grow with. The older kids chip in and show them new tricks as all of them learn more. It is a huge intelligent use of child time.

Reviews of Kid's Light Weight EVA Drop-Proof iPad Protective Case with Handles

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $25.88
Sale Price: $22.88
Today's Bonus: 12% Off

Yes, this plastic case will most likely extend the useful life of that iPad mini. Bright blue shines in the dark; fit is so tight I don't know if the mini will ever escape; handles enough for an octopus to be satisfied. BUT I'm not a kid but a seasoned camera operator and I wondered how much more quality could be obtained from this Apple device if given a chance. So now I know . . . This product allows a two-handed secure and controlled movement of the built-in camera which approaches that yearned-for steadycam setup. One handed operation provides safe extreme framing, both in the vertical and the horizontal. The plastic frame is camera friendly, only wayward fingers ever obscuring the lens. Plus when I'm lying on my back, reading the screen, the frame can be turned upside down thus placing the middle handle on my chest and immediately improving my perspective. A solid alternative use to that advertised and fully endorsed by me.

I have a 17 month old baby boy and this allows him to hold the ipad mini with ease and he has dropped it several times while toddling around, and it keeps the ipad mini all in one piece. Side handles are the best especially when we reading together while lying down. Only problem is the crevice for the earphone plug is too snug making it hard to pkug and unplug. Otherwise, the rest is all great. And the blue color is perfect with the white ad mini.

Cheap Educational Insights Jumbo Lowercase AlphaMagnets -Multicolored

Customer Ratings:

Great for my sons education. He loves rearranging the letters and spelling things....but the magnets on some of the letters are falling off after the first 2-3 months. I have to watch him when he plays with them now to make sure he does not swallow any. I am thinking I might just remove all the magnets and let him play with them that way....

I've been looking for plastic magnets big enough to not pose a chocking hazard to my 1 year old. These are perfect plenty big and he has fun putting them on and taking them off of the fridge, dishwasher, etc. He's good about not putting them in his mouth but with twins on the way I'm grateful that I won't have to put these away to keep the babies safe.

Learning Resources Ten-Row Abacus Review

Customer Ratings:

Plastic is cheap. Wish that I could have found the same abacus I had as a child, one made of real things like wood and steel only, with a bowed front as to easily access he beads. My child can't really play/learn with this item because it is so cheaply made. My child doesn't particularly enjoy working with it. I feel because of the lack of quality as well as the deficient design aspects, this important learning tool has been cheapened to trash. It's not that expensive but for what I received it should have only been a $3to $5 item.

I bought this for my daughter because her preschool teacher said she was "not progressing" in math she just wasn't interested. We've had this abacus for just 4 weeks, and I've personally seen my daughter advance dramatically from counting 1-20 (she had a hard time with the teens at first), she went to 100, to simple addition, to counting by 2s and 10s, and now she's doing simple subtraction all in the space of a few weeks. But the great thing is she loves it to her, it's a toy, not work. She loves to show people the abacus and asks them to do math problems with her.

I suspect the key to the abacus may be that it uses the senses kids can touch it, and I think that really helps. Now she doesn't even need to count out, say, 5 beads she just clicks over 5 and off she goes. And the great thing is that she's started doing math on her own in her preschool class she loves it now.

I can't say that this product is better than other abacuses, although it is well built and quite durable, but it certainly fit our needs.

The funny thing is that my wife wants me to buy another one for our 2 year old son, who is also fascinated by it.

Best Deals for Learning Resources Ten-Row Abacus

Admittedly, I did not buy this product for the use they advertise I pretty much have counting down, and this *does not* function as a real abacus in terms of learning to do more complex math functions (as it is easy to see it does not have the split and the 5/2 bead arrangement).

However, I've found two very handy uses for it and am quite happy with the product.

1) I originally bought this to keep track of the laps I swim in the pool. I like to relax and let my mind wander as I swim, and would inevitably lose track of the lap I was on an issue in that I'm really trying to keep to a regime and increase the number of laps. Being mostly plastic, this can sit on the edge of the pool and get wet, and it takes only a second to flick a bead over as I turn (true, I don't flip-turn under water, that would make it impossible). The metal rods that hold the beads have not shown any signs of taking issue with the water, and I'm optimistic it will hold up well.

2) As mentioned in another review, this works great for knitting and crocheting, and keeping track of rows. I have a crafting pegboard made specifically for that, but it take a lot more time and effort to move the little pegs you don't even have to put down your work to shove the bead over, and not more pesky trying to count the rows to remember where you are.

This may be a useless review for those wishing to purchase an educational toy, but maybe if it gives someone an idea of another way to tackle a different problem, it's worth it.

If you are looking for a big drum that will produce big sound, this is the drum for you. This has been on my wish list for years and finally I had a good reason to buy it. The sound is big. You can damper it if you need it softer and producing a different kind of sound by simply placing one hand on the drum. It is a great drum that two or three can use at the same time.

Remo drums have great sound and are extremely well made. My 5 year old grandson has 3 of them including this large gathering drum. It is fantastic to see several kids play together and synchronize their beats. It can be played with either mallets or hands to produce beautiful music.

No problem with the ordering or delivery.

Cheap Replogle Globes Illuminated Austin Globe, Antique Ocean, 16-Inch

This globe is eminently satisfactory! The quality is excellent; the finish on the stand is fine; the antique oceans fit my decor far better than the more traditional garish blue.

The globe is relly nice, lights up, attractive. The stand is a little bulky, but it is better than the pedastal stands that just never seem to tighten up. The way the globe sits on the stand is a little inconvenient because the electric wire for the light hangs down undernear and requires some attention when you turn the globe very much. But all in all, I like it. It's big enough and good for showing the kids where things are. Which is what I got it for.

What a great and fascinating gift for most children, who always seem interested in other countries. I got one as a child myself 63 years ago, which I passed on to one of my children. Countries have appeared and others disappeared, but still the fascination continues. If you want to give something to a child which they will like and treasure all their life, you can't go wrong with this. Our grandson loved it!

Reviews of Early Lingo Numbers and Counting at The Farm DVD (Part 2 Spanish)

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old. The video is well done, but the format is a bit boring. It gives a picture of an animal, states the word for the animal 3 times with the associated picture, and then counts how many of the same animal there are in a picture. Now imagine that repeated over and over for different animals. My child didn't even finish watching it through the first time. I feel this video is more like Baby Einstein videos, and probably would work better for children younger than 3 yrs.

Best my first fish bowl by lamaze / learning curve Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this toy for my newborn daughter because I thought it was simply the cutest toy. She is now 9 months old and loves it. Her favorite is the crinkly crab but the jangly fish, jingly starfish, and squeaky oyster are fun too. She loves to take them out after I put them in. The clear bowl is just plastic so the toy is extremely portable to take along with you. The instructions say surface wash but I tried washing the creatures in the washing machine (I used one of those mesh bags) and they came out just as perfect as when they went in. This toy is well worth the money. Your child will get lots of use out of it and I can just see future use as a pretend pet.

How much fun can a cloth fish bowl give you and your baby? LOTS! Jaden is 8 months old and he loves this toy. I love it too! Jaden loves to empty the bowl, bring the bowl up to his face then look through the plastic part-it cracks him up everytime. Then he will fill the bowl back up with his sea friends and put it back to his face! It is a great cause and effect toy! He also loves to watch me put the friends in and take them out. This toy is a good way to sooth a fussy baby.

This toy was given to my son by his grandmother. I saw Lamaze and immediately thought it would be a great toy. Not the case.

My son received this fish bowl when he was about 4 months old. He is now 9 months. He chews on the crab for hours, but other than that not much else. I feel that this is an expensive teething toy.

I like the variety of color and the different textures of fabric the toy offers.

Just got this for my 4 year old's birthday he wanted a pair of binoculars and I couldn't see spending alot for something he may or may not use.

This is a fantastic set! the flashlight alone was worth it it's a manual charge LED they sqeeze a handle to charge the batteries. LOVE it! Binoculars are ok for a kid, minimal magnification, but my guy doesn't mind or know the difference. If he'd ever actually looked through a real pair he might be disappointed, but for a beginner they're just great especially love the break-away safety strap. The compass is functional although he's not interested in learning how to use it (big brother helps him with that part). Overall this is perfect for us. My son is thrilled and I feel like I got more than my money's worth. Plus he looks darn cute running around with his explorer kit strapped on, ready to conquer the jungle!

Buying a second one for big brother's (7th)birthday !

LEGO Duplo Little Forest Friends Counting Game Review

Customer Ratings:

This game is really sweet, and a lot of fun with preschoolers. My two year old has giggly fun counting the number of steps during play for each person. Each play card in the basic set has a number and countable forest things like flowers, snails, ladybugs, etc. Additional card sets and more complex rules can be used to make the game more challenging for older children... addition and subtraction sets. The game pieces include the cute Little Forest Friends in four different colors, small snail and flower cards to add complexity on the board, and 3 duplo bricks in each of the four colors (2-4 players). Really cute and very fun to play such a game with a child just learning how to take turns and count!

I have to say, that it is a really a shame when such cute, simple and fun toys with educational value ends up being so difficult to find. When the price gets way too high, such toys become unobtainable for the very kids that could get so much joy out of playing with them with 'grownups'. I got this game for less than $10 on Ebay just a few months ago, and I hope that Lego can make this game again and make it more widely available, at a price point that makes it accessible to more kids.
