Best Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds Remote Deals

Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds Remote
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

This is a winner! Its mostly taken the place of the real remotes in the house which is great! I find it comical that some of the other parent review have said this toy is "not educational" or not much for "brain development". People toddlers learn by playing. That is how their little brain develop. A toy remote is not a set of flashcards, but thankfully toddlers don't require flashcards to learn and develop their brains.

After searching for some time for a play remote for our daughter, we found this at a local Walmart store. It's EXACTLY what I had been looking for!

Looks close enough to the real thing that your baby shouldn't be too disappointed when you swap your real remote with this one.

My daughter loves how the blue eyelids close.

All the buttons makes SEVERAL sounds the volume buttons on it actually do turn it up and turn it down in volume!

Her favorite button to push is the number 6 because it plays cute music.

Teaches numbers.

I always bring this with when we travel in the car or shopping at the mall. Small enough to fit in your purse, but big enough to occupy their time for a while!

VERY durable I can't count the number of times it's been thrown around and dropped and it works perfectly!

I just love it! The batteries seem to last forever in it too which is a huge plus!

Buy it, you'll love it! We've had ours for well over a year now, it's in perfect shape, and our 19 month old still loves it.

We bought this for our daughter when she was 9 months, and she still loves it at 15 months. Our family loves the humor built into all the Sesame Street programs and toys, and this remote is no different. The volume key actually works to incrementally turn up or down the volume of the toy and the big Monster eyes are a hit with the little one, they make a cute "power on / power off" noise when you hit the button on the side. She always liked to open and shut the eyes with her finger and I think this helped refine her control of her index finger.

The best part of the remote is that it has saved us from numerous tantrums as it is very easy to throw in the diaper bag.

Honest reviews on Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds Remote

This toy caught my eye because it looks almost exactly like my actual TV remote. Same color, shape, even the buttons are similarly placed. My son has an obsession with our TV remote, and whenever he gets his little hands on it, it takes me forever to undo whatever it is he's done to the TV settings!

As soon as I received this, I didn't give it to him right off. I placed it on the arm of our couch (where I tend to place our actual remote) and let him find it on his own. When he spotted it, he made a mad dash for it, and was just thrilled to pieces! He kept looking at me sideways, wondering when I was gonna take it away, and sat quietly on the couch with it for some time!

I absolutely recommend this little toy! I never put it with all his other toys, I always keep it in the living room where the real remote is so he can feel like he's playing with the actual thing...this was definitely a smart purchase!

Cheap World Percussion SP0207TD Remo Thunder Tube Tie-Dye

World Percussion SP0207TD Remo Thunder Tube Tie-Dye
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This is basically a heavyweight cardboard tube with a long metal spring attached to the bottom. When you shake the tube, the sound is amplifies and resonates, making booming "thunder" sounds. A range of other sounds can also be created by running fingers along the spring.

It is a simple invention, but strangely addictive people young and old like to pick it up and play with it.

It is also surprisingly durable. I've had one for over 10 years, and it is still in great shape. In that time, it has been a classroom staple, gone to adult trainings and business meetings, been featured in a couple of elementary school plays, been loaned out for a "haunted house" fundraiser, and is often played with by kids at home. I bought the thing on a whim to get kids' attention in the classroom (MUCH cooler than a bell or whistle!) but have been surprised by all of the other uses that we've found for it.

I recently purchased the tie-dye version as a unique gift for an eleven-year-old girl. It will fill a basket with a tin of "thinking putty", a set of "jelly marbles" and a few other fun science toys. I must say, it is great for the person who has everything, especially if that person likes to make noise!

I bought one of these thunder tubes for my son, who's a percussionist. It makes reallly cool (and somewhat eerie) sounds. During dog-training class someone mentioned her dog is terrified of thunder, so I bought a second one for my trainer. She likes to condition the dogs to all kinds of sounds so they won't bark or run when they hear noises. She bangs on buckets, puts metal stuff in a shopping cart and wheels it around, and sometimes even fires a cap-gun to simulate the sound of firecrackers. The thunder tube has been a great addition to her noisemakers, and everyone likes playing with it. It's been about a month since it arrived, and the dogs seem to be getting comfortable with the sound. Hopefully it will help them be less reactive to our next thunderstorm!!

I was a bit skeptical as to how this would sound, especially since I had never heard of a thunder tube until I saw it here on Amazon the other day. So I ordered it, thinking, it's not very expensive, so why not try it? The tie-dye is a bit cheesy I'd rather it be a solid color, and I'm sure I could have gotten that, if I wanted to pay more.

That said, this thing sounds amazing! it can be very soft or very LOUD, depending on how you shake it. Rubbing the spring that hangs down creates some cool sounds as well. We like that one good shake creates a nice robust "gong" sound. So now we have a gong without actually buying a gong! lol

This is a box of quality slides that I ordered when I purchased my Microscope. What can you really say about a glass slide? They are nice slides for what I am planning on using them for and for the price you can't go wrong buying them. If you don't want to purchase covers just put another slide on top. Try them..You'll like them. Just keep away from little kids as these are glass and can cut and be broken into little pieces.

The cut outs are perfect but this is not a snug case. The sides are a little flappy and very easy to lift when handling. It does have a good grip though so that helps it not slide out cute little hands. I'm hoping it doesn't stretch or it may be useless. It's all we have so its better than nothing :)

Santa and Grandma together got this for my son, who is almost 6. He can't put it down!! He loves his Digi and "Fists of Foam" is his favourite by far. It's great for kids who are fairly new to the hand-held game world. It didn't take long for him to get the feel of it, and he's really into learning the math areas. I love that the game rewards him and gives him the chance to find the right answer rather than only give him once chance! I am a huge fan of the Digi and a long time fan of LeapFrog. If you want to limit the exposure to all those kill em and blood & gut games with no value, but want the gaming experience-please get one of these for your kid. It's perfect for 5-9 year olds. I was worried that I would have to sit there and read out directions and questions the entire time, but I was happy to see that the game reads out questions and ofers "hints".

Santa brought my son a Didj along with the Spongebob and Indiana Jones games. He has logged significantly more hours on the Indiana Jones game as well as a new one Clone Wars. Even though Sponge Bob is his favorite TV show, the game doesn't appear to be as engaging as the other two.

Got this for my son's didj, to give him a little more variety when we went on vacation this summer, and he loved it.

Game play is simple for a 6 year old, and I love how he gets excited when he gets to the parts where he has to answer the questions to move on. Anything that makes learning fun for children should be encouraged.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Didj Custom Learning Game SpongeBob SquarePants: Fists

OK, granted this is a mom's perspective and I have not played many video games. This game came with a bundle from Leapfrog when I bought the Didj for our 7 yr old. His game experience has been limited to a couple games on the Leapster and we admittedly limit his TV. He is not familiar with this TV show either. I tried out this game after my husband objected to the level of 'violence' and had to agree with him. The character walks along and has to chop and kick opponents to get through the level. At the end of the level, there are 6 math questions. I didn't find other math questions, and the wait for those math lanterns to drop so you could chop at them was annoying. Maybe I'm missing something but I thought this game was pretty weak compared to the Indiana Jones one I tried.

My granddaughters always loved these things at the doctors office, but I had never thought about actually buying one until my wife mentioned it. The quality of this product is exceptional and I expect to have it around for quite a while. It's been dropped, dragged, stepped on, piled on and it still looks like new. The older grandkids (including the 7 year old) all sit and play with it from time to time. I was hesitant to spend this much on a toy like this and was a little disappionted with the size when I first opened the box, but as it turns out it is the perfect size for toddlers and it's one of the only toys I bought last year that survived and is still being played with almost every day.

i bought this for a sensory toy for a memory care unit at my work. the residents will carry it around and move the "spaghetti" around in their fingers. i wanted to see what all the fuss was about so i brought it to my desk one day and found myself playing with it while on the phone. it actually is quite relaxing, especially when you feel you need to be moving but have a stationary task to be completed. i would buy it again.

I ordered the Spaghetti Ball on a whim, while I was searching for a new Koosh. I'd never seen it before and I though it was worth a try. It is just as fun as a Koosh ever was! The "tentacles" are slightly slimier than a Koosh, but nothing near as slimy as the squishy balls I've seen at Walgreens. My 3-y-o who has sensory processing disorder didn't mind the mild sliminess, and he won't play with playdoh. We've had a lot of fun this morning, swinging, bouncing, throwing it, and wearing it on our heads like a wig! The only negative is that if you swing the ball by just one or two strands, the strands will break, but that's no big surprise. I gave it a 3 for educational value, b'c I was really surprised that my little boy who is usually so sensitive about textures and sliminess would play with it. I thought for sure that he would drop it as soon as he felt it. He was excited to try it out, but when I gave it to him, he looked at it funny--like he wasn't too sure about this thing--but then he started to bounce it. I feel like it has value for introducing kids to new textures, and will be good for language stimulation.

Cheap KLOO's Learn to Speak French Language Card Games Pack 1 (Decks 1

KLOO's Learn to Speak French Language Card Games Pack 1
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I bought this directly from the company site because Amazon US doesn't yet offer extension packs 3 & 4. The purchase was a gift for a bright 13-year old girl who has had just a bit of exposure to French before. She enjoyed playing it alone and with some French-speaking grown-ups (including me). It's great because most of the intro language books available just give students some vocabulary without helping them to build sentences. And plowing through grammar charts is boring for many, especially in the beginning of learning a new language. Games like Kloo are important to break this psychological barrier and give the student a feeling of actually speaking with confidence. It's also one of the rare language learning tools suitable for the "young adult" students who have outgrown children's intro books but find college-level textbooks too intimidating. At any age, language learning should be fun, or it doesn't work. In this case, it was definitely fun. We'll be looking forward to additional extension packs, with more words/verb forms (including other tenses, for example). I'm glad to see this listed on Amazon US as it's easier to purchase & will be recommending other language packs (e.g.Spanish and Italian) to my co-workers.

Having been rubbish at school at learning languages I was a bit sceptical of learning French using the kloo game, but have been proven wrong! Four friends and I are travelling to Europe to celebrate one of the groups 50th birthday, I set myself the challenge of learning French. Whilst others in the group have been going to weekly Italian night classes I have used only the Kloo cards and have been thrilled. I'm remembering the words, I'm able to string together sentences, I've had a lot of fun my 17 year old daughter actually wants to play it with me rather than me having to bribe her! There are heaps of games which you can play on your own, with someone else or with a group, we've also made up our own games and rules. I'm now going to get packs 3 & 4 and am looking forward to learning even more.

Best Deals for KLOO's Learn to Speak French Language Card Games Pack 1 (Decks 1

I have long thought that playing a game would be the perfect way of learning a language. However I have searched high and low and found almost nothing. I was excited when I finally found Kloo. The game has an innovative approach. You build sentences by combining cards. Each card represents 1 word and additionally defines 1 (different) word. So your brain maintains that sense of curiousness about the word that helps you seek out and remember its meaning. You search other cards for the definition of this word. The main 2 areas for improvement of this game are (1) that players can take a long time to make their sentence. We solved this by requiring players to make their sentence before their turn. (2) Since we really knew no French at all, I had no idea how to pronounce the words. The cards do print a pronunciation so really this is not an issue but I found it helpful to install the excellent free app on my smartphone called Google Translate. This app is great because it can speak words to you. We also used Google Translate to help us have an immersive experience. We looked up the French for "your turn" and "this word means".

One neat twist is that because you are building sentences out of words at random, you assemble pretty silly sentences. This reminds me of the very funny game "You've Been Sentenced" in that respect. We have fun hamming it up as we pronounce the silly sentences in our best French accent.

Bottom line: my kids (10 and 8) and I had fun and learned quite a few French words! Definitely a worthwhile product.

Honest reviews on KLOO's Learn to Speak French Language Card Games Pack 1 (Decks 1

I've been wanting to improve my French for a while now, so when my daughter (homeschooled) asked me to help her learn French, I was pretty excited. I've taken classes in high school and in college, but the best way I've been able to learn the language is by using it, and KLOO is a wonderful way to just jump in and start speaking French to each other. One of my main problems was figuring out French word order, which is often different from English, so this is helping me greatly as the whole game is about putting sentences together. Even better, my daughter and I are both learning at our own levels, yet using the same game! She's learning her vocabulary so much faster than she would have with traditional ways of learning, because she wants to do better each game. As she learns a word, she gets more points. I just can't say enough about these cards!

My husband and I purchased French Kloo Decks 1 & 2 without knowing if we would enjoy this game. Not a very expensive risk but still a risk because we did not see it in our local stores or knew of any friends who owned them so that we could try the game out first.

We had a blast! It was a little challenging at first since we are very new to French but now we realize how much we have learned when days later we are remembering the words from playing the game. They stick in your brain! I should add that the words on the cards are useful and are needed for everyday language which is very important to us.

I highly recommend this game for anyone new to the language and needing a fun and interesting way to learn it.
