We were so hopeful about this kit, but the activities are actually a bit lame in person. The instructions for making your own fossil dig have you making not nearly enough plaster/sand to actually cover the dinosaur. "Use this clay to make pretend teeth" doesn't really live up to the potential. And the wooden dinosaur is more fragile than first grade fingers seem ready for (or adult fingers-not easy to remove). The kit says there are pictures online to better see the finished wooden dinosaur, but so far, it's just a small version of the single picture on the kit. A bit more hints or instructions would help the younger set. I'm very disappointed in this and expected better from Scholastic.

My 6 yr. old loves science. We've been using The Magic School Bus kits as our science curriculum for school. He begs to do it everyday, doesn't get bored, is attentive and actually retains a lot of information we learn from the kits. The kit includes activities that he can do himself (he can measure things and mix ingredients); the material in the kit is easy to clean up, so I don't have to worry about damaging clothes or my house; and there's enough material that if he wants to do the activity a second time, we can.

We are also part of a group with home school families where he participates in a science class with other kids his age. I often hear him saying, "I remember doing this!" and than giving the answers to the teacher's question. It's amazing we can have fun and gain an education, too!

My son had a great time learning about dinosaurs with this kit. The dinosaur model was a lot of fun to make and the instructions in this kit were fun and easy to follow. The time line chart with stickers is hanging in his room and the diorama is shown to everybody that comes to visit. Lot's of fun and my son loves giving this kit as birthday presents.

This was a great project that my son and I got to do together, quality one on one time. The diorama is so cool! I would recommend this to any child who is in to creating, or inventing, things. He is already asking for another Magic School Bus kit!

This is really not a toy so it was hard to rate it but it is a great addition to the "My Tot Clock". I love the idea that you can change the face of this clock to blend with the decor of the child's room. My granddaughter loves the colors,the rainbow and the dancing shoes on her faceplate.

Reviews of ABC Train Travel Bag

Customer Ratings:

We orderd this to take along on vacation and although it is a great too in theory, there are way too many pieces (and they are quite small) and can easily get lost. Some of the words could fall under two different letters (ex. is the teddy bear T for teddy or B for bear? and the the violin looks more like a guitar). Great idea, but not so great in the end.

This is really a neat toy! I have a 19 month old and 5 year old we purchased this almost 6 months ago and it is still a very liked toy by both. It really isn't a travel toy d/t the small pieces but keeps both ages attention very well. My oldest likes to put them back into place as fast as possible with the timer on and the youngest likes to just make the animal noises and trys to eat some of the food items. They are washable pieces for we have had a few in our mouth(ice cream). fun product that zips up neatly to secure all parts. Well worth the cost and any friends love this toy its neat and new old or new!

I have 2 girls, 2 and 4 years old, that are exploring letters and numbers. We figured, like potty training, introduce it in a slow and fun way, without pressure, and they will be learning in no time and without a battle. They love this bag! They carry it around all the time and it is holding up very well. It is introducing letters and sounds in a way that doesn't seem boring and controlled. Some of the ways they use it really brings out their creativity!

I am also very impressed with the quality. My husband and I couldn't help but to take notice of the effort to detail and the work it must have taken to put together. We have owned this awhile now and it is still in arrival condition.

I would highly recommend this purchase!

LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Ni Hao, Kai-lan Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $11.39

The cartridge actually has three different games on it and each game has a different level. There is a matching game, and a swimming race game, and a game in which they have to find what doesn't match. I bought it over the summer for my 3 1/2 year old daughter for a long car trip and she has mastered it. Granted, it is the only one we have so she has to play it anytime she wants to play her Leapster but I think the packaging says for a 4-6 year old and I really think a 5 or 6 year old would get bored with it pretty quick. However, it has been a great investment for our family. I'm sure when she gets some new ones for Christmas, she will never pick this one up again.

compared to some of the other leapster games, this one is very short. the 3 games can be repeated for new prizes but the repetitiveness is very obvious to the kids and can be boring quickly enough. It is a nice and sweet game, I just expected a little more variety. I got this game at a half-price sale, so that was worth it, but not full price compared to other Leapster games.

This game for the LeapFrog Leapster 2 Learning Game System Pink is a great game for girls and boys. My daughter is in preschool right now and enjoys watching the Ni Hao, Kai-lan on TV. When we bought both of our kids the Leapster 2 for the holidays we were happy to find this game available for it. She really enjoys playing the games on this cartridge. Generally she has a low attention span, but it is age appropriate. On a recent road trip this game and 1 other kept her occupied for over 16 hours! I was thoroughly impressed.

I have played it a little bit but I am not completely familiar with the show so I cannot speak to the accuracy of the characters. It was fun to fiddle around with and I could see the lessons they were attempting to teach. It was done very tastefully and with enough subtlety as to not appear to be teaching without a purpose.

I would highly recommend this game for anyone with a preschool age girl or boy.

Thank you for reading my little review.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Ni Hao, Kai-lan

My 4 YO daughter received this game with her new Leapster II at the holidays. She had wanted it for so long and was thrilled to have a video game device like the big kids have. Now, four months later, she has yet to master an understanding of what the goal of each game is or the motions that create consistent success in the games. Granted, she doesn't even play with this every week, and she is improving every time she plays.

We do a lot of creative imaginative play at our house and also at her preschool. My husband jokes that she inherited my video gaming skills -I am famous for playing Quake and basically just standing in the corner and shooting myself or jumping into lava.

So I think the key to success with this toy is knowing the child who will be using it, and sticking to the age recommendations on the packaging. Some kids my daughter's age have mastered all the games on this cartridge; mine will be growing into it for the rest of the year.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. Even though the game is labelled for ages 4-6, the 2 1/2 year old can do much of it. She loves it! I think most children over the age of 4 would find this one boring.

This is a super game for beginning and intermediate Spanish learners. I let them use a dictionary to search for new words too. This game reinforces old vocabulary and teaches new vocabulary.

Reviews of Bendon Publishing 204352 Thomas and Friends ABC Learning Cards

Customer Ratings:

I have been having trouble getting my son interested in learning his letters. He loves everything Thomas, so I bought this hoping it would increase his interest, which it did. He practices letter sounds with me several times a day now. There are a few cards that a phonetics teacher would not have put in there such as "Knapford Station" (which does not make a "k" sound) being a "K" word. There are a few cards that have long vowel sounds, which surprises me, because generally these aren't taught until after a child begins reading words and has accomplished several short vowel word families. It seems like all of the ABC card decks contain these though. When I separate out the above-mentioned cards, this is an excellent pack and I greatly appreciate someone having made it. It has made the difference for us.

I used these cards as part of a behavior plan with one of my students in a preschool for special needs kids. The child was exhibiting some inappropriate behaviors and was not completely responding to positive guidance alone. He is a big fan of trains in general and Thomas in particular. Throughout the day, when the child exhibits appropriate behavior, I stamp each of eight wheels of a choo-choo train coloring page with a bingo marker. At the end of the day, if all wheels are stamped, he receives a Thomas card of his choosing. He get's very excited as he has something tangible to reinforce his best efforts and he is learning the alphabet as well. It's really working! (Of course I continue to use positive guidance in conjunction with this approach to foster understanding of why and how we behave in certain ways i.e., using words instead of hitting.)

Reviews of Hape Rainbow Bead Abacus

Today's Bonus: 15% Off

This is truly a beautifully made toy. The vibrant colors, workmanship, and durability were all evident when I first unwrapped it. My almost 2-year old daughter is still too young for the stated age range (3 yrs and up), but she is still drawn to this toy. She is starting to mimic counting and calling out numbers, so we thought this abacus would be a fun way to reinforce her interest in counting.

I am becoming a big fan of Hape toys because of their use of water-based paints on wood, unlike other toy companies that use chemical-based paints. This is not the type of toy that your child will put in his or her mouth, but I still feel better choosing "safer" toys that my child will be touching. I wanted to give this toy 5 stars, but I noticed from reading the product box that this toy is made in China. I just have to trust that Hape does quality control and that their China factory upholds its environmental standards. But because of the misgivings I felt, I had to knock off 1 star for now.

The program is easy to use, includes engaging topics (even to my 'behind' reader) and its easily organized and not overwhelming.

I purchased this download card from Timeline but it was fulfilled by Amazon. As the title suggests, this is a great value!! A twenty dollar gift card for fourteen bucks. This download card can be used in VTech's Learning Lodge Navigator to purchase additional books for your childs V.Reader. When I redeemed the code online, I noticed it could be used to purchase additional games and books for the Innotab as well. Something I wasn't expecting.

It comes packaged in the same case a V.Reader cartridge would. A bit excessive, but I guess it will come in handy should my son ever damage one of the cases in his current collection. I'm really picky about who I give my credit card info to, so this is a great alternative....and a good deal.

We wanted to get our son something that had a bit of educational value in addition to all the Baku-gan stuff he was asking for. This chem set fit the bill nicely. There are some things that go off right away, like the volcano, and there are others that take some time and patience, like the crystals. I thought some of the instructions could have been a little more thorough and some of the parts feel a bit cheap, but this is an economical chem set that I think most kids (and their parents) would probably enjoy. Another nice thing is that, for the most part, the ingredients are easily replaceable.

The product itself is fine, and worth the price.

However, don't get it from Ramsey's, or any other dealer, that charges shipping. Ramsey's shipping charge was an additional 40% over the $25 price tag of the product. Shop around, and you'll find it for $25 with free shipping.

Unfortunately, I had saved it in my cart for shopping around, and my wife accidentally checked out, not realizing it was only in there as a place holder for comparison shopping. By the time I found out a couple of days later, it had already shipped (to Ramsey's credit, at least they process and ship quickly).

Still, with nearly five weeks of shopping and shipping time, there was no reason to pay for excessive shipping charges.

As this story unfolds, TJ is a bit frightened after going to bed. Earlier in the day, he had seen a action movie with his father, about a bear and a robot.

During the course of TJ telling the story to your child, he actually turns the flashlight on and off during key points of the story. It is unbelievable. So cute-beyond words.
