I decided to go with this keyboard based on the features, the microphone attachment and the cost. My 3 year old niece absolutely loves it...particularly the microphone! Great beginner keyboard for toddlers who are mostly into listening to themselves sing/speak/make monster noises.

Don't expect a fancy keyboard with solid parts and great sound. That's not what you buy this for. You buy this as a cheap toy for your toddler to bang on until they get bored with it. We've had it for about 1 1/2 months, and it hasn't broken so far. The different instrument sounds aren't realistic. The animal sounds aren't realistic. The music it plays is okay--be aware one of the songs is a Christmas song. But for a toddler it's fun. That's all that matters. And it's cheap. Zoe turns it on and smacks it. No broken keys yet. The end.

Buy BeginAgain Earthworms - Red

Customer Ratings:

I bought this toy for my 1 year old son based on recommendations that it was great for teething babies to chew on and manipulate. Unfortunately, my baby is completely uninterested in it, though I think it's super-cute. His 4 year old sister, however, really enjoys twisting it around into different configurations, so it may be that it's a toy that he'll grow into.

I'm impressed by how smooth the caterpillar segments feel in the hands and how easily they can be twisted around, and playing with it seems to be useful in helping my 4 year old get a feel for how 3-dimensional shapes can fit together to fit what she's trying to do -she can quickly make it into a horseshoe shape now, for instance, or make it straight again. I'd definitely recommend this toy, but more for children 2 and up, old enough to be ready to play 'pretend,' rather than the crawl-and-chew stage it's marketed toward.

Review of Toobaloo - Blue; no. LF-TBL01B

Customer Ratings:

As a teacher, I often use these. Some claim that it makes kids better readers, but what it really does it allow the child to hear themselves read. These work really well with my ADD/ADHD students as well as my ESL students. They can hear themselves read and it also helps to block out the sounds in the classroom and readers around them.

A counselor at our child's school recommended this toy to help with his speech development. We bought it without asking his speech therapist, who is a leading speech pathologist at the local university. When we told her about it, she rolled her eyes and said it's unlikely to help with speech development. Having a child hear themselves say something wrong louder won't help correct the speech issues. Just imagine trying to use this to teach yourself a new language. But she said that if he has fun playing phone, then no harm done. Be wary of speech development claims. Our son has had fun playing phone, so it's a good toy at a good price compared to fake cell phones!

This is just what it says it is a booster pack for the original game.

The pieces in the booster pack are slightly different than the original pieces.

They are a different shade of blue on the back, and the board is thinner. Now, my 3-year old does not notice it, I think it would take an adult to figure it out, so it's all good.

The following review of this game was written by Sarah, one of my 4th graders. We use this game in class to help teach about fractions. It is great to help students with equivalent fractions and comparing & ordering fractions. Here is Sarah's review:

Fun with Pizza Fractions is a fun game that we were introduced to in 4th grade. The game is fun to play and teaches us fractions. I can't get enough of it.

There are many ways to play the game (7 to be exact). My favorites are games number 1 and 3. The way to play number 1 is you set all of the fraction pieces in the middle then players take turns taking pieces. When all the pieces are gone, the player who has the most complete pizzas built wins.

The way to play game 3 is players take turns spinning the spinner and they follow the directions given on the spinner. For example, if it lands on 1/4, the player needs to try and find a pizza slice that is 1/4th of the pizza.

One of the things that could be changed is the pizza is TOO realistic. It makes me hungry. Something I like about the game is it helps us with our math.

I would recommend this game for a child in 1st-4th grade or anyone who struggles with fractions.

I've found School Zone workbooks to be useful in introducing various subjects, and to review what my child already knows.

After completing Transition Math K-1, my son breezed through this workbook. Most of the pages contain counting exercises for numbers 0-12 (they had a great way of explaining zero to little kids!), and shape/pattern recognition. The intro to addition and subtraction used pictures to describe the concept.

There was one page about clocks, and a few pages about sequencing and greater/less. At the end of the workbook is a review section of everything that was taught, along with an answer key, and a cute certificate.

The School Zone workbook we are currently using is Time, Money and Fractions.

I'm a mother, trainer, and in-home childcare provider, so I am careful about the educational books I buy for kids because I want to challenge and prepare them for school and life success. I bought this simply because the price was so low and I thought it would be fun for our kids to have another "homework" book to do. I was impressed by the coverage of important math concepts and the way with which they're presented; the price is great, too. For $2, it's worth it.

For all of my kids, I purchase the Comprehensive Curriculum for Preschool (or Kindergarten, 1st grade, etc., depending on their age). It's only $13 and is almost 600 pages of awesome activities that really prepare your child for the next level. I recommend that for the main curriculum and this as a fun activity for your own kids or your childcare's Writing Center.

this is a good sounding drum. I bought this for my husband, who use to play drums, because he was interested in the bodhran. The rim is sturdy, and the skin looks to be in good condition, no thinning in places and it's nice and tight. If the hubby sticks with it, then I'll get him a more expensive drum. But as it stands, this will be a good practice/learner drum.

A lovely drum with a lovely tone. Truly a nice bodhran considering the price range most drums are found in.

Honest reviews on Trophy Bodhran 14 in

I purachased this bodhran AFTER I had purchased a larger 18 inch drum and was having problems as a beginner, holding the larger drum properly as I'm a small female. I had a death grip on the larger drum, so much so that I was causing bruises on my inner forearm from the drum rim. That being said, I bought the smaller 14 inch drum and the fit is MUCH better!

This a a nice little drum, although on arrival the drum head was so incredibly tight and thin that I was afraid it would tear and the sound was horrid!!! In all fairness, it arrived in the dead of summer, very low humidity and I feel quite sure that contributed to the tension and tinniness of the drum.

I let the drum acclimate a bit indoors, and then applied a few sprits of water to the inside of the drum head, waited awhile and it seemed to improve a bit. Since I didn't want to keep applying water to the head, I gave it a bit of drum conditioner on the inside of the skin, let it soak in and wiped off the excess and now it is quite a bit softer, more flexible and has a deeper more resonate sound.

The tipper that came with the drum, for me was pretty useless, very short and heavily weighted on the ends. While I find some weight to the ends of the tipper helpful while playing, this one was too short to maneuver easily, so I merely used one I had on hand.

I'd definitely recommend this for anyone entertaining the idea of learning to play. Great price,(not horridly expensive if you later change your mind about learning to play or lose interest) fast shipping, hopedully your drum won't encounter the problems I had and the tipper will be prefect for you. Nice drum to just hang on the wall for decoration if you're into that, but what's the fun in that! :)

I am a bodhran player with more expensive drums. I purchased this one two years ago (when it was half this price), and it is my favorite. The head is supple with a nice tone. The tipper that accompanies it is also very nice: lighter and smaller than other tippers, so it's easier for smaller hands and longer playing with less hand fatigue. The frame is also lighter than other frames, which again lends itself to less playing fatigue. I highly recommend this drum as an excellent first drum. But again, I have been playing for several years and have other drums, and this one is my favorite. Mine came without a lot of hair. It was sans the decorative band, but I prefer it without it, anyway. I would definitely buy this again and probably will in the future.

4M Solar System Planetarium Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This solar system model was almost perfect for our needs. My 3rd grader had to build a solar system model for school. My work schedule that week would have left us without enough time to complete the project using the "household items" instructions sent home to build it. This model was easy and fun for my daughter to put together with her dad and brother's help one weekend while I worked. The model was the perfect size also. It was small enough to be carried to school easily and would not take up too much room at her desk, yet large enough to be able to see the details of the model.

The only problem we had with it was that it did not include Pluto (I guess since pluto's not considered a planet anymore). Her instructions for the project stated that she must include pluto, so we used a pipe cleaner and a small bead to add pluto. I would like to have been able to choose a kit that had an option to add or leave out pluto. I looked through all of the models you had to offer, and the ones that appeared to include pluto were either too large or too expensive for such a project.

The shipping costs were a little steep since I needed to get it pretty quick. That much for shipping would have stopped me from ordering it if I had had more time for building one.

By the way my daughter said that her teacher was very pleased with her model and had asked where she got it. My daughter told her amazon.com.

Thanks,

You know I almost did not buy this because of the reviews for everyone. First let me say that this is NOT a toy. This is not something to be played with like you would a car or Barbie. This is an education toy that sits and waits till you need to use it for school. this is what I bought it for and this is what it was manufactured for.

Second, the parts are smaller then I thought they would be, BUT, not so small that my 8 year old could not handle it. I do recommend you use your own paint brushes. You know how these children kits are, the brush is so huge that there is no way you can do any detail work. I happen to have a brush set for my child and we just used that.

Lastly, I think this was well worth the money. We were going to put together one of those Styrofoam ball solar systems, but this is WAY better! It is not hanging from my ceiling and it comes to the table every Tuesday and Friday when we learn about our solar system. Even my 5 year old is starting to understand the solar system and this educational toy has been a great help in learning about rotate and revolve.

I highly recommend you give this a try, especially if you are a home educator or a parent who just wants to spend some time with your kids learning about the solar system. For the price, really what do you have to loose but a little time having fun painting it and putting it together with your children!?!?!

My daughter is in first grade. We were in the process of moving into a new home, but she still wanted to enter the Science Fair at her school. I didn't want to do anything too stressful, the move was stressful enough. So we decided to do research on why Pluto is no longer considered a planet. Easy, simple.

This model was the perfect visual aid. It was easy to assemble, and it's a lot of fun for her to manually rotate the planets around the sun now that it is complete. Our only problem was that the portions of paint provided were very small. Certain colors (brown and orange) are not included, and when we mixed them using other colors... we wasted too much and ended up with not enough yellow in the end.

Great product, especially for such a low price. Just be careful. Don't waste the paint!

Reviews of Red Fox Skull (Natural Bone Quality A)

I ordered this a while back and lo and behold I find out that what I THOUGHT was perhaps just a juvenile fox was really a grey fox skull. An entirely different species. I am extremely dissatisfied that such a mistake could be made, even the label that came with it describes it as a red fox. However, the skull is of a high quality and great for educational and

display purposed.

Despite my initial issue with the wrong product being sent, the customer service was phenomenal and the issue was resolved as the correct skull was sent to me instead.

Transformers Trans-Portable Activity Center Review

Customer Ratings:

Unfortunately, I got this item for my son who was turning 8, thinking that it would have the kind of games that would help him build more skills. Not the case. All of the games on here do not TEACH anythingthey are merely games that review skills like addition, subtraction, and spelling. As a side note, the seller I bought this from was selling this item used and it didn't come with instructions. While I would've saved time if I'd had them, the toy was fairly easy to figure out. My son DOES still enjoy playing with this, but I think that's more because we don't often let him use electronics, so this is something of a novelty for himand he loves Transformers, of course! The bottom line is that I don't think this game will hold the attention of most kids over the age of six or seven, but kids younger than that won't really be able to play these games on their own without an adult nearby to help. Although the idea was a good one, in reality I don't think it's all that good. I wouldn't really recommend this.

I had been looking around for a large scale model of the Saturn V rocket since taking a day trip to the Air and Space Museum out at Dulles Airport. Initially, all the models I came across online were single piece wooden models that were only about a foot and half tall and not very detailed. A week into searching, I came across the 4D model. Had to wait almost 2 months for them to come back in stock, but WOW was it worth the weight. Dont let the piece count fool you, it went together in about 2 hours with only minor assembly issues. Despite what the instructions say, you WILL need a little styrene glue for some of the smaller pieces that arent meant to come off, especially the little red pieces that attach to the stage 1 engines. Beyond that, it went together like a dream. And the size....I know it says 43 inches on the box, but that doesnt really prepare you for the magnitude of the thing once its together. And whats best is that the transparent panels are only on one side, so if you just want to see the solid rocket, just rotate it around. Well worth the price and the wait.

I recently purchased this model as I was intrigued by having a cut-away model of a Saturn V. I was rather impressed with the construction of the model and how it goes together. The engineering in the way the lunar lander goes together is brilliant. Though the model makes a nice showpiece and I'm glad of the purchase there are a few flaws in the model that made me deduct 2 stars from the review.

1. Accuracy The SIVB (third) stage of the Famemaster Saturn V is corrugated throughout its entire length instead of just on the top and bottom rings of the Original Saturn V. this is not as apparent on the cut-away side but is very noticeable on the solid side. This is a glaring error and would have been very easy to correct as the center piece of the SIVB is a separate piece. They could have easily remanufactured this piece as smooth instead of corrugated and fixed the problem. I'm tempted to write them and see if I could get a replacement piece that I could experiment on sanding down until its smooth.

2. Painting Quality Control. Though the overall paint job on the model is pretty good there are some really back black over sprays on the black roll pattern markings. I was able to touch up the most glaring of them with some white paint but I'll really have to spend some time to clean it all up. I also had a command module which had been painted too heavily and had the paint sag in a ring about the base. This was combined with a ding in the shell where it had attached to the sprue. This was fixed with some putty, sanding and a new coat of paint but I feel I should not have had to do this work on $300 model.

All in all this is a fair model of a Saturn V that really could be stunning if the manufacturer fixed the issue with the SIVB and had some better quality control on the painting of the model.

I completed this model without too much difficulty. Parts fit with precision. The difficulty and assembly will be the positioning of the fuel tank ends. Be sure and do a trial fit of the transfer tubes through all of the holes in the tube's before you glue them into the tank tabs. I Fit them and Marked then put a couple of small spots of crazy glue and secured the tank ends to one half of the exterior shell and place them together and double checked with the Dowell to ensure the plastic transfer tubes would fit from top to bottom final ruling.

The other thing is the assembly of the LEM is like putting together a Lego, the parts fit together with precision, but they could have molded the main body in one piece and save a lot of time. I guess they did in thesis because of the colors required.

As with dragons other models. The basis are usually much too flimsy for the models. I always make a base of would, usually red Oak. Red Oak. Another woulds can be bought at Home Depot or Lowe's by the foot.
