Best Leapfrog Learning Baby Tad Deals

Customer Ratings:

I love the daytime and nighttime options. It makes a great transition tool for trying to wean my son because while nursing at night, I would play the nighttime music until he would fall asleep. Now, I can just play the music and he can fall asleep without me having to nurse him. I know when he wakes up in the morning because I can hear him playing with Tad in his crib, and I can get him before he gets upset and starts to cry. Very happy baby and mommy!

10th Anniversary Hug & Learn Baby Tad is both education, fun and not to mention affordable. Baby tad is recommended for children six months and up, though you may find yourself playing with it. The toy is soft and cuddly, so it makes a great toy to snuggle up with. Baby tad is light weight and easy to carry. There are no sharp edges on him like some education toys.

Press the right foot that reads clap and he identifies feet. ("We have two feet"). Press his right paw and he counts. Press his right foot that says "dance" and he says dance with me and sings songs your toddler can dance along to. Press his left hand and he identifies hands. "I have two hands just like you." Press the sun on his belly and the sun lights up and he sings a sunshine song. Press his belly and he giggles and identifies his belly. Press his belly again and he sings the alphabet. Press the moon and he switches from day to night. Sooth your baby to sleep with songs like "Twinkle Twinkle little star."

When your child no longer plays with "Baby tab" he will say Bye-bye and automatically shut-off to save your battery. The toy is a great size for hugging and playing. I found Hug and Learn Baby Tad engaging and would highly recommend it to those with children eight months and up. Leap frog recommends this product for those six months and up. A baby at six months may have trouble pushing some of the buttons.

Best Deals for Leapfrog Learning Baby Tad

Bought this toy for my 6 month old from target.

He's loud enough to distract any crying baby during a meltdown in the store. When you press his chest then his hand you he plays 'night-night' music starting with a woman singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and then goes to classical music. You press his hand once, 'five minutes to night-night', you press again 'ten minutes to night-night'. Which worked so great on the car rides home from dinner at grandma's house. My husband is deployed so there wasn't anyone to keep him company in the back, and with tad he was usually always fast asleep within minutes. He sings songs about toes and clapping hands as well. Changing from clapping hands between once or five times, like a surprise every time you press his hand. He laughs and dances. My son likes to bite on tads 'ear?' while he teethes. He's soft and you can't feel the battery box like some toys since this one is in the back with lots of padding.

cons: the only things I didn't like was how he can seem loud a times(no volume dial) when you just need him a little more quiet. His belly is so low that it seems like they labeled his crotch, 'belly' which i understand kids don't know any different at their age, but its still funny/strange to adults. Also, sometimes it's a little hard to press on a button because of all the padding (on hands/foot/belly/chest). Which is better I guess if I had to choose between durability/comfort (to not feel battery pack) and ease of use.

All in all, even my son is still not able to press the buttons with all the padding I still like this toy. There hasn't been an outing yet that hasn't saved me from those in-store meltdowns. I'm pretty sure its less stressful on everyone (child, parent, and strangers) have a loud toys rather than an unhappy little one.

I recommend you get this toy for anyone who's trying to keep outings as smooth as possible. It even distracted my 3 month old nephew from crying!

Honest reviews on Leapfrog Learning Baby Tad

I had purchased several of the original Baby Tads as shower gifts over the years with rave reviews from the parents especially as part of a night-time or nap routine. When we were expecting, these had been discontinued but I was able to locate a French version. We were excited to see that there was a new English version available and quickly ordered it looking forward to the longer "minutes to night-night". Unfortunately, the music on the new tad starts with a song that has lyrics instead of just calming classical music and I don't believe the quality of the sound is the same. At this point, original Baby Tad (en francais) is used regularly and the new Tad is sitting on the sideline.

This is not nearly as nice or as educational as the old Baby Tad. The variety isn't there and there is no "off" button, and it doesn't give kisses, which my first son loved.

I purchased two of these nets, one each for my 3.5-year-old and 1.5-year-old, and they love it! At just under 24" total length, it's long enough for the kids to reach up (fairly) high to catch insects, but not so long as to make it unwieldy, even for my 1.5-year-old. As with all Melissa and Doug products, it seems very well-made and sturdy and the cute, colorful design is an added bonus. Very pleased with purchase!

This is a very sturdy net that can capture bugs but also fish in tide pools, etc. My grandkids love it. She carries it around everywhere and wants to capture everything. She lives by the ocean and tidepools are her favorite to go "fishing" as she describes this activity. It's colorful and cute. This was a real plus.

It's hard to see the bugs through the colored mesh. White mesh would be better.

Review of Mexico Geography Placemat

Customer Ratings:

Highly recommended product. The placemat is thickly laminated for multiple use. The front side of the placemat shows a map of Mexico's 32 mainland states with graphics that demonstrate Mexico's culture and include over 60 words in Spanish. The back of the placemat has many phrases in Spanish and English as well as how to count to 100 in Spanish. You can even color this placemat with a dry erase marker for added fun.

My mama has always given me cool placements, so I am carrying on the tradition with kids that cross my path. We sent this placement to some kids far from their family so that they could place them geographically from an early age. Once we saw them, we decided to order some for ourselves! Very well made and bright and even better than the picture shows!

Cheap Spyglass Telescope (Hand Held Telescope) with Wood Gift Box

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $77.45
Sale Price: $49.61
Today's Bonus: 36% Off

(#1 REVIEWER)

The Bael Decor 16" hand held telescope is of limited value as a telescope but is quite an attractive piece for a nautical themed decor or as an accent piece in your home. It is largely brass construction with stitched leather accents.

Collapsed, the telescope is about 6.25 inches in length and when fully extended is 16 inches long.

As a telescope it is not too useful. I notice quite a bit of distortion around the perimeter of the lens. The field of view is very narrow. This type of telescope is focused by manually moving the eyepiece in or out of the barrel. And people with glasses will have a more difficult time trying to use it.

As an accent piece, it is quite nice. The rosewood box that is used for storing the telescope is quite attractive and has a felt lining on the top and bottom.

I was provided a complimentary sample for testing and review. If you have any questions about the telescope please leave me a comment and I'd be happy to try to answer.

9-piece Fruit Basket Set (Soft) Review

Customer Ratings:

Lovely soft colorful fruit pieces and a basket to store or tote them around in. The banana can be "peeled" halfway. I love that my youngest child can finally play with some toy food and I don't have to worry so much about him choking on them. I expect them to last longer than those plastic air-filled foods that these are replacing.

Easy to clean and wash, we can pretend to eat it as much as we want and it fits great into the play pots/pans in my daughter's play kitchen. The fact that they are fabric makes it easy to squish them into things for "cooking".

This fruit basket set is a lot of fun, especially for younger children. The pieces are large enough to be safe for toddlers, and are easily integrated with other toys and games for food learning and fun. My daughter enjoys them and feeds her other toys with the fruit! She also loves hanging the basket off her arm and walking around with her basket.

Honest reviews on 9-piece Fruit Basket Set (Soft)

I got very excited about this set when I saw it online because we want our daughter to learn about healthy eating habits, and thought this would be a fun companion to her shopping cart. When the items arrived, I discovered that the pieces are much smaller than I expected, and that the age rating for the product is 3+ years. I ended up putting about half of the pieces away as possible choking hazards for our one year old. The fruits are super cute, as well as the little basket, and I hope she will grow into them when she is a little older and ready to engage in creative/kitchen play. I don't recommend this for under 2 years old, though...

Discount Rhino Toys 6-Inch Oball Rattle

Customer Ratings:

Our first Oball, the 4" rattle version, has remained attached to my kids car seat ever since, a staple of his drive to daycare. I got this one because I wanted a bigger version that would give him more activity in the living room. It has worked great. I love that the open structure of the ball lets him grab this big toy even with his little fingers. He loves the rattle and shakes it incessantly (decide if this is a pro or con for you, I like it). I liked it so much I bought extras for his daycare class and will probably keep getting this style toy for him as he grows. Enjoy.

As the other reviewer stated, this is not a magnetic card frame its literally just a frame. I bought it to use on my white board but just found out my white board is actually NOT magnetic! So check your boards first! If I had known I would have probably bought the other magnetic answer card frames instead. All in all its a good product. I wont return it since my kids like to play/learn with it on the dish washer (our only magnetic surface around the house). I do think, 19.99 is a bit overpriced.

Best Deals for Learning Resources Giant Magnetic Ten-Frame Set (LER6644)

The product photo is a bit misleading. From the photo, I was expecting a magnetic black ten-frame on a white board, which I can then use on a desk. Instead, you get four magnetic sheets. You have to punch out the color disks and their surrounding square from the ten-frame. The ten-frame is a good size and easy to manipulate. But, you will need a magnetic white board. Probably a great product for schools, but not for home use, unless you have a magnetic white board.

Discount Fascinations Antworks Illuminated with Green

Customer Ratings:

I got htis for my 2 year old girl who was facinated by ants outside. The gel is perfect since they can drop the ants and all is well. The top is secure and they can get it off )at least the little kids). She has dropped it really hard and it cracked but only visibly, you cant feel the crack and the unit is still just fine. She loves to carry it around with her and watches it constantly. Perfect gift!!! I ordered from life studies.com and ordered the ants for $5 at the same time, they came very quickly and all alive. I think if you ordered separately it would take forever and the kids would have to wait. They start tunneling within a day or so and is really cool to watch.

After reading numerous reviews on all the ant farms out there, I decided on this green Antworks farm. I'm so glad I did! I picked the color green because it is my son's favorite color-got it for our 9 year old son for Christmas and after only 5 days, the ants have connected some tunnels and are very active. We keep it on our kitchen counter because everyone in the household is interested in watching them. The LED light is great and makes it easier to see the activity and the ants-I would definitely recommend it even though it cost more for the light. I ordered the ants through Antsalive-they had an option for the ants to arrive a little before Christmas or a little after. I picked after and they arrived just 3 or 4 days after Christmas in a tube, all alive. It has been a great, educational experience. It is smaller than the large sand antfarm my brothers had when I was growing up. But I really like the gel instead of sand and my son doesn't know the difference. He is so proud of it and likes to show it off-he thinks it is "so cool!". It has more of a curved futuristic look to it, you can see the ants from all sides and through the top. I would like to get the Antworks multiple farms that connect together, now that I know first hand how great a product it is.

We loved the gel ant farm! It was so much fun for adults and children alike to watch as the ants began digging within the first 24 hours and making connections from tunnel to tunnel throughout the week. Even now that the are done "building", it is still fun to watch them moving throughout the tunnels. I would highly recommend this to anyone -young or old. It is especially neat to watch at night as the underlying lights illuminate the whole thing and make it fun to watch both day and night.

Honest reviews on Fascinations Antworks Illuminated with Green

This is a fun toy with a great learning experience. It is more difficult to work than a older child can usually do. Our kit came with older dried

"green ingredients" that we worked around. The bottom had caked so there was a gap where the ants seemed to make a easy home instead of tunneling.

Even with all this (and i would hope yours came with softer and newer ingredients) it was a great learning experience and something for the whole family to watch. It has been 4 months now and we are still watching these smart little creatures work and exist but will let them go in a few weeks to make a new home in the wild.

I was a little hesitant to get this for my 7 year old, but after reading the reviews I was convinced to give it a try. This has been a delight to watch for the whole family. We have been taking pictures of the ants progress and watching them work. It is so amazing. It has been 5 days and they have built through out the whole farm already. Although the harvester ants do sting....you will not need to come in contact with them. When we ordered the ants, they came in a vile and they were practically frozen and they weren't moving. So we waited for them to start wiggling around a bit and then dumped them in. The lid is air tight and it is very hard to get the lid open. I doubt my son could get it open. Not that he even wants to. Everyone should do this at least once in their childs life. It is truly fascinating....

Eureka Dr. Seuss's Giant Cat In The Hat Bulletin Board Set, 4 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

When we bought this product I thought that it was a Cat in the Hat bulletin board. Instead it was just a poster that you can put on a bulletin board. Overall it looks great in my sons playroom but I was a bit mislead by the description.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Very disappointed with the Cat in the Hat 5 foot poster. Came in four sections that had to be taped together to assemble the full poster and that detracted from the look. The poster was made of a light weight paper material which was not sturdy enough for the poster to stand upright. Again, had to use more tape to adhere it to the wall. Not as advertised, and much too expensive for a paper poster.

As another reviewer previously noted, the description of this item is misleading. It is not a "bulletin board." Rather, it is essentially four pieces of poster board material that you have to piece together in whatever fashion serves your purpose. Knowing that, I ordered it, hoping to laminate it and put it on my daughter's playroom wall, but the lamination is going to be about twice the price of the item itself, and that seems a bit ridiculous to me. I then thought about boarding the back of it, but that's even more expensive. This is a cute item for a classroom wall or somewhere that will not cause it to be subject to constant touching. However, I would not recommend this for any high traffic area.

We purchased this for a Dr Seuss themed party. The figure comes in 4 poster board panels and is perforated along it's edges. It is made of sturdier material than paper, but not as thick as cardboard.

I'm guessing, based on the advertising, that the item was not intended to be a stand alone figure, and that it was made for classroom bulletin boards. For our use, we wanted this to be a stand alone figure. So we needed to get it to stand up, and we needed to make it sturdier. For this figure to stand on it's own, it needs some kind of backing. The 4 panels need to be taped together to assemble it. This is my only criticism really. I would have expected it to come with interlocking tabs, or even adhesive backing to better adhere the panels together. But overall, that wasn't a deterrent as you can really easily just tape it yourself. Once assembled, the figure stands around 5' tall. We acutally used the packing box that it arrived in as our backing. We just cut a long rectangular panel from the packing box and taped it to the back of the figure to make it a little sturdier. It was a big hit at our party.

We bought this for our 4 1/2-year old son and we live in MA. There is one button (unlabeled) for CT/MA/RI/NH/VT. At least Maine got its own button. Ridiculous. How am I supposed to educate my son about where we live when every time he asks "Where's this?" for New England locations, I have to point to the same button???

Also, the white letters on each state are applied cheaply. California was already peeling off when we pulled it out of the box.

The fact that it's a puzzle really helps our kids learn the locations of each state. The manufacturer must have already fixed the mispronunciation that one reviewer had in theirs because the sound effects in ours are clear and correctly pronounced. This is really a cool toy to help our grade schoolers get a jump on their education, which if you ask me, is a wonderful perk in any toy! I love that all the pieces store in the drawer too.
