Review of Musical Toys MP482 Ocean Wave Drum

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I bought this toy for my baby when she was about 5 months old. She learned very quickly that she could use it as a drum or shaker to make noise. She's now 16 months old and she still likes to play with this toy. It's educational, fun, durable (she's stepped/stood on it numerous times) and you will get your moneys worth.

These drums are fun for all ages. My toddler and my infant son fight over this constantly. They love to bang on and shake it. I will say this is very durable, as many times as I have to yell "Don't step on the drum" lol its held it's own in our house. I even catch my husband playing it. I would highly recommend this for your music set or just for fun.

This is my son's second favorite chew. (He prefers the P-shaped chew.) I would give this one five stars, but it can be used as a whistle by very curious kids, and is therefore a little annoying at times. :) Otherwise, great product.

I bought this chewey for one of my students who was chewing up all the pencils in the room. He really likes it because it's not too hard and it provides lots of oral input. The downside is that it whistles and can be disruptive during class time and it's super slobbery. I'm off to find a new one that is not hollow and collects saliva like a trumpet.

Of all of the Christmas presents for my 8 month old, this is his favorite. He's teething and will chew on this for 30 minutes at a time. It is smaller than I expected. It is the size of my palm, not my whole hand. It is easy for my baby (with low muscle tone) to hold on to this and yet it is big enough that he can't gag himself with it as he does some other toys. He enjoys picking at the nubs on the handle. A really great product!

LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Star Wars - Jedi Math Reviews

LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Star Wars - Jedi Math

My 7 year old son loves Star Wars The Clone Wars, so I knew he would like this.

The best thing about the game is the questions get more difficult as the player advances within the chosen level. So, though it may start with single digit number recognition, it advances to double digit number recognition. It may start with asking about general time of day, but then advances to specific time of day and then to reading time on a digital clock.

I recommend this game for pre-K through second grade.

A more detailed description is presented below.

______________________________________________

SPACE

Shoot the correct number to get to navigate through space to get to the ship where the prisoner is held.

Level 1: features recognition of numbers 1 through 10.

Level 2: features subtraction of single digit numbers.

Level 3: features addition of a two digit number with a single digit number.

THE SHIP

To get through the rooms, answer questions about time.

Level 1: questions feature time of day, like when do you usually leave for school (morning, afternoon, evening)?

Level 2: learn how to read time on an analogue clock to the hour.

Level 3: learn to read time on an analogue clock to the half hour.

LIGHTSABER DUEL

Answer the math questions quickly and Skywalker attacks. Answer incorrectly and the enemy attacks. The faster the player answers, the more power they get for their attack.

I purchased this for my 7-year-old son's Leapster ahead of a long road trip. He ejoyed it that day, but returning home I found he was rarely willing to play with it during his free time (losing out to Legos and PS2 Lego Star Wars). I decided to set acheivement goals on Jedi Math as a condition of other play. Unfortunately, Jedi Math isn't particularly suitable for this use. Certainly, "saving a prisoner" is a nice discrete goal (takes 15-30 minutes, and this accomplishment is verifiable in the user stats). However, the difficulty level is entirely selectable (the child can choose a level that is not challenging). Further, while the game emphasizes fast math calculations, there appears to be no penalty for either pausing the game to count on fingers or asking for the solution via the "hint" button. My son quickly discovered both strategies. There is a "math level" that is tracked in the user stats, but the instructions don't describe how this is calculated. That is, what skill set does a particular math level correspond to?

The newer Leapster2 can upload data to leapfrog.com's "learning path". Supposedly, this allows you to track your child's learning, so my objections might not be valid in the context of a Leapster2. But with the Leapster, unless your child is particularly enthralled by this game, using it as a teaching tool is awkward.

I chose 4 stars instead of 5 because the balls just didn't last very long. My grand daughter really wanted this for Christmas so of course, I obliged her. She told me she had a really good time making them and playing with them for awhile but then they began to fall apart. The price was really reasonable so I might buy them again just for the fun of it. Hopefully, they will be designed to last longer, eventually.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Just received it, and love the fit and feel of this item. Gives a good grip. Very thick gel material. A little over 1mm thick. This is not a blue gel skin as advertised. In fact it is turquoise. I was prepared that it will not look blue based on all the reviews. Still was surprised that it is no way close to as pictured. I've decided to upload some pictures of the actual item incase you want to know what it looks like, however Amazon won't let me upload my image. For now, the best color to show you is this item. Look at the greenish/blueish label on the bottle that says Seven Seas. Kraft Seven Seas Green Goddess Dressing, 16-Ounce Plastic Bottles (Pack of 6) Please vote if my review helps. Thanks!

From the picture it looks like the Gel Skin is deep blue, but when it arrived I found it more aqua. I really don't like the color, it seems to clash with the green LeapPad2; but my son doesn't care, and it fits the LeapPad2 like a glove.

I was a bit hesitant to order this because it says it fits both the LeapPad and LeapPad 2; I wondered if I was buying the one for the original LeapPad, which also fits the LeapPad2, but not perfectly (which is what we previously had been using). I checked LeapFrog's website before ordering and just hoped it was the right one it was! This Gel Skin lines up perfectly with the LeapPad2.

Overall I'm quite happy with it, though I probably should have purchased the green one. I feel my son's LeapPad is well protected. I definitely recommend one of these if you own this tablet.

I wish I would have ordered the green one, I don't like the color it's more green than it is blue but it's not even a nice green. But it still works just the same and fits the leappad2 great. I don't think my 3 year old son will care about the color when he opens it Christmas morning.

Just ordered this for my son because his favorite color is blue and like the other reviewer stated the picture looks deep blue, but it is an aqua color. I ordered the green for my other son (I wanted 2 different colors so they could easily tell which one was theirs) and I don't want purple, so we will keep it, but wish it was blue.

The magnets are too weak. When used on an easel, some of the letters won't stay upright. The magnet pulls them around until they hang side-ways or upside down. Not pleased. Will sell them at our next garage sale for next to nothing. Note, the letters are also small. I knew this, but still was thinking they'd be bigger.

This is a great set, a really fantastic learning tool, but I found that we really needed two sets to make more than very simple words.

I have twins and got them the my friend Emily and this one. Both of them were more attracted to this one. They really really loved it since they were 3 month old... The first thing that attracted them was the crinkly sound of the skirt and the black and white lining underneath it. Now that they are teething every part of Sophie gets chewed on and there is a lot of variety with the ring, the hair, her crown, the link, feet... The BIG downside: Like all Lamaze gym toys Sophie is surface wash only. I like to wash toys before giving them to my babies and even though I skipped it on this one, by now especially with all the chewing it is time for Sophie to take a bath. I will try gentle and cold but expect the ring to break since this seems to be the only low quality part of Sophie. So in the end it is a great toy if you would ask my girls but because it's not a keeper i only give 3 stars. A BABY TOY HAS TO BE WASHABLE from my point of view.

This "toy" was actually part of a much larger science project. The project dealt with how the human eye sees color as performed by a computer. The human eye was the baseline and part of the exhibit displayed how the human eye works. This toy, which should actually be called a model, did the job perfectly at a reasonable price.

My son needed this for a science project, and it really brings the innards of the eye "to life" for a young person. The cross-section of the eye really does help explain how the eye works, and the incredible complexity of this organ. Recommended. RJB.

I had to buy three toys similar toys so the kids wouldn't fight over them. This is one of those toys that they go back to repeatedly and is interesting enough to keep their attention for a half hour or so.

The voice can get irritating to adults after awhile (particularly when three are talking at once), but not as bad as some other toys.

Good for teaching colors, music, shapes, and sequencing memory. You flip the knob on the left and the robot does something different like show you how to play a song.

I recommend removing it from it's container (not easy) and replacing the batteries. The batteries on one of my purchases went dead before I took it out of the box.

Our 18 month old kept grabbing his big brother's Alphie, but we had to hide the cards that go with that one so he wouldn't destroy them. He also loves music, so we decided to get him this toy so he could have his own robot to carry around, and its perfect. He can't take advantage of all the educational aspects yet at his age, but he loves this toy and can grow with it. It is smaller than the original Alphie, which was good for us, but be aware if that will be disappointing for you.

I am SO suprised on how great this toy is! At first i didnt know all of the functions so i thought it was just another annoying toy that my daughter could torture me with, but now that i have actually sat down and investigated the toy it is really quite awesome. The eyes move with a little knob on the side of its head to reveal music to play with a "match the colors". It teaches kids 3 songs to play, colors, shapes, and has different instrument modes and a "repeat" button on the top of the head. Definitly a toy i feel great about my daughter playing with even though it's loud. A+

My mother-in-law bought my 4 year old the iXL for his birthday and this was one of the games we bought him for it. He loves the iXL and this game. One of the games is a matching game that gets progressively more difficult and I enjoy it too!! :) It provided a good learning experience, teaching him to be methodical rather than just randomly opening boxes. He also likes the game where Shrek runs and you make him jump and add letters to form a word. At this point it is teaching him letter recognition and he will be able to progress to purposely picking the correct letter to spell out the word.

Kudos to Amazon for making Christmas Shopping so easy!

I purchased Shrek and Batman along with the IXL Learning System for my 4 yr old Granddaughter for Christmas. She is in a Batman phase right now, so wasn't sure how she would feel about the Shrek game, simply because of her love for Batman, even tho she loves Shrek. Well, Shrek also gets his fair share of play time on the IXL, she gets so absorbed in the game & will suddenly laugh out loud about something on the game in her own little world. Plenty of fun, but learning concepts as well.

Great Purchase!
