Best Flashy Fish Sparkle Stickers; 72 Stickers; no. T-63046 Deals

Customer Ratings:

These stickers are very cute and sparkly and I love them! The colors are vibrant and they stick very well. I wanted them in my bathroom and although the steam and water around my shower makes them fall off every once in a while, I don't much mind that as I somewhat expected it. It sticks very well on dry walls and wallpaper, even wood finishes, actually just about everywhere. It even sticks pretty decent on my tiles in the bathroom! You get two strips in a pack, and that's about 72 stickers. I was hoping they would be a little larger though because one sticker is just about half an inch big. Overall, I am very pleased and would definitely recommend for some cheap sparkling fun!

Review of LeapFrog LeapReader Book: Get Ready for Kindergarten (works

Customer Ratings:

I think my four-year-old will learn some good things from this book. For those wanting to know exactly what is inside here's the run-down.

The first page is for learning the alphabet and the sound of each letter.

One page has an activity to complete a pattern.

Another page asks the child to identify blend sounds like "br" and "st" by finding pictures of words that begin with those sounds as well as by touching the letter combinations.

One page has two monsters and groups of different numbers of candies (1-9). The child needs to identify the numbers and do simple addition.

The child can learn about the seasons and months of the year on another page.

Another page has dinosaurs on it. The child can hear the names slowly pronounced and learn which are carnivores and herbivores.

The last page has five pictures depicting sad, scared, angry, silly and happy. The child hears a short clip of music and is asked to choose the emotion the music sounds like. They can also make their own music by selecting the emotion and then clicking on five different instruments.

There may be a page or two I have forgotten or games I haven't heard my daughter play, but I don't have the book in front of me. My daughter has only had this book for a week and she has played with it for at least 30-40 minutes every day.

I admit it I bought this because the cover was so colorful and engaging, that I thought even if my 2 year old was way too young for the content, we could still have some fun exploring the pictures until she is more advanced. I'm glad I did. Even though there are definitely many elements in this book which are beyond a 2 year old's abilities, the Leapfrog system itself operates under so many levels that it can actually be tailored for a much younger child's exploration. At one level (the youngest ability level), she can just play with exploring the names and sounds of the illustrations (very basic). The games and activities for older children seem very engaging covering a wide range of topics:

Activity 1: A two page spread of a refridgerator with an illustration for each letter of the alphabet and you help the narrator find items ("Hmm, I would like a sandwich. Please help me find something to put on it.") with great positive reinforcement.

Activity 2: A two page "vowel show" with really adorable illustrations, focusing on the vowel sounds in context.

Activity 3: The word circus -an exploration of letters and words again, with great, vibrant illustrations

Activity 4: Consanat Blend Galary -haven't played with this one at all, but on the left side of the page you see a painter with an easel and the paint colors each have consant blends ("sw," "tr," "br," etc.) and on the right side of the 2-page spread there are 20 of his "paintings."

Activity 5: A two page spread story about a special lunch, with Leap (the frog) as the main character and involves some math skills as we count the items he eats.

Activity 6: Pattern Palace -a very creative way to work with young children's ability to understand pattern development.

Activity 7: Skip counting featuring 50 numbered birds and questions to guide your child through counting games. My toddler is too young for this, but enjoys just clicking on each bird to hear its number and sound effects.

Activity 8: Monster mathematics -very realistic illustrations of candy (8 candy canes, 5 chocolates, 2 candy corns, etc.) and the monster makes great "munching" sounds as you help him pick the right quantity/etc.

Activity 9: Months and Seasons (haven't tried yet, will update)

Activity 10: Party months (haven't tried yet, will update)

Activity 11: My community -two page spread of a town with key buildings (hospital, fire station, barber shop, cinema, post office, police, zoo, supermarket, ice cream shop) with descriptions/songs/etc. Great page!

Activity 12: Dinorsaur class photo -adorable pictures of various, detailed dinosaurs with fun facts and sounds. Definitely lots of content here (and dinosaurs I have never heard of!)

Activity 13: Feelings funhouse: an exporation of feelings through music and illustrations. Great idea, but the illustrations on this one are not as great as the other pages.

I think a bright 3 year old would get A LOT out of this. And because it's not a long story, it can be used in short bursts just flipping through the pages or doing one page here, one page there. I really do recommend this highly.

I love this book and all the different skills it teaches. I hope they make more for the other grades. I will list the activities:

ABC SNACK TIME: Alphabet in the fridge w/corresponding food or item above it. Example H has 3 hot dogs in hats above the letter. Game will tell you to find the letter 'k', or find the pizza, or find the letter that makes the 'lllll' sound.

THE VOWEL SHOW: The vowels are listed. Below are some simple words like wig, bat, lips, etc with a picture of what is word is. Game will say find the vowel that makes the 'aaaaa' sound. Or find three words that have the sound 'aaaa' in it, like cat. If you find the three words it makes a silly sentence out of them.

WORD CIRCUS: Small words like pig, wig, fox, box. Games focus on finding beginning sound, rhyming and spelling the simple words. (This game reminds me of the Leapfrog flash cards)

CONSONANT BLEND GALLERY teaches some blends, like 'sk', 'gr', 'cl', etc. Has pictures that begin w/the blends and the game will instruct you to find a picture that starts with one of the various blends. As I am using this as an ESL tool also, this game annoys me with the goofy french accent, which my son has some problems understanding.

THE SPECIAL LUNCH: This is a simple written story, with an occasional picture thrown in to represent a noun, rather than having the written word. So it goes, "Leap made himself a (picture of a sandwich)." Later, it will ask you questions about what the story was about, like "Who did Leap make a sandwich for?"

PATTERN PLACE: A picture of a park with a guy driving blowing a horn, boy playing drums....and then the game will give you a sequence of noises to repeat. The second page has deals with shapes and completing patterns using sequence.

SKIP COUNTING A tree of birds with numbers on their bellies. Count by ones first, then later by 10's and some other variations.

MONSTER MATHEMATICS Piles of different candy in different amounts. Find who has more 1 marsh mallow or 2 candy canes. Then it's find less. Then adding the candy.

MONTHS AND SEASONS Reviews the months and seasons.

PARTY MONTH Reviews months, days of the week and dates.

MY COMMUNITY picture of a town with different buildings/areas labeled. Help find Tommy and it gives you clues to try and find him. Next game is also clues "This person works with mail, who is it?" Reminds me of Sesame Streets, 'who are the people in your neighborhood' song.

DINOSAUR CLASS PHOTO Identify herbivores and carnivores/those that walk on two legs, and by other characteristics. Then listen to clues to try and figure out what dinosaur to find

FEELINGS FUNHOUSE mixes feelings (silly, scared, angry, sad and happy) with music.

Please forgive the typos....

My daughter loves her books and is constantly "reading" them with her pen. She loves all the little games in the back, too, that make her think about the story in different ways. Really happy with this purchase.

There are so many different activities in this book. From the alphabet fridge to the counting games. My son loves this whole book and spends at least five minutes each day going through it. It might not sound like a lot, but he really dislikes learning and five minutes is long for a four year old boy running on what seems like gasoline all day.

Reviews of States and Capitals Hot Dots

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my 3rd grade son who is learning the United States Geography at school. The Front of the card has the location of the state, and the back of the card has the capital of the state. It best when used with the Hot Dots Pen. It is rewarding for a child to hear the sound when they get the answers right. After seeing my son use it, my 1st grade daughter and 5th grade son both wanted to use it, and all three of my children are enjoying learning the Geography! I would recommend this to all the parents who are looking for a Geography learning supplement.

We've had a couple of these, but they keep getting gifted to the kids, so finally we bought one for the adults. My siblings and I, their spouses, are all in our fifties, and we have a blast with this toy. It's great at a party, or for some good Halloween fun.

Bought this toy because I liked the sounds I have heard it make. I wanted to record them. And that is what I did.

I am not a child so I can not comment on how well your kid will enjoy this toy, but if I was a youth I would find this toy mildly amusing. I would probably play with it for a while making KEWL LAZER sounds.

Good toy, not great or mindblowing but also not bad or awful.

Very unique gift.

LeapFrog LeapPad Educational Book: SpongeBob SquarePants Salty Sea Reviews

My twin six year old boys have had their Leap Pad for two years and this is hands down the best book we have ever had for it. They will even pass up video games and TV to play the educational games in this story. They are the kind of boys who love their characters and this is the first educational book for older children that I have found that teaches through the familiar characters that they love. The whole family enjoys playing the games in this one. It has brought new life to our Leap Pad!

I bought each of my kids one of these last year-to this day they still play with this book the most-we all are a Sponge Bob Square Pants family-we watch all the shows on Nick. It is hysterical listening to the little sound effects in his usual Spongie voice. Some of the theme Leap Pad books do not come with the original voices of the characters, but this one does it is the voice of Spongebob. Nothing like having a yellow porous Sponge help your kids learn to read.

Looks like this would be a fun and educational tool but fun is all we got out of it. That's fine but if you're really looking for the educationally portion as well, it was a disappointment, at least for my child. Every child learns differently so this may or may not work for your child(ren).

4M Quartz Mining Kit Review

Customer Ratings:

Bought this for my 4 year old son and was amazed at how much he liked it. He spend a good two hours banging, scraping, and polishing to get all the stones (and if you have a 4 year old boy you know 2 hours of focus is a miracle). The brushes are a little useless but still fun. We have given several to friends as gifts and heard great things from all of them. There are a lot of stones in each block!!! The identification chart that comes with it is great for learning about the more common minerals. I highly recommend this for a rainy day activity or something easy to take on a vacation. Only caveat is that it makes a lot of dust. Either do it outside or make sure to put down something to aid in cleanup (and you may want a bath afterwards).

Power Tour Guitar White Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My son became obsessed with the guitar after watching daddy play guitar hero. He's only 2 1/2 but he loves this toy and can not put it down. I like the fact that it doesn't have strings which makes it very easy for him to strum and to push on the frets. The band mode is my son's favorite because it plays music and lets him play along. The only thing it doesn't have that my son has asked for is a whammy bar attachment.

It's also a nice touch that the volume on it goes to 11. Speaking of volume I'd like to buy the amp that comes with it but my wife won't let me. My son and I are both very happy with this toy.

Purchased for my 11 year old son. He could not put it down once opened.

You can play in different modes. My son would start with with learning mode. The guitar came preloaded with 12 songs that can be choosen by touching the flashing frett button. He would learn the cords and then practice on jam mode and once he had it down he would go to band mode and play it with the backround music. He just loves it!! I also tried playing and found it to be quite fun myself. Great for just playing around or actually learning the songs that are preloaded on the guitar.

I would definately recommend this to any parent who has a "rock star" wish list.

Best Deals for Power Tour Guitar White

I bought the Hasbro Power Guitar for my 12 year old son this year for Christmas, but we have all ended up having a lot of fun with it (and we range in age from 5 to 39!). There are several things you can do with this guitar and we haven't even tried them all yet. Right now we have it on 'learning' mode. It will play the first few opening notes to a song and you have to copy it. If you mess up, it 'boos' and then plays the same notes again only slower. It keeps playing the same notes until you finally get them right, then it cheers for you and moves on to the next part of the song. There is even an instructional DVD that is included and it really helps you with getting started by showing all the various features step-by-step. I am very happy with this purchase!

Honest reviews on Power Tour Guitar White

Let me first start by saying that I paid $20 for this guitar right before Christmas--with free shipping no less! That being said, the toy is worth 20 bucks. If I would have paid full price I would have been very disappointed.

My kids got this and "I Can Play Guitar" for Christmas. Power Tour is nice because it comes with a guitar strap, you can plug in your MP3 (nice feature--ICPG doesn't have that), and you don't have to be plugged in to a TV to play it. It also comes with an instructional DVD, but my kids never cared enough to watch it.

I am somewhat disappointed in its ability to play MP3s. The volume just isn't there. I'm sure there is some great reason for this, but it touts "jam along with your favorite songs." When my son started jamming along, the volume of the guitar so greatly overpowered the volume of the MP3 that it was difficult to hear and follow. Also, the specific frets light up for the programmed songs, but for your own MP3s it only plays some cool light show that would be impossible to follow along to.

The strap is a great feature. ICPG does not have that. When purchasing this toy think more along the line of electronic response games, like Bop-It or Simon Says, rather than something that will actually help you learn to play guitar (which, incidentally, I don't think ICPG does either). If you do that and you are able to get a good deal on it, you should be pleased.

I bought this for my little sister this X-mas (she made a not so subtle hint about how cool she thought it was) and I assumed that like most toy instruments it would be fun for about 5 minutes. Once she tore it open on the big day we messed around with it and I really have to say that it was the hit of the year, toy wise. The guitar sounds are rockin', you can strum or play single notes and you can palm mute. Iron Maiden watch out! The only gripes I have are that the guitar can start freaking out if you strum too fast and the "learn a song" function is really frustrating... not easy for a kid (or adult) to follow along with. That said, it was so cool I bought one for myself as well.

Best Deals for VTech Nest and Learn Animals

I bought this as a gift for a younger child but my son who is almost 2.5 had to keep it! He loves the animals and keeps saying their names as he stacks them. The pieces are pretty easy to get on the base and you can either nest or stack them. If you nest them you can hear colors, shapes or numbers info for each one when it's placed on the base. However if you stack them the cow on the bottom is the only one that makes noise. Also, I found that when stacking them they aren't that sturdy so a younger child might get frustrated, though this isn't a problem for my son since he has more developed coordination. He loves knocking the pieces over anyway. If you don't have nesting cups then I think this is a great purchase because it's a fun take on a simple toy. They store nicely on the base too so it doesn't take up much room. I am happy with my purchase!
