was looking for a way to share the Elf on the Shelf story with a preschooler. this book is perfect for the shorter attention spans of the littler ones, giving them a way to participate in the story as it is being read to them.

I thought this would tell the whole Elf story just in a children's version or with music...it's very very short and kind of indirect. My kids liked it, but it won't really be much use next year as they will want the "bigger" version. They are almost 3 and 4.

I am not sure that I would buy this model again.

The part don't really stay in place making it hard to view right side up.

The male female parts are not easy to fit in.

I bought it for class lectures and practically have to lay it down and just

show the organ parts one by one to those that can stand around the table.

Got this as a Christmas gift for my young cousin who is in medical school. While it isn't the fanciest model, it was fun and a great coffee table conversation piece in her appartment!

Honest reviews on Anatomical Chart Co. Budget Peter/Petra Torso Model # CMT3

Not great. I bought the model to give my children a clear understanding of how the organs are positioned in the body. This model just falls to pieces.

I've had to use velcro stickers (needing super glue to stick them on) to keep the pieces in place.

It would have been nice to have had some kind of key or label system to identify the body parts/colours they have used i.e., skin layer, bone, cartilage.

I wouldn't recommend this to a friend.

I like this little magnetic Haiku set. It is handy enough to tote right along with you.I do not use mine on the fridge.I spread the words out, and form poems right on the counter.Afterwards, I write the poem in my poetry journal.I have only one complaint.Although the box is lovely in its decor,I so wish this came in a metal box. Far easier to toss in your purse....no crushing.However, that said,I so like this item!

Gave it to my brother for his birthday, and he texted me a picture of his small refrigerator with some very deep haiku plastered on the door. Something to consider when he reaches for the Mt. Dew. Haha. In all seriousness, though, it's easy to put up a selection of these magnets anywhere, and they start conversations and get people thinking just a little more literarily. Loving these for just go-to gifts for my favorite word lovers.

Fisher-Price Little Superstar Bop 'n Beats Drum Set Review

Customer Ratings:

I thought this would be a great toy, I mean, a drum set for a baby. But this just isn't a drum set, it is a badly designed hard plastic toy that makes noise. And half the time it doesn't even make drum like sounds but sings for you. Or yells at you. I mean, hit that plastic drum and half the time it will sing for you "babadoo ba ba ba". Common. That is just simply dumb. If there had been a button for the toy so that it only made drum sound in mode one and did this stupid singing/yelling in the mode two I might have liked it a little better. Or make more parts that do the yelling if you so wish. But the "beebeede beebabooo Yeahh" is even irritating to my seven month old. This could so easily have been a great toy. I thought more highly of Fisher Price than this. Slight modifications on the sound would have made it nicer and make some of the hard plastic soft (for my teething 7 month old). And why not have more parts that move and rattle to make sounds on their own, what is wrong with that? As is it is not a very nice toy. I was so disappointed!

I purchased this for my daughter after my husband saw it in a store (he's a musician) and my daughter was thrilled with it immediately (5.5 months old then.) She "got it" right away and never seems to tire of it. I was pleased with the sturdy construction and the dual volumes. I like that it plays both scats, and each instrument individually. It's bright, colorful, and I love that all the pieces have smiling faces, as babies really identify and enjoy faces on EVERYTHING. This was well worth the money and I have recommended it to many other mom's in my online groups. It's a great toy!

UPDATE: My daughter is now 15 months old and still plays with this toy. I just wanted to add that it is still going strong and holds her interest.

We got this toy as a gift. Was never played much with neither of my two babies paid attention to it. There is nothing much there just a stand with some drum-shaped attachments that play some short song or music when hit. Yesterday I sold it at a yard sale for a dollar and had two mommies fight over it. Thus became curious and checked the price of this toy here. Frankly, I am shocked to see it priced at $39! I thought it was under $10 for all the play value and functions it has. Save your money, it is an overhyped & overpriced toy.

Got this as a gift for my daughter this past Christmas. I know, I know, if it's enjoyable for baby it shouldn't matter to dad, but I was hoping that there would be more musical features with this toy (I have to agree with reviewer Sigrun Hreinsdottir, the scatting "biddabeebopbopboo" is a tad irritating) and my daughter only plays with it sporadically, it doesn't really hold her interest. If there's one toy I would recommend it would be the LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table, I got this for her last Christmas and she STILL enjoys playing with it (I'll be writing a separate review for that, but let me say beforehand that I do highly recommend it). In all fairness to this product, my nephews seem to enjoy it.

Lacing and Tracing Sea Life 8/Pk Ages 3-7 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Not only can my kids use these items to "lace and trace", but they do pretend play with them, too.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

The cards are made of a thick cardboard material. It is stiff, but I can definitely see a kid bending it without much difficulty. The laces have plastic tips making the tip narrow, and easier to thread the holes in the cards. My toddler is able to thread easily without assistance from me. It doesn't hold my child's attention at two years old, but maybe it will get more play in the next year, we'll see.

I'd recommend these to anyone with toddlers. It's the first toy I've found that kept them busy ALL through church. They love lacing themselves, but they especially love it when I make a mess out of it and they get to undo all of my lacing.

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.

Review of FLASH CARDS MONEY 96/BOX

Customer Ratings:

Recommended by local Montessory school. An excellent tool for kids 5-6 and up to learn how to identify money cards have photos of US coins and banknotes. Coins are pictured in both heads and tails!

There are 96 cards with bills, coins or combination of both to challenge little minds. Quantity is stated in both numerals and words. Well made. Set allows to do computation of money combinations, math drills and also has an activity idea card to make up fun activities while learning a very important skill recognition and counting of money. Highly recommend.

Discount Elenco 100 Capacitor Component Kit

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $13.00
Today's Bonus: 35% Off

The description given for this item is incorrect. It actually contains:

30 Ceramic from 10pF to 470pF

35 Mylar from .001µF to .22µF

35 Electrolytic from 1µF to 1000µF

This is a nice selection of components for the experimenter.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I saw this item advertised for about $16.99 on Amazon, so I put it on my wishlist. Then it dropped to $13.75 for a little while, so I went ahead and bought it. I thought it would be nice to just have a bigger selection of capacitors, since I never seem to keep all the values I want on hand. Like the other reviewer stated, there are about 30 ceramic, 35 mylar, and 35 electrolytic capacitors. 21 different values, and 100 total pieces. It's a nice start if you don't already have a big collection of components. You might be able to find them cheaper elsewhere if you buy in bulk, but for a beginner it's hard to know how many of which kind to buy from an online electronics company. This kit is convenient, and reasonably priced.

Best Deals for Elenco 100 Capacitor Component Kit

Just what I expected, It has:

ceramic disc (10 pF, 22 pF, 47 pF, 100pF, 220 pF, 470 pF .001 uF)

Mylar (.0022 uF, .0047 uF, .01 uF, .022 uF, 1 uF, 22 uF, 1 uF)

Electrolytic (4.7 uF, 10 uF, 22 uF, 47 uF, 100 uF, 470 uF, 1000 uF)

All types in individual bags.

Honest reviews on Elenco 100 Capacitor Component Kit

This is a nice selection of small caps to get started with electronics hobby projects. As others have pointed out, the description conflicts with itself. This kit is made up of mylar, ceramic, and electrolytic capacitors, not just ceramic caps.

Also, the box says the bags are labeled and which values are in which bags, but the bags are not labeled. So I'm deducting a star for that and the confusing description.

Otherwise the caps work as advertised and give a nice little selection.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Elenco 100 Capacitor Component Kit

This kit came with a nice wide array of capacitors. I found the tolerance of the values to be around 5% checking with a high grade laboratory multimeter(Agilent 34405A). They are all quite small as you can see in the photos I added, so they will work nicely on a project board. If you are curious about the size and quantity just check the pictures I've added. Every bag contains 5 capacitors with the exception of the 100uF 4, 470uF 4, and 1000uF 2.

My only complaints, is the bags are not labeled. So you have to reference the markings on the capacitor bodies with the index provided inside the box. This isn't too difficult to do, but it is a little time consuming.

Overall I think the kit is a great value for the cost. You would pay this much for individual parts at Radioshack or most local ic parts supply stores.

For everyone complaining about not being able to use these:

The capacitors that do not directly have the values on them you have to reference the index. For example bag 4 which contains 100pF caps has (101) on the cap if you look closely. Bags 1-3 are marked in Joules, but they completely correspond with their value in picoFarrads i.e 10j = 10pF. The rest are large enough to actually have the values marked on them bags 14-21.

It is not impossible to find the values and you do not even need google to do so. The only reason I checked them with a meter was to see how accurate they were. I can understand this being very frustrating for someone new to using ICs for hobbies.
