Benders are plastic coated shapes and figures that represent everything from Dinosaurs and Farm Animals to People. They are great fun for the 8-70 year old crowd. My family has given the different types as presents or stocking stuffers for years.

This is the T-Rex. He is a bright red in color with black tiger striping on him to make him look fierce. Though I think he looks like the cutest T-Rex I have ever seen. His head, arms, legs and tail are all moveable so you can pose him in many different looks. Great fun for the fridge or other magnetic surfaces.

Be careful though if you do repeated bending quickly as with any wire it will snap :(

Packaging for the dino line is also fun. They come in an egg shaped container.

It definitely suits our needs and I was obviously aware that it is plastic, but it's somewhat cheaply made. If you're amateurs like us and doing it for a hobby then this works just fine, but if you have very important slides then I would recommend finding a metal box to use. Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase.

Buy NINO Wood Stirring Drum With Handle & Beater Natural

Customer Ratings:

I work with really little ones, and I love that they are able to produce really solid and pleasant sounds without too much frustration. The stirring motion goes right along with the "cooking" they are always doing, and really helps to draw some of the less musical students in with its unique sound. I did have one of the the flaps fall cleanly off for no reason, so I am a bit worried about durability, but I was able to simply superglue it back on so nothing toooooo terrible. I would recommend this for anyone who like really cool sounding instruments to just play around with. My four stars is only for the constant supervision I feel is necessary with it, but that won't concern a lot of you, so bump it up to five.

My students love using this. It is clear and helps them notice when it is time to line up at the door. I have several every day asking when it is their turn to make the noise.

Explorer Globe Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I would not recommend this globe. I bought this for my 3rd grader and on the first day of using it, the equator peeled off!! I thought of keeping it anyway but decided to deal with the hassle and plan on returning it. It also feels too flimsy and can fall over easily.

What a great, inexpensive globe. It's fascinating to watch a child spin a globe even if they don't seem like they are learning anything, at least they are getting a general idea of the immense size of our world! Since getting this globe, my 5 year old son has learned about the continents and the oceans, found Australia on his own and pointed out that Antarctica is bigger than the USA. It seems that the globe gets loose from it's stand somewhat easily, but it is easily tightened. All in all, a great buy with terrific educational value.

I bought this for my 5-year-old...the stand broke on the second day he had it. The globe itself is nice, but it's disappointing that the stand isn't stronger

Honest reviews on Explorer Globe

The globe itself is great. My daughter received this for Christmas and she just loves to find different places on her globe. The only problem is the stand. It is just screwed on at the bottom of the stand and we have to keep trying to tighten it up. They really should have made the stand better to with-stand children picking it up and actually using it. Other then the stand it is a great globe.

We bought it to help the kids learn about the world. The raised mountains, and all the detail of the cities and boundaries, are really great. It'll work for them when they get older, too, because it's so very detailed. My husband and I really enjoy looking at it. It's a great value.

Hoopah Kidview Computer Explorer Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I am a home schooling mom and I use the internet as one of my main home schooling sourses. What I love about Hoopah is that I can leave my kids completely alone to surf the net! No worries!!! My daughter can home school on the internet and I dont have to worry about her leaving the websites I have pre chosen. I have also discovered many new educational web sites and games that were all ready pre configured into the Kidview computer explorer. It is very easy to set up, and my kids knew how to use it without me even telling them. I highly reccomend Hoopah to every parent who has a computer! Oh and the word Hoopah, thats Hebrew for canopy or covering, how clever!

An independent review...This is what I consider to be the best program I have found for my twin 3 year olds to date. It will keep them from messing up their computer operating system. I have a computer set up exclusively for them and this is where I think the product stands out. You don't even need to monitor. The kids will be exposed to all sorts of educational games/web sites etc. (Kind of a baby sitter, not that I am promoting hours of computer use.) Recommend a high speed connection. If the kids share your computer and you start their games or look up web sites for them, you may not need this product. I think the user interface could use some work and the desktop could be more efficiently used but that said, the company is off to a great start into an area of software that was badly needed!

Hoopah wonderful search engine that taps into a childs learning enviornment!

I believe in keeping a child curious and creating challenges for them to learn from-the Kidview Explorer allows both my young boys to explore in todays internet world. My 7 year old has many interests: puzzles/math/art... after installing this program he does not have to waste time searching individual web sites-they appear with one stroke of a finger!!!

I look forward to seeing these children develop comfort in their reading and comprehesion skills.

Finally, I am through being frustrated using other search engines to find safe and credible educational sites for me and my children. Hoopah Kidview Explorer has done it for me and better than ever imagined. It truely is God-sent to a parent with little computer awareness. I trust their knowledge and technology in my home.

Cheap Wild Horse Lock & Key Diary

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this diary as a birthday gift for my daughters classmate. She LOVES horses and this just seemed like a good fit! She is 8 years old and now LOVES to write about her daily adventures in her private diary. The lock is an added bonus so her little sisters can't see her private thoughts! We went to an area stationary store and bought a fun pen to go along with the diary! My daughter loved it so much she didn't want to give it away...I'm sure I will be back to buy another one soon!!!

My 10-year-old granddaughter loved her locking diary. She loves horses, so the wild horse themed cover was perfect for her.

Honest reviews on Wild Horse Lock & Key Diary

My daughter (13 years old) and I were going through my closet and we ran across some of my old diaries. After that, she started expressing an interest in wanting to keep a journal/diary of her own. She loves horses so I thought this would have been perfect.

When it arrived, I was not too impressed with how it looked. The picture is printed on there and looks really cheap. The colors are off and just has a really cheap look to it.

The locking mechanisim is plastic so I dont see how it will hold up very long. They certainly dont make them like they used to.

Also, when she opened it for the first time, the binding separated from the spine of the book. The pages held together and stayed stuck to the glue binding, thankfully, but I am worried they too will start to fall out.

I am a little disappointed in how this is made. My daughter seems to like it but I have to say I was a little let down by it and am already looking for a replacement for her.

Family Pastimes / Christmas Game - A Co-operative Game Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My children loved to play this game at Christmas and I have given it as gifts to a number of relatives and families, for many of whom this game has become a family tradition at Christmas. Ours has almost fallen apart from so much use and so I'm buying this one for us for next Chriistmas. It should see us through anothe generation of children.

I especially recommend this for a family with children at different ages. Because it is a cooperative game, the players all win or lose together. And as you play it, you can devise strategies to increase your chances of having a Merry Christmas, i.e. saving some gift-giving till later in the game, which helps the younger children to see the benefit of the other players strategizing. Usually, of course, younger players lose when older players play their best game...

Highly, highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does what we need it to, but the hinge is poorly designed. Rather than hold open the mouth at a jaunty angle, as in the picture, the parallelogram collapses and the top teeth flop over to the side.

You can balance it ok for display (or a catalog photo) but for sure don't let anyone touch it!

Also hinge popped out day one.

I enjoy playing with this with my 8 month old and my 2 year old. It makes a nice clapping noise when rolled. The only thing I could say negative about it is that I noticed that the string holding the clapping pieces has stretched out a bit, but the toy still works fine. I just hope that it doesn't stretch out too much over several years of use (I plan on keeping these toys for the grand kids).

Honest reviews on PlanToys Plan Preschool Clapping Roller Baby

I love this toy. As usual, the wood feels nice and smooth, and it makes a great clackety-sound. The quality is great. I would give it high stars if I had bought it for myself. But my 10-month old will pick it up, put it in her mouth, wave it around for a brief period, and then drop it and move onto other things. Hopefully she will grow to like it more because it is a great toy.

This simple toy is well made and makes a nice clapping sound when rolled or shaken. (Hooray for toys that don't make irritating noises!) While the roller has never kept my baby occupied for too long, it does produce some sweet smiles as it rolls along and claps. Anything that makes my baby happy and smiley, along with being responsible and safe, gets five stars from Mommy!
