Dwink Juice Box Holder Orange
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

We tried the Dwink holders over others based on reviews we read and I am glad we did. These work! They aren't perfect. Our 20 month old still figures out how to turn it upside down and make a mess and he has even figured out how to get the box out, but it is better than giving him the box straight. For the most part it works.

I'm not sure why some people are saying that the Hansen's juice boxes don't fit the dwink boxes. They fit very well for us. If you turn it sideways, it holds the juice box very snug so it doesn't wobble around. And the dwink box holds Capri Suns the best out of every holder we've tried.

This product is good in concept, but I cannot get my children to use it appropriately. They immediately take their drink out or squeeze the part that is not covered. I still keep trying to get them to use it.

Honest reviews on Dwink Juice Box Holder Orange

I haven't found a box that will not fit/stay in it. A turn of the box usually makes it fit. Unfortunately, my son likes to pull the straws out of the boxes. If they could solve that I'd love it!

These are great! The juice boxes don't fit perfectly tight, which for me is a good thing. It means I'm not having to force the juice box out like with other holders we've tried. I will definitely be ordering more!

I purchased this globe to further reinforce Geography for my 1st grader. It's the perfect size for little hands and very sturdy! All land and water masses are clearly labeled as well as all countries and major cities/capitals. My son was super excited to finally get a globe and I couldn't be happier with this product!

This is an overpriced but nice-looking toy. However, that is probably the only nice thing I can say about it. It is tiny, so some of the names are very hard to read. When I first saw it, what caught my attention immediately was they showed Kashmir as a land outside of India (marked in white). Kashmir is still an integral part of India. Then, again, this toy is made in China. So, no wonder it was shown that way! To the manufacturers of this toy: How would you morons feel if India start constructing globes showing Tibet is outside of China's border?

Best Deals for Elenco 5" Desktop Political Globe

If you are short on space but still want a globe to show kids how the countries relate to each other, this is a good globe. The plastic base doesn't feel very sturdy but it has withstood little children playing with it. It is a good value for the money when you don't want the kids playing with a higher price, full size globe.

Honest reviews on Elenco 5" Desktop Political Globe

I thought this would be a great globe to keep on my desk...until I realized it was missing South Sudan. Granted it's a relatively new country, but the wall map I ordered on Amazon already reflected the change, so I don't appreciate the manufacturer unloading obsolete inventory at my expense. I will be returning this item, with the hopes that an updated version will soon follow.

I got this for my 6 YO's birthday. It's large enough to see the geography, but not so large it takes up a bunch of room. I can't comment about some of the discrepancies noted by other customers (I'm certainly not a geography whiz myself), but we've had fun going over continents and large countries we know.

After teaching biology and Anatomy and Physiology for 30 years I retired from teaching in a public high school and took a job in a private middle school. One of the subjects I would be teaching was earth science. I had never taught this subject before. The video labs are terrific. I think the name is misleading. I think of them as a complete unit in a box. I would start by giving the students a pretest which is provided. The students thought the pretests were very hard. I would keep them and after going through the complete set of 12 labs in small groups doing the experiments, and answering the questions provided I would give them the test again. This time they would declare the test was easy. I let them compare the before and after and the feedback was all about how much they learned and how much they enjoyed the process. It did not take much time for me to be completely confidant in my ability to teach the subject. I struggle to declare a favorite video lab. Rock cycle, Minerals, Weather, the sun and our solar system, the universe. All are great.

It is my experience that the manipulatives and activities in this resource really augment student comprehension of the rock cycle. I recommend it highly.

I love this kit. My middle school and high school students found it motivational and fun to do. The video introduces the subject beautifully, and the activities, a full week's worth, are spot on to encourage student involvement in their own learning. Learning outcomes and all necessary worksheets and materials have been carefully and masterfully produced. As a career science teacher, I cannot recommend this videolab too highly. It is also wonderful for less science secure teachers, who will find it has done all of the ground work for them to simply plug in and use. Excellent!

What a great idea! These laminated cards on a ring can be stowed easily in a purse, backpack, or hooked to a stroller. I recently took these on a day trip with my family and we made use of the cards as a way to stimulate meaningful conversations about thoughts, emotions, dreams for the future, and just plain getting to know each other better.

I love the variety of ideas and activities suggested on these cards and the fact that they can be used with a variety of ages. We all enjoyed using this product and give it a big thumbs up. They are going on my list of things to give to young parents.

This is my first time buying a microscope and I did research for months about which one would fit coin and stamp inspection. After I recieved it and started using it I could not believe the view of the coin. The things that I was missing with an eye loupe and the things I thought were errors were so clear. It is very comfortable to view thru,and is easy to operate. To keep your scope in good working order keep it covered and clean the lenses will only approved lens cleaner and lens cloth. I did have a question when I recieved it and called amscope customer service,they were great and answered all my questions.I also bought an extra bulb to have on hand.

Vtech V.Smile TV Learning System Pink

I purchased this product from Amazon on 2007 X'mas for my 3 years old grand-daughter X'mas gift. My daughter thought that she was so small for this game. So she waited until 2008 X'mas when she was 4. MY grand-daughter was so happy when she got the game. Each day we only allowed her to play not more than 2 hours on TV games. She played everyday, but on the fifth day, the game had on response. We tried and tried but useless. We believed that the problem must be the Writing Pad Joystick. We tried to open it to find out what was wrong. But it was tightly sealed and cannot be opened. So the TV Learning System became gabage. My grand-daughter was very sad. I don't know whether I should replace a new Joystick or not. If the new one is the same as the old one only last for a few days. I prefer to buy another game for her.

I read a lot of reviews on globes, and it appears that unless you shell out $500 for a globe, you're going to have a few lines not match up completely in the longitude. This is no different here. But it's really not noticeable unless you're looking for the imperfections because it's only 3 lines and they're only off by 1 to 2 millimeters from 60degreesE to 90degreesE (which is in the Indian Ocean and doesn't effect the countries). I'm very happy with this globe otherwise. The base is sturdy. No wobbling. Good wood and a heavy screw at the base. It spins nicely. Comes with a "how to read your globe" guide and I like the time difference dial at the top of the globe. The raised topography is nice and not intrusive. The antique look is better in person. The countries are more subtly colored than in the picture which I found to be a little too "candy like". It appears to be up to date. Contains lots of cities, river names, etc aside from the obvious country and ocean names. I think it's a great globe. It's probably really worth about $50 at most, but when the cheapest globe online is about $30 and those are absolutely horrible in construction, this is worth the money in comparison. Seems the globe manufacturers keep the price a little artificially high.

I purchased this as an ornamental piece for our reading room, and have not been dissapointed. It's made of quality material and is very detailed. My kids (seven and eight) also love to sit an analyze the globe. They've learned quite a bit about geography simply by having it around. It comes with a nice pamplet on how to read globes, which is a nice bonus.

Best Deals for Hastings English World Globe

I had been searching the internet and local stores for a decent globe for under $100 (I had no idea globes were so expensive). It seemed that all the globes were flimsy and cheaply made but still cost upwards of $150! I found this one and the reviews seemed promising. I must say that I am happy the globe feels so sturdy and has some weight to it! Though I am disappointed that not all the lines meet where they are suppose to.

For now, it will do.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought this for my daughter 5th birthday. She loves her DS, but i dont care for it much because the games are not educational. This seemed like the perfect solution.

She plays it every since day. Her 2 year old brother loves to sit and watch her and he even plays it when shes at school.

There is a switch on the back to make the buttons switch over for left handed kids. My son is left handed and has figured out how to switch it over and every time he goes to play he switches it before he starts it.

My son has also dropped it a few times and thankfully it still works. So it seems to be built well.

The only thing i dont really like about it is that it seems to go through batteries fast. We have rechargeable for it so its not too bad. And i seen they have a battery pack, but i would rather spend the money and get another game then buy a battery pack.

Reviews of Learning Resources Soft Magnetic Letters, Lowercase

Learning Resources Soft Magnetic Letters, Lowercase
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This is a very good foam magnetic alphabet set. There are two of every letter. They come in a reusable plastic purse with a snap closure and a handle. They are fairly sturdy and aren't easily bent. But, foam manipulatives are not as durable as plastic or wood, and they will not survive heavy abuse (chewing toddlers, etc). I chose them because I found that plastic letters slid down the slick surface of my magnetic/write'n'wipe easel. But these are lightweight enough that they stick very well. My only complaint is that it would have been nice if they had included extra copies of the most frequently used letters. I ended up buying a second set so that I would have enough vowels to form an entire sentance.

I am a Reading Recovery teacher and use these letters on a daily basis. I looked high and low and these are the best! They stay attached and will slide. The letters are a variety of colors but the vowels are all yellow. The dot is attached to the i, so you don't lose it. You won't be disappointed!

Best Deals for Learning Resources Soft Magnetic Letters, Lowercase

I bought these primarily for my 4-year old son who struggled with recognition of the lowercase letters. I also have a two year old daughter, and didn't want the letters with tiny magnets that were always coming out. These are very durable, and soft. The flexible magnet covers the entire back of the letter, keeping the letter firmly attached to the refrigerator. Because they are so easy to manipulate and work with, my kids immediately took to them. They helped my son with letter recognition and helped with his reading. My daughter is also excited to be able to work with the letters (still working on lower case recognition). I bought two sets, so as to have plenty to work with in spelling words, but appreciate there are some multiples in each set to start with.

Honest reviews on Learning Resources Soft Magnetic Letters, Lowercase

These letters are great for several reasons. They are built to last strong enough to be used daily throughout the years. Quiet no clicking sound like the plastic letters emit. Tactile-friendly, kids want to use them (as do I). The vowels are all yellow for easy retrieval.

I am a para-educator and work in multiple classrooms. These are lightweight and easily transportable.

These are great exactly what we were looking for. They are easy for my toddler to handle and are of decent quality. We purchased the uppercase and lowercase letters together, and they are sized well to work with each other. The magnet covers the entire back of the letters and they adhere well to the fridge and magnet boards. I'd recommend them.

My 17 month old loves this. She has the Busy Poppin Pals toy as well, but this is MUCH easier to operate. I think it's simply adorable! When the bugs pop up they shake like bobble heads! Each button/switch makes a different sound. The bugs are very colorful, silly, and have different textures. It's a great way to entertain your toddler without needing batteries. This is a must have toy for car trips!

This toy is well built and definitely durable.

The little heads pop up when the lever, switch, dial, or button in front of them is activated. Each one makes a different noise (ping, click, etc.) and has a different method to pop up, so it gives our 10 month old a variety of methods to learn. She's able to pop them down again and do it again, and no batteries are required, so it's all baby power. It seems to keep her interest for quite a while, and overall we're pretty happy with it. Occasionally, if one of the switches gets positioned just right, you can't pop the head with it back down until you adjust the switch again, but this doesn't happen very often.

The biggest downside I can think of (which has nothing to do with the toy itself) is that because of how easy it is for her to get a hold of, she occasionally picks it up and slams it against the floor when playing with it. So it is definitely durable, as it has taken quite a beating and works just fine.

Best Deals for Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Boppin' Activity Bugs

It's a fun toy. The heads that pop up stick sometimes so it's a little confusing when my daughter pushes the buttons and nothing happens. I will say a major CON is this toy is very "cheap." I was expecting a solid toy like in the old days but this plastic is very thin and light. You can instantly tell it's not the same quality a toy you would have purchased 20 years ago. I'm definitely dissapointed in this aspect, and if I had known, I probably would have purchased it. However it wasn't worth sending it back.

Honest reviews on Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Boppin' Activity Bugs

I got this for my 17 month old after he loves playing with a similar toy from a kid we babysit. I wish I had gotten it sooner (10 month old maybe?). It's a great developmental/educational toy. Once they learn how to twist, slide, push, they feel so proud of themselves. :) I bought it anyway even though he already knew how to function all four areas of the toy just because he finds it find when the characters pops up, then pushes back down just to do it all over again!

Great learning toy to start with younger babies. :)

This toy is nice, but not quite as nice as the kind where the lids pop open. It feels a bit cheaper and a little more breakable. The kind with the lids creates a little more fun as the characters pop out. My son has enjoyed this one, but I think he likes the other kind a little more.
