My Tot Clock is more than just a clock! It's a sleep clock, alarm clock, nightlight, time-out timer, and activity timer for toddlers who can't yet tell time. This is a must have for anyone who has a toddler in the house... or even a school age child who can tell time, but loves following along with the regimented and simple routine.

As soon as this product arrived, I opened the packaging and was going to put it away with other toys in the toy shelf when this fell from my hand and one of the green circles that goes on the square prism fell down and broke. Immediately, I called the Guidecraft customer service (their number can be found in guidecraft.com) . Unlike long holds, a human answered my call right away and promised to call me the next day and took my name and number. An lo, next morning I get a call from this company and with in a couple of days received the free replacement of the broken part. Excellent Customer Service that inspires me to buy more guidecraft puzzles and toys.

At first a 2 year old says thats too easy, 1 hour later he is still trying to fit every little part in the geometric rods!!!

This is a great puzzle/learning activity for our 2.5 year old. He loves the shapes and colors. One of the pieces broke so probably parents need to supervise play a little more carefully than we did, but otherwise I think a good quiet time toy for continuing to learn about shapes numbers and fractions.

Great toy. Easy for the baby to play with from the belly or sitting. Lots of activity and modes. My son loves to pay with the wheel, mirror, stick shift. Then he turns it around and plays with the buttons. I think this builds multi-tasking skills since they can have a had on the wheel and one on the mirror or shift.

Can get a good 30m of play on it.

Best Zometool - Pioneer Kit Deals

Zometool - Pioneer Kit
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I've always been fascinated by geometric shapes and

symmetry, so the Zome System was right up my alley.

I bought it for a big kid--me!

I also recommend getting the book "Zome Geometry",

which provides exercises, directions, and "challenges"

to really get you experimenting and thinking

analytically. Apparently Amazon only offers the

Pioneer Kit, and I noticed many reviewers suggesting

the purchase of multiple kits. Hopefully, Amazon (Toys

R Us) will start offering some of the larger kits;

beyond the Pioneer kit (121 pieces), you can also find

the 242-piece Adventurer kit, all the way up to the

1308-piece Advanced Math Kit (which also includes

advanced "green" struts for constructing truly fantastic

shapes).

[[UPDATE : Amazon now offers the larger "Explorer" Kit as well!]]

Zome allows you to build an endless variety of figures:

pyramids, cubes, prisms, dodecahedrons (12-sided ball),

and far beyond--whatever your imagination comes up with,

while giving you the chance to learn geometry in a

"hands-on" way.

I highly recommend this "toy" for kids, teachers, or

anyone fascinated with geometric figures.

This is the kind of toy you steal from your kids. It's incredibly absorbing. I've seen chemists make fantastically elaborate models with this stuff. More interesting than Lego. You'll want to get more than one set to make bigger models.

Best Deals for Zometool - Pioneer Kit

We got this kit for our son, the Lego freak! He's HOOKED ON ZOME!!! We can't wait to get additional kits and build even bigger and cooler things. I highly recommend this for anyone and everyone -solo or family fun. ALL THUMBS UP!

Honest reviews on Zometool - Pioneer Kit

I grew up playing with LEGOs and Erector set, and Zome are just as cool. Think of them as a scientific update to Tinkertoy. I first bought Zomes (this set) last Christmas for my 7 year old daughter. I saw them in a science store and thought they looked like fun. Before wrapping them up I decided give them a quick try and was instantly hooked. I stopped playing four hours later. My daughter loves them, too. We play with them regularly and do not grow tired of this toy.

Warning: I had to buy more pieces because there were not enough parts for really complicated models, and for octahedrons you need an expansion set. This kit is a good starting point.

Your imagination is only limited by the number of parts you have. Zome is fun for anyone who likes You can build very intricate designs, or you can build simple things. I have great fun creating molecular models, imitating crystal structures, placing [buckey] balls inside of balls inside of balls, and fractal-type three-dimensional designs. My daughter usually builds houses and other structures, and lots of stars. We have well over a thousand parts now and frequently build objects that encompass the living room.

For more information I recommend you check out . This is also the best place to get more parts as you can buy specific pieces by the pound, 'naked' kits (without the packaging, saves money), glow-in-the-dark kits, DVD's and books full of building projects, and special pieces only available from their site.

The sticks are fairly resilient and will last for years as long as you are gentle removing them from the spheres. The spheres will last forever, and you can get other colored spheres if you want to build molecular models.

Zome is a great product, and anyone over the age of six or so can play.

Once again in this kit ZomeTool fails to provide an adequate number of pieces to build all the models in the enclosed booklets. This is a real problem for all who purchase anything less than the most expensive $119 Kit, which itself requires additional $40 kits to be able to make more than one model at a time. The partial kits (DNA, Buckyball, Bubble, etc) sold by ZomeTool are the rough equivalent of selling a set of Lincoln Logs with only 7 logs, half a door and 3 roof tiles: not a complete cabin. This is true of all the smaller kits. To be Educational for K-12, a toy has to have enough pieces. These simply don't and the Seller should be ashamed, in my opinion. The affordable kits are simply incomplete, and the larger Kits are too expensive. After all, we're talking about injection-molded plastic here, folks, not gold-plated platiniridium or GaAs wafers.

My daughter likes the toys, but the main reason she wanted it was because of the deer family. When she received the order, it had everything in the pictures except for the little fawn. She was very disappointed, but she still plays with the rest of the animals in the set.

I ordered this set for my daughter. She has been collecting the Schleich animals for a while and was attracted by the large number of animals in this set for the relatively low price. She is happy with her purchase but wishes the detail on the animals was better. Other problems are: the squirrel is disproportionately large, the Buffalo is top heavy and we had to heat the plastic and adjust the legs to get him to stand up.

Overall, just "okay" for play.

These are very well made and durable toys. We actually used them to top a birthday cake for my daughter. The only downside was the size proportion of the otter and squirrel. They were much larger than I expected compared to the deer and buffalo. But we made due with it. A lot of detail in these toys and I would come back to purchase more if I need to.

Pizza Mania Early Math Game Review

List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $18.92
Today's Bonus: 24% Off
Buy Now

Even though Pizza Mania is technically an Early Math game, to my boys its just a fun game. It is a game that comes with four plastic pieces and pizza toppings, everything being quite durable! The game also comes with a pizza chef which is a plastic pizza guy who talks you through the game! He does require 3 AAA batteries, which are not included and his Italian voice makes my boys laugh. There are only two buttons on him, Start and Game so it is quite simple for my boys to play, but I do have to get them started as there are two games to choose from.

The first game, Pizza Party, is more for beginners (or younger players) as it uses basic adding and subtracting by 1-3 toppings. The chef tells players what toppings to add or take away from their pizzas.

The second game, Pizza Panic, is for more advanced players. It is basically the same as the first game but faster.

The games last about a minute and at the end of the game the chef will tell you what should be left on your pizza, whoever's pizza matches wins! So yes there can be more than one winner! I really like that there (hopefully) isn't just one winner, as so many games are about competition but this game is more about self-confidence and paying attention. It encourages players to pay attention, listen to directions and not necessarily compete. While it is for 2-4 players (ages 4 and up) , really one person can play on their own to practice. My 3 year old loves to make the pizzas on his own and he is slowly understanding that he needs to listen to the pizza chef's directions.

Love this toy! As a former teacher, now a childcare provider, I would recommend this toy! The pieces are rubber and extremely cute! Excellent for teaching children to follow directions and learning to realize its ok to not always be correct, so long as they tried. Only thing I'd recommend is maybe a clearer voice from pizza man. You can understand him fine just could be a little clearer. But love the concept!!

I had no idea of just how great an item it was until after having received it.

It was an investment of $20.00 that far exceeded my expectations, and as I said my kids love playing it. We even take it to doctor's appointments so that the kids can play it while waiting to be seen by their doctor.

This was purchased for my 4 year old granddaughter. She enjoys playing it and will sometimes play by herself. My only complaint is the volume. As another reviewer stated it would be nice to have a volume switch on it. The volume for the pizza man giving the instructions is fine, it's the background music that is to loud. Sometimes it is hard to hear the instructions over the music.

Cheap Discover Amber Kit

Discover Amber Kit
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
The "Discover Amber" kit was fun for the entire family. Buffing down the pieces of Amber to reveal the bugs inside was a real treat for me and my kids. In one of our pieces we found a really cool looking insect. This kit was hands-on, educational and fun. I highly recommend it!

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

The Discover Amber Kit comes with five pieces of real amber, six sheets of sandpaper, a foil tray, a magnifying glass, a booklet, and a real scorpion inside a piece of fake amber on a key chain.

If you're looking for the instructions, it's on the back of the booklet. Sand the amber on one plane in a tin of water for a few minutes on each piece of sandpaper starting with the one numbered 1 and moving on to number 6. There's really only enough room for one person to work in the pan at a time, but you can always get another tin of water.

My eight year-old daughter and I only polished one side of each piece, as instructed, so it looks like a window into the amber. The organisms trapped inside are very small, smaller than an ant. Some of the pieces don't have any visible organisms at all. We tried the magnifying glass, but it is plastic and not very functional. Still, we admire the amber for its beauty.

The booklet is short but packed with information. It tells where amber comes from, how the insects get caught inside, how to tell real amber from fake amber, and a little about scorpions, as well. An interesting fact I learned: the amber in the kit is 2 to 40 million years old.

My daughter and I both had fun and learned something together today. She gives it five stars.

This product was provided for review by Discover with Dr. Cool.

Best Deals for Discover Amber Kit

This kit was a big disappointment! I was very excited to get this kit and begin polishing the amber with my son. We read the book which I found to be educational and interesting but the fun ended there. We highly polished all the pieces of amber and only found 2 small ant like bugs. One of them was so close to the surface that we polished 1/2 the bug away before we could examine it. The other was so small we could only tell it was a bug with a magnifying glass and then only barely. I contacted the company directly before writing this review in the hopes that they would respond. They did not return my email. Too bad it was such a great idea.

Honest reviews on Discover Amber Kit

My grandson, age 6, was excited to polish the amber to see what kind of "bugs" might be inside. Unfortunately, there were few. However, he got a sense of pride when he presented the polished result to his mother for Mother's Day. He did a good job, and didn't lose interest, even after he learned it was basically clear, because it became very pretty gift, that he made himself.

BOOMWHACKERS Boomophone XTS Whack Pack
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Just as the product's package states, Boomwhackers Tuned Percussion Tubes are indeed "instant musical fun," no matter what your age is! (My mom, at 71, enjoyed slapping the C-note boomwacker minutes after we unpacked the product.) This was our family's very first set of boomwhackers. First time boomwhacker buyers should truly consider this nice little set because it totally gives you all the start up items for maximum enjoyment and fun. This package includes eight boomwhackers--diatonic Scale, C Major; two mallets; one octivator / tube cover to change the sound of an individual tube; an information sheet; a XyloTote carrying case; and a "Whack--a--Doodle--Doo! Color-Coded Children's Songbook Volume 1," which contains 20 fun songs. Of course, more boomwhacker products and accessories are available, so in time your initial set can grow in size, range, and ability. For more information, just search for boomwhackers on Amazon and / or visit the Boomwhackers official website, which is one of the most creative places on the Net! At that webpage, you can hear the tubes, and you can find a plethora of fascinating products and ideas.

The designers of this set planned very well, and I am impressed with the musical opportunities that this kit can provide for children, families, youth groups, or school classes. The box displays a seal: "Parents' Choice Gold Award" from the Parents' Choice foundation. With just a quick review of product information, one can begin to see the potential for many musical adventures and team-building. Homeschooling parents / guardians who want to add music to their curriculums may truly appreciate this product. The included song-book is written in a very fresh, user-friendly way, and tubes are easily matched to songs / notes. Some basic music lessons are included in the "It's Time to Play Music Section." The enclosed information sheet offers insight on how to use and play the tubes as well as a humorous glossary of Musical Tubes vocabulary-- Boppin'; Carvin' the Air;" Duelin'; Groove....to name a few!

Features we love: The boomwhackers are sturdy, tuned musical instruments that are non-intimidating and approachable for anyone who simply has the ability to whack / hit something. They are well-labeled and colored coded with the songbook, which allows even people new to music access to song playing! The XyloTote is a handy carrying case as well as an instrument unto itself utilizing your boomwhackers in a grouped way. You can choose to play the tubes individually away from the tote or group together in scale order with the tote. You can carry the tubes, the mallets, and the book all together. The XyloTote has a pocket for the songbook. // In the Boomwhacker world, music can be as simple a tapping a basic rhythm or as complex as the songs on the CD WhackTracks: The Boomwhacker Sessions by Ralf Illenberger and Craig Ramsell.

My daughter asks for instruments every year for Christmas, but we aren't buying a pre-schooler violins and harps just yet! She wants a full drum kit as well (with cymbals of course) so we picked the boom whackers as a good alternative. They have turned out to be a lot of fun, and my daughter has started paying enough attention to the colors to actually follow the songs. We are firm believers in piano as a true beginner instrument, but the boomwhackers have been very good at letting my daughter play tunes and have fun without the rigor of having to learn notes yet. And they are not so obnoxious that even when she just whacks that the sound is displeaing. A very nice product for us so far.

This was a recent gift for my daughter, who is almost 3 years old. She's always interested in my tools, so I wanted something safe for her to play with.

This isn't one of her favorite toys, but she does really enjoy it. She has found many uses for the hammer (which may or may not be a positive thing).

I love that the plastic is safe and sturdy. However, I wish the bolts were designed differently. There are three places where the bolts fit: the holes on the toolbox, the small plates with two holes, and the plastic nuts. The nuts thread perfectly on the bolts. However, the bolts slide right through the other holes. I wish that the bolts would thread through the toolbox holes, too. My daughter always tries to use the bolts with the toolbox, and it doesn't work properly. We can put a nut on the other side of the bolt, but then the nut needs to be held while the screwdriver turns the bolt. That's a little too complicated for a toddler.

Otherwise, I really like this tool set. We have other Green Toys, too, and they're all great.

I was a little skeptical when I ordered it, but was pleasantly surprised when I received it.

It makes my little girl happy that she can take her tool set out to fix things whenever we tell her they're "broken" & it makes me happy that she's got safe tool-toys that she can play with.

So pretty much all of these reviews are from people with kids, but I got this for myself and I'm 23 years old (It says for ages 5+, ok? I fit the criteria lol). I was looking through amazon for a counting bank and came upon this. I thought it was so adorable compared to the regular counting banks, so I just had to get it. It works great and counts the money accurately. I had a lot of change saved up, so I put on a movie as I was feeding the piggy. You have to wait a few seconds after you put in each coin so it can read it and add it. It also isn't as easy as just dropping it in...you have to use some force and basically push the coins inside. Overall I think it's great, and this is coming from an adult. I highly recommend this product. :)

Bought two of these for my 3 1/2 year old twins. They are getting at the age where numbers, values, counting, etc. are becoming entertaining to them. The bank does what it says, with some caveats. It is very, very easy to register false reads in the coin slot. And it happens a lot. Half the time I think they do it on purpose as they're just looking to see the number on the pigs snout change. I even went to the trouble once to take all the coins out, reset it, and insert them all myself. And I got a different number on the counter than the actual value of the coins. Two, at least for my boys, it's easy to reset the number. At first I thought they were opening it up when I wasn't around (which is a no-no) till one of my boys explained to me they were able to make it reset just by shaking it. The reset button is a little black button on the underside of the pigs head (inside with the coins). They shake the coins, they hit the button, they reset the count. Even with these items it works well for my children as they are at the age where we're just learning the concepts of money (and saving) and they're not looking for an accurate hard count. I would probably buy these again (with them at the age they are and the purpose I use them for) but they will have to be replaced as they get older.

Best Deals for The Digi-Piggy Digital Coin Counting Bank

My son broke his ceramic piggy bank, so we went in search of a new one. I was specifically looking for plastic this time around, hoping to avoid a break like the last time. We saw this and he really wanted it. We've only had it a couple of weeks, but so far it is great. He loves putting coins into it and looking at the digital display to see how much money went in. Helps him to recognize the value of coins, as it shows first the amount of the coin just inserted, then it will switch over to show the total deposited amount. There is no place to insert bills, so this wouldn't be the right type of bank if you were interested in that (although you can just unscrew the lid and put them in, if you didn't care about the deposited amount being correct). But for a coin piggy bank, we give this two thumbs up!

Honest reviews on The Digi-Piggy Digital Coin Counting Bank

I bought this bank for my kids they love the shape. It is also very durable as they move it around and play with it. The coins are hard to get in and if you don't push them all the way down then it can count the money twice. Overall it is a good bank and I would buy it again.

My four-year-old son was excited to get the Digi-Piggy and we liked the idea of a piggy-bank with a digital counter. However, the counting is pretty random, where pennies sometimes register as 1 cent and other times random larger numbers. In short, fun concept, poor execution with the counter.
