I bought these for my 5 mos. old daughter and for a 5 to 7 mos. old I think they are kind of big, but once they can easily hold them they are great. My 10 mos. daughter who now has two teeth loves them. I keep one in the stroller, and one in the diaper bag. I think she likes the foot slightly better, but she does play with the hand too.

Okay. I bought this for dd b/c she is an early teether but she couldn't manipulate it very well until now, almost 5 months. The hand is nice but still too thick/big for real little ones. Unfotunately there really isn't much out there for early teethers. This will work.

Bought these for my daughter and they are just ok. What can you expect for a couple of bucks? I was looking for something more rubbery and they are plastic with water in them and they aren't completely filled. I probably wouldn't purchase again.

Educational Insights GeoSafari Phonics Lab Reviews

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

My kindergarten kids use this toy at a learning center. It's a fun way for students to sing the alphabet song, learn their letters and sounds, and create 3 letter words, and it's also very importantly something they can do independently. The first time I bought the phonics lab it lasted several years. I bought a new one just a couple of months ago, however, and it no longer works. I have a feeling the toy arrived defective and I'm disappointed!

I found the music in this book to be quite a bit too loud for little ears. I taped a cotton ball over the speaker, and that seemed to help.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

What is the Main Idea Super Fun Deck with Super Duper Secret Decoder it is designed for grades 3-8, and ages 8 & up. This game is designed to find the main idea in the story. The answers include supporting details and they have to find the MAIN IDEA. We stayed at level one on this game. My daughter would second guess herself on some of the answers. The main idea tends to be a little difficult for early readers and the nice part about this game is the passages are short so they are able to go back and reread the passage to help them find the answer.

LeapFrog Disney Pixar Monsters University Carrying Pack Review

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I went back and forth on multiple case options for my daughter's leappad. The zip ones don't have anything that secures the leappad in, so it is easy to drop it once they start to upzip the case. And the other backpacks only have two big pockets on the inside so there is no real organization for the games. This one was perfect! It has a pocket on one side for the leappad to be secured and on the other side there are little slots to hold individual games! Now we have the perfect solution to carry her console, games and headphones around. Plus, it has Monsters Inc on it! A double bonus!

I am so glad I held out and never bought one of the other cases. This one is so much cooler! We bought it for my 3 yr old on his birthday and he loved it! He loves wearing his "backpack" and it's a great way to store all his games. Plenty of space in there for his leappad2 and it's accessories. It is padded and keeps the leappad safe.

Bought this for a 10 year old aspiring Paleontologist. She LOVES it. It's like Operation but with dinosaur bones. It's definitely the favorite thing she got for Christmas this year. It is maybe a little young for her since she knows all the answers to the questions on the cards already but she really enjoys the pulling the bones out part. Definitely recommend for any kid that has a real interest in dinosaurs.

My 5 yr. old granddaughter really likes the dinosaur world and this really got her attention she played it constantly.

Best Deals for Uncle Milton Nat Geo Dino Xcavator

My 4 yr. old loves this game. However, her dexterity is not quite developed enough to use the tweezers to get all the pieces out. After awhile, she gets a little tired of trying (even when on a "successful run") and then resorts to pulling the pieces out with her hands. There is one piece on the board that is so hard that my husband and I have an extremely difficult time getting it out. It does create an opportunity for lot of laughter.

She will also play the game individually. We do not use the cards that came with the game as my daughter would rather just "maniacally" go at the dinosaur

The pieces are small and easily lost so it is important to bag them up immediately after the game is over. I still gave the toy a 4 because my daughter loves to purposely make the dinosaur roar and likes to play with the pieces even without the game (a big mistake on my part because i think we are now missing pieces). .

Lauri Toys Mini Alphabet Avalanche-500 Letters Reviews

Lauri Toys Mini Alphabet Avalanche-500 Letters
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I was very excited to receive these today! They are for my 5 year old son who I am homeschooling this year. He is really starting to enjoy creating words from letters and I thought this would allow him to create not only words but sentences and paragraphs in the future. Just in the 20 minutes since I put it in his room he has already "written" out a short phrase he knew how to spell with the letters.

These are sent in sheets of rubber foam that the letters and punctuation have to be punched out of. I did not find them hard to punch out just a little time consuming. It took 45 minutes from start to finish to get them all done. I only had a few minor disappointments. The capitol I and J do not have lines on the top and bottom respectively so the "I" doubles as a capitol I and lower case l. Also the J is the same for upper and lower case. You just move the j down and put a dot on top to make it lower case. The p is also the same size and is just moved up or down on the "line" to make it upper or lower case. That being said, overall, I am very pleased and am sure they will get lots of use!

My daughter is into learning about letters now that she can spell BUG all by herself. When she starts playing with the letters on the fridge and she needs lots of the same letters, I direct her here. She doesn't last long, but she tries to spell words. My only problem, if I had to state one, is that it would be nice if the letters were a tad thicker. But, overall I see this product helping a child from letter identification, through paragraph writing. Its awesome.

I had purchased this product for my child. When it arrived I was disappointed to see that the letters had not been cut out but were still punched/ attached to the original foam sheet. It took a fair bit of work for my child and I to finally remove each letter from the foam sheet.

Honest reviews on Lauri Toys Mini Alphabet Avalanche-500 Letters

It comes with 6 red, blue & yellow foam sheets of cut letter that you have to take apart. Upper case letters, lower case letters and comas/apostrophes. Lots of little pieces (separate dots for i's, comas, etc), so be careful around real little ones and vacuum cleaners! Price is great for what you get. My son loves them.

I bought this as a tool to help my son learn his spelling words and practice his spelling words in different ways. Instead of just writing them out a million times, this allows him to find all the letters to the words on his list and have a tactical connection to the word.

When you first get the box, you do have to pop out all 500 foam pieces by hand. That can get a little annoying, but you can get started after just a couple sheets of it. They come in red, blue, and yellow in both upper and lowercase letters. There are also punctuation pieces in there, so I imagine as my son gets older he'll be able to "write" out whole sentences with the pieces.

This toy is great, built several models with my 7 yrs old that was rapidly growing bored with lego & k'nex kits.

The compressor operation is impressive with all of the pneumatics working perfectly. All cylinders are clear and their workings can easily be explained to a younger audience.

A real great legacy toy that will be used for years.

I bought this for my seven year old for Christmas. It was a bit of an effort to get him to slow down enough to perform the 'easy' experiments that do a great job of demonstrating the mechanics of pneumatic systems, but we got through it and on to some of the more complicated, but very useful, demonstration projects. The instructions are very well written and offer thought provoking suggestions like 'how would you make this demonstration run faster?'. Although 9 or 10 year olds could certainly focus on and learn a lot while having fun with this kit, I think it's even better with some parent involvement. Fischertechnik makes some fantastic products many of their kits that my son now plays with were mine nearly 40 years ago.

Best CapitolBrand Microscope Slides, Standard Grade Deals

CapitolBrand Microscope Slides, Standard Grade
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
If you're like me, ordering slides for a Microbiology class and you have no idea what you want/need go ahead and spend the extra two dollars needed to buy these slides. Initially I ordered the blank slides (no frosted edges) because my professor didn't specify a type and I like saving money (even $2). Without the frost I could not easily mark my slides, which is especially annoying if you're doing a million slides that all seem to look the same and/or involve oil/stains making my permanent marker/wax pencil labels ineffective. Even if you don't need to label the slide, the frosted edges help you know which side faces up.

So, I finally broke down and ordered a second set of slides (this set) and I am so glad I got classy and ordered these ones. The frost is especially nice, better than the slides everyone bought from the school bookstore and some others from Amazon. When I use a regular pencil to label these slides most of my stains don't even temporarily cover the label I've written. To be more specific when doing a gram stain with stain actively soaking the slide, the stain moves around my handwritten label on the frost allowing me to always see the label.

Bottomlime: not all people need frosted edges but I'd recommend you err on the side of caution (especially if you're taking microbiology).

Disclaimer: The packaging appears to have been changed. My packages says all of the same information, the design is just different.

Just to get this clear. THESE ARE NOT THE FROSTED TIPS SLIDES. The box of regular and frosted tips look nearly identical except for the code number. This slide box has the code of M3504-P The frosted ones have M3504-1F. Packaging came in a box with no bubble wrap or anything. After all it is a fragile item shouldn't they put some packaging material? But lucky I did not have any broken slides. I did how ever on another brand of microscope slides which only used a bubble wrap envelope. But everything seem to be good quality for the price you pay.

Awesome placemat!! The laminated surface is so heavy-duty, multiple sponge cleanings every day haven't marred the surface at all. This is far and away the most durable children's placemat we have tried. Also, when I purchased it, I thought the pattern was two busy for my two-year olds but they LOVE looking at all the animals, learning their names, and searching for their favorites. Cannot recommend this product enough!!

I bought my 2 year old son a My First Leap pad for Christmas. Out of all of the books he received he enjoys this one the most. He is not a fan of Bob the Builder and does not like the show on television, but he sure enjoys this product. There is a lot of praise and positive reinforcement. He loves to hear them cheer and tell him that he did a great job. If the games are too difficult, the book allows him to just touch the various pictures on the pages which make various sounds etc.

We have 5 other leappad books and this one is-okay, mediocre. My 3 year-old loves Bob the Builder so I was a little disappointed that he needs quite a bit of guidance on this one as the directions are more complicated, whereas the other ones he is fully independent in doing them. However, leappad is a good company and their graphics and character voices are always fun and engaging.

My 3 year old son loves Bob the Builder, and has enjoyed learning to use his "My First Leap Pad" with Bob. The pictures are engaging and the games are easy to understand. We will definitely look for more Bob leap pad books!

Honest reviews on Leap Frog My First Leap Pad: Bob the Builder Saves the Hedgehogs

My son (3 1/2) loves the characters in the First LeapPad book series, but doesn't really enjoy the LeapPad books. The pace is s-l-o-w. The orientation is instructional -and not very fun. The system depends on the reader pressing a green "Go" button to identify which page is active. Every page is framed by a border that is reserved for the successively located "Go" buttons. This works fine until your little pre-reader zips the stylus over the full page looking for hidden treasures and triggers a "Go" button for a different page. Then everyone's confused. If your child is used to structured learning, they'll probably like this a lot. If your child is used to the pace and interactivity of computer software, save this until they have some preliminary reading skills.
