I love this poster! It was the perfect addition to our classroom. It is bright and colorful, fun for kids. I would have liked it to include the number 0, but I find this product to be fun and engaging.

I ordered this poster and about 4 others like it. Because of their size, they didn't ship that well. The edges on each of them had small tears on them. I know this isn't a review on the packaging, but I'm just saying this because I think because of the material and size it's unavoidable. One poster was rolled up and put in a poster tube, but the edges still were damaged just like the poster I received that was folded in a box.

I must say though, that my kids are drawn to this poster and the others I ordered. They seem to like the vivid colors on the poster.

I don't regret my buy, but I wish the posters were laminated or something to prevent damage (plus then the activities on the back of them for the kids could be done with a dry erase marker and used over and over again).

I bought this for use with a student that I tutor. She has a difficult time envisioning greater/lesser, also with remembering 11, 12,and 13. It is the perfect size, illustrates the concepts that I wanted to teach, AND has fun puzzles on the back. I will definitely order more of these!

Perfect for my 3 year old! Great for hanging on the back door at my little guy's height. We go over and check it out every once in a while. Poster type material works great for durability and hanging on the wall. It's not laminated so it would not work if I actually let little guy play with poster.

Buy LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Reading with Phonics

Customer Ratings:

I have a very advanced pre-k reader, and so I got this game as a challange to his 3 letter words that his class is on. He LOVES THIS GAME, addicted to it. It taught him pretty complicated phonic rules (ones that I didn't quite know how to teach him) like the silent 'E' @ the end, or the 2 vowels together, or even the simple identifing of vowels. THis game taught it to him in a way that he never even questioned about it. By the end of pre-k, while the other kids are still on 2 & 3 letter words, he has learned the tools to read anything, I mean even the longest of words. He even won the medal for best reader of his class. I reccommend this game even for kindergarden or even 1st grade. He's reading at a 2nd grade level. I didn't play the game myself (unlike the other games I usually do) but he LOVES it and it really worked.

I bought what I thought was an interactive BOOK as it was described. I received a small cartridge looking thing but NO BOOK. As I live in Europe and have done so for the last ten years and only recently adopted a 4 year old boy, I had no idea that what I was buying would require another piece of machinary or equipment. As I had it shipped to my brother's house in the states and then only received it a couple of months later when my mom came for a visit, it was too late to return it. So it is completely unusable and was a waste of my money. I feel that the information provided on the internet should clearly indicate that in order to read this virtual "book" one requires a another piece of equipment.

Reviews of Rhythm Band RB811 Wrist or Ankle Jingle Bell

Customer Ratings:

I used these bells with my baby music class, and they sounded great and looked fine for a while. But they didn't stand the test of time, and the fabric began to shred. I had to throw them away and wouldn't get them again. If you don't use them too much or don't mind threads of the fabric coming off, this probably won't be a problem, but they didn't really work for me.

I got these to hang on the back door and taught my dog to ring them when he needed to go out. Works like a charm, and much cheaper than the ones labeled for dogs. Just for kicks, I put them on my dog, and he hated them. So I can't recommend that. Also, I didn't put them on my wrist and use them during any festivities, but I could sure imagine them being both useful and embarrassing.

Best Fascinations AntWorks Colors of Life Deals

Customer Ratings:

This ant farm has proved to have a learning curve, but overall it has been a great experience and my kids love this ant farm!

The good:

1. Seeing the ants make and use the tunnels, and seeing how ant colonies work is really neat.

2. The lights provide a wonderful, colorful nightlight. I am not sure if the ants really appreciate them, but they are aesthetically pleasing for humans to look at. There isn't much instruction on how to change between the 2 modes (keeping it on one color or letting the colors rotate) in the instructions but it was easy to figure out by myself.

3. The construction seems to be pretty durable. It has been dropped at least once onto a tile floor and it survived without any cracks. We also have not had any problems with the light and it has been on for weeks.

The learning curve:

1. I tried collecting my own ants, but they were too small and they would escape out of the air vents before I could get more than five of them into the habitat. I resorted to ordering them and the escape problem was solved. The ants I received were a lot larger and kind of neat to look at. You can distinctly see all the little parts, which is a great teaching aid.

2. The gel is a foreign substance to the ants and they don't realize that they are supposed to dig into and eat the gel. You are supposed to encourage digging by priming the gel (putting a few holes into the gel before you put the ants in). I did so, but after the ants were in the habitat and were not tunneling, I realized the holes were probably too small. I attempted to make them bigger, but the ants went into attack mode and the top quickly went back on. It took 3-4 days before the ants realized that they were supposed to dig into the stuff. In the mean time, about half of the colony died.

The bad:

The gel can only be used twice. I am hoping that the next colony will utilize the pre made tunnels and realize what they are supposed to do a bit quicker before half the colony dies. I also hope that I can find a refill of the clear gel. I have found where to get the blue gel but I am not sure how the lights will look with the blue gel.

I bought this for my 10 year old and my 4 year old has dropped it twice so far on day two of having the ants in it! The ants lived and the top didn't even pop off!!!! It's awesome. Some of the colors are almost too bright to look at, but you have the option to keep it on one color if you want. I had to pay $14 for ants because of winter, but they are only 6 in the summer. I know that sounds like a lot, but it is worth it! It is so cool to see the ants digging in the gel:)

Honest reviews on Fascinations AntWorks Colors of Life

I bought this for my daughter's 9th birthday after she had said she wanted an ant farm. She was thrilled with the lights and had it plugged in for the entire week that we waited for out ants to arrive. The lights are very cool they either cycle rainbow colors or you can stop it on your favorite color, all with an optical sensor that you only have to wave your finger in front of! If you leave your ant farm in a sunny place (which you aren't supposed to because I think the ants don't like full sun) the sunlight is enough to trigger the sensor.

So after less than a week of anxiously waiting our ants arrived. We ordered the harvester ants, which are recommended because they are good tunnelers and they have giant mandibles that are much easier to see. I placed my order from Life Studies. It was $5 and they arrived pretty quickly. I was seriously scared of those ants because they looked like they could inflict some serious pain. Within one hour of having them in the habitat, they had started to dig up and move some gel. Within 3 hours we could see a good start on their first tunnel. The instructions say to poke some holes in the gel and they even give you a special tool for it so that the ants can start tunneling there. Oddly enough, our ants chose their own spot and ignored our poke holes completely.

For the entire first week we would check on the habitat every couple hours. Our house was filled with someone shouting "Hey you guys come look at the ants now!" I also bought The Life and Times of the Ant which proved to be a wonderful reference, and actually explained why the ants did some of the things that we would have otherwise thought weird.

We did experience the light not working, but after an email to the company the problem was resolved within a day. Great customer service!

The only thing that I can complain about is the size of the habitat. It seemed like our ants dug most around the sides and bottom. They spent a lot of time at the bottom, like maybe they wanted to be able to dig deeper. I felt a little sorry for them. They also tried to tunnel upwards and were able to chew off the corners of the rubber seal. I do not feel like they would be able to get out of the habitat without the seal though.

Most of the ants lived for about a month and a half (there is still one ant alive after 2 months), but most of the excitement happened in the first couple weeks. I absolutely plan to order ants again soon, and I'll probably order a gel refill kit at some point too. Our entire family, from parents to 2 year old, loved seeing the progress and I think we all learned a little something too!

I figured that if an educational toy is good enough for a child, than it's good enough for me. My wife thought differently. She wasn't too upset with my purchase until the ants arrived, than she very nicely asked me to give it away. Well, for the 2 weeks that I owned this, I was totally fascinated by the activity of the ants. They really are a remarkable insect and watching them dig tunnels as a group is simply amazing. The final straw came when I placed the ant farm in the kitchen. My granddaughter now owns it and is fascinated with it as I was. My wife is very relieved that it is no longer around.

Cheap Laugh & Learn Spanish Grammar! Book

Customer Ratings:

This book is full of worksheets with a joke at the top of the page in English. The students then do an activity to spell out the answer in English at the bottom of the top. Each page has a code that is filled out with letters or words from the correct answers.

The chapters are:

Nouns and Articles

Adjectives

Verbs include: present, preterite, imperfect, subjunctives, future, conditional, commands, besides some choosing between two verbs, such as saber and conocer

Pronouns

Special uses, such as time, months, and question words

Some of the pages are matching the Spanish with the English translation. Other pages are fill in the blanks of Spanish sentences. Some pages have the students circle yes or no if the sentence is correct. There are also a few mazes.

The jokes are pretty corny, such as "What goes tick, tick, woof, woof?" A watch dog. Or "What do you call a cow lying in the dirt?" "Ground beef." But kids love it. I like that they self correct to figure out the joke. It's something students can do on their own with a sub who doesn't speak Spanish. These are worksheets your students will want to do.

Ordered this guitar through Amazon via Musician's Friend. It's WAY awesome! After reading all the reviews on the Debutante I was a little unsure about ordering it because it seemed the majority of people going to play it was under 12 years old, and all those bad things a bunch of people said about it! Well, I've only had mine for half a day and I'm 22 and not a very small person and it's a *perfect* fit compared to the big bulky 4/4 guitar I was practicing on prior. The sound is loud and powerful and (I think) a good tone too!

Cheap Family Pastimes / Caves & Claws - An Award Winning Co-operative

Customer Ratings:

After reading all the glowing reviews on this product, I was somewhat disappointed upon playing it with my son for the first time. First of all, it's not really "cooperative" in the conventional sense. Playing with my son was the equivalent of the two of us playing as one player and just taking turns. Yes, there are separate game pieces for each player, but other than that you have the same goal and same tools to get you out of trouble. There's really no kind of strategic cooperation to speak of.

The bottom line is probably that my 8 yr-old son is too old for the game. The age range is supposedly 6-9. I would say it is better for 4-7. I believe that kids in that age group may find it fun.

This game is fantastic! I play this game with my 2 boys (ages 4 & 6) all the time and they never get tired of this adventure game. We play it in a verity of different ways and work together to make every game a success. One of the best features of this game is it requires cooperation, you can't win unless you work as a team. This feature alone has taught my guys cooperation and at an age when they are becoming very competitive. In addition to encouraging cooperation we have learned logical thinking and planning and a whole bunch about archaeology as I have used the game to lead into real archaeology lessons that they now incorporate into the game. Oh also this game encourages creativity! Buy this game and go on an adventure with your kids and with out the TV or computer! (Note: I've had the game about a year now and the kids still play it often!)

I played this game last night with my 8, 6 and 3.5 year olds. When I saw how involved the directions were, I thought there was no way this game was going to work for us. To my complete surprise, we all had a great time! The game itself is fun, in an Indiana Jones kind of way, but playing also provides an opportunity to teach crucial life skills, like listening to each other's ideas, building consensus, and sometimes sacrificing your turn for the good of the whole group. My pawn got stuck in a cave for a couple of turns because we all decided that it was more prudent to save our remedy cards in case we needed them elsewhere, and sure enough we did. Then all three kids got stuck in the other cave while I discovered the final treasure and took it back to the tent. The nice thing about the game is that you can make it what you want, so I pretended to get reinforcements from the tent and rescue the kids. Then we had high fives all around for completing the mission and getting everybody out safely. The kids loved it, and I loved being able to FINALLY play a game with them without any bickering, crying, and hurt feelings.

Honest reviews on Family Pastimes / Caves & Claws - An Award Winning Co-operative

I homeschool my kindergarten age son and I ordered this game to use as one of our "fun time" activities. The educational component is good for a 5 year old as it teaches cooperation and strategy. The game invovles using logic, critical thinking, and planning ahead. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to play, but the directions are clear and once you start playing, it makes perfect sence and was also easy for my 5 year old to understand after I explained it once. He loved it and every time we finished he asked to play again (we played 5 games the first time using). I agree with the age range on the box of age 6 and up. There are a lot of little cardboard cards that you use with the game that could be damaged by a child any younger than that; but the game components should hold up for a long time as long as they are properly taken care of. The length of time it takes my son and I to complete one "game" is about 15 minutes which is great. It can also be played by 1 player which my son was able to do after playing only a few games with me. It's very different than any child's board game I've ever seen and we'll definatly be playing this one alot!

Cooperative games are wonderful for young children. All the players work as a team to travel the paths on the board to collect artifacts and overcome obstacles to win the game. My 5 year old twins (and my mother and I) love playing this game. Of course everyone wants to have the "stinky sock" remedy card that defeats certain obstacles. You use certain cards to create paths to travel on the board so the game is always different each time you play. I am looking forward to finding more games of team cooperation to play with my family. It is great to work together and win the game as a team with no young children crying because they didn't get to win. It's a very clever game. I only wish the game was more durable. The cards are pretty flimsy and I can see that they may not last over time (or the handling by my 2 year old). I may try to laminate them and see if that helps.

Review of LEAPFROG Ride On Train

Customer Ratings:

My son loves this train. He got it for his 1st birthday, is now almost 2 and still plays with it every day! He loves that the seat lifts up and he can put things in it. Before he could walk he liked pulling himself up on it and playing with the toys on the sides. I have to say I always worried about him pinching his fingers in the seat but it never happened. The music is a little loud but I just put a sticker over the speaker and that toned it down quite a bit. All in all I think it is the most used toy he has ever received.

He got it for his 1st birthday and just loves it! Even though he's in the 90th percentile for height his little feet can't quite touch the ground yet, but he loves for us to push him around on it.

Honest reviews on LEAPFROG Ride On Train

For what should be a pretty straightforward toy, there are a few odd designs that really subtract from the overall experience. First, as others have mentioned, there's no off switch. Second, the seat is supposed to open up for storage, but the backrest gets in the way and has already led to more than one pinched finger. Finally, and this may be nit-picky, but it's really silly to put the trigger for the whole alphabet song on a rotating gear. So when a child spins the gear around and around, you get a stuttering "Let's let's let's let's let's let's sing let's lets' s let's sing let's let's let's sing the let's let's sing the alphabet song!"

Discount Pressure Sensitive Fabric Switch

Customer Ratings:

This pressure sensitive fabric is very clever and works fine. Just don't make the mistake I did and try shortening it. I wanted a 6" length and cut it and then spent about an hour trying to prevent the cut ends of the conductive wires from shorting. If you connect to one end of the strip, you will see about 100 Ohms when the fabric is pressed firmly close to that end and about 1 to 2K Ohms at the other end, so it's not really a "switch" it's a pressure sensitive resistance that does go open circuit with NO pressure on it. It can be used with the logic level input of a microcontroller with a 1K pull up/down to bias it.
