Once the thumb piano arrived I couldn't wait to open it and once I did there was no disappointment I love the sound
it looks perfect the only thing is that the middle key doesn't perfectly line up with the sound hole or at least
mine doesn't but thats OK I'll be having fun with this instrument for along time.

Review of Fractiles Fridge Fractiles
Don't want to bother with the metal board that the larger Fractile versions come with? This one is perfect to decorate your refrigerator with. I gave a couple of these kits to my daughter who took them to her office and placed them on the side of a cabinet so she and colleagues could create designs during breaks. Fun for everyone! Great for kids too, of course!!!

Cheap Vtech Genius Notebook Laptop Computer (Blue) w/ Joypad & 2 Games
I would encourage the producer of this toy to redo the voices in it but otherwise it's a great buy. I'm still not sure why it didn't come with a charger but it has a port that no other device of mine seems to with with. Baby is learning a lot, he's only 22 months so it's a little advanced for him but still fun with supervision.

Cheap Replogle Globes Illuminated Austin Globe, Antique Ocean, 16-Inch
This globe is eminently satisfactory! The quality is excellent; the finish on the stand is fine; the antique oceans fit my decor far better than the more traditional garish blue. I did not think I would like the illumination but when seen my wife and I both loved it. Kudos to Replogle and to Amazon for the low price!

I bought this last year for my grandson for christmas and he loves it. He's entering the first grade and I'm sure he would be using it quite bit.Best Deals for Replogle Globes Illuminated Austin Globe, Antique Ocean, 16-Inch
The globe is relly nice, lights up, attractive. The stand is a little bulky, but it is better than the pedastal stands that just never seem to tighten up. The way the globe sits on the stand is a little inconvenient because the electric wire for the light hangs down undernear and requires some attention when you turn the globe very much. But all in all, I like it. It's big enough and good for showing the kids where things are. Which is what I got it for.Honest reviews on Replogle Globes Illuminated Austin Globe, Antique Ocean, 16-Inch
What a great and fascinating gift for most children, who always seem interested in other countries. I got one as a child myself 63 years ago, which I passed on to one of my children. Countries have appeared and others disappeared, but still the fascination continues. If you want to give something to a child which they will like and treasure all their life, you can't go wrong with this. Our grandson loved it!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Replogle Globes Illuminated Austin Globe, Antique Ocean, 16-Inch

Nintendo Delux Set w/ ROB the Robot Reviews
I got this for my fiance for our 2 year, and it was the perfect gift. There are some problems, either the 72 pin connector isn't making an easily solid connection or there is some other problem. I have to wiggle the games around and talk sweetly to them to get them to register in the NES. Once they register they work fine.
The set I received though was in such great condition, I remember everyone having really beat up Nintendos as a kid. This set was very clean.
R.O.B. is in critical condition at this time. When I received him he wasn't closing his hands all the way. I read online that the glue used deteriorates and that it could have easily jiggled stuff loose in the shipping. I had kept it hidden away and hadn't tested it. If you get this I would make sure you plan time to test it, as repairs are commonly needed. We fixed it so that his hands opened and closed right after open body surgery and special glue for plastic but now he does not go up and down. There are thankfully a few different resources on repairs for him if you google "ROB the robot repair guide", and since they are probably all deteriorating at similar rates I'm guessing a lot of people the last few years are having the same problems.
I also about broke my back getting a 27'' Sony Trinitron tube television into the house. Remember, the duck hunt gun and ROB only work on an analog tube television. Something to do with the TV flashing lights at them to communicate. So if you do get this remember that you need to find someone with a decent tube television to sell you unless you have one already. Also factor in purchasing games. A lot of the ones I lovingly remember from childhood are expensive, and not always in good condition. You may want to buy cases since most of them come out of box. So by the time I bought this, the television, and ten games I had spent an insane amount of money, and haven't even bought cases yet.
Overall I am really glad I bought this instead of the action set or an out of box one. Even though there are only two games ROB can play, and he doesn't even really play them well, and it is yet to be proven that he will recover from being in critical condition, this really was the perfect gift. If you want something unique for that special geeky someone and are willing or able to put some serious resources into it, this is it. We have already made many happy memories playing with our Nintendo, and I'm sure are going to have fun playing and repairing it for years to come.

Review of Learning Resources Prepared Slides, Set II - 24 Specimens
Got these prepared slides for my 9 year old when I bought her a microscope. These are great slides. Ordered 2 sets of them and happy with every one.
Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>
I bought this set for my 7 year old niece and we viewed it together. The specimens seem very professionally done -well-dyed, clearly labelled, and constructed to stand up to the type of rough handling you'd expect from little hands. There are 5 specimens per slide so there really is a lot here to look at. There's a broad variety of subjects and enough "odd" items to inspire lots of questions. Of everything we viewed, it was (surprisingly) the pollen samples that drew the most oohs and aahs from my niece. We did both find ourselves wishing for more insects, and the textile samples were rather "ho-hum", but overall this is a nice set and, I think, worth the purchase.Best Deals for Learning Resources Prepared Slides, Set II - 24 Specimens

Review of Curiosity Cards
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.

Discount VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels Fire Truck
This toy is small, but it was a pretty big hit. I think being small is good for smaller kids and smaller hands. My 1 1/2 yr old nephew loved it, and although the song may get annoying to some adults, I found it very cute.

Best LeapFrog iQuest 5th Grade Science Cartridge Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $14.99
Sale Price: $4.97
Today's Bonus: 67% Off

This is an exceptional learning tool for ALL children but an even better tool for those who don't always get it the first time in class. My daughter brought her Science grade up from almost failing to passing with flying colors... Be sure to ck out all subjects you wont be sorry you spent the money. It's fun... Easy to use and most of all it helps to build better study habits early!
However, you can still use them as just a questio and answer game, and just not enter the textbook info, but you should not have to pay the same price for them, as they only have about 50% as much info on them and do not co-ordinate with currently used textbooks.
I had to order 3 times before I got the current 2 cartridge pack. Amazon knows the photos are deceiving and refuses to correst them, which is FRAUD. Even after I called Amazon, BEFORE I ordered each time, to ask if I would get TWO or ONE, I was assured I would get TWO, and I only got ONE . . . .
IF you get the current 2 pk. edition, it is a GREAT deal and a wonderful educational tool. I homeschool and use these as part of our curriculim.

There is an element of FRAUD used in the photos shown on MANY of the iQuest cartridges on AMAZON. Almost ALL show TWO cartridges. However, you frequently only get ONE. The difference is the package that only has ONE, is an OLD outdated one and covers textbooks so old they are no longer used in the schools. They are primarily designed to be used by entering the PUBLISHER of your child's textbook, and then selecting the title of the TEXTBOOK so you can test yourself on the chapter you are doing in class, which makes the single cartridge useless.However, you can still use them as just a questio and answer game, and just not enter the textbook info, but you should not have to pay the same price for them, as they only have about 50% as much info on them and do not co-ordinate with currently used textbooks.

Our son got this as a gift when he was still too young for it, but lately it's been attracting his attention more and more. I've always thought it was extremely clever, and his new focus made me go online just to see how it was priced. Three quick points:
