Cheap Midwest Products Land Sea And Air Model Activity Kits - in your

Customer Ratings:

I have two sons who are very interested in knights and castles, as well as the associated weaponry. They wanted to get their father a catapult for his birthday. They worked together on the assembly and then enjoyed using their creation to launch Play-Doh balls across the kitchen. It works! You can really get some distance with this little contraption. As you might imagine, they decided dad needed a trebuchet for Christmas.

My grandson needed to build a catapult for Social Studies class in six days. No other instructions or directions were given. Thank goodness for Amazon! The kit was shipped and he had it built with a day to spare and he got an A for the project. This is a great catapult kit; very well constructed with nice wood that stained beautifully.

I bought this as a project to share with my 10 year old son. We put it together in less than half an hour (other than some time to let the glue dry). He had a blast, learned a lot, and was thrilled with the whole process. The kit was very easy to assemble.

Honest reviews on Midwest Products Land Sea And Air Model Activity Kits - in your

It is a catapult, it fires small objects across the room. Things like mini marhmallows, dog food, and marbles work well. The trigger slips and does not hold down the arm, but could probably easily be fixed. If your thinking the price seems kinda high, well it is, but you already know that. It is sturdy and looks good.

Used this for a science project and was very happy with the results. It is a fun toy to launch objects with. Have fun if you buy this.

These short curves are really a nice addition to your wooden railway system as they make it possible to create small and sharper turns than you can do with the normal curved track (33342). The downside of this track is that it may be a bit difficult for longer engines (like the mighty red battery-powered engine) to drive through the curves. However, if the tracks are laid without too many "bumps" at the connecting points the larger engines will manage to drive through it as well.

These are exactly what you would expect from BRIO. We are always short on curves and these did the trick.

BRIO is the most durable and has the best quality wooden train on the market. These are a must have for extending and building. My son loves having these shorter curved pieces. We have 3 sets and are considering buying a fourth set; that's how much he uses them when building. A great piece to have.

Honest reviews on BRIO Short Curved Track

Again, a good product, but over priced. I would try to find some gently used ones.

These track pieces only add to the fun of the brio train tracks. They allow for you to fill in tight spots, make tighter curves and increase the changes you can make to your train set up.

They are well made and sturdy. They have lived up to the effort of three kids playing, putting them together, stepping on them, and so on.

They are lots of fun. Enjoy.

Best Vtech Tote and Go Pink Laptop Deals

Customer Ratings:

We bought this for our daughter about a year ago, and everyone in the house plays with it, her older and younger brothers both, and that means ages 2-5. It's held up beautifully, nothing wrong with it and it's been dragged all over the house (and car), fought over, and wrestled with and it's still going just fine.

As a plus, the mouse pad can either sit on a peg connected to the right side for easy travel stability, but for our left handed daughter, you just move it off the peg and move it on over. This is a huge plus for this system.

I purchased this product for my daughter who is about to turn 2, and she already knows some of her letters! She loves it and packs it around with her everywhere!!! The only problem I had with it, and I guess it's not really not a "problem", probably just a parent thing!, but, even at it's lowest volume setting it's still pretty loud I don't know maybe it's just that monkey, oh that monkey! I like how it goes off by itself so the battery doesn't drain itself...very handy!!

I bought this for my 3 year old niece, and she loved it. It was her favorite gift out of all of her birthday gifts! I think it might be just a little bit advanced for her age, but it is definitely something she can use for quite some time.

Honest reviews on Vtech Tote and Go Pink Laptop

I can't say enough good things about this little computer! I'm gonna be very honest... it took me a while to buy it because (and I hate to say it now) but I just thought the thing looked cheesy (cheap)... But man was I wrong! We've had it a while now and my daughter still plays with it for extended periods. It really is a GREAT toy! It is very educational and helps with hand eye coordination -via its mouse training applications. I only regret having waited so long to buy it -recommend for kids 3 and 4.

Other great features are: it's incredibly durable, you can switch mouse for use on either side and it has an automatic shutoff after about 3 minutes.

Only bad things about it are: it is loud even on lowest setting (as many reviewers have mentioned) and the screen is small (but I dare say there isn't one out there with a bigger screen for this price :-).

Seriously, if your child is 3 to 4 you won't regret buying it.

** And I also need to set AEH "Mom of Toddler" straight; the child does NOT need to know how to read in order to enjoy the computer. Child can scroll through and pick which application he/she wants to play with the monkey as his/her guide. **

I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old daughter for Christmas 2008. I am homeschooling her and wanted a tool to help her recognize letters and numbers while having fun. So while she can't yet use many of the games I have to just rave that this is the best product that I've used that allows her to interact AND learn her numbers and letters. It also lets her pretend to be just like mommy while she "works on her computer".

Many people brought up the issue of the volume button and that isn't a problem for us. She knows it gets taken away if she pushes that button and that only Mommy can change the volume.

We use many other things to help with letter recognition but this is by far the most effective and just today we had a blast playing on the laptop!

The Kittrich shelf liner paper was exactly what I ordered and of high quality at a reasonable price. The transaction was easy with no problems. I would buy this product from this vendor again.

I bought this (with a roll of yellow as well) to line the cabinets in my blue and yellow kitchen. It applies easily and sticks well. Just make sure the surface is CLEAN or it won't stick. I have one spot on a shelf that had varnish spilled on it and it didn't want to stick there, not a problem though-glued it. Other than that, I've had no problems for the past year that I've had the paper. Still sticks great and wipes clean easily. I sat a bottle of corn syrup on a shelf, not realizing at first that some had dripped down the side of the bottle. When I noticed it later, I was able to use a damp paper towel and wipe it right off the shelf-even though it had started to dry! Great product!

We researched MANY baby walkers & I really wanted to purchase one that had an option to change the tension on the wheels. Sadly, the few that I found were too pricey for my pocket. I liked that this walker had rubber on the wheels but was made of all wood the blocks are just a bonus. Our son had a hard time turning this when he first started using it, but with more experience he soon started to figure out how to turn it and slow down before hitting walls, etc. (It's all part of the learning process.) Now that he's walking on his own, he still loves to push this around (and run us over). It is difficult to clean the grimy kid dirt off of the areas that are raw wood (there is no clear finish on them). I've also noticed that two of the wheels have become wobbly, probably from too many sharp turns taken by my son. I wish there was a way to take them off & straighten them but I haven't figured that out yet. Overall, I'm VERY happy with this walker. It provides all the basics we needed to get our son up & walking.

Loved this toy. Could not believe the quality you got for the price. The walker alone is worth double! The paint finish is beautiful, thick and smooth. The blocks are the most stunning set we own. Would buy again in a heartbeat! I am now a die hard follower of all things Hape

Discount Glow Rocks Science Kit

List Price: $39.95
Sale Price: $29.95
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

I had no idea that rocks could glow under a UV light before we saw this kit. I must say, this is really neat science from Dr. Cool. I was very impressed with how the ultraviolent light (included) makes each rock glow in a different color. This product was a huge hit in our house.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

The Glow Rocks Kit comes with an activity booklet, an adventure guide, a UV lamp, and six glow rocks. We learn about why things glow, the different wavelengths of light, and how to identify seven types of minerals: hackmanite, sphaelerite, wernerite, willemite, common opal, fluorite, and calcite.

Impressive. The rocks fluoresce, all of them differently, and the children experimented. There were ten suggested experiments in all:

1) Look at the rocks under the UV lamp.

2) See how the rocks fluoresce in water.

3) See how the rocks fluoresce when the UV lamp is behind sunglasses.

4) See how the rocks fluoresce when different strength sunscreens are applied.

5) See how different toothpastes glow.

6) Look at different currencies of bills under the UV lamp.

7) Look at different stamps under the UV lamp.

8) Look at different driver's licenses and passports and ID cards under the UV lamp.

9) Test objects around the house to see if they glow.

10) Look at objects outdoors to see if they glow.

My children were not as able to focus on this kit as well as they did with the other kits, but they did enjoy it. Personally, I think the wonderful thing about this kit is when the children finish, the UV lamp will transform into my portable doggie urine detector!

This is a fun kit for the little scientist in your house. It is a little expensive as a kit but black lights are not cheap in general. What I liked about this kit: the rocks all glow, some more than others but they are good specimens (about an inch or more in size). The black light is small and portable making the possibility of finding other luminescent items a lot easier and fun. The light has a double feature of being a black light and a regular 'flashlight' which we used a lot to see the difference between the black light colors and the 'white light' colors without having to turn the overhead lights on and off.

My 8-year-old had fun walking around looking for other glowing items in her room including her own rock collection from the 'pick a bag of rocks' bins.

This is nicely packaged and makes a good gift idea. The kit is a little pricy but the benefit of it is up to you as the consumer to get more out of it with the bonus activities and research.

Best of all, this kit is Made in the USA.

Dr. Cool provided a complimentary kit for evaluation and an unbiased review.

Honest reviews on Glow Rocks Science Kit

I got this for my 8 year old daughter. She loves it, but honestly either the light is really weak, or the rocks don't glow much. I can hardly see them in the dark with the light shining on them. I might try a better black light to see if it helps.

The rocks certainly do not look like the illustration shown here. You can barely see any color.

She still likes it though.

My 8 y/o daughter loves collecting rocks and minerals. This item was on her xmas wishlist last year and her uncle got it for her. The kit was everything we hoped it would be. All the rocks are a fair size (about 1"-2" each) and react to UV nicely. The black light still works a year later! My daughter still loves getting these rocks out and making them glow.

The kit costs a bit more money than others you might come across, but it's well worth it for the quality. I had gotten my daughter a different glowing rocks kit elsewhere, for half the price, and it was garbage. The rocks were tiny and most of them didn't react to UV at all.

At first I was really impressed with the quality of the boards making up the pages of this book. That and the really vibrant colours that deepen as the water soaks into the page. Nothing like the 'magic' water paint books we have tried previously.

BUT, after just one use, my 3.5 year old son had coloured in a bit too hard with the supplied pen and it was only when the pages dried that we noticed that they were now covered with coloured scratches where the pen had damaged the surface of the pages.

I just feel it's a little expensive for something that was so easily damaged by a child's first use. If it were more affordable, I would give it a higher rating.

Perhaps better aimed at little girls who are a tad gentler when drawing!

Mirari Busy Buddy Toy Review

Customer Ratings:

Just received this Mirari Busy Buddy Toy and at first sight it looks like a cute toy with the puppy shape and colorful design! When opened it is even better because it is truly a toy that helps with cognitive, sensory and fine motor skills. My 18 month old is loving this toy and at first needed some help putting the cogs back on the correct shapes/colors but now can do it on her own. When the dial is turned the puppy's ears and eyes move and she loves laughing and smiling at that! It is also easy to clean and is proving hours of enjoyment!

I teach an integrated classroom of typical students and students with special needs (aged 2.5 to 5) and they all loved it. It engaged the students with fine motor and cognitive delays and they had much success with working the gears. There were also both boys and girls who were older than the target audience that enjoyed playing with itthey especially liked the moving ears. The toy was easy to clean, and still functions after the bleaching and rough play. I would prefer that the removable plastic pieces were solid and heavier for use in the classroom, but at home it is fine. I look forward to trying other toys from Mirari!

I just received this for my 17 month old daughter and she LOVES it. She's at the age where she's able to work on the shape sorting gears but I think it's great for younger ages too without that component. My (almost) 4 year old also loves to play with this.

Honest reviews on Mirari Busy Buddy Toy

My 19 month old son received this toy and it is a big hit. I like the learning opportunities in this toy. I like that he can learn about shapes, colors, movement and dexterity. I also like that it doesn't require any batteries! The Busy Buddy feels well constructed and durable. Also the colors are vibrant. The largest drawback to this toy is that pieces can easily get lost if not being constantly supervised. I would also recommend this toy for an older age range starting at about 15 months. Overall, I think my son will enjoy this toy for a long time.

I received this toy from Patch Products, all opinions are my own.

My 12 month old daughter just got this toy and she is fascinated by the moving eyes and ears. She loves to see them move. Her older 3 year old brother also loves it. He will turn the wheel to make the eyes and ears move and to get her to laugh. He loves taking apart the gears and putting them back in place. She tries to do the same thing, but is not successful yet. It is a very engaging toy and has been a fun addition to our toy collection.
