Reviews of 3B Scientific VP760/1 Female Chimpanzee Skull (Pan Troglodytes)
Much more realistic than the laughable bone clones (bondo mystery ape) model that is most commonly available. This one looks more like the real thing.

Best Goodie Games - ABC Cookies Deals
This is a great game and lots of fun, but there were no letter C cookies. We cannot play as the game was intended to be played.

I bought this item as a tool to teach my son his ABCs. He is just a little over 3 years old and absolutely loves these cookies! Within two weeks he was able to recognize his lower case letters and recite the ABCs. He loves that they are shaped like cookies and he pretend eats them throughout our learning time. This item was worth every penny because my son loves to play with them and learn. It was worth every penny!Best Deals for Goodie Games - ABC Cookies
My 2 year old loves dumping out the container into various containers and carrying them around. My 5 year old likes to pretend they are cookies and we also review letters while playing. It has games included, but we have not played yet. Would recommend for versatility.Honest reviews on Goodie Games - ABC Cookies
Santa brought this for my 3 year old. My son likes all of the activities, and enjoys the game that involves the number spinner most. :) The cookies and cards are fun and colorful. My only critique is that I wish there were a few more spelling games. I can probably make these myself, but they won't be as cute as the cards and pictures that come with the game. If I were to buy it again, I would probably do so when my son is a little younger and still learning letter identification, so that he could get more use out of those activities.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Goodie Games - ABC Cookies

Reviews of Collect and Build Robo Battlers Series Flash
This is the first build-your-own-robot type of toy/product my son has tried and he just love, love, LOVES it. Bought it for his birthday and he had it assembled in like 30 minutes. We love knex and the addition of a motor that can make things move is a win win for my creative kiddo. Highly reccomend this and will be purchasing more of the robots in this series.I bought a few of these for my 6-year old daughter, who loves k'nex and robots. These seemed like the perfect combination, and they are. Her little fingers have a hard time slipping the "full size" k'nex into the smaller pieces, but other than that, she did a great job following the instructions (entirely in pictures, so no reading barrier here) and building the bot. The pieces do fall off fairly easily with play, but that just means you get to rebuild it again, which is half the fun. We haven't tried combining the bots yet, but we already have lots of ideas for using the motor in other projects, which means this toy has added a lot of value to the k'nex sets we already own.

littleBits Sound Trigger Reviews
My 8 year old grandson loves his littleBits. I've sent him sets and pieces and they intrigue him and keep him interested for long periods of time. They are well made and do what is promised. They teach science while sparking imaginative activities. The only negative is the expense. I hope, like with many electronics, the price decreases in time.

Buy PlanToys PlanCity Figure 8 Train Set
Purchased this set because I have purchased other items from this environmentally responsible company. Everything I've purchased has been of good quality and construction, and non toxic. My 2 yr old grandaughter loves playing with it, I have since bought their play mat and track extension set. I highly recommend this toy and this company.

Cheap TimeBuddy
I bought this for my 5 year old son, who has a tendency to dawdle and get sidetracked in his morning and nighttime routines, making him late and creating tension between him and me or his dad. When the TimeBuddy arrived, he was very excited about it, and I loved the activity book and loads of repositionable stickers. The product is cute and appealing for a young child. The major disappintment is that this is really a clock that covers a 24 hour period, and you are only given less than an inch per hour in which to place the stickers, In other words, I had to cram the potty, breakfast, getting dressed, and toothbrush stickers side by side in one little segment. This really accomplished nothing for me, as he would not know that he was supposed to be finished with all four until the hand moves to the "leaving for school" sticker--and by then it's too late. And then the hours when he is at school and sleeping take up huge amounts of unused space. What I needed was something that would allow me to give him 5-10 minute increments in which he would need to complete each little morning task and then move on to the next. This is probably my fault, as I opted for TimeBuddy over "On Task On Time" timer because of the HUGE price difference, free shipping and reusable stickers. Now I may need to shell out the cash anyway. TimeBuddy would be better suited to a person who has many daily events spread out throughout the day, or to help your child recognize a general daily routine, such as breakfast, playtime, naptime, chore time, supper, and bedtime. It could work great for a preschool classroom or a young homeschooling child who cannot yet tell time but needs to know the daily routine. It's not really as helpful if you have a child in school all day. If you need to manage minutes in helping your child stay on task and move nio a timely manner from one small task to the next, check out the On Task On Time Timer. Much more pricey, but the only thing out there I have found so far that fits the bill.

We bought this for our son in hopes that it could function as a sort of visual schedule/reminder. I was surprised that the clock hands didn't actually function, and the button on the front shorted out after two months. The stickers also peeled and curled, wouldn't stick properly, and fell off at the slightest provocation. Essentially it wound up being a $40 toy for my son instead of being any actual help for scheduling. Now it's mostly a frustration because it shorted out, so we'll probably be tossing it. I had very high hopes for the product, it just fell really short of my expectations.Best Deals for TimeBuddy
Timebuddy is an excellent product. I If you get one for your child, you can tell them you are getting them a toy, but what you are really getting is the little helper for yourself. I have a four year old daughter and got her a Timebuddy about couple months ago and we all are extremely happy about it. She thinks its a toy, because she customized it herself, chose all the activity stickers and we recorded the messages together. She keeps it on her dresser and instead of asking me what to do next, she goes to her room, looks at the clock and then tells me" Mommy, its time to take a bath" or "Mommy its time to go to school". I find it amazing. Even if it eliminates half of the "Is it time yet?" questions for your child, I think it is worth every penny. The Timebuddy is easy to use, very colorful and very kid and parent friendly. I think there should be at least one Timebuddy in every household.Honest reviews on TimeBuddy
Very fast shipment from this seller. Our kids love this product. This product is a good tool for teaching our children to make the best use of their time. It creates a visual representation of the passage of time throughout the day and what they are suppose to be doing each time the hand is pointing to a chore. They listen to this toy more than they listen to me ! Even our 22 month old boy loves it! Good Product!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for TimeBuddy
was disappointed that ours didn't work and there was no more available. Though it couldn't teach time properly I was going to use it as a alarm for grandson during the day to stop and eatTuesday, October 14, 2014
Best Dinosaur Train - Dino Fun Buddy Deals
My son got this 3 years ago for his birthday, he LOVED that show. He still plays with it, to see if he remembers all the dino facts. My daughter who wasn't even born then, now plays with it. It has lasted, and still works well. Educational, and very cute.I got this toy for my grandson. He loves Dinosaur Train. However, he and his friends get frustrated trying to insert the plastic cards. I should have waited until he is five but then maybe he won't like the show as much. I even had trouble getting the cards to insert.

Cheap Wee Gallery Art Flash Cards for Baby - Pets Collection
My little guy loved these when he was 1 to 3 months old. He eventually lost interest, but there was a period of time when the only thing that would stop his crying was to set one of these cards in his crib to look at. I would also prop them up in his stroller bassinet when we went for walks. He would look at them and flail his arms to his heart's content for 10 minutes at a time, on occasion. They worked so well that I bought them as gifts for other friends who were expecting.

These cards are great for tummy time! I just put them up and she stares at them while she's doing tummy time! It's a great way for her to strengthen her vision. They are very sturdy as well.

Reviews of Haba Duckduck Clutching Toy
My 6-month-old received this as a Christmas present. It was cute and we liked that it was made of wood. But after a few weeks of playing with it, teething on it, and carrying it around in the diaper bag it fell apart. It is made of small pieces, so it would be very unsafe if it fell apart while a baby was playing with it. I am very disappointed.

My son started playing with this toy a lot when he was 3 months old. It was one of the first toys he could easily pick up off the floor or a tray. Now, at 6 months it is still a favorite toy he loves to teethe on it and hold it. It is non-toxic so I feel very comfortable with him putting it in his mouth. We have traveled to many play-dates, the park, etc. with it in our bags and it is very sturdy.Thursday, October 2, 2014

15" Handheld Brass Telescope with Wooden Box: Nautical Pirate Scope Review
When my 9 year old son opened this gift, I thought he was going to burst. It is by far his favorite gift. He carries it around with him wherever he goes. The brass telescope is heavy and focuses by adjusting the length of the extension slightly. The handle is wrapped in leather, which is hand-sewn together at the seam. The box that it came in is excellent quality as well--nicely finished with smooth seams. I find this gift to be a steal for the quality. If you are looking for a gift with an authentic, antique, pirate feel with high quality of craftsmanship, this is the gift to get.
They shipped it immediately and it arrived in perfect condition. I bought it as a sorta salty accessory on me desktop, but this morning at daybreak i went out to the bay and spotted me first lovely lonely mermaid on the rocks some distance away. I was able to observe her unnoticed and the telescope was strong enough for me to see the scales on her tail.
Highly recommended.
ps.
the telescope works by pulling in or pushing out the tubes until if focuses. If you are interested in top quality optics in order to, say, watch an eagle snag a salmon, this is not the right telescope for you ... but if you want to snag approving looks directed toward you that say "what a cut of the canvas that old salt makes", (or something like that) and still get a reasonably close up and clear view of the things you seek then you will be a happy sailor with this spyglass.

It really worked like a telescope. Once I learned how to focus it, I was impressed. It felt like brass, smelled like brass, it is brass. Not heavy guage metal, but resonable, it is a toy. A useful toy, but a toy. I gave it to my grandson, showed him how to adjust the focus and now his dad takes it to football games, but the boy gets to play with it to. So it is a useful toy for young and the not so young. I did have to reassembly it when it arrived, but that was simple and gave me a chance to clean the lenses inside.Sunday, September 14, 2014
Reviews of Bulk Fossils - Genuine Ammonites - 50+ pieces - 1 lb from Dinosaurs
When I ordered this, I was unsure what or how many I would be receiving. When they arrived, I was very pleased. I got well over 50 fossilized ammonites in a variety of sizes. Most were very rough and often still had bits of the matrix attached. They varied in color and pattern, and some contained a variety of minerals. A select few were in near-perfect condition, but most had minor chips. The image is representative of the nicer ones. About a quarter of them were pieces, but they were still attractive. A good cleaning worked wonders. This was the sort of thing you would find on sale in bags at a local rock shop. Great for a party, a classroom, or a 'fossil dig' with students. They may also be useful in art projects or in making jewelry, and I bet a science-minded kid (or adults) would love some. A great buy for anyone who likes fossils.Needed these for a fossil lab. Great assortment, more natural state than "polished"products. Kids were able to see actual fossils as they would be found in rock layers. Kids loved it, thanks!

Best LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game Thomas & Friends Deals
We just got this game and I have to say it's a hit with both the children and myself. (My children are boy and girl; almost 4 and almost 6).
One of the features I like is that there are places for three different people to sign in. Some of the other games have just one place and everyone else is "guest". Not terribly useful if you are trying to accumulate points.
With this Leapster Book you have five basic activities. The games have two levels. Level One is pretty much on the preschool level, while Level Two seems to be geered more for Kindergarteners. Level Two of the Making Tracks with Thomas game, for example, involves simple mathematical equations.
Story Options
There are two story options.
With the "Read with Me" option, the narrator reads the story with help from our Train friends.
With the "Read and Play" option the story does not progress without you clicking on either the forward or backward arrows. This version of the story lets you click on characters to see what they have to say, and there are also games interspersed to keep little ones from getting bored. (Valuable Blue tickets are hidden here.) You can also click on individual words and hear them pronounced.
***Games***
Harolds' Barrels
The storm has scattered drums and crates all over the harbor. Using the arrow pad (and the A-button when you are over the right crate) you. This game teaches listening skills, letter recognition and work building.
Cranky's Cargo
Cranky has to load cargo onto the right cars. The challenge here is to get the right cargo in the right hold. Number sequences, patterns and skip counting are taught here.
Making Tracks with Thomas
Tracing the track, you take Thomas to the correct location. Children do pre-writing practice (tracing the track) and learn numbers. On Level Two they will be using equations.
Pocket Watch
Your child can learn about clocks and time using Sir Topham Hatt's pocket watch.
Train Depot
Elsewhere you earn red and blue tickets. This is where you spend them, adding extra trains (you start out with Thomas), additional track (you begin with just a circular track), and special features such as a water tower, chocolate factory, etc.
Children learn/practice counting, and one supposes the value of money.
Five Stars. Graphics are typical of LMAX. The game features our favorite Steamies plus Harold and Sir Topham Hatt. Children have the opportunity to learn about time, money, numbers, patterns, and telling time. There are two levels of play.

My son loves this game for Leapster. It has a great Cranky the Crane game that teaches patterns. It also has a Harold The Helicopter game that teaches to put together 3 letter words. And the best game is tracing the track using the pen. It has helped my 3 year old to write letters on his own because now he has the hang of using the pen and tracing. All the games give tickets that are used later to purchase all their favorite Thomas friends and tracks to build their own railroad. Plenty of fun and they do not even know they are learning definately worth the money.Best Deals for LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game Thomas & Friends
My 4yr old son loves this game. It is great for teaching patterns and simple math.

This is a really great game. My son loves to find all the hidden blue tickets within the story. He seems to prefer doing that over playing the games. The tracing the tracks game is a little hard for him because it seems a little touchy. We have about 8 leapster games total between my 3 and 5 year old sons. My 3 year old likes his Finding Nemo game the best but this comes in second!
