I bought this toy for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas and I love it.She likes it as well. I love how you can plug it into the TV and since she is still too young to read on her own I program it where it reads the story to her. She loves the story's and I think its a great and educational toy for children 3 and older. As my daughter gets older and learns how to read I will program it so she can read the words on her own. The only con about this that they don't have enough story cartridges

Reviews of Alma's Design Bible Heroes

List Price: $29.99

This book features a page on each of the following scenes which are labeled at the top of each page as follows: Moses and the Ten Commandments, David and Goliath, Jonah and the Whale, Joseph and his coat of many colors, Daniel in the Lion's Den, and Noah's Ark. I don't know why there isn't a sheet about Jesus or anyone from the new testament but there isn't. Each page has an interactive activity, sometime just a figure, sometime a figure and another object.

Each figure is either attached to the page with velcro, or is tethered with a short cord, and some have both methods of attachment (why each method was picked in a particular situation, I can't really figure out). I personally would prefer if they were all attached with a cord so none of the figures could be lost, but they are not.

What is interactive: Moses and the Ten Commandments has a detachable Moses and a tethered Roman Numeral commandments. David and Goliath has a detachable David with a cloth rock attached to the David by a cord which velcros onto Goliath's head. Jonah and the Whale has Jonah in the Whale's mouth and you can pull Jonah out but he is still tethered to the whale. Joseph is velcro-ed into his coat which is attached to the page, but you can take him out. Daniel in the Lion's Den has a lion you can take out of the den but it is tethered. Noah's Ark has a pair of elephants you can slide up and down a wider strip to make approach the ark.

The book zips closed and has nice bright printed colors. It has a carry handle and seems sturdy. All the attached figures make it a bit tough to zip closed (not for an adult, but for a child) and about four inches thick at its widest part. While I was writing my review all of my children wanted to play with the book, so you know that is it appealing to them.

I got this book for a few cents less than double digits, with free shipping so if you can find it for that price I would definitely pick one up. If you like the Alma's Design Goodnight Book (I own an earlier version of the same thing), and you are interested in sharing Bible stories with a youngster, this is a good bet.

PlanToys Fun Stacker Review

My 3 year old son loves this toy. He imagines it as many different things and enjoys building with it. My 10 month old also enjoys playing with it.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

This toy is a must! Why?

1. It's beautiful, like a work of art. And any way the child "stacks 'em up" looks cool and creative!

2. It's a stacking toy, but because of the lovely shapes, colors and alternate holes, the child can be creative in how he/she stacks the parts.

3. The toy is exquisitely well-made, durable.

4. It's non-toxic and made out of eco-friendly rubber wood. (It's not rubber!) I cannot say enough about Plan Toys. (see bottom of my post)

5. It's a keepsake or heirloom hand-made-down.

6. The pieces are light enough and shaped in such a way that when the child throws the pieces (and he/she will throw them at some point) they should not severely injure anyone.

7. Read the other reviews for more reasons why to buy this toy.

I am so glad I bought this for my son. He started playing with it when he was 12 months old. It was a tad more complicated for him than his regular stacking toy. However, he is now 14 months old and has learned how to stack this slightly more complex stacking toy. He also uses the pieces individually as a cell phone. And occasionally puts the pieces into his dump truck and has the truck cart them around.

Overall, it's one of the best purchases we have made for our son. I love that it has no bells and whistles and yet he finds it interesting and stimulating.

Here's my 2 cents on Plan Toys:

Plan is the only Eco-friendly toy manufacturer to pass and receive the E0 Standard certification (E-Zero is the highest safety standard of exposure to formaldehyde in wooden products or toys). Based in Thailand, Plan Toys supports safe working environments, emphasizes sustainable development, guarantees fair wages, offers no discrimination and no use of child labor. As well, their toys are made of replenished sustainable Rubberwood* in their own factory so they can control the entire process from wood selection, to manufacturing, to shipping. A natural kiln-dry process is used in place of chemical treatment to preserve and stabilize the wood thus making the products preservative-free. Only natural, non-toxic water-based dyes are used. The paints have been tested by independent labs and found to be safe for children and for the surrounding environment.

* After the economic life of the rubber tree (30 years) the latex that it yields becomes extremely low and the planters then fall the tree to plant new ones. So, unlike other woods that are cut down for the sole purposed of producing furniture, Rubberwood is used only after it completes its latex producing cycle and dies.

My grandson (18 mo old) loves this stacker! It is very durable, bright and well made. I recommend this to all......

My daughter is 17 months and she has been playing with this for about 11 months now. At first she would just play with the colored pieces and crashed them together, then she eventually learned how to stack them using the middle hole, but now she's learning to use the holes on the ends. It's also been great for teaching colors and she knows red, blue, and yellow. The post that they stack on may be a little dangerous to leave around if you have younger kids (my daughter tripped and fell right onto it once, that could have been REALLY bad). I still love this purchase though and have bought it for my friend's kids too.

This math kit is a parent initiated activity and can be fun. I introduced to it to my 2nd grader and we played for an hour.

The workbook is great but again needs parent involvement. So if you can't spend the time it is not a good idea.

The child wraps a string around the numbered plastic strip. The equation is on one side and the answer is on the back. As the string goes around the child has a chance to think about the answer then find it and match it correctly. It helps to have at least two at a time doing this, then it's a completion and a contest. Use it with a child that needs a hands-on approach to learning. But remember you need to be involved.

I got these for my 6 yr old. He loves these and couldn't put them down the first day they arrived. He loves the timed exercises and coloring in the chart for successful practices. The lessons in the book are pretty basic, but over all this is a great tool for mastering these important facts. We love it!!

This is a great toy. I have two children who are 6 and 3. They both enjoy playing with this toy. I also enjoy playing with this toy. My 6 year old would definitely like to have more in order to make more complicated shapes/structures. Overall a very cool toy.

This may be the best toy ever.

The parts are well made. The box is pretty small, but when I started working with them, there were plenty to have fun with. The magnets are strong enough to make structures, but you have to build the structure carefully, so it is well braced.

This size set gives you plenty to get started with, but you will need more to satisfy your craving for larger structures. There are some videos on YouTube which are great, but have monstrous size sets.

I suppose that when my 6 year old granddaughter comes over, I will let her play with them...

I am really pleased with this toy. My 9 yo son has played with it several times since receiving it for Christmas and will play with it for hours, no exaggeration. He likes to make different shapes with it and unfold them then ask me what shape it becomes when put back to 3D. And yes he is a normal child who enjoys video games more than I care to have him play. I was also very happy that they arrived much earlier than promised. I was told it would be early January (they were shipped from the UK) but we got them before Christmas! I believe I will be ordering more so he can build on this set. His birthday is right around the corner.....

Best Deals for VTech Nest and Learn Animals

I bought this as a gift for a younger child but my son who is almost 2.5 had to keep it! He loves the animals and keeps saying their names as he stacks them. The pieces are pretty easy to get on the base and you can either nest or stack them. If you nest them you can hear colors, shapes or numbers info for each one when it's placed on the base. However if you stack them the cow on the bottom is the only one that makes noise. Also, I found that when stacking them they aren't that sturdy so a younger child might get frustrated, though this isn't a problem for my son since he has more developed coordination. He loves knocking the pieces over anyway. If you don't have nesting cups then I think this is a great purchase because it's a fun take on a simple toy. They store nicely on the base too so it doesn't take up much room. I am happy with my purchase!

LeapFrog Count And Draw Review

List Price: $19.99

Today's Bonus: 24% Off

My 4 year old son received this as a gift. He knows his numbers but needed practice writing them before starting kindergarten. This toy works better than any trace pad, it lights up behind the drawing area so my son learned each step the proper way and then could see his work after he was finished. He enjoys that he can see the number he has written without the dots underneath but like to have the dots as a guide. When he has finished there is positive reinforcement with fireworks or clapping and counting.

The toy has 3 modes. 1 for numbers, one to teach your child to draw shapes and then a game mode where it does some simple math equations. Overall this is well worth the price and can be used in the car or to keep your child entertained during an hour long basketball practice for their sibling :)

Only con I can think of is the sound. It's loud or really loud! I WISH companies would create a reverse sound button. My son automatically slides the on button all the way down IMO that setting should be the lowest volume and the middle setting the higher but oh well.

There's not a ton to do on this learning toy but it does help with counting and learning numbers and how to draw them. I worry about the durability of that strange film-slide-erase-thingy that I grew up with.. I didn't think they were still around after 20+ years.

What's important is that my son does still play with it daily after 2 weeks since his birthday. He already knows his numbers but he needs to learn to draw them a little better and this does the job.

I'd recommend, plus it's inexpensive.

We play games all the time at home and as a speech therapist I use them daily in therapy. This one is cute for my low functioning kids. It is good for those working on fine motor skills too since they have to pop the animal pieces together. Descriptive language is encouraged when silly combinations are formed.

This is my son's favorite board game, he plays it over and over! It's simple and fun and doesn't require reading skills. My husband and I both enjoy playing it with him. I would say it's probably my favorite game of his also. Each game takes about 10 minutes, but the more players you have, the longer it will take.

I was surprised to see the other reviews that commented on the difficulty of connecting the pieces together. My son goes to occupational therapy for fine motor skill development delays and he fits the pieces together easily.

my dughter loves this she is 4 but she does have a hard time not just petting the animals together

Honest reviews on Educational Insights Crazy Creatures

We bought this toy for my 3 year old who LOVES farm animals. He has other matching games that he loves, so we thought he would enjoy this one. But, it's been way too difficult for him.

First, to play the board game itself, the rules are too complicated for him. Then, the physical part of joining the animals together is tough for his little hands.

We've been playing our own version so we can try to get our money's worth out of the game. I wouldn't recommend this game unless you have an older child who is patient enough to follow directions and has better fine motor skills.

I think a better game for little ones would be one I bought that comes in an egg crate. It only has two parts so it's easier to match. Sorry-I can't remember the name or brand.

I bought this and was very excited to put it in my baby girl's Easter basket. I ended up returning it and the seller wasn't great to work with. The description said that it had a chime sound when shaken. Yeah, if you shake it as vigorously as you would shake a can of spray paint! But what baby is going to do that? When I told them it didn't chime, they wrote back that they had received my return but that there was nothing wrong with it. I had to argue with them to get my refund. I wouldn't recommend buying this and definitely not this seller.
