good foot model. Pretty accurate, though the articulations become pretty loose with a lot of movement/studying. It worked for me well enough in podiatry school.

We got these for a camping trip and they were a big hit with our kids! I like that the light only has the two simple on/off functions, rather than flashing as well (which drives me crazy). The elastic on the headlights were a bit big for being headlamps for kids, but if adjusted as far as they could go they fit the heads of our 3 & 4 yr olds just fine. Worth the price for sure!

Reviews of Math Whiz

Customer Ratings:

I have been an educator for 45 years. I ordered the Math Whiz many years ago for my students. Young learners typically need drill and repetition in order to master skills. The Math Whiz provides that practice while motivating students to "beat" their last score. The Math Whiz was so motivating and successful with my students that I purchased it over the years for all my grandchildren.

Buy TOMY Pic n' Pop Ball Blaster Baby Toy

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This toy does three things really. It clicks annoyingly when pushed or pulled. It picks up balls. It shoots out balls. Our toddler likes the shooting part the best. Pushing it around to hear the clicking doesn't interest him (or us), neither does rolling over the balls to collect them (you have to roll it over the ball just so or the ball scoots away.. usually under some furniture or other hard to reach place). Thus he doesn't really play with this toy on his own. However, if we sit there and load the balls into it for him, he happily launches them back at us for a while. Also, this toy is only about 16 inches tall and our 2 year old has to lean over considerable to push or pull it. It is a bit complicated for beginner walkers, but too short for experienced walkers. Would not recommend.

Thanks for reading, I hope this review was helpful!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Well, I got this for my son, but he's only a few months and won't be using this for a while. My daughters, on the other hand, are in love with this thing and use it daily. Now, I have often had qualms with toys like this (they are noisy and make a mess) and when I took it out of the box my wife made a shrieking noise because she thought it was one of those popping vacuum things that makes endless amounts of grating noise. Instead, this is a fun little ball shooter that serves as a ball picker-upper! It doesn't make a lot of noise (when it shoots the balls it is minimal) and it gets the kids active to chase after the balls because they like getting the shooter to pick them up. This keeps the mess contained (most of the time). So, I'm a fan. I hope the boy likes it when he's old enough to start walking (I'm sure he'll love it) but for now my older kids (who are 3 and 6) find it pretty entertaining!

TOMY Pic n' Pop Ball Blaster is a great toy for toddlers and younger children.

It launches balls from the unit and with press of a button ball is brought back in toy, so this is a ball thrower and a magic ball vacuum cleaner in one.

It's specially intended for toddlers, kids who just learn how to walk because it will get your child on the move and it's great that it can be used both indoors and outdoors.

We bought this toy for colleague's son birthday and he was delighted, he hasn't stopped playing for hours with it.

Fully recommended great product for your kid.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The idea behind this is great but it actually doesn't function very well. The balls don't pick up easily and you have to push too hard for little hands.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My son is a bit young to play with this toy but it has gotten a workout from our childcare provider's (in-home nanny) daughter who just turned two years old and immediately gravitated toward this toy.

--------------------

USE:

The Pic n' Pop Ball Blaster is a really neat idea. Your child/toddler is supposed to push the little toy around blasting the brightly colored balls out of the front and then run them over to pick them back up and do it all over again. The toy works exactly as intended and described, no complaints there. The annoying bit I mentioned comes in after the child has dispensed the balls. First the toy make a popping or clicking sound when pushed. Second, the balls will inevitably roll under a piece of furniture. Third, my dogs go absolutely crazy for this toy and run after the balls and then away with them. So just understand that you're getting a very parent-involved toy here.

--------------------

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE TOY:

(+) Seems well built and has withstood some toddler temper tantrums/abuse quite well.

(+) Colorful and really a cool toy/idea

(+) Good price

(+) Will keep your dog(s) entertained or terrified for hours

--------------------

WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THE TOY:

(-) I could do without the constant clicking/popping sound but it doesn't seem to bother the child

(-) Expect to spend a lot of time chasing the balls down and moving furniture to get to them

--------------------

CONCLUSION:

Neat toy that annoys adults, go figure. Still a lot of toys probably do that. Buy it for your kid already, they'll have fun. Recommended!

I picked this up on a whim for our daughter for Christmas. It's cute as a button and the box is a nice quality. The animals are super cute and a little funky. The colors are vivid and fun. Our daughter was pleased and added a few other of her items in the box. The product dimensions for this kit are not listed correctly. I'm not sure of the actual size of the box but I'd say it's approximately 9-10 in height and width. The dimensions shown must be for the diary that comes in the box.

I am a math teacher and I was looking for a manipulative to help my students develop a better understanding of equivalent fractions. These worked well especially with an Elmo to project their image on a white board. The bright colors also made for a better visual. The tray would have been nice to help keep things aligned when demonstrating equivalent fractions but it really isn't needed. Overall, I would definitely recommend this for a math classroom or for anyone learning fractions.

My First LeapPad Book: Once Upon a Rhyme Review

Customer Ratings:

This book covers 21 nursery rhymes, and is much nicer than the book which goes with the regular Leap Pad. Except for one, the songs are sung by Leap, Tad, or Lily, and the childrens voices are a vast improvement on the quavering high pitched voice on the other book. Nice responses, and games for your toddler - my 2 1/2 year old really likes the book, and liked to sing along. They can learn about pretending to be a rhyme character, and also learn rhyming words which are highlighted as vocabulary when they point to objects and in the games. As compared to the Mother Goose Songbook, there is no option to listen to just one instrument at a time, or even to an instrument only version, but that is not much missed for a toddler.

4 stars on the durability, since the leap pad as a whole is much too sensitive to be a toddler toy! This one also shuts off if the cartridge is jiggled, though the pen seems slightly sturdier than the green LeapPad, and its great that the flip books snap on to the pad for easier play.

My daughter takes speech therapy and one of the things they work on is rhyming. She just could not seem to get this concept down. I was at Toys R Us and since she loves her My First Leap Pad so much I was going to get her a new book. I saw this one and thought we will give it a try. By that afternoon something had clicked and she understand how to rhyme! It is now 6 months later and this is both hers and my favorite of the books that are out there for this system. I would have to say that I prefer the Leap books over the character books such as Dora and Disney Princess they just don't seem to be as interesting or educational. If you are going to add to your Leap Pad library this is a must!

Honest reviews on My First LeapPad Book: Once Upon a Rhyme

The toy is fun and educational but the cartridges are easily lost and the pen stopped working after 3 months, probably because my kid was rough with it. If your child is tough on toys, this one won't last long.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for My First LeapPad Book: Once Upon a Rhyme

...but it wasn't one of her favorites. It more or less introduces kids to a number of nursery rhymes, teaching them some reading, singing and rhyming skills. Nevertheless, with regards to learning these three skills, my daughter much preferred the "There's a Wocket in My Pocket" My First LeapPad Book. This latter book is based on the work of Dr. Seuss, who is still the master when it comes to entertaining kids as you educate them about reading and rhyming.

No long winded review. I just want to give my vote of confidence for this nifty little toy. I was a Batman kid (of the Tim Burton era) and now my 4yo boy is following suit. Batman toys abound in our small house, making walking dangerous to those who don't watch where they step. When my wife saw this, she snatched it up simply because of the Dark Night Rises motif. What she ended up doing was giving our boy what I believe is the most important toy he got this Christmas. For 2 years, he has played with a couple of Leapfrog computers that have helped him immensely with the alphabet and counting while engaging his concentration with VERY basic problem-solving puzzles. This product has taken that to the next step with more diverse and challenging games that should, in my estimation, keep him engaged for another two years. There are several games of basic arithmetic, spelling, and logic. Also, unlike the Leapfrog computers, the keyboard is laid out like a real one and not the alphabet in order (which was perfect for learning it) and there are a few keyboard-skill development games. Portability It's portable enough as is, however the screen can be removed for a different set of games in touch-screen mode.. novel. Gotta go.. wife screaming :)

I purchased this crocodile for my 13 month old baby boy, for Christmas. It is a beautiful toy. I keep it in our leaving room. I love the vibrant colors and the fact it is a very "nature friendly" product, safe for my baby. I also love the fact that when he grows out of it, the crocodile can be removed from the base and just be used as a pillow :) My son is still a bit too young to be interested in it, and he does not walk yet, but he often climbs on it and if I sit him in it, he is just rocking and happy. It may take him a few more weeks but it is coming. It is also very well designed and built, the different fabrics are nice and the overall quality is more than great. The wood is also wonderful, so much better than plastic!!! Anyway, I would purchase it again. It is simply a gorgeous toy!

We bought this for our 9 month old son (disclaimer: he is in the 97% for height and weight so please do take that into account) for Christmas. He LOVES it. He fits the rocker fine and can lean back on the tail if he likes (although he is fine grabbing the handles). It is very low on the ground, so if he falls off, the impact would be minimal. He is strong enough to rock it back and forth even at his age. It is a beautiful, well-built toy. Feel confident buying it.

Cheap Fisher-Price Fun-2-Learn Computer Cool School

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $44.99
Today's Bonus: 10% Off

We have tried a few 'early computer learning toys' and found them wanting. This is the first one I have seen that is properly interactive, bug free, and well built.

My kid is only 2, so he is officially too young. But frankly, he has mastered the paint part of it already; he is quickly learning the rest.

A few technical points:

1. Yes, its like a USB keyboard but it does not act as a keyboard if the software is not running. So, the kid is not going to be able to mess with your PC outside of the software--a good thing. The software auto-launches and closes with the on-keyboard "power button" so the kid can start it up without help. My kid is 2 yrs old and learned that fast.

2. The tablet is like a tablet, not a mouse. Its position on the screen is absolute rather than relative. It might take the adult (me) a bit to get used to. My kid finds it easy, but he doesn't have 20 years of habit to overcome :).

3. The docs are evasive about where the kids drawings are saved. Here is the answer for Windows XP users:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Fisher-Price\Computer

Cool School\US\User0\Base

The 'Application Data' directory is normally hidden. Substitute 'User0' with the relative position on the log in screen. The files are regular .png graphics files. Fair warning: don't change these files. The software won't expect that. This is simply a hint for making a copy of them to email to friend/grandparents :).

If there is any downside to this thing, it is that it contains a limited amount of content. The kid hasn't explored all of it yet, but I suspect I'll end up buying the software expansions.

---------------

FOLLOW-UP: A few friends of mine have tried running this product with Windows Vista. Very buggy. I only now recommend this for XP users. Typical of many toy manufacturers, they simply don't get software. It is not a "make once and forget about it" thing. You have to keep and plan for updates as the industry changes. The price they sell it to distributors for should account for those future costs.

I bought this when it was first released for my 2 1/2 year old. I hooked it up to my old Dell with Windows XP (this is not Mac compatible and I converted to iMac in Dec). I bought the additional Dora & Diego software, and the Clifford software will be installed on her 3rd birthday in 10 days.

She LOVES this thing! I LOVE THIS THING! It keeps her busy, and she easily mastered all the navigating. The first month we had it, the old Dell had no sound she still managed to use it and enjoy it in silence. Now, I almost wish I hadn't gotten the sound fixed! HA!

I'll definitely purchase the additional software to keep the variety in the activities.

The only problems I've encountered: sometimes a warning pops up that the keyboard cannot be detected. I just unplug it and plug it back in. Problem fixed. The cards that are the templates for writing are very slick and impossible to stack neatly get a small basket or something for them.

I've found it quite durable.

The best feature for parents is that it requires a password to exit the program, so if you install this on your main computer, the child cannot get out of the Cool School program and into your computer! Brilliant!

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter and although she enjoys playing it, I really question the educational value. There are different subjects for her to explore, but the product is not really teaching her anything substantial. We have a lot of Leapfrog products and I have to say that this product does not teach her anywhere near as much as those do. Some of the product is hard to use as well the letter writing part seems like a great idea but in reality it is next to impossible to actually recreate the letters and not have them look like disjointed pointy things (that look nothing like the actual letters). My daughter got pretty frustrated with that activity and now doesn't even try that one anymore.

My niece has the ClickStart from Leapfrog and now I'm wishing I'd bought that instead it's really helped her learn how to spell 3-letter words and it's great that there's so much focus on computer skils too (another thing the Cool School does not do).

All in all, definitely not worth my $.
