This is the first and only game my 20 month old is currently playing on his Little Leaps. At fist it seemed as though he didn't take much interest in it, but after a few times, he began asking to play and loves the characters and mix of live people/animals, animation and puppets. He'll play for 20-30 minutes before growing bored with it, but it seems almost each time he makes it a little further through the game. We've yet to make it through the whole thing, so im not sure of the full length.

We love this game. Our daughter loves seeing all the animals. The music keeps her dancing and interacting. It asks her to push a button often enough that she doesn't lose interest.

VTech - MobiGo Touch Learning System - Carry Case Review

VTech - MobiGo Touch Learning System - Carry Case
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I bought this case for the Mobigo and really liked some of the features. It is sturdy and strong enough to protect the items inside. I really liked the protective flap that covers the screen from getting scratched. There is a zipped pocket where you can store quite a few games I have four in there now and could easily double that amount. There are two elastic straps that hold the Mobigo securely in place. It is not too hard for my almost 6 year old to put the Mobigo in but a little tight to take out. I even have some trouble with getting it in and out because it's tight but I imagine it will get easier with use. Overall a good accessory and value.

I purchased a MobiGo for my nephew's third birthday. I thought he may be too young for the game, but he picked it up in no time. Plus, he loves the games which are very educational (Toy Story 3 is his favorite right now.) The game system is well worth the money and easy to use. This case is a "must have." A 3 year old boy is not the most gentle when it comes to toys so the case is wonderful. It stores his gaming system, along with a few games in a durable case. If you are going to spend the money on the system, I would strongly recommend the additional expense of getting a solid case, like this one.

durable case with enough pocket room inside for 4 or 5 games.

too bad it cant fit the ac adapter, but i like the strong, yet soft, outer shell that protects the video game. perfect for taking on trips.

the zipper opens up wide enough that you can actually play the game while it's still inside the case, with ease.

would have liked it if they had some cooler colors/designs though.

Honest reviews on VTech - MobiGo Touch Learning System - Carry Case

The Mobigo fits unbelievable tight in this thing. As in, it takes approximately 1 minute of fooling with it to get the thing in or out. I cannot imagine why on earth they created it so amazingly snug, especially for a device intended for small children. There is no way a young kid could use this without assistance. We still use it, to protect the Mobigo, but I (silently) curse the case every time I have to struggle with it.

BlinkyFish_Kit_X01
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I bought this kit from Marc Cryan through his Kickstarter project. It is the perfect size project to introduce young kids (and even adults) to all or one of basic electronics, soldering, and programming. My 11 year old daughter was curious but didn't know what to expect. She quickly got the hang of soldering after about 5 minutes (I've done a lot of soldering but I'm no expert either). She was very pleased to have accomplished that and have a working Blinky Fish in about 30 minutes. Since Mark provided a starter program you can run on your Arduino so you can see results immediately. That was two weeks ago. We haven't yet done the programming part of the project. This is where she can experiment with her own ideas for making it interactive. The nice part of that (I hope) is she can keep it simple and see results. Then when she's more confident she can make something very complicated. Yes, you can make interesting behavior and learn a lot with three lights and one button. I have complicated state machine ideas we could play with later but I don't want to spoil the self driven exploration part of it for her so I'll keep quiet for now.

Consider getting the "FishBowl" that is also for sale. I bought that too. It is optional but it will let you run your Blinky Fish plugged only into the battery powered FishBowl which is much smaller and more portable than your Arduino board that is probably plugged into your computer.

One final note about assembly. You almost can't go wrong except if you are not familiar with LEDs. They are not symmetrical like resistors and switches. Be sure to follow carefully the instruction Marc provides which show the orientation in the picture one LED leg is intentionally longer than the other. Maybe a better text explanation could have been provided in that step.

Have fun.

Reviews of Jill McDonald Kids Soft Book, Animal

Jill McDonald Kids Soft Book, Animal
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
This is a great book for little fingers! It is great for little ones that love to explore textures and flaps as many of the animals feature felt pieces that are moveable (i.e. the lion's mane, the panda's ears and hands). It is also has a more "attractive" look than some baby books, which makes it a win/ win (let's be honest, us mommies have to look at these toys all day, too!

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I feel like they could've made a few of the pages a little more interesting for little fingers instead of sewing all the pieces down. For example, the pages with the tiger, monkey, crocodile and elephant have no pieces that are made to be flaps, but they easily could've been. The tiger's hands or the elephant's ear, etc. Probably nit-picky, but that would take this book 5-star level.

Otherwise, I absolutely love this book and highly recommend it for babies during tummy time, for those learning to sit up, etc. It would also make a great gift since it's so cute ;)

I bought this handbell case for our 8 handbells. The case is good and should protect the bells sufficiently. I wish the case had all the bells separated, instead of two to a section, but for protecting children's bells, this is fine. I would buy this case again if I had more bells.

Since the bells just come in a little plastic box, this was a must and works very well. The case and dividers are well padded for optimal protection.

Honest reviews on Kids Play Case for 20-Note Handbells Holds 8, RB108 (Holds 8, RB108)

This bag is well constructed, the zippers work well, and it is just large enough to accommodate the bells. They fit snugly, so they don't clank against each other, but there is enough room to zip the bag easily. If you are going to buy the bells, buy the bag. It gives the bells more importance as musical instruments instead of just noisy toys.

We got this game with our new mobigo pink unit and it was immediately a hit with our 2 1/2 year old daughter. She needed a bit of help with some of the games, but is getting pretty good at the game quite quickly. So here is everything you wanted to know about this cartridge.

Like all mobigo games, it has two difficulty levels. For an adult, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two but for a kid the difference is quite significant. It has six games in it, featuring either Cinderella or Belle. My daughter would have loved Snow White in there, but she was happy with just the two. The game tells you how to play before every game, but there is a skip button if the player knows already. These are the six games featured in this cartridge.

Magic Clothes For Friends

This game features Cinderella making new clothes for her rat friends. The player gets to stretch a measuring tape, getting a purple highlighted number. The player then needs to choose which piece of cloth measures the same number of inches. Then one gets to trace with their finger to cut the material in the shape of a t shirt or sleeveless shirt. (this part is quite difficult to do, especially for an adult since the touchscreen is designed to be sensitive for little fingers)

Fixing Jewellery For the Ball

Here we get to see Cinderella's rat and bird friends. The rat friends roll some coloured beads onto the other side of the screen and the player has to flick it into the corresponding coloured basket in the corners of the screen. (my toddler finds this directional flicking a bit hard). Then, the player gets a sequence of beads on a necklace, missing a couple at the end. The player has to choose the correct coloured and sometimes shaped beads and place them on the necklace, therefore completing the sequence correctly.

Dancing At The Royal Ball

Here, Cinderella is dancing with the prince. Musical notes go up in the screen, and one has to touch them when they are highlighted. Then we get a directional arrow sequence to memorise, and press in correctly when it disappears, so Cinderella completes her dance with the prince.

Enchanted Books, Missing Letters

The little clock from Beauty and the beast is having some trouble in the library. In the first part, an alphabet book is missing some letters and one has to find and press them on the pop out qwerty keyboard (my daughter goes crazy for this game). Then, the player needs to rearrange some books alphabetically by switching books with each other to complete an alphabetically correct sequence.

Feeding Animals on the Terrace

Another memorisation game, there are some birds on the screen which hide away after a couple of seconds. The player needs to identify where they were before they hid by throwing bird seed in their original position. The player is sometimes asked to identify the smallest/biggest or tallest/shortest bird. Next, we get to dust off some snow off the birds just for fun.

Pictures In The Stars

Belle and the beast are in the terrace at night and she is counting the stars. The player needs to touch the stars while counting, before they go off the screen. After one is done counting, the player gets to identify shapes of some stars by tracing them with his/her finger. After the shape is identified, three objects pop up and the player presses the one that looks like that shape (like an egg is an oval) Seriously though, I cannot understand how a rose is a circle shape! But otherwise, this is my daughter's favourite game.

I'm always looking for the detailed reviews and unfortunately, there aren't many who take the time to do them. Hope someone appreciates the effort. I will be reviewing other Mobigo games shortly. Hope this helps!

My 9 year old daughter loves this game. I put her weekly spelling words in & she learns them while she plays the game. Usually in less than 3 days, she has learned all 20 !! It is well worth the money !! Especially for kids who have a hard time with or just don't like spelling.

This is the only Didj spelling game reccomended for 1st grade, so I bought it for my daughter. I wasn't sure if she would like it since she had never shown any interest in racing games before. However, I was more interested in giving her a game that was on her level. I was surprised that she has played her Didj more since she has gotten this game then she did since she got her Didj at Xmas. She still has some difficulty in game play (she isn't a big gammer in a family that is) but she is getting the hang of it. I love the fact that it gives her a hands on way to practice her spelling words. The graphics are decent considering that isn't why we bought the system. I am very happy with this game.

My son is in kindergarten but thoroughly enjoying this game. Of course, he enjoys the driving aspect. But, my favorite part is when I hear him sounding out words as he selects the correct letters to spell the words presented on the screen. When I check his DIDJ later, I learn that he is spelling at the first grade level or higher. It is exciting!

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Didj Custom Learning Game Didj Racing Tiki Tropics

The didj and it's games are excellent for education and fun. Tiki racing is very entertaining for my 5th grader, 3rd grader, and 1st grader. It is probably the best spelling aid out there. Like all didj games, you do need to be careful to keep it clean and not loose such a small thing (especially with young boys)Definitely worth the purchase to make spelling more fun!! (you can even program a different list for up to 3 different children according to their school spelling list) My boys and I love it!

This is a great toy because it is so versatile. You can use it as a puzzle or use the pieces alone for a variety of counting, matching, and sorting games. I would highly recommend all the Lauri toys; we have several and my youngest two kids (ages 3 and 6) enjoy all of them. We homeschool, and I keep these in a box of toys I only get out during school to keep my 3yo busy at the table. This keeps the toys special and keeps the pieces from getting lost.

I got both the alphabet and the number puzzle toys from Lauri and I'm pretty pleased with both of them.

Overall, I recommend both.

Honest reviews on Lauri Toys Number Play

This is an interesting toy. Our 22m old liked it a lot. When we opened it we took away most of the cards and gave our daughter only 3 cards. There are a lot of parts and we did not want them to get lost. Cards are not too large only about 2.5in by 4in. online picture made it look like these cards were 8in by 11in. Now that we played with it I am glad they are small. Our daughter likes the size. The problem that we had with this set is that the foam is too thin. I wish it was thicker. Cards are very soft. When our 22m old caries them around parts can come out. I would not give these cards to the kid and walk away. This toy is a lot of fun when you play with it together.

This seems like a simple toy that kids might get bored with, but no! It keeps the attention of kids from toddler age up to about 5. Great for counting, sorting, fine motor, vocabulary. It does have a lot of little pieces, but since my kids have been so engaged with it, and putting the pieces back in is the whole point, the kids have been amazingly self-monitoring about keeping track of the parts! Now on its 5th kid, my toddler is using 1, 2 and 3 and will move on to other numbers soon. Highly recommended-few toys offer this much learning and fun for the price.

My 6 year old and 3 year old really enjoy using this. It's large, durable, and can wipe clean with a damp cloth.

It stays on their little "play table" in the kitchen, near their dry erase board and magnets. It's one of those toys that will attract their attention, and their friends enjoy it, too.

The magnetic pen that is attached to the board has it's own "magnet" so when the "pen" is inserted back into it's resting area, it will actually "stick" there and not slip out.

I feel the price is worth it, as you cannot find anything else like this. It's money well spent if your child or children enjoy "busy work", or playing school, sorting, colors, counting, etc. I recommend this to anyone looking to buy a gift for a child age 2 and up, or for grandparents looking to purchase a "new" toy for their home for their grandkids!
