My son is 20 months and has been fascinated with "buckles" since he turned a year. He loves to buckle car seats, high chairs and anything else he can find! Thankfully, he doesn't know how to unbuckle yet! I decided to search Amazon for a "buckle toy" as Amazon has everything!! Well, this "Buster" the buckle toy came up. While it is a little pricey, my son loves it! I first introduced it during his 18 month check-up at the pediatrician. The doctor asked me what this toy was and said "I need to buy 10 for the office." He was amazed at how engaged my son was with the toy and it has been a great "life-saver" toy ever since. We bring it in the car, in restaurants or other places I'd like to keep my son busy and entertained quietly. Love this toy!

Honest reviews on Buckle Toy "Buster"

My 15 month old grandchild enjoys putting buckles together, like on his stroller and high chair. To have a number of buckles in a handy format is quite clever. He also likes the face where he can point to different parts for identification.

This keeps my 18 month old busy in her car seat or grocery cart. Some of the buckles are easier than others so now that she has mastered some others are still challenging. It's small size makes it an easy toy to bring places.

Review of Ertl John Deere Shape Sorter, Pink

I bought this for my baby cousin and its SO adorable!! Way cuter then the old blue and red ones from the old days. I love that it has a handle so its easy for kids to carry around with all sorts of other goodies. Very well made, large pieces for young children. I also love that its something John Deere that's pink... not as easy to find as you'd think! A big hit with kids and adults alike!

I bought this as a gift for a 10 month old. She has not yet grasped the concept of putting the shapes through the appropriate holes, but she loves pulling them out of the container and tossing them around. It's a sturdy product and the shapes are a good fit for her little hands. The latest game is tossing them and seeing their little dog run off with the shapes. I believe the toy is sturdy enough so that it will be available when she's ready for the shape sorting. The lid to the box comes off and on easily yet it stays on firmly when you put the toy back on the shelf for the next play time.

As a scientist mom you'd think I could easily get baking soda and vinegar from the kitchen and do these experiments without a stupid kit.

However I found that having specific "equipment" (test tubes) and "materials" engaged the interest of my kids. And most importantly, step by step suggestions for what experiments to do and what to say about them, helped me make this both interesting and educational for my kids.

My kids (3 and 4) went wild testing everything in the fridge to see if it contains acid (and thus if it would make baking soda fizz); they liked that they could guess from sourness and then test their predictions.

Ever since then my kids keep pestering me to do more chemistry. That's pretty significant. They make up (often quite wrong) theories about why different liquids fizz or mix the way they do. They got thinking about the fact that this is a question that can be asked, or that demands an explanation. To me that is a huge educational value.

Overall you could easily do the same things with kitchen materials and a well designed plan, but the kit makes it easy.

I was a little disapointed with this kit. We have seen better. I have to say that it does have educational notes in with each experiment to help teach what is going on. I was expecting a wider variety of experiments and more props. Kids love most of all to mix things and there were no droppers or little scoops to allow them to do that. The "chemicals" were all in opaque silver lined bags so they were hard to pour and impossible to get a hand in to dig contents out meaning that mom had to pour it all into the one measuring spoon taking some of the fun out of it all. A different kit we had purchased came with test tubes, droppers, measuring cups, little scoops etc. and they had more fun when they were able to do more things themselves! It's not a bad product just looks more involved from the box than it really is.

After attempting hands-on science by using a curriculum manual with my homeschooled children, I finally realized that I needed a "kit" that was open-and-go. And this kit was my answer!

Yes, there are items in the box that one would find in one's own pantry or cupboard, but I appreciate that everything is already there.

I used to use a curriculum, which claimed that all hands-on science experiments would require things found around the house. For some reason, however, those items were rarely in my home.

We have a large family, a child with special needs, are frequently running around taking a child to therapy, helping with our family's new business, etc. and I felt I was letting my children down by not following through with the experiments they so wanted to do.

I bought a few more "easy" science books and tried to implement those, but for one reason or another, things didn't work out.

A friend of mine suggested I look for some "science in a box" kits and I was nervous about what I would find. She recommended this company and I selected a couple of items, hoping it would work.

I was ecstatic when I opened the instructions to the first experiment to discover that the only items I had to fetch from my kitchen were a dish and a cup of water!

And as for future experiments, I have a very short list right up front of things I will plan to have on hand for when the time comes.

Clearly this kit is not for everyone, but for someone who is short on time and needs the simplicty of open-and-go, I recommend it.

This kit was purchased as a gift for our 6 year old son. It has been a way for two (our son and one of us) to get together for some wholesome, educational, and quality fun time. We would highly recommend this kit. It is great to have everything you need for some basic experiments in one box.

Review of LEGO Education DUPLO Farm Set 779217 (150 Pieces)

Customer Ratings:

My husband and I purchased this set for our just-turned-five year old daughter for Christmas 2011... It is late March 2012 as I write this review and I can truthfully comment that not a day has gone by that she hasn't played with the animals, rearranged/rebuilt the farm, the house, the fences...and LEARNED about the different animals ~ what animals eat what food and why...which ones sleep standing up...which ones lay eggs and which have live babies...what baby animals are called in relation to their mommas and daddies... I mention all of this because I gave five stars for the educational value of this toy... This is not her first Lego set, but one we knew she'd love because of the new and different animals ~ her other sets have zoo animals and she has learned so much with those, too... My daughter is still so very much excited about this Lego set, so my husband and I are very excited, as well! We've introduced the smaller Legos to her ~ seasonally ~ and she loves those, too...but she's five...she wants to play...not worry that animal pieces will go flying if she drops something... It's a wonderful, durable, imagination-boosting toy that I know will keep her interest for some time yet... Go, Lego!!

This is awesome, there are enough prices to build all sorts of things. Farms, out buildings, or whatever your imagination comes up with. Only problem is it didn't come with directions to build the farm like it is on the box. This is a source of frustration for me, but my kids don't care! They love it!

If you purchase this set, i would reccomend you take the time to put it together prior to your child seeing the set. There are no instructions included. Just a small picture on the front of the box (which you cannot see everything). I had to sit down, and with trial and error, figure out. With instructions, I could have sat down with my 3 yr old and helped her along the way to putting pieces together.

Pieces are bagged in multiple packages. You would think that they would be bagged based on the pieces going togther (like older childrens legos). However, not the case. Random order in bags. Makes for more confusion.

Once together, toy is sturdy and my daughter has enjoyed playing with it. Animals and people are hard to put in place though.

Review of Fisher-Price Little People Builders Classic Shapes Blocks

Customer Ratings:

My son was given a Little People bus filled with the Little People blocks when he was 12 months old. He has been banging the blocks together since then, and learning how to put them together. These blocks are large enough that I didn't worry about him choking on them. Now that he is older (20 months), I wanted some additional blocks for him, but didn't want to have to buy a Little People jungle or other some such kit, all I wanted was blocks to expand on what we have already. I didn't want to change brands, since his blocks attach to the bus carrier that we have already. These blocks fit the bill perfectly! There are several arches, roof shapes, and round and square blocks to help him build more complex shapes. They come in several colors so we can work on naming colors as he builds, can work on shapes (round and square, big and little) and they are easy for him to hold and push together. I actually bought 2 of these, one to keep at grandma's house! I'm very happy with my purchase!

My daughter had the little people builder wagon so I wanted to extend the set she had...I wish I never would have bought the wagon so I could have bought better blocks. For a Fisher Price set this is really disappointing! As a few other reviews mentioned these blocks DO NOT stay together-which defeats the purpose of blocks. Currently my 18 month old enjoys playing with them because they are brightly colored & new and can't get many together...but as she grows I know we will both be even more disappointed. For the price this is a rip off.

I thought this set would be a great starter set for my son. He isn't too interested in building with them yet, but gets the concept when I build something. I am a little disappointed that some of the blocks don't fit together very well. Some of them don't "lock" together and are easily taken apart, rather fall apart. We will have them out for his building skills, but will likely get another set once he gets the hang of building. For the money, it's pretty good, I like the many different shapes, but would prefer them fitting together better.

We bought this for my 6 month old son per advice of a friend that recommended blocks. The bag is a nice storage compartment that my son will tip over and it makes him laugh, but the block quality is another story. While I will stack them and my son knocks the blocks over, a lot of times the blocks collapse on their own. I have used Lego Duplo's and they stick together like traditional legos where as these blocks can barely hold four pieces on top of another.

It comes with all the batteries it needs.

There is a wireless joystick not shown in the picture. You go to places by "flying" to them

You can select what you want to do for example, language phrases or information on the location

It may look like a baby toy, but it definitely is not it is perfectly appropriate for a 5, 6, or 7 year old. It's packed with real information.

You won't find every country on here it's got many major areas and is rich in the content for those locations, but, for example, the entire Middle East is missing.

Great, great toy. Children in the given age range will love it.

LeapFrog LeapPad2 Recharger Pack (Works only with LeapPad2) Review

I ordered this product along with a Leappad2, said item was in stock ready to ship but did not receive for another 4 days after I received the Laeppad. I could have purchased the charger pack locally at a higher price so I purchased batteries so that my daughter could use her new Leappad before we received the charger pack. The batteries lasted anywhere from 4-5hrs/4AA. The money I spent in the four days on batteries was more than the difference in price and will make up the cost of the charger pack within the first 40 hours of use. I have charged the charger pack two times (including initial charge) and my daughter has gotten close to 14hrs of use(6.5-7 hrs per charge) I am happy with this purchase and would recommend over using AA batteries. The "batteries" fit the Leappad2 perfectly and the battery doors closed just as they should, unlike prior reviews.(there is a right and left door if mixed up won't close all the way) It looks and feels like it is solidly constructed and uses quality materials. Have not needed it yet, but the ability to plug the Leappad into an outlet and use without batteries adds functionality and versatility to the Leappad and I think is almost a necessity.

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!

...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.

Review of Talkatoo Voice Recordable Pendant: 'Green Monster' with Clip

I originally bought this for myself to help me remember things I think of when I can not write them down. However, when I opened the package my daughter loved the face and smiled every time I played my recorded voice, so now I leave it for her at the sitters.
