My son turned 3 two weeks ago and just received this game cartridge tonight. I was amazed to see him finding the letters in the cave game. I couldn't believe how good he got at recognizing the letters and then finding them on the keypad. Of all the cartridges I've seen so far, this is hands-down the best. The letter game is incredibly education, while the bowling game is a blast for little ones, and the memory game is obviously working those little brains. We haven't checked out all of the other games on this cartridge yet, but I'm thrilled that we bought it. In fact, I have been a little unsure about the mobigo purchase--watching him play this game tonight, though, made me feel like it was definitely money well spent.

Discount LeapFrog Scribble and Write

Customer Ratings:

I just got 2 of these for my 4 year old and letter-excited 2 and 1/2 year old. Since the boxes have been opened, they have both been enamored for over an hour. The letter instruction is accurate and straightforward. The eraser is easy to use and the stylus is at least more accurate than the one at Target where I bought these. My 2 year old loves to write letters, so I know it would be a hit for him. But my 4 year old fights writing and drawing, so it's super exciting to see him get all excited about it AND actually write decent looking letters and lines. Get it! You'll be glad you did! Perfect back to school, starting school toy/tool for your youngster!

My 3 year old is starting to write and draw and this is really helping with her learning to write her ABC's and shapes. She really loves the dog Scout and the cute audio. The size of it is right on the money and is easy to take along in the car. Every letter brings out some cute responses too.

Good Stuff...

This was an Amazon gift from the grandparents to my 4 year old. He LOVES this! It teaches your child the proper way to make their letters. (My 8 year old needs one LOL!)He loves tracing the dots and sliding the eraser. It cheers the kids on after they push the paw print. He will sneak to play with it when he is suppose to be sleeping. It is currently at show and tell at his pre-k, he loves it that much. One week of use and he is going all over the house writing the first letter of his name. He has shown off his letter writing skills at the Drs. office. He now writes his letters better than his big brother in 3rd grade!

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Scribble and Write

Based on the positive reviews, I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old son. I wish I'd listened to the 3 star reviews. This is more like a magnadoodle with a suggestion on what to draw. It doesn't give any feedback as to whether the child follows the drawing or letter correctly. What's more is that if you don't press hard enough, your drawing won't be made. I wish I'd passed on this purchase.

Great educational toy. One thing I would like to see get improved is the part you write on. It is a cheap plastic and when you write on it you can barely see what you wrote. I can see this part breaking or getting ruined somehow so easily. Those scribble pads that use a magnet are way better in this one aspect. Also the slide bar that you use to "erase" is completely open at the bottom so once you get any type of dirt, grime, food in there it will interfere with the writing.

Cheap LEGO Education DUPLO Brick Set 779027 (144 Pieces)

Customer Ratings:

I tried the cheap Mega Blocks before these and they were worthless. These showed up pretty quickly and unlike the mega blocks, they actually stick together when my daughter builds something. When you buy them this way, they show up in bland packaging in little bags, but who cares. I bought the lego table too and it was a great move. All the legos go in the middle of the table and our 2.5 year old actually puts the legos away by herself on occasion.

Well this is what they say it is, alot of lego. But dont expect a fancy box. It all came in a cardbord box. But still its a nice expation for my childern as my motto is you can never get to much lego/duplo.

And I think its a educational or atleast a creativ toy, my toddler makes houses for her animals, when she was younger she would make towers ect. So I think its just your imagitaton that sets limits. Only porblem with duplo if you step on it, it hurts, but the toy dont break *smiles*

Living in Norway this cost me 1/6 of what the same amount would cost me at the store so I am super duper happy, dont know what it cost in the usa but this is cheap for me :D

Lego bricks are awesome creative toys, but the sets you get at a toy store are very expensive. This bare-bones package has a lot of bricks for a really good price. My kid loves to make robots and houses with the bricks and doesn't care that they didn't come with a fancy storage tub.

Honest reviews on LEGO Education DUPLO Brick Set 779027 (144 Pieces)

We bought the Ultimate LEGO DUPLO Building Set set for our almost-2-year-old for Christmas, and he loves it. I think Mom and Dad love it even more! But it just seemed like there weren't quite enough blocks for our creations. We bought this set of Duplos to complement the Ultimate set, along with the LEGO 15 x 15-inch Building Plate, and now we have more than enough blocks for anything we'd like to make.

The Duplos are incredibly sturdy, and they're bright and colorful. My toddler finds them absolutely irresistible. (In fact, I have to keep them out of reach when I can't supervise, or else I'll be finding blocks all over the house.) I think they're great at teaching hand-eye coordination and just letting him be creative. I love toys that let kids use their imagination, and Duplos are awesome at doing just that.

Cheap Safari Ltd Carnegie Collection- Acrocanthosaurus

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $9.99
Sale Price: $8.38
Today's Bonus: 16% Off

I like when lesser-known creatures get the honor of a replica, and I like when an unique action pose is used. But there is a risk for these companies with both, and this time the results were less than stellar. The sculpt is good, but the paint is merely safe. That would be OK if there were other points of interest about this creature, but the only thing that gets my attention is the strange posture. What the heck is it doing? About to be sick? Choking up a fur ball? Ducking to avoid an old girlfriend? Assuming the fetal position after some bad news? The most interesting thing about this gut is figuring out his psych profile.

I expect they saw this one facing off with some smaller plant eater, but it's not easy to do. My son puts different little vegetarians in front and it still just looks like acrocanthosaurus just bumped his head or something (you can almost see him trying to rub his head with his sawed-off little arms and cursing).

Four stars for making a new realistic animal available in some other position than attention. But I wouldn't rush to put this guy in you stable unless just want one of everything, or you have all of the hundred other better ones.

I bought a bunch of these over several years for my nephew who was into dinosaurs. (Now, not so much.) He liked them fine and played with them fine, but I didn't get the impression from his mom or from what I saw that he loved these any more than he loved the cheap ones you get at like Dollar Tree or WalMart. They all went into the same Bucket O Dinos and got dumped in the dirt the same, got dumped in the bathtub the same, slept in his bed the same (ouch) etc. And he doesn't seem any more knowledgeable about dinosaurs than any other kid his age either, though I grant you he doesn't seem to think they shot lasers out of their eyes or got captured into a Pokeball or whatever either. I would buy them again for my own son but probably not for anyone else's because there are other toys where it looks like you get more for your money.

Buy Spiralin' Seas Waterpark

This is perfect for my twin granddaughters who are 15 months old. They are just the right height to stand and splash in the water. They have also figured out how to put the balls in the center spiral and watch them come out at the bottom. Then they learned to turn the crank and spin the wheel. This would be a good gift for any toddler. It was easy to put together too.

My Kids love this toy! My son got it for his 1st Birthday (now 3) and all my kids have enjoyed it (6yoB, 3yoB and 1yoG). The kids have a lot of fun and its at the perfect height for 1-3 yo but even my 6yo loves to play in it. I know its 2 years old but Im a little sad that the sun has done its fair share of damage. The colors have faded, and most of the attachments have broke off due to the frailness. The center swirl thing and the Ferris Wheel thing are the only thing still intact on mine and I even managed to break the swirl thing the other day trying to dump it out to clean it... (totally my fault) :( The legs tend to come off fairly easy too. You want to put it exactly where you want it, cause theres no dragging it or picking it up to move it, the legs fall off and then someone has to be standing there to get them back on... over all though, its a GREAT toy. I recommend putting it away when not in use (shed) to keep down the sun damage! Id recommend it to any parent!

Best Celestron 11084 Omni XLT - 127 Deals

Customer Ratings:

I liked this telescope a lot.

The image is very good.

I've purchased it with 25mm and 6mm ocular. With 25mm the image is very good. With 6mm the image is not so good. Now I'm considering to buy intermediate occular like 12mm or 10mm.

The tripod is very good CG-4 and I think it can carry a bigger telescope.

Celestron has an excellent reputation for quality and this telescope continues that tradition. I've observed Saturn, the Moon, a few star clusters, some double stars, and the Ring Nebula. All views were excellent. On Saturn, I could see the Cassini Division, cloud belts on the planet, and several moons. The Moon shows lots of detail and the scope is effective at even higher magnifications. The CG-4 mount is rock solid and easy to use, and can handle a lot more weight than that of this five inch SCT. You can set it up in just a couple of minutes with no tools.

Elenco 75-in-One Elecronic Project Lab Review

Customer Ratings:

This thing is fantastic. It has 75 possible experiments that can be done without help if you stay within the age group recommended. Kids can use the included wires to make bells, buzzers, lights, sirens, and more. It's all about following the diagram and connecting the included wires to the terminals. That's all there is too it. It travels well too for hours and I mean hours of fun in the car. The parts are all connected to the board so there's nothing to fall out. You can buy extra wire anywhere. This "toy" is a great value.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

The 75 projects in this lab are interesting and many customers will enjoy putting them together. It is a worthwhile item for use as a toy, but don't expect a novice to gain any relatively deep understanding of circuitry.

The projects are delivered in "cookbook" fashion, i.e. this-connects-to-that-connects-to-the-other. Reasons for why a circuit should be set up this way are minimal. Sometimes it will say something like "the transistor and capacitor provide the signal, while the other capacitor and resistor control the frequency." Why we should use one capacitor over another is not addressed.

The manual also attempts to teach the reader how to read the schematics, but this instruction is also lacking.

Overall, though, this is an enjoyable kit, and worth the price in terms of how much there is to do. Someone looking for something more educational, though, might look elsewhere.

I bought the 75-in-One Project Lab for my 11 yr. old boy for Christmas. He could not wait to sit down with me and start learning how to build the electronic projects. When we did sit down and start learning about the kit, his interest grew even more and he really enjoys building the projects. This is an excellent tool for teaching the basics of Electricity/Electronics. I would recommend that parents start out by making sure to have your child read the book from the beginning and make sure that he/she understands the basics before starting on the projects.

Mirari Busy Buddy Toy Review

Customer Ratings:

Just received this Mirari Busy Buddy Toy and at first sight it looks like a cute toy with the puppy shape and colorful design! When opened it is even better because it is truly a toy that helps with cognitive, sensory and fine motor skills. My 18 month old is loving this toy and at first needed some help putting the cogs back on the correct shapes/colors but now can do it on her own. When the dial is turned the puppy's ears and eyes move and she loves laughing and smiling at that! It is also easy to clean and is proving hours of enjoyment!

I teach an integrated classroom of typical students and students with special needs (aged 2.5 to 5) and they all loved it. It engaged the students with fine motor and cognitive delays and they had much success with working the gears. There were also both boys and girls who were older than the target audience that enjoyed playing with itthey especially liked the moving ears. The toy was easy to clean, and still functions after the bleaching and rough play. I would prefer that the removable plastic pieces were solid and heavier for use in the classroom, but at home it is fine. I look forward to trying other toys from Mirari!

My 19 month old son received this toy and it is a big hit. I like the learning opportunities in this toy. I like that he can learn about shapes, colors, movement and dexterity. I also like that it doesn't require any batteries! The Busy Buddy feels well constructed and durable. Also the colors are vibrant. The largest drawback to this toy is that pieces can easily get lost if not being constantly supervised. I would also recommend this toy for an older age range starting at about 15 months. Overall, I think my son will enjoy this toy for a long time.

I received this toy from Patch Products, all opinions are my own.

My son just turned 3 and has been playing on his leapster for a few months now. We have a few games and apps, but this is by far his/our favorite game. It's a fun AND funny game (gotta love those penguins) with age appropriate lessons in math in between the levels. I love the leapster b/c he can use his finger or the stylus pen (similar to my iphone which he's always grabbing for). The math questions are simple and get increasingly difficult as you progress. He can do the easy ones himself...but as they get more difficult he needs my help. He can read and knows his numbers and simple math so it's fun to sit down w/ him and figure out the problems. Sample math questions are:

-which is the largest group?

-which is the smallest group?

-which box has 4 wires in it?

-which box has more than 1 wire in it?

-drag 6 candies into Rico's bowl

-what number comes next in the sequences 6, 7, _, 9

etc...

There are also shapes questions dragging shapes into a box w/ your finger or the pen and rotating them to fit which is pretty neat.

All in all, I think this is the best game leapster has so far. The levels are fun, the math/shapes lessons are great, the spy music is entertaining and not annoying (for me), and your child will be using the d-pad, his finger, the pen etc. and I think it's great for their coordination.

Out of all of the games that we purchased and/or downloaded for my girls' Explorers, this one is definitely their favorite so far. It adjusts the math level nicely between the 1st grade for my older daughter and preschool for my younger one. From my observation so far they seem to be challenged nicely without getting frustrated and they stay interested in this game for quite a while. They are both fans of the Penguins of Madagascar TV show, though, so that may add to their experience while playing the game.

Best Deals for LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game: The Penguins of Madagascar:

My 3-year old son received the leapster recently, as well as two games for it. Wolverine and this game. In addition, the leapster includes a pets game. I was reluctant to get him this game because I had glanced at the cartoon and it was garbage. However, the game was bundled with the system.

After playing the pets game i found that it repeatedly asked to be connected to the internet and disliked it. The wolverine game was extremely violent and the actual educational aspect of it was dilluted by all the slashing.

When I reluctantly put in the Penguins of Madagascar game I was surprised to see how often the educational parts interrupted the penguin as he moved about the level karate-chopping rats. So far, the "violence" seems to be limited to animals which youd want your kids to avoid under normal circumstances (rats, cockroaches, giant crocodiles, ect.)

The game features a variety of puzzles such as counting wires to pick the right amount, which square has the most pins, (1,2,3,_) , and placing blocks where their outlines are. My favorite game so far is one where you are given 4 animal pictures and you tap them as you are given clues (which one lives in the ocean?) . I was surprised at how well my son did these games with little help.

In summary, the violence in this game is slight when compared to other explorer games geared towards boys, or video games for the wii or other consoles. The little karate-chopping that is included is overshadowed by the amount of educational games included. Lastly, the game is great for the younger players who cant add or subtract yet.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game: The Penguins of Madagascar:

The game contains several violent activities (hitting, spitting candy, dropping dynamite...) that I had not anticipated given the targeted age group. The math components of the game are great, but I'm finding it difficult to get beyond the violence.

We don't have cable, so we've never seen this show. I bought the game based on the reviews and I have not been dissappointed. This game is really fun and funny. It is also very educational, my 5 year old preschooler has already improved his math skills. He's gotten better at addition and can point out the difference between an isosceles and scalene triangle. It also teaches more than/less than. I am very impressedwith this game.
