Review of Woodstock Percussion ZENERGY2 Zenergy Meditation Chime Percussion

Customer Ratings:

I have one of the smaller, single-"bell" units and like the tone it produces, clear, ringing, with LOTS of resonances; this two-"bell" unit is much more complex in the tone(s) it produces. When both "bells" are struck, I can "feel the beats" between the tones generated, which are slightly offset. The resulting mixed sound is extremely complex compared to the single unit, and has an "Oriental" overcast to the tones as they mix. If you're a "pure western music" "trained ear", you might find this a little unsettling at first, since there doesn't seem to me to be a "normal diatonic" relationship between the primary tones, but rather an "Oriental" relationship. If you're looking for an "Oriental-ish" sound, this little unit should be considered.

I purchased this tone set to use in my kindergarten classroom. The description states that there are two different tones, however the item I received did not have two different tones. What is the point of having two tones when they are the same?

I use this product daily in my classroom with students and it is still working great after months of heavy use. The sound is great too.

Honest reviews on Woodstock Percussion ZENERGY2 Zenergy Meditation Chime Percussion

Yes they are the same tone as one reviewer stated, however I like that as it provides an effect that is soothing. It is nice to start or end a meditation session with it. Good craftsman ship. Don't expect to play a tune on it though.

For the price I feel like the four base pieces could have been made from solid wood but they are made from some time of particle board material. The material doesn't seem terrible and I expect that it will hold up pretty nicely, but with solid wood there wouldn't even be a question. As pricey as it was I told myself it would be worth it because it would last for multiple children and maybe even for their children. Aside from that, the product is exactly like you would expect from the picture.

Wild Science Perfect Perfume Laboratory Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My daughter loves trying on my perfume, so i thought this would be a fun kit for her, i was right!! while i was disapointed in the instructions, that explain pretty much NOTHING about the SCIENCE in the kit, i had read that in other reviews, so i was expecting that. easy for a seven year old, with a little help from mom. she loved creating her own different scents, even though the smells were overwhelming to me, she had soo muh fun! the hardest part for her was 'shaking the plunger with the perfume pad and water in it to break it down' I had to VIGOROUSLY shake it myself for a long time. we finally concluded that HOT WATER should be used to help break it down, not the 'warm water' it suggests. doesn't change the smell of the perfume to use hot, and the shaking time is way less.

My seven-year-old grand daughter is very creative and loves making things. So, needless to say, she loved making her own perfume. She came up with some very quaint names also. If your child likes being creative, I'd recommend this from my experience.

Fisher-Price Perfectly Pink Purse Review

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this for my five month old daughter and she really likes it! The purse rattles and the handle serves as a teether too! The purse has a velcro closure which is good when all of the contents are inside. It comes with a lipstick that is a rattle which is really cute, although the handle is a little difficult to grasp. The money is soft material and crinkles and has a plastic coin attached. The little makeup compact is a ladybug with a mirror. Lastly, there are keys, but they are one solid piece and I wish they were seperate and jangly. Overall, it is an adorable first purse. I had to decide between this one and the Laugh and Learn Purse Fisher Price Laugh & Learn My Pretty Learning Purse and I chose this one because she already has so many toys that sing and count. This is just simple and sweet.

When I saw this on the web I fell in love and thought it was too cute. Once I received it I was not disappointed. I keep it in my diaper bag for my daughter to have toys on the road. I like that it is really cute but practical too for my daughter who is now 8 months old, teething and wanting to put everything in her mouth! All the items including the purse itself have a purpose, either being for teething or stimulating.

While in Dallas visiting our new 41/2 month old niece I never seen a baby play with a toy so much. She absolutely loved this toy. She was just starting to crawl and there were plenty of toys but she loved the money and the lipstick. They were so easy for her to grab and shake and rattle. I was so impressed I had to buy one for my co-workers grand-daughter. They are the cutest baby toy ever.

My boys, 3 and 5 LOVE this toy! It's easy to use, they seem to find it realistic. It is a bit noisy, so if loud toys get on your nerves, this may not be the best choice, but they kids love it! It's been dropped several times on hardwood floors, and there is no visible damage so far. We've had it about 6 months, and it gets played with several times each day.

Buy Insect Lore Ladybug Land

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my son's third birthday. He's already an avid entomologist. The larvae arrived just as expected already shedding its skin, which each one did multiple times. It was fascinating for my husband and me as well. The three of us found ourselves glued together watching these amazing creatures as the larvae shed it's final skin and entered the pupa stage. Several days after the fully-formed ladybugs emerged (they were yellow at first), we set them free into our back yard. They have a distinct appearance which is slightly different than the ladybugs we're accustomed to seeing around here. Therefore we have been able to easily identify them when we come across them in our yard.

We received about 14 or 15 ladybug larvae and all survived to become ladybugs except for one, which I consider to be pretty impressive. The container was especially effective because my son was not able (or tempted) to manhandle to ladybugs, yet it was easy to keep the water filled with the specially designed lid and water tube. We had an excellent view of all the events taking place inside. I would recommend purchasing books to go along with this. We had four different simple books relying upon excellent photographs and easy-to-understand descriptions. This heightened my son's (and our) anticipation and helped us to better understand what was happening.

I can honestly say that this has been well-worth the price we paid for it. Soon we're going to get a refill kit of ladybug larvae and begin anew.

My 4 year old daughter is a ladybug nut. We got this for Christmas and sent away for our larvae which come in a tube in the mail with all the food they need. Even the adults were fascinated watching the larvae turn to pupa and then to ladybugs. The customer service was very helpful when we called because our bugs stopped doing anything. They told us the bugs were "dormant" because it was too cold in my daughters room. We moved them to a warmer spot and within 30 minutes had ladybugs!! Definitely worth the cost. It is clean and sturdy thank goodness! Although the inside does get slightly messy (of course). We loved it.

I bought this for my niece for her birthday. I was disappointed to find out when the package was delivered that they don't send the ladybug larva to Oregon. There wasn't anything indicating that the ladybug larva couldn't be sent to certain states.

Honest reviews on Insect Lore Ladybug Land

My sister ordered this for my 11 year old daughter. We promptly ordered the larvae with the understanding that they would not mail them until the weather conditions were agreeable. We ordered them in Texas in August so when we didn't get them for a couple of months, we thought it was still too hot. Finally about 4 months after we ordered the larvae (and had received nothing), I called the company. Firstly, they acted like I was crazy for not having called them sooner and/or was lying about it. They asked for proof of purchase. I said I had our half of the postcard that we used to order the larvae. They asked that I fax a copy of this to them. (Still felt like they thought I was trying to pull some scam!!) We then received a mailing tube of what appeared to be dead larvae. We went ahead and followed all directions to the letter. Nothing ever moved, lived or developed at all. I faxed a copy of the original card again telling them that everything was dead when received and/or died in transit. That was at least 6 months ago and they never even responded. Don't waste your money on this. Sadly, the company is not at all interested in the children that are disappointed. Every time I look at that empty habitat (kinda cute actually), I'm furious at a company that doesn't care that my 11 year old (now 12) got a useless gift that should have been a good gift! Shame on Insect Lore!!!

We received 16 larva eaxcatly when we requested them and all have survived as far as we can tell. My 6 year old and my 3 year old loved watching the larva walk around and now love the pink ladybugs. It was particularly interesting for them because we had a few larva, a few pupa and a few adult ladybugs all at the same time. I even brought this in to my daughter's 1st grade class and had a mini-lesson with the kids. The teacher says they're still talking about it. This is well worth the money.

Alphaball and #8482 - Electronic Word Game Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Not suitable for children under 9. trackball is slow to respond at times, as is the game itself at times. Game button doesn't toggle between games unless you depress the trackball first (contrary to instructions). If you can't slove the word scramble in the time period, you don't get to see the correct answer. Based on the web description, I expected this to help teach spelling it doesn't.

Nintendo Delux Set w/ ROB the Robot Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I got this for my fiance for our 2 year, and it was the perfect gift. There are some problems, either the 72 pin connector isn't making an easily solid connection or there is some other problem. I have to wiggle the games around and talk sweetly to them to get them to register in the NES. Once they register they work fine.

The set I received though was in such great condition, I remember everyone having really beat up Nintendos as a kid. This set was very clean.

R.O.B. is in critical condition at this time. When I received him he wasn't closing his hands all the way. I read online that the glue used deteriorates and that it could have easily jiggled stuff loose in the shipping. I had kept it hidden away and hadn't tested it. If you get this I would make sure you plan time to test it, as repairs are commonly needed. We fixed it so that his hands opened and closed right after open body surgery and special glue for plastic but now he does not go up and down. There are thankfully a few different resources on repairs for him if you google "ROB the robot repair guide", and since they are probably all deteriorating at similar rates I'm guessing a lot of people the last few years are having the same problems.

I also about broke my back getting a 27'' Sony Trinitron tube television into the house. Remember, the duck hunt gun and ROB only work on an analog tube television. Something to do with the TV flashing lights at them to communicate. So if you do get this remember that you need to find someone with a decent tube television to sell you unless you have one already. Also factor in purchasing games. A lot of the ones I lovingly remember from childhood are expensive, and not always in good condition. You may want to buy cases since most of them come out of box. So by the time I bought this, the television, and ten games I had spent an insane amount of money, and haven't even bought cases yet.

Overall I am really glad I bought this instead of the action set or an out of box one. Even though there are only two games ROB can play, and he doesn't even really play them well, and it is yet to be proven that he will recover from being in critical condition, this really was the perfect gift. If you want something unique for that special geeky someone and are willing or able to put some serious resources into it, this is it. We have already made many happy memories playing with our Nintendo, and I'm sure are going to have fun playing and repairing it for years to come.

Review of Learning Resources Prepared Slides, Set II - 24 Specimens

Customer Ratings:

Got these prepared slides for my 9 year old when I bought her a microscope. These are great slides. Ordered 2 sets of them and happy with every one.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I bought this set for my 7 year old niece and we viewed it together. The specimens seem very professionally done -well-dyed, clearly labelled, and constructed to stand up to the type of rough handling you'd expect from little hands. There are 5 specimens per slide so there really is a lot here to look at. There's a broad variety of subjects and enough "odd" items to inspire lots of questions. Of everything we viewed, it was (surprisingly) the pollen samples that drew the most oohs and aahs from my niece. We did both find ourselves wishing for more insects, and the textile samples were rather "ho-hum", but overall this is a nice set and, I think, worth the purchase.
