The size "small" for these gloves is good for much older kids. For my 4.5 year old boy, these are too big. The product description should have a recommended age or recommended height for the kids.

It was a gift for my 7 year old nephew and he loved them! I got the size Small and it was fine for him.

He was going to the Kennedy Space center for his birthday so he was more than thrilled to get the gloves.

Great buy for the price.

Honest reviews on Astronaut Costume Gloves

These gloves are awesome. They adjust in two places, have reflectors, and the NASA meatball looks great. They are very warm, and because they are long they can tuck into coat sleeves so your wrists aren't exposed. I am an adult woman, and will be wearing these as my winter gloves!

Although these gloves look cool they are way too big for my 4 year old. These are adult sized & not very functional fir a child. Of course my kid still wears them, but his hands can't function while wearing. If I had known how big they were we wouldn't have purchased.

Reviews of 10 Days to Division Mastery Kit

Customer Ratings:

I'm a math intervention specialist in a public school and the kids LOVE the wrap-ups! So, I was thrilled when I found the WHOLE kit for under $20. I suppose what sounds too good to be true, really is. The division mastery kit includes ONLY the division wrap up, book and audio cd as the title indicates. However, the picture and product description will lead you to believe otherwise. They are not accurate and you end up paying $24 for one wrap up despite the appearance of a whole kit in the product image and description with a "savings" of $40. Very misleading.

Otherwise, shipping was fast and product is in good shape.

Kinda fun gadgets. They don't do a whole lot just hold it in your hand and watch the liquid bubble. Kis seem to find them especially fascinating.

A little frail but works like a charm and you can't beat the price. Get two or three in different colors. Makes an interesting conversation piece and looks decorative too.

This is a great little toy to demonstrate heat transfer, but be warned: it's not for younger children. It's made of glass and is quite delicate.

Honest reviews on Hand Boiler

IT was small only five-six inches and really cool, but very fragile. I think if the price was lowered it wold be worth the money.

Discount BlinkyFish_Kit_X01

Customer Ratings:

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.

Color Vision Perception Kit; no. R-59421 Review

Customer Ratings:

I HAVE NOT YET BOUGHT THIS TOY! I just watched a youtube demonstration of this toy that also discussed it's practical applications. If you are confused by how the toy works, I suggest watching the demonstration.

This is a really nice idea. The kit has the practical purpose of helping teachers identify students who have issues perceiving color, and adjust their teaching according. For example, when showing students differnt syllables in a word, the teacher would write the syllables in different fonts, when formally they would have made them differnt colors.

The kit has the added bonus of showing students how it feels to no perceive colors, and explore how filtering the images makes them visible, and what this means about light, and eyes, and so, and so forth. I am currently in an early childcare setting, but if I ever reenter the elementary field, I will definately invest in this kit.

Buy 3" Caribean Blue Gemstone World Globe Paperweight

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this on a Carnival Cruise for $30 and love it. It looks great! When I purchased mine on the cruise, they gave me a card and it showed all of the gemstones and where they came from. The color of the globe is a good choice. I don't use it for a paper wight, just decoration. I would recomend this globe to whoever needs a good paper wight, or just collects stuff like this.

Reviews of States and Capitals Hot Dots

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my 3rd grade son who is learning the United States Geography at school. The Front of the card has the location of the state, and the back of the card has the capital of the state. It best when used with the Hot Dots Pen. It is rewarding for a child to hear the sound when they get the answers right. After seeing my son use it, my 1st grade daughter and 5th grade son both wanted to use it, and all three of my children are enjoying learning the Geography! I would recommend this to all the parents who are looking for a Geography learning supplement.

I am so glad that Boomwhackers are available in a higher octave of notes. It gives me a much bigger choice of songs to use with my church school children. Kids love the colors and the sound, and it is very easy for them to play. Adults like them, too.

Honest reviews on BOOMWHACKERS Boomwhackers Tubes Treble Extension Set

I wish they had a little more resonance, but I understand why they don't. I'm grateful that I bought regular sets and bass sets and chromatic sets. Wish that my budget could afford more sets, so that all my students could have a couple at the same time.

I bought these for a preschool percussion kit I put together (and on a recommendation as a must-have item of percussion). I purchased the Treble Extension Set because it was cheaper than any other set I found, and I like that they're shorter than others as they're intended for 3-5 year old kids. The sizes range from about 10-16 inches. There really isn't much to them, and though they are different notes, there isn't really a lot of variation in the sound. I've read about how to play the boomwhackers, and my husband and I were still unable to get a lot of sound out of them. They're pretty flimsy plastic, the instructions actually talk about bending them back into shape after shipping, so I hope they hold up with extended use. Advice I saw online was to not hit the floor, as it will bend and shred the ends, and not to whack hard items with the center of the whacker, as it will bend the plastic in half.

Bottom line? You might want to know what you're doing with these, but I think that the kids are going to have a BALL making music by hitting things.

Reviews of Playskool- Push 'N Stack Gears

Customer Ratings:

We absolutely love this toy...in fact, we like all the Playskool gear toys. It is not just something to look at, it moves too! There is a handle on the back so the toy can be easily pushed and pulled. When it moves all the gears (and also the eyeball) rotate around. Our daughter loves it when we push it around, she will grab it and move it herself, and she ABSOLUTELY adores when we roll over her with it!! The noise this makes when moved instantly attracts her as well. There are little fabric pieces on top of its head that provide a soft surface on the otherwise plastic toy that she can grab at. The gears are detachable and very easy for a child to lift up themselves (our daughter carries them off with her frequently). The coolest thing is that the gears on this toy are compatible with the other gear toys from Playskool (Busy Gears and Musical Ball and Gear Center). Bonus!

After I bought this, I sort of had buyers remorse. I really wasn't sure if my 8 month old twins would be into it at all. I was wrong, they love it! They love both the gears and the critter. They love to chew on the gears, bang them on the floor and hold them. The handle/tail on the critter is great for little hands to push and pick up. I can entertain them for a long time, pushing this toy across the floor and having them chase after it. This toy is one of the first toys they go after, so glad I purchased it.

My daughter seems to like this toy reasonably well at 11 months. She takes the pieces apart and bangs them on the floor. I think she will come to appreciate the rolling aspect and the gears in time.

Honest reviews on Playskool- Push 'N Stack Gears

My daughter received this as a christmas gift and just loves it! The toy is extremely durable and very interactive, with twisty gears and wheels and eyes that draw her interest. The best is that the gears are removable and the toy can interact with others in the series, so it is also somehting that will grow with her and not get pushed to the bottom of the toy box as she gets older. The colors are fabulously bright and the large handle makes it super-easy for my little one to push around.

My little one is 10 months now and loves this toy. He likes to pull out the "gears" as well and try to make the gears go! It is nice that it does come apart (the gears come out of the critter) so a child can learn to reassemble as well as chose to play however they want. I recommend this toy if you have a child who likes things that spin!

It wasn't clear to me from the pictures and the other reviews but these letters do have exposed small magnets in the back. So definitely a chocking hazard. The Leap Frog letters are covered so that's an alternative.

I purchased the uppercase set and had to purchase the lowercase magnetic letters too. This set is wonderful and colorful. They are bigger with more magnetics that really stick well to the fridge. My two year loves to move the letters around and knows his alphabet based on these letters. I am very happy with the purchase.

Best Deals for Learning Resources Jumbo Lowercase Magnetic Letters, Set of 40

We bought 2 sets of lower case and one set of upper case letters and love them. We painted a wall with chalkboard paint and added the magnet additive so the letters would stick to the wall. It's been great fun! My 5-year-old uses the letters to practice words she's learning to read at school and to make new words and "write" whole sentences. Then we "write" sentences for her to read -instructions for tasks she's to perform, clues to surprises etc. Even my 18-mos-old twin sons are getting into the act.

Discount Educational Insights AlphaMagnets Letters & Numbers Combo

Customer Ratings:

Sure, a huge bucket full of letters and numbers is educational, but this particular bucket is a bad buy. The magnets are not very strong at all. And to make it worse, no one really thought of balance when designing this set of letters and numbers. Even with magnets, gravity still works. When you try to place a letter correctly, the low grade magnets and the weight of the plastic turn the letter on it's side. if you're very lucky, the magnet will stay there and just hang wrong. However, most of the letters just slide down to the floor. Maybe I just got a bad set; i don't know. what I do know is that less than half of the letters in the bucket would attract to the surface. and less than half of those would actually stay in place and upright. Most of them just end up on the floor. Buyer beware. keep your receipt.

Cheap Montessori Large Wooden Number Cards with Box (1-9000)

Customer Ratings:

It is wood, it is I think impossible to break, I also think it is safe even under 3 years old. My 23 months old already know numbers till 100, and this is a a next step. She learn at least 100,200,300....9000 for one day. Combinations are more difficult. I think it is also very good with beads as it decried in Montessori books. I have beads for tens and now thinking to get for hundreds and more.

They sent ti to me within one day (the next day after order)! No additional pay.

Reviews of Fisher-Price Topzy Tumblers Drop 'n Surprise Funhouse

Customer Ratings:

My four year old wanted to get this for her little sister for her bday. I got it and brought it home and gave it to the one year old. She loved it. She just started crawling (preemie) and she loved chasing the wobbly people, it really motivated her to move. She did not understand the house all that well but she enjoyed watching the tumblers go through the passages. My four year old has played with it just as much as the one year old. It is something small, colorful and fun. I am thinking of buying this for my 3 month old niece for Christmas.

Received as a gift and has given him tons of play time. He started when he was around 7 months and just like knocking the ball on the house for the sound. Then he learned how to flip the switch to play the song on his own, developmentally perfect for his age!!! He'll be 9 months next week and just learned to actually get the ball in the chute. It is perfect for 8 month olds! I am buying 2 more, one for his 7 month old cousin and one for a 12 month old friend, hopefully by the mix of reviews the 12month old will still enjoy it.

My 16 month old daughter loves carrying around her Topzy Tumblers, and we thought this would be a great accessory for them. She knows where to put them and I think she enjoys it, but it doesn't hold her attention for long. I have to set it up against something else, because it falls backwards when she drops the tumblers into the chute. Cute, but there's not a lot to it.
