I brought this model for my child in 4th grade, who is very interested in cells. The cell and the internal parts are by itself colorful, decently sized objects made of quality materials. But the transparent cover for the model is not designed right, and it takes much effort from an adult to put the cover on the model and shut it. The mounting is of poor quality and the model fell of the pedestal after a few days since the small beam that holds the heavy cell onto the pedestal got frayed at the edges. All this happened within a week of us having the model.

We used the model gently, in spite of which it is only partially usable now. I have mixed opinions about it, and I strongly believe that every component in a model should be of good quality, since you will be unable to assemble it and mount it, thanks to a couple of inferior parts.

Agree with everything the reviewer on Feb 2011 stated. The best thing about it is the ability to take out the individual parts and put them back in like a puzzle, which seems to aid in familiarization of the pieces and where they are located. The organelle pieces are made of somewhat hard plastic mounted in the soft plastic (cytoplasm) which seems for the most part to hold to the pieces well, except for a couple of peroxisome which seem to only stay when they are put in a specific designated spot for them. The colors are very good although I have become accustom to seeing mitochondria as green not red as they appear in the model. Definitely recommend. I will now be looking into purchasing other models manufactured by 4D Master.

Ok, this is my second try in leaving a review so I will be brief.

This model is made of durable materials, it is detalied and painted in vivid colors. The nucleus has a plexiglass window and all fits well so it can be assembled and displayed on its base. Has a nice translucid finish and the booklet explains briefly the functions of the parts. I recommend it for display, as a puzzle and as an educational model.

Honest reviews on Famemaster 4D-Science Animal Cell Anatomy Model

The model of both the Famemaster 4D animal and plant cells are great products after you get them together. I have 2 children (4th and 5th grade) and they were able to put 90% of the model together, but the plastic cover is impossible for anyone other than a strong, very patient person to get on. Personally, we cracked the cover on the plant model and simply decided to use it without it because it was broken during the process of creation. If you want to buy these products, just skip the cover...it just doesn't install easily.

The model looked good and worked well as a "puzzle". I had a little trouble getting the cover to fit, but got it. I was hoping for more from the illustrated guidebook, but I guess it's not really necessary.

I thought this product would be "sheets" of information I could pass onto my students. Not sure why I got it goofed up, but it is a two-sided, laminated informational sheet. Pretty well describing the way the voice works and photos to accompany.

Lowercase Magnetic Letters Reviews

Customer Ratings:

These letters are a great match for the capital magnetic letters that you find just about any where. I wanted my kids to practice letter recognition and spelling with the lower case letters, and these have been perfect for that purpose. The only down side is that they aren't part of Amazon Prime, but maybe they will fix that soon.

I bought this item for my 5 year old kindergartener. It wasn't what I expected. The cards are pretty durable however the letters are styrofoam and could be easily destroyed. I was expecting the letters to be made out of plastic for more durability.

I like that they are ALL the same colors. The letters look much better than any of the magnetic letter sets I have purchased in past years. They have no odor. The word cards that come with this set are fun to use....there arent many even though they are double sided. Unless you have a huge classroom to display the drawlike box it comes in, the box is too big to have around and a waste of paper to toss. I would like to see packaging be minimized for this.

I was pleased the letter pieces are very thick. The drawers and cards seem to be holding up well also, so far. If younger children are around, the entire box needs to be out of their reach. It's just a cardboard box, so little ones trying to sit on it will destroy it. And the cards would definitely be bent. But for my five year old, we love this set to reinforce sounds learned at school. There are a lot of cards too, so you can chose the ones your child is ready for. There are plenty of letters too, so I can also create words directly from my daughter's school work. Great product.

Educational Insights Estimation Station Review

Customer Ratings:

This is lightweight and plastic, which makes sense for the price. The "Estimation Station" and turning knob on the front are actually on a sticker. My kids are delighted with our big fancy upgrade from a big glass jar, and the scoop enhances the function of the estimation station by increasing the number sense aspect for students.

I ordered this to teach estimation with my second graders. It was perfect. They get it and they love doing it because whatever I fill it with, they get to have one when we are done. Small, easy to fill and fun way to practice estimation for any age.

Best Deals for Educational Insights Estimation Station

This kit includes an Estimation Station which has the station with a lid and cup. You pour whatever you want in the box and it makes it an easier way for kids to make educated guesses. I admit I am always amazed at how people can make guesses on those jars of candy and other items. I am always way off! With this, I am trying to work on our guesses and teaching my kids with it. I would have never thought it was something I should think about but I am amazed at what you can learn from it. I am working on how big things (like marshmallows) take up a lot of room but count for a little and then there are items like jellybeans that you can fit a whole lot of. My boys thought it was so funny how we added things and worked on counting with them.

The top does come off so you can store the items or carry them along, there is a lid too that attaches to keep the items contained. It also makes it easy to clean it. This is great for both parents to work with or teachers.

Best Perisphere And Trylon Games Space Exploration Mobile Deals

Customer Ratings:

My 4 yr old son received this from Santa this year.

Easy to install. Easy to put together. Has a decent amount of detail. The space-crafts rotate around at a slow speed. The earth lights up but it's a dim light so it's perfect for night-time.

My only complaint is the sound of the motor. It's a little too noisy for my taste. My son said it doesn't bother him and we turn it off when he falls alseep so I guess it's not that big of a deal. I still wish it was quieter. He also received the solar system version of this mobile from Santa, and that motor is quiet so I'm wondering if this one we got is defective? I don't know.

We have only had this less than a week so I can't comment on how long the batteries last. We only have it on for about 20 minutes at a time so I'm going to assume they last a decent amount of time.

This makes a nice addition to his room and he's happy with it. I would recommend this to anyone that has a child interested in space.

Best VTech Counting Time Measuring Tape Deals

Customer Ratings:

This is a fun toy for my 2 yr old. It sings silly counting songs and he likes that it pulls out and retracts. My only complaint other than how annoying it gets to hear the songs for the 5 millionth time is that you have to hear them at an extremely loud volume. Lots of electronic baby/toddler toys are way too loud. If you put some electrical tape over the speaker, then it's less punishing for the parents and safer for your child's hearing. I wouldn't say it's the coolest counting toy ever, but my son loves the songs it plays.

I V Tech Counting Time Measuring Tape

I bought this item for my nephew for Christmas. He loved it at first glance. The lights, music and the fact that he could pull the tape measure and see the numbers. The only negative that I have is that the tape only goes to the number "8," while the song on the unit counts to the number 10. That was very disappointing from a teaching perspective.

Myt son is almost three, and he had an obsession with stretching out the tape measurer across things. He would get really upset if anyone moved it. He broke it of course! But, to prevent more tape measurers getting destroyed (he always gets me to give him this stuff, he is SO cute!), I got him this. It worked: He stretched it out and tried to hang it over something, like before! Only thing is this is not very long, which makes it safer for a child of course, no strangulation hazard. So it is safe, and fun enough. Its burried right now though in other toys. If I pull it out, he will use it though I am sure. It is loud though, get ready! All these toys are. Its nice for him thogh,.

This is one of those toys that I really purchased for myself, it's so cute. My 9 month old daughter just so happens to enjoy it too! It's portable, happy and educational. The toy itself was a bit smaller than I expected but it's the perfect shelf size toy. The tomato, watering can and carrot come off and are nice to chew on. The only down side is that the flower is made of fabric and that could be a bummer to try to clean if it gets dirty...which it will.

This project was a lot of fun to put together and fairly easy. It took me 1 or 2 hours to put together and worked the first time I powered it up.

The only thing that I wish they would have done with this kit is to have four different color LED's like the original Simon game had. But overall, the game plays pretty much the same and is fun.

Reviews of Pirate Dig Kit

Customer Ratings:

My kids love this. They love pirates & they love to dig. It occupies them for quite a while. The downside to this toy is trying to put the skeleton together with the string once he is 'dug up'. The digging tool they give you is pretty useless, but we use the end of one our spoons & it works perfect.

My kids keep asking to buy them more. They want to collect all the pirates.

It is messy, which is not fun for me, but again, the kids love that too!

This product allows for some quality time for a father and son. The rope needs a guide mechanism like a needle and some of the rope holes had to be drilled out. An unexpected tool time session with my son.

My six year old grandson loves Pirates and this kit was absolutely perfect. All evening he kept going back to the "dig". It's difficult to find a toy to hold his attention but this kit did the job. He was ecstatic with every bone he found. I also purchased a "Crystal Mining Kit "for my three year old grandson and "Pirate Treasure Dig kit and game" for my 5 year old granddaughter. The entire family was down on the floor with their Safety Goggles on digging it was fabulous and a lot of fun. Each child had their own exploration going and the adults rotated between helping and looking at their finds. According to the box, there are several Pirates available. It would be great for future purchases to be able to choose which Pirate to buy. A lot of fun for all a good purchase!
