Buy Night Before Halloween Countdown Calendar

Customer Ratings:

This is a fun advent calendar for Halloween. It is simply a cardboard calendar to hang on the wall. There is no chocolate in it or anything, but we like it that way so it can be reused for a few years (depending on how it holds up to my young kids). It is beautifully decoratedmy kids love it. There is a "door" that opens for each day to count down with a little rhyme/poem/statement/riddle inside and a picture. It is great for the price (if I paid over $5 for this then I would expect more, but for around $5, it is a fun treat for my kids).

I've never seen an advent calendar for Halloween before so I snatched this up. For the price it is pretty good. The art is exactly as pictured; which is why I had purchased it.

I had thought it was on a cardboard background so it could stand up but this has to be hung from something. My major qualm with it is that the numbers are hard to see and since they aren't in any particular order it makes it difficult to chose the door to open.

I bought this String a Farm for my handicapped daughter, not knowing whether she could string the blocks or not, but to my amazement she figured it out immediately! This toy is very easy for her to handle and manuever and she was so pleased with her success! Highly recommend this sturdy toy.

This toy is terrific for two-year-olds. My daughter loves stringing the animals and other farm related beads. She especially likes the tractor and the chickens. The farm pieces do make quite a noise when dumped off the string, but that doesn't bother us. This toy is durable, colorful, and fun.

Great toy for stimulating language skills and fine motor skills. Easy for little ones to handle and kids love to string them. Great for theme building. Durable with bright colors.

Honest reviews on ALEX® Toys - Early Learning String A Farm -Little Hands 1486F

My two year old loves this product, I love it because the "needle" is quite long and allows her to (relatively) easily slide the "beads" on. My twelve month old also loves this product! The animals are all smooth, no rough edges, so no safety concerns. You can do so much with this product aside from physical manipulation with the hands, but you can also teach about animals, colors, etc. I highly recommend this product and will be purchasing this product as a birthday gift for other two year olds! Well worth the money!!!!

I love the great shapes and illustrations on the beads for this stringing toy. I think it is superior to most stringing sets because each bead is different and that can encourage imaginative play. My main issue is that once my daughter learned how to string the beads once (didn't take long), she was done. She has only stringed the beads a total of 5 times in the time we have owned it. Maybe other children enjoy these toys more but it wasn't a huge hit at my house. The bonus was that the beads are large, high quality wood and can be used to act out farm scenes.

Discount Learning Resources Write-on and Wipe-off Venn Diagramand T-chart

Customer Ratings:

These dry erase charts work great. They also come in sets of 30 so one set is enough for an entire class. I am a teacher and own three sets of these now, I love them.

They are a flexible, yet durable material. These are a higher quality than I originally expected. Similar in thickness to a thick laminated piece of paper, yet they come cleaner than laminated surfaces do when cleaned (providing dry erase pens are used). They are also a solid plastic material that shouldn't separate over time like a laminated sheet.

I would purchase this product again.

Review of Plan toys Melody Xylophone

As a chemical engineer and a parent, it is extremely important to me to balance product safety and responsible manufacturing. Furthermore, I want to invest in toys that will survive not only my daughter, but any other children or grandchildren that I may be blessed with. Few toys are more durable than wooden ones; fewer still foster an imagination. "Plan Toys" meet stringent US and international safety guidelines and are made from rubber trees that no longer yield latex. There is no deforestation involved, the manufacturing sites use green energy, and the company is socially responsible.

I bought this item for my one-year-old, and while I admit she's under the age range for this toy, she's fine using it under supervision. (Very determined fingers can pull off the metal keys, but these are easily pushed back into place with no harm done.) There is a version of this by the same company for her age group (Plan Toy Oval Xylophone), but it lacks the song sheets for when she's older. Regardless of which one you choose, this is great for starting kids out on "music" by teaching small ears that there are other sounds to be made than just banging on the wall.

Excellent product. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the sheet music has a color shown that is not reflected in the product. Makes it hard to expect a child to follow along when the colors don't match.

This is a cute toy. My son enjoys taking the rings out and using them as teething toys (everything goes in his mouth these days). It's also washable which is awesome. The only thing I don't like is that the top portion (the head) does not stay on.

Consider this as an alternative to an electronic keyboard toy. It's nearly impossible to find a musical toy that doesn't take batteries nowadays! This toy is true to key, has a bright tone, and is fun to play with. My 1-year-old niece loves to pound on it, and I'm hoping that she'll learn a little something about music from it as well. It appears to be well-constructed and a high quality piece of equipment.

I ordered this piano for my 1 year old daughter for christmas, and it is by far her favorite present. At first she was quite rough with the keys and I was worried it would get damaged but she quickly calmed down and plays much more delicately. Since she "opened" it she has been enamored and consistently crawls back to it to play a little song for me. I was concerned she was too young for this piano but I think it suits her quite well. Perfect size for a little one, and looks and feels sturdy and high quality. The only complaint I have is I THOUGHT i purchased the red piano with gold logo and mine showed up with a white logo... Really not a big deal for us though. I love this piano and like that it's not just a toy, it's educational too. All in all perfect for our little whites-stripes-loving, indie-rock-jamming little girl.

Yes, THE FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS PIANO!!!! That alone earns it 5 stars. I actually bought this for an adult friend who's a fan of the show, but she might have to fight my niece for it because she fell in love with it too when she saw it. I'm a huge believer in teaching music to children. This piano is a great size for a toddler (or adult) and seems to be very solidly constructed. Not 100% in tune, but very close considering it's a toy. I'd trust it to last several years, and will probably end up buying one for my niece next Christmas too. Haven't played the other model w/ fewer keys, but I think this model must be better.

We bought this to add to my 9-year-old son's Snap Circuits Jr. set. Wow, we thought the first set was fun but with this added kit it got even better! He can do this all on his own and has so much fun making things. So far his favorites have been the AM radio and the radio announcer. This keeps him entertained for hours. Although this kit is new he has had snap circuits for six months and he is still playing with them regularly. This is a GREAT toy for a kid interested in building or science. I LOVE THIS TOY!

An add-on to the 11 yr olds set. She has fun doing all the projects. She figures them out and assembles them on her own. The one con: it doesn't explain the HOW and WHY it works.

Honest reviews on Elenco Snap Circuits UC-30 Upgrade Kit SC-100 to SC-300

My seven year old son loved the Snap Circuit Jr that he received for Christmas; completed all the electronic experiments in just about 2 months. So it made sense to purchase the UC-30 Upgrade Kit SC-100 to SC-300 and see where his love of electronics would take him. He makes his own experiments now and still plays with both sets every few days. I worried that the pieces would break easily, but that seems to have been an unfounded concern. The storage trays make it easy to keep all the pieces together, although the cardboard boxes are really beat up. Next purchase: hard plastic carrying case.

New! Amazing Electronic Nature's Fire Undersea Volcano Reviews

Customer Ratings:

It's not huge, but it's pretty cool. The lights are nice; they vary from white to blue to red and seem random. As the pellets fall, they are recirculated through the volcano at different rates, so the eruption seems to ebb and flow. Pretty neat. And the volcano produces tiny bubbles which look like smoke, visible mainly when room lights are dim.

Mine worked perfectly out of the box, but I'd suggest two things: first, the instructions recommend soaking the balls for at least six hours before running the volcano. I just let it sit overnight. Second, add a drop of dishwashing detergent, as instructed. Just a tiny bit. I initially tried just using filtered water, but the pellets didn't sink well. They sank immediately when I added a drop of soap.

So there you go, a cool looking and fun toy, a nice little Mount Doom for our upcoming LOTR party!

This is a fascinate item. Everybody loved it, young and old. But, it lasted less than 10 hours total running time, at 15-30 minutes per day, before it quit working. The impeller quit turning (shaft slipping) and so no more volcano.

Buy Fisher-Price Sesame Street Elmo's Mailbox Sorter

Customer Ratings:

My 21-month old enjoys playing with this but because of the curves of the mailbox a few of the shapes are more challenging to get in. The cavity is also small so if you get a few pieces in, and don't shake to have them settle, you can't get in the envelopes or other pieces. Frustrating for my daughter, from that aspect.
