Review of StarSeeker 130mm GoTo Reflector Telescope

Customer Ratings:

The telescope was very easy to put together and functions very well. The one thing that I really did not like was that I ordered the scope as an XMas gift for someone in the family. Well, when the scope was delivered, it had ORION TELESCOPE stamped all over it. Needless to say, the person who it was intended for found the package laying next to the door before I had a chance to get home. I had even called Orion to confirm the exact day it was going to arrive and it got there 2 days earlier. Grrrrrr. The surprise was spoiled. So, note to Orion: "Save the senseless advertising and don't advertise to would-be-thieves and gift-recievers what's inside the box, OK?" Second of all, with it being winter, we tried looking at stars in 40F degree weather. The motors will not function in this cold of temperatures. I don't know what the functioning temperatures are and they are not publicised in the manual from what I can see, but 40F degrees isn't it. Anyway, those nit-picks aside, it really is a great telescope and we've had hours of enjoyment from it.

Looks great and is alot lighter that I expected!

Very easy to put together. Shipping was a little rough with the package as it didn't have "Fragile" written all over it! (What WOULD need it if not a telescope?) Because of the rough treatment, it needed to be culminated out of the box. Not a hard task and is good to know anyways.

As this is an Xmas present, I couldn't really "break it out" but I did manage to sneak a peak at the moon before wrapping it up! WOW! Can't wait to spend a few hours a week outside with my boys!

I suggest getting the accessorie package of the extra lenses and filters from celestron. It will give you more bang for your buck and they're high quality lenses!

G.W. Schleidt Green Sphere Braided Stem Radiometer Review

Customer Ratings:

I bought my husband one of these gadgets but in a different color several years ago. Unfortunately I had placed it on a window sill and knocked it off into the floor. He was REALLY annoyed that I had broken it and bought a cheap-o imitation. SO this Christmas I anticipate that he will be delighted with this almost identical one.

Leap 2 Reading: Disney & Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." Review

Customer Ratings:

Monsters, Inc. was a big hit with our family, so I had to pick this book up for my 4 year old daughter (even though it's recommended for 6-8). She loves this, and wants to play with it every day. A few of the games are hard for her, but mostly, it's no problem. She is a good reader, so the reading part is fine.

This Monsters Inc. Leap Pad Books is my 6 year old son's hands down favorite! Although he has other leap pad books, this is the one he returns to time and again. He started by playing the games and then began reading along with the story. Highly recommended product, even fun for adults to play. !

My 4 year old son is big into super heroes and loves his new smart cycle game! He just recently got it, so I don't know too much about the game itself, but he sat in his room peddling away for 45 minutes without taking a break!! It was added excitement for him when he got to wear the 3D glasses to do the racing portion. We are very happy with this purchase!

This abacus is truly great. When I first got it I was a little disappointed that it was all plastic and seemed kind of cheapy. But it works great and I've grown to really love it. I'm homeschooling my daughter and it's been so valuable in teaching her about numbers, adding, subtracting and place values. She thinks it's fun and likes to use it. I like the compact yet functional size of this abacus. It doesn't have a stand so it just lies flat on the table, but that doens't seem to be a problem. We also use it to make pictures, which is not only fun, but also helps my daughter better understand patterns. Definitely happy with this product.

This is the best abacus we have found. Numbers across the top help "count". We homeschool and use this very often. We even use it for games so our 5 yr old can add up roll. Nice size and counters easy to manipulate for little or big fingers.

Fourth grader is significantly behind in math. This tool helped bring up her skills and grasp concepts. Got one for the kindergarten student who does fourth grade math in his head and could not be left out. They still "play" with them.

I like it, it is very durable, and numbers goes up and down :) Also I like that it is not big, and easy to take anywhere even can be places at a stroller table. My baby (19months) likes it and we just started to count together. I use it not very often right now, but it has very big potential,next step after she will master counting till 100 (she now only good till 20 that's why we are not very often use the product right now) we will do addition and due to numbers from 10 to 1 it is very easy to minus on the Abacus. I think it is much better then other similar products.

Best Hasbro Playskool Let's Play Together Peek & Pop Giraffes Deals

Customer Ratings:

My 8 month old daughter loves this toy!!!! She likes the giraffes because they pop up and down. She also likes the rings, they have beads inside that shake, and little tags on one of them that she can chew on. She especially loves to chew on their ears! Haha. She has NO trouble putting the rings on or taking the rings off. I will certainly buy this as a gift for others if the occassion arrives!

As any typical grandmother I purchased this toy long before Grace is actually old enough to truly play with it. However, even at this age, she loves having one of the rings placed on her arm so she can bang it around and hear the rattle. This is reminscent of the stacking rings I played with as a child, but the rings here are stiffer and while she can chew on them, they won't puncture or become torn. Awesome design and the giraffes are really cute!

My 9 month old loves this toy. It was his favorite Christmas present. We haven't had a problem with the ears. It's a no frill, no noise, not battery toy. I agree with the other reviewer, there's little Peek-a-boo action, but we're not too bothered by it. My son loves to feel the different rings and hear the different sounds they make. Best of all, he likes throwing things

Honest reviews on Hasbro Playskool Let's Play Together Peek & Pop Giraffes

Cons: My 10-month old was doing a great job putting the post in the center of the ring but couldn't stack them because the rings get stuck on the ears of the giraffes. It takes a good bit of effort to push the rings past the ears. A baby just won't do it. So I cut them off and now it works well. The peek-a-boo feature is pointless. The distance that the giraffes "pop up" is so tiny the baby doesn't notice or care.

Pros: The rings can stack in any order. Baby isn't frustrated because they put the small ring on first and can't stack any more like the fisher price version. Also, the two posts are fun because he can put all the rings on one post then unstack them onto the other over...and over... and over. Another pro...the toy makes no noise and takes no batteries. It is also great that the rings make noises when you shake them and have things inside like a peek-a-block would.

Overall not bad, but you have to mutilate the giraffe's ears first and they look kinda sad now.

I got this for my 9 month old, thinking it would be a nice diversion from the traditional rock-n-stack; however, she's not thrilled with it and I'm thinking of getting the rock-n-stack anyway. We didn't have the problem described with the giraffe's ears, but the rings are kind of heavy for her (she's got some disabilities though, so it could just be her), and the colors aren't very engaging. It's a very cute toy, it just doesn't get a ton of play time in our house.

Reviews of Gymboree Echo Microphone - Color GREEN

Customer Ratings:

Bought this to help my toddler with speech therapy. I remember these as a kid being really fun to use and loud, but this one is pretty junky. You have to hold it literally right to your mouth, yell into it and even then, you hardly hear a thing and there's practically zero echo. Cute colors and durable, just not what I was expecting performance wise from the Gymboree label. The little one's not the least bit interested in it.

Best Learning Resources Radius Audio Learning System (LER6910) Deals

Customer Ratings:

As a teacher, I have to say that I LOVE my Radius. I recently purchased one on Ebay and the set included the Radius system, the Blends and Diagraph cd card set, and the Long Vowel cd card set...all for $150! This to me is a must have in any classroom. The features that I love are 1.) You can use the Radius as a standard cd player as well 2.) The cards a sturdy and durable and in any event if one of the cards became damaged, you can still us the Radius to locate the card 3.) It comes in this really nice carrying case to prevent damage 4.) The cd sets are made for different grade levels 5.) It's very simple for children to use 6.) In each card set there are teacher notes that explain varies ways of presenting the skill to the students 7.) In each set there is an answer key...so you can follow along with students and assess their answers 8.) It's a great informal testing tool 9.) It's great for small group instruction, independent practice and centers 10.) All the cards in any set you purchase are numbered in order and the key lets you know the answers and what words the students will learn on each card 11.) There are review cards after all of the lessons 12.) You can use up to four headphones or use speakers 13.) The look, listen, write and speak cards have the students to look at the words, listen to how the words are pronounced and sound (phonics), write the words on paper, and my favorite is the speak/record feature. This allows students to record how they sound when pronouncing words 14.) You can buy sets that fit your classroom needs

I was quite surprised when I opened the box, I thought it was going to be a small device, but it is large with easy to see functions...overall, I think that this is one of my best educational purchases I've purchased in awhile. The students love it and it's hands-on which makes it more enjoyable. The Radius and cd card sets are pricey but your money will be well spent!

One more thing...this is listed as a toy, it's not, it's an educational resource tool for teachers or parents

el metodo me parecio muy bueno, pero el cd se traba, no lee siempre las tarjetas, aveces se reinicia solo, por lo que lo regrese una vez y pedi que me lo cambiaran por otro, y efectivamente me enviaron otro, pero ya paso el mes para poderlo devolver, y tengo los mismos problemas que con el primero, se traba, se reinicia, no lee siempre las tarjetas correctamente, etc. No vale la pena compralo por el precio y el mal funcionamiento, realmente yo crei que por lo que estaba pagando iba obtener un mucho mejor producto. NO LO RECOMIENDO.

Cheap Moover Baby Truck Red

Customer Ratings:

We purchased this truck for our son's first birthday. It's big for a toy truck and tiny for a ride on so it's a good size for him right now. I was surprised that it was a bit more difficult to put together than I had anticipated. The crane didn't want to snap in place and I was afraid it would break, but it didn't. and the string holding the crane was incredibly difficult to thread through the hole. We had to resort to some tape and tweezers. Additionally, every time I go to pick it up and move it, I get frustrated because the piece I grab lifts off. I think I will manage to train myself to pick it up by the cab.

All that aside, it appears to be well constructed, doesn't make any noises or require batteries and is easy on the eyes all positives in my book. The back top piece comes off so my son enjoys hiding away some of his smaller toys in there and is surprised to find them later.
