Reviews of Vtech InnoTab 2 Learning App Tablet 9 Volt AC Power Adapter
My daughter loves her inno tablet 2,she received as a bday gift from family. We purchased the adapter because we had to keep replacing the batteries too often. The unit itself seems to eat AA batteries! She didn't even leave it on for long periods of time??

Discount World Prehistoric Illustrated, 38x54
I have 2 dinosaur crazy boys (4 & 6y) and this is perfect on a wall in their playroom. It has little icons for different "aspects" of a creature (herbivore, carnivore, omnivore and also type of creature bird, mammal, reptile, dinosaur etc). The evolution chart goes all the way from Precambrian to modern human, and my kids now can tell me more about australopithicus and neanderthals that I know :) I put it up on the wall close to the floor and put a rug and pillows by it, and boys spend a lot of time trying to find dinosaurs and other creatures and figuring out when they existed and what they ate and they make up games with it.
I was actually trying to find a map with the continents they way they are today, and different places where we have found the fossils, but this one actually has the land mass as it was in some random period of time in earth's history which I wish was different but the kids love it, and are learning something from it, and its an interesting colorful addition to the playroom, so no complaints. And we did get to talk about why the land in the map looks different from the map in their atlas, so maybe its not so bad after all :)

Cheap Kimmidoll Junior: Aesha Lock-up Journal by Kids Preferred
I ordered this journal for my neice's 5th birthday. She had been wanting a diary with a lock and this was just too cute not to get.
It was even cuter in person and seemed fairly durable. The little heart lock is precious, but isnt the highest quality. Actually took me a few tries to unlock because it is not spring loaded, you have to turn and pull simultaneously.
Overall a great journal, highly recommended!

Reviews of PowerTouch Learning System - Dragon Tales: Search for Baby Rhyme
I am so sorry for waiting waaayyy too long before writing a review but we bought the "computer" base at a goodwill for 5 bucks and so I spent about 50 bucks on a whole bunch of books and I have to tell you, two of my kids went through them and I am getting ready to send the whole lot to goodwill with the hopes that another family will have fun with the set. Two thumbs up.Why in the world would the price for this item be $1498.99??? Is that a typo? Who in their right mind would purchase a kid's book for this much? Ridiculous!!!

LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Kindergarten Review
I bought a leapster for Christmas, and I have the Sponge Bob, the Dora, the Kindergarten, the 1st grade and the cartridge it comes with. Out of all those cartridges the one all my kids like the best is the kindergarten. My 7 year old played it today for almost 2 hours, my 3 year old played it for at least 30 minutes, and even my 5th grader enjoyed it for a whole hour. Of all the games it is the one that is the most like an educational game boy game. You are at a carnival and you are trying to earn tickets to build the funniest monster and to buy cool tunes for it to dance to for the show. You can then make the monster do funny dance moves for the show. Games to earn tickets include a balloon popping game that teaches opposites, a candy making game that teaches sequences/ patterns, a blaster one, and the fun house that is like a game boy where you have to find the letters to spell certain words. You earn red tickets at certain games and blue tickets at other games, then as you buy monster parts it teaches addition. I have to admit even I have enjoyed playing it and think it is the best of all the leapster games out.
Can't wait for more games to come out.

My son is newly 5 years old. I first purchased the Leap Pad quite some time ago and it seems, even to this day, he's too young for it or he just gets bored of it quickly. I purchased the Leapster for Christmas and he LOVES it. On his birthday, I gave him the kindergarten software. (He will be going into Kingergarten this coming September). Its his FAVORITE one to date. Its like owning a video game, only EDUCATIONAL. He plays with it CONSTANTLY while learning his letters, numbers and even how to spell small words. I can't rave about it enough.Best Deals for LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Kindergarten
I have a 4 year old that got this for Christmas. I have been trying to get him interested in alphabet, numbers anything!!! Well, this toy did it! He has spent more time learning than playing with his beloved action figures. I would recommend this item very very highly. Great games, very simple controls and easy to set up. Games have lots of levels that make it a challenge as they grow.Can't wait for more games to come out.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Kindergarten
I bought this for my little boys 3rd birthday, he loves Leapster. It has been dropped and banged and still works. He is now 3 and a half and can write his name and some other words, he knows all his letters and sounds. Leapster has really helped him. My little girl is about to turn 2 and she loves the painting programs.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Kindergarten
Santa brought this cartridge, the Leapster and some additional Leapster cartridges for Christmas to our little boy who is almost 4. Each game we have for the leapster my little boy has really liked but he does have his favorites and this is one of them that he will play longer than some of the other cartridges he has. It is full of learning games and the little carnival and little monster you get to build is so cute! You would have to play this game to understand, but it definately is worth every penny! If you are looking for something for your child to keep playing with after 3 months and to keep learning from dailythen purchase this cartridge!Sunday, October 12, 2014
Buy Replogle Globes Leather Expedition Globe, 12-Inch Diameter
This is a beautiful globe but unfortunately I cannot recommend it due to large flaws that detract from its use.
The first globe I ordered came with a few misaligned latitude lines (which I was willing to overlook), and more importantly, some slits in the leather that looked like they would catch and possibly peel with regular handling. I called Replogle, and, after sharing photos with a helpful employee who seemed genuinely concerned with the issues, was generously offered a replacement ball that arrived via express mail. This new ball is very smooth but has significant misalignment that resulted in cropped names (the first letter of a number of countries in W. Africa and Europe was cropped, sometimes by half) and misaligned country boundaries along the same vertical line.
If you're not looking closely the globe is quite lovely, but cursory inspection turns up a number of flaws that should not appear on a $200 product (especially one meant as a gift). If you're interested in this globe I would encourage you to buy it at a store so you can inspect it and decide if you're willing to live with the flaws. Or try your luck here as I said, Replogle had wonderful customer service and may get these production problems worked out in the future. Until then, I won't be buying another Replogle product unless I see it in person.

We have been looking for a quality glode for my upstairs home office, and found it with this globe. The small manual that comes with it helps with really understandng the International date line, time zones, distances and brings World geography into perspectiveBest Deals for Replogle Globes Leather Expedition Globe, 12-Inch Diameter
I ordered this for my husband's birthday... he loves it, I love it! The quality is great, the price was reasonable, and it looks fantastic with our more traditional decor. We both really love the genuine leather material, it's quite nice. The only thing I would have changed is to make the topography texture raised a bit more.Saturday, September 27, 2014
Reviews of 8 Live Caterpillars - Two Rearing Cups
I purchased this item to use with my third grade classroom to show and teach metamorphosis. 7 caterpillars arrived alive and healthy and we are currently enjoying watching them grow! We can't wait for them to turn into beautiful butterflies! This is such a great way to teach students about the growing process of an animal because everyday the caterpillars have a significant amount of growth! Awesome product!

Pizza Mania Early Math Game Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $18.92
Today's Bonus: 24% Off

Even though Pizza Mania is technically an Early Math game, to my boys its just a fun game. It is a game that comes with four plastic pieces and pizza toppings, everything being quite durable! The game also comes with a pizza chef which is a plastic pizza guy who talks you through the game! He does require 3 AAA batteries, which are not included and his Italian voice makes my boys laugh. There are only two buttons on him, Start and Game so it is quite simple for my boys to play, but I do have to get them started as there are two games to choose from.
The first game, Pizza Party, is more for beginners (or younger players) as it uses basic adding and subtracting by 1-3 toppings. The chef tells players what toppings to add or take away from their pizzas.
The second game, Pizza Panic, is for more advanced players. It is basically the same as the first game but faster.
The games last about a minute and at the end of the game the chef will tell you what should be left on your pizza, whoever's pizza matches wins! So yes there can be more than one winner! I really like that there (hopefully) isn't just one winner, as so many games are about competition but this game is more about self-confidence and paying attention. It encourages players to pay attention, listen to directions and not necessarily compete. While it is for 2-4 players (ages 4 and up) , really one person can play on their own to practice. My 3 year old loves to make the pizzas on his own and he is slowly understanding that he needs to listen to the pizza chef's directions.

Love this toy! As a former teacher, now a childcare provider, I would recommend this toy! The pieces are rubber and extremely cute! Excellent for teaching children to follow directions and learning to realize its ok to not always be correct, so long as they tried. Only thing I'd recommend is maybe a clearer voice from pizza man. You can understand him fine just could be a little clearer. But love the concept!!Best Deals for Pizza Mania Early Math Game
I purchased the "Pizza Mania Early Math Game" for my younger kids as an educational tool, to use in their homeschooling education. I had no idea of just how great an item it was until after having received it. The quality is exceptional, and my kids who absolutely love pizza, were blown away when I presented them with it to play it the first time. It was an investment of $20.00 that far exceeded my expectations, and as I said my kids love playing it. We even take it to doctor's appointments so that the kids can play it while waiting to be seen by their doctor.Honest reviews on Pizza Mania Early Math Game
My three year old grandaughter loves this game. It's definitely helped with her math skills. The pieces are sturdy, and the toppings look real.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Pizza Mania Early Math Game
This was purchased for my 4 year old granddaughter. She enjoys playing it and will sometimes play by herself. My only complaint is the volume. As another reviewer stated it would be nice to have a volume switch on it. The volume for the pizza man giving the instructions is fine, it's the background music that is to loud. Sometimes it is hard to hear the instructions over the music.Thursday, September 11, 2014
Discount Uncle Milton Nat Geo Dino Xcavator
Bought this for a 10 year old aspiring Paleontologist. She LOVES it. It's like Operation but with dinosaur bones. It's definitely the favorite thing she got for Christmas this year. It is maybe a little young for her since she knows all the answers to the questions on the cards already but she really enjoys the pulling the bones out part. Definitely recommend for any kid that has a real interest in dinosaurs.
She will also play the game individually. We do not use the cards that came with the game as my daughter would rather just "maniacally" go at the dinosaur
The pieces are small and easily lost so it is important to bag them up immediately after the game is over. I still gave the toy a 4 because my daughter loves to purposely make the dinosaur roar and likes to play with the pieces even without the game (a big mistake on my part because i think we are now missing pieces). .

My 5 yr. old granddaughter really likes the dinosaur world and this really got her attention she played it constantly.Best Deals for Uncle Milton Nat Geo Dino Xcavator
My 4 yr. old loves this game. However, her dexterity is not quite developed enough to use the tweezers to get all the pieces out. After awhile, she gets a little tired of trying (even when on a "successful run") and then resorts to pulling the pieces out with her hands. There is one piece on the board that is so hard that my husband and I have an extremely difficult time getting it out. It does create an opportunity for lot of laughter.She will also play the game individually.

Discount Tactile Ball - Model A92660
Good sturdy ball. With some heft to it. My 15 month old loves to carry it around and sit on it my daughter who is 3 likes to lay on it and balance on it and I even find adult friends grab it and play around because it is not like any other ball you find in regular stores.
Reviews of 3B Scientific A70/1 Lumbar Penholder
I really liked how anatomically correct (close enough for a pen holder) this product is! I gave it as a gift to an anatomy professor. It's a unique gift that I'm sure will be a conversation starter. A plus: it's made in Germany, not China. Would have preferred a Made in USA, but Germany is still okay.

Review of LeapFrog Tag System with BONUS Storage Case and 2 Storybooks
I have found this toy in big box retail stores for $50-$55. What's with the price here on Amazon??? My daughter really enjoyed it in the store,so I did give it four stars for that, but I sure wont be buying it online.I can't say enough how great this toy is. Set up was super easy and my 4 yr old daughter just loves it. The volume on the little pen was surprising. You can turn it up or down. On its highest it is not annoying and your child can hear very clearly what is being said. As said in the title....GREAT JOB LEAP FROG.
