These were purchased for my grandson, a preschooler. He loves them and has been working in them. As soon as he saw the sesame street characters he was interested. Very well packaged.

Best Deals for Set of 4 Sesame Street Workbooks: Alphabet with Elmo, Numbers

We loved these books. We actually bought them from Family Dollar for $1 a piece (so check there first before ordering on Amazon!) and they far exceeded my expectations for $1 workbooks. They are full color, with all the Sesame Street characters, and have varying skill levels that can grow with your child. We skipped the color one with Ernie because my 3 1/2 year old already had that down. But Elmo and Big Bird were nice little introductions with areas to color and trace, increasing familiarity with letters and numbers.

The Cookie Monster one really shines though. There is little letter "tracing" as it's geared towards phonics not writing, per say, as you go through each letter circling pictures that begin with that letter sound. If it was just that I'd be a little bored with it, but they have great little games speared throughout that are essentially "phonics color by number" or a "phonics tic tac toe". The last 10 pages are the best because they're really hard! It has the child start to identify beginning and ending sounds to words in various games, matching picture to it's first letter or ending letter, and then finally actually writing the beginning and ending letters together on the blank lines under a picture.

It made my 3 1/2 year old feel really capable because she could do the beginning pages all by herself and then I could help her grow and progress as we did the back pages together, learning how to listen for even middle sounds. It was a great workbook. Definitely recommend the set as an inexpensive first introduction to letters and numbers.

I'd recommend that your child be able to ID both upper case and lower case letters before progressing to the Letter Sounds with Cookie Monster book.

I bought these work books thinking they were flash cards. It was my own fault I didn't read the discription. I am keeping the work book cause I know I can use them later for my son. He is only 18 months now so they are a little premature.

Cheap Handle for Sensory Brush

Customer Ratings:

My son has sensory processing disorder, and his occupational therapist provided us with one brush for his brushing therapy. I love the handle because it makes it easier for an adult to handle the small brush.

This is a specific handle for the related sensory brush. It is designed for people, mostly children, who have sensory integration issues.

The handle snaps on snugly, and can be used over time on multiple brushes. I wish there was a choice of color, unfortunately you get what they send. Overall this was a helpful purchase. If you are planning on ordering the related sensory brushes, it is a good idea to get a handle or two. It will make brushing easier.

This brush gets right down into the nail, cuticle and hand creases for really clean hands. The "sold separately" clip on grip is a must.

Honest reviews on Handle for Sensory Brush

Fits tightly and secure, but not so tight that it cant be removed. Just the right size for most hands.

I teach 4th grade and my students use this model in our science station. One child can hold the labeled section and let their partner practice naming the correct parts of the plant cell. Plant cells are heavily tested on our state achievement test each year. If you're teaching plant cells, buy this! Get the animal cell model, too. It's great to have them both at students' fingertips so they can compare and contrast the structures.

Great basic cell model. Suitable for all levels in discussing the basics of eukaryotic and or plant cells. Extremely durable.

The only thing that was not up to our satisfaction was the cutting tool. The sissors were dull and made the operation difficult.

I did this with my seven year old who is very curious about the way things work. It had very clear instructions and was very informative. It comes with everything needed so I didn't have to purchase any additional supplies. It does take awhile to complete but gives the option of completing one section first and then the rest later. All in all, it's a great product and I recommend.

Bought this for my daughter's 8th birthday. She loves it and it has encouraged her to write every night. The pages are colorful and inviting, and there are plenty of them. The quality is as expected!

Review of First Act Discovery Rock N Roll Guitar

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my 6-yr old daughter. She loves it! It has the buttons to press to make different sounds, so that makes it fun for her. Her little sister dances to the music! It is cheaper at Toys R Us. Only problem I see is that it didn't come with a strap so she can hold it around her shoulders/neck. That is sold separately. But for the value ($20 at toys r us), good deal!

Cheap Safari Ltd Carnegie Collection- Acrocanthosaurus

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $9.99
Sale Price: $8.38
Today's Bonus: 16% Off

I like when lesser-known creatures get the honor of a replica, and I like when an unique action pose is used. But there is a risk for these companies with both, and this time the results were less than stellar. The sculpt is good, but the paint is merely safe. That would be OK if there were other points of interest about this creature, but the only thing that gets my attention is the strange posture. What the heck is it doing? About to be sick? Choking up a fur ball? Ducking to avoid an old girlfriend? Assuming the fetal position after some bad news? The most interesting thing about this gut is figuring out his psych profile.

I expect they saw this one facing off with some smaller plant eater, but it's not easy to do. My son puts different little vegetarians in front and it still just looks like acrocanthosaurus just bumped his head or something (you can almost see him trying to rub his head with his sawed-off little arms and cursing).

Four stars for making a new realistic animal available in some other position than attention. But I wouldn't rush to put this guy in you stable unless just want one of everything, or you have all of the hundred other better ones.

I bought a bunch of these over several years for my nephew who was into dinosaurs. (Now, not so much.) He liked them fine and played with them fine, but I didn't get the impression from his mom or from what I saw that he loved these any more than he loved the cheap ones you get at like Dollar Tree or WalMart. They all went into the same Bucket O Dinos and got dumped in the dirt the same, got dumped in the bathtub the same, slept in his bed the same (ouch) etc. And he doesn't seem any more knowledgeable about dinosaurs than any other kid his age either, though I grant you he doesn't seem to think they shot lasers out of their eyes or got captured into a Pokeball or whatever either. I would buy them again for my own son but probably not for anyone else's because there are other toys where it looks like you get more for your money.

Watch-A-Bug Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My 3 year old loves this watch because it leaves his hands free to catch additional insects/bugs; and I love this watch because it tightly clicks shut! So many other bug "boxes" and containers just have lids that are placed on top but don't lock into place which means 99% of the time the little critters are going to end up in places you don't want them! (such as running around your house or in your car while you are driving and your child is strapped in his carseat so obviously can't re-catch them). I have bought about a dozen or so other bug "boxes" or "houses or "containers" and this is by far the best one. I only wish I had found it before wasting all my money on all those others.

I ordered this for our 4.5yo son for Christmas, to use next Spring. I broke down & gave it to him when it came today & he LOVES it! Now our 5.5yo son wants one too, & he's not even the tree hugger! LoL

I think it's a great idea-kinda gross to think they're on their arm, but there's plenty of sturdy plastic between wrist & bug!

Best Deals for Watch-A-Bug

I bought these for a couple of 4 year old boys who love to collect all things creepy crawly. Only thing is that the poor little insects often receive a bit too much loving while being clamped in their small, moist hands. This frequently turns out to be an unfortunate end for the bugs and results in heartbroken little guys who were trying to be gentle with their new buggy friends. The wrist habitat offers the insect a semi-safe spot to be viewed and "befriended" by little folk. It also gives an opportunity for parents to instill some early compassion in their children; such as, "Honey, I think that Calvin the Cricket has ridden around long enough now and would probably like to go home to see his family. Maybe another bug can take a turn for a bit." After one or two of these suggestions, I've noticed that the kids become very conscientious about returning their bugs to the spot where they were originally found. So, all in all, a fun accessory to observe bugs; but also an opportunity for the little ones to think things through and learn about other living creatures around them.

I just bought this for my 5 year old daughter. She loves rolly-polly's and is always carrying them around. Now she can stop handing them to me and just put them in her watch.

LEGO Duplo Little Forest Friends Counting Game Review

Customer Ratings:

This game is really sweet, and a lot of fun with preschoolers. My two year old has giggly fun counting the number of steps during play for each person. Each play card in the basic set has a number and countable forest things like flowers, snails, ladybugs, etc. Additional card sets and more complex rules can be used to make the game more challenging for older children... addition and subtraction sets. The game pieces include the cute Little Forest Friends in four different colors, small snail and flower cards to add complexity on the board, and 3 duplo bricks in each of the four colors (2-4 players). Really cute and very fun to play such a game with a child just learning how to take turns and count!

I have to say, that it is a really a shame when such cute, simple and fun toys with educational value ends up being so difficult to find. When the price gets way too high, such toys become unobtainable for the very kids that could get so much joy out of playing with them with 'grownups'. I got this game for less than $10 on Ebay just a few months ago, and I hope that Lego can make this game again and make it more widely available, at a price point that makes it accessible to more kids.

I purchased this for my daughter's first birthday. I was not sure if I wanted to get it, since it only had one review at the time, but it is a great toy! She cannot quite flip the ball to the top but she likes to watch me do it, and she loves to watch the balls roll around. I love that the balls are on the inside...I don't have to worry about her swallowing a ball, or having to find the missing balls. Great toy overall!

I think my boys will find this more interesting when we use it for demonstrating simple addition and subtraction, right now as a simple toy, it doesn't get a whole lot of play. But I can see it coming in handy teaching low number/introductory addition and subtraction with the numbers printed in both places (above and below). It's solid wood and high quality.

Honest reviews on Wonderworld Counting Ball

I love this toy. Even my 11 and 8 year olds love to play with it. There is something therapuetic about it. I haven't used it with a toddler but with a life skills child. It did not make her counting/adding/subtracts skills any better than using manipulatives on a table. She got lost in putting the balls up and taking them down. Therefore, don't expect it to help them learn to count but it is a good reinforcer if you sit and play with them. It is made of sturdy wood and could probably withstand any kid.
