My 5 yr old got a leapster explorer for xmas. I looked all over at local stores but most of the games were far too expensive. I was so happy to find this on amazon at almost half the cost. He really enjoys the game and it challenges his skills.

Reviews of Firefish with Speaker

Customer Ratings:

I just received my new Firefish in the mail today! Excellently built and mine has more realistic looking flames than in the pic. This axe is definitely not just a kids guitar. It is a fun travel instrument and with the added speaker, makes it perfect for quiet practice. Thanks for making these available! And the little sets of Fishpicks are an added bonus.

Review of Arduino Adventures Full KIT - All the Components Required

Customer Ratings:

I just started Arduino Adventures with my 12 year old and was delighted to find this kit of parts that has everything I need to complete the challenges in the book. One thing to be aware of is that the book assumes you have an Arduino Uno R3 but this kit contains the Arduino Leonardo. It's almost the same thing but make sure you choose the right board from the "Tool" menu in the Arduino IDE! We had a few tense moments when the Serial Monitor showed complete gibberish instead of the expected output. Setting the board to "Leonardo" fixed this.

We can't wait for Challenge 2!

Do read my review of Arduino Adventures! Both the book and this kit were better than I expected.

Not only does this kit include every component you'll need to complete the challenges in the book, it has a few extras, does not skim on quality, and is a very good value.

The components included are of high quality the breadboards I received are the clear plastic kind, and the Arduino was Leonardo-based, has a micro USB connector, can act as a USB client, and it also has a wireless connector header for Xbee/Zigbee, etc.

Sure, you can buy all these components separately, and they may end up being cheaper, I really don't know. But the convenience of getting all the components in one place, and seeing the quality of what was packed in the box made this a good choice for me and my kids.

Nothing is in the way of us solving all the challenges from the Arduino Adventures book and rescuing Cade and Elle!

Thanks you for super fast shipping. And I got all the part listed with no damage.

And just to be aware for other user. From the product description the board is listed as Arduino compatible board. You may not get the Official Arduino itself. For my case I got the DFRobot Leonardo with Xbee socket, which so far I got no problem following the book with this board.

Overall super satisfy with shipping & customer service.

Thanks yous.

Review of Topzy Tumblers Silly Tumblers (boy)

Customer Ratings:

My 14 month old grandson loves these and goes for them more often than the Weebles we have. They flip over and are never upside down. They are slightly smaller than the other brand and fit inside a little truck he plays with at our house.

Topzy Tumblers (aka "Weebles" in our household) are a favorite with kids, parents, and grandparents alike. These are a great toy for little hands to pick up and the wobbling, rolling path it takes is fun for crawlers and toddlers. Even the older grandkid (1st grade) likes them, using them as "eggs" for his toy snakes. The original set is several years old and still going strong through the third grandchild. These were a recent addition for the latest baby.

These toys are my daughter's absolute favorite. She's loved them for 4 months, through a couple of stages of development. She really gets a kick out of the way they shake versus other toys and she loves to chases them around since their path is unpredictable. A must have, IMO.

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.

Reviews of BRIO Curved Switching Track

Customer Ratings:

We have several of these pieces. They are high quality, typical for the Brio name. They have stood up to many many years of playing by my three children and their friends.

The one negative point is that you can not control which way a battery operated train will chose to go on this track piece. There are others that you can control with a small switch which way the train goes. We enjoy those and use those more often than these. However, these are less expensive and still add to the fun of building a train.

BRIO is the most durable and has the best quality wooden train on the market. These are a must have to be able to extend the railway and your child's play. It is excellent in helping him/her in problem-solving skills in the process of developing/setting up a railway.

Review of Timez Attack Deluxe--Home License

Customer Ratings:

My children enjoy this game. Because they are always learning when they play it, I do not mind how long they play it. I bought it for my son who needed to practice multiplication for his grade. I watched my 5yr old son watch intently my older son playing this game. My 5yr old has learned some of his timestable. This game is able to sustain my very active 5yr old for hours at a time. I hope to find a similar one for addition and subtraction.

We had the free demo version for 2 days and my two kids are begging to play. No joke.

My 4th grader was in tears last year because of the timed tests at school (and hated doing them). So this past summer, I forced them to do flash cards, and got lots of resistance. The kids didn't WANT to learn their times tables and were determined to prove to me that they couldn't. (Maybe other kids aren't this stubborn / uncooperative.) But, the truth is, I can sympathize I hated learning my times tables too.

So if they will play -on their own -and practice the drills to defeat the ogre, I am psyched!

(Also, based on my training in pedagogy, the method seems sound: practice a bit, rest a bit, practice a bit more in several different ways, review.) I'm buying the upgrade version to see if we can get them through all the levels.

This online math game has been a huge help with my children remembering their math facts. In fact today my 4th grader came home with a timed multiplication test where he finished all the problems and scored 100%. I know for a fact his use of Timez Attack was a huge help to his mathematical success. My 1st, 3rd, and 6th grader are also excelling in math. Best decision I made to purchase the Deluxe version. Great product where you actually see the results.

Back when my daghters were young, I used this product in it's beta stages because they struggled with multiplication so much. So now that my youngest child is in third grade, and loves to game, I thought why not give it another shot. He LOVED it. I can't believe the changes that I have seen. They have come a very very long way from the Beta stages of the game. It helps him remember what he is learning which is beyond awesome. And it put's it into a fun way to learn!

Easy to download, free option available, but we went for the deluxe so he can mix things up. Love the addition that you can change your character from male to female (not an option in the beta). Keep up the wonderful work, highly recommend for anyone who wants to help their child learn multiplication/division/addition/subtraction!

Discount Safari Ltd Carnegie Collection - Woolly Mammoth

Customer Ratings:

I brought this for my 3 year old son at the T-Rex Cafe. I have never seen him so excited about a toy. He hasn't put it down yet and has carried it everywhere. It is heavy and well constructed so it puts up with abuse. I plan on buying the female mammoth and the sabretooth tiger so my son can have the "Ice Age" animals!

I got this woolly mammoth along with the smaller saber tooth tiger as a teaching aid so that the young people could see why the tiger's tooth "evolved" the way we find them in ice age mammoth skulls today. Just looking at a model of the skull itself with the long teeth makes it difficult for them to picture what was going on. This is a great teaching aid to show that the relationship was very much the same as we find between the elephant and tigers in Africa today.

Honest reviews on Safari Ltd Carnegie Collection - Woolly Mammoth

This wooly mammoth is a particular favorite. He is substantial and balanced so that he stands up to play and holds his position when placed in his imaginary scene. I would recommend these models to anyone who is looking for toys that engage a child's imagination and interest while representing prehistoric creatures realistically. These models are so durable they could easily outlast your child's childhood.

Reviews of LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game: Disney-Pixar Cars 2 (works

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $15.96
Today's Bonus: 36% Off

Recently my oldest son, 5 years old, received the new LeapPad from LeapFrog to review for free along with Disney Pixar Cars 2. The great thing about this learning tablet is that it takes the same cartridges as our Leapster Explorer. So when one boy isn't playing Disney Pixar Cars 2 on the LeapPad, he's playing it on the Leapster Explorer.

About the Game: In Disney Pixar Cars 2, children will join Mater and Lightening McQueen in a global race-turned-espionage tale. Along the way, children will practice measurements, problem-solving, graphs, sequencing and patterns.

I had to pry the game out of my son's hands to learn more about it to share with you. So that said, you can be sure he loved it on the LeapPad. And when he wasn't playing with Cars 2 on the LeapPad, my 4 year old was playing with it on the Leapster Explorer. But once I got my hands on it, I chose to play it on the LeapPad to share my thoughts with you.

From the Main Menu of the game there are 5 places to visit:

Adventure Mode: You drive around Radiator Springs finding collectibles. You can meet characters along the way to talk too. It lets you know when you can talk or stop somewhere. There are activities along the way, like customizing cars or keep Mater disguised using number sequencing. As you complete activities you can get badges.

Activity Mode: There looks like there are eight activities in this mode but two of ours were locked by the time I started playing. Activities in this mode include Airport Chase (matching, fine motor skills), Finn's Photo Mission (graphing), Secret Decoder (matching), Finn's Jump (fine motor skills, tracking), Oil Rig Chase (matching, reading signs, fine motor skills), Disguise Device (number sequencing).

Salvage Yard: Where collectibles from Radiator Springs adventure mode are stored.

Badges: The different badges earned.

Micromods: I haven't ever used micromods. You download them LeapWorld to change or enhance the game somehow. It could be new game music, character upgrades, game modes or moves, etc.

The only thing I was disappointed in was the packaging. I miss having a way to easily organize my games. I kept all previous Leapster Explorer Games in their boxes on a shelf, so the boys can easily find what they are looking for and put their games back. The new packaging has to be ripped apart to remove the game, leaving you with a loose game to easily misplace.

That is everything I discovered! Overall the game is pretty cute and I am impressed with the skills it's teaching. Cartridge games for Leapster Explorer and LeapPad usually retail for $24.99. If you find them less, it's a bargain.

I was shocked when my almost-4-year-old began playing this game! Mater the tow truck has to dodge machine gun bulllets from the car chasing him! This is completely inappropriate for young children! Exposing kids to gun violence in video games so early (or at all!) is part of a growing problem, especially in light of the recent school shootings. I was appalled that an educational toy would feature a game with machine gun violence. I had to take it away from my son and say goodbye to my $20.

Just purchased this game for my son. He was so excited to begin playing! Unfortunately, we have just wasted our money as I have to get rid of the game. I was appalled to find that there is shooting in this game something that is not allowed in our home. I understand that not all homes have this rule, but sure would be nice if Leap Frog disclosed this in their game descriptions so that parents could make educated decisions about the games they are purchasing for their children.

fischertechnik Profi Pneumatic II Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This toy is great, built several models with my 7 yrs old that was rapidly growing bored with lego & k'nex kits.

The compressor operation is impressive with all of the pneumatics working perfectly. All cylinders are clear and their workings can easily be explained to a younger audience.

A real great legacy toy that will be used for years.

I bought this for my seven year old for Christmas. It was a bit of an effort to get him to slow down enough to perform the 'easy' experiments that do a great job of demonstrating the mechanics of pneumatic systems, but we got through it and on to some of the more complicated, but very useful, demonstration projects. The instructions are very well written and offer thought provoking suggestions like 'how would you make this demonstration run faster?'. Although 9 or 10 year olds could certainly focus on and learn a lot while having fun with this kit, I think it's even better with some parent involvement. Fischertechnik makes some fantastic products many of their kits that my son now plays with were mine nearly 40 years ago.

Review of Fisher Price Classic Chatter Phone

List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $7.49
Today's Bonus: 63% Off

I bought this for my son because I had it as a child. I know we used to walk around dragging it as well as playing with it as a phone. The problem with this whole thing is that they shortened the two cords -the one to pull it while walking and the one from the base of the phone to the receiver -so much that they essentially defeat the purpose of the toy. My son is just about one year old and the receiver will not reach his ear when he is sitting with the toy on the floor. The pull cord is SO short I don't even think my small dog could walk and pull the thing. I understand the need for safety, but it's really taken a lot of the fun out of this toy.

In sum: it's nice to reminisce about your youth with this, but your child will not be able to use it in the same way you did. I'll look for a used old one rather than having purchased this one had I known what I know now.

How I survived my childhood with this toy, I don't know. Supposedly it was hazardous. This newer version still has the rotary dial with the same ringing (which I loved and still love--no batteries). The eyes move up and down when the wheels roll. The receiver seems a lot lighter in weight than I remember. The pull cord is very thin and cheap. I tie it up in a bow so it doesn't get caught or be a hazard. The cord attached to the receiver part is very short. For my almost 11-month old to hold it up to her ear, she has to lift up the whole phone. My daughter is petite in height, so since the toy is technically for age 12 months, I can really see the main phone go swinging when a child tries to bring the receiver to the ear. The cord to the receiver is the same thin cord as the pullcord--but a different color. I know a longer cord would be a choking hazard (that's my guess as to why it's so short), but it sure would make the phone a little more fun to use--so eventually a toddler could dial AND pretend to talk on the phone at the same time.
