I really like the fact that they branched out to include IG's (Italian Greyhounds) to encompass this product as well as the other more popular breeds, of course I am a biased IG owner reviewer ;)

However, the magnet itself is sturdy, has a strong magnetic backing and a semi-shiny sheen to it and looks like it will take a fall or two from the fridge to the floor. However, my only real concern regarding the magnet is the lettering size. The font size is very small so you have to pick it up in your hand to read it, and probably isn't the best font size for those who are far-sighted etc.

Other than that, the "rules" it lists are very humorous and cute and any dog-lover will agree that they follow a puppy's mindset exactly!

For a sub-$300 microscope, this is a very good value. But compared to Nikon or Olympus professional models that cost 10 times more, it would be an unfair comparison. Simply put, optical and mechanical quality and performance fall well short of professional models. For students and hobbyists, this is more than adequate.

I also bought the Phase Contrast Kit (Model PCT) directly from Amscope for $684. When I was purchasing it, I thought it was a bit strange that Amscope priced the contrast kit so high since the microscopes it was designed to be used with cost only a fraction. I thought maybe the quality of the contrast kit might be high. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. It was not really useable so I ended up returning it.

The reason why I mention the Phase Contrast kit is this. For anyone considering buying anything from Amscope, buy from Amazon if you can. Returning anything to Amazon is exceptionally easy. That's not the case if you buy directly from Amscope. I had to call 3 times to get an RMA number, then call 3 times to get a refund processed. They eventually refunded the full price less shipping cost but it took too much effort to make that happen. Their technical support is non-existent.

This is an amazing microscope and I would recommend it to everybody. It is a "heavy duty" one so you do not need to worry about it breaking. My 7 and 8 year old played with it all day after some instructions how to use it. Unless this microscope gets dropped on the floor, there really is nothing that they could break. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the lenses and how easy it is to operate it. The detail you see even at the lowest setting is amazing. It also comes with a dustcover.

I am trying to find a sturdy case for it and all the extra lenses and attachments that come with it. If anybody can advise me on this, that would be great.

Best Deals for AmScope 40X-2000X Full-Size 17 Lbs Professional Trinocular Lab

I just bought the 40x-2000x Lab Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope (Dec 2011). The reason I choose this model was for the mechanical stage (sturdy, no wobbly), the 350 degree rotation head for 3 or 4 people to use without moving around and for camera use if I buy one in the future, and price. I received it and everything looks fine. I tested it with some of the slides I ordered along with the microscope and it works really well. I will suggest you buy a cleaning kit along with the microscope. I wish I had one when I received mine. Also, you will need a storage or traveling box. Amscope sells 2 different ones for this microscope. I am still shopping around. I wish I had compare the warranty between the microscopes before I bought mine. This one only has 5 years warranty. I will suggest you look at a friend microscope before you buy one. This is a big investment (at least for me) Cover all your bases before you make your decision. I expect this microscope to be used by my children for all of their homeschooling years.

Honest reviews on AmScope 40X-2000X Full-Size 17 Lbs Professional Trinocular Lab

When I bought this I didn't really understand how important all the various bits of functionality were. Its now obvious and I'm glad they are all there, the little diaphram above the light, the ability to move the lens above the light up and down, very nice xy movement of the slide. With practice you can move the slide anywhere you want and refocus at the same time without looking up from the slide. Anyway I really like it, great quality.

I bought this 40X-2000X trinocular microscope through Amazon. Had it in 3 days! "I LOVE IT" My first microscope was one of the rather cheap digital ones, with the built in screen, no eye piece. They are just toys. But it got me interested enough that I purchased this AmScope. BIG difference. This AmScope is very well made, has weight, full size, and very clear optics. I want to get an adapter so I can use my Pentax DSLR to get pictures. I bought one of the cheap Celestron tube imagers. It works, but that's about all. But for $39 what do you expect. I know with a more expensive camera, I will get fantastic pictures. I'm very happy with my purchase. And because I'm an Amazon "Prime" member, I got FREE shipping.

Bought this as a study tool for class, and as a student did not have much to spend on it. It does the trick of allowing me to study most of the large structures of the spine, however it does have some issues. The spinal nerves are not in place well and tend to fall out randomly, the spine is not able to hold its curves, although it is flexible, it will not stay when you bend it, important features that I need to know are not even on the vertebra. So, all in all, it was cheap and allows me to study most things, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, or purchase it again.

I bought this for a colleague after she commented repeatedly on how much she liked the full size high quality model of the spine that I have in my office. Since I'd intended the purchase mostly as a joke, this served the purpose well. It is close enough to anatomical accuracy to demonstrate some very simple concepts and it does fit nicely on a desk. However, the construction of and connection between the vertebrae makes it impossible to position the spine with a normal curvature so it ends up looking like a stack of vertebrae hanging from a string with a pelvis at the bottom. Also, the spinal nerves are cheap plastic with "flaps" hanging along the seams, I assume from the plastic molding process. Overall, this is quite suitable as a novelty or a toy.

Wee Gallery Art Cards for Baby Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought these on the recommendation of a friend whose son is now 9 months for my then 2 mo old (now 3 1/2 months). I was a little put off by the price because for some reason, I thought they were playing card sized, when they arrived they are about the size of a paperback or DVD package, and very sturdy and thick. My son loves to look at these and will follow them with his eyes and by turning his head. I had borrowed some black and white books by Tana Hoban for infants from the library which have solid shapes in black and white and my son couldn't care less about those images.

As far as the garden collection, I am sure that it doesn't matter to the baby which set you choose, but you will get use out of these and they seem to be substantial enough to be passed on to another child.

Got these cards before my son now 3 months was born. Well worth the price if you have an extra 12 bucks to spend! He won't be interested in these simple b/w images for much longer, so their usefulness is very short lived. But these were the first images he was interested in and the first thing that he could track 180 degrees (moved his head all the way from right to left side, following the cards). I sing "old mcDonald" with him and the 6 cards. Not many cards, but just right for teh attention span of an infant. His eyes get big and he focuses on each card with intensity. I think it's not only the simple B/w images that keep his attention, but the cards are just big enough to block his view of other competing objects that he likes to look at (such as Mommy, or the ceiling light).

I also used these cards for his first wall pictures in his room. I scanned a few cards, then blew them up and printed them and put them in some small white PB frames I had. He loves to look at them from his crib and changing table. Again short lived. I'll probably replace the prints with something more colorful in a few months time. But it's cheap to print and it was worth the effort to have my 1 month old stare contentedly at art while I changed him.

These cards are perfect for keeping the attention of your newborn. I have a little 8 week old and I've been using these cards in his crib since he was 5 weeks old. He loves to just stare at them and observe them when he's having his tummy time or if he's just laying on his back. The contrast of the colors are perfect. I love that they are reverse colors on the other side. If he gets tired of looking at one side you just flip the card over and there's the same image but in different shades. It's great! And the cards are very durable they are not easily bendable and if they happen to get dirty they wipe off quite easily. I've gotten two other sets for him.

Honest reviews on Wee Gallery Art Cards for Baby

These cards are wonderful for young babies. My baby started looking at these at around 6 weeks oldlong before he was interested in any toys. We hung them up over his changing table and he was totally mesmerized. They are perfect for bringing along when you leave the house to keep small babies entertained. They hardly take up any room in a diaper bag or purse. At 2 or 3 months, my baby would happily stare at them through a whole meal at a restaurant. Now, at 4 months, he likes to pick them up and chew on them. They are holding up amazingly well. They're made out of a thick sturdy cardboard, like board book pages. I highly recommend these.

I had heard that newborns can only see black and white images. We put the pictures alongside our changing table--eye level for our baby. I am not kidding that he looked at them the 2nd day he was home from the hospital. It seemed to keep him "busy" (well, as busy as a newborn can be) while i took care of the changing business. Also very cute! Even have a second pair to tote around.

I was having a hard time finding a gift for my 5 month old grandson because so much is passed down from his older sister, and I think a lot of what is found in stores is nothing special. I remembered that a neighbor had given his sister Safari Gears from Discovery Toys and she just loved it, so I decided to see what other things Discovery Toys offered. The Go Go Caterpillar had great reviews so that's what I went with -and no regrets! The 5 month old loves it now and it is something he can still play with as he grows. His 2 1/2 year old sister also liked playing with it. Construction and quality seem first-rate too.

VELLEMAN K2655 ELECTRONIC WATCHDOG KIT Review

Customer Ratings:

Security advisors suggest that potential burglars will ring your doorbell to find out if anyone is home before they break in. So, if they hear what is thought to be a "big" dog inside, they may go elsewhere. This kit is the "big" dog. I did research this before I purchased this kit. Another alternate might be an MP3 recording of a big dog. But, by the time you've built a triggering circuit, power supply, and audio amplifier, this kit could be cheaper and easier to implement.

There are lots of components to be soldered so you'll need some soldering skills or you'll likely have problems. The kit lacks a lot of detailed assembly instructions, but all of the parts are easy to identify and provided in the order that they are to be installed. Nothing was missing and everything was of good quality.

Required but not provided, is an AC or DC power source and a 4 ohm speaker. For "newbies" to electronics, this may be a negative. I have several dozen old "wall-warts" and was able to find a suitable 9 VDC power source. 4 ohm speakers are not all that common but I ordered one from Amazon. The unit worked the very first time. Making any noise triggered the unit via the included mike and it started barking (and drove my real dog nuts)!

I don't plan to use the mike trigger anyway. What I want to do is trigger the unit from my doorbell, only enabling this when we, and our dog, are not home. Triggering from the doorbell causes a little more design and build in that you have to covert the 16 VAC doorbell signal to a switch closure. The kit does tell you how to use an external trigger. Another job is to create an enclosure for all of the circuitry and the speaker.

I think you can find and buy something similarly advertised and completely built but at a significantly higher price and I don't know if these pre-built designs work the same. For the price and time invested, I think this is a good deal and maybe a good "starter" project for those interested in electronics. If you search for this model online, you will find that this price on Amazon is pretty good.

Buy Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy with Bonus CD

Customer Ratings:

Okay feel free to laugh. I bought one of these initially from a local store, brought it home, and set the sack in the floor while I unpack other items. My little Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix is EXTREMELY nosey and has to inspect all sacks when they enter our home. (She strongly suspects they all contain something for her.) She bumped this toy and "set it off" singing and talking. Once she overcame her fear and suspicions, she fell in LOVE with this toy. After all, it is incredibly cute, and it is interactive regardless if you are a human or a dog as long as the buttons are punched, it merrily sings and talks. It is also extremely durable. Normally she "guts" stuffed toys in about five minutes flat, but this little guy has stood up to some serious chewing, shaking, dragging across the floors (it is almost bigger than she is) and romping. However, my intent was to give this toy to my nephew (who is due at the end of September). Seeing how much she enjoyed the toy, I just went ahead and bought another one (with the CD this time) for him. It is the same toy, just a bonus CD. So, as unorthodox as it is, I can attest to some pretty tough durability after the tests my pup has put the toy through and her teeth are sharp and she can shake pretty hard, so I'm going to say everything will be safe and sound for my nephew. (He may be able to put it to tougher tests later, but we're good for a while.) :) I really like this toy and highly recommend it.

If you're choosing between this one and the Leap Frog My Pal Scout, go for Scout! My daughter now has both. However, I wouldn't buy this puppy again. The buttons/sensors in his hands/feet, etc, are way too sensitive! If you're dancing it around while it sings the ABC's, be prepared for it to stop and say "FOOT!" and discontinue because it doesn't take much to interrupt it. You barely have to push the buttons which, for some children, may be a good thing. However, it annoys me and I'm sure it will eventually annoy my child. I only spent $16 on this on a lightning deal here on Amazon, or I'd probably be sending it back. I've considered it... Besides Scout being better, you can also plug it into your computer and have it "learn" your child's favorite animal, food, color, and even your child's name... It can pronounce most names. I'm so much more of a fan of Scout...

I bought this toy for my 5-month-old daughter because my niece had the same one when she was a baby and I personally loved it! When I took it out of the packaging, I removed the demo tab, but it apparently stayed in demo mode. It would only sing part of each song, including the alphabet song only going up to the letter "p." I thought it was defective and prepared to return it. I read other reviews and realized that this was not uncommon. I took the batteries out and sorta jiggled the tabs next to the battery case with a blunt metal object. :-) After that, it worked fine and we both love it!

My daughter has the larger "Violet" Leap Frog toy and I purchased this cute mini version (I have the purple violet one... only difference is the color) for a long car trip. She LOVES this and it's her new "nighttime" toy. The little moon lights up. It has three buttons off, a "short" little song such as ("Naptime's here, my eyes, they close...") and then either 10 or 20 minutes of lullabies or nighttime music. The little "Blankie" is removable/washable and threads through the moon to stay put. My daughter is 10 months old. She puts the blanket up to her face and uses it to soothe herself to sleep. Highly recommend! (FYI you cannot customize your child's name like the bigger Violet/Scout).

Small kids like to push buttons and 3 buttons are too much for a child in the middle of the night. The sleep button is hard for my 20 month old to find when she is trying to turn it on herself while sleepy yet, the power button is in just the right place to turn the the sounds off as soon as she tries to cuddle it. The play time/nap button is the button seems to be the easiest to access.

When you push the sleepy time button it doesn't play the music or the nature sounds immediately. Instead it is a woman's voice says "10 min of lullabies, (press again) "20min of lullabies", (press again) "10 min of nature sounds", (press again) "20 min of nature sounds" before playing any music or nature sounds. I'm not sure if my daughter is repeatedly pressing the button trying to find the music and nature sounds because she is only hearing the woman's voice or if she is just pressing buttons.

The low volume is still a little loud but it works and I suppose it drowns out any other background noise that is happening in the house.

I like that it will play for 20 min. I like that it has the option of lullabies or nature sounds. I like the songs it plays.

Overall I am thinking of getting another seahorse for this second child since it is so easy for them to turn on by themselves, i just wish it had nature sounds.

Best BB400 Solderless Plug-in BreadBoard, 400 tie-points, 4 power rails Deals

Customer Ratings:

Everyone else has mentioned the key points. It's a BreadBoard. The last line of the right up does mention "Peelable adhesive tape backing provided for attaching to a surface."

Here is what isn't mentioned. This thing is designed to be snapped together. You can take the power rails off of one side and add them to the other or remove them all together. If you buy more than one of these you can snap them together to make a much larger BreadBoard.

Last point, there is a companion SB400, that is a single sided PC board that has the exact same layout as the BB400, so once you have a working design, you can transfer it right over to a PCB to solder finalize.

All in all I'm impressed with the thought that was put into this simple product.

This is a great little breadboard. Plenty of room for small projects, yet compact enough to be mountable without getting in the way. The plastic seems to be of high quality, and the adhesive really sticks! I've typically used a nice piece of hardwood as a base for different projects, and this breadboard fits great among the other components (battery holders, lasers, mechanical arms, etc...).

Keep in mind you can remove both power rails, and also join multiple boards together. A handy feature.

This is a breadboard. It's very simple yet incredibly helpful in prototyping circuits before committing to a permanent solder job. HOWEVER, this particular model can be ruined if you use the seemingly great adhesive bottom. All of the contacts are held in by the adhesive layer. I had this stuck to a project to keep the wiring stable, but when attempting to remove this product the adhesive layer tore off in chunks, taking the innards with it.

Needless to say, I'll be replacing it with something much more durable and well-designed.

If you buy this (the price isn't bad at all), just don't stick it to anything!

As a scientist mom you'd think I could easily get baking soda and vinegar from the kitchen and do these experiments without a stupid kit.

However I found that having specific "equipment" (test tubes) and "materials" engaged the interest of my kids. And most importantly, step by step suggestions for what experiments to do and what to say about them, helped me make this both interesting and educational for my kids.

My kids (3 and 4) went wild testing everything in the fridge to see if it contains acid (and thus if it would make baking soda fizz); they liked that they could guess from sourness and then test their predictions.

Ever since then my kids keep pestering me to do more chemistry. That's pretty significant. They make up (often quite wrong) theories about why different liquids fizz or mix the way they do. They got thinking about the fact that this is a question that can be asked, or that demands an explanation. To me that is a huge educational value.

Overall you could easily do the same things with kitchen materials and a well designed plan, but the kit makes it easy.

I was a little disapointed with this kit. We have seen better. I have to say that it does have educational notes in with each experiment to help teach what is going on. I was expecting a wider variety of experiments and more props. Kids love most of all to mix things and there were no droppers or little scoops to allow them to do that. The "chemicals" were all in opaque silver lined bags so they were hard to pour and impossible to get a hand in to dig contents out meaning that mom had to pour it all into the one measuring spoon taking some of the fun out of it all. A different kit we had purchased came with test tubes, droppers, measuring cups, little scoops etc. and they had more fun when they were able to do more things themselves! It's not a bad product just looks more involved from the box than it really is.

After attempting hands-on science by using a curriculum manual with my homeschooled children, I finally realized that I needed a "kit" that was open-and-go. And this kit was my answer!

Yes, there are items in the box that one would find in one's own pantry or cupboard, but I appreciate that everything is already there.

I used to use a curriculum, which claimed that all hands-on science experiments would require things found around the house. For some reason, however, those items were rarely in my home.

We have a large family, a child with special needs, are frequently running around taking a child to therapy, helping with our family's new business, etc. and I felt I was letting my children down by not following through with the experiments they so wanted to do.

I bought a few more "easy" science books and tried to implement those, but for one reason or another, things didn't work out.

A friend of mine suggested I look for some "science in a box" kits and I was nervous about what I would find. She recommended this company and I selected a couple of items, hoping it would work.

I was ecstatic when I opened the instructions to the first experiment to discover that the only items I had to fetch from my kitchen were a dish and a cup of water!

And as for future experiments, I have a very short list right up front of things I will plan to have on hand for when the time comes.

Clearly this kit is not for everyone, but for someone who is short on time and needs the simplicty of open-and-go, I recommend it.
