My boys, 3 and 5 LOVE this toy! It's easy to use, they seem to find it realistic. It is a bit noisy, so if loud toys get on your nerves, this may not be the best choice, but they kids love it! It's been dropped several times on hardwood floors, and there is no visible damage so far. We've had it about 6 months, and it gets played with several times each day.

Cheap Learning Resources Deluxe Fraction Tower Set (LER2075)

My son loves Math and his school does not have an advanced math program for his grade level. I was looking for some fun ways to teach him at home without making him feel like he was "in school" all day. I got this set and the percent set. They are both well made and have made teaching him adbvance concepts easy and fun. My son asks to use these and finds learning math fun. I recommend this set not only to homeschoolers but to famlies looking to help their kids learn at home.

This is a perfect set of manipulatives to model basic fractions, add and subtract fractions, find equivalent fractions, and compare fractions.

This is the set to buy for three main reasons. First, the few extra dollars spent buys you a stand for comparing fraction stacks as well as some problem cards. Instantly, this turns into a learning center/intervention/take-home activity for any student. Next, the cubes snap together (pretty well) and are perfect visuals for those learning fractions. Finally, the task cards offer a wide range of challenges, and I believe it is possible to buy other task cards to use with these manipulatives.

Being a fourth grade teacher, I am excited to have a tool such as this to help struggling students grasp different concepts of fractions as well as provide additional challenges for more developed students.

Best Deals for Learning Resources Deluxe Fraction Tower Set (LER2075)

I ordered this set to work with my grandson on fractions, decimals and percents. If you look at LER2059 the tower pieces each have the fraction and the decimal equivalent. I thought this did too. It doesn't. I called Learning Resources and a conscious decision was made to leave the decimal equivalents off of this set. That means they have to make two completely different sets-which makes no sense to me. I have been forced to buy LER2059 to get the information I thought I was getting when I purchased the DELUXE set.

It seems kind of funny to wax poetic about a silly little carrying bag, but I was very surprised and pleased by this. If I do flutophones with my classes again, I'll hit up the admin for 85¢ per kid and get a bunch of these. I bought myself a flutophone and one of these just to have my own to demo to the kids, and when this came, it was hard not to do a commercial to the kids about it. Surprising quality. For the price, you should get one even if you don't have a flutophone. Find something to keep in it!

My 19month old daughter doesn't play with this much. She is pretty bored with it after about 2minutes but I just think she likes more challenging toys (puzzles/stackers, etc). The colors are rich. The spinner pieces are made of hard plastic but very well made and the base is made of wood. My daughter throws all the parts all the time and they withstand her torture. All parts must be on the base for all pieces to spin together...cute concept but doesn't keep her interest much!

I don't know why it's a caterpillar, but that's my only complaint. This toy is simple and fun. The gears are easy to spin, even for uncoordinated baby fingers. It's neat that the gears come off the wood block; it invites creative use. My 13 month old enjoys hiding them.

Buy Smithsonian Mega Science Lab

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $36.99
Sale Price: $28.63
Today's Bonus: 23% Off

My son received the "Mega Science Lab" as a gift this past Christmas. Upon exploration we realized that the experiments are poorly conceived and the final result is horribly executed. The Dino dig turned up 2 left legs, so the kids had to turn one around backward to make the dinosaur stand up properly hardly the educational model I would expect. The gem dig had one flat piece of dime-sized rock in it and absolutely no other gems, despite turning the rest of the block to sand (the kit says you should find 11 gems). Finally, I had some misgivings about following the directions for the crystal growing experiment. As I poured a small amount of boiling water into the plastic container (as the directions indicate) the plastic melted and burning liquid spilled out toward my children. Thankfully I had them move farther back before this point even though they were eager to see.

I am completely disappointed that a company such as the Smithsonian would allow their name to be associated with such an awful product. My son said, "This Smithsonian company is really bad".

I bought this kit after buying the Smithsonian Crystal Growing Kit for my 9 year old son which he loved. This kit has 6 activities instead of just the one. You get to make a volcano, grow a crystal, there is a model of the earth that you paint, a bug habitat, little weather station and the best part is a dino dig. In comparison to other items this is really a great value it is like getting 6 toys in 1.

My son received this as a Christmas gift and really enjoyed doing all the experiments. I would def. recommend it.

Honest reviews on Smithsonian Mega Science Lab

Lets be honest here it a *kids* experiment so the fact your "goggles" are labeled as a toy is NOT a big deal, we are not splitting atoms here. Your child will learn how to "dig" for dinosaur fossils, grow crystals, and a few other very good learning experiments. The crystal growing kit is not an immediate satisfaction it takes a few days so I recommend starting with that experiment and then continuing with the others while you monitor the crystals. The dinosaur dig is a lot of fun and I look forward to doing the weather station and volcano.

My daughter received this as a Christmas gift. We have not done all the activities, yet, but so far so good. She is happy. She's had no trouble following the directions and is having fun. However, I was a little miffed to find that the safety goggles included were A) too small for my 9 year old to put on her head adn B) labeled with the following: "Warning: This is a toy. It does not provide protection." Excuse me? Toy goggles? Why put them in the box? Were you expecting my child has toy eyes? This is an educational science kit rated 10 and up from Smithsonian and you include toy goggles too small to fit a 9 year old????

Cheap Hohner Kids / 2-piece Maple Soprano Baroque Recorder

Customer Ratings:

I'm a professional concert flutist and I had a need for a recorder for a production of Sweeney Todd. I had one of the really cheap Yamahas (24S model), and I upgraded to the 300 series. In fact I just got a combo of 4 that had the Sopranino all the way to Tenor. Anyway. I came across this Hohner recorder in a music shop and they had 3 of the Maple one (this one) and three of the Pearwood model. I tried them all out and I liked the maple better than the pearwood. So, I bought it and had the conductor listen. He felt that the tone was too sweet and too pretty for the show and chose the Plastic 300 series Yamaha. Fair enough.

What I'm trying to say is that it's a good deal. The conductor thought the sound was too nice, and honestly, it is quite an upgrade from any of the other plastic recorders I've played. It's definitely not a top of the line recorder because I did find some clarity issues with upper register notes, but that's fine. For roughly $30, this is a heck of a deal. It has a sweet, pure sound that is deliciously warm. I will never be a Pro level recorder player. Nor do I want to be. But, this recorder is definitely a good instrument in my opinion. Wood does have a learning curve to it. Plastic generally has a faster and easier response, but the tone quality simply doesn't compare.

If you're debating between this recorder or a plastic model (Aulos or Yamaha for example) in the same price range, think about what you will use it for. If you are willing to take a little longer to get the best out of it, get this one. If this is for a child, get the plastic ones. Wood WILL break, and the light oil finish on these simply doesn't offer any additional protection.

If I were given the opportunity to buy it again, I wood. Get it. Wood? Haha ;)

After some years of playing plastic recorders, I finally tried wood, in part because of the reasonable price of this made-in-China German recorder. It has the sweetest timber of any soprano recorder I have played (not as sweet as alto recorders, of course); the tactile sensation of playing wood is quite different (softer) than plastic; low C and high A are not too difficult to hit consistently; and (apparently like all wood recorders) condensation/spittle is a minor problem compared to plastic recorders (that block up very easily). This comes with only the lightest oil finish. I used olive oil and not the recommended linseed oil (I want edible oils for anything that goes in my mouth). Although Hohner says not to use oil on the cork seal (used to attach the 2 parts), the olive oil does not seem to bother it. I have also used the vegetable joint grease from Aulos without problem. After oiling inside and out a few times, condensation has no effect on the wood. If you have a narrower rod than the one supplied (which is identical with Aulos rods for soprano recorders) and something like gun-cleaning patches, this recorder can be cleaned without breaking it down. Hohner does not include joint grease or a thumb rest. That is unfortunate, but you can rectify the omissions by ordering from Aulos (the soprano thumb rest is a tight fit but will work OK). I cannot deduct stars for that because this is such a bargain at the price. I should advise that the recorder I received is called the B9560 by Hohner (the Hohner website has no model 9522--once again US vendors changing barcodes and model numbers for who knows what reason).

This Hohner maple recorder is surprisingly nice. I like it better than their more expensive "Concert" pearwood model, which has a louder, albeit duller quality to it. The tone on this one is more open, and lighter. Like all Hohners,it hits the higher notes quite easily.

I would definitely recommend this recorder to anyone looking for something that sounds nice and wants something in wood. I have some expensive recorders, and to tell you the truth, I like this one the best. Good for children and adults, and adults shouldn't think just because this is a "student" model (basic shape, design) that it's inferior. It sounds just lovely!

Honest reviews on Hohner Kids / 2-piece Maple Soprano Baroque Recorder

I have decided to take up the recorder after many years away from playing anything. I had used a plastic recorder the previous few months and was pleased with that, but I am definitely glad I spent a little bit more to get this recorder. I was going to save $8 and get the all pear one, but someone reviewing with knowledge recommended this one. If you have played even a little bit and wish to continue playing recorder, it will be a wise choice. I can play longer without the moisture obscuring the sound of plastic and making it temp unplayable. It is easier to hit low C and high A! I don't have a great ear but it does actually sound better! Cleaning ain't that big of a deal and it comes with everything you need. Someone mentioned it being smelly. LOL There is a very minimal wood smell that I enjoy. I wish it smelled stronger. I had to put my nose to it and it is fast loosing even that minimal scent. Can't believe I didn't get this sooner.

UPDATE: I'm still in love with this little baby! It sounds lovely... Best buy I could find on a quality wood recorder, still to this day. It has held up perfectly over the past 1.5 year and actually sounds a tiny bit better, then when brand new and warms up more quickly at approx 2-5 minutes instead of 10 minutes, for several months after first purchased. Highly recommended!

The plastic recorder originally bought for my granddaughter always 'screeched" and I could barely stand to listen for more than a few seconds. This beautiful wooden recorder is well worth the little bit of extra money it is a pleasure to hold (the wood is like satin) and has a much nicer sound. I read the other reviewers comments before buying it and was glad to make such a good purchase. I would recommend buying the 'fuzzy' rods (also bought at Amazon) for drying it out after playing. My 7 year old granddaughter understands that drying is important and likes that she can do this herself.

Best Deals for Tangle Relax Therapy

I bought this for my teen age daughter, who fidgets with objects. She took to this tangle toy immediately, and enjoys fidgeting with it while watching TV, etc.

This tangle is small enough to be manipulated with one hand, and has a nice variety of textures. Our only complaint is that the segments will occasionally pull appart when in use. Ours broke, but it was easy to fix by removing the segment that wouldn't stay attached anymore. The package says it is good for people who are quitting smoking. If it is an intended gift, you might want to take it out of the package to avoid that potentially negative connotation.

I would not recommend this for a small child, because the segments come appart fairly easily and could be a choking hazzard. Consider a larger model instead.

Highly recommended.

We got this after it helped calm my 4 year old down at counseling. Being a child with sensory problems and on the spectrum, finding something that will both catch his attention, keep him busy for more then 30 seconds and be used as a calming tool is very important. This did the trick. I actually find myself playing with it sometimes and taking it apart. This is a new must keep in my purse, perfect for the car sensory toy.

I purchased this to use myself for something to keep my hands busy when needed. It works well and I love the texture despite it easily picks ups dirt it can easily be cleaned. The problem is that it is not very sturdy. The soft coating has already began to peel off and once it is off it won't be usable anymore. I don't think it was worth the price. I don't recommend it for heavy use, but if you are looking for something for light use or to set on our desk and only pick up on occasion this might be okay.

Review of Geoworld T-Rex Skeleton

Customer Ratings:

This was fun putting together with my son, but I had to put allof my strength into putting some of the pieces together. Also, some of the ribs were oddly bent, so we had to manipulate them to stay straight. A few of the ribs are still bent, but it kinda looks natural. I strongly recommend a general adhesive (FOR PLASTIC) when assembling. We disassembled and glued four sections and let dry, then put all sections together and let dry before putting on stand. We love the detail. It is a nice display for my sons room with his other items.
