I bought this toy for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas and I love it.She likes it as well. I love how you can plug it into the TV and since she is still too young to read on her own I program it where it reads the story to her. She loves the story's and I think its a great and educational toy for children 3 and older. As my daughter gets older and learns how to read I will program it so she can read the words on her own. The only con about this that they don't have enough story cartridges

Buy Scientific TALK 'N LEARN ELECTRONIC PHONICS KEYBOARD (WITH TRY ME)

Customer Ratings:

This phonics keyboard is about 12x14 inches. The musical keyboard sounds good enough for kids. When pressed, each letter says its name and phonic sound. It also teaches how to spell a word that begins with that sound. I bought this on sale for about $7.50. I am very pleased with it!

Back in 1978 when my son was 3yrs old, I had purchased a toy called speak and spell. It was the best toy I had ever purchased. When I saw the TALK'N LEARN keyboard I knew my granddaughter, who is going on 2, would have a wonderful time with it as she learned to talk. She plays with the phonics and can say a few words now. This is a wonderful toy for any toddler.--March 7,2009-Update on this toy. My granddaughter now says words I am amazed she can say. I am sure her mother and father were a big help and this will now help her new brother learn his phonics.

I bought this toy based on the good reviews, but I am extremely disappointed. First, it is defective, and second, there are so many things wrong with it from an educational perspective.

The defect: When in the Alphabet & Phonics mode, the speaker says, "This is the letter A. It says /a/ (provides the short a sound). However, for 8 of the letters (c,f,h,k,p,s,t,x) it says, "This is the letter C, ..." and the rest is unclear. I am not able to understand what the speaker is saying.

As a former reading teacher, I found many things wrong with this toy.

1. The word yoyo on the button is printed as two words, instead of one or with a hyphen.

2. The word ice cream is hyphenated. We usually see it as two words.

3. The picture that goes with the letter G is a giraffe. While giraffe starts with G, it begins with the /j/ sound. Therefore, the speaker says G makes the /g/ sound but the picture associated with is begins with /j/. Confusing for young learners.

4. Same with owl and ice cream. The speaker provides the short /o/ and short /i/ sounds for each button, but ice cream begins with a long /i/ sound and owl begins with /ow/ sound.

Now I'm getting picky...When you push the 4 mode buttons it plays a tune. I wish it said the name of the mode, such as "spelling." My son doesn't understand that by pushing the buttons that he is changing a mode. He thinks it is just another tune. Finally, each word printed on the buttons begins with a capital letter. These are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized in this instance.

Initially what I liked about this toy (besides the good reviews) is the fact that an uppercase and lowercase letter is shown on each button. Some of the similar v-tech and leapfrog toys only show capital letters. And of course, the keyboard at the bottom was a bonus since my 3-year-old loves musical instruments.

I really wish I could get my money back since I paid over $30 for a worthless and defective toy.

This is a great set, with multiple activities in one! My daughter has really enjoyed "lacing" the board, which I didn't know that she would. The only complaint I have, is that the board is foam verses plastic.

my child has had this toy for 2 months and is now 10 months old. i mounted this toy on the wall so that my child would have something to play with that isn't on the ground as the rest of his toys are. here are the benefits of this toy:

helped bring his awareness and gaze off the ground where 90% of other toys are (because i mounted it on the wall), strengthening his neck muscles and trunk, helping to bring his arms up and away from his body

fine motor helped improve his grasp as the pegs are really easy to hold onto in his hand helped strengthen his grasp because they take a little effort to tug out

fine motor tactile input of the holes helped him learn to use his pointer independently putting his finger in the holes on the board and the pegs

oral motor taught him how to blow through the pegs some make a slight whistle noise

cognitive i lined the pegs on the floor two feet apart from the living room to the bedroom and he followed them

"kaboom" stack the pegs up high on the floor and taught him to knock the tower down

pull apart improved grasp and shoulder strength by pulling these pegs apart tries to put them back together but isn't there yet has learned to twist as he pulls them apart

can hang other toys like rings on these pegs which serve as hooks when the board is mounted

can put the pegs in a clear container and teach him "in" and "out"

haven't even gotten to stringing the toys together with the shoelace it comes with, haven't gotten to counting or colors either as he's still too young to really get that. great toy if you have the time and patience to be creative and teach the baby. plus the colors are great and my friends without kids think this is akin to mod art in my living room.

I decided to purchase a peg board that was a hard surface and not the flexible kind. Unfortunately, the pegs fall out of the holes very easily, so does not seem to be very challenging for my daughter (21 months). She does play with it, but I wish the pegs fit better into the holes.

Honest reviews on Learning Resources Rainbow Peg Play Activity Set

The pegs don't stack easily on top of each other as well as on the yellow board. This yellow board is made of soft plastic and is not stable on surfaces. They may be more fun when threading a cord through them, but stacking proves difficult even for adult.

I purchased this toy a few months ago to add to my homeschool rotation for the little ones and it's been a great investment.

It's a simple toy, but it has multiple uses. Putting the pegs into the mat, stacking them, and lacing them are all great activities for working on fine motor skills. You can also use the pegs for teaching counting, sorting, colors, and shapes. With older children you could also use them for some math concepts such as early addition or comparison. (If you have three red pegs and two green pegs, how many are there all together? Which stack of pegs is highest? Which is shortest? How could we make them the same?)

The board itself is made from a thick rubber foam. If you have one of those foam puzzle floor mats, it's the same type of material. The pegs are a heavy plastic and large enough that I'm not overly concerned about them being swallowed. One side of the board is blank. The other side has six shape outlines that each hold a different number of pegs--great for introducing shapes and counting. The box also includes a short pamphlet with some other ideas of learning activities you can do with the set. My kids have really enjoyed this and I'd highly recommend it.

Best ImagiPLAY Rolling Snail Sorter Deals

Customer Ratings:

This toy looked adorable and I was drawn to the fact that the paint was non toxic and the wood was eco-friendly. When it came, I took it out and gave it to my 17 mo old. She pulled it around and it flopped over a couple of times until the tail snapped off the rest of the snail's body and the back wheel came off the axle. There was no undue pressure put on this toy whatsoever, and I feel like for the age that the toy is geared toward, it should not have been so fragile as to break within 10 minutes! I wrote the company directly and never received a response. I bought it from a website that carries discounted toys from different vendors and it was not eligible for return. Hugely disappointed, and on principle, I will not buy from this company again.

My daughter loves pulling on the string and watching the green circle part go around. She also loves the shapes that goes inside the circular cage. The opening part of the cage comes off easily which allows the shapes to come out, so I just put a little piece of tape to prevent it to open Other than that, I would definitely recommend this toy! The craftsmanship is awesome! Great quality!

Best Handy Bible Series - My First Handy Bible Deals

Customer Ratings:

I like this Bible. I have two children, 2 and 4 years of age. I got this Bible and read through it before even showing it to them. I like that all of the stories were told accurately and with details but not too much that it overwhelms the child. After my initial read through, showed it to my children.

Both immediately wanted to 'hold it' and 'carry it'. They loved the handle and the pictures. We sat down and read the stories. They asked questions and it was fun for all of us. We took it slow and talked about each of the stories but it really was perfect for their level of understanding.

I rate this a 5/5. Young children will enjoy this and it is perfect for them.

Thank you to B&B Media for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.

My First Handy Bible has thirty three Bible stories in this carry along feature for babies and toddlers. This board book is durable with a hard back cover and a latch to hold it securely shut. Easy to clean up all those messes little ones seem to make.

The stories are told in a simple format that is easy to read. The stories are perfect to hold the attention of any on the go toddler. This Bible has beautiful illustrations that your little ones will love learning about the truths of God's Word.

My thoughts:

This is a perfect Bible for little ones. What child doesn't love to carry around toys and books? The yellow handle is perfect for little hands. I can think of many toddlers who would love carrying around this Bible.

The most important thing is that you are teaching God's word to them. Why not start early; your toddler can tote their own bible to church with them. Simple sentences retell Bible stories from Genesis to Revelation.

I have read this to my children who are much older a few times already. My not toddler son thinks it should be his Bible. Needless to say it will be a gift to one of my little nieces out of state. This would make a perfect baby shower gift for any expecting mother. This is a delightful Bible that will be a blessing to any child up to three years old.

This book has been provided to me my by B&B Media Group, Inc. free of charge and in no way was I asked to give a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Audrey Grant's review Sep 27, 12 · edit

bookshelves: childrens, won, own

Read on September 27, 2012

This is a great little book for toddlers who love mimicking Mom and Dad by taking their own "Bible" to Church! It has a nice sturdy little handle on the back for easy carrying and a Child friendly latch to keep it closed. I like that the handle is on the spine so the pages hang down even if the clasp were to break off the Bible would still hang in the right position when carried.

I also love the card board pages which will hold up to little fingers learning to sit and turn pages. Perfect child friendly size to fit their little laps and hands. A great teaching aid.

The one thing that lowered this to a 4 star instead of a 5 in my opinion was that, as it tells each story in two or three lines for the toddlers (which is great)it doesn't give a verse to read to them to go along with it. It is called My First Handy "BIBLE" but doesn't have Bible verses in it. I think this would be a very important addition to the book.

I received this book from B&B Media for my personal opinion and honest review. I have been honest and straight forward in my opinions.

Honest reviews on Handy Bible Series - My First Handy Bible

I was excited to receive My First Handy Bible to review. I am always interested in children's Bible books, especially now that my oldest nephew has come to love reading Bible stories.

The story:

This is a Bible story book, sharing "classic" Bible stories, from creation to the birth of Jesus, etc..

The illustrations:

The pictures in this book are very different for a children's book. Not the highest quality, and not the cutest.

How strong is the book?

This is a pretty sturdy little book, and seems like it will hold up quite well.

Who the book is for:

Babies and toddlers, through preschoolers, even.

What I liked:

The padded cover, plastic handle, and overall way that the book is made.

Includes quite a few Bible stories.

I like that each story includes the reference to where it is found in the Bible.

What I didn't like:

There are a few mistakes, such as David taking "well" care of sheep, instead of "good".

One story tells of how people wanted Jesus to be their king, but he only wanted to be their friend I don't see how this is biblically based.

Overall, this book is pretty poorly written.

My conclusion:

I really wanted to like this book, but I found that I didn't.

I give My First Handy Bible 2 out of 5 stars.

I received this book free to review from The B & B Media Group. The opinions expressed in this review are my true thoughts and feeling regarding this book. I am disclosing this information in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Review of OWI Robotic Arm Trainer

Customer Ratings:

Key Points

*Relatively high cost ($65-$120 USD)

*extremely low speed (at acceptable torque, even at unacceptable torque!)

*delicate assembly

*good lifting power if tuned properly

The OWI-007 Robotic Arm Trainer is a pretty neat product but the low speed and joint limitations set it back from nearly every other robotic arm on the market.

The arm works with a 5-channel remote corresponding to five DC motor (RE-240) gearboxes that come pre-assembled. The rest you have to do on your own. It's a great learning experience, building the arm, especially for older children and young adults.

The chief problem lies in the clutch/slip gears, which must be carefully tightened down (using the provided tapping screws). Over tightening or under tightening, even a small amount, could result in the arm not being able to lift anything (even it's own weight). The shoulder joint has the most problems with this. However, when the slip gears are tightened properly, the arm can lift weights in excess of 400 grams!

I tend to compare this arm to others in its' range; i.e. the OWI-535 Robotic Arm Edge. The OWI-535 excels in nearly all aspects save two. *The clutch gears must be modified (super glue or other) to lift over 350 grams (use care in operation).

*The wrist does not rotate left/right it only moves up and down with limited articulation.

Overall I rate the OWI-007 Robotic Arm Trainer a 3 star. It's a cool teaching/learning project but in the long run falls short of what it could have achieved.

I bought this as a robot project to do with a 4th grader. It is well documented and the parts are well laid out in the box so they are easy to find. The 4th grader had no real issues following the instructions (with my little hints along the way). It works very well the rotating wrist is pretty cool and a unique feature of this robotic arm. All in all a fun kit.

I bought this robotic arm to learn more about servos and motion. I already own an OWI-535 Robotic arm which uses a tilt motion at the wrist. This arm has twist motion at the arm. The base will spin freely when carried and that is the only thing I don't like about it.

Cleaver and flexible design, it lends itself to easy modifications (increased the motor torque, modifications to the griper etc.) and adaptations for use in other projects. Such as a third hand on my electronics work bench when soldering etc. I just bought a second one.
