Multilingual Photo Cards - Animal Review

Multilingual Photo Cards - Animal
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I was very pleased with these cards. I work in a child development center and bought these both for circle time and free play time and the kids love them. They'll sit around for twenty minutes looking over the pictures and showing them to each other. They've learned almost all the names and it's proved to be well worth the investment.

I used these in a lesson with my ELL students. The photographs were very clear and the different languages were helpful. I will certainly continue using them in a variety of ways.

I like the variety of languages. Instead of telling the languages on each card, it has the translated word and a key symbol. You have to refer to another card with the symbol key. Seems like an unnecessary step.

Buy Learning Resources Answer Buzzers - Set of 4

Learning Resources Answer Buzzers - Set of 4
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Not as big as the pictures make them appear. I purchased these to use in classroom debates/competitions...I'm wishing there was a fifth and/or sixth button, because my classes are slightly too big for only 4 groups. But the sounds are very cute, pretty loud, and all very different -so it will be easy to tell which group "buzzed in" first. :-)

I think my middle school students will enjoy using these. I think they're worth more like $15.00 than $24.00 with shipping...you can probably find them in teachers' stores -look around :)

I was excited to get these, because I had been using the metal "front desk" bells which sound the same. As a teacher who has to buy her own supplies, I was thrilled with the inexpensive price. I should have remembered the old adage, "You get what you pay for." I used them for the first time yesterday. After my second class, the blue buzzer broke. I tried to fix it, but could not. AND ... unlike the first reviewer, I thought the sounds were too similar, particularly in a class of 30, it was hard to hear the buzzers or tell which one was hit first. I think I will go back to my metal bells.

The measurement given in the Amazon description is for the box they come in. The buzzers are 3.5" in diameter each.

Honest reviews on Learning Resources Answer Buzzers - Set of 4

I am very happy with this product. I am using it for my dog though. With potty training he was afraid of the recommended bell but he loves these buzzers. He learned what to do in 5 minutes. I placed one of them by the door and I think because of the bright color he was attracted right away. After he hit it the first time with his paw, and I clapped and told him how clever he was, he figured out he got to go outside when he hit it. Of course a lot of the time it is not to potty but now if I don't respond right away, he hits it again and then turns to look at me or comes and gets me if I am not right there. So for my purposes it is great and maybe you should market it as a potty dog trainer.

My 7 year old nephew loved them. I seen that some of the other reviewers were having problems with them being too small but they fit his head just fine.

Our son had a set of these that he loved to play with at his preschool. We finally tracked them down on Amazon and bought a few sets for the play room and a few as Christmas gifts for friends that have children. Everyone loves them. They are always getting pulled out when we have visitors come over to play and it's so nice to see them play with something that doesn't need batteries for once and something that might actually still be considered fun even as he gets older. They are quite sturdy and have been stepped on and dropped many times with no ill-effects. Would highly recommend a pair or 2 of these glasses for a rainy day pick-me-up.

I bought this for my 4 yr old granddaughter and was expecting them to be loose so she could hold and evaluate them. They are glued in the case so I returned them. However if that is what someone is expecting they are great.

I am updating this review as I have been charged for this item even though I have returned it. There is no number to call to discuss this with any one so I'm hoping this will get some ones attention and contact me.

The stones are somewhat small and they are glued into the box. On the one hand that makes them stay in place and the specimens won't get lost but I had hoped to put them under a microscope for more detailed study. Small booklet that comes with it explains some of the minerals but the selection is not blinky blink enough to gain much attention from my 5 year old. Maybe a bit later...

I have purchased this for my 6 year old daughter as she is a big fan of all things rock related and I thought this might be a way to channel her energy into learning about the world around her. The case is neat and the included materials are varied and unique. If I had a complaint it would be that the individual rocks are a little on the small size (think a marble) but for the price it's hard to beat

This is just what it says it is a booster pack for the original game.

The pieces in the booster pack are slightly different than the original pieces.

They are a different shade of blue on the back, and the board is thinner. Now, my 3-year old does not notice it, I think it would take an adult to figure it out, so it's all good.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This kit contains numerous fun experiments you can perform yourself using common household items and some items you might find at your local hardware store. The kit features stories of how our early inventors discovered new and exciting ways to tap into the interesting world of science. This kit would be very useful to use even for science projects at school or just for the beginner inventor/scientist.

I bought this for my 12-year-old for Christmas. He's been having a ball with it, and learning a lot. My only complaint was that it didn't come with something to organize all the little pieces. But I noticed that ahead of time, and was prepared with a small tackle box for him to put everything in. So far, he's been able to do most of the projects with minimal assistance.

Best Deals for Thames & Kosmos Classic Science Milestones in Science

This was our son's "big gift"; he's a 7 yr old who wants to be a scientist when he grows up. Highly recommend purchasing a tackle box or some storage solution to store all of its small parts. While we realize most of the stuff you could cobble together yourself, for us, it was just easier to purchase a science kit with all the parts. I knew the science experiment materials would be made of cheap plastic (and they were), but I was expecting a hardcover, sturdy book for this price. Unfortunately the "manual" is a flimsy paperback (why I rate this product a 4). However, the content of the book is great jus wish it were more durable. So far we've completed 4 experiments and they've been easy to follow with great discussion questions. It's a lot of fun and very educational (not in a boring way).

Honest reviews on Thames & Kosmos Classic Science Milestones in Science

Haven't had too much time to look at it myself but the one I bought it for has spent enough time reading through the history and how to do the experiments that I know it is well liked. Definitely a good buy for the inquisitive young science student.

When we first got this toy, my daughter was 8 months old. She figured out how to use it right away and played with it all the time. It's been two months and the toy is broken. The sounds that play do not correspond to the activity taking place. For example, when she pops a door open it will say "Good Bye" and when she pops open the circle it will say "rectangle". I no longer have the receipt for this toy, so I doubt I could get a refund. I'm really disappointed because she loved this toy at first. She's not that interested in it now that I keep the volume turned off.

my 3and 4yr olds liked this globe quite a bit before they became discouraged with the difficulty in understanding the voice commands and with the tracker pole not going all the way up to the top. now they refer to it as "the globe we liked but doesn't work". i'd spend a little more (the kids seem to love the concept) and get one that functions more smoothly (it is difficult to stop, start, and generally maneuver).

Best Deals for Fly & Discover Globe

my three year old got this for christmas and loves the sound effects and fun designs but he gets frustrated by the joystick. it is difficult to "fly" to the right spot when prompted by the "find the" questions and requires better motor skills than most three year olds have i often have to help him guide the joystick onto the right animal or place. my five year old can navigate without difficulty. however she becomes bored after 5 mins as there is a limited number of questions and games which is fine for a three year old but not enough info for the five and above age range. in all i'd say great concept and a fun way for kids to learn about the world but the makers should either simplify the joystick for younger kids or expand the knowledge for older kids.

my sons liked this toy. always fun to fly a plane, and they get to learn a little about geography too. they always tended to turn it into a contest to land on the same animal or location every time whichever one they liked the most, but I guess that was also good for memory, and also coordination to steer the plane to the right place. a little bit flimsy, but still fun. ours never broke, but the stick got loose where the plane would drop to the bottom instead of staying at a certain height when you let go of the stick, but not an issue since usually the kids are steering it up/down anyway, and it only fell to bottom when they let go of the stick, basically never while they were playing.

This looked so promising to me. The phonics games you can create out of it are endless, however, the quality isn't that great. The lids don't fit properly on many of the cans and some of them are dented a bit (they are only made out of cardboard). The letters/pictures aren't the best quality either...they have wrinkles and bends in the carboard. I'm not thrilled with the quality of it, but I love the idea of it.

This has been a great hands on toy for her. She loves opending up all the can and getting the pieces out. The games she plays with them are limitiless including I-Spy, sort the objects, Find specific letters, stack the cans, .... I was so happy with this product I had to order two more for her friend's birhtday. You can't beat Amazon's price on this item

Honest reviews on Alphabet Soup Sorters

As a preschool teacher in an inclusion class I am always looking for a new game or toy that will motivate the children to learn, keep their attention and can be used by students who range in age and ability. I have purchased activities similar to this, but they have not been durable or have had tiny pieces that were a choking hazard.

The Alphabet Soup Sorters are fantastic!

The pictures of real objects are easy to identify. The material they pictures are printed on is durable. The size of the pictures are perfect for little hands.

Younger children can match the letters to the cans or work on naming objects.

Older students can identify the letter the objects begin with or can sort the

pictures by beginning letter sound. It is self correcting because the words are on the back of every photo. Thanks Learning Resources for making a great product!

These cans are very sturdy, but the tops can be a little difficult for weak hands to get off. The cardboard pictures are pretty good (there is always a capital letter and lowercase letter and about 4-5 images). I am thinking of putting small objects in for more of a tactile experience.
