Honest reviews on MobiGo Software Cartridge - Mr. Men/Little Miss

My three year old son absolutely loves this game. He got the Mobigo for Christmas last year, in the booklet for the system, Mr. Men and Little Miss game is advertised. They had discontinued selling this game in the store so I was excited when I finally found it. The game reinforces what we teach him, like numbers, letters, and blending colors. He loves it and it entertains him in the car.

We got this item for our 3 year old son for Christmas. He adores letters and numbers and tries to stick letter magnets to things that are not metallic, so the flannel board is perfect. He loves them and was instantly trying to rearrange them to his liking. They seem to stick pretty well...so great product & the Education Station was very prompt in shipping.

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Little Super Star Classical Stacker Reviews

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Little Super Star Classical Stacker
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought this one before my baby was born and he was just enthralled with it from day one. Whenever I pushed down on the star and the thing lit up, he just was mesmerized by it. Then, he decided that, being the engineer that he is, he'd rather play with it without the stars on it so he can see how it works. He just loves that! It's just so very pretty when it lights up and it also teaches coordination. He still plays with it and he's now three. Definitely a fanstastic purchase, one that can withstand having food dumped on it, being tossed onto the floor numerous times, you name it and it is still just like new.

This is my son's favorite toy, and for eleven bucks that's quite a deal. He literally can play with this toy for hours if given the opportunity. He's learned to press the button on the top that plays the music, and as soon as he does, he looks at everyone in the room and gives them a "look how smart I am" smile. It's hilarious! He's just now learning (at 12 months) how to put the stars back on the base. He couldn't do this a couple of months ago; he could only get them off, so it has grown with him. I put scotch tape over the speaker because there is no volume control and it can be quite loud. The tape still lets the tunes be heard, but now I don't have to talk over it! My mother is a daycare provider and she also has this toy, and her children love it, too; they even fought over it until she bought another one. That means I know of at least three children who can't get enough of this toy. It's worth its weight in gold!

We bought this toy for our baby's first Christmas, and he is over 2 now, and still loves it. He likes to take the stars off, and play the music. We call it his music stick, which he carries allllll over the house spinning to the music until he falls. The lights just make it even better to him. A great toy, not too expensive toy.

Honest reviews on Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Little Super Star Classical Stacker

My son especially liked playing the tunes by pushing the top button on the stacker, and I liked the toy too--until it suddenly died. He hadn't been rough with it or anything, and we tried changing the batteries and everything, to no avail.

Our 11 month old has been playing with this toy since he was 6 months old. He really likes the lights, sounds and music. However, I was disappointed that the stacker is shaped like a cylinder so you can put the stars on in any order you choose. So it does not teach children that the big star goes on the bottom and get smaller as you go up. Also, the star that goes on top is cute, but it almost never gets used in conjuction with the stacker. It didn't take long for our baby to figure out that you just have to press the button on the top to get the music to play.

I bought 2 different kinds. This one is definitely more challenging. It is a good 3d puzzle with movement to put together with someone. I would recommend buying an easier one before you step up to the harder ones. I love looking at it on my shelf in my game room. It's an eye-catcher!

It was great fun to put together, but the instructions are humorously opaque.

They were either written by a first year English student from China, or a translation program. They made me laugh a lot!

Also, the instructions cannot be followed as-is, since the balls won't roll if you do. However, part of the fun is trying to figure out how to modify them in order to get it working.

My final product is mostly the same, but there are some serious changes I made.

All that just adds to the pride of accomplishment when finally done.

So, I had fun putting it together, it's fun to watch, and company gets pretty mesmerized when watching it in full action.

I can recommend it.

It really is okay if you like doing stuff without instructions. They were translated into english by... someone who can't speak english. You kind of NEED the instructions for something like this, so if you really want it be prepared to ignore the gibberish and try to figure out how to build it using the pictures/diagrams only.

My son really didn't even get to play with this because the parts kept breaking when he tried to put them together. He is 11 and pretty good building things like this, he has had several marble coasters before and had a lot of fun with them. I need to find out if I can return this and get my money back.

This ant farm has proved to have a learning curve, but overall it has been a great experience and my kids love this ant farm!

The good:

1. Seeing the ants make and use the tunnels, and seeing how ant colonies work is really neat.

2. The lights provide a wonderful, colorful nightlight. I am not sure if the ants really appreciate them, but they are aesthetically pleasing for humans to look at. There isn't much instruction on how to change between the 2 modes (keeping it on one color or letting the colors rotate) in the instructions but it was easy to figure out by myself.

3. The construction seems to be pretty durable. It has been dropped at least once onto a tile floor and it survived without any cracks. We also have not had any problems with the light and it has been on for weeks.

The learning curve:

1. I tried collecting my own ants, but they were too small and they would escape out of the air vents before I could get more than five of them into the habitat. I resorted to ordering them and the escape problem was solved. The ants I received were a lot larger and kind of neat to look at. You can distinctly see all the little parts, which is a great teaching aid.

2. The gel is a foreign substance to the ants and they don't realize that they are supposed to dig into and eat the gel. You are supposed to encourage digging by priming the gel (putting a few holes into the gel before you put the ants in). I did so, but after the ants were in the habitat and were not tunneling, I realized the holes were probably too small. I attempted to make them bigger, but the ants went into attack mode and the top quickly went back on. It took 3-4 days before the ants realized that they were supposed to dig into the stuff. In the mean time, about half of the colony died.

The bad:

The gel can only be used twice. I am hoping that the next colony will utilize the pre made tunnels and realize what they are supposed to do a bit quicker before half the colony dies. I also hope that I can find a refill of the clear gel. I have found where to get the blue gel but I am not sure how the lights will look with the blue gel.

I bought this for my 10 year old and my 4 year old has dropped it twice so far on day two of having the ants in it! The ants lived and the top didn't even pop off!!!! It's awesome. Some of the colors are almost too bright to look at, but you have the option to keep it on one color if you want. I had to pay $14 for ants because of winter, but they are only 6 in the summer. I know that sounds like a lot, but it is worth it! It is so cool to see the ants digging in the gel:)

Honest reviews on Fascinations AntWorks Colors of Life

I bought this for my daughter's 9th birthday after she had said she wanted an ant farm. She was thrilled with the lights and had it plugged in for the entire week that we waited for out ants to arrive. The lights are very cool they either cycle rainbow colors or you can stop it on your favorite color, all with an optical sensor that you only have to wave your finger in front of! If you leave your ant farm in a sunny place (which you aren't supposed to because I think the ants don't like full sun) the sunlight is enough to trigger the sensor.

So after less than a week of anxiously waiting our ants arrived. We ordered the harvester ants, which are recommended because they are good tunnelers and they have giant mandibles that are much easier to see. I placed my order from Life Studies. It was $5 and they arrived pretty quickly. I was seriously scared of those ants because they looked like they could inflict some serious pain. Within one hour of having them in the habitat, they had started to dig up and move some gel. Within 3 hours we could see a good start on their first tunnel. The instructions say to poke some holes in the gel and they even give you a special tool for it so that the ants can start tunneling there. Oddly enough, our ants chose their own spot and ignored our poke holes completely.

For the entire first week we would check on the habitat every couple hours. Our house was filled with someone shouting "Hey you guys come look at the ants now!" I also bought The Life and Times of the Ant which proved to be a wonderful reference, and actually explained why the ants did some of the things that we would have otherwise thought weird.

We did experience the light not working, but after an email to the company the problem was resolved within a day. Great customer service!

The only thing that I can complain about is the size of the habitat. It seemed like our ants dug most around the sides and bottom. They spent a lot of time at the bottom, like maybe they wanted to be able to dig deeper. I felt a little sorry for them. They also tried to tunnel upwards and were able to chew off the corners of the rubber seal. I do not feel like they would be able to get out of the habitat without the seal though.

Most of the ants lived for about a month and a half (there is still one ant alive after 2 months), but most of the excitement happened in the first couple weeks. I absolutely plan to order ants again soon, and I'll probably order a gel refill kit at some point too. Our entire family, from parents to 2 year old, loved seeing the progress and I think we all learned a little something too!

I figured that if an educational toy is good enough for a child, than it's good enough for me. My wife thought differently. She wasn't too upset with my purchase until the ants arrived, than she very nicely asked me to give it away. Well, for the 2 weeks that I owned this, I was totally fascinated by the activity of the ants. They really are a remarkable insect and watching them dig tunnels as a group is simply amazing. The final straw came when I placed the ant farm in the kitchen. My granddaughter now owns it and is fascinated with it as I was. My wife is very relieved that it is no longer around.

Cheap Eating the Alphabet

Eating the Alphabet
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Lois Ehlert's Eating the Alphabet: Fruits & Vegetables from A to Z contains illustrations of 74 fruits and vegetables, from the everyday apple to the exotic jicama. Each letter of the alphabet is represented in large serif font in uppercase and lowercase and is represented by illustrations of one to eight fruits and vegetables. The illustrations are captioned with spellings of each fruit and vegetable, once in all uppercase and once in all lowercase. The illustrations depict the fruits and vegetables as they appear at the supermarket, even including the wide rubber bands often found on asparagus and broccoli and the cardboard tubs that hold strawberries and blueberries. The bright illustrations are in sharp contrast with the flat, white background. The overall effect of the illustrations and type styling is crisp, clean, and colorful. The book also includes a glossary of fruits and vegetables, with a small picture, pronunciation, designation as fruit and/or vegetable, and a brief description. This glossary is particularly useful for items such as xigua (she-gwah), the Chinese name for watermelon. Children will enjoy learning the more exotic fruits and vegetables. This book will aid children in recognizing letters and the multiple words for each letter allow children to recognize the pattern of sounds associated with each letter.

This vocabulary book goes through the alphabet and gives examples of fruits and vegetables that begin with said letter. No candy, sweets, meats, or any animal products in this one (guess they did not want to offend any dietary restrictions).

Each letter of the alphabet has at least one healthy example of food. Each food has a colorful illustration but readers may need help attaching each word to the appropriate picture. Some of the illustrations are a little questionable (I never saw a cauliflower like the one pictured).

Both of my kids enjoy this book and have had me read it a number of times on just the first day. I haven't noticed them wanting to eat any more vegetables than before but their vocabulary is better.
