Reviews of Buckle Toy "Buster"
Bought this for my 2 year old as we had a 22hr plane journey to endure, and long story short, it kept him entertained on and off the plane. The buckles are good to attach to stroller or backpack easily too. Job done!

Best Goodie Games - ABC Cookies Deals
This is a great game and lots of fun, but there were no letter C cookies. We cannot play as the game was intended to be played.

I bought this item as a tool to teach my son his ABCs. He is just a little over 3 years old and absolutely loves these cookies! Within two weeks he was able to recognize his lower case letters and recite the ABCs. He loves that they are shaped like cookies and he pretend eats them throughout our learning time. This item was worth every penny because my son loves to play with them and learn. It was worth every penny!Best Deals for Goodie Games - ABC Cookies
My 2 year old loves dumping out the container into various containers and carrying them around. My 5 year old likes to pretend they are cookies and we also review letters while playing. It has games included, but we have not played yet. Would recommend for versatility.Honest reviews on Goodie Games - ABC Cookies
Santa brought this for my 3 year old. My son likes all of the activities, and enjoys the game that involves the number spinner most. :) The cookies and cards are fun and colorful. My only critique is that I wish there were a few more spelling games. I can probably make these myself, but they won't be as cute as the cards and pictures that come with the game. If I were to buy it again, I would probably do so when my son is a little younger and still learning letter identification, so that he could get more use out of those activities.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Goodie Games - ABC Cookies

Discount Didax Slide Abacus
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $14.95
Sale Price: $12.95
Today's Bonus: 13% Off

This abacus is truly great. When I first got it I was a little disappointed that it was all plastic and seemed kind of cheapy. But it works great and I've grown to really love it. I'm homeschooling my daughter and it's been so valuable in teaching her about numbers, adding, subtracting and place values. She thinks it's fun and likes to use it. I like the compact yet functional size of this abacus. It doesn't have a stand so it just lies flat on the table, but that doens't seem to be a problem. We also use it to make pictures, which is not only fun, but also helps my daughter better understand patterns. Definitely happy with this product.

Didax Slide Abacus is of sufficient quality, easy to use, neat that it has numbers in reverse order on right hand side. Bought it to use with Math Mammoth curriculum.Best Deals for Didax Slide Abacus
This is the best abacus we have found. Numbers across the top help "count". We homeschool and use this very often. We even use it for games so our 5 yr old can add up roll. Nice size and counters easy to manipulate for little or big fingers.Honest reviews on Didax Slide Abacus
Fourth grader is significantly behind in math. This tool helped bring up her skills and grasp concepts. Got one for the kindergarten student who does fourth grade math in his head and could not be left out. They still "play" with them.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Didax Slide Abacus
I like it, it is very durable, and numbers goes up and down :) Also I like that it is not big, and easy to take anywhere even can be places at a stroller table. My baby (19months) likes it and we just started to count together. I use it not very often right now, but it has very big potential,next step after she will master counting till 100 (she now only good till 20 that's why we are not very often use the product right now) we will do addition and due to numbers from 10 to 1 it is very easy to minus on the Abacus. I think it is much better then other similar products.Daria

Discount Mini Floating Arm Trebuchet Kit
My loving girlfriend just got me this for Christmas. First off I love it. It's well made, durable and fun to put together for the most part. The instructions are very helpful until one key part. It dosn't tell or show you how to attach the sling to the strings. It just says "tie a string to each end" Either I'm mentality retarded or the company over looked this. I'm a 25 year old and was an engineer in the military and for the life of me can't do it. Also the string supplied untangles very easily meaning you have to cut off a new bit of string every couple of times you try and fail to attach the sling. A suggestion on which knot to use and a step by step demonstration of this process would of been nice.
Still buy it, it's brilliant but do what I had too. Use your own (better) string and cut up an old sock as a sling. Its much more easier.

The actual process of putting it together isn't that complicated or difficult, but it takes a LONG time to get everything cut out and trimmed (about 2 hours). However, it's entirely worth it! It's so much fun! It takes a little practice getting it cocked (which the instructions tell you will happen), but once you get the hand of it, it works great! Could use a little more detail on tying the sling, that took some trial and error too, but hey, that's science!Best Deals for Mini Floating Arm Trebuchet Kit
The kit is very well made, durable, and easy to assemble. Throws a six gram wooden ball with amazing force, easily over forty feet with 200 grams of counterweight. A great demonstration of mechanical energy and leverage at work, fun for kids of all ages. Highly reccomended.Honest reviews on Mini Floating Arm Trebuchet Kit
My 11 year old son is a science/build it kind of kid. He put it together on his own (although I think we'll go back and wood glue it in some spots. He and his older brother have launched stuff all over the house during this yucky spring weather. It needs to be weighted down depending on how heavy your launching object is. It's not that big so the objects are smaller. But lots of fun.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Mini Floating Arm Trebuchet Kit
It stands about a foot tall and requires some tweeking. The instructions come with some words of wisdom on how to operate. It makes sence and one can wing it after reading the fundamentals of it all.Tuesday, September 23, 2014
Cheap Haba Fantasy Blocks
My son loves these blocks, and I wish I had these blocks growing up. They are top quality, but two of the blocks have a small red knob inserted into the top. My dog and my son worked together to remove the knob on one of the blocks, and I later found it in my son's diaper.
Haba makes really nice, well made toys.

I love Haba toys, but although this set is rated for 1-4 year olds, we had to put some of the pieces away as they are just too small for my grandson who loves to put EVERYTHING in his mouth. I'd given them to him for his first birthday, and although he really likes them, some of the blocks are just too small for a one year old. I am going to buy the Fantasy Jigsaw blocks to give him more to play with though and just put away the little parts till he can handle them.Haba makes really nice, well made toys.

We now have 3 or 4 sets of them and the kids make wonderfullly creative towns, buildings and towers out of these blocks. They are always the first blocks by kids choose to play with at our house. These will be kept for the kids forever.Honest reviews on Haba Fantasy Blocks
Gorgeous blocks which look great even after our puppy got ahold of them. However, some of the blocks (the half rounds and the dome shaped ones) are too small for my 17 month old. She put them right in her mouth and the entire block fit right in there (and she is petite!). Also for breastfeeding moms, the dome shaped ones look awfully like breasts so the little ones are really drawn to putting them in their mouths (no kidding). Still, we just put away the domes and the half rounds and still are left with a great assortment of gorgeously colored durable SAFE blocks from a reliable European manufacturer. The best assortment we've seen including beautiful graphics, holographic details, some prismlike blocks, columns, blocks with holes with columns, a block with a bell, an arch and two shaped like mini staircases. Even the 11 year old is helping out with design for the toddler! Just put away the smaller blocks until your child is old enough not to put them in his/her mouth.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Haba Fantasy Blocks
My son loves the blocks. The look like no other blocks and he gets a kick out of the block with the bell inside and the clear plastic blocks that look like ice cubes. To my horror, he can put a few of the smaller ones entirely into his mouth so I took them away so he can play with when he's older. Watch out for this if you buy these wonderful blocks.Monday, September 22, 2014
Discount Child's Keyboard Age 3+
Got this keyboard as a starter for my nieces who were beginning to get interested in music. It has several different rhythms to choose from, a recording function, and my favorite, VOLUME CONTROLS! :)I was a little disapponinted when I received this item. In the description it didnn't say if it was used or not. It doesn't matter to me if it's used as long as it's still in good working condition. In the picture it showed the product in the original box and the price was great. When I received it, it was not in a box, it was wraped in 2 layers on plastic (no bubble wrap or anything). It looks nice enough, but kind of cheaply made, and I didn't see any scratches or anything. Some of the keys you have to hit more than once for the sound to come out. However, I bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter who just wants to make noise with it, so I decided to keep it anyway.

These are a great idea and we were super excited to get them. The fittings are way too tight on the blocks and are even difficult for an adult to put together and take apart to build different words. My kids quickly became frustrated with this aspect and eventually they went into the closet to collect dust. They would have been PERFECT had they went together more easily like legos. We use our traditional wooden letter blocks for word building more than we ever use these. You just have to invest in a couple of sets of those whereas these come with enough duplicate letters to allow word building.Best Deals for Learning Resources Reading Rods Word Building Activity Set
This arrived and the marker isn't a very good one, which is alright. What is concerning to me is that the writing on the rods seems like it will rub away quickly. There are parts of the letters that are already not there, so that's not a good sign for the longevity of this product.The activity cards are helpful and my daughter does love making words with the rods, however.

Discount LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Dora The Explorer
Dora is a hit in our household, so this leap-book was only fitting for us to purchase. If your child enjoys Dora, you won't be disappointed in this fun little book. I was really pleasantly surprised by the educational content, and all the fun it provides, it is packed with a bunch of interactive little games that keep even a 2 year old interested. My 2 & 4 year olds both love this book. My four year old was jealous that he didn't have THIS book for HIS leap pad (he has bigger leap pad). This book teaches vocabulary both English and Spanish, problem solving, cooperation, and shapes and colors as well. My only wish is that they had more books to buy.

My almost three year old daughter received the My First Leap Pad for Christmas. "Santa" also brought the Dora game. She loves it! Besides being an avid fan of the show on TV, she has played this game A LOT! It's great for road trips as her older brothers punch away at their Game Boys. She feels very grown up. The pages are now easy for her to navigate. She initially was too impatient to listen to the directions and would immediately being to press buttons. This has gotten better! Some of the pages are bent but with all the use she's getting out of the book it's worth it.Best Deals for LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Dora The Explorer
My 3 year old son just got My First Leap Pad for Christmas and hasn't put it down yet! I just got the Dora book for it and he instantly figured out that you have to put the cartridge in before you can play it. He has a bit of trouble popping the book into place on the leap pad, but he's only 3 and his coordination isn't perfect yet. This is a wonderful learning tool not only for teaching how to follow directions but also a few spanish words, always helpful, and mostly some good interaction with his TV pal Dora.Honest reviews on LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Dora The Explorer

Educational Insights Geosafari Junior Animal Eye Viewers, Set of 3 Review
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program the children could not get enough of these wonderful specs which show us how how animals see life.
in the upper grades this may spark discussion of evolution, and how one vision has advantage over others, and not, and preservation and survival, etc.
But at the lower levels it makes for very interesting times and excellent masks.
good at any grade, engaging and demonstrating the reality
I think that this toy rates really high on the scale of the coolness factor of toys that the kids have played with. Educational and intriguing. A winner!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The educational value of this toy receives and A++++. My science-minded daughter could not get enough of all three of these viewers, but she loved the "insect" viewer the best. All five of our kids, ranging from age 5-10, took turns looking through these, and it turned into hours of good fun for them. I only wish that this set had MORE than three different viewers, and I would pay more for a bigger, more substantial set. Also would have been great if the company would have included more literature about each "animal" represented.I think that this toy rates really high on the scale of the coolness factor of toys that the kids have played with.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program What can a shark see? What can an insect see? What can a chameleon see? If you have a curious child who is four through eight years old then this would make a great gift for them. GeoSafari Jr. Animal Eye Viewers are a set of three animal masks with lenses that help the child see the world like a shark, chameleon, or insect would. They can carry them around on a nature walk or around the house. They can better understand how other creatures see the world differently from themselves.

I got this for my 7 year old that is crazy for LPS. It's lightweight enough that I'm curious how it will hold up, but the zipper is easy it's wide enough to place all her lunch items in and not appear crowded. She has a "purse" looking one from PB and it's small inside. So far it's a hit!

Reviews of Boikido Wooden Counting Station
So I wanted to buy my son a toy like this but everywhere I looked it was just to expensive and this seemed to be the most reasonable. I was sooo wrong. As soon as I got this product in the mail it was just to tiny. I mean it was small. I was so disappointed that I got a toy like this for my son. I was thinking I was going to get a big toy that stands on the floor that is at least bigger than my 12 month old. I was so wrong this was half the size of my 12 month old. I would have returned it but it was just too much of a hassle. For the price that they are selling this for it is not worth buying. I would settle for the ones you get at Target or at Toys R' Us or somewhere else for that matter. He barely even plays with this thing cause he just carries it around tossing it around cause that's how small it is. I'm just plainly dissapointed by this product.
