Ingenio Bilingual Smart Projector

Anyone looking for a great product with age versatility and high capacity to empower children's creativity needs to consider Ingenio's Bilingual Smart Projector. The educational aspect of this product is also extremely beneficial. My 8-year old does not gravitate to activities involving pencil & paper. With Ingenio's Smart Projector, I can now get her to concentrate for at least an hour. While creating and coloring pictures, sharpening bilingual skills and learning proper letter formation, she thinks she is just having fun. Now my biggest issue is trying to get my 3-year old to wait for her turn.

Right now my 4 year old is very much into writing his name and learning the alphabet while my 3 year old loves to draw in general. The Smart Play Smart Projector is an awesome product for both of them to enjoy for years to come. Setting up the Smart Projector was super easy and it is just the turn of a knob to turn it on and push of a button to change out the slides. There are four slides total that sit nicely in slots when not in use that feature animals, numbers and letters. There are also slots for crayons to store so you are always ready to start drawing! My 3 year old can turn it on/off by himself and put in the slides himself too, although I had to teach him to be careful. I cannot say enough good things about this product as I really think it is great for ages 3 and up and I probably would have loved it myself just to draw and trace the animals through 10 years old! It is so cool how the light shines down and projects the image you have the slide on so you can easily trace it. I remember using stencils or tracing images from underneath paper, but by projecting the image it makes it cleaner and easier to draw I think. This is also a product great for both boys and girls!

This toy worked as advertised and intrigued my 4 1/2 year old BUT it is so light weight it skids off the paper or desk. Child gets frustrated. I am going to try gluing on pieces of the non-skid material I use under rugs and hope it works.

I bought this for my grandson age 4. Other than the day he opened the gift, he hasn't touched it. He really can't use it without help. The toy is top heavy and falls over easily, the magnification is too small, and the toy itself is flimsy. The cartridges are difficult for even an adult to change.Ingenio Bilingual Smart Projector

Bebe Sounds Toy - Fuss No More Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This product has been thoughtfully created for both parents and children. This toy has been one of our favorite purchases.

The music is varied and plays at a reasonable volume. The teething ears are great for chewing and have a hole the size of a link so it can attach anywhere. Also, the toy vibrates (like a pager or cell phone) to the delight of kids.

The blinking of the eyes is my only complaint about this toy; when the eyes blink, the music goes a little wobbly, like the toy is running out of batteries.

I purchased this toy for my 5 month old and it is very cute. I didn't even know there was a mirror on the other side. She really likes it since she is teething. I would recommend this toy and it came very quick!!!

This is a great toy in theory if it were more sturdy. Over the course of 8 months I ended up purchasing 3 of these.

The first the buzzer eventually stuck in place and wouldn't stop.

The second just stopped working.

The third the music sounds off.

All three of these I replaced the batteries but nothing worked. They were never dropped, thrown, and they never got wet they just quickly wore out.

The positive is the features when they work. One button makes the eyes light up, another makes the toy vibrate and buzz, and a third plays a variety of classical music. My son was fascinated by the toy and the "ears" on the side are great for little hands to hold but are also designed to be gnawed on as a teether.

The eyes blink but a nice touch is that they change how they blink depending on if you are just using the eyes blinking or if you add in music and or vibrating/buzzing.

I am however surprised that this toy is listed as $20 and charging extra for shipping. I bought these toys for $5 each at rite aid. For the quality of the construction $5 is about right.

Babies love lights and movement and this toy provides both. The only thing that I am disappointed about is the music. The music it plays does not have very good sound quality and it is not loud enough.

I purchased this toy for my 8 month old and it stopped working about 2 months after she got it> I replaced the batteries and that didn't help. for what I paid for it, it was definitely not worth it.

Honest reviews on Peaceable Kingdom / Lock & Key Diary 'Happy Monkeys'

Bought three of the lockable diaries last year for Xmas for my 3 grandkids. The ideas was mine so I shouldn't have been too surprised when they didn't go over as well as I had thought. Like another reviewer said the keys are too small and get lost thus making the privacy of a locked diary a moot point. Check with the kids before you purchase.

It is a nice diary with sturdy binding. The little keys and lock would be easily broken if you tried, but same quality as other child diaries. It is a little more square than what the picture looks like and pages are wide-lined.

Best MAGNETIC TIME TEACHER 12 X 16-1/2 Deals

Customer Ratings:

We received this item as a gift for our 4 yr old son's birthday. The concept is great in that the child can relate activities in their day to certain times on the toy. Our son can now understand half hours, 45 minutes, etc!

The only complaint is that the magnetic hold on the magnets is pretty weak...so they don't stick real well and fall off easily if you brush up against the board. The pen also doesn't stick well to the surface and the magnet has already fallen off of it.

This item is a bit pricey for what you get, but it is really a helpful tool in teaching children to read time. I ordered it two months ago, and by the time Christmas rolled around, my daughter wasn't having trouble with time so much. Still, it is very interactive with her daily life, including magnets for kids to practice time in conjunction with their daily activities. I highly recommend this item, especially if your children are just starting to learn to tell time.

I bought this item for my 5 year old kindergartener. It wasn't what I expected. The cards are pretty durable however the letters are styrofoam and could be easily destroyed. I was expecting the letters to be made out of plastic for more durability.

I like that they are ALL the same colors. The letters look much better than any of the magnetic letter sets I have purchased in past years. They have no odor. The word cards that come with this set are fun to use....there arent many even though they are double sided. Unless you have a huge classroom to display the drawlike box it comes in, the box is too big to have around and a waste of paper to toss. I would like to see packaging be minimized for this.

I was pleased the letter pieces are very thick. The drawers and cards seem to be holding up well also, so far. If younger children are around, the entire box needs to be out of their reach. It's just a cardboard box, so little ones trying to sit on it will destroy it. And the cards would definitely be bent. But for my five year old, we love this set to reinforce sounds learned at school. There are a lot of cards too, so you can chose the ones your child is ready for. There are plenty of letters too, so I can also create words directly from my daughter's school work. Great product.

I purchased this because my daughter (3) loves Disney princesses. While it held her attention for a while, the games are very disappointing. There are only three games with two settings, but no real teaching variety. The games center on point and click, arrow buttons, and keyboard familiarity something the basic console teaches.

Overall, very disappointing for $20. Seems the game makers may just be relying on the Disney label to sell games I fell for it, but I would not recommend it.

The LeapFrog ClickStart games are not the most exceptional as far as quality of the character resemblence, and none of the games are going to turn your child into an Einstein. But my four year old loves to play them and she is learning to spell from them and learning computer skills. She especially loves anything Disney Princess. Next to the game already downloaded on the product when you buy it, this is the game she likes the most. I try to limit TV time so if I can get ready in the morning and she is doing something interactive/educational I feel it's a bonus.

Best Deals for Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Disney Princess, The Love

My daughter is just now getting into Princess mode and she likes this game. I like the game b/c it teaches her a bit more than the other games we own, which are Learning Carnival, and Cars.

The Ariel game on the 1st level teaches arrow key use. Which is also reinforcing right and left concepts. This is the best game so far with teaching arrow key use. She now understands what those keys are for and can play it herself. My daughter is just over 2 1/2 yrs old.

The Cinderella game on the 1st level teaches them to click and "drag" the mouse. This is concept that hasn't been taught on any of the other games. You click the shape and drag it over to the cut out shape in the dress. The game catches it when they get close and puts it in the dress for her. I really like this basic dragging concept and she is learning about where to put missing items. I am very happy with that part. It switches over to designing Cinderella's dress and the game is not very forgiving when it comes to the mouse, you have to be pretty exact. That will be good for her when she gets a little older and more into the age range intended for this toy. So she already has to grow into level 1 a bit. I like that.

The Belle game will be more exciting when she is bigger, also a bonus. On Level 1 you use the arrow keys to catch books. On Level 2 it calls out a letter and you push the letter to catch books. Level 2 is actually easier for my daughter than level 1. This is a reoccuring theme on for us on the Clickstart. My daughter can find letters better than using coordination with the mouse to complete games and finding letters is a Level 2 concept. Odd.

After you complete a game you get a bonus round of clicking on gems before they disappear. They disappear faster on this game then they do on any other of the ones we own. So it will be better for the kids more inside the age range for the Clickstart. Not as good for the newbies.

I like this game a lot. If you have a beginner at this computer and want to purchase a game to go with the Clickstart, I highly recommend this one. Ariel and Flouder talk a lot which gives them a little exciting break in between games.

Honest reviews on Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Disney Princess, The Love

Overall, I'd rate this an average to disappointing experience. There's only three games (plus a song/sound effect generator), and Cinderella's "game" is basically just a drag and drop dress decorator. The little mermaid game is a maze which taught my daughter how to use the cursor keys to move up, down, left and right. The belle game is pretty hard for a young kid, as you have to guide a character using the arrow keys to pick up books that drop from the sky rather quickly.

My three year old enjoys this cart but it only holds her interest for 15 minutes or so. The educational aspects feel thrown in and there isn't much variety. There's quite a difficulty jump from Level 1 to Level 2 as well.

Definitely don't pay full price for this cart, it's just not worth more than $12.

9-12 still love to go to the board and pick teams. The spinners provide a fair and suspenseful way to get all kids engaged in the set up stage of an activity. Wish I could think of more ways to use the spinners.

These spinners are an excellent addition to your teaching toolbox. These spinners have a strong magnetic back that holds the spinner to any magnetized surface. I draw a large circle, divide it into sections and label each. My students spin the spinner and the whole group game begins. They absolutely love it! It is also a great method to teach probability!

I was a little worried that these spinners would 1) fall off the board when spun and 2) come to rest in a vertical position more often than anything else. But they are great as long as you spin them carefully. Once you get the hang of how much force is needed (spin too hard and yes, they do fall right off), they work very well, and they do NOT always land pointing straight up or straight down, not at all (that one was my biggest worry). My students LOVE these, and I love how I can use them for just about anything. I do wish the magnets were much stronger so I could let the kids spin them (we tried, but first graders just can't spin them gently) but that's a minor issue.

I teach Kindergarteners, most of the time in small groups working on literacy. I saw these spinners and immediately thought of all the possible activities we could do and how much the kids would like them. Unfortunately, one of the spinners came broken and one of the others is not well balanced, so that it tends to always point down after spinning. The third one seems to be working for now. As I said, great idea , but poor execution.

Reviews of Fisher-Price iXL 6-in-1 Learning System (Silver)

Customer Ratings:

My son loves this. He calls it his little computer. He loved the software that came pre loaded and the Handy Manny software that we bought to go with it. He also loves that I loaded a bunch of pictues of family and friends that he can look at and play with. I have not yet tried to load music but you can.

The only drawback that I can think of is that you have to load the games on your computer and transfer them to the ixl. Not too bad, just thought I was getting a "cartridge" or something that he could change out himself.

I would also recommend getting some kind of bag or carrying case to take it along with you. I am looking for one to "protect" it.

overall: a wonderful purchase!!!!!

We wanted something fun but educational for our boys of 5 and 2, we bought the leapster 2 but took it back to the shop as it wasn't durable enough and it didn't actually do what we wanted, At the time my parents were visiting relatives in the U.S and we were browsing the net one evening, came across the IXL and thought wow! we want those, but could we get them here in the U.K? No! so luckily enough we ordered 2 from Amazon and my parents fetched them back for us, I think the onbly issue we will have are some of the spelling, but I am so excited to see my boys faces this Xmas, it certainly will be a pressie with a difference as we don't have them here, very unique to us, love the fact it has 6 varieties of things to it too!

I bought this for my youngest son's 4th bday. It was an instant hit! Took it out of the box beforehand and loaded some photos and favorite songs I had downloaded from amazon. We do not even have any of the software titles and he still loves to play with this. He has a lot of fun drawing on the pics of his brothers and playing music like his own ipod. Very easy to load the songs and photos onto his iXL. His older brothers (6 and 7.5) have been asking to play with it too.

I highly recommend this toy for the 3-5 age group. Bought it from amazon w/2 day prime and received it next day!

My son opened this Christmas eve and by noon on the day after it quit functioning. It also goes through batteries fairly quickly. My son loved it but I cannot believe it only lasted 2 days. Then, I couldn't exchange it on Amazon. They said that no others were available but that was wrong. There were others available, just $40.00 more than I spent on it.

How it stopped workingI had it connected to my Mac to add some pictures to it. While syncing it told me error and to restart it. However, it would not restart. It was locked. So I took out the batteries and put them in. I started it up. It went to the Fisher-Price screen and that's it. No further. I decided to use the reset button the back. After that it wouldn't even get to the Fisher-Price screen. Just completely blank.

I got this for my four year old daughter, it was not worth the price or the hassle. The original device I purchased was shoddy and never turned on properly. Fisher-Price is well aware of this problem, its even documented in other reviews here and is not all that uncommon I suspect. They did replace the defective device, but I had to pay the shipping and handling.

When I got the new device, it did turn on properly. However, the software that allows you to transfer information and new games to the device is also shoddy. It commonly crashes and I've been forced to call customer support yet again. My expectation is that this is simply not worth the asking price considering the problems I have had and the unreliability of the device.
