My students really got into this activity. The minerals are very small and some of them are hard to test (hardness and streak test) but it was effective and my students learned from it.

I was SO excited to get this for my son. He is obsessed with the states right now and loves puzzles... I thought this would be the perfect gift for him! When he opened it, he was so thrilled that he didn't even want to look at any of the other presents, but once he started putting it together he became very frustrated. The pieces wouldn't stay together!! Even the adults couldn't get the pieces to stay. He refused to play with it anymore because he didn't like the fact that every time he would touch it, it would fall apart. Worst design ever. This is going to be returned.

I'm not super jazzed about the puzzle aspect. It's printed on both sides which adds a level of complexity plus the pieces don't fit together tightly.

Overall my son really loves the map and it helps that each state has facts that he can listen to and learn from!

Honest reviews on LeapFrog LeapReader Interactive United States Map Puzzle (works

We leave this set out on a table, and my 4yo loves it! I particularly like that it's a puzzle first, in addition to the electronic side of it. The 2 different sides give her a variety of learning opportunities. We don't have many electronic games in the house, so I admit that setting up the TAG pen was a bit of a challenge (and you do have to buy the pen separately). I expect someday we'll get the World Map.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! I'm a big fan of LeapFrog Tag merchandise in general, but how cool that they have broadened the use of the Tag pen beyond books?! The map is really neat, has games as well as great educational info, and I love that it is 2 sided. One side is more of a topographical terrain map, and the other side makes the state borders clear. The only complaint I have is that the pieces come apart easily during use. I think if the pieces were a bit thicker and hefty they would stay together better. This wasn't enough for me to take a star off, though.

Buy Glitzi Globes Dome Maker and Display Unit

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Got this toy for my 6-year-old granddaughter. As another reviewer said, the picture on the box shows a lot more than you get, although the description of the contents of the box is accurate.

The child loved the toy, but I would not suggest assembly anywhere but the kitchen table, as it is very messy. Some of the little toys would not go on the bases once in the globe maker, but we found if we laid the bases flat on the table and pushed the toys in first, then put them in the globe maker it was easier to assemble.

Filling the big dome with the bottle was a real mess, and I wound up taking it to the sink and filling it. The spinner for the little domes was useless, and we just held them closed with our hands while we shook them. I think this is more practical for a child anyway since their fine motor coordination in their hands and fingers isn't always well developed at the optimum ages to play with this toy, which I agree with another reviewer, is about 6 to 8 years old.

I didn't find anything on the box that gave the appropriate age group for this toy, but the ad on Amazon says not for children under 3, which I heartily agree with. There are far too many tiny and pretty parts that kids might put in their mouths And it says for children 5 to 15. I would be surprised if a 15-year-old would want to play with it.

Children don't seem to mind the messiness of this toy at all, but I would caution against letting them assemble it in their rooms unless the floor and assembly area is waterproof. Some supervision and assistance with assembly of the toy wouldn't hurt, in my opinion.

Overall, it's a cute toy with lots of pretty colors sure to delight the young ones as it did my granddaughter.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My little girl is 9 and she loved this toy! She couldn't wait to open it and put it together. It is fun, and pretty easy to assemble. The biggest disadvantage was she wanted to do more globes! But she had a great time and it kept her entertained for a bit and she loves to display the finished product. She now wants to buy more to give to her friends as gifts.

Honest reviews on Glitzi Globes Dome Maker and Display Unit

I bought this, along with another starter pack, for my daughter's 8th birthday. She loved it and made all the globes right away. I needed to help her make the first few, but after that she could do it alone. It can be a little messy, but it is only water and cleans up quickly. The display unit makes a carousel and four mini-globes, but there is space for more so plan to buy another set or two if you don't want it to look empty. Only criticism is the four display spots in back are up on little sticks, but the set came with two sticks instead of four, and they do not fit snuggly in the base. It's fine for now as she doesn't have enough to fill all the spaces, but if she continues to collect them she'll notice soon enough.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My daughters (11 and 4) love this toy because they can play with it together. Or maybe that's why we the parents love the toy.

Immediately, you have to understand -as most are apt to do -the box is the idealistic notion of what this toy is. The box is Plato, the toy is Aristotle. However, this does not mean the tangible toy is any less fun than the real, i.e. on the box, toy. It just means there is less realized.

The toys are easy to understand, with no learning curve. The mess is minimal if you have children who can do these things by themselves. My 4 year old made less of a mess with these than she does brushing her teeth. And, don't worry about the tiny parts if you fall within the age group.

A great, easy, and fun toy even if the supply of toys is limited.

Best B. Ballyhoo Ball Deals

Customer Ratings:

So very happy to be directed to you (Amazon.com) by the company that creates this toy...they only create; they do not sell their product. my friend JD is 19 months old & his pt lent him the Ballyhoo ball to help JD with his hand & finger therapy. the Ballyball is bright, the smaller balls are different in color & texture. they are durable; yet they are 'kind' to a toddler's grasp. they are 'at home' in JD's wading pool & are easy to clean. wether just one or all the balls are used at the same time, they entertain & help JD' s therapy needs...which is our goal. since JD was so preoccupied with the Ballyhoo, i wanted him to have his own...it seems to be 'new' each time he reaches for it. this child at 19 months is unable to crawl; yet he has learned to get around & seek out his favorite toys...his Ballyhoo is one of those!!B.

My 1 year old absolutely loves this ball tge only concern I have is that some of the balls so not stay in and come out quite frequently, one has already been lost. The smaller balls all have a sifferent fearure like one squeaks, one has points, one is like a bean bag. Ither than the fact that somehow the little balls dont stay in their holes very well.

Best Deals for B. Ballyhoo Ball

We thought this toy would be perfect for our almost one year old who loves balls, and it seemed to have great reviews. We were very disappointed with it when it arrived, it is bigger and clunkier than we had pictured, the texture was pretty rough, and the smaller balls either fell out and wouldn't stay in or were difficult for my son to get out. He didn't pay any mind to it all, neither did my three year old. For the price I found it to be a very disappointing product. We are returning it.

Honest reviews on B. Ballyhoo Ball

In the description it says "each small ball does something different". They don't, they just feel different. The pink spiky one doesn't even fit in to the big ball, and only one of them bounces. Expensive and not worth it.

It's important to note that the vertebrae do not come on a stand and there is no intervertebral disk included, however, it was exactly what I wanted! The 5 vertebrae come threaded on a string that you can just cut and have the single vertebrae to study. It seemed accurate enough to identify the different parts.

When my mom gave this as a 1st bday gift to my son I was dubious as to how much he would like it and how long I'd be able to stand the noise. Happily I was pleasantly surprised with both his reaction to the toy and my ability to listen to it over and over again. The tone is low and therefor very easy to "tune out" when he repeatedly hits the same button. He loves the animal noises and the child's voice that sings "Old MacDonald". It's been 5 months and this toy has become a favorite to take along in the car, to playdates, and to wake up with in the crib providing mommy and daddy with a bit of a morning sleep in. I highly recommend this as a baby gift.

Discount Live Butterfly Kit: SHIPPED WITH 10 Painted Lady Caterpillars Now

Customer Ratings:

We got this earlier this Spring, I decided not to review until our butterflies were released. Our three year old was amazed watching the caterpillars eat inside the small containers. All arrived alive, but two out of ten died later. The eight left did turn into cocoons right before our eyes three weeks later. I carefully placed them into the butterfly container, on the side using the hook on the paper backing as instructed. All eight turned into butterflies in three to four weeks after that. Then as a family we released them by the wild growing raspberry bush near our apartment. Our daughter was sad, yet also happy to watch them fly away. Every now and then throughout Spring we saw them in the trees right where we released them.

Family Pastimes / Christmas Game - A Co-operative Game Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My children loved to play this game at Christmas and I have given it as gifts to a number of relatives and families, for many of whom this game has become a family tradition at Christmas. Ours has almost fallen apart from so much use and so I'm buying this one for us for next Chriistmas. It should see us through anothe generation of children.

I especially recommend this for a family with children at different ages. Because it is a cooperative game, the players all win or lose together. And as you play it, you can devise strategies to increase your chances of having a Merry Christmas, i.e. saving some gift-giving till later in the game, which helps the younger children to see the benefit of the other players strategizing. Usually, of course, younger players lose when older players play their best game...

Highly, highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that language is best learned young.... and that all new moms want to give their kids an edge in life (as well as keep them busy) so I've bought this as a gift for a number of friends and the gift has been met with great response. More important however is the kids seem to love it. One of my friends has reported that her daughter (18 months) is entranced by it and has started to repeat the words and phrases. I wish these had been around when my kids were young. Anyway, highly recommended as a gift or for your own little ones.

Best Spaghetti Legs Table Deals

I purchased this table for my Grand Daughters for Christmas. They were amused at first! One is 15 months old and the other is 4 years old. The four year old isn't interested at all. She likes her hand held games. The younger one does play with it a few times a week. Would recommend it for a doctors office or preschool. It has lots of maze like wires and beads. But, really only used occasionally.

I did read the prior reviews, but I'm a sucker for cute wooden toys and I figured they couldn't be *that* small. Well, they are. They'll be outgrown by your baby pretty fast. To give you an idea, everything easily fits in the palm of my hand and the stick is about the size and width of a fat pen. If I'd seen them at a store I would have passed unless they were a lot cheaper. I give the product 3 stars because they're cute and seem well made, but I'm just not happy about what you get for the money.

Review of 3B Scientific Einstein Relativity Watch

Customer Ratings:

This watch has a moving faceplate so the numbers will move clockwise every second. This watch has a very simplistic design and I like it. It's not obnoxiously done like other watches. It's fun to just watch the time move and try and figure out what time it is relative to the moving faceplate. I've heard that the glass face can be fragile. And to change the battery, I believe you have to pull out the adjuster and use a tiny screwdriver on a notch on the backside.

I bought this off of Thinkgeek for around $35 (b/c I wanted to order some other things). Definitely order from here through Amazon.

Honest reviews on 3B Scientific Einstein Relativity Watch

The face of the watch is nice and the idea is great. There are no instructions with this and the band is very cheap looking. I bought this for my boyfriend and he very nicely said to re-gift it to my 8yr old. Not a watch for an adult, unless you want to change the band. It kind of ruins the look and idea. The bank is thin and much smaller than the face of the watch which makes it look very cheap.
