Buy Caillou Magical Adventures

Customer Ratings:

My 3 year old loves Caillou so I thought this would be a great gift for her for Christmas. She really does enjoy it and the price was excellent. However, it isn't something she can really do on her own, which is fine, but the game says this is appropriate for 2-6 year old and I think its more suited for 4 and up, but nonetheless, my 3 year old still enjoys it. I would buy it again.

We waited for months but the model we order just wasn't making it through production. Finally the company upgraded our order to this upgraded model and we had it within the week. My 1 and 3 year old LOVE it. They have both fallen off of the seat several times so I've placed it in a corner where they cannot hurt themselves more. (it's a short bench so the fall is minimal yet irritating.) The sound is odd if you are expecting a real piano sound. I wish they used the LITTLE TIKE red piano method of having xylophone bars instead of the varied length slender, TINNY, flat bars of metal. The sound would be more like the ringing xylophone bells instead of the strange timbre of tin? IT'S A TOY! It took all of 3 minutes for my 3 year old to jump back on the real piano to compare "the highest note". He knew something was just not right with the pitch and tone. So that's a good learning tool. TOY v. The real thing. It's worth having if your expectations are too high. Kids love it. That's what matters! And the manufacturer is sincerely interested in customer service.

9-piece Fruit Basket Set (Soft) Review

Customer Ratings:

Lovely soft colorful fruit pieces and a basket to store or tote them around in. The banana can be "peeled" halfway. I love that my youngest child can finally play with some toy food and I don't have to worry so much about him choking on them. I expect them to last longer than those plastic air-filled foods that these are replacing.

Easy to clean and wash, we can pretend to eat it as much as we want and it fits great into the play pots/pans in my daughter's play kitchen. The fact that they are fabric makes it easy to squish them into things for "cooking".

This fruit basket set is a lot of fun, especially for younger children. The pieces are large enough to be safe for toddlers, and are easily integrated with other toys and games for food learning and fun. My daughter enjoys them and feeds her other toys with the fruit! She also loves hanging the basket off her arm and walking around with her basket.

Honest reviews on 9-piece Fruit Basket Set (Soft)

I got very excited about this set when I saw it online because we want our daughter to learn about healthy eating habits, and thought this would be a fun companion to her shopping cart. When the items arrived, I discovered that the pieces are much smaller than I expected, and that the age rating for the product is 3+ years. I ended up putting about half of the pieces away as possible choking hazards for our one year old. The fruits are super cute, as well as the little basket, and I hope she will grow into them when she is a little older and ready to engage in creative/kitchen play. I don't recommend this for under 2 years old, though...

I just bought these and paid the $12 or so not realizing I could have purchased this item and others like it in person for $7.99 at IKEA. Cute little (and I stress, little basket is maybe 8 inches wide) thing. Didn't really open it and check it out since I am returning it.

Discount Ferrofluid 4 oz 120 cc bottle Great for Science Projects

Customer Ratings:

Experience: The material was as expected. Normal shipping. No problem.

Notes:

Ferrofluid is really cool stuff! Too bad it stains like no other! You'll also need a hydrophillic container if you want to see it in easily.

First the bad, as others have noticed, this stains like mad and the container does not pour well. It also stinks to high heavens as well.

But wow is it neat! I used a 1/2 inch neodymium magnet and put about 15-20 ml in a plastic food container. (Glad brand thin plastic resealable food container, like cheap thin tupperwear) Putting the magnet under the container produces immediate results. You can make the fluid flow uphill, and so much more.

It is a rather expensive gag/novelty item, but very neat to play with..

Best Deals for Ferrofluid 4 oz 120 cc bottle Great for Science Projects

Title clearly says 120 cc bottle, description says 30 cc bottle. This makes it look like a better value for volume per dollar, but 30 cc is only one ounce, for nearly thirty dollars there are a ton of other options that actually provide a 60 cc bottle. Don't get ripped off.

Honest reviews on Ferrofluid 4 oz 120 cc bottle Great for Science Projects

The ferrofluid works great, exactly what I wanted. The only problem I had was that the bottle had a very narrow neck, which means that I have to either get a funnel to put it back or use a jar with a larger lid. Came in one piece and in a reasonable amount of time. I intend to use this to demonstrate magnetic fields with a neodymium magnet

Review of LeapFrog Tag System with BONUS Storage Case and 2 Storybooks

I have found this toy in big box retail stores for $50-$55. What's with the price here on Amazon??? My daughter really enjoyed it in the store,so I did give it four stars for that, but I sure wont be buying it online.

I can't say enough how great this toy is. Set up was super easy and my 4 yr old daughter just loves it. The volume on the little pen was surprising. You can turn it up or down. On its highest it is not annoying and your child can hear very clearly what is being said. As said in the title....GREAT JOB LEAP FROG.

Reviews of Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Colin

Customer Ratings:

We have an autistic grandson who can't get enough of Thomas the Train. Therefore the addition of Colin went over in a big way. To see the smile on this child's face when he opened this as one of his birthday gifts was well worth the price we paid for it.

I bought Colin the Crane for my grandson, Dominic. He loves it!! He's 3 1/2 years old and has a lot of the Thomas the Train toys. I would highly recomend these toys because they are well made and encourage imagination and creativity. He will play for a long time making up stories about Colin and the other trains. It also encourages fine motor skills with the crank and the way the magnet attaches to the car. Dominic says "Colin is nice and he helps the other trains". I tell him "you are nice too and you are a good helper". Fun!!

The kids used math wraps at their school, and this system is a great way to engage kids, for a short period of time, with instant feedback. They can do this in the car, or around the house. Love them! The Math wraps are superior in that the state capitals and names get obscured by the string as it is wrapped around. It does not happen with the numbers since the script is smaller.

LeapFrog My Pal Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My year old son got this for his birthday and although he loves it and it is a neat toy, it really could have been technically executed a little better. I am hoping they send out updates via the USB cord to make his speech a little bit smoother and that they enhance the variety of "elevator" music available

The USB cable that comes with Scout is incredibly short and I would recommend a second mini USB cable if you do not already have one for another computer peripheral. The customization process was straight forward and we had him done quickly. My only complaint is that you have to create a user account and the Internet is required but that's a minor compliant since Scout ships able to be interactive without being customized. Additionally, Scout has volume control on his battery box and is not obnoxiously loud even on his highest volume

Scout is very, very soft and even with the battery box in his trunk, the puppy's body is soft and cuddly. My son spends a lot of his play time with Scout hugging him and petting him.

Scout has three main features Play games, Sing Songs, and Night Songs (the fourth paw is on and off):

The Play Games paw just chatters with your child. Asking him what his favorite color, animal and food is Scout and Baby have the same ones after you program them. Scout also makes animal noises, talks about feelings "I feel happy, show me your biggest smile!" and engages your child in direct dialog.

The songs Scout sings are cute and the choices you make when customizing show up in the songs he sings. Poor technical integration is shown when any of the customized items appear in the songs Scout sounds like he has a speech problem because the tamper and inflection of the customized objects does not match the song being sung. Also, the only music you can customize in this section is elevator music. I would like to see songs with words, more known children's songs (very surprised not to see "Baby Beluga") or the ability to add your own music to Scout.

The Night Songs paw is pretty cool. You click it once and it does 2 mins of the "night" music you choose when customizing continuously. Press it again, you get 5; once more and you get 10. Although our guy doesn't have problems sleeping, it might be a nice touch if your little one has some problems sleeping or being alone in the quiet.

All in all, our only real concern is that Scout might be the first toy he has worthy of being "that" toy he can't live without! We have a competitors talking puppy that drives us up the wall ("TUMMY!").

If you are looking for a chatty puppy Get Scout or Violet.

We got this toy for my one-year-old and she loves it! You can program in your child's name, favorite color, favorite animal, and favorite food. You can also select five songs for it to play and five different lullabyes (for a total of ten personalized songs). My little one's favorite song is the one that spells her name. The toy is just AWESOME!

Best Deals for LeapFrog My Pal

I agree with other reviewers, not much to complain about for a customizable toy for under $20.00.

PROS:

1) One of the songs Scout sings is really super cute. It's the one that incorporates your child's favorites. When I sing along with Scout my son giggles, it's so darn adorable.

2) I have a glowworm that plays nighttime music for like 15 seconds, not long enough. Scout plays up to 10 minutes GREAT FEATURE!

3) Scout is very soft and huggable.

4) When my son recognizes his name I'm sure he'll appreciate it more, but for now, it's just, well, cool to hear his name come from a toy. Gotta love technology.

CONS:

1) You have to choose a favorite animal, color and food during set up. He's six months old I don't think he has favorites at this point, and if he did, how am I supposed to know what they are?....so I just put in any old thing for now. When I want to change them, I have to plug Scout in and download new options. It should just have all the colors and foods and animals programmed in instead of "What's your favorite?".

2) There is a pretty bad inflection at the end of my son's name (Christian). I have not tried putting other names in there to see what they sound like, but his sounds a little weird.

3) "Let's sing a song about you". Hmm, well, all it does is spell his name with a funky beat behind it. He seems to like it though.

Overall my son seems to like Scout a lot. When he hears his voice he immediately looks for him and smiles when he finds him. The things I don't like about it really don't matter because the toy is not for me, it's for my son and he likes it just fine. For the price, a definite buy.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog My Pal

My daughter got this toy for her first birthday and she hasn't slept without it since! Violet sings her bedtime music and says "x minutes of bedtime music! Snuggle up _name_" It is too cute. In the morning my daughter will play with Violet for around 30 minutes before she wants out of her crib. She is in love with this toy. It's been such a hit in our house that we are getting one for each of my nieces aged 1 year and 2 years old. It was very easy to download my child's name onto Violet. It took less than 20 minutes.

My 1-year-old received this as a gift for her first birthday. She loved playing with it and singing the songs, and the fact that the dog "knows" her name and favorite colors, etc., is such a wonderful feature. Unfortunately, the dog quit working after only about 6 months. We replaced the batteries, but no luck. The dog still looks brand new we had taken very good care of it, and it was not exposed to water or anything else that might cause damage. The product only has a 3-month warranty, which is pretty poor, I think. This is the second LeapFrog toy that just quit working one day, and the company's response is always the same...too bad. I will really think twice about purchasing any LeapFrog products in the future.
