Discount Drama Cue Cards Game

Customer Ratings:

This was easy to use and fun for my students. My only complaint was the durability of the cards. They are very flimsy and looked beat up after only one use. I hope to laminate them, or else they will disintegrate soon.

Fisher-Price Perfectly Pink Purse Review

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this for my five month old daughter and she really likes it! The purse rattles and the handle serves as a teether too! The purse has a velcro closure which is good when all of the contents are inside. It comes with a lipstick that is a rattle which is really cute, although the handle is a little difficult to grasp. The money is soft material and crinkles and has a plastic coin attached. The little makeup compact is a ladybug with a mirror. Lastly, there are keys, but they are one solid piece and I wish they were seperate and jangly. Overall, it is an adorable first purse. I had to decide between this one and the Laugh and Learn Purse Fisher Price Laugh & Learn My Pretty Learning Purse and I chose this one because she already has so many toys that sing and count. This is just simple and sweet.

When I saw this on the web I fell in love and thought it was too cute. Once I received it I was not disappointed. I keep it in my diaper bag for my daughter to have toys on the road. I like that it is really cute but practical too for my daughter who is now 8 months old, teething and wanting to put everything in her mouth! All the items including the purse itself have a purpose, either being for teething or stimulating.

Honest reviews on Fisher-Price Perfectly Pink Purse

While in Dallas visiting our new 41/2 month old niece I never seen a baby play with a toy so much. She absolutely loved this toy. She was just starting to crawl and there were plenty of toys but she loved the money and the lipstick. They were so easy for her to grab and shake and rattle. I was so impressed I had to buy one for my co-workers grand-daughter. They are the cutest baby toy ever.

Discount Hape - Mosaic Puzzle in Bamboo

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $33.27

Pros:

1. FUN! My grandson loves it!

2. There are no "rules."

3. It holds a five-year-old's attention.

4. It holds his grandmother's attention.

5. It hold the attention of adult guests.

6. Any way the tiles are arranged, it looks like a work of art.

7. The pieces are precision cut bamboo, with no rough edges.

8. The tray has just enough "ease" to make it easy to put the pieces in and take them out.

9. The colors are gentle, yet bold and clear. Non-toxic.

10. There are more tiles than you need to fill the tray -many more. Enough so that you can choose colors and shapes to suit the design or pattern in mind.

11. Pleasing to look at, satisfying to handle.

Cons:

1. The pieces are too small to have around toddlers.

2. It's hard to put away. Oh, there's a cloth bag for the pieces -and the sturdy box size is ample to to just toss everything in -but it's so beautifully made and designed, so engaging, you'll want to leave it out on the coffee table.

I bought this puzzle for my 5-yr-old niece, and as it turned out, it was fun for the whole family! We liked the fact that there were so many possibilities in terms of designs and that it comes with some suggested designs that are easy to create. It was too challenging for my niece to create the suggested designs on her own, but she will grow into it and she enjoyed making patterns and creating a beautiful design with every attempt. I have two minor complaints about the product one is that I wish there were more little triangles, which would add to the flexibility and possible designs, and the other is that the light and dark green pieces are so close in color that you can hardly tell the difference. Other than that, we loved it and will continue to play with it for days on end. I like the fact that it is made from bamboo and that it comes with lots of extra pieces and a nice canvas bag to hold all the pieces. I'll definitely be giving this as a gift again!

We got this puzzle for our five year old daughter and not only does she love to work on it, but so does our whole family. Creating your own beautiful patterns is so satisfying and is a really nice blend of art and geometry practice! My only complaint is that they give way too few triangles.

I echo everything P Geis said, plus the puzzle is excellent for people with dementia. It taps the creativity that may remain intact even with significant cognitive decline. There are no opportunities for mistakes and the end result is colorful and attractive. You can allow as much independence in design as the person can manage. There's enough ease in our puzzle base that adding a new piece can push existing ones a bit out of place if the puzzle is flat. This is frustrating for arthritic hands (but doesn't seem to bother kids). The issue is minimized by using the stake that elevates the puzzle base at about a 30-degree angle, allowing gravity to keep the pieces more secure. Definitely a 5-star product. Makes me want to investigate other Hape offerings.

Best AM/FM Radio Kit/Trainer (requires assembly-advanced) Deals

Customer Ratings:

If you're a tech buff, you'll love this. I'm building this for my Auto/mechanics class in High School, and this is my latest project. I love it. I've finished the AM part and am halfway through the FM part, and the AM part worked the first time I tried it. It sounds very loud and clear after adjusting the coils. Putting it together was an awesome experience, and I couldn't wipe that grin off my face when I turned it on and it worked. The instructions are very clear, they get straight to the point and have you do some testing with a multimeter along the way to make sure you didn't screw anything up. Great kit, just three tips:

Don't drop the AM antenna. It is little more than a bar of iron, and it WILL crack into several pieces.

Don't forget to put the plastic o-ring under the volume potentiometer.

On the AM/FM tuning gang capacitor, make sure you put the two screws on first BEFORE soldering it to the board. If you don't do this, it will cause the PCB to noticeably bend, and that's no fun.

I'll make this short. If like me, you miss building those kits--this is the one you want. At first I thought it would be too easy--I haven't done it yet, but I did open the box and give it the 'quick once over'.

Apparently, it is 'just' complicated enough to keep my interest--I would have perferred building my own cabinet stereo...but they don't exist anymore. So I settled for this little one. Oh yes, this comes with a small speaker.

All you technos who want to build your own radio (including the soldering and circuit board parts) that will fit into a small shoe box...this is the one to get! (it was also the only one I could find on the internet--those Snap-on and Spring Clips aren't my bag).

So, it gets my five star rating.

BYE!

Best Deals for AM/FM Radio Kit/Trainer (requires assembly-advanced)

I originally purchased this kit as part of my capstone project for my associates degree in computer and electrical engineering. The manual that comes with the kit makes for a very good learning lab, especially if you have an RF generator and an O-scope to use. Make sure you follow the directions to a T and never assume. Once assembled the AM Part of the radio worked really well. The FM side worked OK. I had problems picking up stations inside of my school building on the FM side more than the AM side. The kit does react to noise, as it does not have a box to block it. The silk screen board is really nice as it labels the sections of the radio, but mine came with small cracks on the surface.

This project is good for someone just starting out learning electronics communications.

Honest reviews on AM/FM Radio Kit/Trainer (requires assembly-advanced)

Very nice kit. Only amplifier was oscillating. Just place the extra provided capacitor over powerconnection of IC and over the input of the IC and ground a resistor of 10 Kohm and all is OK. It is a lot of fun to build the radio and reception is above expectation.

I learned to solder (via the learn to solder kit) only weeks before I made the plunge and bought this kit. I always wanted to build a radio! When I turned it on and heard real music, I must use the overused termmajic. Very cool. later I soldered on a 9v power supply from a cell phone so I don't need batteries.

Although my son is a little younger than this toy's age recommendation, I went ahead and purchased it because it was just too cute to pass up and he loves anything that has wheels. The remote control feature is so easy to use even for a young child. With only the two buttons, he has no trouble making it go! As a parent I love the educational features that it has with the games and teaching him his colors and beginning alphabet already. It's never too early to start learning these days!

Fisher-Price Little Superstar Bop 'n Beats Drum Set Review

Customer Ratings:

I thought this would be a great toy, I mean, a drum set for a baby. But this just isn't a drum set, it is a badly designed hard plastic toy that makes noise. And half the time it doesn't even make drum like sounds but sings for you. Or yells at you. I mean, hit that plastic drum and half the time it will sing for you "babadoo ba ba ba". Common. That is just simply dumb. If there had been a button for the toy so that it only made drum sound in mode one and did this stupid singing/yelling in the mode two I might have liked it a little better. Or make more parts that do the yelling if you so wish. But the "beebeede beebabooo Yeahh" is even irritating to my seven month old. This could so easily have been a great toy. I thought more highly of Fisher Price than this. Slight modifications on the sound would have made it nicer and make some of the hard plastic soft (for my teething 7 month old). And why not have more parts that move and rattle to make sounds on their own, what is wrong with that? As is it is not a very nice toy. I was so disappointed!

I purchased this for my daughter after my husband saw it in a store (he's a musician) and my daughter was thrilled with it immediately (5.5 months old then.) She "got it" right away and never seems to tire of it. I was pleased with the sturdy construction and the dual volumes. I like that it plays both scats, and each instrument individually. It's bright, colorful, and I love that all the pieces have smiling faces, as babies really identify and enjoy faces on EVERYTHING. This was well worth the money and I have recommended it to many other mom's in my online groups. It's a great toy!

UPDATE: My daughter is now 15 months old and still plays with this toy. I just wanted to add that it is still going strong and holds her interest.

We got this toy as a gift. Was never played much with neither of my two babies paid attention to it. There is nothing much there just a stand with some drum-shaped attachments that play some short song or music when hit. Yesterday I sold it at a yard sale for a dollar and had two mommies fight over it. Thus became curious and checked the price of this toy here. Frankly, I am shocked to see it priced at $39! I thought it was under $10 for all the play value and functions it has. Save your money, it is an overhyped & overpriced toy.

Got this as a gift for my daughter this past Christmas. I know, I know, if it's enjoyable for baby it shouldn't matter to dad, but I was hoping that there would be more musical features with this toy (I have to agree with reviewer Sigrun Hreinsdottir, the scatting "biddabeebopbopboo" is a tad irritating) and my daughter only plays with it sporadically, it doesn't really hold her interest. If there's one toy I would recommend it would be the LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table, I got this for her last Christmas and she STILL enjoys playing with it (I'll be writing a separate review for that, but let me say beforehand that I do highly recommend it). In all fairness to this product, my nephews seem to enjoy it.

Pocket Chart Door Hangers Review

Customer Ratings:

First let me say something about the review questions. This toy is not fun nor is it a toy but I think the quality and the product are great so I gave all questions 5 stars.

Now to the review. The hooks are perfect to hang my daughter's calendar on our laundry room door. They stay in place even when the door is in regular constant use. They are very durable metal usually is and easy to "connect". I would order again if I were in need of hanging something like a school calendar again.

The Pocket Chart Door Hanger should not be identified as a toy. It is a valuable tool. As mentioned earlier, fun and educational qualities of the product do not apply. In my office, when an employee moves, EVERYTHING goes with him/her. That's not the way it's supposed to work. I purchased my own white board for the door of my office. In the last move, holes were drilled into the door. Mounting was no problem. This time, I needed an alternative way of displaying the board--no new holes may be drilled. This product looked like it would work. I am happy to say that it's better than I expected. You can adjust the height of the hooks; the design is such that the board does not bounce when the door is opened or closed. The stabilizing hooks come with rubber tips that prevent marring the door. These hangers were thoughtfully designed. I highly recommend this product.

Honest reviews on Pocket Chart Door Hangers

The door hanger doesn't actually fit properly over the door it's too loose, and as a result, it has chewed up the door and door frame. I had to add a few shims (which look terrible) to get a solid fit. I would not waste the money again.

This product works well for what it's designed for which is to hang pocket folders. I'm not sure why it's designated as a "toy" under amazon. It's a little big for the door I have it hanging on but it works well.

Discount Mini Floating Arm Trebuchet Kit

Customer Ratings:

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!

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.

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.

Cheap Solar Flare Dual Parabolic Solar Cooking System

Bread, chile, rice, soup, even brownies cooked by the sun? Easy, affordable and the food is delicious. I am impressed with how easy this solar cooker is to use. We used to cook with a bulky box cooker but I have enjoyed how much more versatile the Solar Zenith is. It also cooks the food much faster. Dinner in the box cooker used to take all day to be ready to eat. I also like the idea of being able to can and make any water clean and pure to drink by using this cooker. I am planning on giving all my children at least one for their homes to use in emergencies. My campers will enjoy it on the trail too. It is so easy, maybe they will use it everyday just to save on energy costs. I highly recommend the Solar Zenith not only for emergency cooking and peace of mind, but for just plain fun cooking with the sun.

The number of magnet words included with this kit is a little overwhelming, and I find myself trying to figure out how to arrange them. There is only one example of a saying on the front of the box, and it would have been helpful if there had been additional examples included with the kit as a starting point.

The magnets themselves seem to be good quality, and the writing is clear and consistent. My only issue is the box they come in while it is very pretty, the box's window is not covered with anything (the front of the box is actually a lift-up flap), so the magnets fall right out if you try to store them! I ended up cutting the piece of hard plastic that initially contains the magnets and taped it to the inside of the box, but I shouldn't have had to do that.

I would have given this set a 5 star if there had been examples of sayings provided and if the box (which really is quite pretty) had been suited to store the pieces in.
