Review of Musical Toys MP482 Ocean Wave Drum

Customer Ratings:

I bought this toy for my baby when she was about 5 months old. She learned very quickly that she could use it as a drum or shaker to make noise. She's now 16 months old and she still likes to play with this toy. It's educational, fun, durable (she's stepped/stood on it numerous times) and you will get your moneys worth.

These drums are fun for all ages. My toddler and my infant son fight over this constantly. They love to bang on and shake it. I will say this is very durable, as many times as I have to yell "Don't step on the drum" lol its held it's own in our house. I even catch my husband playing it. I would highly recommend this for your music set or just for fun.

Best Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds Remote Deals

Customer Ratings:

This is a winner! Its mostly taken the place of the real remotes in the house which is great! I find it comical that some of the other parent review have said this toy is "not educational" or not much for "brain development". People toddlers learn by playing. That is how their little brain develop. A toy remote is not a set of flashcards, but thankfully toddlers don't require flashcards to learn and develop their brains.

After searching for some time for a play remote for our daughter, we found this at a local Walmart store. It's EXACTLY what I had been looking for!

Looks close enough to the real thing that your baby shouldn't be too disappointed when you swap your real remote with this one.

My daughter loves how the blue eyelids close.

All the buttons makes SEVERAL sounds the volume buttons on it actually do turn it up and turn it down in volume!

Her favorite button to push is the number 6 because it plays cute music.

Teaches numbers.

I always bring this with when we travel in the car or shopping at the mall. Small enough to fit in your purse, but big enough to occupy their time for a while!

VERY durable I can't count the number of times it's been thrown around and dropped and it works perfectly!

I just love it! The batteries seem to last forever in it too which is a huge plus!

Buy it, you'll love it! We've had ours for well over a year now, it's in perfect shape, and our 19 month old still loves it.

Best Deals for Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds Remote

We bought this for our daughter when she was 9 months, and she still loves it at 15 months. Our family loves the humor built into all the Sesame Street programs and toys, and this remote is no different. The volume key actually works to incrementally turn up or down the volume of the toy and the big Monster eyes are a hit with the little one, they make a cute "power on / power off" noise when you hit the button on the side. She always liked to open and shut the eyes with her finger and I think this helped refine her control of her index finger.

The best part of the remote is that it has saved us from numerous tantrums as it is very easy to throw in the diaper bag.

Honest reviews on Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds Remote

This toy caught my eye because it looks almost exactly like my actual TV remote. Same color, shape, even the buttons are similarly placed. My son has an obsession with our TV remote, and whenever he gets his little hands on it, it takes me forever to undo whatever it is he's done to the TV settings!

As soon as I received this, I didn't give it to him right off. I placed it on the arm of our couch (where I tend to place our actual remote) and let him find it on his own. When he spotted it, he made a mad dash for it, and was just thrilled to pieces! He kept looking at me sideways, wondering when I was gonna take it away, and sat quietly on the couch with it for some time!

I absolutely recommend this little toy! I never put it with all his other toys, I always keep it in the living room where the real remote is so he can feel like he's playing with the actual thing...this was definitely a smart purchase!

If your child is like my twin granddaughters and put everything in their mouths, beware that they can scrap the paint and paper off with their teeth. We had to take it away from them. The blue is painted on and the writing is paper.

Convoi Pull & Stack Toy Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The price is high but it's clear that you have to pay more for better quality. This is a top-knotch, quality toy.

Our 2 year old enjoys the stacking and actually realizes that the faces go on top (although sometimes upside down). Uses the string for pulling, too, as intended of course.

Not Made in China! and is going to make a great heirloom. Would recommend.

Both my 6 year old and my nearly 3 year old still love this toy. The quality is excellent. The colors are vibrant and the little faces painted on the top pieces are very cute. There are lots of pieces so you really need to keep track while the kids are playing with this toy but you get that with many children's toys. I would highly recommend this product and this company overall.

Best Rocks & Rock Forming Mineral Collection Deals

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this set for use in our homeschool earth-science studies. With no other reviews to go on I was a bit hesitant, but this collection turned out to be wonderful!

The samples are large and substantial (with the exception of the two micas, which by thier very nature are quite thin and fragile), the box has individual sections for each rock or mineral, and the packaging is attractive and sturdy. The accompanying study guide is informative and detailed, including discussions of all four types included -rock-forming minerals (basically, minerals that are found in nature as rocks), igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks--as well as specifics about each sample.

The Rocks and Rock Forming Mineral Collection would be a great addition to any earth-science study, as well as a fun "basic set" for the beginning hobbyist.

Review of Kid's Board Game - The Great Cheese Chase By Peaceable Kingdom

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $15.99
Sale Price: $10.60
Today's Bonus: 34% Off

Maybe its because my husband and I play a lot of eurogames, but I can't stand most kids games. The pure luck of the roll and move games don't really appeal to me, nor do I think they teach children much of anything.

This game is simple enough for very young kids in that it is a roll (or in this case spin) and move game, however the layer of choices makes it wonderful to play with older children as well (I'd say 3-8 for actual challenge) Its perfect for siblings who think on different levels. While the game is relatively easy to win your choices of who and what to more when do make a difference.

As with all coop games the game is played against the board, not against each other. This simple concept of team is fantastic for children when you are trying to avoid the whole winning/loser sibling fight.

While I do like hoot owl hoot better, this is a great game. I prefer that game because it has different levels of game play based on how many owls you use, which I enjoy more. When the kids are old enough I would like to introduce them to forbidden island. Peaceable kingdom's entire line of games is a much better option over many of the 'traditional' kids games like candyland.

5 star because its a great game, but I gave it 4 because its not my favorite in their line up.

Peaceable Kingdom's cooperative games are always a big hit with us. We love how they nurture coming together to solve a problem and figure things out. They nurture team work and cooperation. These games are great for all kids, but especially the ones that get a little too competitive while playing typical games, and for those that may take loosing a bit too hard.

The Great Cheese Chase is a cute game where you are attempting to get the mice to the attic before the cat gets there. It helps kids with learning to take turns, counting, following directions, etc.! Definitely a cute, fun, educational game!

Review of Educational Insights Nancy B's Science Club MoonScope and Sky

Customer Ratings:

I teach astronomy, and I have a pretty sophisticated Bushnell telescope I use myself. My 7-year-old gets a little frustrated with it because it's pretty sensitive. She was so excited to get her own telescope to check out the night sky with mom!! It's very easy for her to manipulate, and she is excited every time we find new things in the sky!! The Activity Journal is very engaging, simply written, and has a lot of interesting facts & pictures to stimulate kids to explore more. I think every child should own one of these!!

To the negative reviewer...this is CLEARLY a telescope made for children and young adults. Nowhere does it claim to be a professional telescope. If you are looking for a high end telescope, you are certainly going to pay more than this list price!!

I am a big fan of my 90X MoonScope Telescope with two glass eyepieces, a moon filter, tripod and red LED that allows you to journal while protecting your night vision. You need to know that if you are an MIT Fellow on loan to NASA, this is not the industrial strength instrument you are looking for. That is NOT a problem! I was not planning on paying hundred's, and the quality is more than required to give any budding astronomer a great experience. The MoonScope is well constructed, described and accompanied by instructions which explain its usefulness to the scientific method. Whether looking at craters and mountains on the lunar surface or checking out constellations, the richness of the set is tied to the use of the included Activity Journal. Having completed suggested exercises and experiments, you then use words and drawings to document your learnings. You will be startled by your first views of the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter but be ready for some real merrymaking-with-the-moon. Identify specific named features like the Copernicus Crater, see where the lunar module landed back in 1969 near the Apennine Mountains, use your journal to record the phases and changes in the moon over the month. I'm planning on checking out phenomena highlighted on the internet and in other media. For example this June Mercury, Venus and Saturn are all visible for about an hour after sunset. I got this for my grandkids who are coming to town this July, so glad I have it early for this June's stellar fireworks!

Best Deals for Educational Insights Nancy B's Science Club MoonScope and Sky

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program In the days of Ipad's and advanced computer games, very rarely do we encounter a "non-electronic" children's toy that simply captivates our child's attention. This "toy" did just that. However, unlike many other toy's, this toy brings a distinct educational value to the mix.

The MoonScope comes well packaged in such a manner that upon first presentation, my child was enthralled. Assembly was very easy with solid instructions and children can easily help in this regard. While I found the MoonScope well made, I do have a durability concern when used by 5-9 year olds, who can be rough on all products. The focusing knobs also do not operate that smoothly, but it does operate well enough and with a little well placed WD-40, the mechanism was much smoother. I would suggest teaching children to use this product with a little care. I did this by explaining it was really more of a scientific instrument rather than a traditional toy. They got it pretty quick. The LED light came in very handy to read the guide without ruining night vision (you will need two AAA batteries). The included journal and activity guide seem very useful and our daughter immediately took to them.

After some basic initial instruction, my 6 year old daughter was able to use the MoonScope independently. The two provided eyepieces provide varying magnificent and are surprisingly effective. The tripod is very lightweight, so it is important you instruct children to not touch the telescope once it is sighted in to the selected object. I actually attached a sandbag (used to stabilize my photography light stands) to the tripod to provide a little more stability. It seems to work. Perhaps the most important thingthe telescope actually works and works very well. Once sighted in to the moon with the higher magnifying piece, our daughter could not take her eyes off the moon. Afterwards, she went on the Internet to research the moon and look at high resolution images.

In summation, excellent product with a very high educational value.

Honest reviews on Educational Insights Nancy B's Science Club MoonScope and Sky

My 9 year old daughter loves this moonscope. Within minutes of receiving it she was already filling out the journal and planning what she wanted to look at that evening! She took it out the first night with her 7 year old brother and they were identifying different constellations and planets. They are already looking forward to using it hopefully tomorrow night when the weather clears up they already have it lined up outside the back window ready to go for tomorrow and have borrowed a star gazing book from the library to help them.

Good things about this product:

easy to use

engaging materials/book comes along with it

seems pretty high quality and accurate

attractive price point

specifically appeals to girls

very easy to put together she put it together all by herself

Great product and a great gift for any girl interested in astronomy or science.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Educational Insights Nancy B's Science Club MoonScope and Sky Gazers Activity Journal

This is a nice little telescope. The price at Amazon is $46.00. The quality of the piece is a bit iffy. It does everything it claims to do but if you have rambunctious kids, I suspect it will not last very long. The instructions for assembly were adequate. The need for two AAA batteries could be larger on the outside packaging. However since the batteries are not necessary for use of the telescope but just to operate the red LED light, that is not a critical oversight. The LED is for use in keeping your Sky Gazer's journal.

The activity journal is quite good. It gives decent instructions and provides activities to be used with the MoonScope. It will provide a positive learning experience.

The two eyepieces provide a surprising amount of magnification. This feels like an inexpensive toy but provides a more sophisticated magnification than you would expect. If it felt a little more durable it would be five star worthy but it is still a good value for the price.

Discount Family Pastimes / Berries, Bugs & Bullfrogs - Four Co-operative

Customer Ratings:

My 4 year old loves playing "Berries, Bugs and Bullfrogs". It introduces some simple math concepts like wich are more slugs or frogs or slug or berries. My 6 year old found it a bit too simple at the 4 year old level of play. We have not attempted the multiplication components yets. Is comparable to other Family Pastimes games we have played in terms of durability. My kids like "Princess", "Secret Door", and "Harvest Time" best for play-ability. No tears with these games.

We picked up BERRIES, BUGS AND BULLFROGS while our child was 4. He is 5 and we continue to enjoy this game.

As advertised, i BERRIES, BUGS AND BULLFROGS offers ways to play with mathematics and partnership. So far, we have played two of the 4 variations suggested. "The Good Berry Patch Game" has you build (together) berry patches that have more berries than bugs. You count all the berries and bugs in each patch. It's a good patch if it has more berries than bugs. This means many chances to talk about adding, subtracting, and comparing numbers.

"The Bug-Free Berry Patch Game," still a stretch for our 5-year old, has you score each berry patch. First, each bug in a patch eats a berry. Then you figure out the overall score for the berry patch. There's a bonus for a bug-free patch. Finally, you add up the score for all the patches to see how you did.

A whole other level of fun is offered by the pretend play possibilities of the squad of hungry bullfrogs. (Today my son declared they were a family and talked about the mommy frog, daddy frog, etc, as he played them.)

A cooperative game sounds like it might be no fun, but BERRIES, BUGS AND BULLFROGS is great. We love playing together. There is lots of energy and laughter every time we play, and our son asks to play this game.

As far as the game materials: both the bullfrogs and the tiles are very sturdy.

Only downside: the pictures on the game tiles show slugs, which I think of as not a type of bug (insects). So the first time I read the instructions, I had to look twice to confirm there were no insect-related game pieces, and that we had everything we should. I may be a very literal person, or it may be that bug is a more general term in Canada. Either way, it was a very small bump.

Our family loves BERRIES, BUGS AND BULLFROGS! We will be trying more of this company's games!

At first I was really impressed with the quality of the boards making up the pages of this book. That and the really vibrant colours that deepen as the water soaks into the page. Nothing like the 'magic' water paint books we have tried previously.

BUT, after just one use, my 3.5 year old son had coloured in a bit too hard with the supplied pen and it was only when the pages dried that we noticed that they were now covered with coloured scratches where the pen had damaged the surface of the pages.

I just feel it's a little expensive for something that was so easily damaged by a child's first use. If it were more affordable, I would give it a higher rating.

Perhaps better aimed at little girls who are a tad gentler when drawing!
