Cheap Infantino Activity Shapes Jungle

Customer Ratings:

My 3 month old hadn't been too interested in touching toys yet. He stared at things, and followed them with his eyes, but he didn't reach out and play. These were the first toys he reached out for and when placed in his hand, he held on! As he grows I can see these will be a lot of fun for him to play with, they're great! Two of the three have a teething piece, and the third has a mirror. There are lots of features to these toys that I can tell will delight him more and more now that he's got the hang of holding them.

I have never written a review but these animals deserve it! They are the first toys that my baby started tracking. She loved the colors and the sounds, especially the lion. When she was old enough to reach for things these where the first she reached for. The elephant and monkey have so many different things (tags, teething ring, tail, nose, ears etc...) that she can hang on to it made it easy for her to play with them for long periods of time. She is almost 8 months old and still loves playing with these guys! Now that she's mobile she'll cross the room just to get to them. I would HIGHLY recommend!

I think these are great and my 3 month old son enjoys playing with them. My only complaint is one of them doesn't have anything on it to be able to hang it.

Discount EasyDaysies Magnetic Schedule for Kids

Customer Ratings:

The magnets are not strong enough for use on a kitchen appliance. We like the graphics and layout but would have liked the convenience of using it on the refrigerator.

I love this magnetic picture schedule. I have two boys on the spectrum and i use this and the other add on sheets for both of them. It helps them know what is going on throughout the day and helps them transition from one activity to another. I like it better than the other ones i have tried (the laminated paper ones wear out and get lost, the magnetic one i had from Melissa and Doug was more of a reward chart for good behavior and chores)

I have the add on sets and it really helps my oldest remember his chores (he knows that he must feed the dog before he gets his afternoon snack) and it is helping my youngest with potty training (so thankful i am no longer using the velcro schedule for that, we're taking him every 30 minutes to the potty)

We love this product!

I really liked this schedule for a fun way to not overwhelm children and yet get them to complete things on their schedule. It is a good quality product and I haven't had any issues with the magnets or wear and tear. I think everyone needs to follow a schedule so this was just perfect. I would say that the blank magnets are almost necessary so that it fits each different household. I don't think this toy is meant to be 'fun' like a toy fun so I rated it a 3. I think that it is fun for a learning tool but those are two different types of fun.

My daughter loves guitars and we got this for her 9th birthday. It is thin and small compared to a regular guitar, which is nice. It plays 3 songs and is fun to tap and keep the beat. My husband loves it as much as my daughter. A fun/simple alternative to a normal guitar.

So far the guitar is pretty much on perfect play or freestyle. I am really surprised at how well my 4 yr old daughter is doing on the freestyle. She has definitely paid attention at concerts and videos! And yes, she LOVES her new guitar.

As to how well it will stand up, it has been dragged around the house, walked on by the cat and well-loved, and so far so good!

If you have a child into music, you might want to consider one of these guitars for birthday and Christmas presents!

Honest reviews on Wow Wee Paper Jamz Guitar Series II - Style 3

We bought a Paper Jamz and shoulder strap for our daughter's 12th birthday, and she hasn't put it down since her party! It was a good thing we included a pack of AAAs with it, because "Batteries Not Included". I highly suggest that you get a guitar strap for it, because I think after carrying it around all day, your arms would get tired. Also, it's just cool for the kids to add to the "rock star" picture.

Considering it's made of paper, don't expect it to last until your kids go to college, but with minimal care, I think it'll last at least as long as any other toy that's well-loved. I suspect that the paper over the "strumming" area will fade over time (based upon the tester Paper Jamz I've seen in stores) but then again, kids seem to have the attention span of squirrels so by the time it's ready for the trash, they'll probably be ready too.

There's only three songs on it, so it's an extra for the parents that there's a headphone plug-in. Even though it's a great song, there's only so many times I can hear "I Love Rock And Roll." I'm pretty sure that there's a "free play" feature, but I haven't been able to get it away from my daughter to really examine it.

All in all, the parental units are happy and our daughter is happy.

My daughter (age 7) loves this guitar. It comes with 3 demo songs that i'm worried will get very old in about a week. Otherwise she seems to love it so far. It allows for freestyle. Do not expect to be able to play this like you would a regular guitar, but it does open up the idea to younger children and perhaps sparks an interest without you having to buy an expensive guitar and expensive lessons.

Reviews of Brain Mold

Customer Ratings:

I find this too complicated to mess with and wouldn't have kept it except that a friend was desperate for an illustration for a brain talk so I gave it to her and she made it work.

I bought these brain molds for my son's science project. The molds held up very well to warm gelatin, which we used to create the different parts of the brain. We plan on keeping the molds to make yummy jello brain at Halloween.

Best Deals for Brain Mold

This is a great set of molds, but there are a few flaws. The plastic used to make the molds I received is nowhere near as sturdy as the plastic shown in the demo videos for this product. They also did not need separating by cutting, as shown, but instead arrived nested together. They work perfectly well, but the detail is minimal and the two halves do not match well enough to mold a complete brain. I suspect that they made one side bigger, and simplified details to accommodate the nesting mold parts made of lower cost plastics. This will not stand up to repeated classroom use.

Honest reviews on Brain Mold

The mold was not easy to unmold, but my students LOVED it. They just left the jello in the mold and it worked for them.

I found it hard to get the jello out of the mold in one pretty piece and the overall appearance was not what we wanted for my daughter's project. We changed gears and used it with colored melting chocolate and the project earned her a score of 102!!!! She had to do a poster board also but the class enjoyed seeing and eating her projectI m just sad she did not bring any home for me.

Buy Alphamagnets: Lowercase Letters; Multi-Colored; 42 Piece Set; no

Customer Ratings:

These lowercase magnet letters were exactly what we were looking for. My daughter is very interested in learning letter sounds, and spends a lot of time talking about and sounding out magnetic letters on our fridge. However, most sets of magnetic letters are all uppercase, which isn't ideal for learning to read since in books, most letters are lowercase.

We also have a set of Melissa & Doug wooden magnetic letters (both uppercase and lowercase). However, we'd lost some (leaving us with no lowercase of some letters). Also, some of the Melissa and Doug letters are a little hard for kids to understand. For instance, the two parts of the lowercase "i" are connected together in a confusing way.

These new letters are great. The letters are much more clearly shaped, rather than "bubbly" like the Melissa & Doug ones. The magnets stick fine, all except the letter o's, which slide a bit for some reason. They're not strong enough to hold up papers, but plenty strong enough for play. They're a little smaller than the Melissa & Doug letters and the "standard," common uppercase set we got at a yard sale, but the size difference is minor enough that they can still be mixed and matched to spell words. This is exactly what I was looking for.

This is the first cartridge we bought to go with our daughter's v-reader. Our daughter is 4.5 years old, and she really enjoys the story and games. The games are definitely aimed at an older age group but she can do about 1/2 of them by herself and the rest are challenging enough to keep her interested.

My son is now 4 but has been playing Mickey since december (age 3) and this game along hs taught him how to use his fingers to trace shapes (in the game tracing around it makes the shape look like it is being welded out of a piece of metal) so now he is able to draw them with crayons and identify them and also can count change ALSO taught him left from right in the directions it was giving to trace around the shapes. I recommend this game to anyone.

ScienceWiz / Energy Experiment Kit Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Most of the wires are only 2 hair-size strands. My 9 yr old mentee had difficulty inserting wire in motor terminal holes. Wires likely to break. A larger solid wire would make threading the motor terminal easier. LED light was missing so we did not make a vinegar battery. Base of battery powered car is very flimsy (we will glue a popsicle stick under it to prevent buckling), but the car worked very well. Solar powered propeller worked very good when sun came out, and any shadow stopped the prop. Good educational experience about power of sun. Solar cell produced 0.56 volts DC in bright sun. Prop would not turn under a kitchen spot light. We had difficulty identifying the large capacitor. A small switch between solar cell & motor would help.

We had a good time Energy Wiz: The Race to Save the Planetgetting started with this kit. Guide book is very helpful listing parts. My mentee has younger brother & sister, so he did not take it home. Followed the warning about small parts.

I bought this for my son, 3th grader. He chose it by looking at the box cover. When he received it, it disappoints him. He was expecting the box ingredient would be the same as cover.

The information about physics and solar are good. But my son got bored after a while I explained to him. I think it has too much info for him. Half of the parts look very CHEAP. That is one reason which loses attraction. But the motors and the capacitors are really good. I think it could have been improved to be more attractive to kids.

In summary, it is more like lab experiment kits. If it can be improve to attract young kids like my son. But anyway, the cover needs to be changed. It looks like false advertisement.

This is a great kit for teaching young elementary kids about energy. The experiments were fun and we found the instructions easy to follow. The explanations of most scientific concepts were excellent. The writing definitely does emphasize the importance of clean energy and problems of climate change. If you have an anxious child and were hoping to just learn about energy without having to read to them about the horrors of climate change (like mosquitoes with dengue fever) there are probably better kits for you (or just skip a couple of sections). We were a little disappointed to find that our kit was missing a few small items that it said were part of the kit. I contacted the company and was told that those items were no longer included--I guess they did not bother to include an update noting this. Overall though we still loved it an learned a lot from it. The solar cell experiments were a huge hit with my 7 year old!

List Price: $21.99

The illustrations and colors on this item are truly vibrant and adorable and they cover a lot of educational content (with fun sounds and songs). This "book" fixes many problems of previous touch books by LeapFrog, Fisher Price, and VTech, by making it so your little one cannot pull the "book" our of the "reading system" and they've also fixed a problem in prior similar items because your child can't continually hit different items to cut the sounds off the first item hit. With this item, once the child's finger presses a touch spot (and there are many!), the device will continue to finish up the sound for that touch spot before it allows your child to hit on another spot (to avoid the "rap-like" effect of similar versions from the early 2000s). Believe me this is a great feature. The only drawback is since there is no way to pull the "book" out, there aren't interchangeable titles so the device is limited to the four pages. However, they have packed a lot of games, songs, and other features into those four pages for a reasonable price at fifteen bucks and you're also spared the cost of having to buy lots of add-ons. If your toddler has been playing with your tablet though, this might not capture his or her interest as it's not backlit and obviously not as high tech but it is a fun, educational toy which would be great to take on long car rides.

I bought this for my 18 month old daughter and she loves the interaction and the music. She is a bit young for the games, but I love that this toy is going to grow with her. I didn't really know what type of games to expect, because I bought it before Amazon did their in-depth review, so I was surprised when I was checking it out, touched the bus and was told to find the way for the bus to get to the school. Very cool. My 4 year old daughter likes to play the games on it too, so I'm hoping to get a few years of play from it. My initial reason for getting this toy, is that I thought that this would be great for the babe to play with on car trips, because although she is an expert at finding the games or shows she wants to watch on the iPad, she doesn't understand that some things won't work in the car because there's no internet connection, and when she gets frustrated, she screams and throws things, as most 1.5 year olds do. I feel a lot better about giving her the Discovery Town to play with in the car because it is durable and light-weight, and throwing it to the floor is not going to damage it.

Although as another reviewer said, it is self-contained with only 4 pages, I feel that the variety of games and music make it well worth the price, especially from Amazon. Give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.

He is on the A.S.spectrum& limited verbally, but gifted cognitively.he loves to dance to the songs, mainly the firegirl, and he likes finding the different places when prompted.but after a couple days, he has everything mastered already & the appeal is just about gone for him.I thought this would have more to do& he would like it longer.he does get frustrated when there is only 1 'page' to flip as it has the look of there being other pages.in the end...this is definitely best for kids ages 1yr to 2yrs in my opinion.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Touch Magic Discovery Town

I purchased this LeapFrog Touch Magic Discovery Town for my daughter's second birthday. She's always trying to get her hands on Mommy's iPad, so I thought she'd like the touchscreen aspect of this toy. However, she grew bored with it after about 5 minutes. Not that I could blame her. There's really not that much to this toy, especially given what it costs. If you tap a few areas on either of the 2 pages, the toy's computer-voice tells you what you're touching, and then plays the sound it makes. (There's also an option to play a very limited selection of music). That's about it. What's more, this toy also frustrated my daughter because the touchscreen function isn't very sensitive. In fact, it took me a few tries at pressing pretty hard to get some of the touchscreen items to respond! Plus, there were many other pictures on the screen that my toddler kept wanting to press in order to hear the voice/sounds, and she was very disappointed when she would press a picture and nothing happened. And, as you might imagine, it was impossible to explain to a 2 year-old why she would get the voice/sounds when she pressed one picture, but nothing when she pressed another picture. Since toys are supposed to be fun and not annoying, this one is being returned.

My 8-year old daughter is fascinated with biology and everything medical and wanted to add to her collection of body and body-part models. But the only decent brain models out there are extremely expensive, mostly for classroom use. We were delighted to find an actual sheep brain on Amazon for about what I wanted to pay for a model. This would be so much richer of an experience!

You can order the sheep brain with or without a dissection kit. We happened to have a dissection kit already because my wife studied in the medical field. The kit that comes with the brain is honestly not that useful -really just a plastic knife, a wooden skewer, and a styrofoam platform like the kind used in butcher shops. The kit also comes with a simple guide to dissecting the sheep's brain, and you can find more complex descriptions/instructions on the internet.

All in all, though, we were so delighted and cost and ease of ordering. The brain comes sealed and soaked in formaldehyde, timely delivery, and well-packaged. The odor of the formaldehyde of course is strong and you should take care to ventilate the room well. But if your kids are fascinated by the study of nature, this will prove to be a powerful and cost-effective experience they will never forget.
