I purchase this game for my neice. My sister in-law says she loves it. She spends a few hours during the day having fun and learning at the same time. The price was great for the game. And not having to pay shipping was even better.

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my sister, she's a HUGE music freak and she's awesome at playing any intrument. When she got it for Christmas she started playing it right away and loved it. It sounded really good, and the she liked that it came with at least one set of mallots. It shipped really fast and it was as described!

I have had this set for over 2 years and it is still going strong! I use it during live shows and in recordings and the high pitch cuts through amped guitars and a full drum kit very well. This is not a toy; it can be used as a professional musical instrumentmine has been around the country a few times and is still in great shape. The mallets that come with it actually have a good sound but they are kind of flimsy. I had to glue the ball part back on to the handle on both of them eventually. When the handles broke I bought the Mike Balter MBB7 hard mallets because I need my sound to be LOUD. I love this little kit and even if I eventually get a more expensive set I will still use this one when I need a loud clear bell sound.

The journal itself was what i was looking for. Ii was purchase for a relative and contain everything that was needed except the key. The that is picture with journal look like it would have the ability to lock it,which is what I wanted, but that was not the case. The key was only for decoration, and for as much as the journal cost you would think a key would be included.

Discount Sparkup - The Magical Book Reader + 2 Books

Customer Ratings:

Just when you were afraid books were becoming obsolete, along comes a product to allow children to experience the magic of reading. This great product allows anyone to record them self reading a book and then have the child hold the book, turn pages and hear their grandparent, parent or other loved one read them a story. Great for long distance grandparents, a parent away on business or a new reader who wants to practice their skills. And the magic in Sparkup? If the wrong page is turned, the device knows just the right words to read. How much better to be tucked in to bed with a real book instead of a computer screen. Great product!

Best Baby Einstein Caterpillar and Friends Play Gym Deals

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $39.32
Today's Bonus: 34% Off

We like:

The movement-activated star that lights and sounds.

The variety of toys.

The print of the mat combining real images and illustrations.

You can attach toys to the mat, not just the arcs above the baby.

We don't like that much, but tolerate:

Polyester fabric is too... "slick" so baby can't gain traction during tummy time in order to crawl.

Rings for hanging toys are not enough. Some of the toys would be too high so we got some extra rings and used then to also hang other soft toys we had. You could get the Bright Starts Lots of Links.

Hope my review helps you.

I like this little gym, but I do have a few complaints about it. I'll start with what I like.

Pros:

* Very bright and cheerful

* Toys are cute and interesting

* Has a small footprint

* Easy to assemble

* I like the music on the Star

Cons:

* It's smaller than I would have liked

* I was afraid the Star that blinks and plays music would give my daughter a stroke. The blinking light was so fast and crazy it scared her, so when we use it, we lay it face down on the floor, which negates half of its purpose

* The material is very slippery, so when my daughter started rolling, she would slip around and then get caught up on the arms

My biggest complaint is the Star and how fast it blinks. Had I known this before I spent the money on it, I would not have purchased this item.

This playmat is great, and the reason is the light-up musical star. My seven-week old daughter smiles and even coos everytime I lay her down on the playmat and turn the star on during her activity time. It is so cute.

Honest reviews on Baby Einstein Caterpillar and Friends Play Gym

Could be a lot better. I think your paying more for the Baby Einstein label etc than anything. Toys seem a tad cheap and the star that lights up doesn't stay on very well.

I love how colorful the mat is and the toys that come with. My daughter seems to enjoy the toys, especially the dog, mirror and star. I agree with other reviewers that the mat is way to slick for tummy time but that doesn't bother me because we can easily do tummy time somewhere else. The star does blink VERY FAST and sometimes I am concerned if it overwhelms my baby but she is happy when she looks at it do that's all that matters!

Thought this block was cute, but it has some faults! I would not have bought it had I been able to test it out personally. It's not very musical, only one nursery rhyme and some sounds. It would easily become boring. Also, to replace the batteries is somewhat difficult.

Review of Elenco Surface Mount Technology Kit

Customer Ratings:

This was so much fun, my second kit this weekend the first one wasElenco SP3B Practical Soldering Project Kit. I am repairing smart devices and game systems with a GQ 5200 rework station I bought on ebay, it was unavailable here and a real nice product made in the USA with a warranty and a bunch of accessories to go with it. It was so much fun to do I am getting more Elenco ProductsElenco Radio Controlled Car Soldering and I am going to do this with my 8yr old son.

The best part about this was when I had to trouble shot it, basically I had to recheck my soldering and make sure I had not made any bridges on the IC's.

Very Rewarding!!!!!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend it.

I am so ready to do many many more Elenco Kits!

Anyone contemplating working with SMT components needs to buy this kit first!!! They are hard to work with and you will need some practice. This kit is a perfect trainer. Get yourself a magnifying glass too. Very nice product.

Best Deals for Elenco Surface Mount Technology Kit

I did this as my second soldering kit, and it was kind of tedious, as I imagined surface mount to be, but very educational and rewarding. I got a new soldering iron with better temp control and finer tips which helped. The practice section can be infuriating (I fried off a few practice pads before I got the hang of it), but assembly of the actual circuit goes pretty quickly. Elenco did a great job with the instructions and information included. The end product is essentially an electronic magic 8-ball, which is way cooler than a wailing siren! (I still recommend Elenco's siren kit for beginners)

This is a good training tool to get some surface mount solderingcexperience. Its even better in explaining how the circuit works and how to troubleshoot it. High grade training in a hands on package.

It wasn't clear to me from the pictures and the other reviews but these letters do have exposed small magnets in the back. So definitely a chocking hazard. The Leap Frog letters are covered so that's an alternative.

I purchased the uppercase set and had to purchase the lowercase magnetic letters too. This set is wonderful and colorful. They are bigger with more magnetics that really stick well to the fridge. My two year loves to move the letters around and knows his alphabet based on these letters. I am very happy with the purchase.

Best Deals for Learning Resources Jumbo Lowercase Magnetic Letters, Set of 40

We bought 2 sets of lower case and one set of upper case letters and love them. We painted a wall with chalkboard paint and added the magnet additive so the letters would stick to the wall. It's been great fun! My 5-year-old uses the letters to practice words she's learning to read at school and to make new words and "write" whole sentences. Then we "write" sentences for her to read -instructions for tasks she's to perform, clues to surprises etc. Even my 18-mos-old twin sons are getting into the act.

Honest reviews on Learning Resources Jumbo Lowercase Magnetic Letters, Set of 40

These letters are large, bright and durable. The only negative is that I did not receive 30 numbers as was described. Instead I received extra stars and operation signs which I don't need.

Reviews of Recycling Learning Center

Customer Ratings:

I received this as a gift and figured it wouldn't be used very much because it seemed so specific. I was quite mistaken. My kids really took to it and enjoy using it. I think it is because they can connect the pictures on the cards to things they see in their homes. For example, they now categorize things in their home using the categories in this set. They might pick up a real newspaper and then put it next to the little paper recycle bin. It's prompted me to get a better recycling center going in our home, so that the kids can recycle things in real life just as they do with this set/game. I'd highly recommend it. Be prepared to make sure the kids can do real recycling in your home, too!

Reviews of Baby Toys: Eric Carle Number Flash Cards

Customer Ratings:

We seem to have acquired a set of Eric Carle Number Flash Cards. I'm not sure where we got the set, but our little boy had his third birthday in early October and that's probably the point of origin. In any case, I use them with him all the time. He now recognizes all the numbers, but has a bit of trouble with the 6 and 9 and with the 7 and 1. He'll get onto it. He can also count out the dots and I suspect, before long, will be able to read the writing. Smart kid! Plus he's gotten used to the animal drawings and can count the numbers of animals. I'm surprised how fast he picked all this up, and he seems to enjoy it as a little game. I'd have to say it's a well designed educational toy.

Cheap NEW Silver 4.5" F/8.8 Astronomy Reflector Telescope

Customer Ratings:

Lets be honest for a moment; This is a cheap telescope.

OK that's over with. Now more reality; You want to get into Astronomy but are on a budget. To build your own 4.5 reflector 'scope (the cheapest way to get one) you would need to buy quite a few components; Focuser, eyepieces, mirror mounts and secondary mirror at least. Those parts would cost $100 alone second hand or on ebay. That means you are left to making your own mirror ($30+ and a lot of work), making the tube, mounts and tripod. After weeks of work tracking down componants and construction where are you? Well if you are a skilled wood worker and have good metal working skills you may have a good 'scope. Or you have issues and are back to the drawing board. Now imagine buying this scope. In 30 minutes you are ready to stargaze. Fast forward, you are really into astronomy now and have discovered some of the short comings of an inexpensive 'scope. Well by now you know several things. You know what the short comings are and what is needed to fix them. You know you're into stargazing and it not a passing fancy. You got to know other stargazers and made "network" contacts. So now you can decide where to go. Buy a more expensive 'scope (2 or 3 times the price). Learn some skills to upgrade this one, get a better mirror, better eyepieces etc. Slowly as your budget allows, you have a fine 4.5 scope. Or you have decided to spend the $400 for a larger (6 inch) 'scope. Bottom line is if you don't have a lot of cash or want to make sure your interest is worth the expense this is the way to go. Scopewise gave me great communication and very fast shipping. The product was easy to assemble and set up, no tools required. (Though a phillips screwdriver and pliers can be handy for final "tweeks")

Cheap Playskool Explore and Grow Busy Ball Popper Assortment

Customer Ratings:

This is the best toy to give a toddler (1+ years). It is gift I give for those first birthday parties or first Christmases. Every kid loves it, and it often becomes their favorite toy. They don't grow tired of it.

The models of this toy vary some in the coloring of the plastic, the velocity that the balls shoot out the top, the decorations on the side, etc.

But it is always a hit ... and after giving the toy, the parents will invariably come back with "that's his favorite toy" or "she has never grown tired of the ball popper" or "you always give her the best things" ... definitely a hit if you need a standout something for a toddler in your life.
