Wonderworld City Skyline Glow Block Set Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My grandchildren (3-8) love this set which they combine with other city block sets. The buildings are a bit off from actual buildings . E.g. The Empire State Building replica top is very small but no matter they love recognizing the landmarks.

This is a good little firefly lantern, but it is smaller than I expected. Honestly, that's fine. Too many toys are space hogs. This is NOT. :) But the hand in the product image I see must be that of a 2 year old. The lantern is tiny.

We got a couple of these for our girls, and even after a year, they still love playing with them and haven't been able to destroy them! The colors are fun, too!

Honest reviews on LMI Transparent Tambourine with Head Purple 15CM

These are wonderful for young children. We have a half-dozen now and use them for basic music lessons. The kids love to bang and shake them. We purchased our initial tambourines roughly a year ago and they have held up well after daily usage. The plastic pieces, including the clear head, are all very durable. They are sized perfectly for kid's hands, although I can also play on one of them without much difficulties.

I'll definitely buy other instruments from this brand.

The Tambourines were great, they fought over who would get one. I only bought 4 at first. The only problem that I had with them was the age group was too young. I have 2 through 4 year olds. The one 4 year old's tiny fingers went right between the metal and the plastic and the metal is so sharp, that getting the tiny fingers out was a bit trying. Bandaids all around. But, the kids learned quickly that the fingers don't go there. One boy put it on the ground and stomped the plastic center out. This is bad, because then the plastic middle now had sharp edges and the tambourines had to be put away until I could pull off the center plastic. (Needle nose plyers) My advise to the company who makes these tambourines would be: just leave off the center plastic all together. There's no need for it. They wanted to make that part a drum. Keep it simple and get rid of the plastic center immediately on arrival. The product is great, makes great sound and kids love them. Just not under 5.

I bought this guitar for my 14 year old daughter to be able to play and pack around figuring that it was fairly cheap and I would not be worried if it accidently got scratched, damaged, or abused when camping or at the river, etc.

The other reviews told us how the sound was good, but we were both suprised at how well it sounded and played, it is now her favorite guitar. The sound is rich and projects well. There is no problem keeping it in tune (after the initial string stretching) and she has even had to learn to project her voice more when singing, as the guitar is louder than her other one.

Overall we are very happy with this purchase. One thing you may want, if you are a higher level guitar player is diffrent strings, but even the strings that come with it are decent low-end strings that do not lose their tune.

This guitar is more than perfect for a beginner, or even an advanced player who wants something nice to "kick around" with.

Purchased this for my adult daughter and I was surprised at how nice the guitar is. Nice tone and good construction. Came with gig bag, pics, strap, tuner AND an extra set of strings. She was very happy to get a Fender and for the money, I can't complain at all. It came on time and though I was worried UPS would bang it up, it arrived without a scratch. Would recommend it to others starting out learning to play a guitar.

I love it! As a beginner and having a Fender is ideal. I did my research because I noticed some Fenders have thick strings but the FA-100 is perfect. The only thing I didn't like was the gig bag wasn't as padded as I thought. But all in all the guitar sounds perfect, looks great and everything came in on time. I am VERY PLEASED!!!!!!!!!!!

The package arrived unharmed, no issues with shipping damage. The guitar sounds great, but I'm a beginner so what do I know? The guitar I received had two buttons for where the straps would attach, but the strap had only one button hole, the other end was a shoe-string to tie on the neck above the first fret (bridge?). Some people may not like this setup but I don't mind it at all now.

The tuner is really nice; it has a couple modes for different instruments, or a simple chromatic scale mode for non-standard tunings. The picks are a nice touch to the bundle.

I also bought a stand while I had the free shipping available.

Overall a great buy.

Discount Transformers 3 Bumblebee Laptop

Customer Ratings:

This toy is great and so cute. My son puts it on his lap next to his daddy and tells us he is working as he plugs away at the little keyboard. Its educational which is wonderful and is a great aid for us as we are teaching him to read and write. HOWEVER there is no volume control to this toy and its loud. Its like Optimus just woke up, failed to have coffee, got an angry text from Starscream and is now tutoring your child angrily. Its so loud!! As mother, I like toys that have some volume control, first because I have other kids so when nap time occurs, I need quiet play and lastly because I am a mother and sometimes the incessant loud toys make mommy's ears bleed. This toy is really awesome and worth it but its loud. And the screen is really small. It reminds me a little bit of a calculator in a huge briefcase.

Reviews of Community Jingo

Customer Ratings:

Well-conceived game to use with those who are learning English. I like the simple pictures that represent the community location that is named, as well as the clues that can be given so that students have to come up with the word on their own and locate it on the board.

It would have been nice if the cards had been made of a little thicker card stock, or better yet, laminated, and if there had been markers that came with the game. I have to borrow markers from other games to play this.

I have "verb" jingo, also, and it is equally a good teaching tool.

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 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)

Best Pixter Multi-Media System: Purple Deals

Customer Ratings:

I HIGHLY recommend for you to purchase the Pixter. It is wonderful. My husband and I bought this last year for our then 4 year old son. Not only was it his favorite "Christmas Day" toy (and trust me he received about a million other toys that day!) but it has been his most favorite toy all year through. He will pick it up constantly and just start playing it. We definitely always bring it with us shopping and on trips. I found that designating a special backpack for his Pixter, game cartridges, GameBoy and its cartridges works out better than a regular specially made case, but that's just my opionion. We purchased the hard shell case for the Pixter also, and it is very durable, but I have just found the backpack to be more convenient. As for Pixter's durablity, my son has dropped his several times, tosses it on the couch, you name it and the thing still runs as brand new. Batteries last long also. Not only is this a FUN toy, but it's educational as well. My son has gained many, many fun-filled hours from the Pixter. It is one of the best things we have bought for him that has been so well worth the money. He is 5 years old now and continues to have this as one of his all-time favorite toys!! Buy it...you will be VERY happy you did! And so will the child in your life!

Pixters have been keeping our 4 children entertained for years. We bought the original system for our kids when they first came out and have continued to upgrade as Fisher Price has released new systems. My (at the time) 3 year old son got a Color Pixter for his birthday and it never left his hands for the entire year. We decided to purchase the Multimedia Pixters for our 3 year old twins (as we found them on a clearence sale after the holidays). They were such hit with them and our 4 year old and 6 year old children that we went back to buy the remaining clearence MM Pixters for their upcoming birthdays.

The battery life has been surprisingly good and they have survived many drops and crashes. Occasionally we need to recalibrate the screen by using the stylus tool to press the button on the back of the toy. The personalities of our four children range from "laid back and quiet" to "one who rarely sits down" with the others falling somewhere in between, but each of our kids are very entertained by their Pixters for very long periods of time. We highly recommend it!

Best Deals for Pixter Multi-Media System: Purple

We were looking for a substitute of the likes of the Video Now or some the other mindless electronic toys on the X-Mas must-have lists. It isn't much cheaper than those others, but we felt that the options for creativity were greater with the PIXTER.

Like the other systems there are built-in functions: a tetris-like game, a drawing page, word games, dot-to-dot pages, and more. The stylus tool is fairly easy to use and the drawing functions have many stamps, backgrounds and other methods to enhance artwork. The PIXTER will save selected works, also there are many accessories to extend PIXTER interest, additional cartridges some with licensed products like Sponge-Bob, Barbie, Walking with Dinosaurs, Teen Titans, each allowing real-time clips and editing of TV scenes ($20 each). One of the most interesting accessories is the digital camera for even more personalized creative play.

My 8 and 5 year old were hooked by the PIXTER. The only problem is the batteries, some systems come with chargers or AC ports, the PIXTER DOES NOT. We bought rechargable AAs for the toy.

Honest reviews on Pixter Multi-Media System: Purple

I bought this for my daughter's sixth birthday. They reel you in with the game selections, however, the games are ridiculous. You can't really do anything other than draw on the screen. The icons are confusing. I would not recommend this item to anybody. Don't even THINK about trying the digital camera you can buy as an accessory for $40. The pictures are terribly unclear and fuzzy. I say put your money into a Gameboy or Leap pad. This is a terribly outdated toy and not worth $5.00.

We bought the Color Pixter for our daughter for her 3rd Birthday! (After we would spend hours using the demo one in the store) Her older cousin finally broke that one (throwing it on the ground a few times too many.. boys :-( So we bought her the new Multi-Media one for Christmas. She is now 5, and it is still her favorite! While the base system does not have many educational games on it, there are a lot of educational ones you can get, and the games are a lot cheaper than the Leapster cartridges! (Just do NOT get the digital camera!!!!!!!! it doesnt work at all with Multi-Media, and didnt work well at all with the color system!!!!) All the other games have been great so far! Better than DVD player in the car! Best thing ever for plane rides! I would not trade this in for any other toy!

Honest reviews on Chalkboard Cleaning Cloth; 15" x 36"; no. BHICC1548

As a teacher, my worst fear is to have a chalkboard that you cannot write on. When you use water to clean a board, it absorbs the water and distorts it after awhile. After you erase the chalk, it leaves dust everywhere. Swiping it with this takes that all away and makes it nice and dark again. It won't restore an old board, but it cleans and keeps the board like new.

LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Video: The Letter Factory Gaming Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought this after reading the reviews a little curious if my 3 year old would love it or not care. Well she loves it more than I would have thought possible for a video/game. I was very impressed that within a week she had her letters learned extremely well. She loves to sing the whole song to me and show me how well she knows the sounds of the whole alphabet. The thing that works so well with this product is that instead of teaching a is for apple and so forth they teach the sounds the letters make, and in a way the kids LOVE. Like with a the a is scared and says AAAH, R is an R race car that say the r sound, and with f the f's are learning to fly but have to say fffff to get off the ground. They connect actions with the sounds. It's brilliant and it works. The songs are cute, and its never boring that they watch and learn/play for a long time. They also reinforce by games after every 4 letters. This helps them to check if they are really learning.

I worried about someone's review that sad it would go through batteries like crazy. Totally not true. My kids play the letter factory and other games constantly on the thing and it usually lasts a least 2 weeks. Just put good batteries in it and its amazing.

I truly believe that they should receive numerous accolades from the educational community for this one. First we bought the DVD version and my son watched it multiple times a day, with great excitement. Afterwards he still watches it a few times a week and its been 3 months! After watching it just a few times he has all his phonics learned very well, and he just turned 3. Its a very entertaining video as well, with many humorous parts that keep his attention. When the Leapster cartridge came out we snapped it up just so he could watch it on the go. Also its nice using his Leapster, its sort of an inexpensive alternative to a portable DVD player for a child. We've also bought the talking words factory (DVD) which is just as fantastic, and are eagerly awaiting the "Math Factory" coming soon!! LeapFrog surely has found the magic formula for making learning fun.

My four year old daughter had the DVD for the Letter Factory and was thrilled at the idea that she could take it in the car for her Leapster. I thought she'd bore of it easily with all the repitition but she plays it endlessly. Between the two, in two weeks time she knew all of her letter sounds without hesitation. She is now learning to read and it is so much easier to teach her when we never have to review phonics. Even her older brother who is 8 has picked up on the catchy jingles for the letter sounds (and he already knew his phonics!!). Although she is now a master of letter sounds, she still enjoys watching this cartridge. This is very entertaining, extremely educational and for parents who don't want to push--it's a godsend!!

My son has been in speach therapy for 1 1/2 years. He did not start talking till he was 2 1/2. Now a 4 year old, he is as stubborn as I am and wouldn't sing the alphabet song with me, nothing I did could encourage him to learn his letters or his numbers. I stumbled onto this at our base exchange and he loved it. I would let him play with the sample one when we came into the store. I brought my husband to show him how interested he was in the system. So we made the investment. I am amazed. He got this from Santa for Christmas and by the beginning of February, he knew all his letters of the alphabet and what sounds they make! He learned the proper way to make the L sound (hard for him)and when I correct him he starts singing the leapster song. He loves this game. I have since (March) purchased the Word factory and he is trying to READ!! He loves the "sticky letters" concept. I can't believe how well these games are made as to hold the attention of a very busy 4 year old! Who is no longer in speach therapy :)
