Good educational value but the "fun" quotient only lasts for so long. Then it's time to put them away till they are "new" again and get them out and let them explore all over again. :) Still recommend them for helping to learn about colors and how to blend colors to make things like orange, green, purple... Different ages will get a different learning value from them so they have longevity. My kids are 5.5 and 2.5 yrs old.

Buy Large Mummy Excavation Kit

Large Mummy Excavation Kit
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

We have purchased several of these Dinosaur fossil dig kits in the past few years for our 7 year old daughter. She was given one for Christmas 2009 and her interest in Dinosaurs went through the roof. She has seen every movie or cartoon that has featured a dinosaur in it ever since then. We have probably purchased 10 or more of these kits here because our daughter loves them so much and we have even used these items as "rewards". Instead of a treat of some kind, break out a new fossil dig kit and instant excitement!

Great for tuning fine motor skills. This is not a toy that your child is going too put down immediately (if they like it). It is time consuming and can be quite a mess with all of the dust and rocks being chipped away but definitely worth the amount of money (and then some)as well as the time you spend on these. Different types and species are available so there is a pretty good selection out there for this type of product. As I said, our daughter was 5 when she got her 1st one and once she started chipping away at it and saw some progress, she never slowed down. She loves everything about dinosaurs and actually being able to dig these fossils out on her own, she has now declared that she is going to be a Paleontologist, Artist, Nurse! All at the same time!

Again, other than the messy dust, this is a great product. Of course without the dust and dirt, this could not possibly even exist. When she is inside at the table chipping away, I put newspaper down and a cookie sheet on top of the paper and then she can just go to town! Cleans up easily enough too! Great price for a very cool item!

I have been really pleased with this charts, they definitely allow you enough room for multiple "chores/behaviors." I only wish they came with sufficient stickers and had a category for behaviors specifically. My son has ADD and his behavior has improved significantly using this chart, when I stick with it (too bad there isn't a section for mom :) )

Tin Music Boxes Toy
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I am giving a baby shower with a retro theme and have purchased different toys for decor (& cannot rate how much frun, durable, etc). These music boxes are very cute and the colors vibrant; I'm very happy with the music box itself. What I was displeased with is the way they are marketed with "Tin Music BoxeS (plural) Toy" & received only one when the picture shows three boxes and plural for boxes. Had I realized they were not sold in sets of three, I would not have purchased one for the price.

I love music boxes and appreciate retro-style so I got one of these and love it! It's got an older design, kind of like music boxes or pop-up toys from past decades. I'd recommend this for anyone who's nostalgic or just for music box lovers.

Best LeapFrog Lettersaurus Deals

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

You can program the toy to say "That's the first letter of your name!" when they click on the corresponding letter. Cute!

Here are the instructions from the website to personalize the toy:

1. Turn off the toy

2. Hold down the "L" and "M" buttons simultaneously while turning the toy back on.

3. Follow the audio to enter the first letter of your child's name.

My son received Lettersaurus as a gift many months ago. He loves the toy now as much as he did when he first opened it. He certainly has his favorite songs but, generally, he tends to listen to nearly every song available (of which there are 27). What is most remarkable is that he continues to return to this toy time and time again. I must say that I am a bit puzzled by some of the critical comments. Surely, touching the top if the head does invoke the ABC song. I assume this is by design since the Lettersaurus's crown is a button, and, yes, pressing it does invoke content. As for the "Exit" for X comment, perhaps this parent isn't familiar with the teaching of phonics. Exit is one of several words that precisely express the sound of the letter X. A cursory search of your friendly internet would make this clear if you hadn't already learned this on your own. I guess you can teach the children but who is going to teach the parents?

In any event, I see no decline in my son's interest in this toy and consider it one of the staples of his (considerable) collection of learning toys.

This is a great toy that will engage and entertain your kid, while teaching phonics the RIGHT way.. my son stays engaged with it and like to play and listen to all the sounds and songs. There is a LOT in this toy, once you get it out of the box lots to explore, lots of education, lots of fun... I highly recommend it if you're looking for something with great educational content for your kids!

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Lettersaurus

This toy is pretty great. My son loves it although it's not his favorite toy. I was reading reviews on amazon as well as the Leap Frog website and had to write a review addressing everyone complaining about the X saying "exit." As a kindergarten teacher in CA, I have to say, THAT is how you teach phonics. They are teaching the letter sound, not letter recognition! If it were to say, "Xylophone" it would be incorrectly teaching the child that X says the "Z" sound. Talk about confusing! They could have used X ray, but the choice of "Exit" for X is not incorrect. In fact, our reading curriculum uses "Exit" to teach the kids the X sound. We sing it every morning! Anyway, if I had any complaints at all, it would be the small letter and button size and the "U" sound added to certain sounds... For example L says, "LLL" not "LU." Although as a parent, I just correct the 2-3 letters that add the "U" sound when my son hits that button. Not a big deal at all! In fact, I always tell my students, "you don't say, "Lu-ove!" :) This toy is fun!

Cheap Selenite Towers

Selenite Towers
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
It is a selenite tower and probably gave the dimensions. It came, however, much smaller than I was expecting and it is shedding from where it was cut into tower form. It's really kind of cheap and not worth the price. My local crystal store has larger selenite bars, wands, towers, etc. for much cheaper and they don't shed flakes of the selenite. It's like white sawdust is continuously falling from it. Since you can't clean these in water, that proposes a frustration and mess that is not easily fixed. It's pretty and I believe it to be selenite, but the quality is not fabulous by any stretch.

Our 1 1/2 year old daughter received this toy as a gift. Upon opening it and sorting out the different pieces, we realized that the triangle space in the puzzle base was sideways from how it should have been, making it impossible to line up the long connecting piece with its corresponding shape. I emailed Plan and explained, asking if they might have a spare base. I received a friendly affirmative reply within hours, and within a few more days a new base showed up in our mailbox! We already thought Plan Toys were awesome this just proved it again!

The toy itself is wonderful. Basic shapes in primary colors fit into corresponding spots in the base. Each has a matching surround piece, and then there are 2 larger secondary color pieces to connect 2 sets of shapes, and corresponding with their primary colors. (e.g. yellow shape & blue shape connected by green bar, red shape & yellow shape connected by orange bar)

We love the sturdy and charming simplicity of this toy. It's engaging without being flashy or doing all of the thinking for a child. We appreciate that it's made of natural materials and that the colors are non-toxic. We are truly glad to have it and will keep it in mind as an idea for a future gift idea for other little ones.

I got this because the came EATS batteries with out care, I had avoided ordering it for mths until I just had no choice.

1. It is really long which was a welcomed surprise since I didn't want her to feel that she was attached to the wall. Downside is that it is so long that monitoring children constantly becomes important!

2. It is not a charger it is an adapter, which means there is no choice but to leave it plugged in to operate it without batteries, having my 4 yr old sitting next to a wall plug and wanting to plug and unplug her self is a bit scary.

3. SAVES you money on batteries

If you have the safety concerns that I have I recommend you purchase the rechargeable battery pack instead of this. If your child is older then this will be very useful.

if you have an innotab 2 you'll need an adaptor as it eats batteries for breakfast. One weekend we went through 30 AA's (we have 3 innotabs and the kids watch a lot of videos/movies). I was going to buy non brand adaptors and change over the plug but those were about six or seven dollars and for ten you can have the vtech branded adaptor and not have to try to mess around with changing the male part of the non branded it was worth it, the kids can play for hours and not ask for more batteries.
