Cheap Pyle-Pro PGEKT30 Professional Full Size Electric 6 String Guitar
I was looking for an cheaper starter guitar and found a gr8 one with this product. The guitar shipped fast and arrived in good condition from Quality Audio.This guitar is more then just a starter kit it is a good quality guitar whats worth I would say $350
The guitar has good pickups . It is a well designed, and i love the colors on it. I would recommend this guitar to anyone looking for an good value guitar for a good price.
the kit came with a cd instruction as well
All the things that come with it are also really quality madethe gig bag is awesome with a good zippermade to last and take a beating. The amp totally surpasses my expectations of volume and balanced sound.
With how good it sounds, looks, costs, and all the equipment it comes with, I can't say anything bad about this "start playing the guitar NOW" kit. I am absolutely satisfied and would recommend this to anyone looking for a good sounding, good playing guitar without paying the big price tags.
Guitar. Has a very nice finish look it looks like the fender Telecaster look it's from the most legendary guitars it has a very easy touch to learn how to make bars with it. The Guitar also has very good feedbacks and great pickups. What I also love about this guitar is the whammy bar to make the different sounds. The wood looks like high quality wood and rosewood down the frets. The frets are a little ruff but I would say every new guitar is like that I used a sander to sand it down a little to make it smooth what very easy to do.
Picks. The Guitar comes with standard pick medium level what's normal
Guitar Amp. The Guitar amp the unit comes with is a number 1 guitar amp and works great with the guitar it has a Bass Treble control and it also has overdrive effect
Bag. The bag the Guitar comes with is very simple nothing to great but all kits comes with this kind of Bag
Tuner. The tuner is very easy to use it has a small mic and when you make the sound on the guitar lets say E it will light up on the tuner a red light on the E and a Green light on the top to know that it is exact
Overall I would recommend this guitar Kit
Me and my buddy made this vid gotta give the guitar strings more time to stretch, it sounds a little out of tune here but, it's got a smooth neck, solid body, a loud little amp and a bunch of extras for cheap. Dig it.

I am completely blown away by how nice this guitar and set up is for such a low cost. First, it looks great, nice sunburst finish on it, the wood is beautiful, and the neck is really smooth. The strings are NOT too high off the frets which, if they are, if you've ever played, you'll know that it's really uncomfortable to play and change between chords. So, it plays nice and smooth.All the things that come with it are also really quality madethe gig bag is awesome with a good zippermade to last and take a beating.

Review of Grimm's Animal ABC Alphabet Cards - Waldorf Watercolor Artistic
Bought these to use as an alphabet/phoneme teaching tool for my preschool aged children.
Pros: The beautiful illustations/watercolored effect and print have already inspired my kids to "play" with their letters. Though pretty, the illustrations are simple enough that I could see using these as a segway to a drawing project. Both upper and lowercase letters are large enough for a child to trace with his/her finger to reinforce proper letter-writing. This is one of the only card sets I found to have lowercase "a" written as children are taught in school (circle around, pull down...). Illustration for Xx is fox, which follows phonics teaching.
Cons: I was surprised to see that illustations for Gg, Ii, and Uu on these cards do not follow the common phonetic sounds. G pictures a giraffe instead of hard /g/ as in gorilla; I features Ibex rather than soft /i/ as in iguana; U features unicorn rather than soft /u/ as in umbrella. One other strange thing was that the extra letter cards in the set were A, E, I, O, and T. Thought we were getting an extra set of vowels, but the T threw us off.
Durability: Study laminated cards, card stock/playing card thickness. Seems like they will hold up well to general handling, but might be damaged with any rough handling or moisture.
Overall, excited to have a beautiful teaching tool for practicing letters names and sounds, though we may have to draw additional cards for the more common G, I & U sounds.

Magnetic Learning Letters - Lowercase Reviews
List Price: $22.99
Sale Price: $17.64
Today's Bonus: 23% Off
After owning this set for about 2 years I'm buying it again, not because the letters are worn but because my kids want to make even more words with them. My kids are starting to form sentences, and even though there are ample quantities of each letter (4 I think), they need more letters because they are getting older and are able to form more complex words and sentences.
I found that these letters are extremely durable, except when the puppy or a teething baby got ahold of them, and then the foam part of the letter would become mangled but the magnet would stay mostly intact. However, I felt much safer with these letters around young children, babies, and dogs, than other sets, because the magnet is the entire size of the letter and is attached very well, so it has never come off and created a choking risk. Since magnets are particularly dangerous for children or babies to swallow, and the magnets would sometimes fall off our other letter set, which was made out of cheap, plastic letter-magnets, I threw that set away and only use these.
I also appreciate that all the letters are the same color, except for the vowels and consonants being different colors, because young children who are just learning their letters have a hard enough time keeping them straight without confusing them by making the letters all different colors. I can't figure out why so many children's toys are multi-colored, because I find it distracting.
Thank you for designing these!

I ordered these for my son to practice spelling words. They work great and are just what I expected. I like that the vowels are red and the consonants are blue.Best Deals for Magnetic Learning Letters - Lowercase
Our son learned his upper case letters with a set we had from a thirft store but we soon found out we needed lower case letters too. This set sticks well because the magnet is the entire back of the letter. Our son is 2 years, 4 months and is doing great with them. We like that there are four of each letter so we can spell his name and other simple words.Sunday, November 2, 2014
Cheap Bellapista DC
We got the Bellapista for our son this past Christmas when he was 17 months. I love that it teaches him basic physics and cause-and-effect, and it's interactive on many different sensory levels (but the sights and sounds are not overwhelming or annoying like so many battery-operated or plastic toys). My son has played with this toy every day since Christmas (four months now), and even I enjoy watching the little wheel completing its course, spinning other shapes and ringing bells. He has seen/tried the Haba Track n' Roll but did not seem interested in it. In fact, he seemed outright bored. Plus, it was very heavy and took up a lot of space. The Bellapista is lighter weight, so he can carry it around the house, and it's easier to store too. Very happy with this purchase!
Our toddler has been playing with this toy daily every since he was 12 months old, and this toy still keeps him entertained. However, he is a big chewer and has worn off some of the beautiful paint on the wheels. It's still a very sturdy yet lightweight wooden toy which should last until the tot has his own kids and maybe longer.
Like most Selecta products, the Bellapista is expensive but well worth it. It's the old quantity vs. quality issue, and we choose fewer toys of high quality.

We purchased the Bellapista track toy on sale for almost $30-. The track can be played in multiple ways, and there will always be whirling wheels, dinging bells, which are not too loud and much nicer than the harsh tones of the flashing, electronic toys. I am a huge fan of Selecta Spielzeug products-gorgeous, high-quality, wooden toys made in Germany. Selecta must have some of the best toy designers in the world working for them because you can see that they pay attention to every detail. e.g., the top round opening on the track is where you put in the rolling wheels to start down the track, and the same site serves as a handle for carrying the toy.Our toddler has been playing with this toy daily every since he was 12 months old, and this toy still keeps him entertained.

Best Sing & Discover Piano Deals
I bought this toy for my friends daughters first birthday and it was at our house for about a week before we gave it to her. In that time my 3 month old daughter fell in love with it as well.
This is a great piano with a lot of different things to explore and play with. There are 5 keys which have a different color, animal and musical instrument represented by each key. It has a drum and sound effects joy stick as well as a karaoke microphone! There is a little dog that moves back in forth to time with the music who is "the leader" of the band.
There are different modes of play with this piano as well. When one mode is chosen you play the keys as its a piano. Another mode allows the name of the color of the key to be said as well as the animal and the type of sound the animal makes. Then another mode plays the style of music represented by the instrument on the key. You have classical, jazz, country and an island type jamaican tune with a few others. The drum counts each pat you make or just acts as a drum. And the sound effects joy stick and karaoke microphone are just too much fun!
My friend said her daughter loves to play with the microphone to sing.
There are lots of lights on here to interest a younger baby. My daughter just loved to listen to the music and watch the lights. I think they should change the reccomended age on this toy to a younger age. Even if your baby cant sit up on her own you can hold this toy with her on your lap and they will like to explore it and look at it. As they get older they will get more interactive.
A fabulous toy at a great price. And the music sounds good too which is a plus!
Counting/Colors/Animals Mode: tap the drum and hear the beats being counted. Press the keys for the color and/or animal name featured on the key and a short tune in the instrument featured on the key.
Listen Mode: each key starts a new classic or nursery song; add animal noises by pressing the keys, drum beats by tapping the drum, puppy noise by pressing pumpy's head, and 4 other funny noises by moving the joy-stick. Swirl the joy-stick to speed up the music and hold it down to slow the music. Sing along using the real microphone.
Play Mode: make your own music using the keys, drum, and joy-stick.
Practicallity: uses easy to find, always on hand AA batteries. Features auto shut-off after inactivity to preserve battery life, but can be switched off to prevent accidental activation, etc. 2 volumes (I think the lowest is loud enough, and could be just a bit quieter, but still, I haven't gotten annoyed yet because of all the variety.)
Bottom Line: This is the most action-packed electronic toy out there and at a very good price too. It is the only one of its kind that you will need, and you do need it.

I purchased this toy for daughter in the exchange of one gift toy. My daughter couldn't stop playing it in the store. So I had to buy it. She enjoys it everyday. She dances on the music. If the music stops, she plays one more key and again the new music starts. Drum is a very good idea. She plays that too. I'm sue she will start counting with that soon. I would recommend this toy to anyone who loves music. This is 100% worth the money. And better than other so called piano's that kids just hit for some time and then get bored because it doesn't play any music by itself.Honest reviews on Sing & Discover Piano

My daughter, who is 22 months, still loves this toy that we got for her 1st birthday. It drives me nuts though. She pulled on the microphone some and after a while it got so staticky that you could barely hear the music! I exchanged it for another (would have returned it, but didn't keep the receipt) but the same thing happened with the second one. She doesn't even pull the microphone anymore, but it's still a static nightmare. I can hear her bringing it down the hall crackle, crackle, craaaaackle, craaaaaack! This would be a great toy without the mic. Would not buy this again.Saturday, October 4, 2014

He started off using the numbers on the twist as a slide guide but is now doing it from memory. If your kid loves Nintendo and Game Boys, this TOY will keep them interested. Love the headphone jack. I'll repeat...AWESOME!!Best Deals for Leap Frog TURBO TWIST MATH
One of the previous reviews complained "The skill level can only be adjusted for the Learn It mode". It sound much like the 'Twist and Shout Math products' instead of the Turbo Twist Math! (both made by Lead Frog) I had originally received the Twist and Shout product at Christmas for my children and found them completely a waste of money. However, the Turbo Twist Math is absolutely FANTASTIC!! With the ability to upgrade at your child's level on-line is a fantastic feature. I would highly recommend this 'TOY' as my children have not put them down since Christmas. We have the Spelling and Math. They can take them both in the car, use their headphones and learn, learn, learn. They think it's fun. If in deed you have the Twist and Shout, I HIGHLY recommend exchanging it for the Turbo Twist Math.

I bought this for my child to help her with her math facts better. I am pretty disappointed (I should have listened to my husband!) Flash cards would be just as effective and a lot less expensive. It is cumbersome to use and is not fast, even I can only answer 11 facts in 90 seconds (and it is not because I don't know them). I thought it would have be fast and have a snappy beat (along the lines of the Bop It Game. I was wrong on both accounts. It lost its appeal after about 1 hour.Monday, September 29, 2014

Other than that, they had a blast getting soaked by the geysers.Honest reviews on Steve Spanglers Geyser Tube
Overall, we enjoyed the Geyser Tube. The soda shot pretty high up into the air! We had fun setting it off during two separate parties (outside, in our patio). The biggest problem was that soda still escaped out the sides from the tube (instead of all of the soda going straight up through the top), even though we tried to pull the pin out fast so the guard could come down over the holes. We ran the experiment 4 times (we had extra Mentos around for the party) and it was a crowd-pleaser (we have some away as party prizes) but each time we still had a problem with soda coming out the sides.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Steve Spanglers Geyser Tube
This is a must have tube for the Diet Coke, Mentos experiment. No guess work it gives you the right load without a mess. It is a great buy and save money, buy the Fizz Factor Book along with the Geyser Tube. Loads of fun for the young and old.
