I ordered this for my 5 year old daughter who is into making "potions" and we had a great time doing them. Instructions are very good, point by point on how to do perform each experiment and how to get the most out of what the child observes. With a 5 year old, you really have to be there to help but I can also see how this would be great for an older "scientist" too. Great purchase!

Discount Science Kit - Junior Genius Blast of Color Lab - Over 15 Different
Lab in a bag blast of color was a good experience for my Grand-daughters ages 5 and 7. We did the many experiments and enjoyed seeing the changes in colors and the growth of little beads. We even made a form of snow! They loved it however an adult does need to be right there with children to do the experiments properly. The directions should be read ahead of time to make the process go faster as they are lengthy. The end result; it was a great memory maker for spending time together. All products are safe for the kids but there are some cautions on pouring some liquids down the drain as they could cause some problems so do read the directions.

Playgro Elephant Shape Sorter Review
I bought a similar toy when I had my first baby 10 years ago and always wanted something soft attached to it for different uses. I'm happy that Playgro thought about that. I love this brand too much. This is a very good toy! The pieces are just the right size and primary bright colors. I really recommend it. I'm a happy aunt thrilled to buy all these toys again.
I love the vivid colors! The pieces that fit into the elephant are perfect size without causing a concern that
they are too small for young toddlers or too big for little hands to grasp. Great toy and well worth the price, which is reasonable.

I bought 2 of these for friends' children for christmas... We had a blast together making the icky gooey things. However, the kids also really enjoyed the instruction/informational booklet expaining what everything is. By the end, even the adults were sitting around playing with yuck and learning about the things we were making. For such a low price, this kit was definitely worth it, and it comes with enough to make the gross items again and again.

I got this for my 7 year old grandson for Christmas and the first day he wanted to do an experiment. He loves this I keep it at my house and we do one when he comes to visit me. It is fun for both of us.Best Deals for Be Amazing Yuck
My son has had tons of fun playing with this "science" kit. However, I'm not sure he has actually *learned* anything about science. He made fake snot and gooey crystals and religiously changed the water in his bucket out daily to make the body parts grow larger, so the entertainment factor is definitely there. But teaching material it is not.Honest reviews on Be Amazing Yuck

Best Fisher-Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School Software Wonder Pets Deals
My 3 yr daughter like the disk although she became bored of it after a while. My complaint with the disk is that all of the disks are the same as the original minus new characters introducing the subjects. The drawing area doesn't have enough character stamps.

My six yr old granddaughter got the computer keyboard for the COMPUTER COOL SCHOOL last Christmas with a couple of play disks. She had really enjoyed playing with it so I decided to purchase this disk for her birthday. She loves it. I don't think she has onpened any of her other COOL SCHOOL disks since she received it. The disk is very durable and comes in its own plastic case. The WonderPets are so lifelike and the sounds so real that I don't mind watching (I'd like to play.) Her 4 yr old brother is mesmerized by it as well; good thing she's willing to share!Best Deals for Fisher-Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School Software Wonder Pets
I love the Cool School learning Wonder pets. The system is so user friendly for the age of the children it is designed for. Grandma doesn't have to sit right beside and help. The grand kids age 3 and up can work the key board and find plenty of entertainment with all the different lessons. Great educational and fun way to learn.Honest reviews on Fisher-Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School Software Wonder Pets
This is one of several cd's I purchased for the very user friendly child's computer keyboard. This and the related cd's are all educationally outstanding in addition to being very entertaining.

This game is a GREAT way to get your child to do something that is not only entertaining, but educational as well. Not to mention, it'll give you some free time to cook, clean, or do whatever needs to be done while your child is busy learning new things and occupying his/her time by "exploring" with the Wonder Pets!! The wonder Pets have been my son's favorite characters since he was just a baby, and he's got every Wonder Pets toy known to man, so it was good to give him something for his birthday that teaches him new things, and that he's REALLY excited to play! He's always asking, "Mommy, can I pleeeeaaaase play with the Wonder Pets on my Computer Cool School?!?! Pleeeeaaase?!?!" Lol!! It's a great game that allows your child to be creative, while learning all kinds of new things (and getting refresher courses on things he/she already knows). I would recommend this game, along with the Computer Cool School, to ANYONE with a young child!! :-)Happy Parent -

I gave this to my great nephew on his 2nd birthday (he had also received many other nice toys). He couldn't wait to remove the cellophane wrapper and try out all the pieces, at which time his 4-yr-old brother thought it was pretty cool and immediately tried to claim it!! Well made, all solid wood.Best Deals for Melissa & Doug Animal Rescue Shape-Sorting Truck

Love that this is a wooden toy. Get tired of the heaps of plastic in the toy bin. My son is 13mos old and doesn't understand the puzzle exactly yet but he can load and unload the animals as he pleases. He also has figured out how to get the animals to fit in the driver seats and loads Melissa and Doug up in the back. Overall I really like it a lot. We will be playing with this one for a long time.Monday, September 22, 2014
Best VTech Counting Time Measuring Tape Deals
This is a fun toy for my 2 yr old. It sings silly counting songs and he likes that it pulls out and retracts. My only complaint other than how annoying it gets to hear the songs for the 5 millionth time is that you have to hear them at an extremely loud volume. Lots of electronic baby/toddler toys are way too loud. If you put some electrical tape over the speaker, then it's less punishing for the parents and safer for your child's hearing. I wouldn't say it's the coolest counting toy ever, but my son loves the songs it plays.
I bought this item for my nephew for Christmas. He loved it at first glance. The lights, music and the fact that he could pull the tape measure and see the numbers. The only negative that I have is that the tape only goes to the number "8," while the song on the unit counts to the number 10. That was very disappointing from a teaching perspective.
Updated: this toy broke after just a few short months of very light use. Would not recommend it.

Myt son is almost three, and he had an obsession with stretching out the tape measurer across things. He would get really upset if anyone moved it. He broke it of course! But, to prevent more tape measurers getting destroyed (he always gets me to give him this stuff, he is SO cute!), I got him this. It worked: He stretched it out and tried to hang it over something, like before! Only thing is this is not very long, which makes it safer for a child of course, no strangulation hazard. So it is safe, and fun enough. Its burried right now though in other toys. If I pull it out, he will use it though I am sure. It is loud though, get ready! All these toys are. Its nice for him thogh,.Honest reviews on VTech Counting Time Measuring Tape

Grandma's Trunk Alphabet Game Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $15.99
Sale Price: $11.38
Today's Bonus: 29% Off

Grandma's Trunk Alphabet Game is a very simple game that allows parents and kids to be creative and have fun. The trunk comes with 26 letter cards with a letter and image on them. There is also a set of Grandma's Riddles cards that ask simple "Who" type questions for kids to answer. There are five suggested games you can play all of which are geared towards helping kids with their letters. You can play with one child or a whole classroom! Have kids name the objects, sound out the letters, and put them in order of the alphabet. The cards are durable cardboard and wonderfully illustrated and kid-friendly. Its funny how something so simple can be so cute and fun.
There are a couple ways to play and you could even come up with your own rules and ideas. My children have enjoyed it thus far (3 and 4). I could see that after playing for awhile it might get too easy...which is why I suggest throwing in your own ideas!

Best Learning Resources Radius Audio Learning System (LER6910) Deals
As a teacher, I have to say that I LOVE my Radius. I recently purchased one on Ebay and the set included the Radius system, the Blends and Diagraph cd card set, and the Long Vowel cd card set...all for $150! This to me is a must have in any classroom. The features that I love are 1.) You can use the Radius as a standard cd player as well 2.) The cards a sturdy and durable and in any event if one of the cards became damaged, you can still us the Radius to locate the card 3.) It comes in this really nice carrying case to prevent damage 4.) The cd sets are made for different grade levels 5.) It's very simple for children to use 6.) In each card set there are teacher notes that explain varies ways of presenting the skill to the students 7.) In each set there is an answer key...so you can follow along with students and assess their answers 8.) It's a great informal testing tool 9.) It's great for small group instruction, independent practice and centers 10.) All the cards in any set you purchase are numbered in order and the key lets you know the answers and what words the students will learn on each card 11.) There are review cards after all of the lessons 12.) You can use up to four headphones or use speakers 13.) The look, listen, write and speak cards have the students to look at the words, listen to how the words are pronounced and sound (phonics), write the words on paper, and my favorite is the speak/record feature. This allows students to record how they sound when pronouncing words 14.) You can buy sets that fit your classroom needs
I was quite surprised when I opened the box, I thought it was going to be a small device, but it is large with easy to see functions...overall, I think that this is one of my best educational purchases I've purchased in awhile. The students love it and it's hands-on which makes it more enjoyable. The Radius and cd card sets are pricey but your money will be well spent!
One more thing...this is listed as a toy, it's not, it's an educational resource tool for teachers or parentsel metodo me parecio muy bueno, pero el cd se traba, no lee siempre las tarjetas, aveces se reinicia solo, por lo que lo regrese una vez y pedi que me lo cambiaran por otro, y efectivamente me enviaron otro, pero ya paso el mes para poderlo devolver, y tengo los mismos problemas que con el primero, se traba, se reinicia, no lee siempre las tarjetas correctamente, etc. No vale la pena compralo por el precio y el mal funcionamiento, realmente yo crei que por lo que estaba pagando iba obtener un mucho mejor producto. NO LO RECOMIENDO.

Cheap Solar Flare Dual Parabolic Solar Cooking System
Bread, chile, rice, soup, even brownies cooked by the sun? Easy, affordable and the food is delicious. I am impressed with how easy this solar cooker is to use. We used to cook with a bulky box cooker but I have enjoyed how much more versatile the Solar Zenith is. It also cooks the food much faster. Dinner in the box cooker used to take all day to be ready to eat. I also like the idea of being able to can and make any water clean and pure to drink by using this cooker. I am planning on giving all my children at least one for their homes to use in emergencies. My campers will enjoy it on the trail too. It is so easy, maybe they will use it everyday just to save on energy costs. I highly recommend the Solar Zenith not only for emergency cooking and peace of mind, but for just plain fun cooking with the sun.This cooker works but does not cook as fast as I think it should, parabolic cookers should cook faster, like chicken fryer fast. It should have better instructions with it, was not sure which way to face the cone in relation to the sun. I cooked green beans and potatoes, they were very tender.

Review of Thermos Superman Dual Compartment with Cape
My son LOVES this lunch box! The cape is really cute. He has been taking it to school every day for 2 1/2 months and it still looks great!Any thing that makes your child want to go to school is a positive force. This lunch kit is the cutest thing I have ever seen and our grandson is crazy about it. He can't wait to show it off to all his school mates. This lunch kit is well constructed and super cute, the cape just puts it over the top. Your kiddo well just love it and probably take it to bed with them like ours did.
