American Educational Fossil Premium Geology Collection Activity Review

Customer Ratings:

I liked this product in so many ways. It was a gift, but I discovered that the dinosaur claw was a casting and it was chipped to boot. Everything else is real; so this gets 4 stars. The 5th start was not given because the casted claw was not mentioned and I only found that out after it was given as a gift.

Still this is a nice set of specimens especially for fossil hunters and dinosaur enthusiasts.

I bought this item for my 5 year old kindergartener. It wasn't what I expected. The cards are pretty durable however the letters are styrofoam and could be easily destroyed. I was expecting the letters to be made out of plastic for more durability.

I like that they are ALL the same colors. The letters look much better than any of the magnetic letter sets I have purchased in past years. They have no odor. The word cards that come with this set are fun to use....there arent many even though they are double sided. Unless you have a huge classroom to display the drawlike box it comes in, the box is too big to have around and a waste of paper to toss. I would like to see packaging be minimized for this.

I was pleased the letter pieces are very thick. The drawers and cards seem to be holding up well also, so far. If younger children are around, the entire box needs to be out of their reach. It's just a cardboard box, so little ones trying to sit on it will destroy it. And the cards would definitely be bent. But for my five year old, we love this set to reinforce sounds learned at school. There are a lot of cards too, so you can chose the ones your child is ready for. There are plenty of letters too, so I can also create words directly from my daughter's school work. Great product.

Reviews of One Hexbug Nano Glow-in-the-Dark Micro-Robotic Creature (colors may

Customer Ratings:

I have several of the HexBug Nanos, and I have a great time playing with them. They really do resemble tiny, fast moving bugs that race around their habitat. The problem is that the product description for this toy says, "Hexbugs are designed with two touch-sensitive antennae that sense obstacles and direct them to reverse and change direction on their six articulated legs. They re even sound-sensitive! Clap your hand, slap the table or make some other loud noise and your Hexbug will stop and change direction." While that is true of some of the larger HexBugs, it is NOT true of the Nano. The Nano has no antennae, and does not respond to touch or sound. You cannot control where it will go. It can't stop or back up. The Nano has 12 rubber, non-articulated legs which are curved so that the vibrations its body makes produce rapid, forward movement. It has a wedge-shaped head which will cause it to turn slightly when it meets with an obstacle, keeping it from getting stuck against things. The result is a very life-like movement, similar to that of a beetle or a very small hamster. This may not sound very appealing, but they are actually quite charming. Their frantic movements give you the impression that they are "exploring" their world, and you want to see what they "do" next. You can buy one of the specially designed "habitats" for them, or create an obstacle course for them out of a shoebox and small things they can "play" with. (We like to put a small, rubber ball and an empty toilet paper tube in a shoe box and see how long it takes the random motions of the Nano to push the ball through the tube!) These are mesmerizing little toys that are good for hours of fun. A perfect "pet" for a child who is not yet ready for the responsibilities of owning a living animal.

Bought about 7 Hexbug Nanos for nephews ages 3 to 10 and they loved them! We made tracks and mazes and raced them. The Nano is quite tiny (about 1" x 0.5"), and they can end up in very tight places if you let them get away. One got between the dishwasher and the kitchen cabinet and had to be surgically removed! Also, you will need a magnifying glass to read the instructions or change the battery (really).

This item was exclusive to Brookstone until about December 15th. Brookstone originally listed this product with photos of all available colors. The product description however states that you are getting one Hexbug in a random color. Nowhere on the listing does it say set or set of 5 etc. It is not fair for those who ordered without reading the product description and simply assumed they were getting a set because one of each color is illustrated in the photographs. Red Rocket Hobbies contacted Amazon to have their photos of singles shown and to get the listing updated to make sure people didn't assume.

Amazon has full control over which seller gets to have product information shown on product pages, even if they are wrong. If you want to complain to a company you should contact Brookstone who listed the product in the first place. I hope this helps shed some light on this description problem.

The glow in the dark Hexbugs are very cool toys and are in very limited supply this holiday season. I've never seen them sell for $5 as stated in another review. The market and demand always sets the price everywhere.

Honest reviews on One Hexbug Nano Glow-in-the-Dark Micro-Robotic Creature (colors may

I got these for my children as stocking stuffers. They enjoyed them immensely, making an obstacle course in a big box to watch these little guys maneuver around. They also loved that they glowed in the dark. Until the batteries ran out.. I would say total play time was an hour. I didn't have more batteries, so that was that. I know these can come as a pack with lots of batteries included, for lots more money. If you are going to purchase them, I would recommend buying them with lots of extra batteries.

5 year old son wanted the larger spider & ant & another insect I forget. But after I reviewed that product & other similar toys, these bugs seemed like the clear winner to me based on reviews. I followed suggestions to buy at least 2 to see how they move together, more interesting than just one bug people said. Also bought glow in the dark per reviews.(Very Cool) The habitats seemed pretty popular (& add ons for them as well). But I thought if we already have small wooden blocks and big cardboard "bricks" why not use what toys the kids already have? This way we're not adding to a landfill in a few years. Also, by not buying anything to contain these little buggers, the kids would have to spent more time building/ creating their own habitats. This has worked out FABULOUSLY! They build long runs & mazes side by side, with each bug having its own identical space, and then watch the bugs "race" through their creations to see who the winning bug is. This is fun, simple, creative, and saves $$ I don't have to shell out for a habitat that doesn't have any other useful purpose. Now my 7 yr old son AND my husband want to get their own bugs. Everyone is taken with such a clever little gadget. They truly seem like real insects. Even the cat is fascinated by them. As for batteries, we have not had to change them yet, & they've had a LOT of play time. For what it's worth, my husband is a diabetic & his pump runs on these batteries. So if anyone out there is a diabetic w/ pump, you have an unlimited supply of these batteries at your finger tips, just remove them before discarding your pump. Store them so they do not touch each other, so they do not drain their energy. We tape ours to a piece of cardboard. This is not an educational toy, it's just pure fun. Building your own structures to contain these little creatures does add a smidge of educational value, right? Found this toy @ WALMART for much cheaper.

Cheap Bratz Passion 4 Fashion Laptop

Customer Ratings:

My daughter has been wanting a Bratz laptop for almost a year. I was looking for one that was affordable. Most Bratz laptops are between . That is if you are luckly to find one available for that amount. I was on Ebay fighting to get one and it wasn't able to. Everyone seemed to want one as well. So I decided to go to Amazon to find one that I could afford. I found this one within my means. I will say this. This laptop is Only meant for children who can read and do addition, subtraction, and starting to learn mulipulation and division. If they are pass that type of math, it is useless. If they can't read it is useless. My daughter just started to learn mulipulation this year so she is ready for this product. I can't say the same thing about her younger brother.

Thank you,

I ordered this product along with a Leappad2, said item was in stock ready to ship but did not receive for another 4 days after I received the Laeppad. I could have purchased the charger pack locally at a higher price so I purchased batteries so that my daughter could use her new Leappad before we received the charger pack. The batteries lasted anywhere from 4-5hrs/4AA. The money I spent in the four days on batteries was more than the difference in price and will make up the cost of the charger pack within the first 40 hours of use. I have charged the charger pack two times (including initial charge) and my daughter has gotten close to 14hrs of use(6.5-7 hrs per charge) I am happy with this purchase and would recommend over using AA batteries. The "batteries" fit the Leappad2 perfectly and the battery doors closed just as they should, unlike prior reviews.(there is a right and left door if mixed up won't close all the way) It looks and feels like it is solidly constructed and uses quality materials. Have not needed it yet, but the ability to plug the Leappad into an outlet and use without batteries adds functionality and versatility to the Leappad and I think is almost a necessity.

I have twins and got them the my friend Emily and this one. Both of them were more attracted to this one. They really really loved it since they were 3 month old... The first thing that attracted them was the crinkly sound of the skirt and the black and white lining underneath it. Now that they are teething every part of Sophie gets chewed on and there is a lot of variety with the ring, the hair, her crown, the link, feet... The BIG downside: Like all Lamaze gym toys Sophie is surface wash only. I like to wash toys before giving them to my babies and even though I skipped it on this one, by now especially with all the chewing it is time for Sophie to take a bath. I will try gentle and cold but expect the ring to break since this seems to be the only low quality part of Sophie. So in the end it is a great toy if you would ask my girls but because it's not a keeper i only give 3 stars. A BABY TOY HAS TO BE WASHABLE from my point of view.

Review of Galileoscope Telescope

Customer Ratings:

An economic educational telescope. I have built it and taken it apart several times to educate my children on how telescopes works.

The optics are great, clear and allow us to study the planets and search for star clusters. Very easy to use. The focusing needs a little getting used to but by using a screwing action one can get sharp viewing.

I have other larger telescopes, but this is my preferred quick look and traveling telescope.

I would not consider this a toy, rather an educational instrument.

You just need to also buy a tripod (a good photo tripod will do). It is a telescope of excellent quality that gives you the direct experience of what Galileo could see. Verify if you do as well or better than the great man. Why is it cheap? Because the aim was to make astronomy interesting and available to every child. You can pay 2 or 3 times as much for something poor. One of the advantages is that there is quantity of web sites to help you with this, from Galileo.org to noao.edu. It is a smart gift for any teen if you want to spend some time with the teen in question.

A telescope is like a piano, not many kids will enjoy it on their own.

If you have the desk or board to hold these templates in place, they are really excellent ways to introduce your child to writing skills.
