Review of INSTEN Premium Screen Protector Guard + Baby Pink Silicone Skin

INSTEN Premium Screen Protector Guard + Baby Pink Silicone Skin Case compatible with LeapPadĀ® Learning Tablet
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

this is not a very think protective cover, it does making gripping easier which a plus, but if my daughter droped her leap pad I wouldn't be surprised if it was damaged chipped or broken with this case

After buying this product we were dissatisfied as the screen protector peeled of easily, and the gel skin was very loose, and bothered our child so it wound up in a drawer. Junk! If your going to buy a protective skin for the leap pad then get a harder one from the website or Walmart. More expensive but it will still stay on the leap pad instead of in a drawer.

Bought this for my niece and works great. The screen protected does the job and the pink cover looks great for girls

Honest reviews on INSTEN Premium Screen Protector Guard + Baby Pink Silicone Skin

The screen protector works great, but the skin case covers the camera facing daughter on Leappad 2. For the money if you have the original Leappad it would be great although the skin case is a bit thinner material than what I really would have liked it to be.

The more use this toy gets the more I do not like this cover. I just purchased one of the hard plastic ones made by LeapFrog. This one is very thin and flimsy so not very durable. The corners come off all the time. I would save your buck and specd the 10-15 on a good one.

Review of Nuop Design Blue Connectible Drinking Straw Kit (44 Pieces)

Nuop Design Blue Connectible Drinking Straw Kit
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
My 7 year old loves silly straws, and this kit was a great addition to our collection! I'm not sure who has more fun with it, him or me. A great selling point for me was that it was dishwasher friendly; no need to scrub all 44 pieces each time you use it! Even when connecting all 44 pieces, he is still able to get liquid out of his cup without needing to suck very hard.

The only drawback is that the straws are not standard size in diameter, so if you lose the ones that came with the kit, you're sunk.

All in all, this was a great gift and a lot of fun!

I bought this toy for attach to the rainforest gym, because of the contrast colors white red and black that are very impressive for little babies,

My 3 month old baby also have a genetical syndrome so is more difficult to her do some things, but she love the bear, she looks so much to him and also touch him!

If you squeeze the bear he makes a squeal.

The only think that disappointed me is that he looks cheap, but... baby dont care about this!

This is a very sharp-looking model. I keep it on display. The plastic model is coated with a shiny bronze-looking finish. It is 6 inches long, front-to-back, not quite life-sized. The mounting rod lets the model rotate a bit, but it can sit on center just fine, so for display purposes that doesn't matter. This model could be of sturdier construction, but as an aesthetic object, it's great.

Reviews of LeapFrog Tag Storage Case

LeapFrog Tag Storage Case
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
List Price: $15.99
Sale Price: $7.64

The cheap plastic container think of the translucent plastic of which milk gallons are made, only thicker has a partition for the Tag Reader and sufficient room to fit up to 6 books.

The hinges consist of 3 strips of clear plastic that are glued to the top half and the bottom half of the case. When opening the case you should not force the top half beyond 90 degrees or the hinges are likely to break this is what earns this item the one star for 'durability'.

The front is locked with 2 rather loose green plastic clamps. You must be careful when closing the case or they may end up inside the plastic handle instead of outside and they could bend or break.

My advice: you may be better off with a generic (zippered) 8"x10" case for your Tag Reader and its books. If you do decide to buy this one, do not let your kid handle it or it may not last for long.

A warning states that this product should not be used by children under 3 because of a 'hazardous pinch point when closing lid'.

Made in China.

If you buy the Tag system, I recommend getting this case, it's got a spot for everything you need and holds a lot of the books, so everything is in one place. A huge help! And it protects all the books and pens very well.

Best Deals for LeapFrog Tag Storage Case

I bought this case for my daughter once I got tired of looking at her books and reader scattered over her desk. She also likes to take her Tag with her sometimes when we're on the go and it was always difficult for her to try to juggle the reader and the books.

While you could purchase almost any plastic case to keep the books organized, the advantage to this one is the molded slot that holds the reader itself. Once the case is closed, the Tag is secure and I no longer worry about her dropped it on the pavement and breaking it. The case also holds several books neatly and it's very convenient for my daughter to have all of her Tag gear in one place. It also means that she can bring a greater variety of books along with her on trips and as she tends to get very involved in the stories and games, this is a lifesaver for me when I need to run a boring errand as I know she'll be well distracted.

My only real complaint about the case is that it doesn't accommodate the large boards such as the Super Speller. It would have been nice to have the option of carrying this as well and being able to store it would help ensure that the letters on the board don't fall off and get lost. Still, I'm glad that I bought this case rather than just any plastic case. I feel it was well-worth the money because it does protect the Tag. Replacing that would cost considerably more than paying for the case.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Tag Storage Case

This is a really cheap case.

The material is that of a milk jug.

The hinges on my model aren't glued but rather have three "tabs" on each hinge that snap into place.

Unfortunately this is where durability is an issue.

I opened and closed it four times and each time I was holding two pieces in my hand.

This is without anything in it!

I think an inexpensive netbook bag would be a better solution.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for LeapFrog Tag Storage Case

I really like this product. The idea is good. It keeps the pen nice and safe when not in use. But the case has seperated several times. They are just snapped in, not really tightly locked. I think they should just make this case for the pen. I like the fact that I can keep the Tag books seperate from the others though. It keeps things simple when looking for something specific. But once you get more than 6 books, you either need another case, or find another contracption all together for them.

Our Hungry Pelican is now on child number three and shows no signs of wear despite being a favorite crib toy for many years.

The bright yellow velour pelican ties onto the crib railing. His fat cheeks squeak, his wings crinkle, and his feet rattle. He comes with four sea creatures (crab, shrimp, fish, and octopus) that are each different textures and colors, and make different sounds (rattle, rustle, etc.). Children can put the little animals into pelican's mouth and watch them drop down into his tummy. The large circular tummy opening allows for easy removal of the animals so play can begin all over again.

I found that babies enjoy quietly investigating the sounds, colors, and textures of the four little sea creatures. Toddlers progress to the eating game.

I am grateful to Mr. Pelican for allowing me an extra half hour of sleep every morning. What can be better than that!

Well, I loved this thing. However, we have only had it a few weeks and the squeak is already broken or not working in one of the cheeks of the pelican. I emailed K Kids, but haven't heard from them. I'd exchange it via Amazon but it's not worth the postage unless Amazon will exchange free of charge b/c of it being defective. It was not a cheap toy.

We bought this on the recommendation from a friend as a way to corral pacifiers and end the midnight, on our knees, searching for pacifiers game. LOVE it! The colors are bright and enticing, my son likes putting the stuffed toys in his mouth and it does exactly what I hoped... keeps pacifiers together and easily accessible and now my son has learned to put in and take out pacifiers himself.

Our son received the Hungry Pelican when he was 8 months old. We tied it into his crib right away. It took him a couple weeks to notice it but it soon became the favorite toy. He will play quietly in his crib in the mornings (giving me time to get ready for work!), taking the creatures out of the belly and playing with them. I am not sure he knows how to feed it just yet but that will come... I've found pacifiers and other items in the belly too and the little creatures all over the room. In terms of giving Mom and Dad a couple more minutes of quiet, this has been a lifesaver! (and the little shrimp cracks me up!)

It seems kind of funny to wax poetic about a silly little carrying bag, but I was very surprised and pleased by this. If I do flutophones with my classes again, I'll hit up the admin for 85¢ per kid and get a bunch of these. I bought myself a flutophone and one of these just to have my own to demo to the kids, and when this came, it was hard not to do a commercial to the kids about it. Surprising quality. For the price, you should get one even if you don't have a flutophone. Find something to keep in it!

Review of VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels- Airport Playset

VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels- Airport Playset
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
If you have purchased the other Vtech go go smart wheels stations (garage, fire station, safe signal bridge) and are frustrated that they come with no additional tracks, the airport makes up for this.

Pros:

1. Has many tracks that can connect with other Vtceh go go smart wheel stations

2. Comes with a functional airplane that talks and spins on a platform

3. lots of cool colors

4. many ways roads can be connected which helps for creativity and prevents your child from getting bored

5. decorative accessories

Cons:

1. The roads are not very smooth, causing friction

3. You have to buy this toy in order to have tracks for the other stations, so your forced to buy the whole set which is very costly even without the cars

3. I tried connecting the garage, airport and safe signal bridge and I need more tracks. I wish there was a way to connect all three and a I wish they provided a picture that shows how to do that. They could have added more tracks to make connections possible

3. Vtech site is no longer selling this toy.

5. This line is scarce in the market.

I received this toy for free to do a review of it on my blog. All opinions are my own.

My 8-month-old couldn't wait for me to open this box. He love the light-up talking airplane and wanted to get his hands on it. He was a little young to play with the airport in the way it was intended, but he enjoyed pulling the tracks apart to put them in his mouth and carrying the airplane around the house. My older kids (3 & 5 years old) both really enjoy putting the tracks together and finding the SmartPoints that make the airplane talk, play music, or make noises. The love playing with it with their baby brother too; I love that it is a toy they all like playing with together and both of the older boys enjoy helping their baby brother play with it.

The tracks and plane are very sturdy; My baby puts them in his mouth all the time and I have no doubt that they will hold up and still be in good condition when he's old enough to play with it the right way.

Best Deals for VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels- Airport Playset

My four and five year old sons (Matthew and Andrew) begged for me to open the box immediately and my 8 month old son (Ryan) got excited to climb over the box. The box sat on our butler's pantry for two days before I could bring myself to "tackle" the putting together portion of this toy. After the boys' persistence, I reluctantly agreed to open the box before they left for school. I was surprised when Matthew and Andrew were able to put the play set together without my help. I was even more surprised and pleased that they did so with Ryan grabbing pieces to put in his mouth. I really appreciated that all of the pieces were safe for Ryan to grab and put in his mouth.

The Airport Playset came with one vehicle, a plane. Ryan loved that it made noises and that it was small enough for him to handle. I loved that it came with batteries and the automatic shut-off! The colors and sounds kept my kids' attention for a long time. Matthew and Andrew enjoy playing with the toy and driving it around the 6 "Smart Point" locations that made fun and exciting sounds. At times, Ryan likes to break pieces off of the track but Matthew and Andrew are able to fix it for him. Once again, Vtech produced a great toy for my kids!

Honest reviews on VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels- Airport Playset

Yesterday we received this as a gift for my son's second birthday. He has been unable to stop playing with it for the past 24 hours. He does not want to go to bed without taking the little airplane with him to hold while he sleeps. I have seen many complaining about track for these different sets coming apart, they are made to do that. If you have dealt with a two year old very often, you will find that items that are fixed in place will get broken.

Now that I see how he loves the little airport I will be getting him more of these sets and some VTech Go! Go! Smart WheelsDeluxe Track Set for Christmas!

I was provided with a sample of this product from VTech, however the opinions are 100% my own.

I have 2.5 year old triplets and they absolutely love this toy. It's big enough and has enough to do that all three can play in relative harmony. I purchased the Go Go Smart Wheel Helicopter and Car to go along with the airplane the set comes with.

After watching me snap together the track once, they had it down and can get it out and set everything up themselves.

I love the SmartPoints. At first they were so excited to fly their planes they didn't notice them, but now they repeat everything their vehicle says. When they see a plane in the sky, they tell me "Airplane land Airport" I love that they have taken something they learned from a toy and applied it to real life.

I picked this up on a whim for our daughter for Christmas. It's cute as a button and the box is a nice quality. The animals are super cute and a little funky. The colors are vivid and fun. Our daughter was pleased and added a few other of her items in the box. The product dimensions for this kit are not listed correctly. I'm not sure of the actual size of the box but I'd say it's approximately 9-10 in height and width. The dimensions shown must be for the diary that comes in the box.
