Review of Fandex Family Field Guides: Dinosaurs

Customer Ratings:

I got these for my nephew and he loves them. They have so many facts on each card, but the best part are the dinosaur pictures on the top. The graphics are fantastic and are clear enough for children to begin associating the specific dinosaur type to the all kinds of pictures easily identifying the different kinds of dinosaurs.

Buy Learning Resources - Jumbo Numbers & Operations Stamp Set

Customer Ratings:

I was disappointed to find that the number "13" stamps as "31" because of manufacturing error. This proves difficult to use it in the classroom. As I needed it as a remediation tool immediately, I will be trying to fix it myself. However, very disappointed that for the price there was such a basic error, and now something I wanted to use with ease, has become a problem.

The stamps are a perfect size for my classroom use. I had hoped to use them often, but already 2 have cracked. The "handle" part of the stamp is made of a single piece of formed plastic that has a little give, but if pushed on with much force, will crack. I have been trying to think of a product I could put inside the handles, that would reinforce them before more break. As far as the numbers, they are great, the size is super, all of my students are able to pick them up and place them properly. I teach self-contained special education, my class is upper elementary age some have some motor delays as well.

Honest reviews on Learning Resources - Jumbo Numbers & Operations Stamp Set

Bought this stamp to help teach my children early stage in math. Because currently they are young (4 years and 2 years old) They just play with the stamp. When time to tidy up, It's a game to recognize number 1-20 for my son. and 1-10 for my daughter. I can predict I will be using this stamp until my children finished elementary school.

Orion 13039 2-Inch Crayford-Style Telescope Focuser Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I have purchased from Orion before and they have always provided a quality product at a reasonable price. I purchased this because my old rack and pinion focusser on my 12.5-inch Newtonian finally stripped out after about thirty years of use. This focuser is at least as good as ones that cost much more. While it doesn't have a reduced action fine focus adjustment the oversized knobs provide plenty of control. The locking screw does just that the focus tube will not move when it is tightened down. Other Crayford focusers I have used still allow movement when they are locked down. I have seen complaints that it isn't a factory fit for their scope. So what!? Any time I purchase a new item for my scope I expect the need to perform some sort of fabrication or modification to adapt it. The only issue I have, and it's a minor one, is that the eyepiece lock screw doesn't use a brass ferrule. But, there are two of them on the 2" tube so as to reduce or eliminate any play in any eyepiece or camera you wish to attach. Once again, well worth the price.

I purchased this focuser in 2006 to improve an 8 inch F5 optical tube assembly I acquired that same year. I was pleased with the performance of this item. This focuser is put together well and turns consistently in relation to effort applied so that as long as you have a steady hand you'll be fine even at higher magnifications. It doesn't have fine adjustment knobs, which may not be a requirement as long as you're doing visual only astronomy (not taking long exposure pictures) and or not tracking an object with a drive system.

Also, if you're tracking objects manually without a drive system, at higher magnifications you'll likely spend more hands on time tracking your object than focusing, so not much real opportunity for fine focus utilization. Finally at moderate and lower magnifications, focusing is or ought to be much easier, which also lessens a need for a fine focus usage.

VTech - ABC Text and Go Review

Customer Ratings:

This toy is excellent.

It has many different modes and sections, the sound is excellent, and the display is nice and big.

It amazes me that this item is only $13, I would have paid $30 for this toy after messing with it a bit and learning the different aspects of it.

My ONLY complaint, and it is a big one, is the battery door on the back is NOT secured with a screw, it is just a clip. I am going to write Vtech a letter about the battery door issue, but the rest of it is amazing.

VERY good for any kid aged 3 to 5, I highly recommend it. You won't regret the purchase.

-----Update: It has been over 2 years since I wrote this initial review. The toy is still going strong after bring dropped, stepped on and otherwise abused. It is now on its second child and just in case I bought a second one to hold onto in case it ever does finally die. The only toy in my house that gets more use and durability than this VTech thing is the Imaginext Dinosaurs that are built like a tank.

2 years later (2013) I can still toss this item 5 stars, despite the battery door not being screw on.

I originally bought this for my 4 year old because she's constantly wanting to play on my phone. I thought if she had a "blackberry" of her own, she might give mine a break :) To my delight, she has barely put it down since Christmas! The best part is that she can use it all on her own. With many other learning toys, it seems the parents have to be right there with the child to help. We keep it in the car and it holds her attention for hours. It has helped her tremendously with letters, numbers, spelling, logic, etc. This is a TERRIFIC buy and I highly recommend it for ages 3-6!

My 3.5 year old could not put this toy down after receiving it as a gift. It was easy for her to figure out and she liked the sounds and visuals on the screen. The only thing I would change on his toy is an option to lower the volume a notch lower than the two choices there already. They seem to be loud and louder.

Best My First Pet with Magic Portal Deals

Customer Ratings:

This is a great product and that a decent price. My children fondly remember growing up of sea monkeys. We almost always lived in apartments and were not allowed pets. The fact that they could sort of grow them themselves made it really fun for them

.

We had the sea monkey portapet back then and the Aqua leash prove necessary.

This kit comes with an Aqua leash which is useful for many things. We would put an aerator stone for an aquarium at the end of it toaerate our tank.

You can order products you may need such as extra food which I would suggest you do early through sea monkeys.com on a mail order form.

The downside of that is yes they seem to be in the dark ages as far as ordering their products are concerned and it takes a really long time – – but you will receive your order in about six weeks if you follow all their directions.

Discount Toobaloo Set of 4 Color May Vary

Customer Ratings:

Toobaloos are GREAT for guided reading groups. I use different colored electrical tape to reinforce them because they are thin plastic that can fall apart if dropped "just the right way" on the floor. With reinforcement they'll last a long time. I also use alcohol wipes to sanitize them after each child uses the Toobaloo. Students love them and no one gets sick in my classroom from holding them near their face.

I love this thingit is so pretty and occupies my little one. He is 8 months and loves to play with the shapes and knock down little towers that I make. He can't sort out the shapes into the holes yet, but he'll get there. I love that there are no sharp edges too.

The only complaint I have is that the square shapes are red, orange and yellow, while the triangle shapes are all green and the circles are all blue. Why didn't Hape either make each shape a shade of the same color, or each size of each shape a different color? It's annoying to say "the green triangles, the blue circles, and the various colored squares". That said, it's an awesome toy.

I am very pleased with this toy. Simple shapes, easy for little ands to hold....and run around the house with and leave at the bottom of the laundry basket.....but I digress. The shapes are symmetrical so there is no wrong way to fit them into their corresponding holes. They also stack on top of each other. My daughter likes to make little totem poles with each group. A variety of learning opportunities including teaching basic colors (red yellow, orange, blue green), introducing the concept of shades of colors (dark blue, light blue etc) and also size (small, medium, large). Highly recommend!

Reviews of Lauri Toys Stringing Pegs and Pegboard Set

Customer Ratings:

My daughter isn't so great at fine motor control so I got this for her. She loves building a "space shuttle" (I think the card looks like a barn, but who cares.) She does a great job because she is so motivated. I am concerned the pad will tear someday, but we haven't had it very long so who knows.

The main reason I am writing this review is the price. I put this in my shopping cart while I waited to decide if I wanted it or not. The price fluctuates frequently and by huge amounts. I have seen it cost anywhere from $13+ to over $20. Then it jumps just a short time later. I don't know if this is a temporary issue or not, but you may want to see if the price becomes more favorable in the next few days.

The paper cards that come with it are not the size of the foam boardas in you cannot lay the cards on top & push the pegs through the paper. But you could use a copier to make your own functional ones.
