Slide N' Splash Whale Pool
2008-06-20 22:12:32
This product has been loads of fun for my two children, ages 4 and 2, and even for my older nieces and nephews. They LOVE the whale slide with the spouting sprinkling feature. The pool is large enough for at least 3 small children to splash around in. It has a nice large drain in the bottom and inflates easily. After about 4 uses the slide portion of the 'whale' has a hole and will not inflate. The product comes with a patch kit but we have been unable to locate the hole. I think the damage resulted from my niece and nephew (ages 12 and 9) bouncing on the slide. The pool however, is fun even without the slide. For the price, this is a great pool. ...

Baby Spring Float Sun Canopy by Swimways
2008-06-20 22:11:22
I searched and searched for a water device that would satisfy the needs of my almost one year old. This is it! Look no further..gotta trust me. The canopy really shades them, and can be taken off, if it's a bit cloudy, which is a bonus, as other toys don't have that benefit. It's lightweight and can be folded back up if necessary. It is a great floatation device, doesn't tip easily and isn't hard or time consuming to blow up--just 2 chambers. (it took me literally 2 minutes) Also, if some over zealous 5 year old swimmer comes up to you and inadvertently hangs on, the whole thing doesn't tip, just dips down a bit. (eh-hem..) The air chamber tubes aren't super thick, so don't get anything sharp or semi sharp near them, as they will pop. (that's what happened to my first one) But even with one chamber filled, it still floats, you just need to hang on and really be a good watcher. You don't have to hang on to them the whole time, which is nice too, as sometimes you're talking or get distra ...

Indiana Jones Electronic Sound FX Whip
2008-06-20 22:09:12
i remember seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark as a kid and wanting a whip just like Indiana Jones. it took them almost three decades and a new Indiana Jones movie to finally make a roleplaying toy inspired by Indy's signature weapon. i may be 24, but i still get a kick out of pressing the button on the handle and hearing the sound of the cracking whip and John Williams' theme kick in. the handle is made of rubber and plastic, the whip itself is made of soft cotton-like fabric. fun for Indy fans who ever wished they could travel the world and fight Nazis while searching for centuries-old relics. just don't forget your fedora. ...

Blokus Strategy Board Game
2008-06-20 22:08:26
I love this game. I wish my kids liked it more -- they do like it but not as much as I do. We had the original Blokus for several months and enjoyed it quite a bit, but you really need four players, and it was rare we had exactly that many wishing to play. You can play with fewer but only if one or more players plays two colors. The original doesn't work at all if you just leave one of the colors out.So Travel Blokus was a great addition -- it only has two colors and therefore can be played by just two people. So we have both -- the original for full family fun, and travel Blokus for when I can only talk ONE of my children into playing this with me.I will add that if you are a Blokus Master you will find that you need to retune your strategies for this game. The smaller board and fewer colors requires a different approach if you want to CRUSH YOUR OPPONENT. Or, you know, be able to defend yourself against a whiz-kid 8 year old. ...

Step2 WaterWheel Play Table
2008-06-04 20:26:53
I bought this for my daycare kids & my 6yr daughter. They love it and Ihave no regrets buying it; however I do wish that it had a plug todrain the water. Also, I was disappointed that the water tower doesn'tsnap into place in any way. It just sits there loosely and is easilyknocked over by the kids causing frustration. But over all it's a lot of funand the kids love it which is what matters in the end! ...

Crayola 3-D Chalk
2008-06-04 20:25:57
Wow..I was amazed at this product. I've seen many commercials on TV and thought this would be a gimmick...and that the 3D effects would be uneffective.However, boy was I surprised! It works like it says it does...and my kids LOVED it. When you wear the INCLUDED 3D glasses...everything really works as described. I love it! The kids love it!This is probably the coolest toy all year so far...I'm picking up a few more packs on Amazon as I right this review.Overall this product is just what everyone says it is...AWESOME. Your kid will love it. ...

Sidewinder Falls With Banzai Fun Pack
2008-06-04 20:25:05
Well, so far so good! We've put up the slide on three different occasions now and I have to say...so far, it's worth every penny!!! I'm sure my opinion would change if it got a huge rip in it tomorrow, but I'm thrilled with this purchase! (Oh, and my kids love it too, lol.)It was a tad tricky to set it up (according to the hubby) but once that got going, the rest is a breeze. Putting it away isn't nearly as hard as I pictured it to be. Yes, you have to dry it off, but letting it sit in the sun with the air on it for about 30 minutes does the trick. A couple of swipes with the towel and you're good to go. As everyone else said, don't even try to put it back in the bag it came in. I don't know what they're even thinking with that tiny thing. We use it to store the blower.This has got to be the best purchase I've made when it comes to summer fun toys. As long as this holds up, it's going to be a great summer!!! (and hopefully a few more after that.)Honestly, if I can get two summer's wort ...

Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday CakeWho knew that a wooden birthday cake could provide so much entertainment? Our 3.5 y.o daughter is obsessed with it. As are her friends when they come over.

Lamaze Jacques the PeacockOur son loved looking at this toy when he was too young to reach out and grab it. Now that he is almost 7 months old, it is still a big favorite. He loves to chew on the wings and feel the textures. This toy is also a crowd favorite at playdates with even older children. This toy is well worth the money.Toy info Shop ...

Pass the Pigs
2008-04-29 07:47:09
Pass the PigsMy family and I take this game to restaurants all the time. It is small and compact, with few pieces, and you can play a whole game before your food arrives. It helps teach basic math skills, though apart from the math it is basically a "luck" game. I especially enjoy the randomness of rolling pigs to get points... I mean, who ever thought up that one? Whoever they were, they did a great job on it. This game is also good for airport waits, doctor/dentist office waits, when you are bored at home... basically whenever and wherever the opportunity presents itself :)Buy it people, its great!Toy info Shop ...

WaterWheel Play TableWow! What a big hit with my three year old twins. They can't wait to go out and play with this on a sunny day and I have never seen them play with something so long at one time. They will play with this for an hour and a half at a time. Great toy for little ones. They do get pretty wet playing, so I've learned to put them in their swimsuits to go out and play. They love the waterwheel especially.Toy info Shop ...

ThinkFun Zingo
2008-04-29 07:45:01
ThinkFun ZingoZingo is a variant of Bingo (with a zing!). Zingo involves matching an image and word on a tile with a number of images on the zingo card. Image and vocabulary recognition, matching, memory, concentration, and social interaction are the skills promised to be improved. On most of these points Zingo is successful.The zingo cards have images like a foot, cat, bat, and a cake in a 3 x 3 grid. The game comes with 8 double sided cards. There are two levels of play (red and green), one on each side of card. The "zinger" is a pre-loaded tile dispenser that is slid forward to reveal two tiles at a time. The first to call out the word on the desired tile gets to place that tile on their card, when the card is filled with tiles the game ends. One positive aspect of this game is that on each tile there is a picture of an object and the printed word, this helps associate the word with the picture for early readers. I also like the fact that all of the pieces fit into a fairly sma ...

Live Butterfly Garden
2008-04-29 07:40:14
Live Butterfly GardenThis is the only thing my son wanted for his seventh birthday. The caterpillar people let me schedule the delivery so that the caterpillars arrived just a couple of days before his birthday. The are all alive and growing SO fast. He is fascinated with them, and has started a butterfly bush for them. Of course these will chrysalize long before the bush is grown, but I plan to order more caterpillars once these are grown into butterflies and we can have this fun all summer. He is most pleased with this gift, and I am happy that I found this one so much cheaper than the one advertised on TV. It works the same and I saved money. He hasn't noticed the difference. We will enjoy this all summer, thanks!Toy info Shop ...

Sassy Car Wash Bath ToyThere are a lot of things that I don't like about this toy - BUT my son could care less. He loves it. It's so hard to find good bath toys. If it were tons of fun he would never want to get out of the bath and we would have a yelling match every night. So I'm happy with this toy. He uses his imagination with it, which helps him overcome the things I don't like about it.Webkins Charms ...

BANANAGRAMS
2008-02-17 17:15:58
BANANAGRAMSI was introduced to this game on a "girls only" weekend. I wasn't so sure at first, as Scrabble had always seemed so tedious. Bananagrams is, by far, one of the best "new" games I have played in a long time. I like the fact that you can play with any age or skill level. The words can be simple or complex depending on your vocabulary. The banana-shaped case is compact & portable. I had to order my own as soon as I got home. This game will be added to the game bag that travels in the car. A great use of otherwise wasted time while you are waiting just about anywhere. You might include a pocket dictionary in your game bag, just in case you are playing with kids or people who like to challenge your words. I think there will be a lot of Bananagrams under our 2008 Christmas tree!BANANAGRAMS ...

Mattel Barbie 3-Story Dream House Playset
2008-02-17 17:13:08
Mattel Barbie 3-Story Dream House PlaysetI discovered at the last minute that my daughter wanted this Barbie house when she told Santa. Needless to say, we went looking for that one last thing - this house. Toys R Us had it on sale and didn't have any in stock and "had no idea where the truck was that had them on it, it was missing." I came home and immediately got on the internet and found this one. At the time it said it was the last one. It was the same price at the store and free shipping - you can't beat that.Was even told not to expect the item until Dec 24. It shipped the next day and we had it in 3 days. We were all excited and had a VERY happy girl on Christmas morning!Thank you so much! It was a great experience and one that will make me come here first!Mattel Barbie 3-Story Dream House Playset ...

Fisher-Price Nature's Touch Baby Papasan Cradle Swing
2008-02-17 17:09:08
Fisher-Price Nature's Touch Baby Papasan Cradle SwingWe got this for my son when he was about 3 weeks old. I love that it has two positions, one of which is more reclined. He would slump over in the more upright position because he wasn't strong enough to hold himself up yet. The swing not only swings front to back, it swings side to side and my little guy loves to swing left to right. He likes the music and the mobile, although I can't see how he can even tell what he is looking at because the mobile faces out, not down towards the swing. There is a big "fisheye" style mirror that he just stares at the entire time he's in there. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because when you have the activity bar snapped on it is pretty hard to get your little one in and out of the swing. It doesn't snap on or off very easily, so you need to decide before you put your little guy in there if you want it on. If your baby has fallen asleep in the swing, thanks to the bar, there really ...

VTech Kidizoom Digital Camera
2008-02-17 16:26:18
VTech Kidizoom Digital CameraGot this camera as a present for my 3-year-old daughter - she loves it! She can switch it on and off by herself and is always asking for '[her] camera' so she can snap a picture. It's also absorbed a few harsh drops without any trouble.Caveats:- Though it's named "Kidizoom", it does not actually have any zoom functionality. (Not that a toddler would know what to do with it!)- Don't try to use a miniSD or microSD card with an SD adapter, and MMC cards won't work either - the camera will start up and immediately shut itself down again. A cheap plain SD card does fine - I put in a 256MB SD that I had lying around and, given that the built-in 16MB held well over 100 of her pictures, I'm sure she'll never fill it up.- Like many low-end digitals, it doesn't work all that well if lighting is dim, like indoors at night - it needs to be held more still than a toddler can manage. There is a flash, but it will totally bleach out anything taken at toddler-interest rang ...

Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube
2008-02-17 16:23:04
Munchkin Mozart Magic CubeThe cube contains six classic Mozart tunes that can be heard via 5 individual, or combination of, instruments including a concert mode which plays them all. Your child can manipulate the ensemble while the music is playing. My 18 month boy loves it and is always fiddling with the different types of musical play. Somehow (despite such a young age)he was able to intuitivly master the cube use rendering my first impression (that this toy is more appropraite for older children) wrong.When the music is playing to his desire he spontaneously starts waving and clapping his hands. I have no proof but based on my observation I feel this toy enhances his appreciation of music as well as his ability to understand basic music composition.My four year old loves it too so the biggest challenge is getting them to share it.What is best about the cube is that it is designed for the toddlers. Like any child my son loves to throw the cube too, fortunately it is designed with sof ...

Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper
2008-01-19 05:23:21
Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball PopperHard to know how to review this, but needed to say something...this is my son's favorite toy. In fact, he will play with very little else. He turns this on every morning by 6 am. He will make his way through a completely dark house to the front room to find this. The music is way too loud and it's insane. And I have to listen to it all day long. If he's awake, this thing is on. Yes, the balls shoot all over. Yes, this would be the toy the devil would make if he could make toys. But my son LOVES it. Plus, he has learned how to fix it on his own when the balls get stuck in the tube, and it taught him how to put balls in a small hole, and he'll hunt all over the house for the "right" balls to fit in this, as he has learned that using the "wrong" balls messes it up. So it has taught him a bunch. But I still hate it. We buy him other ball-type toys in hopes that he will forget this, but he ignores them all. We once switched it off and told him it was broken ...

Fisher-Price I Can Play Guitar SystemThis is a great product that stands apart from the other kids guitars in the marketplace right now in that it's a real learning product...and it's also FUN! For parents, it's very easy to get to work with a television, and has volume control.Features on the included cartridge include a song play mode, which teachers you to play along to well known songs, and the finger positions learned will translate to a real guitar. The song mode is broken down into three separate levels, and allows younger children to just strum along to the music too.After the song mode, the cartridge features a game and tutorial that will help you get a feel for the system and is fun. Another feature on the cartridge is the 'jam session' mode, where you can play anything you like on the guitar to a background track. Also, you can unplug the guitar from the TV and let your rockstar play on their own.More Information>>> ...

I just leave them in vechicle mode much easier WEll I see nothing wrong with metal toys which were made back in the 80's and now they are all plastic boo.

Rubik's Revenge Cube 4 X 4
2008-01-19 05:09:51
Rubik's Revenge Cube 4 X 4After having finally conquered the brain-twisting original 3 X 3 cube, I was eager to try the next level. I wasn't disappointed. While many of the techniques for solving the 3 X 3 cube are transferable to the 4 x 4, the 4 X 4 cube also presents several new and interesting twists, no pun intended, that make for a much more challenging puzzle. After a few minutes at it, you'll understand why it's called the "Revenge". Solving the puzzle for the first time is a feat sure to fill you with lasting smugness. But soon you're at it again, endeavoring to master the solving techniques and best your previous time. Though slightly larger than the 3 X 3 version, the Rubik's Revenge is still quite comfortable to grip and easy to manipulate. However, my hands are on the larger side, so people with small hands may find the cube a bit difficult to handle. As far as durability goes, if this cube can withstand the hours of merciless twisting punishment of my brutish man hands, y ...
