Bug and Frog Habitat

I have had what has happened to the others happen to me. It's just that with a little research I have found that smaller frogs aka ones that have just reached land need to dry a little and die when entered back into the water. So, if you were to take a frog that is big enough about an inch that would not get stuck between the glass then it suits a nice size home until you can afford a bigger tank. read more..

Harry Potter NECA Fawkes the Phoenix Plush

The toys was smaller than I thought it would be for the price. It also came with a small tear in the back stitching which I fixed myself since it was a Christmas gift and there was no time to return it. She likes having it with her other Harry Potter items. But unfortunately, stuffed toys spend more time on the bed, than in play. read more..

Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board

Well built and really neat to play with. The kids just lost interest after a couple of days playing with it.

Wife and I had printed out pictures off the Internet (Dora, Deigo, Blues Clues) and slipped the paper in for them.

Nice 3Dish look. read more..

World of Warcraft (WOW) Fires of Outland Booster Box (24 Packs/ Box)

TCG booster 24-pack with one pack holding a special rub off card with a code for use in the Wow online game prize. Still do not know how to utilize the code card properly. Currently have 2 of them. read more..

Spin & Discover Globe

I ordered this thinking it would be easier to use for a one year old than it was. It is hard to see the animals on the underside and hard to move the animals to get them to say their things, it just keeps singing the same song over and over since the kids can't activate (one who is almost two now) the animals. read more..

WEBKINZ - Seal

This is my 6 year olds favorite Webkinz. I only wish it were machine washable. He totes it around everywhere and after only having it for a few days it's looking very grungy. It is super soft and very adorable. read more..

Radio Flyer Steer and Stroll Deluxe Trike

So, i read ALOT of reviews for this product and overall, definitely a high rater. I love the push bar for this. It's definitely easy to use and i'm not the shortest person. The basket in the back is great for carrying a bottle of water in the AZ heat. The kid loves it and I don't break my back helping him climb the hills.

1. The bell does not stay upright so is pretty much unusab read more..

Hasbro Littlest Pet Shop Round & Round Pet Town

While I love the innocence of Littlest Pet Shop- cute little animals! I think the prices are way too high.

Thank you, Grandma, for spending the money. The girls spend hours playing with these. read more..

Fisher Price Big Big World Bongo Boogie Snook

I bought it around a month back. Snook has fur outside but has motor/machinery inside which makes it heavy enough for a toddler. It's motion is cute but only one step so no doubt kid is getting bored only after few days.
Bongo is badly designed and thus doesn't generate sound enough on tapping for the snook to dance in response. Even tapping by me doesn't make it dance, leave the toddler alo read more..

Superman Inflato Suit

This was a fun item, but the "fun" wears off real quick. The inflater fan is a little clip-on and it's a bit annoying for my son. He complains that this costume is "itchy" and wants it off of him within minutes of having it on, even when it is over his clothing.

Maybe when he is a little older he will keep it on longer (he is 5). It's definately worth the few minutes he wears it now! read more..

Spinmaster Aquadoodle Draw N' Doodle Mat

I bought this toy two years ago, when my child was 2 years old. She liked it, but the problem is that the mat is too light so it's difficult for the children to hold it down without sliding. So it's an okay toy, especially because is mess-free, but I'm not sure if it's worth 19 bucks. read more..

Nerf Pocket Vortex Football, Assorted

This is called a "pocket" football for a reason. It is very small. I expected it to be bigger. That said, it is pretty perfect for my three-year-old to hold and throw. read more..

Radio Flyer Classic Red Dual Deck Tricycle

Quality no doubt. However, I almost fainted from the paint fumes while I tried to assemble it indoors. Open this item outdoors and leave it outside. Has been weeks and it still smells. read more..

Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad

this is definetly a must have for any parent with a toddler. it's easy to install and easy to operate. just a few qualms tho. it's not mac compatible as of yet. you need to make sure you have the latest version of flash and shockwave installed. the pattern on the mouse pad messes around with optical.( i just use a regular mouse pad). now if you are tech save you can just go to the actual kids' web read more..

Scrabble: Junior Edition

I brought this assuming that it will help my preschooler learn spelling and begin putting words together but the junior side has words filled in with the pictures and she now looks at the pic to make up the word easily.. Doesnt help with reading.. I havent yet tried the older kids side of the toy yet. read more..

Melissa and Doug See & Spell

This toy is ok. The puzzles are fun, and my 4 year old enjoys them from time to time. It doesn't keep his attention very long. The part I don't like is the storage. The box the puzzles and letters come in is not very sturdy, and there is no lid over top of the letters. It would be nice to have a snap on cover so the letters would be easier to keep track of. read more..

Little Princess Soft & Sweet Belle - 12"

This product is good as a toy only.It is a cute soft little doll with big eyes and long hair. It does not have much to do with the educational value except that little girls can cuddle and pamper the doll pretending like a baby. Durability is of okay type nothing great. My girl wanted to take off her shoes:) but could not because its sewn. The dress and other accessories are not detachable. read more..

Ouija Board: Glow-in-the-Dark

I used to be a cynic also, and just tried this board for a laugh. I gave this board very low reviews because I regret ever trying this out. I am not a religious person, but soon after I first became involved with this aspect of the occult hell became a very believable phenomenon.

Nothing actually happened while playing with the board; my cynicism was confirmed by my friends who tr read more..

Spin Master Toys R/ C Vectron Ultralight Air Hog 27.145 MHz

the first time i got one my mom sat on it and it broke so we got a new one, when i took it out side with no wind it went at least 30 feet then it stopped and dropped 30 feet strait down to the street and survived.
the only bad thing is it has a very very short charge life. read more..

Disney Hannah Montana Pop Star Electric Guitar

I got this for my daughter at Target for around 25 bucks. The connector thing for the guitar strap broke off after a couple of days because it's not very sturdy. The guitar itself gets boring pretty quickly because all it does is play the choruses of three Hannah Montana songs, there's no free play mode. I returned the toy and did not bother getting an exchange. read more..

Hasbro Playskool Let's Play Together Go & Grow Giraffe

My daughter just turned one. We bought this for her to channel some of her energy! So far, though, she is spooked every time we help her onto it and wants to get off. She has started warming up toward it and will sometimes sit next to it and rock it by holding onto the handle. But my visions of her rockily happily while I make dinner haven't materialized! Maybe in time... Otherwise, it is cute, du read more..

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Band Set

This is a good product for the price (I bought it on sale for $20), but I was disappointed by the quality after having purchased and enjoyed Melissa and Doug 60-Piece Standard Unit Blocks. About half the set is wooden sticks and clackers, which make a lot of great noise but won't hold your little one's interest for very long. The kazoo is marginal, with ours having rough, unfinished surfaces I wou read more..

Russ Berrie Shining Stars Snow Owl

The stuffed toy itself is cute and my daughter likes it, but the website was very disappointing. As far as I can tell members can't play games against each other like Webkinz, which I think is most of the fun. We won't be buying anymore of these, or of ePets as their site is just as bad. My 2 daughters have around 15 webkinz and that is what we are going to stick with. read more..

Madd Kidz Jumpster

My kids enjoy the jumpster very much, but it deflates on one side quite frequently---there are no holes or scratches, just does not seem to hold up--we just inflate it every week or two. read more..

Deluxe Turntable Scrabble

Growing up, we played Scrabble around the kitchen table on our deluxe Scrabble board made of heavy duty blue plastic and raised gridlines. Today, when at home we still play Scrabble on that same board.

This Board I am reviewing is not near the same class. While the board has some neat features: Tiered lazy susan (so the Board can be table level or lifted around 3 inches while still read more..

Jump Start

My kids ages 3 and 8 both love this trampoline, indoors and out, until the bungee broke after less than a year. I had to email the company and send the broken bungee to get a new one which took several weeks. read more..

Infant Stim-Mobile

We were initially very excited by the fact that our 2 month old daughter loved this thing instantly. But upon using it a bit more, we have seen 3 major limitations that we suspect will make it short-lived.

1. The cards are very hard to replace without breaking (due to the cheap, stiff nature of their plastic and the small knobs that hold them together).

2. It doesn't sp read more..

Hasbro Playskool Step Start Walk 'n Ride

This is a cute walk 'n ride toy and it seems durable. It was SUCH A PAIN to put it together though. Instructions were clear it was just hard to cnap pieces into where they belong. I hurt my hand doing it and I'm not an idiot that can't put things together (we are IKEA experts in our house). My 10 month old seems to like it and she has already been pulling herself up on and and trying to take a read more..

Melissa & Doug Dinosaurs 48-Piece Floor Puzzle

My 3 year old loves puzzles and dinosaurs, and he enjoys this puzzle. The colors are good, the pictures realistic, and it is durable (as I expect from Melissa and Doug products). My complaint is that there is no information about which dinosaurs are pictured. I am no expert, and my son keeps asking what their names are. We've been able to figure some out by looking through books, but it is work read more..

The Original Colorforms Set

The first day was fun for my 4 yr old. He does not like to clean up - ya, ya, I Know he should... so we have started to loose the smaller pieces. Now, he finds it difficult to pick the smaller pieces and always wants company when he does this. Infact, my 10 year old does get carried away with this toy. This set should have more project pictures. I bought three and will pass them on as birthday gif read more..
