Wild Planet Hyper Dash

I see there is now a "double" hyperdash and I think this may have made a difference for us. My kids just didn't get into it. Also, it stopped working after just a few uses. Still, I love the idea and think my kids may just be too young for it -- they are 6 and 3. read more..

Slingshot Flying Pig With Oink Sound

This is a fun gag gift that I gave to a collector of pigs. Not much other purpose for it, but it does provide a few laughs. read more..

Hot Wheels Speed Racer Sky Jump Track Set

This looked really neat & many reviews mention that it is one of the only Hot Wheels tracks that actually work so we decided up on this for a gift for our son.

Pros:
1) It does work about 75% of the time.
2) when it does work it is pretty neat to watch. Get two cars & they crash & that is fun for about 5 minutes. Both my kids scream & squeal & love it for a short tim read more..

Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board

The kids had fun with this but it is really hard to clean off. Plus the light-up effect only works in a really blacked-out room so they should have made the buttons light up. My daughter complained about that. Overall, it's a so-so toy compared to pencil and paper. Still, a neat effect. read more..

My daughter got this epets for christmas last year she loved it but then we forgot the code and i tried to contact the company but they never responded back to my email. Shel loved it so much and had a lot of fun playing with it on the computer i think i will get her another one for christmas this year but make sure you keep the codes somewhere and do no throw them away.... read more..

Mattel Barbie Forever Tawny 10-Inch Horse

My daughter got Barbie and the horse for Christmas. She was very frustrated when Barbie didn't fit on the horse. We had to go buy another Barbie that would fit but still she didn't stay on and keeps falling off. My daughter is 4 years old and wanted everyone to know this. read more..

EyeClops BioniCam

The good..
once you get a resolution focused you can see light objects fairly well.

The bad...
Lighting is very poor. the very small leds make any darker material impossible to see.
Very hard to focus, need to turn the entire front of the housing, can't do it "on the fly"
Changing magnification requires refocusing.

most kids will need assistance u read more..

Bakugan Battle Pack (Styles and Colors May Vary)

Never saw a bigger smile on my 6 year olds face. The marbles do damage quite easily so one must be careful with them. read more..

Star Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer Helmet

First, it took a tremendous amount of time to assemble this out of the box. Then adjusting it to fit my 9 year old's head so that he could both see out the visor and speak into the microphone took many more adjustments. It is still way too big for him. My son likes the phrases that it says and thinks they sound realistic. However, he cannot wear this helmet without holding it on his head to pr read more..

Twister Hopscotch

What I like about this game is there really are no rules. Kids arrange it how they want to, and can make up their own rules. However, the rings are so small my 7 yr. old daughter's shoe won't fit inside the ring without touching both sides. She wears a size one. It's still usable and fun. I just think the picture on the box is misleading, showing lots of room around the kids shoes.
My 7 read more..

Air Hogs Gamut TM

The toy is fine, however, it is not what was ordered. I ordered the Air Hogs Gamut and received the Air Hogs Blue Sky. I tried to contact the seller and received no response. I would be very careful about purchasing from this seller. read more..

Vtech - V.Smile TV Learning System

My son got the new V smile for Christmas last year with a variety of games to go with it. He has loved it from the first day. I on the other hand am not so keen on it. First of all, if you have a newer television (particularly a big screen) the V smile cannot be hooked up to it because the graphics are not made for that type of output. Problem 1. The next problem is that it gets hot and stops work read more..

Fisher-Price T.M.X. Tickle Me Extreme Cookie Monster

We bought this for our son a bit after it came out. The first few months he was scared of it and would not want to sit next to it when it went off. It has some trouble getting up sometimes but still works. The batteries are kind of an issue it goes through them pretty quickly.

It is a fun toy and alot less annoying then the Elmo. but I would have waited a few months before buying f read more..

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons

TEACHES VOCABUALRLY SINCE EACH CARD HAS DEFINITIONS. MY KIDS 8 & 10 LOVED TO PLAY THIS GAME. SO IF A GOOD READER AGES 6 AND UP CAN PLAY. EXAMPLE OF RED CARDS:"JIM CAREY" COMMEDIAN WHO STARED IN ... EX OF GREEN CARD :"HALARIOUS " VERY FUNNY .... GAVE LESS STARS BECAUSE REMEMBER THIS REQUIRES AT LEAST 4 OR MORE TO PLAY. read more..

Harry Potter Wand with light and sound

This is a fun wand for kids, it makes noise and lights up with movement. My son has been casting spells for weeks, waiting for halloween. My only complaints are that the wand is quite thick; it's more like a branch than a stick! And there is no on/off switch. You have to unscrew the battery case and remove the batteries if the sounds drive you crazy! But it seems sturdy and my son loves it. read more..

Rubik's Revenge Cube 4 X 4

The cube was not built very well at all. I had to put it back together twice before I could solve it without it falling apart. read more..

Playskool Clipo Creativity Table

We bought these for my 2 year old son, and thought that my 4 yr old son would enjoy them also. Although they both loved the Clipo play table with the spinning "gears", they had a lot of trouble interlocking the "blocks", as did my husband and his parents! When you could get them to work, you could build some pretty imaginative things, but we all found them too frustrating. My kids ended up constan read more..

Fisher-Price Pixar Speedway

This toy does one thing and one thing only....luckily most boys find that one thing pretty cool! Just know that the ramp does not accommodate the die-cast cars--only these tiny plastic ones that come with it. My other realization was that there is no on/off switch to the sound effects which are triggered very easily, so I hope you like the phrases "Speed, I am speed!" and "You're one gutsy racer read more..

24" Playmats (set of 4)

I love the floormats, they help my arthritic feet, but I am disgusted with the manufacturer for changing the size/spacing of the interlocking part of the mats. I bought some recently at a local Target store and they will not interlock with the ones I had previously purchased locally and through amazon.com. read more..

MGA Bratz The Movie Mansion

Pirates of the Carribean Tia Dalma Necklace

This purchase was for a Halloween costume and as such the item has not been used fully yet, though I expect it to be durable and everything as required. It was not purchased as a toy, so the standardized review stars are of limited use. read more..

Can't review real well because I purchased it as a Christmast gift for my grandson. read more..

LeapFrog?? Didj Custom Learning Gaming System

This is a good toy in theory. As a homeschooling mom, I was looking forward to an educational game that can track my children's learning. Unfortunately, ever since I purchased it, I have had to deal with bugs from the Leapfrog system. From something as simple as the fact that the program needed, Leapfrog Connect, would not install on my brand new computer. All I kept getting was that my comput read more..

GeoSafari Talking Globe Jr.

Good information for learning but awkward to use since it is not interactive using a probe to touch areas on the Globe to get relevant information. read more..

Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide

I thought this game looked really fun. My kids immediately lost the single player net, and then only played this a couple of times. Easy storage, parts store easily in the main unit. read more..

Doodle Pro Glow

My daughter received as a present at 3 years old. It was frustrating to have to scrub the screen constantly and dry it and then of course the markers that stain.
So I took away the markers.
I gave her a bottle of cheap lotion and a paint brush and also let her finger paint with the lotion.
She would use a damp wash cloth to wipe it down herself and start all over.
Although read more..

Ultimate LEGO Building Set

For the most part this was a good toy. I got this for my 5 year-old on his birthday, but most of the pieces are a little too complex for him. Also, the base plate Lego that you build Legos on is way too small (may 3" X 3") to build things one. Lastly, the pamphlet shows great ideas on what you can build with the Legos, but only SHOWS you how to make about 10 of them. read more..

Playskool Busy Poppin' Pals (Colors May Vary)

my daughter is 15 months old and has enjoyed this toy since she was 9 months old. It just seems to never get old to pop open the animal characters and close them up agian just to pop them open again. but she loves it. read more..
