For Use with the Read with Me DVD System - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Review

For Use with the Read with Me DVD System - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Read with Me DVD helps kids with letter recognition, matching lower and upper case letters together! It also emphasizes rhyming, which is an important pre-reading awareness. My daughters and I found out about Chicka Chicka Boom Boom from Blue's Clues, so when this showed up Christmas morning, they were so excited. My almost four-year-old daughter understood how to use this toy with only minimal instruction from me. She watched the dvd "read" the book to her, and then she chose to play games based on the book she had just read. It is very interactive, educational, mesmerizing and entertaining. She will play with this for 30 min-1 hour, asking me questions every now and then. She likes that she controls what happens, whether it's just reading or playing the games. She asks to play this when she wants to be a "big" kid. She thinks she's playing video games, just like Dad!

Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder Review

Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was delighted to find out the magnets from the Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter set also work with this! So if you have both, you can spell out double lettered words (such as "dad" and "mom" (and it is programmed to read those words, as well!)
The only problems we've been having with it are related to the tinny sound. The Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter set sounded nice, but the Word Whammer sound quality is poorer. I know I had a hard time telling "Find the 'F'" from "Find the 'S'". Lucky for us adults, if we know what word it wants us to spell, we know which letter, but it confounds the kids.
If it weren't for the sound quality the toy would be *perfect*. It is really well designed, and very effective at keeping the kid's interest long enough for them not to realize they're learning while they're having fun. If you don't mind needing to translate what the machine said every so often, I highly recommend this.

Scientific TALK 'N LEARN SCHOOL BUS (WITH TRY ME) Review

Scientific TALK 'N LEARN SCHOOL BUS (WITH TRY ME)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this toy for my 26-month-old son for Christmas. He loves buses. He likes the music and the flashing lights on this bus. However it is difficult to press the buttons. It took me a while to figure out how to turn it on. There is an "On" sticker in one of the windows of the bus. However it doesn't look like a button. I pressed it several times and it didn't do anything, so I assumed it was just a decal. I then pressed it really hard and it turned on. My son sometimes has trouble with it. He'll keep pressing the "On" window over and over, and because his fingers are small and doesn't hit the exact location of the button, it doesn't turn on. He'll then bring it to me to do. The buttons on the side and top also have to be pressed with a little force in order for it to speak or make the sounds. When it does work my son loves it. I just wish it was a little easier for small children to operate.

Little People A To Z Learning Zoo Playset Review

Little People A To Z Learning Zoo Playset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My three-year-old loves animals, so this seemed like it would be perfect for her. So far, it's been better than I imagined. It helps her practice her animal names & sounds, she gets to practice her ABCs & match up the letters to their names. Even the picture that was on the back of the box has become a learning toy. She has us read the names of the animals to her over & over again. We ask her which one starts with "J," for example, and we've made a game out of matching them up.
