Play-doh Burger Builder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me go on record right now as saying that I am not a huge Play Doh fan. I love the concept of Play Doh, and will absolutely agree that my children love playing with it, but I hate cleaning up after it and I hate when my children mix colors together. Another thing that really annoys me are the toys that you can get to go with the Play Doh. Most of the toys that we've had either break apart quickly, are basically worthless to play with, or are both!
This one, however, was a bit different. We purchased it for Christmas and it got played with the day after. And the day after that. And the day after that. And if you have children, that should tell you something. Of course my children love the toy because it's simply fun to play with. Who doesn't love to make burgers and fries? And let me get sidetracked for a moment - the chip maker? Simply genius. Not only does it actually work, slicing chips beautifully, but it is also fairly easy to clean, which is a miracle in the world of Play Doh toys!
The only reason I gave this four stars is because some of the colors of the Play Doh I'm guessing would be difficult to find - like the dark brown for the burger and the light brown for the buns. But they can always make purple burgers and orange buns and label it alien food, so I'm not too worried about not being able to find the colors. All in all? A great Play Doh toy that even people who don't like Play Doh toys will enjoy.

Melissa & Doug Magnetic Chalk Dry Erase Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Looks like an ideal gift for preschoolers, but after purchasing this for my niece, I realize it has significant limitations.
First - the good: It's a chalkboard, a whiteboard, and has magnetic alphabet letters - what more would you want for your 3 or 4 year old? Plenty here to keep your child occupied doing all kinds of different, creative things.
Now, the bad: First, there isn't a place to put the marker and the chalk when not in use. Not too bad if your kiddo is sitting on the kitchen floor, but can be a disaster if he or she is sitting on the carpet. The natural inclination of children is to set everything down (even if the marker top is off - which it usually is). This also becomes a problem if your artist has just drawn a wonderful picture on the whiteboard side and flips it over to draw with chalk on the other side (whiteboard side face down on carpet - you get the picture). Yikes!
Second, the age range mentioned above is for 3 - 6 year olds - which I think is stretching it by a few years. Most 5 and 6 year olds are already in school and aren't satisfied with just playing with the magnetic letters. They are much more interested in making words to show mom and dad, and find it frustrating when they only have one of each letter. The letters also disappear all over the house, showing up on many magnetic surfaces - significantly reducing the ability to make any words at all.
Another note of caution - don't expect to use this in the car. Seems like a great idea, but it is a little large for that, and as there isn't a storage space for the accesssories - they all end up going between the car seats - argh!
I know this review seemed mostly negative which wasn't what I really intended - but I felt parents should be aware of some of the negatives, as well as the positives, before purchasing!
