Pretend and Play Work Belt Tool Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My nearly 3-year-old daughter received this as a gift - toy tools were requested because of her interest in Daddy's real ones. This set does not disappoint. From her "Oh my gosh!" upon opening the gift to playing with it every day it has been a winner. Daddy is especially impressed too.
The pieces are sturdy. They come apart and hold together where they are supposed to. The tape measure only allows measuring up to 24 inches, but it retracts well from being pulled all the way out. The drill drills "holes" in the piece of "wood", and it works Forward and Backward to screw and un-screw the nuts and bolts. The handles come off the two screw drivers to allow the phillips and flat head to attach to the working drill, allowing another way to work the screws into and out of the "wood". The hammer is solid but light, so it works well on the plastic nails but can't hurt any more than any other toy if used against someone. ;) The wrench and pliers have yet to see much use, but both seem like they will hold up to the use. The tool belt can't tighten enough to stay on my daughter's skinny waist, so it is sitting in the tool box waiting for another day. However, we fit all the pieces nicely onto it when trying it out the first day. The case itself is another sturdy piece. It holds all the pieces with extra room (we took the white plastic packaging out so all the pieces are tossed in there together).
This is a very inclusive set of tools for younger kids - boys or girls. I can see it being interesting up to at least age 5. Overall, a very good bet for a toddler/preschooler tool set.

Imaginext Adventures Dragon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for my 2 year old son. My oldest boy loves knights and dragons, but my 2 yr old cannot really play with some of his toys. I love Imaginext because there are no real small parts and it creates durable, reasonably priced toys that get their imaginations going. This dragon has a button that allows your child to make it flap it's wings and another to make it "chomp" and it can move its arms legs and tail. All three of my kids loved playing with it (even my 4 yr old daughter). Most of all my 2 year old can play with my oldest together with these and seeing them all playing together makes me very happy.

Train Ramp Pack Review

(More customer reviews)We got the ramps to be use with our basic GeoTrax rail and road system pack. The were greater than we expected, as different hights of ramps can be built and a variety of train systems can be built in conjunction to the tracks we already had. Our 2 1/2 year old has been playing every single day with it for almost two months :-) He is also able to built new tracks by himself.

i-play Leaping Frogs Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a speech therapist and work with young children. As a result, I am always looking for toys that are unique and can be adapted for many different activities. This toy definitely fits this description. All of the children who have played the game loved it. However, with the number of children I know will play with this game, I do not know how long the frog trampoline will last. It seems a little flimsy.

LeapFrog Leapster 2 Special Edition Star Wars Gift Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased the black Star Wars bundle Leapster 2 from Target. The software loaded perfectly, the SD card worked even though I installed a 512mb instead of the recommended 256 or less, the games downloaded from Leapfrog's website easily.
I wonder how many of the issues others have had with the software are due to the increased Christmas holiday traffic on Leapfrog's Website? Not sure, but our Leapster 2 works perfectly. Either Leapfrog is working out and correcting the software bugs, or we got lucky with a good device. Either way, we are very pleased with the Leapster 2.
The games that you download are very simple and best suited for pre-k age kids (number recognition, shoot the number 8, etc...) The graphics are basic, not the super detailed graphics of other hand held gaming systems. However,totally acceptable for the younger child. The Leapster 2 is a nice balance between gaming and educational content for a young child. I think it definitely fits the advertised age range, 4-8, beyond that kids are looking for something 'cooler.'

Jr. Astronaut Launch/Entry Spacesuit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is by far the best Halloween costume I have purchased. It is a great fit for my almost 5 year old and looks authentic. It is costly but seems to be a good value, given the quality construction and details. I also bought the space helmet and returned it, since it is too big and has few features.

Playskool Swing 'N Score Baseball Review

Melissa & Doug Wooden Take Along Tool Kit (24pc) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 2 year old Bob the Builder fan. It is difficult to use the toolbox to hammer into, but if you turn it on it's side your builder can hammer all day long. It's a little tight at first, but after you hammer a couple of nails and pull them out it gets easier. I like this toolbox because its a little more difficult for little hands. My son has to really think about hitting the nails and turning the wrench and screwdriver, but he can do it. This set looks real and my son loves that. If he sees his daddy using tools he will go get his tools so he can help. Some kids might get frustrated with it, but I think that it's teaching fine motor skills.
We love it

DC Comics Boys Trio Action Set Dress Up Trunk Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 3 yr old son LOVES this set. He and his sister dress up like Batman and Robin everyday. He doesn't use the shin guards though and they are just taking up space in his trunk. The fabric is a little cheap and I am afraid to wash it for fear that the design will disappear, but he is getting great use out of it and it is a lot of fun. The capes are a little long and I worried at first that they would get caught or pulled, but they haven't yet so it hasn't been an issue for us.
I would recommend this set to any little boy or girl who loves to dress up and loves superheroes.

Snap 'N Style Babies - Bathtime For Kira Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These Snap N Style dolls are perfect for little girls. The only flaw I have noticed with these dolls is that the paint chips off the dolls' bottoms rather easily. My child is not rough with her toys yet each doll has at least one small paint chip. Otherwise, a great toy! If buying any of these dolls for a two year old little girl she will love them.
Important note! Buy from Fisher Price directly before spending [...] here. They are great dolls but if you can get them for [...] why spend this much. Yikes! This is ridiculously over priced!!!

Fisher-Price Imaginext Big Foot The Monster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son got this for his 4th birthday. He was THRILLED to get it, and couldn't wait to get it home and start playing with it. He even tried to take it to bed the first night!
The first few days, he played with it repeatedly throughout the day. After a few days, he tired of it. He still enjoys the remote control aspect, but only uses it for 5 minutes or so at a time.
Pros: The BigFoot can do some pretty neat stuff, especially to a 4-year old boy! With the touch of a button, he roars, flips, burps, yells and throws a ball. The first time my son had him flip, he thought it was amazing and couldn't wait to do it over and over again. The remote is also easy to operate, and has just enough buttons to make it interesting and not overly complicated for the age group.
Cons: Some of the actions are not performed quite as smoothly or easily as on the commercials. For instance, to get the BigFoot to throw the ball, you have to place the ball just so, and hope the mechanical thumb closes around it. If it doesn't lock or close tight enough, the ball just falls right back out. Also, the ball doesn't really get thrown so much as dropped with style. Still entertaining for a 4-year old, but only after many, many frustrating efforts getting the ball to stick. Another con is the sheer size/weight of the toy. When it flips over or falls backwards, it lands with a boom. My son used it in a bedroom with laminate wood floor, and there is now a little chip in the floor from the BigFoot landing with such force. It makes odd mechanical noises when it breaths and moves its arms in resting mode, and when it moves around. This makes it a little hard to hear it talk at times, over the whirring. Lastly, and this is the one that my son wishes were different - it only moves backwards and forwards, not side to side. If you're trying to steer it around the room, good luck!
Overall, it's a pretty darned neat toy. For the money, I wish they'd made it more maneuverable and fixed the ball throwing.

Automoblox T9 Truck Green by Automoblox Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Automoblox truck for my grandson's 4th birthday. It has an instant hit. He liked that he could take the truck apart and put together another combination.
The truck body is actually 3 parts, the front end, the truck cab(body) and the truck bed, joined together by very easy to use bright green plugs. The truck puts together as shown in the images, or the cab can be eliminated to make a cute little "buggy".
This toy is very sturdy and appears to be well designed and engineered. I'll be checking with my grandson to see how well his Automoblox truck is holding up to daily play. The Automoblox information says that each Automoblox model is interchangeable with other models. So, if this model is holding up well, I will be ordering at least one of the other models for Christmas.
Caution for those with smaller children who still like to eat their toys; there are wooden people who plug into the inside of the truck cab, the toy loses very little play appeal if you tuck those away until the eating urge passes.
The only downside I can think of is that the price was a bit high. However, it does come in a very sturdy cardboard box that seems designed to create the image of an heirloom toy. I can see that happening. All in all, if the toy holds up as it appears it is designed to do, that is money well spent.

Learning Resources Pretend and Play Tape Measure Review

Last night he told me 'look mommy, I am counting too' Great toy.

Vtech - V.Smile Adapter Review

Size O and size N will both seem to fit in the V-Smile, but only size N really fits. [...] It is Catalog # 273-1767. It works fine for the V-Smile. Good Luck to all and of course you can use the adapter for other V-tech products. Just bring it to radioshack and you can try all the various plugs to see which one you need.

Star Wars Child's Darth Vader Costume and Accessory Kit Review

One week later the light no longer works and it's not the batteries, but the connection with the switch.

Sequence for Kids Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is the best. I tell all of my friends to BUY it for every kid on the list. The game can be played as the directions state or a variation. For the older child play memory or matching. My 2 year old loves to group the colors, simply identify the animals or sound, and match the cards to the board. This is my six year olds favorite game and has been since he received it for his 3rd birthday. Best of all it can be quickly replayed if the wrong person(mom) wins the game. The whole family will enjoy.Strategy, memory, and fun!!! As far as i can tell Toys R Us is the only place to buy this great game.
