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

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!

Pictionary Jr Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One of the games my son got from his Grandma for Christmas was Pictionary Jr. My husband, myself and our son was on one team, and my brother, his girlfriend, and her son was on the other. We were having so much fun that Grandma begged us to play the next game!
When rolling the die and landing on an All Play square (shown by an image of four pencils), the "Picturist" for one team shows the Picturist from the other team the word that matches the color of the square landed upon. BOTH Picturists draw the word and then it's a race as to who draws the picture the fastest. For Single Play (shown by a single pencil), one team rolls the die and sketches until someone on the team does NOT guess the picture.
This game comes with a white side with easier words (for smaller children), while the blue side has more challenging words. For example, the white side of one card may have Bell, Baby, Box, Button and Branch (Starts with "B"), while the blue side will have Team, Goal Post, High Five, Quarterback and Cheerleader (Football Game). Of course, which word is actually drawn depends on which colored square that is landed on.
There are two game pieces and a sand timer. The game comes with two small pencils and a pad of paper, but get this: the pencils aren't even sharpened! They're just pieces of unsharpened wood. Sheesh...they don't make 'em like they used to!
If you like drawing games, Pictionary Jr. is a fun option for the whole family--even for children who can't yet read (they can always guess what the pictures are!). Unfortunately, there needs to be at least 3 players for this game. In the case of 3 players, one person serves as the permanent Picturist for both teams.

Sixty seconds! That's all the time you've got to draw a raccoon, pizza, or bowling ball. Pictionary Junior is the fun-filled game where clues are sketched and teammates have to quickly guess the word. And it's designed especially for kids ages 7 to 12! Each card also has a theme that gives a hint to the word being sketched. You don't have to be an artist to play - all you need is a little imagination and a fast pencil! For 3 or more players. Game includes: game board, die, timer, 144 cards (1,440 words), 2 pencils, 2 playing pieces, pad of paper and instructions.

Read With Me - Giraffe's Can't Dance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for my 6 year old nephew who was adopted from Africa. He is learning English and this is a really sweet story that happens to resonate with him particularly. He is often shy and tentative in his almost all white school and with shaky English skills. This story about a clumsy Giraffe that finds his own music to dance to is so inspiring and hopeful. My feminist sister says it would be good for any kid that feels a little bit different, and for 'normal' kids to look for 'different' kids' special talents. I like the animation which is really good, especially for a children's product. It was a crowd pleasure for everyone and it's broken into managable segments so you can play for as little as 10 minutes or as much as 2 hours. There is a fun play along dance game that brought all of us to our feet after Thanksgiving dinner. We danced for over half an hour kids and adults!
