Let's Go Fishin Review

Let's Go Fishin
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To clear up a few things: 1) The game uses 1 C battery, not 2 AAs. 2) There is no music as stated in the product description. 3) The fishing pole and fish are not magnetic as in other, smaller, wind-up versions of this game.
My biggest complaints are that it spins a little too fast, which means that the fish don't keep their mouths open for very long. And because the fishing pole is two plastic pieces with a small cone/cup shaped plastic knob (which is only a little smaller than the fish's mouths) instead of a magnet on a string as in the small, wind-up versions, catching fish isn't all that easy. It's not terribly hard, as I got the hang of it in a few minutes, but it's definitely not as easy as in the magnetic versions.
Lastly, the reason some people have trouble putting the game back into its box is because some of the fish are still in their "up" positions (sticking up, with their mouths open). You just need to rotate it manually until all fish are in their "down" positions. But be sure to only rotate it the way the thing normally rotates, though, otherwise you might damage it.
Also, I saw this at Target for less money.

The action fishing game where players try for the biggest catch! Each player has a separate fishing pole with plastic bait at the end of the line. As the fish open their mouths, carefully lower your line into the fish's mouth, catching it as it takes the bait! Requires 1 size C battery (not included). For 1 to 4 players.

I was so happy to find that the Etch a Sketch is still available. I thought it was a toy of the past. I bought one for my coffee table at home and everyone that comes over plays with it and reminisces. It's a great toy for all ages - especially for creatives.

Don't Break the Ice Review

Don't Break the Ice
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Games for small children are notoriously hard to come by. "Don't Break the Ice" is one of the few available and a classic in its own right.
My young son loves this game and we play all sorts of variations including moving the main ice piece that holds the bear to different places so we can experiment with the "physics" of the game. (So there is a true educational element.) We also try to put the ice pieces back in the frame using different patterns of insertion. This helps kill the time factor in getting the game pieces ready to play.
With its minimum of rules anyone can pick this game up in a minute. It's fun and can be played by "kids" of all ages. Given its low price, it's a no miss. Even if little children get more fun out of making the bear fall than not, so what? Think of it as a more versatile "hammer & peg bench" toy.
There are some durability issues. If one of the tabs that hold the ice breaks, you are out of luck. The frame consists of two pieces that slide together and the connection is prone to breakage. Still, at this price point it's a lot easier to replace than many of the fragile toys that cost far more. In fact you could buy every toy in the Milton Bradley "Cootie" line and still be under the cost of just one other plastic toy.
A good bet for a good price.

Goldilocks Felt Set Review

Goldilocks Felt Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I remembered these sets being used when I was child at Sunday School and they are still the same. My granddaughter loves to tell story with characters. Goldilocks and The Three Bears was my first purchase from Kaplan,but I plan on buying more stories. My granddaughter is planning on taking her set to school for show and tell. I am going to have to check and see if there is easel or some type of story board so the set may be laid out on a firm surface.

Classic Wooden Tic-Tac-Toe Game Board Review

Classic Wooden Tic-Tac-Toe Game Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Love, Love, Love Melissa and Doug products. When you order Melissa and Doug you know you will be getting a quality product. This board is larger than what I thought it would be - so check out the size. My kids love to compete with one another to see who can make tic-tac-toe first. Product is durable and has an old time feel and look. High-Quality. Check out their other game boards- we have Pick up Sticks, Mancala, Jacks in a Box, and Marbles and I would recommend them all.

Basic Fun Two Tone Television Review

Basic Fun Two Tone Television
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted to buy the two tune tv for my grandson as I remembered how much my children enjoyed theirs. This one, which is made in China, is very poor quality. I don't know how long it will last. It skips and struggles just to play the tunes and the picture roll kind of jerks along..... Also, the music box is "plinky" sounding instead of being a lilting melody. It's disappointing and sad that our formerly wonderful products are just not what they used to be.

Introduced in 1966, the Fisher-Price Two Tune Music Box TV has been stimulating the eyes and ears of children for generations. Two classic melodies play while charming pictures scroll across the screen. Just as the original, the Fisher-Price Classics Two Tune Music Box TV recreates the sweet allure of Row, Row, Row Your Boat and London Bridge is Falling Down. Ages 12 mos. and up.
