(More customer reviews)My son got this as a gift.....he just loves taking the little animals out and trying to make them sing! I find it very educational too, it teaches them what animal makes each sound! Very cute!

This fun animal band allows a preschool to create their own music. Decide which instrument the animals will play, and who the "singer" will be: cow, chicken, sheep or pig. Kids will have a great time moving the animals from instrument to instrument, and each animal has its own unique "voice" when placed at the microphone! Plays four classic preschool songs: "Old McDonald", "B-I-N-G-O", "The Farmer in the Dell" and "If You're Happy and You Know It

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.

Step2 Real Projects Workshop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little workshop has got to be one of the cutest toys! I bought it for my daycare - but my 17 month old daughter loves playing with it too! The screwdriver "works" with batteries, and it comes with several other tools. I also love all of the foam "wood" pieces. Although my daughter doesn't understand what to do with them, she still thoroughly enjoys playing with them. She also really likes putting things in the pullout drawer. Assembly is pretty quick - although the holes are not pre-drilled for the 4 big screws. But pre-drilling them myself was no problem.
The ONLY downfall is that the foam blocks don't stay together that well. They can be put together, but are easily pulled apart through light playing. But overall, I would not say that's a big deal. I'm sure kids will enjoy playing with it no matter what!

Learning Resources Pretend and Play Tape Measure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son loves to help my husband around the house. I had the hardest time keeping him away from the real tape measure and then found this tape measure online. Now I just have to say, get your own 'measure' (as he calls it) and there is no more fighting. It's safe and is long enough that he feels he is actually helping daddy. Last night he told me 'look mommy, I am counting too' Great toy.

Step2 Soft and Sturdy Grid Lock Blocks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 4 year old son received these for Christmas this year. Within about 3 minutes he had built a birdhouse and then a boat with the blocks.
The block fit together well and the assembled shapes hold together well. The variety of shapes is not the greatest (no circles, for example) but they do provide a lot of fun.

Fisher-Price Disney's Handy Manny Ripp Chain Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dad and Grandpa had wood to cut with their chain saws so this seemed like a natural and it truly was a hit. It's well made, comes with the batteries installed. It's as real as you want to get for a three year old who was happy to use it all day. The "chain" is rounded, soft plastic that rotates realistically. Manny is a familiar character. It's loud enough to hear and understand, but the noise level is tolerable, at least for a couple of hours... then when Manny says "let's cut some more wood" you don't know whether to laugh or cry...laughing works best.

Melissa & Doug Wooden Project Workbench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is of the same excellent quality we have come to expect from Melissa & Doug toys. 100% all wood construction, very sturdy and hopelessly fun! This mom was able to assemble it all by herself in 45 minutes and handy she is not. My son loves this work bench and I love that there is no noise, batteries, or electronic doo-dads, just pure old-fashioned imaginative fun. I did give it 5 stars but my only complaint is I wish this toy was made in the U.S.A. For the price paid it seems the company should be able to employ American workers and I would gladly pay more for them to do so.
