12 Vinyl Dinosaur Characters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these as a favor for a two year old's birthday party. They are a great squishy, cartoonish, rubber ducky-like toy. The picture represents really well the style and quality of what you will get, and shows each style dinosaur. Three of each style come in the package. The only downside to these dino's is their size. The size is accurate in the description but when you see it in person you quickly realize how a willful 2 year old could probably shove the whole thing in their mouth and choke on it. It even says on the bag they come in, "Not intended for children under 3 years". Considering the product is a rubber cartoon dino, I feel it's marketed at the under 3 set and could have been made just a touch bigger to eliminate any question of a choking hazard. The size I really feel is boderline, so some parents may think they are fine and some won't and it probably depends just as much on the individual child. It's just a shame there has to be a question on this otherwise adorable little toy.

Animal Planet Soft Dinosaur Playset - 10 Piece Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our son received this set as a birthday gift for his 3rd birthday. He and his 5 yr old sister love playing with it and it is one of the most played with toys in the house. The pieces are sturdy with the exception of the tree. Within the first two days, all of the branches had snapped off due to their flimsy attachment. The only thing holding them on are very thin metal rods which snap if accidentally stepped on or if the child bends them at all. Neither of our kids are necessarily rough with their toys. The tree branches just snapped off during regular play. All in all, not a huge deal but irritating. The kids still love to play with it and it is by far one of their most favorite toys.

Fisher-Price? Roll-a-Rounds? Drop & Roar? Dinosaur Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was awaiting the release of this toy. He loves his blocks and block toys but none of the roll-a-rounds toys were his type. So he had about 25 balls but no toy to go with them. This looked perfect! He enjoys it but not like I thought he would (he LOVES balls). Here are my problems with it.
(1) The middle hole, it drops down to make the pendulum swing and more then half of the time, the ball gets stuck at that point.
(2) The balls get stuck coming out of that hole as well...
(3) The head comes off real easily and its never on the toy (he takes it off every time especially since its easy to get off)
(4) kind of boring... thought there would be a spiral slide of some variety as kids love that.
(5) music & lights are nothing special either.
I usually LOVE FP toys and we own sooo many. I am happy with my incredi-table and with the wagon for the blocks. This one just wasn't worth t he money.

UPDATE: 11/06/2008
Well, we're on boy #3 that is using this toy. It's held up extremely well and even my oldest plays with it still. The balls still get stuck... now there is a whole other element to getting stuck as they loves to put their cars in it (down the slide through teh mouth, down the block-slide...). Guess it was worth the money after all (and not what it's listed here as..)

Educational Insights GeoSafari Classroom Dinosaur Dig Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 6 year old's science project. We followed the included directions and performed the excavating of this Tyrannosaurus Rex. Things learned: Examining Teeth, Understanding Skeletons, Excavating and assembling the Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. It was raining the day we were going to do the dig. I decided to do the dig on our dining room table. I used play sand to cover the skeleton and then brought my son in to do the dig. This worked well and wasn't as messy as I thought would be. It's a fun activity and the model is designed to be taken apart and reused. The base of the model is a little unstable if you are planing to transport this to school like we did. I had to put a few extra screws in the 3 part base to keep the model firm so that we could transport it to the classroom.
