Haba Pyramid Review

Haba Pyramid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My sons are into building things - legos, standard unit blocks and anything they can get their hands on. They do like this set and didn't even need to look at the instructions to build the outside. Because of the odd dimensions of these Haba blocks, they cannot be integrated into other structures and thus put a limit of creativity. If the dimensions are consistent with standard unit blocks, they will get taken out more often to play. Also, this set has just enough blocks to make the pyramid in the picture, so there is no way to close the pyramid's "door". Could be better, but this is the only pyramid blocks we have found...

Fisher-Price Steel Force Dump Truck Review

Fisher-Price Steel Force Dump Truck
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I searched many stores and the internet to find my son his first dump truck for my 12mth old. I wanted something that would be appropriate for his age (not all metal) but something that wasn't entirely rubber. This is a great dump truck. It is very durable. Looks great. He loves to fill up the back and dunp it out.

Green Toys Dump Truck Review

Green Toys Dump Truck
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My daughter saved her allowance for this truck, and we were thrilled to find it on Amazon for 35% off the list price, so we really got a great deal on it. In fact we bought two - the other as a gift for our friends' son.
Let me say first: I love Green Toys. I love that they are a US-based company that recycles and makes really cool simple toys that are 100% safe. And I love the classic chunky-style of this dump truck.
However, I think it's ridiculous that the wheels don't roll on hardwood floors (our house is all hardwood floors, save for a couple area rugs). It's a notch better on the rugs, and outdoors in the grass. The wheels still seem reluctant to turn, even on terrain they can grip on. This seems like such an obvious design flaw. Didn't they test drive the dump truck before mass-producing it? I mean, we're talking wheels and an axle here, it's not rocket science.
We decided to keep it anyway, or rather my daughter did. It was her purchase, after all. She doesn't seem to mind terribly sliding it around indoors. It gets the most use in the sandbox anyway.
I guess if I had to buy it again, heck, I probably would... at least if it were on sale again. Who knows, we might add the recycle truck to the collection despite the fact I suspect it would have the same flaw... if it goes on sale. I guess it comes down to this: Do you want a safe toy? Or one that works? OK, I want both. Maybe I'll disassemble the thing and see if there's an easy fix.
In summation, this is definitely not Green Toys' best effort.

Green Toys Sand Play Set Review

Green Toys Sand Play Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We found these and got them 2 weeks before a vacation. Great price to begin with. This set is bullet proof. The gauge of the plastic is very thick. These will not crack like most if not all other play sets. The rake tines will give slightly but won't snap or crack. The shovel is stiff for digging. Plus they have a little nub for thumbs to help push or pull. The bucket is VERY sturdy. The castle is equally strong. We had loads of fun using this on the beach. Other children on the beach wanted to play with them. Reluctantly my girls let them ;). Cust service from Green Toys equally great. We lost the rake to the Atlantic, we got home and emailed Green Toys on how to buy a new one. They send a replacement free of charge and some little extras.
You will not be disappointed with this set, based on it construction, if you don't lose a piece or two. It will last you for a long, long time.UPDATE 5/2010
Just wanted to update this review. My girls are 3 years older and so is their play set. They are scratched up like any producted used in sand. BUT the color has not faded and NOT one crack any where. Even the rope used for the bucket is good to go. Now we left them out two winters and garaged the other one. BUT if not for the scratches the look good as new.

My 14 month old loves these little cars. I bought them because I love that they are made of recycled rubber wood! My daughter enjoys her Plan Toys doll house as well. These products are great! The little rubber wheels work well. They are very kid friendly and don't hurt him when he puts it up to his mouth like other metal cars can. Love them.

Ecotronics Eco Mic Review

Ecotronics Eco Mic
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If I had known, if anywhere it had been written, that this toy will relentlessly play "Pop Goes the Weasel" when the blue button is pushed, and that once it starts it won't stop until it's through, I would not have purchased it. It's a shame because otherwise it's a great toy - no batteries ever needed (unfortunate only because of the "Pop Goes the Weasel" feature), very sturdy, the amplifying aspect of the microphone is fine. I appreciate the minimal packaging and somewhat ecologically sound approach. I hate being held hostage by that annoying tune.
I am updating this review to report that the toy has broken after two months of normal use. So much for "eco" - now it is a hunk of plastic headed for the landfill. I have tried to adjust the "star rating" for "durability" to one star, although it doesn't seem to reflect my changes when published. Avoid.

Ecotronic Toys are planet friendly techno fun. Did you know there are billions of batteries sold in the US every year many of them for toys but only about 1% of them are recycled? The rest end up in our landfills and are poisoning our planet. The world's resources are diminishing quickly and we can't afford this kind of waste, financially or ecologically. But you know what? Energy doesn't have to cost anything. Ecotronic Toys bring electronic lights and sound to toys without the need to use traditional batteries. How's that work? Part of the fun of Ecotronic toys is actually bringing them to life. Give it a shake or wind it up. The energy used to perform these simple motions gets converted to electrical energy by dynamo technology. This is then used to power the toy. The best part about Ecotronic Toys - they never run out of juice.

Green Toys Tea Set Review

Green Toys Tea Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been on a mission to find the best tea set for my daughter. Well, this it! Fantastic quality, it is made from recycled milk jugs, the plastic is nice and thick. A bonus is that it meets FDA regulations so you can actually drink from the set without worrying about absorbing some crazy chemicals. The lids on the teapot and sugar jar are great because they are interchangeable, they stay on when you pour the tea, and yet they are easy for little hands to take off and put on. The packaging is also nice, it is three pieces of recycled cardboard, and one rubber band holding the spoons together. So easy to open! No tape or twist ties! And we can recycle the cardboard, and the rubber band is biodegradable. Wonderful! Oh, and the best part? MADE IN THE USA!!! My daughter absolutly loves this tea set, and has been playing with it like crazy. WAAAYY better than the annoying musical tea set out there, she didn't even want to play with that one.

My little boy loves drums and especially likes watching marching band drummers. As soon as he got the wrapping paper off enough to see the picture on the box, he was thrilled with this gift. He loves strapping on this drum, marching around the house, and banging it to his heart's delight! It is sturdy and sounds great. I like how the material is stretchy and thick-- makes me feel sure he won't break it or tear it. I recommend it highly!
