Melissa and Doug Basic Skills Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the basic skills board to help my 3-year-old learn to tie, snap, zip, clip, button and buckle. It's a bust. He doesn't use it because the functions aren't secured to the base. It's difficult to teach these skills when they're not stationary. And it's large, heavy and cumbersome for him. Being a puzzle just adds to the confusion of its function. I'm going to glue the pieces into place and mount the board to a wall. I think this will turn it into an investment rather than a waste of $[...].

LeapFrog Leapster TV Learning System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have had this product for a little over a month and the Leapster TV is a great product for people who purchased the Leapster before the L-Max. The kids love playing their game library on the TV. It is nice being able to see what they are learning on the big screen. I love the fact that it is compatible with every Leapster cartridge ever made. The controls are a little different from that of the Leapster heandheld but my son was able to adjust much faster than I was. You have the opton of one or two players and there is an additional slot to expand the unit to use two controllers. Overall, this is a good value and we have had a lot of fun with it.

The Farmer Says Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The recommended age for See 'n Say is 18 months, but we bought it anyway. Our seven-month old recently started enjoying animal noises we'd make for him. I tried this toy for him in the store and was greeted with the same smile and giggle we got from quacking like a duck for him at home. He is probably far from learning how to pull the handle himself, but we do it for him and he watches with delight. Each night, we read him a few stories before bed and we use See 'n Say the Farmer Says as if it were a book. We hold it in front of my son and pull the handle a few times to hear animal sounds and he thinks he just heard a fabulous tale.
This toy has a half ring that can be flipped back and forth to display different animals. There are 16 animals, which are named and make their individual sounds when the handle is pulled. There is also a song sticker that plays Old MacDonald had a Farm or The Farmer in the Dell. And there is a quiz sticker that asks you to find the animal based on the name of the animal or its sound. The farmer is on an arrow in the middle and you point it toward whichever sticker you want and then pull the handle.
I only have two minor complaints with this toy. The handle sometimes sticks on the way back up and makes a soft grinding sound. Also, the volume is a bit loud and there is no volume control button. Overall, it's a great toy.

The classic learning toy is better than ever. Shaped like a barn, See 'n Say teaches your child about 16 different animals and features two unique flipping pages. Kids can point the arrow and pull the lever, then flip the page for more animals to choose from. There is also a new quiz mode. It plays "Old MacDonald" and "Farmer in the Dell" melodies. It requires 3 AA alkaline batteries, which are included.
