LeapFrog AlphaPet Explorer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My niece is two and loves this toy. She plays for hours at a time and likes to mimic the sounds. I always buy educational toys and feel that Leapfrog has toys for all ages and children learn as they play. How can you beat that? If you want your child to be entertained and learn at the same time BUY THIS TOY!

LeapFrog Text and Learn Review

LeapFrog Text and Learn
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I have long been a fan of LeapFrog Products and both of my children have benefited greatly from their innovative and highly educational products.
I bought this item yesterday and my 4-year-old loves it. We spent some time working on a few of the games and going through all of the letters and it does not disappoint. She was laughing out loud at some of the rhyming words for the letters and she feels like she has a BlackBerry like me, which is hilarious.
It also has the real QWERTY keyboard which is great since they will need to become familiar with it for real life.
I've given this company a lot of my hard earned cash over the last nine years but it has been worth it and all of the products can be passed down to other children.
This is one for the holiday gift list.

FISHER-PRICE Games MATCHIN' MIDDLES Review

FISHER-PRICE Games MATCHIN' MIDDLES
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This toy is fun, educational, theraputic, and inexpensive. My autistic daughter first played with this when her early interventionist brought it. All of the other reviews on this toy are right on! I bought this for her to keep at home, it was so great. There are many ways to play with this. You can use it as a puzzle to match the shapes and put the cookies together. You can play memory with them. My daughter is now too old for them to use in these ways, so she plays "tea party" with them! How's that for toy mileage! I was surprised to see them in "vanilla". (Ours were chocolate like Oreos) Neat! This toy is for everyone, whether the children have special needs or not. I hope this review helps.

Giraffalaff Limbo Review

Giraffalaff Limbo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our 5yr old is TOTALLY into animals and wanted an eco-friendly, animal rescue birthday party. So we had a travelling zoo come visit during his party while she educated the kids about abandoned or abused exotic animals & insects and for our obstacle course, we hung a disc swing from a tree and placed toy alligators on the ground for the kids to 'swing over the alligator swamp', taped pictures of Go Diego Go's BO-BO brothers on empty plastic bottles and had them bowl with a soccer ball to knock them down. The HUGE hit (besides the zoo lady and animals) was this Giraffalaff Limbo. We had kids from 4-8yrs old excited to play this game. Unfortunately this was too small for the 7 and 8yr olds as they kept knocking the limbo bar off but the younger kids from 4-6yrs old LOVED it and played it over and over again. It worked exactly like it was supposed to and prompted a lot of smiles, laughs and giggles. There is a button that you push on the bar, then someone else spins the arrow and tells the crowd which sort of walk you have to try to do under the bar...ie: backwards walk, crab walk, crawl, etc. I still chuckle at the thought of my little one doing his 'crab walk' and 'bird walk'...for his crab walk, he had pinchers for his hands and fingers and simply walked under, all the kids flapped their arms for the bird walk...some chirped, one jutted his neck out like a chicken...it was the cutest thing.
It SEEMS like the poles will break at some point because they are made with that hard type of plastic but so far, they've been knocked down, used as a toy gun, been stepped on accidentally by (little) kids and SO FAR it's held up but I don't see it lasting much longer due to the type of plastic...it IS loads of fun though and if you can get it at a fair price, I'd say to definitely nab it for a bunch of laughs and giggles. I do wish that it were just a bit taller though so older kids can play along with younger kids so we'd get more use out of it but it's a blast for the younger crowd.

How low can you go? Find out in this crazy, laughter-inducing limbo game that features Giraffalaff. Spin the spinner and let it tell you which of the 6 ways (classic limbo, crabwalk, crawl, giraffe walk, forward, and backward) you have to limbo. But don't bump into Giraffalaff.If you do, you'll have him rolling on the floor in laughter. The player who has passed under Giraffalaff at the lowest level wins.

Chutes and Ladders Diego Edition Review

Chutes and Ladders Diego Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We love this Diego edition of Chutes and Ladders. My son is four and he does a pretty good job following the directions.. the only befuddling part is a long standing function of chutes and ladders, moving back and forth (changing directions at each level) across the board. It confuses my poor little sprout every time, especially if he goes up a ladder and is suddenly going the same way he was before instead of the opposite, like he would if he hadn't hit a ladder. lol. In any event, it's super and the characters are adorable and the board is adorable.

I got this toy for my daughters first birthday. She loves the sounds and lights. Her older brother, who is almost 4, loves to use it to pretend. I love that it doesn't have small parts that could get lost, and it seems very durable. The kids have dropped it, thrown it, and it has probably been stood on, yet it is still in great condition with no broken parts.

Melissa & Doug Sandwich Stacking Games Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We used this game at our Harvest Fest this year. The quality of the sandwich pieces held up to several hundred kids. I appreciated the booklet that came with the cards and durability of the sandwich pieces because it gave us a variety of options. The games can be played by one or several kids. It was a hit and will be used again next year. I'm glad that I ran into this at our local toy store!

Here are ten good reasons to play with your food! These unique activities use 4 bread-shaped gloves, which can self-stick to 14 sandwich filling layers, and 20 sandwich cards. Race to match the sandwich on the picture card in Fast Food or try to toss a sandwich filling onto a bread glove in Service on the Fly. Inspiring children to burn calories while improving memory and matching skills will put fun on the menu every time. Instructions include variations on many of the games to extend the fun.

My 3-year-old just received this game as a birthday gift and we all have been enjoying using the scoop! It is fun pushing the button to see what "flavor" is going to show up when you pull the scoop out of the "ice cream" container! The scoop itself is great and the "scoops of ice cream" look so yummy--good for working on matching skills and differentiately between things that are similar! I plan to buy this for my niece!

Noodleboro Fun Park Sharing Game Review

Noodleboro Fun Park Sharing Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Though the idea of teaching kids to share through a fun game is a great one, this game just doesn't get it quite right. The CD and story book were fun for my kids to listen to but the game itself poses very little challenge. The children just kind of "go through the motions" completing the extremely simple carnival games. There are also tons of tiny pieces required to play the game, bound to get lost at some point.

LeapFrog Scribble and Write Review

LeapFrog Scribble and Write
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got 2 of these for my 4 year old and letter-excited 2 and 1/2 year old. Since the boxes have been opened, they have both been enamored for over an hour. The letter instruction is accurate and straightforward. The eraser is easy to use and the stylus is at least more accurate than the one at Target where I bought these. My 2 year old loves to write letters, so I know it would be a hit for him. But my 4 year old fights writing and drawing, so it's super exciting to see him get all excited about it AND actually write decent looking letters and lines. Get it! You'll be glad you did! Perfect back to school, starting school toy/tool for your youngster!
