LeapFrog? Leapster L-Max? Game: Reading Adventure Rock the World Review

LeapFrog? Leapster L-Max? Game: Reading Adventure Rock the World
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this game for my 5-year old who is entering 1st grade in the fall. She's a fine reader but not the best at spelling, which is why I got this game for her. The game is a great way to sneak in some spelling practice and she loves the characters and the little songs that accompany each of the games. I often catch her at odd moments singing the tunes. All in all, I am very happy with this purchase. I just wish there were more game titles for older kids since I also have an 8-year old!

Plastic Magnetic Letters (set of 36) Review

Plastic Magnetic Letters (set of 36)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got these letters because they are like the ones I had growing up and i wanted my daughter to have them. You can buy them cheaper at other places but I got them on Amazon because I was ordering some other things and I got free shipping. Some of the letters fall off the fridge since the magnetic strip is so small and often only on one side of the letter!
I would buy different letters somewhere else.

Konexi -Deluxe Review

Konexi -Deluxe
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Other people have written that this game is like a combination of Scrabble and Jenga (which is largely true) but I want to talk about something else. Beyond the fun game that is described in the rules, the letters of Konexi are attractive objects both to look at and touch. If Konexi is left out on the table, people are naturally attracted to it and start making words and towers. Konexi also makes a great solitaire spelling/balance game. Not only is Konexi a fun game, it is a captivating (and well constructed) toy.

The gravity-defying word game. Konexi is the 3D word-building game that will have you pushing your luck and on the edge of your seat. Take turns adding letters to a teetering tower of words. Go for longer words - upward, downward, or sideways - to score more points. But watch out...the next letter may cause gravity to kick in and a Konexi collapse. It's thrilling fun for the whole family. ZimZala Games A wise person once said, families that play together, stay together. Well crafted board games can bridge generation gaps, build stronger sibling bonds, and provide brain-challenging alternatives to TV and video games. Best of all, games can be wonderful sources of shared laughter and fun-filled memories, for young and old. ZimZala Games are designed for older kids and those who are still kids at heart. They bring friends and families together to play, interact and laugh. Each game is carefully crafted and tested to deliver the perfect balance of fun, healthy competition, and long-lasting play value. The result?

Melissa & Doug See & Spell Review

Melissa and Doug See and Spell
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My 3 1/2 year old daughter got this from Santa for Christmas, along with a few other Melissa & Doug sets. We are big fans of this toy company, so far all the sets we have purchased have been durable and well made, my daughter loved her alphabet puzzle with sound from last year, it still works great and looks brand new.
We got around to opening this set today, and she was all excited, and started to spell out several boards at once...then I discovered the problem, there were no letter "e" in the box, or "a"...only one each of the "d" and "o" letters. So being a long time purchaser of their products, called the number listed on the sticker on the back, and immediately was connected with a LIVE human being, no computer nonsense telling me to press 1 then press 2...that alone was amazing, lol...and the woman I spoke with took all the info quickly, and then without any hesitation told me a new set would be out to my daughter today...no asking me to return the defective set, she was quick, efficent, and very pleasant. This one problem with the set would not have turned me off to their toys, but with such quality customer service I am an even bigger fan than ever of this toy company...

WordWorld WordFriends Magnetic Plush Pig with Bonus DVD Review

WordWorld WordFriends Magnetic Plush Pig with Bonus DVD
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My 9 month old daughter loves this show! She claps and dances to the music and is just fascinated with it. We have collected all of the characters for her - she loves to pull them apart and then stick them back together. They are great learning tools ... we use them to point out letters, the sounds they make, the sounds they make when they come together and then the word itself! A great association tool. And they can take quite the beating from her as well!
The one thing I will add is that we found them much cheaper at our Target and they are sold individually. So I don't know why they are so expensive through the 3rd party.

VTech Preschool Learning ABC Phonics Pals Review

VTech Preschool Learning ABC Phonics Pals
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This toy is very frustrating. It does not allow your child to finish typing the letter before it says they are wrong. You are supposed to check the box when you finish writing but you never get a chance to. If the letter isn't written perfectly it says it is wrong. This is very frustrating to a child who is just learning to write. I do not recommend this product and we are returning it ASAP.

WordWorld Friends - Owl Review

WordWorld Friends - Owl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Egg's sorta pointless since it takes some manipulation to put the owl pieces all inside and get the egg to close...could have been just a touch bigger. Daughter loves this character for some reason and it's a decent accompaniment to the PBS TV show. Well-made, plenty sturdy. No sharp edges from the molding process. Good quality colors and snug fitting parts...goes together just like it does in the show, O-W-L, without the sound effects.

Average Reviews:

The toy itself doesn't stay together very well. Might be a singular defect. Bird must be disassembled to fit into egg, which does not latch in any way and comes apart constantly. Fun idea, and I love WordWorld, so it's worth it.

Touch & Discover Alphabet Town Review

Touch and Discover Alphabet Town
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My son plays with this first thing in the morning. (Luckily there are two settings for volume) Alphabet Town lights up and 'talks' to him. There are many settings like: clocks, music, simon says, directions, spelling and phonics. I really like the music button. My son likes to dance to the music of all the songs I have sung to him. I find it a good value due the variety of activities. It also fits on his lap and is very portable. I love watching him learn while having fun.

As a 3rd Grade teacher this game can be challenging for the lower-level schools (like mine!). More than anything it breaks up the constant monotany of everyday centers. Kids enjoy and challenge each other. Very few educational board games, especially at this price! Worth the money.

Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Disney Princess, The Love of Letters Review

Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Disney Princess, The Love of Letters
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this because my daughter (3) loves Disney princesses. While it held her attention for a while, the games are very disappointing. There are only three games with two settings, but no real teaching variety. The games center on point and click, arrow buttons, and keyboard familiarity - something the basic console teaches.
Overall, very disappointing for $20. Seems the game makers may just be relying on the Disney label to sell games - I fell for it, but I would not recommend it.

Vtech Preschool Learning Alphabet Apple Review

Vtech Preschool Learning Alphabet Apple
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My grandson is 5 and has autism. Teaching children with developmental delays is challenging, to say the least. One must get their attention, then keep it, then make the best use of it. This "laptop" does all this and more. My grandson has owned and loved his Alphabet Apple for a couple of years and he is the only child in his class who can tell you the sound of all the letters in the alphabet. So if you ask him, "what does man (house, canary, apple, anything-at-all) start with?" he can tell you in about one-fourth of a second - even words he's never heard before, so this is not memorization! His teacher is always calling him "smart boy" - music to my ears! To be fair, he has a lot of laptops that gloss over the letter sounds, but this is the one that he plays with the most. He doesn't use all the features, or even use some of them properly, but it is teaching him something and doing a good job of it. I'm sure a neurotypical child would get even more out of it. We don't let this one get lost in the closet because he is always asking for his Alphabet Apple. Worth it at twice the price.
