BANANAGRAMS
2008-02-17 10:15:58
BANANAGRAMSI was introduced to this game on a "girls only" weekend. I wasn't so sure at first, as Scrabble had always seemed so tedious. Bananagrams is, by far, one of the best "new" games I have played in a long time. I like the fact that you can play with any age or skill level. The words can be simple or complex depending on your vocabulary. The banana-shaped case is compact & portable. I had to order my own as soon as I got home. This game will be added to the game bag that travels in the car. A great use of otherwise wasted time while you are waiting just about anywhere. You might include a pocket dictionary in your game bag, just in case you are playing with kids or people who like to challenge your words. I think there will be a lot of Bananagrams under our 2008 Christmas tree!B


Mattel Barbie 3-Story Dream House Playset
2008-02-17 10:13:08
Mattel Barbie 3-Story Dream House PlaysetI discovered at the last minute that my daughter wanted this Barbie house when she told Santa. Needless to say, we went looking for that one last thing - this house. Toys R Us had it on sale and didn't have any in stock and "had no idea where the truck was that had them on it, it was missing." I came home and immediately got on the internet and found this one. At the time it said it was the last one. It was the same price at the store and free shipping - you can't beat that.Was even told not to expect the item until Dec 24. It shipped the next day and we had it in 3 days. We were all excited and had a VERY happy girl on Christmas morning!Thank you so much! It was a great experience and one that will make me come here first!Mattel Barbie 3-Story Dre


Fisher-Price Nature's Touch Baby Papasan Cradle Swing
2008-02-17 10:09:08
Fisher-Price Nature's Touch Baby Papasan Cradle SwingWe got this for my son when he was about 3 weeks old. I love that it has two positions, one of which is more reclined. He would slump over in the more upright position because he wasn't strong enough to hold himself up yet. The swing not only swings front to back, it swings side to side and my little guy loves to swing left to right. He likes the music and the mobile, although I can't see how he can even tell what he is looking at because the mobile faces out, not down towards the swing. There is a big "fisheye" style mirror that he just stares at the entire time he's in there. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because when you have the activity bar snapped on it is pretty hard to get your little one in and out of the swin

VTech Kidizoom Digital Camera
2008-02-17 09:26:18
VTech Kidizoom Digital Camera Got this camera as a present for my 3-year-old daughter - she loves it! She can switch it on and off by herself and is always asking for '[her] camera' so she can snap a picture. It's also absorbed a few harsh drops without any trouble.Caveats:- Though it's named "Kidizoom", it does not actually have any zoom functionality. (Not that a toddler would know what to do with it!)- Don't try to use a miniSD or microSD card with an SD adapter, and MMC cards won't work either - the camera will start up and immediately shut itself down again. A cheap plain SD card does fine - I put in a 256MB SD that I had lying around and, given that the built-in 16MB held well over 100 of her pictures, I'm sure she'll never fill it up.- Like many low-end digitals, it doesn't work all

Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube
2008-02-17 09:23:04
Munchkin Mozart Magic CubeThe cube contains six classic Mozart tunes that can be heard via 5 individual, or combination of, instruments including a concert mode which plays them all. Your child can manipulate the ensemble while the music is playing. My 18 month boy loves it and is always fiddling with the different types of musical play. Somehow (despite such a young age)he was able to intuitivly master the cube use rendering my first impression (that this toy is more appropraite for older children) wrong.When the music is playing to his desire he spontaneously starts waving and clapping his hands. I have no proof but based on my observation I feel this toy enhances his appreciation of music as well as his ability to understand basic music composition.My four year old loves it too so the b

Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper
2008-01-18 22:23:21
Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball PopperHard to know how to review this, but needed to say something...this is my son's favorite toy. In fact, he will play with very little else. He turns this on every morning by 6 am. He will make his way through a completely dark house to the front room to find this. The music is way too loud and it's insane. And I have to listen to it all day long. If he's awake, this thing is on. Yes, the balls shoot all over. Yes, this would be the toy the devil would make if he could make toys. But my son LOVES it. Plus, he has learned how to fix it on his own when the balls get stuck in the tube, and it taught him how to put balls in a small hole, and he'll hunt all over the house for the "right" balls to fit in this, as he has learned that using the "wrong" balls messes i

Transformers Movie Leader Optimus Prime
2008-01-18 22:13:05
Transformers Movie Leader Optimus Prime I think that this is a great new toy of optimus primebut i dont think i would be paying the price it is going for now I still thought $40 was wow not cheap but worth it. the megatron toy is not easy to change either so i just leave it in its standing postion. when i try to change it from standing form to truck wow it takes some time even though i have had transformers for a long time. I just leave them in vechicle mode much easier WEll I see nothing wrong with metal toys which were made back in the 80's and now they are all plastic boo. Toy recalls on everything these days oh wow.well transformers are not being recalled so that is a good thinga must own toy but watch out for the price. More Information>>>

Rubik's Revenge Cube 4 X 4
2008-01-18 22:09:51
Rubik's Revenge Cube 4 X 4After having finally conquered the brain-twisting original 3 X 3 cube, I was eager to try the next level. I wasn't disappointed. While many of the techniques for solving the 3 X 3 cube are transferable to the 4 x 4, the 4 X 4 cube also presents several new and interesting twists, no pun intended, that make for a much more challenging puzzle. After a few minutes at it, you'll understand why it's called the "Revenge". Solving the puzzle for the first time is a feat sure to fill you with lasting smugness. But soon you're at it again, endeavoring to master the solving techniques and best your previous time. Though slightly larger than the 3 X 3 version, the Rubik's Revenge is still quite comfortable to grip and easy to manipulate. However, my hands are on the larger s

The Settlers of Catan - New 4th Edition!!!!!
2008-01-18 22:06:19
The Settlers of Catan - New 4th Edition Settlers is one of the greatest games ever. I think it was originally created to teach capitalism. Here are my pros/cons:Pros: *There is enough strategy for most gamers*There is some luck which can make things interesting. If you want to minimize the luck factor then use 12-sided dice*Great interaction as you get to trade and barter with other players (even when it is not your turn.) Kids can definitely learn the concept of re-investing in your assets and great negotiation skills.*You can change the boardgame set up everytime so you get a different game everytime. *There are 2 expansions (seafarers & Cities & Knights) & other add-ons to change up the game to continue to make the game new and interesting.*There are extensions that expan

LeapFrog FLY Fusion Pentop Computer
2008-01-11 21:46:36
LeapFrog FLY Fusion Pentop Computer This is a expensive toy/educational tool. It surprised me that it works as well as it does. It does take some getting used to and you have to be patient at first while learning what all it can do. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my 14 year old son and he isn't patient enough to give it a change. After I tried everything and get the bugs worked out, he likes it. It is expensive as far as having to have the notebook paper and buying the extra software for the specific subjects, but I think the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it. The main drawback it the notebook paper. I give it a thumbs up overall.More Information>>>


LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer
2008-01-11 21:42:34
LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer My son just got this from his grandparents, and I have to say I am really impressed. We've owned several of the TV learning toys (Little Leaps, FP Learn with Me DVD come to mind) and were not really impressed with those. This toy will teach him how to interact with a real computer, and lets him have fun doing it. My son is almost 3, and has been given a probable diagnosis of Aspergers syndrome. Small motor coordination is difficult for him at times - I LOVE that this toy lets him work on his mouse skills. He absolutely LOVES this computer, and I do too. The games seem to be varied enough not to get too monotonous, the way some preschool computer software can. We decided to hook this toy up to a small TV that isnt connected to cable, so that as far as he


Wild Planet Hyper Dash

The player who completes the sequence in the least amount of time wins. The winner is announced at the end of each round.My only complaint is there is no volume control and sometimes the instructions given may be hard to hear, especially if used outdoors.More i
