SmartVille Ice Cream Color Shoppe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my niece for Christmas. She's 21 mos. old (almost 2) and it was the first thing she wanted to play with. My sister says she LOVES it and I saw her playing with it at home, 3 weeks after Christmas as well. The pieces are just the right size for little hands and there is enough to do without "electronic overload." Just a very nice toy.

Sassy Bathtime Fun Appliques - 84 Piece Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)They were so excited when I got these for them. There is a good selection of letters & numbers & they have fun patterns on them too. When slightly wet they will stick to the bathtub & tiles which is fun. Also as they are foam pieces they are less likely to hold water to cause mildew.
A tip to clean them though, is to throw them in the washing machine in one of those zippered 'linen' bags. Just to give them that fresh feel again.

VTech Preschool Learning Light-Up Learning Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've had this toy for several months and it still holds our kids attention. Initially, we bought it for the 3-year-old to help him learn numbers, their sequence (being able to count to 10 from memory is not the same [for a toddler] as actually knowing what number comes before other or which number is larger than the other). He still has fun with it and it helped him grasp basic math concepts. And now our 1-year-old started playing the phone as well. She likes pressing the buttons and hearing the parent message we recorded. Great buy.

Leapfrog Count and Sing Express Learning Toy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this for my son's 3rd birthday (last May), and I don't think he has played with it more than a handful of times, for more than a couple minutes. I thought well maybe he was too young, but his older brother (17 months older) isn't too much interested either. I bought this because it was shaped like a train (which they both love) and it taught numbers (up to 10). FYI, our sons are extremely active and rarely sit for more than a minute. The toy itself is just as the manufacturer describes.

Vtech Tote and Go Laptop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow! I am so glad I bought this. After reading reviews on all of the other "laptops" for children, I decided on this one after thorough research. Most complaints with other parents on the other laptops was about the LCD screen being so small, while the screen on this is perfect for its size and intent. I did not have trouble seeing anything. So it doesn't light up, I'm thankful, that's one less battery to replace. The other complaint I read about the others is that they were loud. This one is not. My children playing with their toys doesn't disturb me though. If they are learning & interacting with the toy, I'm happy.
Another fun feature on this paticular "laptop" is that it has a working mouse. You can click to enter & move it slightly left or right or up & down (it is attached to the pad) to get to another activity or participate in one of the thirty plus fun games that offer pre-K learning & Kindergarten learing...find the shape that is bigger, etc... And yes I played with it to make sure everything worked correctly & to see what & how it would be teaching my children. It does teach & it has been fun for mine. It is a sturdy laptop with more bang for the buck than the rest of the other "laptops with many complaints" out there. You will be glad you purchased this for your little one. I have NO COMPLAINTS with this product. I also get involved with my children as much as I can to show them how learning can be fun. This purchase has been a smart one! Thank you Amazon!!! Go VTech !!!!

NameTrain Bright Finish Letter Cars - A Review

Vtech - Alphabet Apple Review

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.

NameTrain (5 letters) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I saw this great train at a local boutique for $8.95 per piece which would have cost me 44.75 JUST for my son's 5 letter name and a total of 62.65 after the engine and caboose. Ouch!! I was so happy to find it on amazon for a much easier to swallow price. Was a bit worried the quality of the train wouldn't be the same as the nearby boutique and was pleased to see that it was the exact same brand of lettering and couldn't be more pleased with this product!
Thank You!
A note about the seller:
I received the train with one missing letter. I assumed they forgot to pack the letter and might not be willing to pay shipping to send the extra letter separately. I sent a quick e-mail letting them know about the missing letter, and received a prompt response that they had run out of the letter and the manufacture would be sending it to me directly. I received the missing letter the next day. A+ to Grey Hippos customer service as well!! Thank You!

Shure - Chunky World Alphabet Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have twins and I'm always looking for great educational products. This is a regular alphabet puzzle, but the pieces are 1/2" thick and the puzzle tray have matching images underneath each piece. The pieces can stand individually and my kids play with them and make stories. We created a silly one in where the pieces dance and stood around in a circle and we sang the ABC's. Love this product!

NameTrain Bright Finish Letter Cars - E Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought the letter E in order to scavenge it for spare parts since one day the N we had bought for our son was mysteriously (I think the vacuum got it) missing one of the two pairs of wheels. The E that arrived was dark brown not green like the picture shows, and we went about swapping wheels. Our N is in great shape now, though I wish I could just order a pair of wheels instead of a whole letter, as the E looks cool too and it is a shame to have it be missing its second pair of wheels.
In short, these letter-shaped Name Train vehicles are beautiful; they look great, they feel great, and they roll great. We love'em! 5 Stars

Melissa & Doug See-Inside Alphabet Peg Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We like Melissa and Doug puzzles, but this one is a little different. The alphabet pieces are easy to maneouvre, like their other puzzles, but the ideas that they chose to represent each letter are sometimes weird/confusing.

A is for apple, B is for basket, C for carrot, D for duck, E for egg (why is the egg blue? My kid thought it was a balloon), F has a picture of a bird, implying 'feather'. Too off-track for my 2 year old.
Other unusual ones: I is for insect. J is for jumprope, Q is for Quail. T for tie, V for vine, Y for yarn.
Why didn't they choose items that weren't so 'obtuse', like F is for foot, I is for ice cream, Q is for quilt, or 'quack' (duck)T is for toes, V is for vaccuum, Y is for yam/yogurt/yellow...why didn't they hire me? ;)
By the time my kid knows these words himself, he will be too old for the manipulative side of the puzzle.
So, you have to be ready to do the puzzle with your young child, if you are practicing words.

Vtech - Sit to Stand Alphabet Train Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a parent, I would rather get those toys at Christmas time that have use to them and that will be played with, but the most important thing to me is it's ability to help my kids learn and its durability. there are some gifts that are given to my kids that I dread seeing when I notice that they have noise. I think there are more people out there like me. Some toys out there are just too loud for my taste. I am very impressed with VTech's line of learning toys and games! I love that the sounds are fun, catchy and tend to keep my kids more in tune with the toy and with learning. With the Sit-to-Stand Alphabet Train(tm), the music and songs that it sings to your child, I often find myself singing along. Yes. I sing along to it. LOL! It almost has a circus theme to the tunes that it plays. Very fun!
Here is a video that I shot of both of my kids (12 months and 3 years) with the Sit-to-Stand Alphabet Train(tm). As you can see, both age groups love it!
The Sit to Stand Alphabet Train was very easy to put together and holds up very nice. I have a 3 year old and he has been caught playing `run away train' from his sister, so the train itself holds up very nicely. He loves to sit there with his sister and put in alphabet blocks that the train recognizes the colors, letters and images that are on each block. When you put in a red letter "Y" block, it will tell you that it is a letter "Y" and asks you to find the "yo-yo", in which you turn the block around. I think this is a fantastic learning tool for infants, as well as toddlers. Kambry is in her first stages of walking, so this is perfect for letting her get a grip on her balance and learn to move those toes with a push toy.
I look forward to many more fun leaning adventures with my kids, and with VTech Kids' Sit-to-Stand Alphabet Train(tm).
