Thomas and Friends Story Reader 3-pk. Review

What!!! A 90 day warranty??!! Are they crazy? This is a kids toy. We've had a Storyreader for the last year. It was great, the kids loved it. But then it started going haywire. It would start up and after a few words would suddenly stop, not to start again. Very frustrating for me and the kids. That's when I found out it only has a 90 day warranty.

Youngsters will love whipping out this very grownup-looking laptop for a little educational fun! With 80 activities in such skills as language, math, Spanish, social studies, reading, art, and music, the Nitro Notebook packs a true academic punch. The sleek blue computer looks like a standard laptop on the outside, complete with mouse and pad, but features developmentally appropriate games for kids six and older.
As players explore games in Science World (match the animal to its shadow), Word Zone (spell the word to help the puppy cross the river), Creative Studio (create a musical masterpiece), and more, an artificial intelligence tool tracks their progress, automatically upping the challenge quotient as their skills progress. Two bonus cartridges (Story Time and Sing-Along) take kids still deeper into their journey of knowledge. This is a terrific way to improve school skills at home. Three AA batteries or 9V 300mA adaptor required (not included). (Demo batteries included.) --Emilie Coulter

Alex Toys Rainbow Rollers Review

Alex Toys Rainbow Rollers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My three-year-old son received this toy as a birthday gift and it was the hit of his party. He and his friends took turns running the cars down the track and laughed their heads off for a good thirty minutes. On the down side, it hasn't really held his attention for long since then. He still occasionally runs the cars on his own, but mostly plays with it when friends come over. It's good for teaching kids to take turns, well constructed and very cute. Ultimately though, toys that allow for more variation by changing the tracks to create a new set up get more play time. That said, it's very attractive, so I don't mind in the least if it just sits on the shelf most of the time.

I was looking for something new and unique for my nephew who is 4. Boy did I find it! He has been drawing more tracks and even has ignored his trains for this. I am amazed at how long this holds his attention and how interactive it is. His older brother who is 7 was fighting his brother for the car. I am going to get him a bigger roll of paper to create more tracks. I found out about this toy on the Today show when they were doing their top picks for the year. Good pick!

BRIO My First Battery Operated Railway Set Review

My son was not terribly interested in trains until he was 18 months, and now he is fascinated with them! He loves the bridge and the bump. The battery powered engine is wonderful as sometimes he just wants to watch the train move around the track by itself.
This is a great product in the Brio line!

With the engine up front the three wagons run just as well on the floor as on the BRIO® tracks.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart. Review

I bought 2 of these for my 3 and 5 year olds after reading these reviews. But I couldn't find a review that stated the titles of the responsibilities for those of you wanting to know if it will work for you; which for most it should cuz it covers most. Here they are: get ready for bed, get dressed, take bath, cear table, put toys away, keep hands to self, share, brush teeth,stop whining, apologize, say please, thank you, help with indoor/outdor chores, no teasing, show respect, load/empty dishwasher, put clothes in wash, don't use bad language, set table, take care of pet, do homework, make bed, clean room, take out trash, keep hands to self, plus 2 blank to write your own.
My 5 year old took to it right away as we placed all her responsibilities on the board. She was soooo excited and said I'm going to do that more, etc. She even added some resp. she usually wouldn't do, cuz she wanted to get more magnets; so at the end of the week we count them, assign a monetary allowance for each magnet earned (maybe 5 cents), and she can get a little toy or treat at end of week. I figured with 7 days a week and 10 resp. she could earn around 3.50 week; that's big to her right now!!

This has been a great addition to our Thomas the Train set. Our 3 yr. old and 5 yr. old love to have a road alongside their figure 8 track. They are learning about different traffic signs and vehicles in the community. The cars fit on the track as well, but no magnets on the front or rear of the vehicles. Great fun!

My kids love this toy. The advantages I see:
- Durability.
- Quality.
- It is not made in China.
- Simple but yet appealing because it is the kid who developes the play rather than the toy doing everything for the kid.
- Excellent for role-playing.

Vtech - Sit to Stand Alphabet Train Review

Vtech - Sit to Stand Alphabet Train
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).
