SILLY PUTTY IS THE GREATEST!!!
I love Silly Putty sooo much! It's awesome, and I'm right now playing with it while I type this!!!It actually is not just a toy, but a stress reliever as you squeeze it. You can do anything with it, bounce it, squeeze it, and even pick up pencil marks with it! I just love it, and I think that even an adult would too!!!

i LOVE SiLLY PUTTY!!
Silly Putty is good for adults and children of all ages, you can stretch it, shape it and bounce it so many different ways. Just sitting on the couch watching TV? Take out your Silly Putty and just play around with it for added fun. Silly Putty is a great waste of time and I love it! Nothing beats Silly Putty!

    Cute idea but not steady or STURDY enough
    There's little to criticize about Play Doh as far as a fun, squooshy and classic toy to spark imaginative playtime for youngsters; however, this pretend kitchen leaves much to be improved upon. First off, the table on the side does not stay put. The leg is constantly tipping over with the slightest movements, making it frustrating to set up. The cookie press is fun to create various shapes, but the receptacle doesn't hold much dough, so after about half an inch of squeezing out the design, you need to clean it out and refill. The recipe cards offer creative and fun to make dishes, and the utencils are cute, but I doubt most children can really enjoy hours with this toy.

    Fun for all.....
    My daughter got this for x-mas and she really likes it a lot. She doesn't use the table because it doesn't stay on very well. And to tell you the truth we had a hard time putting the table on. DUH!!!
    The press to make shapes does not work well at all. More play doh comes out of the sides then comes out in shapes. For the price kids will like it. But don't expect to much.

    Hours of entertainment
    I got this for my 3 year old nephew at Christmas time and he still plays with this for hours. This is the one creative toy for a kid that will keep them entertained for a long time.

    Garbage! Don't waste your money
    I bought this for our three-year old daughter. This product is not made for a three-year old as the headpieces do not fit properly into the actual head. My daughter became frustrated trying to play with this toy so her 10-year brother tried to help her out. He couldn't even get the head pieces to fit. You have to force the piece into the head by squeezing the plastic and forcing it in. Decided to throw the whole thing away after my finger was pinched between the forehead and the headpiece. Again, Don't waste your money!

    fun and inexpensive
    My three and seven year old daughters have been playing with this toy for over an hour now. The three hair pieces that came with our set slide right onto the head with ease (we do not have the problem that the last reviewer had). I do, however, have to help set the little figure back on the base after the play doh is filled in; if it is not set in properly the play doh will not come out correctly. I am happy with this purchase, especially since the set currently comes with a free set of multi-colored play doh.


    Card Sharks
    Made by Endless Games
    • Based on the classic 80's television game show
    • A wacky mixture of skill and chance
    • Great for game night with friends

    A major disappointment...should have been better.
    First, I must give Endless Games credit for trying to bring attention to many terrific game shows of the past by creating home versions of them...and some of them are rather pricey. Sadly, the consumer gets very little for the money.

    Card Sharks is a perfect example. It's based on the classic game show of the late 1970s and mid 1980s...yet barely resembles it. They used as a basis for design the set from the failed 2001 revival...which itself bore no resemblance to the original. This makes no sense.

    Don't be surprised if what's in the box doesn't match what's on the cover. I expected playing cards with the logo, bot got cheesy red and blue regular playing cards. I expected a stand-up board, like on the show...you get a piece of cardboard that you have to flip. Not a whole lot for [this price]. As a life-long Card Sharks fan, I was very disappointed when I opened this box.

    I wonder if those who designed this home version ever watched the original show...doesn't seem like it.

    Save you money, and do what my daughter and I did...go to the store, make your own set and buy cards for a buck or two. You'll save money and have more fun than you would have with this turkey.

    Some wise choices, some not.
    The packaging would make you believe this was based on the short-lived 2001 revival. Fortunately, what's inside is based on the '80s-'90s versions of the show. While Endless could have put a bit more into the production, this is a satisfying first attempt at bringing this game home.

    It's fairly straightforward. Guess the correct numbers based on polls of 100 people, determine if the next card in your hand is higher and lower. Then go on to play for fabulous (if imaginary) cash and prizes. All in all a fun game.

    Now, since the latest version tanked on TV, maybe they'll put out a second edition using the classic graphics.

    Card Sharks Rules.
    Let's get something straight. This game features the logos from the infamous 2001 version of the classic TV game show "Card Sharks," but it is NOT that lame format. Instead, Endless Games has wisely adapted the original format that game show lovers the nation over remember.

    What [stinks]: the game board lies flat, and the card backs are generic (actually as much a blessing as a curse; you can use your own cards if you want without worrying about whether they are official or not).

    What's cool: everything else. For a flat game board, it's very stylish and colorful. The question book features "Hi-Lo Questions," in the same 100 person survey format used on the show. AND most importantly, the game uses the rules best known to every game show fan.

    Don't be misled...this is no pretender. This is the real magilla. A very good game from Endless, even with the company's notorious practice of cost cutting.

    Now if only we could get them to do a deluxe version...


    Play Doh: Make-a-Meal Bucket

      Cheap toy - big disappointment
      This bucket looks like it would provide plenty of opportunity for creative play, but it did not. The "cans of play-doh" were not standard size, but rather, the tiny 2 ounce ones that are pretty useless. The food molds are too small and the dough got stuck. Because of that, my kids left the molds filled with play-doh on the table and went off to play in their "kitchen" where they played with wooden food toys.

      You are better off with simple cans of playdoh and a bunch of cookie cutters. This toy was really junky.

      The only reason I gave this a 2 for durability is because the pieces are made of plastic and wont break.

      Super toy!!
      This toy is absolutely worth high recomendation. Lots of fun not only for little kids. I bought it for 3yr old son and my 14yold daughter loves to play with this set. So am I, we have a great fun to make meals for our family. We play the store, restaurant..etc

        kept kids occupied
        I took this on a 5 day camping trip where I knew it would be a challenge to keep 3 and 4 year olds occupied - and not begging for the TV! They had a great time making things! My only complaint is that it didn't come with paper and glue so they would have more options. I bought them separately and am glad I did!

        On Chistmas day, this is the toy she played with...
        I bought this for my niece. On Christmas day, after the gift giving carnage was over and the wrapping paper cleaned up, this is the toy she pulled from the pile to play with. I can't think of a better recommendation than that.

        My only suggestion would be that if you buy this, get some poster board or something to go with it so you have something to glue all the little doodads to.

        SUPER TOY!
        I have this at home, it's the best craft kit I've had in my life!! (and I'm [...]!) I reccomend you getting this for you kids today!

            Near miss
            My five-year-old really likes this game, so don't count it out. The concept (stomping play-dough monsters with a giant foot) is very appealing, and the artwork is detailed and cute. However, I had expected a mini monster factory, since making and destroying monsters is pretty much the whole point of the game. Not so--it comes with a single mold. We improvise by making our own freestyle monsters. Gameplay is very dull--your token moves in a circle around the board so aimlessly that it is difficult to remember where you left off. This game could use some minor strategy to make it truly fun for the WHOLE family.

            New Neighborhood Favorite
            We purchased this game for our 6-year-old son and wish we'd had it even earlier. We ALL love it! For the first time in a long while, friends that come to visit are passing up PS2 and pulling Monster Stomp off the shelf. Whether playing as a family or playing with friends, everyone at the table are equals. I like the idea that we don't have to worry about which of his friends are proficient at math or reading, they are just having a blast. After all, how many kids do you know that don't love to squash stuff?

            My 6 year old loves this
            This game is ideal for kinesthetic learners. I have 6 and 9 year old boys who are highly hands on learners. They need games and activities that are kinesthetic and active. The highlight for them is getting to make the clay monsters and "stomping and squishing" them.
