Activity Toy Reviews

My children loved this gamewhen they were younger! My youngest son (5 years old at the time) especially liked the dolphins and kept getting into the game to play with them and ended up losing a few pieces. The other two children were quite upset and we ended up purchasing a second game, keeping that one out of little brother's reach. It is played like spoons, but the children grab dolphins instead of spoons. This game has remained a favorite. Now they are older, oldest just got married. The game has been put away now for the future grandchildren. I am sure they will love it as their parents did!

Both grandsons love this lively game. We have been playing it for years. When one set completely wore out, I searched Web sites until I finally found Splash on amazon.com.

I originally purchased this game as a gift for my sister's family and have now added it to my collection. It's not a hard game to learn and teaches children to match cards by both numbers and visuals. Once you get the hang of it, the card game moves quickly. It's guaranteed fun!

We have this slide in these colors and our 2 1/2 year old loves it! It is sturdy enough so she can climb up and slide herself without it being wobbly or too high. She can land just fine without being thrown forward. The shape of the sliding area is formed to a small child's behind and the sides are high enough that she looks and feels secure on it.

Age wise - I let my 6 1/2 year old, 50 lb son try this slide and he put it to the test. I could see the steps alone were straining under his weight and when he got to the top so slide down, I noticed the slide was also straining. My son's width was just small enough to fit the width of the slide area. At his height of about 46 inches, there wasn't enough length to the slide for him to get a real ride out of it.

I would suggest a slide of this size to be used by toddlers to about age 4-5 depending on the size and weight of the child.

I think this game is Awsome! But once you finish all 5 levels and play all the games unless you buy the mall or car or another house. Then thats about all you can do. I am keeping the game for a bit. I'll think if I want to keep it. It's probaly better for younger kids. i think I might buy the Mall and see if it makes the game better. then return it. If it makes the game better I'll keep the house and return the mall. if it still is really limited ill return both. Thats what I think of this game.

I want one of these sooo much! I want the Mansion. If anyone wants to tell me about it, Janellworks@aim.com . This looks so cool. I was wondering about the cars and the stores. Are they cool? because I'm going to get a Pixel chix tomarrow probaly. And I'm deciding wich other one I want. Store or car? Well, A friend of mine has one. But, she lives across the country. so tell me about it. I want one of these! Once i get It I'll put a review here!

I have the pixel chix miami loft and it's so cool! There are five levels and I'm on the fourth one. It doesn't take very long to move up a level. When you get you may find it to be a little boring, but that's because the first level doesn't have that much stuff on it. But you can get other toys for her like a car and other houses to connect with. The box says to put three or more houses together to see what happens. I don't know what happens yet. I only have one house. Thanx for reading! Hope I helped!

this toy is modertly fun!!!! I got it for christmas last year and the only thing that worked were the rubber molds. the consept of the toy is good, and it may have worked for other people, so mabe i did something wrong. but i had fun putting pre melted chochlate in the molds was very fun!

My daughters had this toy; it has since been pitched. It was frustrating for them to operate. We found that if I melt chocolate chips in the microwave and still use the molds from the toy, it works out much better for us. I wish Mattel would bring back the Sweet Toot tootsie roll roll maker from the 60's. No batteries were involved or heating elements. Cute little tootsie roll molded candy was made by "kid power". I would skip the Hershey's maker and wait for something better.

You have to wait a long while for the chocholate to melt, but once the machine is warmed up it goes much quicker. Sure you can save money by heating chocolate in the microwave, but using the machine givis it that "I did it myself" feeling to kids. cute little toy, great present!

I purchase the Teen Trends outfits for my Mini Super Dollfie (Luts Delf Kid), and they fit great, minus the shoes. This is the CUTEST outfit, really down to earth and not flashy at all, very sweet and versatile. The jeans are my favourite, and I love how you can use the blouse alone or with the sweater. The little iPod is absolutely adorable, as is the water bottle. I adore this little outfit, and my doll seems to like it as well. ;)

I like this outfit and the Courtney doll. I don't have a Courtney doll yet, but I will ask for one around Christmas. Or maybe a Kianna...

tried all the recipes in this toy and most dont do much of anything also have to hold most of the parts as they dont stay up of there own accord kid is very disapointed and never asks to get it back out.

This toy is great! I can buy refills and more to do with it! The only thing thats bad is you can't use a power adapter.

My wife and I use this product for entertaining guests by making adult drinks with it. I makes a mean cocktail!

I give this camera an educational value of three stars because my daughter learned that sometimes you really do get what you pay for. She's leaving for a summer camp tomorrow, and was torn between a disposable camera and this hunk of plastic. She made what her mother and I believed to be a wise choice at the time and went with the digital camera - I've used four with GREAT success and thought, "this should be a breeze". Oh my, was I wrong.
1 - No instruction manual, but I did find one on the internet.
2 - Camera won't take a picture. I didn't loose them, they weren't out of focus, and the resolution wasn't bad. I couldn't freakin' take a sigle picture.
3 - It's about as brittle as a potato chip shaved into halves. IF you get one to work, carry a pillow underneath it at all times.

If my message and intent is lost in the sarcasm listed above, let me make this perfectly clear - DO NOT allow your kids, wives, husbands, grandparents, or friends to waste their money on this thing. If you want to get your child their first camera, keep getting them the regular disposable type until they are trustworthy enough to dump some real money into a decent digital camera.

I bought 2 of these for my kids and it takes the worst pictures EVER!!!! Don't waste your money. We ended up giving them our first digital camera from 5 years ago and it works 100x better.

We bought this camera for our daughter for Christmas so she could learn how to use a digital camera. Bad mistake. The pictures turned out just awful. She used it once or twice, now it is another dust catcher on the desk.
