Activity Toy Reviews

This is a great trivia game that will be fun for kids and adults! The questions come in five different categories and five different question styles, making it more like a variety game (think Cranium) than like a classic trivia game. Players build the game board as they go and answer all sorts of questions that are broadly based across a variety of subject areas.

This is a great educational game and your family will enjoy it for years!

I have 2 boys, age 5 and 7, and got this for them last Christmas. For two days straight, this is all they wanted to play with. At the end of day 2, however, the bag sprung a leak. After several failed attempts to repair it, the bag was shoved in the corner out of site. Today I tried to fix it again, nothing works so we have to throw it out. My boys are terribly sad. They still play with the outfits and watch the video, but it's just not the same. Their friends who also have this set have had the same problem.

I bought this for my daughter who just had to have this. The bag is pretty flimsy, but for a small child, it is ok. The video that comes with it is pretty silly, but for a kid who is obsessed with the Power Rangers, that is also okay. I figured anything that would encourage her to train is a good thing.

My biggest complaints are:
1)Even small children should be taught that you can start out with a black belt.
2)Technically they could have made it on par with the Power Rangers. The Poer Rangers may be silly, but they have very nice form.

My daughter wrote her own review, that I recently found in my jacket pocket. I have included it below.

Dear Tommy Nitro,

I am a 7 year old girl who watched your black belt video. You get your inside blocks and outside blocks mixed up. I also go to karate school. You also don't look back when you do your back kicks as you should.

My friend Alyssa and I would like to be on your next Black Belt DVD and do our blocks and kicks right.

Thank you,

Martine Greenblatt

My nine year old loves this toy. He is so into electronics that I thought I'd never get him away from video games. With this toy he still gets to stay inside in front of the T.V., but he is getting excercise which I love and learning basic karate which he loves.

Pretty nice game. The illustrations do not look exactly like the characters in the movie. They are more like cartoon illustrated (see front cover-- the illustrations inside are similar). This was a little dissappointing at first. The voices are pretty good, it has some nice songs, and teaches some educational facts about the sea. My son's favorite part is the deep sea page.

This is a really Neat leap pad book! My kids LOVED the movie! And were ecstatic, to get the leap pad book. It has some entertaining games, and my kids ask to play this book alot more than others. I highly recommend this book! It has alot of FUN stuff in it. I hope your children like it as much as my 7, 6, and 3 year olds do.. :)

Alex got this for Christmas and absolutely loves it! This is neck and neck w/Lion King as his favorite LeapPad book. The best part for the 'big people' in the house are the jellyfish game and the turtle game.

My 2 yr. old son, just loves his house! He wanted to bring the outdoor one in on a rainy day once, so when I saw this collapsable one I was thrilled! I was convinced that for the money it would fall apart in a couple of days. It hasn't! It's extremely sturdy and easy to relocate. When this one finally does see its day, I will be purchasing another one!

Love it, easy to assemble. This is a great toy - it keeps my two daughters busy for hours! They color on it & love it, they play house with their dolls in it & have picnics with it. I have just purchased my third one, my friends kids come over to play & rave about it. Now it's one of my standard gifts to give!

We gave this as a present to a child who is very into weather. It came in a ton of small peices and was so much smaller than we expected. It just wasn't worth it.

I was so excited to purchase this only to be totally disappointed with the quality. The pieces would not stay together. The unit toppled over when we tried to set it outside to gather rain. Definitely bumbed us out!

My nephew loved the weather station. Unfortunatelly, the wind arrow was not included. He was extremely disapointed. It was easy to assemble and the other weather indicators work.

This doll has breasts and a Barbie doll figure....Lil is friggin' TEN on the show, not THIRTEEN like Angelica and Susie!!!!! Come on Nickelodeon, and bring back the Rugrats as babies, 'cause they were more fun as kids than dumb preteens/teens!

This doll is cute and fun to play with. My daughter loves it. I like these dolls better then bratz. They need to make more dolls that are dressed the way kids are. I think that Lil does. Im happy and my daughter has a toy I think will be around for a long time.
