Activity Toy Reviews

My daughter loves her other Leap Pad stories and activity books, but she was bored with this one. As she got older, I hoped she would grow into it. She is now almost three, and it still doesn't interest her. Plus, it is really no different than the regular book. (She would rather have me read the real book than listen to it on the Leap Pad.) Save your money- buy the book, don't buy the Leap Pad version.

I've been reading this story to my grandson since he was just a few weeks old. Now it comes to life for him.

We got this for my daughter, along with the Little Touch Leap Pad, when she turned a year old. At this age, she isn't that interested in following the story or doing the activities on the book, but she is obsessed with turning the pages and looking at the pictures. This book seems flimsy but is actually QUITE durable. She has chewed on it, crumpled the pages, yanked on it, thrown it around, etc. and the pages DO NOT tear and they are also waterproof so the constant drooling doesn't mess up the book.

I ordered this toy for my 11 month old daughter. Before I ordered it I read all of the reviews and it seemed that it would be a great toy. UPS delivered the toy today and I am truly disappointed! It looks like a cheap, plastic box. My co-workers and I seem to think it's a rip off, compared to the other gifts I've purchased. I THINK I am going to give it to my daughter to play with because it seems that children really enjoy the toy, but it CERTAINLY looks like a cheap toy that was not worth the time, energy or money I spent.

I bought this item for my 22 month old. i was nervous about it not being age appropriate. I thought it would be too much of a baby toy... but I was wrong! She loves this toy nad takes it along in the car. Many acitivities to keep your little one busy!

nice item, good shipping

We are big fans of the Little Touch books as a way for us to sit with our little guy and look at the pictures. (He is 10 months now, but we started with this book at 6 months.) We like several of the books, but the sounds and messages of this Pooh Bear book are delightful. We often shut off the story and just use the pictures and sounds to talk to the baby. It is a very engaging way to calm him and share a quiet time. It is not a substitute for reading to the him, but it is a fun additional activity.

My son received this for Christmas and it 6 months later it has finally become a toy that my son plays with. He started playing with it around 10 months. At 6 months (suggested age for this toy) he would just sit and "dance" to the music and watch the lights when we put the balls in. It wasn't worth much at that age. Now he can do it himself so it's more entertaining for him. He likes to put the balls in backwards too--up the dinosaur foot, and up the neck slide. Great toy for now, but not sure for how much longer. Also, past the motor skills and the cognitive part of figuring out which hole leads down what ramp, I don't see any other educational value.

Items to note-
1. The orange hole that leads down the ramps in the middle: the ball frequently gets stuck by the pendulum, and if the ball doesn't have enough momentum it won't always come out of the foot. Not a problem since we just reach in and move the ball and my son just moves the pendulum himself to get the ball moving (NO entrapment problems for his arms or hands).

2. The butterfly over the tail does NOT spin like I thought it would--too much resistance with mine. If it's not in the right place, it will stop balls from coming down the tail all together. Also- the button for the music in the blue hole tends to stick in the up position after a ball goes thru making subsequent balls have no effect.

Just a few small issues, nothing major. All and all it's still a good toy.

My baby loved it at about 10 months, and now at 13 months still enjoys it. It does take up a bit of floor space and is not 'easy to store' but it's worth the space. It does not get used every day, after they discover how the balls go into the holes it loses some of it's appeal, but they return to discover new things - how it triggers the music, or how the ball causes the mouth to open, or that the balls come out at different areas. Overall, it's a nice toy and enjoyable enough. Still not as popular as the police rocker (see my reviews) or the Chicco ride-on car (my eldest started with the Chicco car at 12 mos and STILL uses it every day at 2.5 years old).

My son received this for Christmas when he was 6 months old. I think he was a bit young then; since he was about 10 months old this has become his favorite toy-it promotes hand/eye coordination and teached him cause and effect. Now, at one year, he loves to pull himself up and stand at his dinosaur to push the balls through himself...while making "roaring" dinosaur noises....! This product has also had numerous "roll-arounds" thrown at it, and it does not mark easily-very durable! Definately worth the money and fun for mom and baby!

I expected more of this product. Assembly to be done should have and could have already been done by manufacturer. The clip for the paper is terrible - there should be two. The paper falls to easy. The side bars are too easy for the kids to lift.

I purchased this for my two year old twin nieces. It was almost perfect, it only had a clamp to hold drawing paper on one side so I took a clamp from a clipboard and installed it on the other side. The children love it.

My daycare kids enjoy this.
I love it because it is the right height

We bought this climber/swing extension for our son's 2 year Bithday. He LOVES the swingset & wants to swing all the time. However, he is too tall at TWO YEARS to stand in the house. I will be purchasing a little chair in hopes he will go in the house sometimes. I'm surprised he is too tall since the age range is up to 6.

The construction of this toy is solid & thick & I believe will last a long time. It took two individuals several hours to put this together with little difficulty. It blends nicely with our landscape and nature.

We bought it for our granddaughter. It was delivered right on time and was easy to assemble. She has enjoyed it more than we imagined.

We just got this set for our 2 year old and she just loves it. It only took my husband less than 2 hours to put it together, I helped a little. It doesn't take up alot of room yet you still get 2 swings, a slide and a playhouse. I also like the fact that the slide is off the ground so when she slides down it she (almost always) lands on her feet. We had to take it out of the box to get it in our mini van. The instructions aren't that great but you can figure out what needs to go where.

We have 4 Little Touch books in all and this one is the best for a baby. This one has the most to offer for a baby under one. Even though the whole system says it is for 6 months and up, I found very little until this book held my baby's interest. My big kids enjoy helping their baby sister explore her LeapPad, too.

My new granddaughter loves this animated LeapPad and Books. I know she will enjoy them for years to come.

We received this as a gift for a 1 year old. It's ok, but not entertaining enough. I found it more helpful, using the Let's get busy, baby booklet as a teaching guide. I would get the book and my daughter and I would look for her head, toes on the picture and find them on her body. The cartridge is ok, but takes time and my daughter loves hitting the button to turn it off all the time. Design is wrong, on and off button should be on side of product. I think she will enjoy it when she's 2 1/2 or 3. But, not at 2.

I ordered this item for my grandson who is 7 and really into Magnetix but he got lots for Christmas so I just kept this one at my home so everyone can enjoy it there when he or other grandchildren/other children come to visit. Magnetix are GREAT fun for all! Great product for Amazon to offer.

I original bought this for an extra B-Day present to have. It was on sale for $5 with free shipping. When I received it I had to try it out. I have 2 boys 4 and 6 and they love it. My older one loves the adding/subtracting problems. What a fun way to learn by stepping on the mat to hear the silly sound if you are correct. My younger one is learning how to identify his letters and numbers. They play with it for hours on end. I wish I had bought more for that price.

This is an excellent collection of easy-to-use art supplies for children. It includes the drawing "tools" my daughters like to use most. This collection empowers children to be creative.

I suggest you buy this Crayola set, a case of cheap paper, a couple rolls of invisible tape, a pencil sharpener, a bottle of Elmer's school glue, and a stapler (for sure). Then give your child frequent access to the supplies to draw pictures and design things. Your child's creativity will emerge on its own.

Highly recommended!
