Activity Toy Reviews

I bought this for my daughter's birthday after she begged for it. She was very disappointed when she tried to play the game she got all misses every time. I even tried it and could not get it to work. DO NOT buy this product it is JUNK!!!!

I purchased this for my 5 year old. The television commercials made the guitar appear to be a karaoke sing along. The guitar does hook up to your TV set, but it loads a game that appears on the TV display. You have to press the correct keys as the Bratz Rock Angel sings. The graphics weren't very good, and even I wasn't able to press the keys quickly enough to win the game. Overall, we were very disappointed and returned the product.

This toy was actually not what I expeceted. When I plugged it into the tv it was not even in color. It was definitely not user friendly being that it was hard to figure out what note my daughter was supposed to be playing. I actually was the first one to play and could not follow along with the notes on the screen because it went so fast. Not only that I felt that it was not interacting well with the user and did not provide good user-friendly on-screen instructions. This toy I felt was one of the worst interactive toys on the market. Anyone looking to buy this item please save your money.

My kids are very gentle with their toys and it still constantly falls apart. Just opening up the tool box will cause parts to fall off their hinges. The road pieces that are included do not stay together. Not much fun when your kids are constantly asking you to put it back together. Complete waste of money and total piece of junk.

I totally agree with the above poster. My son loves this toy, but the pieces are always falling apart (it is a toolbox shape that opens and folds back up) The hinged pieces are always coming apart. I have stopped bothering to put it together to put it away. It is a very annoying toy because of this. They could have totally improved the design on this toy and I would have given it a good rating. I wouldn't recommend it until the manufacturer decides to put money and thought into the design. I find it to be a cheap piece of junk that didn't have to be.

This Bob the Builder toy might be fun for the kids to play with, but it's a hassle for Mom to put back together all the time! Every time my sons play with it, panels pop off, the bridge comes apart, etc. I end up putting it back together several times, just so play can continue. The concept is good, and I like that it all folds up for storage. This product could stand some improvement, though!

My three year old daughter loves this doll and will sit down with her and brush her hair. She never would play with baby dolls until I bought this doll. For one week straight, she would not put the doll down. I recommend this item to all children.

My daughter has fallen in love with the Little People DVDs. I came across this item, along with the Eddie doll & DVD. My daughter was so excited to get the package and the plush dolls. She carries them everywhere and sits with them when wathcing the videos!! Defintely worth the money and the great price I paid for the items.

We adopted our daughter, Sarah, from China just 8 months ago. Sarah turned two Feb 6th! She got a package in the mail from Uncle Tracy, Aunt Cindy, and cousins Crystal and Ashley. It was a Sonya Lee doll with CD! Sarah really loves Sonya Lee! It is the cutest doll with Asian features! It has a soft body and soft plastic head with black hair and a pink ribbon! Sonya Lee comes with a DVD and a backpack with her cat. Too adorable!

I had high expectations for this toy to keep my daughter busy and happy in the car during our daily commute. This was not the right toy! The display screen is similar to the leapfrog drum (red dots in formation) It's a great idea (especially when driving at night) but half the time I can't even figure out with the picture is because it's moving too fast or it just doesn't make sense. In the music mode the song changes or starts over any time the steering wheel is moved. So you can't pretend to drive if you want to listen to the entire song. The alphabet and number mode is similar to the leapfrog drum as well, where it just says each number or letter as the wheel is turned. Nothing to exciting about that. I have noticed alot of the leapfrog toys that teach number or letters all do & sound the same, they're just sold in a different form (drum, ball, steering wheel,...etc). A little more variety might be nice.
Maybe my expectations were too high but the toy went right back to the store!

My 2 year old loves this! It is a great toy for taking long car rides. He received this as a gift last year but he did not actually start to play with it until recently. Mom and dad like it too because it keeps him occupied in the car, wherever our destination is, and at home. Nice toy!

My mother bought one of these for each of my daughters (ages 18 mos and 5 years) after seeing the ads on TV. They loved them - at first. They doodled, I washed. They doodled more, I washed more.

- NOTE: you have to wash the bears separate from other items, so if your kids doodle a lot prepare yourself for a lot of extra loads in the washing machine.

The markers more or less come out, but the material the bears are made of is mottled anyway, so it doesn't matter much if it doesn't all come out.

THEN, one day as I was washing the doodle bears, other animals suddenly became "Doodle animals." It was awful. In the amount of time it took me to load the washer and start it, a whole menagerie of stuffed animals were transformed - never to be the same again. I realized then that although I understood that they should only draw on the Doodle Bears, the toddler did not get that key piece of information.

If you do buy a Doodle Bear, do the parent a favor and do not buy one for a home with a toddler.

My other complaint is that the bears are not cuddly at all - a big downside for my older daughter who likes to sleep with her favorite toys.

My mother purchased this toy for my daughters fifth birthday. We gave it to her this morning before school and she played with it for twenty minutes before it was time to go to school. When she was playing with it she had trouble pushing the plunger on the head without her falling over. (She is only standing on her one tip toe when she lifts her other leg.) Once you got it going it was fun for her for a few minutes. When she got home from school she picked it up to play with it and she no longer sang and danced at the same time. She had to put her back in Demo mode to get her to sing. but she still spins. I changed the batteries in case that was the problem but it did not resolve. I cant possibly see how a three year old can get this doll to dance. We are now on our way to return her and get something different. Good Luck
