Activity Toy Reviews

What I love about this kit is that it comes with everything that a little artist needs. The portfolio part is a wonderful added touch, they can place their art in it, and present it to you like a gallery showing. I really love that they are starting to create items like this showcase young artists. It is a wonderful start to a life time art.

I purchased this toy based on the excellent reviews it had here at Amazon, it looked also like a fun toy with educational value. I am very disappointed. For starters, my son finds it very frustrating that the front pieces for eyes, face & hat can only go on in one order. He also has trouble pulling the pieces apart once they are together, and he is very dextrous for his age. Also disappointing is the lack of container to store all the pieces in. Without this, the blocks are loose in my son's toybox and we can never find all the pieces. The packaging could easily be redesigned to hold the pieces. All in all, it is not a toy he can sit and play with without assistance, as I had thought it might be. When he does play with it he enjoys it for about 15 minutes and moves on to something else. We could have done without this toy under our Christmas tree.

This truck allows for some great creativity, in that the pieces can fit together in crazy combinations. The sound effects work "like magic" to match the pieces that are on the base. My son got this as a gift when he was barely 2, and he enjoys it a lot. He still gets it out now and then two years later. Get a bin to keep all the pieces in, though. The truck's hats are easy to lose!

I bought this truck for the nursery I work in. It gets young kids attention and is fun to play with when it's all put together. It's great for older kids to develop hand eye cordination, and it's fun for all ages to play with the younger kids because that's how younger kids learn. I wanted to buy this product for my grandsons second birthdays, but unfortunately it's out of stock everywhere. I hope it's not discontinued, that would be unfortunate for the children and parents that like to teach their kids how to play.

My husband got this for our 18-month-old son for Christmas as "his" gift to him as I had already done all the shopping.

It's cute and he played with it all the time. Has lots of little features to it. There is even a phrase (can't remember what it is) that the phone says that he would attempt to mimic every time. Cute!

My only problem with this is that the cord ALWAYS comes apart. ALWAYS. Why does it have to snap together? I don't get it. As short as it is, it isnt' a choking hazard, so I don't understand. And on top of that, one of the parts that snaps together is cracked.

Would buy again, but it just doesn't seem very durable!
