I bought this for my 2 year old daughter. I was a little disappointed because the blood pressure cuff is so hard for her to squeeze. She can't make it work on her own which is frustrating for her. Otherwise she seems to enjoy it.

My little girl has to go to the doctor quite a bit. This little set makes her familiar with some of the things that will happen in the office and she even gives me and the family dog out check-ups!

We got this for my daughter for Christmas and she is still playing with it. She examines everyone from Aunts, cousins, Grandparents, and stuff animals. It is a great learning toy!

We use this swing attached to our pergala and our daughter loves it. She used it a lot when she was 5m then later went through a phase where she wasn't much into swinging. After we moved I put it up and...viola! She loves it again at 14m. We added several inches of chain with S hooks to make it closer to the ground. It was just way to high when not used with the playset.

We love this swing! Noah loves to go outside and swing on the front porch. The swing is great quality and super easy. I feel that Noah is very secure with the bar that comes between the legs. We have been using this swing since he was about 6 months old and are looking fwd to lots more use! Must have for any toddler!

This baby/toddler swing is great. We had an identical one for our two older children, but sold it...not knowing we would have a 3rd child :o) The swing was so nice and easy to use, I just bought the same exact swing this time around.

You might find the same product locally in some stores for the same price so the shipping and handling is an over head .

These blocks are definitely NOT the classic blocks I had expected. "Deluxe" is not a word I would use to characterize them. They are quite small and the quality is not as good as I had expected.

I got these blocks quite a while ago, proud of myself for finding these "good old blocks". They SUCK!! The paint was peeling off the first time it got a little saliva on it! The wood itself is very soft and easily destroyed and splintery!! Stay away from the Old Fashion Type Blocks!!!!!

This charming game is a fantastic way of getting to know what your friends are really like. Every round, you have an "adjective" card (like "normal" or "misunderstood"). Each player then takes one "noun" card from their hand and places it face down. A judge (a rotating position between players) chooses the noun card that they think matches the adjective the best. Of course, the real fun comes in trying to lobby for your card! ("No really, whips ARE normal!")

Apples to Apples is a quick set up and quick to learn game for the entire group. The idea is a simple one and lots of fun. Every person gets a certain amount of the red cards which have people, places, events and things on them. One person is chosen to be the judge and they choose a card from the green card pile in which each card has an adjective on it. The judge reads the card and definition if necessary. People then choose which of their red cards best fits that word. The judge then chooses which one he/she likes best and the winner keeps the green card. After collecting so many, that person wins the game. Everyone takes turns being the judge, so it stays fun for all. It's hilarious to see what people choose and game goes quickly. A great one to keep at home for any gatherings.

My teacher let us use this game during free time. Kids couldn't wait to play, it was so much fun. When there was a theme like scary or weird we would put kid shows which made it really funny. Once the theme was weird and a kid put teletubbies. The kid actually won. It is a real fun game. I will hopefully get it for my birthday.Also i hope i am writing on the correct apples to apples since im not sure if it was on the junior version or on the regular version.

I read the reviews. Some people did not like the toy, but most did. Another model someone said was crap! But, I am glad this toy is coming. I will write another review once it gets here. Everyone needs to read all of the reviews. Or you put yourself at risk! Plus I want to protect my money from my evil older brothers.
Rock on!

My grandson really likes this ATM machine bank. He likes to play with money and have it talk to him.

This toy is worth the money because it works really good and is very durable. It is not only fun for kids, but it is educational. It teaches kids the value of money.It is also easy to use. I lost the card that came in the box but it still works. You can use any card to turn it on. If you are someone who would like to save money in a way that is both fun and safe, buy this ASAP!

Peek n Play Eeyore??? Try Creepy Eeyore! Do the toy manufacturers ever listen to their toys before selling them? This toy was a gift to my 16-month-old daughter, and he sounds more like a "dirty old man" than Eeyore. He asks questions like, "Hi little baby. Want to play a game?" in a low creepy voice. I'm sure it was meant to be cute and interactive, but all the adults in the room were rolling on the floor laughing at the toy, while wondering if my daughter should actually play with it. It's humorous, but I don't think I'd recommend it.

I bought this toy for my baby, it was his first birthday. My son played with the toy, he loved the toy. I loved this toy, until the ears stopped working. We only had the toy for 3 weeks when they stopped moving. The toy still has the music/voice working. But it isn't the same with out the ears moving. He doesn't like it anymore. I don't have the packaging anymore to send it back. I wished it still worked.

I saw this online, then I was at Wal_mart a few days ago and found one for $7(the packaging was damaged). My 8mo old daughter LOVES this toy. She is mesmerized by the moving ears. When it stops moving she usually laughs loud enough to start it back up again. The rattle that comes with it works well too. We love this toy.

While I love Dr. Suess and his books, I didn't love leap frog's version of his book. Of course Dr. Suess's words were wonderful and I liked how simple the page lay outs were (compared to some cluttery leap frog books)
I did NOT like the un needed ugly phrases that the Leap Pad people added. (the bumble bee was rude and cruel!)
Even my son said "Mom that was UGLY!" to some of the phrases.
And the voices of some of the characters sound almost sinister. Maybe the "goth kids" grew up and got jobs at leap frog, but as I remember Dr. Suess he was funny and quirky NOT creepy.
Sorry leap frog guys, I feel that you missed the point, and tone of Dr. Suess's wonderful books. I feel that some of the phrases in this book are NOT age appropriate. I would like to see more "innocent" books where they are not cynical or cruel to each other.(3-5 year olds should not be forced to be cynical!)
I guess I am picky, I also don't let my son watch sponge bob, or tom and Jerry (too violent) BUT if you are not picky and think sponge bob is great, then you will probly like this book.
every mom is different....

I gave this book to my four year old son before a grueling 32-hour trip with four plane changes. He had a blast recording his own voice with the microphone. He had a wonderful time playing independently. It was so refreshing to see him laughing his heart out saying "NO, Pat!" and "Don't sit on that!"

Dr. Seuss is doing an excellent job teaching my 5 year old son to read. Hop on Pop is fun and exciting and supports letter/sound recognition. It develops reading patterns and reinforces the concept of rhyming words. I definitely recommend it for emergent readers.

My 5 yr. old son just LOVES this! He loves playing LEGO Star Wars on the Gamecube and loves to pretend with these. We are always rescuing the princess and fighting Darth Vader. We even consult Yoda for instructions. These have a button you slide so you can wave the base and the "light" saber flies out...lots of fun! Then it retracts with a little pushing/tapping and snaps into the base so you can wear it around using the clip (slides into a pocket or over the waistband of pants). The handles look really cool, too. This is a great deal at $5.29 and free shipping since the little figures are $6 for a 2-pk. at Target.

My daughter loves elmo, she was excited to see her new elmo toy for her 2nd borthday, she loves when it plays music she dances around, BUT when you turn the pages it will play a follow the light game instead of just playing music, she found that a bit frustrating.

My daughter recieved this gift for her first Christmas from her grandmother and went nuts. This had to have been the most played toy of the million that she has. Thank you Elmo!

We (my husband and I) brought this toy for our 2 year old last Christmas because then she was an Elmo fanatic. She still plays with this toy even though her intrests have shifted to Dora! At first I wasn't quite sure what this thing did except make noise but as I watched her play with it, I realized it taught her to follow directios.
It's a mode where elmo asks you to follow the light and the keys light up one by one as you press them and I was truly amazed at my baby actually following the directions.
This toy also teaches numbers. Overall, this toy is great for toddlers and tends to stay a favorite unlike those toys that end up at the bottom of the toybox
