Games Reviews

I wasted my money when I purchased this....they're cheap, thin and very itchy at least on my skin and I can't even imagine my baby's.....I use them as under sheets and I use this cotton very nice and soft receiving blankets I bought in sears on top and that does it for me.....also I bought other cotton sheets but if too thick then it won't fit good so your better off buying other ones from different brands or just using that one and then somethin else on top.

Actually, I used the sheets only 1 time...like the other reviewers stated, the fabric is not at all soft, but stiff and rough. And yes, the fabric is very thin. I tried washing the sheets a couple times, but the softness just wasn't there. And like the one reviewer, it seemed to pull up on the floor of the pack and play and pop right off. I ended up just wrapping a soft fleece blanket around the floor mat when the baby was in there (which, thankfully, wasn't very much).

We own these sheets and they are great specially for my nephew..they seem "thin" but actually they are not to thin...i washed them many times from baby puke...these sheets has saved our travel yard from the evil smell of vomit! and i put a light weight blanket under him (on top of the sheet.) when he was a newborn/1month old...these sheets kept our play yard very clean!! and we love them and will buy more when baby #2 comes! we also have the yellow one and this green one..they both get used daily and washed daily (if puke happens) and we love the easy on and easy off!

It seems like a nice complete set of playfood, except that the boxes are really flimsy cardboard, and I've thrown most of them out already. It doesn't take much to crush them. There are much nicer sets out there, and there are separate pieces sold on ebay, that are probably used but will stand the test of your kids much better. Not worth the money.

My daughter is just learning the foods, which is very educational. She loves to pretend to cook and names the food as she goes etc. The only thing that isnt durable are the cardboard pieces/boxes. She likes to chew them and the dogs...well- hope you dont have any puppys!

Yum...play food! This is a great set. I will buy it as soon as I find it. This is a great set! Lots of cans (good for storage), ice cream, boxed treats, cookies, (yummy), and of course, much more. And who could resist the spaghetti with meatballs? And is that chocolate chips on the ice cream? Oh my gosh, it's better than I thought.
You might think that to have a good time, your child needs 40 dollar Melissa and Doug wooden play food with real cutting noises and a Fisher Price 100 dollar kitchen for imaginative play. Bullpies, I say. I have tons of dollar-store food. I have ultra-realistic foam food from a kitchen set I got. I prefer the dollar store food. Dollar store food is better because it has more in one package, looks real, is cheap, pretty durable, and looks nice. I have a really silly play food set that came with a stovetop (small, but the knobs turn!), a pink and purple propane tank, a can of "barracuda" (seriously), and a can of "barracuda hash" which included barracuda, ham and eggs, chicken, turkey, potpie, and more eggs. But the logo has spam and a hotdog, and the front of it has beans, turkey, fish, sausage, and lots of weird meat. But it says "Eatable, 100% dainty, Present!, Daintiness, Dainty". Just wanted to let you know.
So, bottom line is, dollar store play food is much better than you think it is. It comes with lots of things that the expensive companies would never have dreamed of.

This plane only flys about 80 Feet from the Remote control before out of range. This does not give enough time or distance to do what the instructions say to do to manuver in flight. This was a total waste of time and money

My grandson has always watched his parents pump gas and played that he was pumping gas into his car. I got him the Electronic Sounds Pumper for Christmas, and he loves it! He has a real pump to drive his car to and then pump the gas with all the acompanying sounds. I highly recommend this product to anyone with young children.

It's awesome and my 2 yr.s old thinks he's pumping gas into his Cozy Coupe car!

My 19-month old was always pretending to pump gas into his Cozy Coupe--now he has sounds and the hose to play with. He really likes it and it is very durable. I would recommend this product.

This is on my list of must own games. It's a classic game that you'll always want around. I am constantly on the look out for games that will help train my kids' brains to see things in new ways and also provide some good family time. Set works for every age, all reading levels, and breaks language barriers (you can play this in any country). I enjoy playing with my kids or with other adults. Since the game is a deck of cards, it's easy for travel.

I watched as a friend of one of my kids made fun of the game. I understood that child "didn't get it" so I made the deck easier so she could learn the concept and to get her started. It did not take long for her to understand and grow with it. Every kid deserves the "leg up" of using their brains in different ways. Play Mozart, but play Set too.

This is a great game--get it! But do not be fooled by the "only online" message. Toy stores carry this game. This item costs about $12 plus over $7 (!!!) for shipping and handling, not including the tax (about $1.5). You'll be paying over $20 for a $12 game if you buy it online. Just go to the toy store and buy two... you'll need the extra deck.

[YES, over $7 for shipping!!!! r-i-p o-f-f!]

This is the best game! I play it with my kids, ages: 5, 9 & 11, and they ALL like it. I loaned it to my daughter's kindergarten class -- and they really got into it. I took it to family fun night at our school and parents & kids LOVED it. It's a great thinking game, and the sad part is -- my 5-year-old is better at it than the rest of us. A good value.

This wooden puzzle is very high quality and should last a life time. All three of my girls have loved this puzzle and it is still in wonderful condition!!! The animals are cute and very colorful. The plastic pegs are safe since they are buried deep in the puzzle piece, and they help the very young enjoy this puzzle. I highly recommend this puzzle!!!!

This is a great puzzle and my son loves it! He got when he was 18 months and has been able to work it from day one but still enjoys putting all the pieces in their place. It's a great way to teach the different animal names.

My daughter got a few of these Melissa & Doug peg puzzles for Christmas, she is now 16 months old and has mastered all of them by now so I keep buying new ones, I love that she loves to sit down and do them, It is so wonderful to sit and help her and watch her learn! I think these are wonderful! She gets so excited to play with her puzzles!

I purchased this item for my niece who was turning 6. I liked that it was not only a jewelry box but that she was able to use her creativity to personalize it. She did the project the week of her party, so I know it must have been something that appealed to her because it just did not sit around in the box for a long time. I also asked her about how she enjoyed painting it and using it and I got the thumbs up! Her mother did mention that she had to hold the stencils for my niece while she painted them or they would move around, so a little one may need help with those if they choose to use them.

i bought this for my cousins 10th birthday she is currently very interested in arts and crafts. she just loved the whole idea of getting to personalize her own jewerly box. it comes with more than enough paint to finish the box and with a index that tells you how to combine colors. the red velvet is of excelent quality. this poduct is hightly reccomended by my self and my little cousin.

I thought this would just be a box lined with velvet - anyways that's what I used when I was a kid. This jewelry box has all the compartments of an adult jewelry box! Hooks for hanging bracelets and dangle earrings, 3 rectangular shaped compartments, a long ring and earring compartment, and a pouch for jewelry that doesn't fit into those places. It is lined with plush red velvet.

The box is put together, surprisingly, with tendon and mortise construction. This results in a strong, interlocking box that's not going to fall apart with use. I expect other manufacturers would just glue the end pieces and over time with handling, they will break.

The hinge opens the top smoothly. All the pieces line up perfectly and have been sanded so there are no rough edges. The base of the box has a wavey design that gives it a fancy touch. I'm delighted with this jewelry box for my niece.

This backpack is a must have if you have a leappad system. The only thing I wish it had is more slots for the cartridges. But overall it is great!

My Grand daughter Loves her Pink & Purple Bag. Plus she can tell the difference between hers and her brothers on sight. ( Blue and Purple) !

My child loves the backpack. It is so nice to be able to keep things together. And Pink and purple are her favorite colors.

What looks like a cute idea turns out to be a big headache. The binoculars are difficult to see through. You constantly struggle with double vision in both the binoculars and viewmaster. And it's hard for younger ones to keep it in one mode without accidentally hitting the switch.

My daughter loves this toy. it's a little hard for 3 year old hands to hold and pull the lever at the same time. You have to pull it until it clicks in order for the reel to turn. I like the binoculars, but you have to adjust the lenses just right in order for her to see out of them.

Bought this for our granddaughter's third birthday. She is into everything Dora, so this had quite a bit of positive emotional equity going for it. She loves it, but probably uses the View Master option more than the binoculars. That said, she has had a great time watching backyard squirrels with the binoculars.It is NOT a toy that you hand to small children and tell them to go play with it. It takes some instruction and supervision; given that, it combines the attraction that View Master has enjoyed for decades along with the wonder of binoculars. Great educational toy.

The assembly went well. When using the track, the car doesn't get past the first trap door, even when shifting the gears in the friction car to high. I taped the first trap door shut to experience the rest of the track but nothing worked properly. It goes on a ramp that is suposed to invert and swing down but that doesn't work properly without grabbing the ramp and doing it manually, then when it gets to the next stunt, it is suposed to go through a slide-like ramp and come out and roll to the tomb, but it doesn't do it. This toy is as bad as Volcano Mt. Mountain.

We had the Rev Ups Skyway before this one and the Tomb Trap is much better. The Skyway set never stayed together. The main complaint I have about this one is that not all of the Rev Ups work with this track. The one that came with it kept getting stuck when it got up to the top. My son has several other Rev Ups though which do work well. My advice is to stay away from the larger looking SUV type Rev Up vehicles when using this track. Also, my son is 6 and it did take him some time to get the hang of this. You have to have the vehicle going at just the right speed & then shift it into high gear at the top. He's had lots of fun with this toy.

it is grate but look on the box and it will tell to rev it slowly and go faster and it works like on the tv commirshel the speed shifter is not stuck now
