I registered for this item and received it. It engages my 2.5 month old for about 10-15 mins. I had to hang infantino toys on it that were made for her carseat to make it more interesting to her. I wish the mat was a little more cushy so that I didnt need to put a blanket under it on my hardwood floors. Overall... I could take it or leave it. I am now researching a new mat that will engage her more.

We actually purchase this playmat when our son was about 2 months old. The reason we chose it was because we read that babies see the colors black and white and red the best. He is now 3 1/2 months old, and still LOVES this playmat. The toys that attach can be changed out with different toys. This helps keep our son interested longer. We actually have taken toys that aren't made specifically for this product and attached them (rattlers, rings, etc.). I don't know what we would do without this playmat. It keeps our son entertained for 20-30 minutes at a time!

My daughter is now 3 months she has been playing with this gym since she was 6 weeks. At first she would just look mesmerized by the colors and shapes but now she touches the toys (we hung our own) she rolls over and looks at the color and patterns on the mat as well as her toys I have on there. She uses it daily and moves all over in it. Until she sits up completely on her own this is a great toy.

This was given to my son for his 5th birthday. He has played with this almost non-stop since opening it. With only a couple minutes of explaination he was off and running on his own. I can't recommend this toy enough for young kids who have any interest in building and/or science. He is so excited about being able to build working designs all on his own!

I bought this for my 6-year old neighbor. Even as I gave it to him, I thought, "He's gonna hate it!" Even he thought he would hate it and he told me so! Well, then we started playing. I helped with the first of the 101 experiments which are all very clearly described in the kit. Once we finished the first experiment, he was done with me and off on his own.

I cannot recommend this kit highly enough. My young friend loves it. He isn't crazy about reading, but he can easily understand the diagrams in the experiment booklet. To see his face light up when he first wired up a doorbell all my himself was a wondrous thing.

Although the toy is recommended for children ages 8 to 108, I do think first graders can enjoy it after some gentle guidance from an adult.

I'll be purchasing the more advanced version for my young neighbor long before his next birthday. This is one fun AND educational toy!

Exceeded our expectations- My son loves the product, and is excited to show his buddies what he can do with it, and then they are interested in using it with him. He is 7- and the only problem we have is that his two year old brother wants to use it as well (I wouldn't recommend this for anyone younger than 5 years old).

It's The Year of Yao and this figure is a fitting tribute. Peas and mashed potatoes, folks. It doesn't get much better. The detail on this figure is cutting edge perfect. Whether you're a Rockets fan like me, or just collect mega-cool action figures, I wouldn't pass this one up.

What a waste of money this thing was. We were all excited having a little camp out for my grandson. Took out the Smores maker and all the ingredients. Plugged it in and started cooking the marshmallow.
We waited and waited and the marshmallow never got soft enough to make the smores. I ended up having to make them over the burner on the stove.
Save your money and just fire up your stove.

I bought this for my 24 year old self, mostly because I remembered camping out and making s'mores over a real campfire and wanted to share a little bit of that with my 5 year old without worrying about building a fire in the backyard.

I bought it, bought the s'mores fixins and got it home only to realize I didn't have the light bulb, so we just ran back to the grocery store and picked one up.

The first marshmallows take a while to get warmed up, but after it's heated up it seems to go much faster. We had a blast with it and look forward to our weekend treats.

My 8 year old daughter receieved this as a Christmas gift. It wasn't one of the first toys she opened and played with, but when she did get around to using it, it was a BIG HIT!! My daughter, along with my 6 year old son, and 13 year old daughter have been using this every day. I had no trouble at all finding a light bulb, I had 2 of the already in the garage. I didn't realized it was supposed to be large marshmallows, I had bought the minis. We improvised and have been using them on thinner shishkebob skewers. Today I have to get more s'more supplies so I'll get the large ones. If they take a long time to cook, I'll just go back to the mini's. It is rare to have all 3 kids like something so much. I give it a thumbs up! Only once did a marshmallow fall into the machine. I did have to take it apart, but it didn't take that long.

This item should have been available in the store. I should not have had to pay shipping because the store did not have the item.

I received this as a gift for my one year old twins and it is one of their favorite toys. They now play peek a boo with us and eachother through the tunnel and have spent much time playing with it.

I ordered this toy for my 2 dogs who are still quite young and are in desperate need of distraction and activity when I can't take them out for walks. It's just as much fun for them as it is for children, I'm sure. Plus, it's easy to open, close and store! I keep this product in my backyard and so far, it's been resistent to the rainy weather we've had.

This toy is HORRIBLE! If there were a way to give it zero stars, believe me, I would. We bought this about a week ago, have tried to use it twice and it does not work at all. The "instructions" (a one page paper with one small paragraph in English) state that when there is no ball in the center tube, the water flow should reach 6 feet... it didn't even reach 3 feet! The sprinklers at the bottom only shoot out about six inches or so. If even one ball gets in the center tube where they are supposed to shoot out of, the water gets completely blocked and NO water at all comes out. I am so disappointed in the terrible product. I expect so much more from Little Tikes and I can honestly say this is the ONLY Little Tikes product that I have not loved. I emailed Little Tikes to this effect yesterday and have yet to hear back from them. Bottom line, don't waste your money and just have your kids play in the garden hose, it is MUCH more fun. This product falls FAR short of the high quality Little Tikes is so well known for.

I wish I had this last summer! My son loves this sprinkler. It gives him something else to do beside run around in the water.(Playing with the balls that is.) The balls don't stay in the water if the pressure is up to high. Turn it down just a little though and it is all fun! My husband and I laughed alot watching our son put the balls in, watch then pop up and hang out in the water, then knock it out and start all over again. To a 3 year old - it was way cool! I like how it is not just the one stream coming out the top either, the other streams coming out the sides make for good cooling off! The only thing is - keeping it level. But other then that - he can play on his own and we can get some yard work done! Thanks Little Tykes!

My son received this for his 2nd birthday and we all LOVE it! This toy allows for hours of interactive fun in the sun. The balls stay in the water spray for long periods of time - many times my son just knocked it out to put it back in (although it does have to be level and straight to work properly).

We have had no problems that some of the other reviewers have mentioned - perhaps due to water pressure and types of soil?

We would recommend this toy to anyone and everyone!

This is a great game! And it is even better with the expansion. You can play with more people and you have more room to build. We have gotten all our friends hooked on it!

Expect the game to last a bit longer, obviously, and also a couple of rule changes. Because players collect resources at a greater rate between turns, the expansion pack rules allow a player to buy betweens turns, instead of just during a turn.

This makes things a bit more confusing, but once the adjustment is made, the game runs fine.

If you like the game, and want to add a person or two, the expansion is a must.

This is a pretty basic expansion pack; pretty much exactly what you'd expect. It simply makes Settlers of Catan playable by 5-6 players (the original box is for 3-4 players). More players can make the game more fun (more people to trade with and whatnot), but it does make the game longer, which is not a problem for most people.

I bought this for my three month old and he seems to like it. It has lots of different textures and of course lots of different bright colors so that really attracted him to it.

My baby (4 months)loves that toy. It hangs on his play mat.He loves to look at it and grab it.It is great that it rattles. He likes to grab the rings. Babies can explore different textures and shapes with that.

I kept this toy in the car and would hook it onto my now 13 month old son's high chair or stroller when we would go out. He loved chewing on the toys and pulling them through the knot center. Lots to do and kept him entertained while waiting to eat. Now he does not play with it, but the 8 month old I watch loves it.
