I love this high chair. The best feature is the 3 snap-on trays (which snap onto the main big tray). When your child is done, you stick the tray in the dishwasher -- and you always have a clean tray for the next meal!

I was not happy over all with this product. When my daughter went to use the paint they were all dried up. The paints were very old. We had to go out and buy our own paint so she could do this project. So how do you explain to a 8 yr old why sanata brought something that she couldn't use.

I gave this to someone for christmas, and then we went to paint it and the paint was hard, it was like putty. It is a very nice toy but i was very disapointed that we had to go out to the craft store to buy new paint because the supplied paint had turned into putty.

My daughter who is 7 is very creative and she just loved this lamp because she was able to design it to match her room.

Woc has done it again. They have released another editon, and it is supearior. Edition 3.5 is very like third (Hence the .5), but realy cleans up the classes and makes things more balanced. This book is good, but the new Players Handbook 3.5 Edition just blows it out of the water. They tweaked all that needed tweeking, and left the good stuff there. Toss your third Edition and go buy 3.5!

I wouldn't listen to anyone that claims the "new and improved" 3.5 is any bit "new and improved".

3.0 is truly the right blend of D&D tradition and sound game mechanics. 3.5 is a pile of garbage house-rules for actual D&D crafted by a new batch of "limited" designer minds.

This book is D&D 3rd edition, no other.

This book for most people is the only book you will ever need for Dungeons & Dragons. While there are many more accesories expanding the game, This is the ancor, and the only book needed for a player. It includes all of the Races, Classes, Spells, Feats, and Items you need to make and run a Charactor.
The best art of this book is that not only does it list all the things you need to know, it explains in full detail how all things are related to each other. If read like a book, (front to back not just paging for specifics) It spells out what you need, need to do, and how to. You start with the abilities, go into races, classes, and then skills, and items. Finsihing with spells, and feats.
Over all, i would rae this 5, because of what it offers, and its necesity to the game it serves. i recomend you buy it, even if you dont buy it here.

This is a game I play with my kids or alone with my husband - we're all hooked. It's simple and quick to learn, without a lot of gimmicks you find with other prepackaged card games ("no, Mom, the floppit can only go in the quirzy pile when it's a gorpin turn and otherwise you have to pass to the limburger.")

I like SkipBo because the kids often win, not because we're letting them but because they've got a better hand, better luck, better strategies; whatever. You don't have to feel like you're letting them win - it happens naturally. And then they feel naturally smart, or lucky, and gloat for hours. If an adult does win, the kids usually accept that it's fair and square.

About my only complaint with this game is that there are about a thousand cards that come in the deck. Shuffling is no simple matter for me, a small-handed person. I generally separate the deck into two piles, shuffle those, then shuffle them together the best I can. But it's impossible for the kids to do on their own, and makes game setup a little tedious at the very beginning.

Skipbo is flexible in that you can choose to play the full 30-card game (takes a while, so bring a snack and choose a comfy cushion!) or a quicker game with only 15 or even 10 cards. You can play with two players or more, though I recommend using fewer cards with more people because otherwise the game will take forever - not entirely a bad thing!!

Why is it that the low-tech, deceptively simple games and toys are the ones we keep coming back to time and again?

Invest ten bucks in this game or buy someone a set for a birthday present. You'll be thanked many times over in the form of kids asking politely if they can cream you once again... :-)))

My high school girlfriend introduced me to this game when she moved into our town in 1983, we loved it then and still love it today.
We just had a reunion last weekend, and she called to make sure I was bringing the skip-bo cards along!! Very simple to learn and our kids love it as much as we do.

On a recent trip to visit my fiance's family his grandma whipped out this game. I was skeptical at first but this game is great fun. Easy to learn and play you will never tire of skip-bo. I brought back the game and my roommate is always challaging me to a game.

My son loves this game it is a little too old for his age group of five but he does well on it. Would recommend for five and up.
It offers lots of learning games with the character you child loves.

This one is another gift for my son and I know that he will flip to have this game. Thank You.

This game was very educational. My son has learned a lot from it.

This is a great game. My parents introduced me to this game and now our entire family is hooked. Though luck does play a small part, it is mostly strategy. It is relatively easy to learn and very addictive once you get a hang of it. The best part is, it doesn't get boring and evolves as you become a better player.

This particular version however is not one I would recommend. If you plan on playing it a lot I would suggest spending a few dollars more and buying the deluxe version. I bought this one for my grandparents and they have a hard time identifying the colors, which is a very important aspect of the game. The holders for the bones are also inexpensively made and collapse if you are not very careful.

Good buy for adult players, not so good for younger or older players.

Great game for adults as well as children - becomes addictive! Even better with the new sturdier stands which was the only disadvantage of the old set.

Rummikub is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year! Celebrate by grabbing a set and enjoying a game with your family. It plays out pretty much like Rummy with cards, so it won't be a tricky game to learn, and you can even modify the rules to suit your favorite type of rummy (we like to play Gin Rummikub). This is a relatively easy game, most kids who have good counting skills are more than capable of playing it.

One great feature about this game is that many elderly people love to play cards, but due to arthritis or poor vision, have trouble doing so. Rummikub solves that problem; the writing on the tiles is large and the tiles are easy to pick up and put down. Why not buy one for your family and buy an extra to donate to your local nursing home? The game is certainly a reasonable value!

I think that this stuffed toy pony is VERY cute,but costs alout of money.Christmas is coming up,and I want that toy.But I can not get it.I already have a full list of things I want,and ends up to alout of money,so now if I add the pony to my list,it will be too much money.I and my family are Hurricane Katrina victaims and I want a good Christmas.Can you please try to lower the price for Christmas?Customers,you should get this toy,but it costs $60.00!But it is cute.

My 5 year old loves this toy! It hangs from our tree and she gets it going in a circle and pulls up her feet and lets go! She goes round and round! My older 2 like it too, and all they have to do is throw it up and around the branch so it is closer to the branch, making it shorter for taller kids. When they are done, the unwrap it and it is ready for my 5 year old again.

I tried this toy out at my friends house. It is the best ever.
Every kid(13 and under) needs to have it!!!

I bought this last Christmas for my (then) very active 4 year old boy. It is hands-down the favorite toy in my neighborhood for everyone. Even my 2 year old can now hang from it and swing. I believe it has been instrumental in helping with balance, agility and coordination. You should see the tricks my son & his best friends- 4 year old twin girls -have taught themselves to do!
Amazing! Hanging it was an obstacle- my husband has to climb up the tree- but you only need to do it once.

It's weathered very well- the rope and the handle are still in great condition and it was left out all winter (in NJ)!
