Purchase Nanovor Nanoscope Digital Collectible Game
At first my son didn't care for this game and when he really understood it, he rates it as one of his favorite toy (among 100 or so other favorites lol). I did the signing up for him and the rest he did himself. He loves chatting with fellow gamers and scoring in the battles. There is a hand held game (with pretty good graphics) that you download battles and can play anywhere. Overall, this game is fun and it teaches using strategy when battling the monsters.Get more detail about Nanovor Nanoscope Digital Collectible Game.

She is a very good pet for little girls because she looks girly. Boys probably won't like it. This is a good present for all girls.Get more detail about WEBKINZ - Pink Poodle.
Shop For I-dog Clip-White
after exhaustive searching, i finally found a claim in a patent dispute document that the I-dog Clip can listen to music played near it via an external mic (like the full sized I-dog*). It cannot. while i could not find a clear claim to the contrary on Amazon or any other vendor site, i thought this could be made more clear. this product does not include a mic. there is no mic. the mic is a lie.
*** the I-dog clip is in fact significantly smaller than the head of a normal I-dogGet more detail about I-dog Clip-White.

Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Bob The Builder, Project Learn It Immediately
The video games from Click Start Leap Frog are fun, educational and durable. They make learning for my 4 year old pre-schooler fun. He uses the system all by himself, from putting the games into and pulling them out of the system, to running the mouse, arrows and other keyboard functions. He's better at the "computer" than I am! We have 7 of the games, which encompasses most of the Click Start line, and he enjoys all of them, but Diego is his favorite. I like that they have 2 levels of play, which make it harder for him as he gets better. All in all, a great product, and I recommend it for all parents of a young pre-school aged child.Get more detail about Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Bob The Builder, Project Learn It.

Kid Galaxy Rc Demolition Derby Buy Now
The cars stop running when they crash into something and their doors pop off. Then the kids come to you to "fix it" every 2 minutes. Not fun. Also, the cars and remote stay on when the kids give up and leave it lying on the floor so the batteries run out fast. Finally, one of the antennae has already broken off and the cars won't really run without that on the remote control. Not even sure how to approach fixing that. It would be more fun for older kids who could be more careful with the remote and who could put the doors back on themselves.Get more detail about Kid Galaxy Rc Demolition Derby.
Alma's Designs Today Is Order Now
This product is great for teaching young kids how to express what the weather is doing. Even if they are a little young like my daughter (2 1/2) they still think it's fun talking about the weather and what day it is etc.
We hang it high so she cannot reach it because the small pieces could get lost and I have a 16 month old who would eat them. But we have fun putting the pieces on together.

Fisher-Price Transportation System GeoAir High-Flyin' Airport Right now
The plane just goes around and around. That's it. The child doesn't even have to press the button the entire time - just once and that's it. It does NOTHING fun. You can't build the track like regular Geo Trax. It doesn't even connect to the other tracks in the system. It just goes around and around. It's lame, especially for the price!Get more detail about Fisher-Price Transportation System GeoAir High-Flyin' Airport.

Low Price Big Screen Tetris
Let me state for the record that I am a Tetris Addict. I'm not a gamer, I don't do Wii or Playstation or MMORPGs or any of that. But I love Tetris. It's a simple, conceptual puzzle that keeps my mind agile and is never the same twice. When my first GameBoy was stolen from me, I had to get a GameBoy Advance. I played it into the ground, and when it finally gave up the ghost, I started looking for replacements here on Amazon.
The first one I got was the Color Screen Tetris, which was a very satisfactory game UNTIL one of the little blocks on the bottom of the screen burned out ... and then another ...
Next it was the Radica Handheld Game Tetris. What a piece of junk. I tossed it in a matter of days, and you can read my review to see why, if you like.
Now I am using the Radica Big Screen Tetris. It's far better than Radica's handheld game, but it has three main drawbacks:
1: There is no adjustable level of skill.
2: The screen light that automatically comes on when your room is dark becomes less adequate for seeing those Tetris blocks as they start dropping faster and faster.
3: The game is pretty unforgiving, and that's really the only way I can put it. If you have played Tetris on a variety of devices, you'll know what I mean.
BOTTOM LINE: Only one game, only one skill level, and pretty near impossible to get past 100 lines and/or 150,000 points.
SO: Of the three Tetris games I have purchased from Amazon, I still have to give my highest marks to Color Screen Tetris. Although it sucks batteries pretty quickly, it has a GREAT screen, adjustable skill levels on the various games, and good controls. If only those little blocks didn't start burning out!

Save Vtech Ride and Learn Giraffe Bike
My 3 year old son got this for Christmas this past year to help him learn to pedal a bike before spring. It helped a bit but his feet seemed to keep slipping off the pedals; it was odd, I couldn't figure out what was going wrong. Now that it's the end of May and he's pedaling his "big boy bike" around outside like crazy I figured it out: it's the lack of resistance on the pedals. Imagine going to work out on a stationary bike and getting zero resistance. It would be frustrating and no fun right? Well that's the problem with the Giraffe Bike too. But the upside is that he can still play the games on the cheapy screen. He also calls it his cow, throws on a hat, and plays cowboy with the bike =PGet more detail about Vtech Ride and Learn Giraffe Bike.
Discount LeapFrog Tag Junior Book: Pooh Loves To
This book seems to have A LOT more activities than most of the other books we own, and we have 11 of them. This one is always downloaded into our Tag Jr. This one has the most stuff on the page and different sayings. Ni Hao Kilan (sp?) has more songs and music than the rest which is great. Cars is actually kind of disappointing. The Dr Seuss Mr Brown is a good one too.
My 2 1/2 yr old LOVES her Tag Jr. It is played with mulitple times a day for 2 months now with no end insight.Get more detail about LeapFrog Tag Junior Book: Pooh Loves To.
Cheapest Fisher-Price Kid - Tough Walkie Talkies
These walkie talkies are junk. Filled with static, bad reception even at short range, the packaging was very difficult to cut into (even using utility scissors) and inserting a battery required a tiny screwdriver. My kiddo played with them for about 10 minutes and promptly lost interest. Waste of money.

Spinmaster Air Hogs Havoc Stingers Assortment
Love this toy. I've had it about a week and flown it several times every day. Requires some dedication and patience to fly with any precision. Challenging to learn but enjoyable in the extreme! Must be careful to stop power when you think it's about to crash, or buy a lot of spare tail rotors, 12for$13. Have flown it into ceiling fans, walls, water dishes and it still keeps flying! Recommend for gizmo/techie types of all ages.Get more detail about Spinmaster Air Hogs Havoc Stingers Assortment.
Fisher-Price Kid Tough Portable DVD Player Pink Review
I purchased this toddler friendly portable DVD player because I thought it would keep my toddler entertained and it would last. But I put on Toy Story and it the power lasted MAYBE 45 minutes. So I charged it ALL night and most of the day and when I got home the next day I put the movie Cars on and the same thing happened. My daughter was unhappy and therefor so was I! This was the WORST money I have spent! I so regret making this purchase!Get more detail about Fisher-Price Kid Tough Portable DVD Player Pink.

Air Hogs R/C Jet Scream Airplane Immediately
First off, I've been flying this plane for over a year now. I bought one as my first RC plane. For this price, I figured I could afford to build my flying skills on it, and I was not disappointed. If you're looking for a serious RC plane then you may not like this one that much. It MUST be flown in little to no wind and a charge lasts for about 10 minutes of flight time. However, if you want something to just mess around with and hone your flight skills for bigger, better planes, then this one is terrific. I now own two of these since I found it works out very well to fly one til it dies then charge it up while flying the other. You have virtually no "down-time" this way. Both planes are still in good shape after a year of use. I fly over a grassy field and have not broken anything... yet. Wind is the biggest adversary to this plane. It is made of a styro-foam-like material and is very light. It almost has the feel of a controled kite, especially when it is at a high altitude. It is designed to use it's engines to control it's steering and altitude. If you want to go higher, give it more power and point it into the breeze. I've had this thing scary-high and have had to just cut power and let it fall to a lower height. It took a little while to master but like I said, it was my first RC plane. Now I can toss-launch it and not bring it down til the battery runs out. And alot of the time I bring it right back and catch it in my hand. One thing I will mention, the first plane I bought flies better than the second. The body on the 2nd was bent up more and the stabilizers are at a different angle. So each may have it's own slightly different flight characteristics to get used to. But you'll love every minute once you get dialed in on it. For the price, I highly recommend. Happy flying!!Get more detail about Air Hogs R/C Jet Scream Airplane.

So I got this camera for my 4 year old. She likes it, but she is 4. She likes any toy that is pink and works.

Leapfrog Zippity Learning Game: Disney Pixar Cars Order Now
The objective of a video game is to entertain (bonus if it educates too). On this criteria alone, I give it a whole 2 stars - it bores quickly. Unfortanately that also goes for the Zippity built-in games and the Princess & The Frog game too. I am very disappointed in Leap Frog for putting out a boring video system with only a few BORING games to choose from. Save your money and buy a yo yo, your child will have more fun.Get more detail about Leapfrog Zippity Learning Game: Disney Pixar Cars.
Halo Radio Control Warthog with Two Figures Decide Now
My boyfriend is completely obsessed with all the HALO video games & Books. He mentioned this toy a few weeks before our Anniversary so I drove around the city looking for it. I couldn't find it anywhere so I turned to the internet. I was able to get the toy for cheaper here than anywhere else even with shipping included. I received the toy in about 2 1/2 weeks in the mail. The box it came in created the illusion that it was fairly large but when I opened it, it turns out that the toy itself is actually much smaller than what I had expected. It was packed extremely well and there was not a scratch on the box nor a dent in the thin plastic that allows you to view the toy through it (which is very important for somebody like my boyfriend). I wish I include a picture of him opening it because his face was priceless and he didn't give a second look at anything else I bought him. He immediately set it up. It is VERY quiet for an RC car though the radio waves seem to be a bit weak. He has to walk within a few feet of it to control it well. The figures are absolutely adorable and very well made though the spartan that handles the turret falls off with any little movement the car makes so my boyfriend super glued him. :) Overall, I would say this toy is very well made and very sturdy. It was able to survive several ramps off our stairs and handles fairly well on rough terrain. For any HALO fan, I'd say its a great gift even if it just sits on a shelf because its fun to look at and its clearly a lot more fun to play with :).

Save Digital Blue Disney Pix Jr Digital Camera - Princess
this is a terrible camera! It is much bigger than it looks. One thing that is not in the description is that it makes a very annoying and loud noise anytime you push a button, no way to shut it off. I wasn't impressed already. Then after just 5 minutes of using it, just me, no kids involved or any rough handling, it started messing up. the top half of the screen stayed just gray, with visible pixels. I tried formatting the disc a few times then called Digital Blue customer service. The guy was really nice on the phone, explained how to format the disc, I did it again, still no results. He finally asked for my email address so he could send me shipping instructions to get it fixed. all this was within 3 weeks of Christmas. He said it would probably be back in time. I waited and waited for that email, I had a reference number, I called again, they said they would send it again, nothing. Now it's less than 2 weeks till Christmas! I ended up contacted Amazon, returning the camera as defective and ordering a VTech Kidizoom instead. much better. no great yet, but much much better!Get more detail about Digital Blue Disney Pix Jr Digital Camera - Princess.

Cheap Leapfrog Learning Baby Tad
My six-month-old received this as a present, and after just ten minutes of "play," we decided to put Tad in the Salvation Army pile. The toy is REALLY loud -- as in, can hear it three rooms away loud. I'd be worried that it would damage our son's hearing over time. In addition, there is little educational value. If you press the hands, the feet, or the belly, Tad either speaks or sings, but again, I cannot express how deafeningly loud it is. The songs aren't all that enjoyable, so it's not like you'll find yourself singing along to them with your child. I don't recommend this toy at all.Get more detail about Leapfrog Learning Baby Tad.

Order Mini Remote Control 3 Channel -BLACK Wolf Super Model OX-Wolf R/c Helicopter Team RC
This is an awesome toy!
It is a toy, don't think that you are buying a hobby r/c helicopter - you are buying an IR (infrared requiring line of sight) tiny little helicopter.
It will take off a smooth surface but will sometimes get caught on carpet.
It will fly forwards and backwards and turn and hover but it won't go super fast
It is loads of fun and you will crash a few times but most likely it will take a while before you have to buy new blades. A great 5 minute diversion from a busy work day.
Oh, and it will eat through AA batteries - get some rechargeable ones!
For the price + amazon prime eligible I am happy as can be!Get more detail about Mini Remote Control 3 Channel -BLACK Wolf Super Model OX-Wolf R/c Helicopter Team RC.
