(always sweeping them up...) 『My three boys play with the legos all the time. Wish they weren't quite so small....』
(legos) 『These legos where cheapest I found any where and they really pleased my little brother.』
(a child hood must) 『Legos, they are a tradition in our home. The legos are great, warning though, the container is much bigger than the actual amount of Legos you get. So consider it as a 2 for one deal, Legos and a storage container for them and the extra ones you may already have.』
(Great Purchase) 『Product arrived as expected in great condition. Made an excellent Christmas Gift for my children. Would definitely use this shop again.』 『Kids' imaginations are opened to endless possibilities with this new assortment of LEGO bricks. Includes windows, doors, flowers and a LEGO figure to help jump-start the building process. New container allows for easy clean-up and efficient storage. Includes building instructions for three models and photo inspiration for 15 more. 221 pieces. Tub measures 7.56"H x 11.34"W x 7.99"D.』

TINY LOVE
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Baby loves it!) 『I was at first upset that the mobile did not fit our Pali crib - however I was able to rig it (I tightened the screw enough that the mobile was clamped against two vertical slats. The mobile base is supposed to clamp on the vertical crib bar, but allows only a certain width, and our crib was wider). Baby ignored it during the first month, but then slowly started tracing the moving toys with his eyes and at 3 months coos and laughs every time I turn it on. He can be entertained by this for 20 minutes or more, which is the longest I have managed with any toy/activity. Absolutely wonderful! Note however, that it is stimulating - I wouldn't use it if I wanted to put baby to sleep.
Other positives:
1. music is pleasant; listening to it several times a day for a couple of months, I am still not sick of it. 2. can lower the volume and even eliminate the music (still keeps baby entertained and allows mommy to make a phone call). 3. looks sturdy, and much nicer than other mobiles that spin on a horizontal plane (our baby ignores such a mobile on his swing). 4. long battery time. 5. can choose to operate without the night light or music. 6. when choosing to operate without music you can't hear the motor noise.
Negatives: 1. may not fit all cribs and info about fit is not posted on the box or product description. 2. the night light does not attract baby's attention. 3. the remote is unnecessary. 4. the toys soemtimes get caught in my hair when I bend over to change the baby (because they are all different sizes and rotate on an angle).
』
(She Loves It!) 『Our 3-month-old loves this mobile. The moving parts grab her attention and make her laugh, and the music is pretty decent.』
(excellent) 『Bought it when my daughter is 3.5 month old. She was so excited to watch it that she made lots of strange sounds that I never heard of before. So I rate as 5 star.』
(Great product) 『I purchased this for my twins (11 weeks old now) to give them something to entertain them while they are awake during the night (so I can sleep more!). They both love to look at it, and they seem to like the music, too. I also like the remote, so I can turn it back on from my bed.
The music is better than I expected - it sounds more piano-like than many of the other little noisemaking things out there. My one complaint is that, even on the soft setting, the music is a little loud. The twins are in a crib in my room right now, and I'd prefer something a little softer while I'm sleeping, although it's not so loud that it prevents me from falling asleep. I just pulled the bumper up over the speaker portion and it dampened the sound a bit. Having the music sound nice (there is a Mozart setting, a Bach setting, and two nature-inspired settings that have nature sounds and classical music) definitely helps!
Overall, the mobile is very cute. The animals each spin on their own axis, as well as turning around in a larger circle with the others, so there is a lot for the babies to look at. I'm pleased with it.』
(Great Item but didnt do much for us) 『This product has been designed well except for the motor which is noisy and annoying especially if you are using the mobile in mute. I like the characters, the colors, the way they move and the music. Well for some reason, it never did anything for my little one. She just plainly ignores it hence the rating of 4 stars.』 『The arch of this unique mobile is designed like a tree trunk with green leafy branches extending outwards to give each friendly creature its own presence. Each of the three adorable characters - giraffe, monkey and bird - does a special "dance" as it dangles from the tree. Features 20 minutes of continuous musical with four melodic tunes (two classical and two nature) and calming night light. Uses 3 "C" (LR14) 1.5V batteries (not included). Measures 15" x 14" x 5".』

Personally, i would also love it if only i'm young enough to play with it! ha ha ;) definitely will recommend this product for everyone who have kids or just for a gift for someone else.』
(Very entertaining for kids, but one fatal flaw...) 『We purchased both this item as well as the other ballerina one; and we were very pleased with what we got! They are much cuter in person and come in a nice wooden box which is very nice ------ EXCEPT FOR ONE THING: It doesn't have a LID!!!!!!!! I find it unacceptable that a toy that consists basically of small parts, for kids, can come in a nice wooden FRAME, instead of a box. I was hoping that there would be at least a plastic lid of some sort, but not even that. Once you remove the plastic wrapping you end up with a wooden frame that serves no purpose.
However, the girls LOVED the toy itself. Too bad that by the end of the day, half the pieces were already lost. 』
(Love this toy but why no box top?) 『My daughter (age 2) loves these dolls!! Great gift for any little girl. My only issue with the toy is that there is no top/lid for the box. We ended up buying a separate container and throwing away the wooden box which was a nice way to keep the pieces separated. I would definitely have given 5 stars if the storage was better.』
(My 2 and 5 year olds love it) 『I ordered this as a gift for my 2 year old. She and her 5 year old sister love it. It has given them hours of fun so far and has been durable enough for a 2 year old. I recommend this to anyone.』
(Pretty, durable, what is that smell?) 『My 4 yr old daughter received this item as a gift for her birthday. We still cannot figure out why it smells like some kind of weird plastic! It makes the whole room smell; it's very odd. My daugher does enjoy playing with the toy, though. We are hoping the smell will dissipate.』 『An innovative combination of magnets and wood, this dress-up set is sure to provide hours of imaginative play. Magnetic dress-up doll includes stand and loads of colorful, magnetic outfits and accessories for pretend play. 24 pieces. Measures 8.5" x 11.5" x 1.5".』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Bought As Gift - What A Hit!) 『I bought the NeoCube as a gift for my youngest brother (age 11). We do an exchange at my grandma's house every year with all the cousins present. Some of my other brothers and cousins left their gifts alone because they wanted to play with the NeoCube. It was a real hit! My aunt asked me where I got it because she wanted to get one for her kid too.』
(Magnetic Balls) 『I got these for my daughter for Christmas. They are the same thing as the infamous "Bucky Balls" except for about $10 less, they don't come in a plastic case for shipment or to put them in. Big whoop, get a baggie. I rated it a 4 on educational value only as they are just magnetic balls. Durability is great except I see losing several over time, easy to do. Overall it is a great toy but be forewarned - if you have small children or animals around, these magnetic balls can be dangerous. Read the warning label. If they swallow some, head for the doctor/er. As long as they are handled properly, get them. fun to play with.』
(Physicist delilght) 『Gave this to my physics prof son, and he played with it all Christmas day, like a little boy! Most fun! 』
(Great but...) 『These little guys are great. They are strong and take shape well. We put some on the fridge and were able to make three dimensional magnets so all around there great and have some fun uses but if we were to do it again I think we would purchase Bucky Balls instead. They seem to keep their shape better and be just a bit more versatile.』
(This "toy" will fascinate anyone from age 10 to 100.) 『I gave 10 of these for gifts to family, friends and clients - BIG hit with everyone!!!』 『One Puzzle, Billions of Solutions -- Continuously create new patterns and shapes with these cool cubes, composed of multiple individual high-energy rare-earth magnets. With no set right answer, this puzzle has nearly infinite options in construction. You can completely disassemble and reassemble the cube or simply manipulate it with your hands - you completely control the outcome of the multi-dimensional form. Each magnetic sphere is essentially a point, several spheres can be arranged into a line, lines can be formed into two-dimensional shapes, and these shapes can then be combined into three-dimensional objects. -- Using your NeoCube to create shapes could actually exercise both hemispheres of your brain, because it encourages you to be creative and constructive. Playing with your NeoCube also helps eliminate stress through the unique sensation of the magnets, the audible sound of each magnet connecting, and the creativity used to produce new shapes.』

Not sure paying the deluxe version price is worth it. Seems like alot to pay for a plastic tray that just keeps the cards in place.』
(Good for kids, not adults) 『Somehow I got the impression from the commercials that this game was fun for adults like normal Scrabble. It is not. It is for kids, do not buy it if you are an adult and want an intellectually stimulating game. It is probably great if you have kids though.』
(Hands down great game) 『We play a lot of games and this is one of our favorites now. It's fast paced and fun. We are buying one for our friends for Christmas.』
(Scrabble on Speed) 『I find the game stimulating and so different from other games I've played. I am most skilled verbally (but math scares the hell out of me), and this game is a challenge because it is played with only 4 letter words, so vocabulary is not of much concern. I like it for me as an elder citizen (62 y/o) because I feel it keeps me verbally alert at an important time in my life to do that. I like it a lot because I can play with my friends and my 5&6 year old great-nieces. Also, it is very compact and can easily be played on a plane or in a car, etc. Anyone can play and most everyone will enjoy its fast paced structure, ease for all ages, and super-easy to take it along when traveling. Plus, it will keep the kids occupied, adults can play with kids, and it will keep adults occupied as time flies by! Even though I have good verbal skills, I am not the winner in at least 3/4 of the games I play. I can write, I know words, and think/speak well "on my feet," but I am just not as fast as many others! They love that!!
another topic: One of my friends and I play regular Scrabble just about every time she can get here or I can to her home (we live over 25 miles apart) and we started keeping count, and use a steno pad for keeping record of each game. We are up to #125. We had many more games before we started this steno pad, keeping the pages numbered. Some might say we're a bit obsessive/compulsive but we just keep on playing. Both of us experience what we call "Jonesing" for a game after about 4 days without playing!』

(Good fun for Leapster) 『My four-year-old son loves this game. It is a bit challenging for his age, but he still loves it. The game focuses on math, puzzles, sequencing and logic. For example, you must play games (puzzles, complete the task) to earn enough points to build coasters and food booths. My son says he likes to build the "most awesomest coaster ever!" Pretty good feedback for an educational game!』
(Good Knowledge Builder for Kindergarden/1st graders) 『My twins daughters received this for Christmas and they are enjoying this product. They are learning sight words as well as concept building and this product seems to address and build upon what they have been taught.

(A must have game!) 『My five year old son received this game for Christmas and has loved it. We play it on the Leapster 1 so we don't have full access to all the options but are entertained the same.

(Maybe because I don't like trivia...) 『I did not really enjoy this game...but that might be because I am not into trivia. I would not recommend this game to anyone who likes party games.』
(Way Fun for all.) 『This game is fun for most all ages. You do not have to be a brain in order to play and even if you have a memory that is getting older you can play. The game helps you to remember and get an answer. Moves quicker than most trivia games. Could not find this for a Christmas present as everyone was sold out, tell you anything. Would recommend this definitely. This was a gift that I purchased, so now am going to get one for us.』
(Fun Game for a Loud Group) 『This is a good game for a group that likes to get loud. My only complaint is that there aren't more spaces around the board. It seems that with a little luck you could end the game quite quickly. That being said - when playing with a lot of people we were able to keep the focus of the group because game play was so fun and fast.』 『Who's the the Smart Ass among your friends and family? Find out with this outrageous, fast-paced party game. Each Who, What and Where am I? card has ten clues. You never have to wait for your turn in this game. Just yell out the answer as soon as you know it. Timing is everything for the true Smart Ass. Jump in too early and you may blow your chance!

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Is this Barbie as Bella or Bella made by the Barbie company?) 『I found my Pink Label Edward Cullen and Bella Swan/Cullen Twilight Edition Barbies at K-Mart. I'm a huge fan of the books and I do like the movies (the screaming psychotic fans, not so much!) well enough. My only real complaint is about the Bella doll because the likeness to Bella herself is lacking. This doesn't look like Bella made by Mattel. Instead it looks like Barbie with a brown wig and Bella's clothes. I would have liked it to look more like Bella and less like Barbie. You could literally dress her up in different clothes, heels, a blond wig and you wouldn't know it was the Bella doll unless you look closely at the eye color.
TheBarbie Twilight Edward Doll on the other hand looks nothing like Ken. Edward shimmers, he is very pale, his eyes are alluring, he's got that signature James Dean hair and his face is very angled and chiseled like the shadows on the actors face in the movies. He may not be a DEAD (ha ha, get it? vampire... dead... ha) ringer for a Robert look-alike but he passes for a Twilight vampire well enough to satisfy my Twilight heart.
In conclusion, if you're a Twilight fan who loves the books as well as the movies and you enjoy collecting Twilight memorabilia the dolls are a must have. I intend on buying the Jacob doll to complete my Twilight Pink Label collection!』

(Good kids microscope) 『I looked very hard for a durable microscope for my 7 yr old and so far this one is holding up. It has a good weight and construction to it. Comes with a nice set of materials to work with such as slides (some prepared, some blank), covers, forceps, dyes, etc. Focusing has been good, have had no trouble yet.』
(design flaw?) 『bought this after reading the good reviews for this microscope.
There is a fundamental design flaw (unless I got one with a mfg defect). Objects seen through the eyepiece appear laterally inverted. When I placed penny on the stage with the 'Lincoln side' of the penny facing upwards, Lincoln's face points to the right in the penny, but when viewed through the eyepiece, the faces points to the left!! This lateral inversion makes it very counter-intuitive and difficult to get the desired area of interest into the field of view in the eyepiece.
Needless to say, it was a frustrating experience for my kid.』
