(Fun For Generations to Come)   
(A Good Classic Game)    
(A classic!)   
(Great Game overall, Fitting all pieces in box is a problem.)     Love playing with my Grandkids the new style keeps the disks from falling all over the place. I was surprise at the price ($14.99) but thats America. I found the older style at a yard sale or a $1.00 one week later.
I'm 35 years old and fondly remember playing this game with my sisters. I purchased this recently on Amazon so I can recapture glory with my own children. the game is a take on the classic Tic-Tac-Toe game, with the spin being that you need to get four black/red chips in a row. Its fun to watch my children try and think a few steps ahead to ensure they don't get smoked by dad while also trying to set themselves up to win. While not quite chess, this is a great starting game for 5-7 year olds who've outgrown Candyland but aren't quite ready for Boggle. Good in 30 minute increments. My mother loved to play Connect Four with her grandchildren. It was a way for her to teach them from a young age to count four items; to sort two colors; to learn to look horizontally, vertically, and diagonally; and to win and lose politely. After she lost her ability to think fast and move her hands with dexterity, we could stimulate her by playing a game. We always had a good time with Connect Four.
The game is amusing enough to entertain an adult while giving children a quick little fun time. This game has been around a long time, and it continues to be one of the best. I wish that the grid support were stronger. I watched my mother wear out several games.
As long as laughter requires no carbon credits, this game is good green entertainment. It burns no fuel. My 6 year old is loving this, as is his 3 year old sister, but I dislike the new design as it has to be taken apart to fit in the box! If I didn't have a crawling baby who tries to eat the checkers I'd just leave it set up, but as it is, I end up having to assemble it ever day or two. In addition to the regular benefits of playing games: turn taking, communication, fun, Connect 4 in particular supports development of seeing patterns, a very important developmental skill.
With regard to this particular edition of the Connect Four game: It comes with additional pieces you can connect at the bottom to keep the "chips" contained when the bottom is opened and they fall out. (Not shown in the picture on the front of the box.) I don't particularly find this very useful, as I haven't found it a problem that the "chips" are going all over the place. However, it's an interesting addition.
My one complaint is that it's very difficult to get all of the pieces fitting into the box so that the lid closes completely. And this is a big pain. A child can't just pile them all into the box and close the lid. Some finesse is needed to position all the pieces just right to maybe get the lid fairly well closed all the way.
I do like the square box size rather than an old version I have that is a large rectangular box. This size fits better on my shelves. (I have multiple games because I adapt them for further educational support in classrooms.) The rules are simple: try to build a row of four checkers while keeping your opponent from doing the same. Sounds easy, but it's not! The vertical strategy creates a unique challenge: you must think in a whole new way to block your opponent's moves! For 2 players. Game includes: grid, two end supports, 21 black checkers and 21 red checkers. Connect Four is like vertical tic-tac-toe. Unlike tic-tac-toe, however (as the name suggests), you must getfourcheckers in a row. One player has red checkers; the other has black checkers. To play, alternate turns at dropping one of checkers down a slot at the top of the upright grid. The first player to get four checkers lined up in a row in any direction--horizontal, vertical, or diagonal--wins the game.--Alison Golder Rerations < Connect Four >

(Great for 18 month old toddlers too!)    
(Educational but not fun)   
(Kids Love It)   
(Keep it coming Froggiee)    This toy would have been good for youngsters if they had simply used lower-case letters. Unfortunately, focusing exclusively on the upper-case alphabet is disastrous for those learning to read.
Avoid this toy if you want your young one to learn to read. I was a little leery of getting this toy (we have the animal one) because it says it's for 24 months and up. We got it for my son at 16 months and he has a great time with it.
He likes to repeat the letter sounds and, initially, changing the letters in and out was a challenge for him. He would spend 15 minutes or so at a time playing with this; and that's a long time for an 18 month old :-)
My son also loves the music button that sings the alphabet song. Overall a great toy; I foresee many years of use out of this toy! My 20 month old learned two letters after two month bought it. I did not really teach him. Now he figured that he need to remember these letters so that he can ask, for example, M for McDonald(unfortunately). He frowns at the music all the time. Having one song is just too boring. I like it compact size. Both my boys, a 21-month-old and a 3-year-old, have played with this toy a lot. My oldest got this for Christmas when he was about 2.5 years old. He now knows all of his letters and just loves to read letters everywhere we go. My youngest loves it as well, and I think he's starting to know some of the letters too. I did not give this 5 stars because it can be loud, even at the lowest volume setting. Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm, rather than the exception, with children's toys. However, this is definitely one of those toys we have not regretted getting. My 2 year old loves it. Just like some of their other great products Leapfrog delivers!!! Learn letter names and sounds and create words with these interactive, magnetic letters. Just place any letter into the letter reader and press it to hear its name, its sound and a phonics song. The Fridge Phonics magnetic letter set includes 26 easy-grip magnetic letters and a magnetic letter reader that attaches securely to the refrigerator or other magnetic surface. Requires 3 "AAA" alkaline batteries (included). Phonics have never been more fun with this LeapFrog Fridge PhonicsMagnetic Set. With this engaging tool, children can learn letter names and sounds from the convenience of your refrigerator. Simply place a letter into the reader and press to hear its name, sound, and a delightful phonics song. Great as a speech development tool for ages two and up, the LeapFrog magnetic set delivers hour of amusement, while teaching the alphabet.Leap into Learning Kids will dance to the music and their faces light up as they imitate the sounds. The vowels are all colored red and the consonants are yellow, blue, or green. This helps children identify letters and see the difference between vowels and consonants. And as the children learn to grasp and place the letters, the toy sharpens motor skills. To start the learning process, this toy includes 26 magnetic letters and a magnetic letter reader. Little fingers can easily grasp the big, bright letters and place them on the fridge. Kids can also play the alphabet song by pressing the red musical note. In addition, a handy off-soft-loud control allows parents to change the volume and keeps the music at an enjoyable level. Vibrant colors and a sassy green frog captivates the kids and adds to the fun. This educational toy's durable plastic construction holds up to rough toddler play. Three AAA-size batteries are provided. Award-Winning Features This toy has received many accolades and awards from prominent toy organizations. In 2003, it won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal and Snap Award; it was also named Nick Jr.com's Toy of the Year. It attaches right to the refrigerator with secure magnets and is easily accessible when your child is hungry for learning. With lively musical songs and a fun cartoon frog, the magnetic letter set can be a great educational tool for children with a severe speech difficulty, or for those just needing a brush-up on their ABCs. What's in the Box Magnetic letter reader, 26 magnetic letters, and 3 AAA batteries.

(Interesting Toy)    
(reward for summertime workbooks)     My son has been playing non-stop with his Bakugan since they arrived. Unfortunately, one broke rather shortly after we got it. He was devastated! Fortunately, I was able to GLUE it! He has been playing with them all (got Blue starter pack a few weeks later) and no more have broken, despite constant use and handling. Holden is soon to be ten years old and loves his new toy. Like many young boys his tastes change rapidly in what he plays with and he is enjoying the new toy that he recently received from Amazon.com This toy is great for kids to learn math and strategy. Fun for parents to play with them as well. The service was great. This is the only place I have been able to find this toy. It is rather low tech but very clever. In fact, it is the most low tech toy my son owns. He has enjoyed it a lot. Actually, so have I. my son loves it. its a great reward to get him to work and read during the summer.

customer 's review (Cute Webkinz)  
(Way overpriced)  
(overpriced)   
(Whimsy Dragon!!!)    
(Webkinz)     Got this for my daughter's birthday. It is much smaller than anticipated, but cute none-the-less. I want one really badly but i think it's really stupid that it's priced so high don't buy it. It's not worth the money It's a shame that this Webby is being sold for nearly 3 times it's original price, and on Amazon, of all places. This I'd expect on eBay, but not here. Shame on you! I have been waiting for the Whimsy Dragon to come out since I first heard about it. Now I have it and it is one of my favorite Webkinz that I own.
However, there were 3 things about the Whimsy Dragon that made me disappointed:
1: It's smaller than it looks.
2: When you register it on to your account and you go to your room, when it walks around, you will notice it doesn't fly! It just walks. I kept thinking that it would fly around your room, but it doesn't.
3: The price. It is NOT worth $30. I bought mine for $15. Save your money, and buy it somewhere else.
I still think the Whimsy Dragon is a cool Webkinz! This is a fun toy kids ages 5-12 would enjoy. This toy is for boys and girls. It is easy to share this toy. I love my webkinz so much I have 34. This is the best toy on the market. There is a girl in my grade how has over 100 webkinz. Its id the best toy in years. Webkinz Plush Stuffed Animal Whimsical Dragon contains Webkinz animals comes with a special internet code where your child can interact with it. They can name it, make it a home, and even play games. Not recommended for children under 3. Webkinz orders are limited to 12 pieces per style per customer. Its made of polyester. Rerations < Webkinz Plush Stuffed Animal Whimsical Dragon >

(Legos are a fun toy for all ages.)   
(LEGOS FOR THE FUTUR BUILDER)    
(Fabulous set, need a few of them!)    
(Good starter set, but not all pictured creations can be built from this set)    Great addition to any existing lego set. Lots of great and useful pieces. My children love it! I work with kids (4th -8th grade) and their families. I've found that legos are a great activity for the families to do together. It's amazing to see families communicating as they build little towns, cars and houses. Although Legos are the ultimate toy for creativity and imagination, it would be nice if the size of the Legos were made clear to the buyer.
My grandchildren love to play with Legos but now I have 3 different sizes which makes it hard for the two of them to share since none of the boxes of Legos has enough pieces for 2 children to play with.
I do most of my shopping on line and I wish that Legos would make it clear as to the size and number of pieces of the Legos contained in the box. This is such a fabulous starter set for Legos. It has all the right "boy" parts in it including airplane propellers, race car steering wheels, etc. This set is very well loved in this house and has built everything from race tracks to helicopters. Great, great fun and provides HOURS of entertainment. If you are getting these for a true Lego afficionado, be sure to pick up a couple of them. It has quite a few pieces but to truly build a bunch of stuff, you'll need more. Wait for a sale, however, Easter and Christmas usually provides a great sale at the giant toystore with an r in the name. Watch Amazon too - they knock ten bucks off the price every now and then! Highly, highly recommend! My 4 year old loved the duplo set he's had since he was one. He loves to build things based upon the pictures provided. We got him this set to see if he'd still like the smaller ones too. He does.
This set has a lot of instructions and sample pictures for him to build. Herein lies the problem. Not all of the sample pictures can be built with the pieces provided in this set. Some pictures show parts that aren't in this set or they show the picture using more of the same part than what this set provides. This has proven to be a bit frustrating for my son who loves making it look just like the picture.
That being said he still loves his Lego set. With a younger 2 year old brother we've had to restrict its use to when his brother is sleeping as there a LOT of small 1x1 parts in this set. It can be challenging for a 4 year old to find such small parts in the big pile.
Also it wouldn't hurt to provide another set of wheels or two as my son loves making the vehicles and you can only make one at a time. Get busy building! This jam-packed tub features an extensive assortment of LEGO bricks and other fun elements. It includes a building plate, mini figure, windows, doors and wheels. New container allows for easy clean-up and efficient storage. The transparent lid lets builders display their models.

(Excellent!)    
(Perfect beading for Younger kids)   
(Beads without aggravation)    
(Fun!)     These are great, come a sturdy wooden box and it a great big kid little kid sharing "show me" toy. I got these for my niece, she's nearly 6 and loved them. She is learning to read now and it was great to see her sounding out names and putting the letters together to spell them on the necklaces. It's evident that she'll be playing with these for a while as she discovers that you could actually load up the strings instead of having only a couple of beads in the middle. That said: you might want to get some extra beading string right off the bat; we were out in a very short time with lots of beads left in the box. The beads are sturdy, cute and easy to put on the strings. The box has a nice lid and keeps everything organized and easy to put away. Great starter beading for young ones. Much more durable then the plastic ones and the strings with the covered ends make it easier on Mommy! The beads are just the right size for little hands, the box is great for storing the beads and string, and there is friction between the wood beads and the round-shoelace-type string so the beads stay on the string. This is a great toy. The box is less than an inch high so it is friendly to those of us with small homes.
I bought this one for my nephew. When I told my kids, they protested because they mistakenly thought that I had given theirs away.
Only problem: It is slightly tricky to get everything back in the box so that it closes. It is not too bad though.
Overall - I highly recommend this toy. I plan to keep it for my grandkids when my kids are done with it.
I purchased this to go along with Melissa And Doug Decorate Your Own Jewelry Box....and, it is wonderful. Allows creativity and pride in making something that is their very own! So cute, a lot of variety and durable. Melissa and Doug products are so long lasting and promote individuality and creativity. Open up your own jewelry-making factory with this Wooden Stringing Beads set. This conveniently packaged, brightly painted set contains more than 200 wooden letters and beads. There are also eight colored cords to make necklaces and bracelets that you can keep or give as gifts. Stored in a durable, handy wood tray with a clear sliding top.
