Fundex Bulls Eye Washers

March 18th, 2010

Fundex Bulls Eye Washers




This game is similar to horseshoes but much more fun. Players heave washers at a solid wood box and score three points for hitting the center bulls eye cup and one point for landing in the box. The first player or team to reach 21 wins. Boxes hook together for easy portability. Includes two wooden boxes and eight washers.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Fun Game, Poorly Assembled
Washers is a really fun game. Unfortunately this product is poorly built. The very first time we played a game with it, one of the plastic tubes broke off after being hit by a washer. (They’re supposed to get hit by washers- but they’re supposed to say in place!) Also, after playing that first game, one of the two latches holding the box together wouldn’t shut.

If you’re a handy person, these are not difficult things to fix (so far), but I’m wishing I had bought a better-made version by a different manufacturer.

5 Stars Super fun game!
If you’re a fan of horseshoes, you’ll love this washers game! It’s the same basic concept only instead of tossing heavy horseshoes, you’re throwing washers! It’s great for kids too!

The only problem I found with the game was that the box is made of a relatively soft wood that dings very easily. After a while, the box looks pretty beat up from the washers banging on it. No harm in it though because it doesn’t affect gameplay.

Great game to have on hand for outdoor use. I have a small backyard so there aren’t many games that can be played when I have people over but this works out perfect. Everyone always has a blast when I take it out.

5 Stars The Family Game!
This is a game I learned about through a friend and fell in love with it immediately. This is truly a great family game that everyone can enjoy. It teaches strategy, hand / eye coordination, teamwork, etc… Plus it is fun! Easily transportable, compact, and has brightly colored pieces to find if you miss the boards. The best part, if you lose a washer, just run down to the local harware store and buy one! A must for every picnic or get together.

4 Stars Washer Horseshoes
I have seen many of these washer pitching games in use that are hand made. But I really liked the professional clean look of this game and the fact that it closed up into a box so conveniently. I used this game at several events recently and it was a big hit with many of my guests. This is a quality game that is lots of fun and can be taken anywhere.

5 Stars Great Game
This is a great game. We bought this for Memorial Day picnic. Everyone could play. Unlike horseshoes, the women all loved the game. It’s easy to transport. There’s nothing to not like about this game. The coated washers are easy to find in the grass.. We loved it.

Twilight Lion and Lamb Keyring Bagclip

Twilight Lion and Lamb Keyring Bagclip




Twilight “Lion and Lamb” Keyring features characters from the Twilight movie. Keyring or bag clip is a great collectible metal and very decorative. This is a vampire love story.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Deborah B
Same as the Cullen Crest keyring/bagclip. Online it appears like silver, and somewhat “dainty”, it’s not, it’s big, clunky, and very dull antiqued pewter. Not worth the money.

2 Stars Twilight Key Chain
Cheap looking with the charms open on one side. Just blaw looking. I was disappointed in the key chain.

3 Stars Heavy, not a toy.
I purchased this item for my daughter. It is definitly not a toy. It is heavy and I wouldn’t recommend for keys unless you like to carry a heavy load. Strictly for show.

5 Stars great clip!
the only con to this bag clip is that the colored pieces, as well as the lion & lamb, are detailed on one side only. the other side is hollowed out.

that being said, the clip is MUCH larger than the picture displays and though it is on the “dainty” side and could probably be easily broken (depending on how it is handled), it won’t fall apart on your keyring or purse. i have mine hanging from my rear view mirror. it gets thrown around a lot and has withstood the punishment. it really is quite nice looking and a must-have for any “twilighter.”

2 Stars Not impressed.
This keychain is very cheaply made. Materials used are less than par. Not impressed.

Melissa and Doug Primary Lacing Beads




Keep busy for hours with this bright, vividly painted assortment of wooden beads. Each bead comes with oversized holes, and the included laces are longer for smaller hands.

This classic collection of beads and laces helps children with hand coordination, dexterity and color recognition — all while inspiring creativity. Convenient wooden case makes clean-up and storage a cinch. Comes with 30 painted beads. Case measures 8″ x 10″ x 2″.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A classic for good reason
My two year old son loves everything Melissa and Doug and the lacing beads did not disappoint. This toy has many educational uses; he loves making patterns and stacking the beads like blocks. He is building his fine motor skills and working on problem solving (how to get the string through the hole without it falling out, which even led to a discussion on gravity.) The beads are well made and the wooden box they come in stores everything very neatly. A great product at a great price!

5 Stars Spectacular!
Use beads with typical and special needs children in regular and adapted form. Kids just love them (starting at age 2).

5 Stars Mother of 4
This is great quality and very durable. My son has had a lot of fun using it.

5 Stars Simple toy for young children
This toy is great for young toddlers, large bright colored pieces. Can be used to teach colors, shapes and stringing different pieces together. A good way to entertain an youngster.

4 Stars Great learning toy
My two year old grandson loves these beads. They are great for working on eye/hand coordination. A couple of the smallest beads could be a choking hazard, as is the string, but we just watch him closely while he uses them.
