5 Stars What’s not to like about Jenga?
this game is such fun…you don’t really think of it with all the fancier games out there…but it really can’t be beat. My 4 year old loves it…and is pretty good at it I might add.

we got it this summer on a whim…just trying to find a “family” game and it hit the spot…now it’s my “go to” christmas gift this year!

4 Stars Still a classic
We’ve been very pleased with Jenga. It’s a lot of fun and the kids enjoy playing it.

The only reason I gave it four stars is that the stacking tool that helps you to quickly set up Jenga was made out of cardboard. The older sets had one that was made out of rigid plastic. It got ruined the first day and ended up in the recycling bin. This had made Jenga slower to set up.

5 Stars A Great Classic
You can’t go wrong with a classic game like Jenga. Simple, engaging, and entertaining for the whole family. Appropriate for all ages. The beauty is in the simplicity. It comes with “extra” blocks, but in reality it doesn’t matter much since a few lost pieces only means you lose a layer of the tower. The game can be played the same with or without them. This particular execution of the game comes with a handy and durable carry case. This game travels very well. So, we take ours camping to keep the kids happy during any bad weather. This should be a go to game in everyone’s game closet.

5 Stars Pleasantly surprised!
I purchased this game to use as part of a role playing game Dread: A Game of Horror and Hope. I had never played Jenga before, so my husband and I decided to set it up and have a few goes at it so we would know what to expect. We had no idea it could be so much darn fun. The concept is so simple and there are barely any rules. At each turn you must study the structure to find a piece you can remove that will not bring the tower down on your turn while trying to leave your opponents with no good options. Its sheer simplicity leaves a lot of options about game play – it could be a part of a trivia challenge, drinking game, or a host of other party games. The simplicity of the set up and ease of game play make it a great option for players of all ages and skill levels. Highly recommended!

5 Stars A classic
This is a classic inexpensive game that should be in any house where kids live or visit. This and a couple other games have been enjoyed by my nieces and nephews when they visit and helps prevent any possible boredom if, like me, you are a proponent of leaving the tv off.

3 Stars Good, but room for improvement
Our 18+ month-old really seems to like this, so she would probably give it four stars. I give it three. Overall, it’s a good toy. The two astronauts are about the same scale as Playmobil people, which means playmobil people can pilot the ship and drive the moon buggy. Oddly, the included dog and alien do not fit in the moon buggy or pilot areas, which writes off a whole slew of potentially interesting story lines for your child. How can the alien steal the ship or buggy if he doesn’t fit? The ship handle has a button with two soundtracks. One is a launch sequence and the other is just spacy sounds. I’m sure they could have packed ten more random sci-fi sounds in there. The doors pop off easily so that they don’t break off, which is good, but fastening them back on is a bit of a puzzle even for adults. A good aspect of this toy is that it is very much like a little dollhouse (there is a bed in the central compartment, for example), so it doesn’t have to be a rocket at all. Our toddler spends a fair amount of time putting creatures to bed in the central compartment. The moon buggy is quite popular by itself as well.

4 Stars good rocket ship for child’s imagination
After watching Wallace and Gromit’s quest for cheese, my 3 year old nephew loved the rocket ship. So for his birthday I was searching for something similar. Other rocket ship toys I saw were a bit too realistic – maybe good for older kids but too serious for little kids. This particular ship is whimsical, has neat little accessories, and is very simple to figure out. The only complaint was that parts came undone, but you could easily snap them back on. But my nephew loved the fun design and within minutes had multiple adventurous space travels with his astronaut friends, the dog, and the moon-buggy.

5 Stars Pricey but loved
Our son got this when he was 4, still plays with it at 5. All the kids, from 2 to 42, who visit our home love this rocket. We are going to get the Space Base, another toy that matches this one, by the same company.

Some of the rougher playing kids knock off the doors and hatches, but they always click right back into place.

5 Stars Great toy! A favorite in our house
This is a fantastic toy! When we first received it from my in-laws at Christmas for my then 18-month old, I thought “great, another noisy toy that will break in a week.” It’s now six months of solid use later and still looks and sounds like new. For the first two or three months both my kids (1-1/2 and 4-1/2) played with it on a near-daily basis. They still play with it at least once or twice weekly. I love that most of the parts fit inside the rocket (wish the alien and the crater fit, but we tuck them underneath). The hinges to the doors are made to come off without breaking in the event the kids get really rough with it, and easily go back on. Also, I think the alien glows in the dark (or at least seemed to when I saw it in my room the other night–might’ve just been a weird light thing going on). Like others have mentioned, don’t be scared by the price–this is a great toy–destined to become a classic.

5 Stars The Lift-Off Rocket is a blast!
I bought this product on Amazon for my grandson’s 2nd birthday, after first seeing it in a “high end” specialty children’s toy shop. It is colorful, easy for the children that haven’t yet developed their fine motor skills to play with and yet still has enough challenges to keep those that are adept with smaller objects.

He stopped opening gifts after laying eyes on his rocket and we couldn’t get it out of the packaging fast enough for him. He plays with it constantly, putting the figures in and out of the different cargo areas and driving around the little moon buggy. Even the 18 month old playmate has given this toy a heavy duty work out.

There will be more International Playthings items among our gift purchases for the little ones that we love.

3 Stars This is ok; not for serious card making or projects
This would be ok for small kids I think. My 8 yr old is not that satisfied with it. It does not come with a lid or top of any kind. The product is ok.

5 Stars Great stamp set, high quality
Great stamps, high quality. The pink ink is a bright, highlighter pink, and my daughter a more visible ink color. But other than that, it is a great product! Very high quality and seems to hold up to frequent use.

5 Stars Nice.
I really like Melissa and Doug Toys. This set is no different.

The stamps in this set look like the ones someone might buy at a more expensive stamp place. They are wooden. While they might have less details than some of the stamps made for the adult market; they have some details putting them a step above the other cheaper children’s stamps you can buy.

The stamp pad is bright and colorful. It did not quickly dry out.

My daughter has enjoyed using her stamps when I have pulled mine out.

Enjoy.

4 Stars Nice stamp set
This is a great little stamp set, but arrived VERY late. Took over 2 weeks to get to me. The other items I ordred arrived in a timely manner, but this took too long. Otherwise, nice set.

4 Stars Very nice set for 4-7yr old…durable, colorful, cute!
This is a very cute set for young girls. The stamps are attractive and durable for young hands. The pencils and stamp pad are nice and bright colors that girls like. My daughter is 4 and loves her set. I gave it four stars only because the lid does not slide on and stay like most other Melissa and Doug sets. The price is right though for under ten dollars and I would still recommend this stamp set for gifts.

4 Stars good product
I am very pleased with the product. My 2 year old is able to identify what some of the food is (remember–she’s 2!). The product is well made for a child and there is a bunch of pieces to be able to mix things up. I’m glad I got it.

4 Stars Lots of pieces for a toddler to play with
These pieces fit perfectly with the Step 2 Deluxe Kitchen. My 2 year old son does like to play with these food pieces when he is pretending in his play kitchen. However, he also likes to dump all of the pieces all over the floor.

If you don’t mind a messy play area, then I recommend this product. It’s also a great tool to use for toddlers to recognize and learn various food items.

4 Stars Nice play food
Lots of pieces and most look realistic. There are few pieces in it that are questionable as to what they are and one we can’t figure out at all. But overall, this is a nice variety set, all the foods smaller than in real life to fit their little hands and their little kitchens. My son got this for his 2nd birthday and has lots of fun with it. I give if four stars for couple hard to identify foods (and we are pretty educated when it comes to variety of foods) and for the quality. Not the best quality, but for the price, it does the job.

5 Stars Good Toy
This set has many different kinds of foods, even some that we can’t identify. The only thing that would make this toy better would be if the set came with a list of what things were.

2 Stars cheap price, cheap product
you get what you pay for. i was looking for play food a bit more realistic and a better mix of fruits and vegetables. some of the stuff looked like vomit-mmmmmm tasty. but my daughter does like it and that is who it is for in the end.
