User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Tag books are great!
I actually bought the Tag Reader for my 2 1/2 year old grandson for Christmas. He already loves to have books read to him and I wanted to continue that fascination. Of course his 6 year old sister loves the system also, so I had to get her her very own reader and case. Love the books. Need more. They are good for the younger and the older one. He learns the sounds and words and things and she can play the games at the different levels.

5 Stars Another great tag reader
So far my choices are winners for my 5 year old. I incorporate the tag reader in his home schooling for kindergarten. This is one of his favorites and the challenges are great. He cannot wait to get the rewards online. I do not use the tag reader as a replacement for him learning to read but a reward for his great efforts. It has been said that “leisure reading is the brain’s secret weapon”, I have found this to be true. If your child, more than likely a boy, shows signs of disinterest even though you have maintained your reading to them all their little life, then try fun things like “Discovery kids magazine, or puzzle buzz but more than anything tag reader and the wonderful books they have is the key to get it started. As I said in another review, we will be trying audio books as well.

4 Stars Good alternative to cartoons and princesses
I was excited to find this on sale at a local store. I brought it home for my 5 yr old daughter who loves it. Her 2 yr old brother likes to play with the book as well.

Dinosaurs are great for this age but most of all, they are better than Spongebob, Dora, Princesses and the like.

4 Stars Grandchildren Resources
A relatively new device, embraced by my (grandchildren) 4 year old twins. It is a parallel to their LeapFrog toys. A definite vocabulary and skill builder.

4 Stars for my grandson
I ORDERED THIS FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON AND HE SEEMS TO LIKE IT. I A HOPING THEY WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE PEN AND NOT JUST READ THE BOOKS, WHICH HE ALSO LOVES.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT IF THE PARENT IS GOING TO SPEND TIME SHOWING HIM HOW TO USE IT.

January 12th, 2010

Learning Resources Pretend and Play Doctor Set




Enough medical tools for a team of young “doctors” to play at the same time. Plastic 19 piece set includes a battery-operated stethoscope, pager, realistic sounding cell phone, forceps, bandages, thermometer and more. Plastic clamp-tight carry case. Requires 2 AA batteries, not included.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Best Doctor Kit!
Highly recommend! My daughter plays with it everyday for the past 4 months. Love the sound effects!

5 Stars Excellent doctors kit!
What a great product! We started out with the cheap $10 doctors kit.. but since my daughter was so into playing doctor, we decided to buy this kit for her for Christmas – she is 2.5 years old. She LOVES it!

She absolutely loves how the pager, phone and stethoscope make noises. I’m not to fond of the coughing coming out of the stethoscope, but she doesnt seem to mind (I think they could have just done the heart beat).

There are a lot of pieces to this doctors kit! They fit in the box (which has latches on it to keep it closed properly), and the quality is pretty good of the items.

Very good doctors kit for kids – highly recommend it. My daughter loves to play with it.. and we get examined a lot in this household :)

4 Stars Doctor set
This toy quickly became a favorite for my grand daughter. There are lots of pieces for her to play with.

4 Stars Overall a good Dr.’s Kit
Some of the items are a bit cheap, but my daughter has enjoyed playing with the kit, and I am glad that I purchased it for her.

5 Stars Great Doctors Kit
My daughter is 3 1/2 and loves to play with her doctors kit. There are a lot of pieces to the kit and we have not been able to find any comparable toy in any local store. So for us, this is the best around. However, for the $$ we were slightly disappointed that the cell phone does not work. It appears to have a defect. Other than that, great educational toy.

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set

December 21st, 2009

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set




Let the creativity flow with this set that’s packed with supplies for all your art projects. There’s 25 pieces in all, including: four bottles of poster paint, four spill-proof paint cups, roll of easel paper, 10 jumbo triangular chalk sticks, felt eraser, dry-erase marker and four paint brushes. Great value and the perfect companion to the Deluxe Standing Easel, sold separately.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars My duaghter’s have enjoyed using the toy. Everything they needed was included so that was nice for me.
I shopped around in stores and there wasn’t anything else that included everything that the companion set included for this price. No one was even close.

2 Stars don’t need to buy this set
I bought this with matching Melissa and doug easel. All the things seemed nice. It’s too pricy and you don’t need to buy all of these. I’m not sure why other moms like this set. You can buy these things at your local store for less,

5 Stars Easel set
Great products for the M & D easel. Only problem was the dry-erase marker. On day 2 of playing with this pen, my children pushed too hard on it when writing on the white board and pushed the ink part back inside the pen, rendering it useless. Bummer. Wish there had been at least 1 more pen in the pack.

3 Stars Paints do have a strong chemical smell
I had read some reviews of this before I purchased the set and they said that the paint smells strong. It does say non toxic, however that is really hard to believe after I took a whiff of it. I love Melissa and Doug toys but I am not impressed with the paint for that reason. Other than that my child loves painting and using her easel. No regrets there.

5 Stars Grandkids love this art kit.
This was a great hit with the grandkids. They love being artistic, and they can occupy themselves for hours.

8 Lumistick Glowsticks Glow Stick Bracelets Mixed Colors Tube of 100

November 17th, 2009

8 Lumistick Glowsticks Glow Stick Bracelets Mixed Colors Tube of 100




The best brand of glow sticks on the market. You will receive 1 tube of 100 LumiStick luminescent light bracelets. Each tube contains a even mix of 5 colors — Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Pink. Your order will also contain 100 connectors so you can hook the ends together to make bracelets and necklaces. Once they start glowing, LumiStick brand glow light bracelets will last you all night. They will glow super bright for 8 – 10 hours. Then, they will start to fade out but may continue to emit some light for up to 36 hours. These LumiStick brand glow light bracelets are fresh from the factory. They come directly from the factory and were manufactured just a few weeks ago. We are constantly getting new shipments from the factory, so you know these are as fresh and new as they come. They have a shelf life of 2 years. Inside the glow light bracelets are two chemicals that emit light or glow when they are mixed together. Inside the glow light bracelets is a thin glass tube, when you bend it for the first time, you break the inner glass tube. This mixes the two chemicals together. Just shake it up and presto — it starts glowing like magic! Lumistick brand glow light bracelets brand glow-in-the-dark products are non-toxic. They are not radioactive and they are not flammable. The almost never break open, but if they do, the chemicals inside can be washed off skin and clothes with ordinary soap or detergent.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars I served it’s purpose
I don’t know if this was worth the shipping cost since I probably could have gotten it at a local store for less, but the convenience was there.

5 Stars Great for Burningman
Great for illumination at Burningman. They last all night. I used them to light myself and my bikes. If you play with them too much they break and squish all over. The drawback is that in the morning they are MOOP. However they don’t require expensive batteries.

2 Stars Cheap light sticks, but not the best quality
Some of them light up well but for the most part, they are cheap for a reason. I wish they made better glow sticks cause I would have bought those for more money if available.

5 Stars Great gobs of glowsticks
This price is incredible for this many glow sticks. They were a huge hit at my kid’s Bar Mitzvah celebration…. They were very bright and colorful. Great product.

5 Stars intertaining
kids were surprised had a blast putting them together to make what they wanted excellant vibratent colors

Webkinz Elephant

May 6th, 2009

Webkinz Elephant




Webkinz are stuffed animals that come alive online in Webkinz World. Keep your pet happy and healthy and build and furnish a home with cool furniture

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great!
I couldn’t decide which one to buy, so I bought several and dispersed them at Easter to all my nieces and nephews. They were a big hit!

5 Stars Webkinz are great
This elephant is going to be June’s Pet of the Month, which gets you extra prizes when you adopt it online. I’ve just received my Amazon order of 3 Webkinz, with codes intact, so I’m sure they’re fine. Although our local store that sells Webkinz usually has Pet of the Month cheaper, and with free trading cards.

My 6 year old twins love doing the online games, and I am very pleased with the educational value of the Quizzy’s Corner question series. It has a multitude of topics, organized by age. They are also learning a bit of math as they shop, winning virtual cash and spending it.

I enjoy the games as well, and no longer have the urge to purchase a gaming system. This online arcade meets our entertainment needs, without any additional hardware required. Plus, the toy animals are cute, and get played with too.

5 Stars In love with Webkinz
I wanted a “pet” at work as I live there more hours per day than at home. I love Hubert. He is so sweet and I can take a much needed break to care for him online. Very fun and sweet.

5 Stars Buy Webkinz!!!!
My daughter is 9. She loved this elephant. There are 2 different

elephants , this one does not have the stringy hair. This

elephant is the nice plush one.

5 Stars Awesome!
This is my daughter’s 14th Webkinz, she loves animals and looks forward to their arrival. What a great concept!
