User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Another great Melissa & Doug toy
Our 3 1/2 year old daughter loves this puzzle. It’s a nice large size with large pieces that fit together easily. This adds to our daughter’s sense of accomplishment, and she enjoys the new challenge of a large round puzzle. Now she puts it together by herself and when she’s done, we then discuss the different cultures of the children holding hands. This really adds more value and more time spent using this verses other puzzles.

5 Stars Grandsons delight
I bought this for my 3 year old grandson who loves puzzles. This one has a duel purpose, its a great puzzle and it teaches him the world. He has put it together many times since I gave it to him.

5 Stars Christmas Present
My four year old grandson was beside himself, when he opened this floor puzzle and two other Melissa and Doug Floor Puzzles, at our Christmas gathering. They were definitly a hit.

5 Stars Another great idea from Melissa & Doug
Gave it to my nephew for b-day present. He loves it. Not sure about durabilty, but for the great price–worth the educational value!

5 Stars My 3-year-old daughter is a fan
My daughter really enjoys this puzzle, which we gave her for her 3rd birthday. It’s exciting to hear her tell us all the countries she wants to visit someday.

December 25th, 2009

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars This is the best, most fun educational toy!
My 7 year old girl loves this toy!! And she is learning how to think logically. She is learning the power of deduction. It’s awesome!

5 Stars The best puzzle game since Sudoku
This is a great toy for all ages from about 8-9 years old. My daughter got it for her 9th birthday. I’m not going to rehash all the other descriptions since others do an adequate job of describing it. I will say that my daughter and I both love the game, and it leads to some fun daddy-daughter times where we discuss how we arrived at the solutions. The only thing I wish they would do is make replacement books with more puzzles. You use up the included set of puzzles pretty quickly, and this game is just as addictive as Sudoku. There’s a great income stream there for the manufacturer. Anyway, get it, you won’t be sorry!

5 Stars Encourages Deductive Thinking
I bought Chocolate Fix because I wanted to be able to offer my kids a better alternative than TV. I have enjoyed seeing the determined look in my son’s eyes as he attemts each new challenge. He is eight and enjoys tackling the intermediate and advanced puzzles. My five year old daughter enjoys the beginner puzzles. It has gotten more use than most of our board games and I would recommend it for parents looking for games that will help develop their children’s thinking skills.

4 Stars Fun! Even for Adults
This toy is fun. You can’t eat the pieces, but it’s still a great game! I got it for a gift exchange this past Christmas, and it was enjoyed by all after we opened the gifts. I think it would be nice if they came out with a second book of puzzles. No, we haven’t finished all of them (especially the advanced ones…) but we would like more for when we do finish them.

5 Stars Fun and great family game.
We have enjoyed the challenges of this game. Some of our family members have mastered the lower challenges and are now working on the hardest challenges.

Simon Trickster Hand Held

May 6th, 2009

Simon Trickster Hand Held




Can you keep up as you follow the colors bouncing from lens to lens? Now repeat the pattern!

Keep the excitement going as long as you can with musical tones and fun verbal feedback! Its scaled-down size makes it perfect for travel and fun on the go!

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Very engaging!
My grand-daughter was immediately taken with this Simon Trickster musical toy (just as her mother was with the original 30 some years ago) and loves testing her memory trying to reproduce the musical tones in perfect order. It’s smaller than what I remembered of the original, but that doesn’t harm the fun at all.

5 Stars What a fun toy!!
I’ve always loved Simon, but this smaller version is great, easy to use and loads of fun. Good exercise in listening and watching!! Great toy!!!

4 Stars using as a rehab memory device
Great item being used for memory recovery. Helps chemo patients after treatments to retrieve memory skills which were damaged thru the chemo treatments.

4 Stars Great Little toy
I wanted this both because I loved the original Simon and thought it would be a good memory exerciser. I was concerned that it would be awkward to use because of its size but found it’s actually comofortable and easier to transport. The only drawback for me is the sound. Instead of the original beep I find the new sound a little annoying but I’m getting used to it.
