4 Stars Adapter
The adapter was bought for the click start game. We prefer using the adapter over use of batteries. It has been working just fine.

5 Stars a must buy
Don’t use the product without the ac adaptor. You will have to replace batteries too often.

1 Star terrible
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my three year old. My older son did just fine learning on an ordinary computer. I thought this would be even better. It is useless. Especially the mouse. I could not use the mouse as an adult. No way is this a meaningful training tool for a kid. Totally frustrating experience for my son.

1 Star LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer Adapter review
Basically the adapter proved useless. The computer flashed a low battery warning on screen every 3 seconds when it was running from this adapter. I ended up using a universal adapter, purchased for $[...] running at 5V instead.

5 Stars Must have!
After reading the reviews I thought the adapter was necessary.

If you like spending your money you can use batteries, but it’s really worth it to buy the adapter, it will pay for itself & you don’t have the trouble of installing batteries every couple weeks.

Learning Resources Time Tracker

January 1st, 2010

Learning Resources Time Tracker




It’s never been easier or more fun to keep kids on track with this unique lighted electronic timer. Lighted sections alert kids to time left to complete a task. You can easily program green, yellow and red sections and six sound effects to indicate that time is running out. It teaches time management! Features 180 viewing, large, easy-to-read LCD display, volume control and pause feature. Measures 9″ tall. Requires adapter (LER 2901) or 4 “AA” batteries (not included).

5 Stars Perfect, and effective way to do time out
The only down fall was I could not open the back where the bateries go so now it is taped shut.

3 Stars Good Timer – Not User Friendly
Purchased the timer to help our 2, 5 and 7 year old kids get better and timing getting ready in the morning, brushing teeth and anything else we can use it for. It works great when you finally get the settings done. Having to read the instruction manual every time to set the times is a pain. I guess we will get used to it eventually.

They could do a much better job at adding a better timer setting option.

I would recommend this timer.

2 Stars Good while it worked
After about our third set of batteries, the whole display is lit up and no buttons work. I called the manufacturer and they said to return it through Amazon, but that is only for 30 days. It lasted us about 3-4 months. We loved the functionality and it stopped our daughter from constantly asking us when her time would be up. We did burn through the batteries with the lights constantly on while using it.

3 Stars Works great for my kids
The time tracker works great. I use it to let my kids know when it is okay to get up from the dinner table. The only problem is it is hard to figure out how to change the time even with using the manual.

1 Star Time Tracker didn’t last
Bought one for myself, one for a friend and one for my daughter’s class. All three worked fine at first, then quit working. Mine lasted the longest – 5 months.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Kids love it
Not much to say other than this toy is a lot of fun, the kids really enjoy using it, and it holds up to a lot of use.

5 Stars Hours-long entertainer for all ages
The Ultra Stomp Rocket kept our family (~30 people) having fun for an entire evening. It was hard to get the children to stop long enough to eat! Even the little ones got a chance to try to launch the rocket. It survived plenty of heavy use, with even Grandfather challenging the children to a distance contest. He had so much fun he came home and ordered two.

5 Stars Stomp rockets get the kids outside!
Eleven year old daughter used these Stomp Rockets in 5th grade class as they went over laws of physics. She had so much fun she wanted a set for her birthday, so we ordered them. She enjoys coming up with different ways to stomp them (cartwheel stomp, roundoff stomp, running backwards stomp…). She has taken them to events and the other kids just line up to have a turn. The 8 year old boy across the street is begging his mom for a set, too. They will get your child moving, as you not only stomp them, but you have to go retrieve them, as well.

5 Stars a wonderful toy at a great price
a wonderful toy at a great price..

my 4,5 and 7 year old love this and play it for hours…

4 Stars Lots of fun but a big flimsy
My 4yr old loves this toy…but the stand is a bit flimsy so it sometimes falls apart and we have to fix it. He can shoot these rockets all over the yard and just laughs at how high he can make the rockets go. It is a joy to watch him play with this toy. We saw it at a party of kids from 13 all the way to 4 and all the kids were enjoying it.

2 Stars LeapFrog Click Start “My first computer”
My step grandson was given this a year ago. His mother isn’t computer literite and thus far the child only played with the accessories. It never

got hooked up or used. Be sure the parent is able to do all the hook up connections or it won’t help the child at all, unless you go to his house and do it yourself. By the time we found out, parts were missing.

Too bad since this would have really been a great educational start for him.
