IPhone 3G used's review (Good toy that will entertain for many hours) 『This is a good toy that will entertain boys or girls for many hours. My only complaint is that the instructions that show you how to assemble it use different colors than the plastic pieces which makes it confusing for children. It has many small pieces so consider if it is appropriate for the child. Other than that it is a good toy and a good value.』
(K'nex 15th Anniversary Tub) 『I bought this product for my grandson's 9th birthday. He loves K'nex products. This was the perfect gift because you can use with existing K'nex products to make lots of different things. He makes buildings and cars. He even made a cellphone!! Great toy..great bargain...quick shipping!!』
(Slightly disappointed) 『I got this set to add on to the 400 piece value tub that I had previously bought. I was slightly disappointed in the number of model directions provided (8 instead of the 20+ that I got in the last tub). I am also not overly fond of the miniature k'nex and the bricks. I was hoping this set would more readily augment my previous set.
However, disappointments aside, this set is a good value if you understand what you are getting. I liked that it adds more varieties of wheels.』
(Not user friendly) 『Nice variety of models and good for developing fine motor skill. However, the instructions are very difficult to follow, even for an adult. Makes it pretty frustrating. There are no step-by-step instructions but rather about 2-3 pictures per model showing lots of different steps in between. Not what I expected but if your child likes creating his/her own things then it would be a good toy.』
(Great Building Toy) 『My nephew loved this gift. You can build cars, planes, building, animals, and any other things a child can imagine. You can combine with other K'Nex. Nice to have a case to store the parts.』 『This K'Nex Tub with Bricks commemorates the K'Nex 15th anniversay with a new tub. Includes original and micro K'Nex plus genuine K'Nex bricks, instructions and ideas for 20 models and convenient storage tub. 400 original K'Nex pieces, plus all-new building bricks. Measures approximately 7" x 11" x 16".』

She especially likes the "cell phone" and is not the least distracted by the fact that the phone is plush. Unfortunately, the script "my first purse" monogrammed on the front doesn't say her name as she thinks it does!!Baby Gund My First Purse』
(A soft first purse for your little princess...) 『I bought this purse for a friend of mines 18-month old daughter. She got the BIGGEST smile when she saw it and just loved that she got a phone of her own. The smaller pieces all fit easily inside the purse which is so soft. I wish they made these when my daughter was little. The little makeup case is so cute and has a mirror in it. This is a great gift for any young toddler.』
(Cute Purse.. but REALLY small for the price) 『The purse is adorable, but would better suit the price tag if it was larger. It is really REALLY tiny! I bought two of them for birthday presents, and when they came in, I immediately thought that I would have to buy something else to go with them b/c they are so tiny. I wouldnt recommend buying as a gift if it is the only thing you are giving.』
(Purse) 『This toy was purchased as a gift for my niece and she was very happy when she opened it. I was very satisfied with the purchase but felt it was a little pricey for such a small toy.』
(Really cute purse!!!) 『This is my daughter's first purse, and she LOVES it! The cell phone is too cute! I don't like the coin purse part so much, but she still likes to play with that piece. It's a really nice quality toy all around though.』 『
Little girls will love to play pretend with this four piece playset that includes a pastel purse, mirrored compact that "squeaks", coin purse with Velcro closure, and a phone that rings. A toy that will inspire the imagination. For the little girl "on the go". Comes with a gift tag.
IPhone 3G used's review (Great toy) 『We've had these for a year and are considering buying more. Our 6 year old son, 4 1/2 year old son, and two 4 1/2 year old daughters consistently play with these tiles. They are constantly creating all sorts of different buildings and creations. We highly recommend them.』
(My 4-year old loves his Magna Tiles) 『My son received his first set of Magna Tiles as a gift. He loves to build with them and he was only limited by the number of tiles. We purchased a second set so that he can build to new heights. I love watching his creativity blossom when he plays and they are very easy to store. I would highly recommend Magna Tiles.』
(Good age span) 『I purchased the Magna tiles as a birthday gift for a 5 year old who is very active and tends to drive his mom crazy running around the house all day. The tiles keep him busy for quite awhile and he is really enjoying them. His older (8 year old) brother loves them too and it is an opportunity for them to actually work together cooperatively (at least so far!). Based on the mother's glowing thanks, I highly recommend them.』
(Awesometastic.) 『This product was thuroughly enjoyed by the 3 year old, the 2 year old and, sadly, the 24 year old. The pieces are durable and will last the children's lifetime, more than likely. I would highly recomment this product if it was about $30 cheaper. As it stands, I only lightly recommend this product highly.
-Michael』
(It's a toss up as to who loves this toy most!) 『My son received this for his 2nd birthday a few months ago, because of his intrest in it at a local children's museum. All I can say is that I'm uncertain who loves it more, him or his parents! It certainly sparks creative thinking as we try to outdo each other in our creations! I didn't realize that I had it in MYSELF to be so creative. This toy just brings it out of you. I swear I find myself playing with it for long periods of time when I'm actually just supposed to be putting it away! It's quite peaceful actually! The mathmatical concepts it's already teaching my son make it priceless as well! He's learning spacial reasoning, critical thinking (will this structure hold if I...) as well as shapes, colors and creativity.
If you are like me, I faithfully read all the reviews before purchasing an item and went with others suggestions and purchased the clear tiles. Personally I like the clear tiles! The uses seem to be endless. I must add that although it is a large monetary investment, I feel it is wiser to purchase the set of 100 as 32 simply isn't enough. This toy will certainly span the ages, thus worth the investment.』 『3 years&up. For young minds taking flat objects and constructing 3-D objects is a new and exciting discovery. Each tile is constructed with bright translucent colors with magnets on all sides. The secret is the unique ability to attract even when they are flipped. 32 piece set.』

I was delighted to see that Razor made a scooter for younger children. It was reviews from other parents and grandparents that lead me to purchase it and it complete lived up to my expectations. He was thrilled. His parents were happy with the safety aspects. It has 3 wheels, 2 in back for greater stability; a large platform with for his foot with a material that helps his foot keep its grip. The handlebars are adjustable. It's easy for him to use.』
(Great Scooter!) 『We got this for my daughter last Christmas and she loved it! It is so cute and very durable ( she breaks everything!) and all her girl friends or cousins love it too! Cute spare tire too.』
(Stable) 『My 4 year old was not as excited as I thought she would be with this. It is a scooter you just have to push with one foot and keep one foot on the scooter itself at all times. You can not "glide" well on it with 2 feet. The bottom is made of plastic but it seems to be very stable. It was very easy to assemble too!』
(Bought both! Pink and Blue...) 『These are great and stable for beginners. My two daughters love them (I couldn't get the same color; too confusing!) These are for smaller size kids as the scooters are tiny but my girls are small! I took them to the park with these scooters last weekend and they rode them all day. They didn't get up until 11:00 a.m. the next morning they had exercised so much while having a blast.』
(Pink Razor Kiddie Kick Scooter) 『Great product. My almost four year old was jealous that her older brother and sister had a Razor scooter and she just didn't have the coordination to ride yet, and then we found this. She loves the color, and the fact that it has a cool spare "tire" on the back. We love that it is a razor and it has the added stability because of the dual rear wheels. Great product!』 『This Razor Kiddie Kick Scooter is designed specifically for younger riders who are still developing coordination skills.

The bus is a little noisier than the truck. The problem is that they are set to the same frequency-27 mhz. The controller for the bus also controls the garbage truck when both are on. The reason we bought them is so two kids could use them together』
(Cool first remote car) 『This is a good first remote car. My 2 1/2 year old loved it. His older cousins even loved it (age 4, 7&10). Only reason for 4 stars is the fact that it is advertised for 2+, but it comes w/ the 3+ small parts warning.

『Playing mommy is even more realistic with this sweet baby doll. Press the doll s bracelet to wake her up. Mix her special food and feed her, using her bowl and spoon she ll chew her food and even drink from her bottle, then tell you how much she likes it! And since she s potty training, she ll also let you know when she needs to go. Better hurry, though! Put her on the potty and she ll "pee" and "poop." But if you don t get there in time, you might hear her say, "Oops, I had an accident!" Once you change baby s messy diaper, she ll be happy once again. Is that a yawn? Sounds like baby is sleepy. Cradle her in your arms or put her down for a nap.
The realistic baby doll encourages valuable, imaginative role-play for young children, while also helping to teach a sense of responsibility and good old-fashioned tender loving care!

After baby eats, she needs to go potty (Caucasian version shown). View larger.
Doll Really Talks and Eats! This version of Baby Alive is a toddler, just the right age for potty training. She has cartoonish, oversized eyes and a head of curly hair, and comes dressed in a bib and a removable dress. Press the button on her bracelet to turn her on; she'll "wake up" and say "I Love You Mommy." When she talks, her eyes blink and her mouth moves in sync with her words. When she says "I'm hungry," that's the cue to feed her.
The doll comes with a bowl and two baby food mixes. Mix one baby food packet with water and feed it to her with the included spoon. She'll "chew," ask for more, and say the food is yummy. She needs water, too: she can drink real water from the included baby bottle.
Potty Training Time After she's done eating, the doll will say she has to go potty. Sit her on the included toilet, and she will really go. But watch out: if you wait too long, the doll will say, "Uh, oh, I had an accident," and she'll go in her diaper -- or all over you, if you're not careful! She comes with an extra diaper and wipes for cleaning and changing.
Baby Alive's most unique feature is that she gets better at using the potty after every feeding session: after the second session, she will ask to use the potty twice before going in her diaper, and after the third feeding, she'll ask to go three times before having an accident, and so on until the fifth feeding. (The doll's potty training feature can be reset, so your child can "teach" her to use the potty over and over again.)
Interactive Role-Playing Fun While some talking toys simply recite phrases at children, Baby Alive takes it a step further by offering the opportunity for interaction. As well as asking for food and using the potty, she also will ask your child to sing songs, play, or give her a hug -- each of which invites a response. We particularly like that her interactive features allow for role-playing fun, which is a vital part of a young child's development.
However, because of the potential for mess, this is not a toy for independent play, especially for younger children, and especially if you'd like your house to stay tidy. So parents and caregivers need to be on hand -- and they need to be prepared to clean up some messes! The doll also requires cleaning between feedings and potty sessions to keep it working properly.
The doll comes with two food pouches and an extra diaper, but you'll definitely want to stock up on more before your child begins to play because they get used up very quickly! Accessories are available for separate purchase.

Usually ships in 1 to 2 months IPhone 3G used's review (Nice pieces, horrible quality molding clay) 『We just purchased our set and it is has high quality pieces, however the dough is awful. We have only opened the green one and let me just say, the color was all over our white little table, and luckily washes off well. Also it is way too sticky and we had to peel it off of the wood a few times. I wish the roller that looks like a pizza cutter actually could cut through, it just leaves a thin indentation across the clay which is not that exciting to a 2 3/4 year old. Rolling pins are fun and the little block molds as well. The plastic molds on the clay are not great and I don't expect them to last long. Overall nice set but I guess I expected more from Melissa&Doug and for the price. I will look into other brands to add on to our crafting box for clay play.』
(Playdough fun!) 『Cute playdough set. My grandson saw this, he hung on with bear claws. He loves playdough and enjoyed creating all afternoon! Wonderful set!』
