It was a great choice for a first game! The rules are simple to follow, and my son loves making the "tallest" clown he can! The pieces are very durable (as long as the kids are over the chewing phase...) and easy to clean up/put in the box.』
(Good game to help them understand measurement) 『This is a very cute game to help children understand measurement. The pieces are very sturdy and will certainly last forever if care is taken. My boys 5 years old loved the game. I would think it would be appropriate for 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 years old.』
(educational and fun) 『I bought 3 of these games - one for my daughter and 2 as gifts. Everybody gave the game rave reviews.』
(Great Game!!!) 『This ia a great game for little ones. We have a 2 and a 4 year old who love to play this together, and it's easy for them to play without a grown up. They love the neat ruler used to measure the characters they build. All around a great game. Would make a nice gift.』
(Good game for preschoolers) 『I got this game for my then nearly 4-year-old daughter and a year later she still enjoys playing it. The game is VERY simple and does not require reading. All the parts and pieces are high quality. It's a good opportunity to work with numbers and measuring, plus the game goes fast so you can play it quickly if needed or multiple rounds if you have the time/inclination.
The object is to create the tallest character by mixing/matching 5 parts (feet, legs, body, head, and hat). The character pieces are brightly colored and fun and include: ballerina, doctor, fireman/woman, policeman/woman, cowboy/cowgirl, and a clown. A roll of the die determines which part you select. The die has both pictures and words--except for the WILD side which is printed in red.
After the characters are assembled each player measures with the included ruler (you can choose centimeters or inches) to see whose character is the tallest. It's a sliding ruler with a base so the kids can actually fit their character inside and line up the top with the corresponding number on the ruler.
I wouldn't recommend this game for kids beyond 5--it may be a little too simple. But for 3/4/5's it's a great game.』 『Grades K - 3. Two to 4 players can learn visual estimation, size perception, measuring skills, matching skills and use the custom ruler to find out if their character is the tallest. With 30 different pieces to choose from you can create a different character every time you play.』

Looking through the spy-glass seemed blury; but that's because the magnification really worked! My 4yr old nephew was thrilled with the flashlight; but adults like myself found the bright red beam to be too much for the eyes. I'd recommend this toy for any little Pirate.』
(The spy scope) 『I found this product to be very appropriate for my grandson. It is well made and it lives up to the description given. It is great for his imagination.』 『Telescope with removable flashlight. Be on the lookout for treasures with your Pirate Light Scope.

At first I thought there was nothing to see on the map and it was no good..til I found my first hidden phrase. It is a good value for the money and a great addition to the purchase of the eye clops. They should sell this with the eye clops because it is really pretty cool to explore the maps and find hidden stuff on them!』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (great puzzle) 『Great puzzle! Stands up to my rough and tumble eighteen month old. She love to make the sounds of the animals as she plays with them! Would recommend!』
(Great toy for toddler) 『I bought this toy for my son when he was less than a year old. Every day we play this toy at least one time. He learned all the animal names on the board and the sounds they make. Now that he is 18 months old, he is able to put the puzzle together himself. I would hand him each animal and say the name, he repeats after me and then he would put the puzzle together. He doesn't have long attention span. So, he would only do one game. We do this every day. He loves it and I love it too. The knobs are big and easy for their little hands to handle. And it's quite sturdy.』
(Great puzzle for little hands) 『We love the Melissa and Doug Large Knob puzzles. They are very easy for a one year old to play with. She loved this puzzle as soon as we look it out of the box. The fun thing about this puzzle is we can talk about animals while she is also working on fine motor skills. If you have found other puzzles hard for your child - try one of the large knob puzzles. They are great starter puzzles and much less frustrating for little hands.』
(Puzzle is not solid wood) 『The description of this puzzle says, "solid wood" It's not! It's 2 layers of composite board glued to plywood. The fibers easily scrape off along the edges and can be ingested by your child. The pictures are a laminate overlay that can easily be peeled off. Not a great puzzle if you child is still putting toys in his or her mouth.』
(Puzzle) 『I bought this for my 1 year old son. He loves picking up the pieces by the large knobs as they fit perfectly in his little hands. I would recommend this to any parent. Good product for the price.
』 『Bright, bold colors and friendly, recognizable animal characters make this puzzle a winner. Extra-large knobs make it easy for small hands to remove each wooden puzzle piece. Matching full-color pictures are underneath to guide little ones. This super-sized, solid-wood puzzle with chunky half-inch-thick pieces is the perfect first puzzle. Measures 15.5"H x 12"W x 1.5"D.』

(Excellent toy!!) 『Excellent toy and a lot of fun for my toddler. She has read the book many times and loves seeing the illustrations from the book in the game.』
(Great first board game!) 『My almost 3 yo received this for her 2nd birthday. We have read her the book since birth-and she took to the first few versions of the game right away. She enjoys playing almost all of the versions, now. There are 1 or 2 versions that she has tried, but is not successful with yet (they are rated for 4 or 5+ yo). It is great because it grows with your child's memory development. You can progress ahead to the next level whenever your child is ready-but, the first few versions they suggest are excellent for 2 yo kids. What a fun way to learn to wait your turn while someone else plays (and each turn is VERY short for the adults, so they don't have to wait long at all).』
(Great Game!) 『My son is two-and-a-half and LOVES this game! We were having a hard time teaching him the concept of matching objects, but with this game, he picked it right up. He loves the book and recognized the pictures right away. I also like this game because it's designed to be played on several different levels. Right now we can just work on matching, soon we can build on that and use it as a memory game. I'm really happy that we got this game and enjoy playing it together!』
(Good fun for younger children) 『My two-year old girl loves this game. Its easy and you don't have to be able to read to play it. Fans of the book will find it a great follow up...the child will be able to easily match up the pieces, and it provides good educational skills whilst being fun at the same time.』 『The Goodnight Moon Game is a collection of six matching and memory skill-building activities of gradually increasing difficulty featuring charming illustrations from the children's book classic.

(very disappointed) 『 I bought this trampoline for my twins after a friend had one for her young children.We bought this one because of it being able to be folded.It was very hard to put the bungee cord around and the handle doesn't fold and the way the legs fold I am afraid of the metal clip flying off.We are looking for the type our friend has and are going to throw this one away.』
(Three and a Half Years of Fun!) 『I'm writing this now because after getting this toy 3 and a half years ago the bungee cord on it has finally given up the ghost. This was such a great toy, I'm going to locate another cord to replace it.
Our kids have loved this: they bouce on it all the time (even my 6 year old) and really develop some excellent strength and coordination.
This is actually one of the top 3 best toys we've ever bought our kids.』
(Bungee Broke on Sharp Edges of Rings) 『The bungee broke. Upon further inspection we saw that the rings were rough and sharp which was wearing away at the bungee. I purchased a replacement bungee and will try to smooth the rings before reassembly. This is a major manufacturers default for a somewhat expensive item. My kid loves it so that is why I am going to the trouble to fix it.』
(Best toy we've ever had...by far) 『Oh, god! Not another 5 star review. Well, yes it is, and with reason. I have two girls, now 7 and 4. We have had the trampoline for 3 years now, and they still use it every day. They fight over who gets to jump on it EVERY DAY! Can you name any other toy that can come close to that amount of utility. I can't. We live in NYC, so this has been very handy when the girls can't go outside.
Some issues: children can jump too high, causing the trampoline to become unstable on the side of the handlebar. To solve this, we just put the handlebar up against a wall. No more issues.
Also, the foam padding on the bar has worn away (no big deal) and the hex nut connectors work their way loose and can be lost. But Galt, like most good toy manufacturers, will gladly send you replacements for free.
The quality of the trampoline is very good. Given the extreme amount of use it has had, it is still in very good shape. I just wish every toy I bought got this much use.
』 『3 years&up. A junior trampoline with an easy grip handle to encourage children to jump and stay fit! Folds flat for storage. Base area measures 2'7" x 3'2".This nursery trampoline is the only nursery trampoline on the market today that carries a ASTM - Government safety approval.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Great and Fun, but breaks apart too easy) 『My son (2.5) and I love this. Assembly was not too bad, but like others say use a hard surface. The cars at full battery will go around about 3 times if shaken to the max (the car revs up to let you know). Most of the time they run the track clean without problems.
My only complaint is how easily the track comes apart. I understand at 2 years old my kid is bound to break it apart, but I am just talking about moving it. Even a little shift can cause the secions to break apart. This also makes it hard to move so I would suggest not to put it on the floor without anything under it if it needs to be moved around.
The sections you screw together are very sturdy.』
(Fun, Fun, Fun) 『Bought this for my 3 year old grandson. He had one already but it was left in Africa where they normally live. Unable to get back to the country they lived in, he wanted his "crashing cars" and thought he could go get them himself. I purchased this to replace the first one because he loves it so much!』
(wow - what fun) 『Wow - what an incredibly fun toy this is! - We have spent hours playing with the cars - although my wife does find them a little noisy the boys love them.
hours of fun - and great value.』
(great fun) 『My four year old loves it! We've had a blast playing with it. My only complaint is how easiely it falls apart. I've found using it on carpet and against a wall helps it from falling apart. Otherwise, we love it!』
(Crash and Go) 『The product arrived packed properly with all items. The track assembly takes some time, but once assembled hangs together well. The cars are virtually indestructable.

At a Glance
Ages:1-1/2 years and up Requires:6 AA batteries (included)
Meet T.M.X. Cookie Monster Part of the new Tickle Me Extreme friends, Tickle Me Cookie Monster is every bit as charming and fun as his popular friend, T.M.X. Elmo. When you touch his belly, this plush 11-inch doll falls backwards and giggles as he rocks back and forth. He even gets back up on his own! With googly eyes and soft blue fur, this Cookie Monster doll is cute, huggable, and a great toy for young children. He comes packaged in a cardboard carrying case with a handle at the top and a cutout to poke his ticklish tummy. Cookie Monster performs best on a hard, flat surface and requires six AA batteries (included) to bring him to life.
Laughter Is Contagious Each T.M.X. friend has its own unique actions. The T.M.X. Cookie Monster features silly gyrations followed by humorous phrases. This motorized doll is so soft, kids can pick it up, snuggle with it, then put it down and watch it wiggle. It only takes two tickles to send Cookie Monster into hysterical laughter and kids soon find themselves giggling along. This doll has an incredible likeness to the actual Sesame Street character. Parents can add to the fun with T.M.X. Elmo or T.M.X. Ernie, sold separately.
Tickle Test During the tickle test, it became easy to see why the T.M.X. friends are in such demand. When you tickle Cookie Monster's belly, he doubles over in hysterics. The second time he is tickled, he falls over backwards, rolls from left to right, then gets back up again, saying, "That was good." The doll moves best on a hard, flat surface and struggles a little when placed on carpet. But that was the only setback discovered during the hands-on testing process. A discreet on-off switch on his foot allows you to turn the doll off, if you're in need of some quiet time. Overall, T.M.X. Cookie Monster makes a great toy for its target age range. Even adults will crack a smile as this jolly character shakes and rolls with laughter.

IPhone 3G used's review (Inexpensive family fun, perfect for kids ages 2-4) 『There's not much to this game and that's the charm for young players. Each player has colored swords they stick in the barrel and one sword activates the pirate, which pops out.
This is a perfect family game for parents to play with children ages 2-4. The game is easy to understand and there's plenty of giggling when the pirate pops up. Each game lasts about five minutes, so there was plenty of time to play it multiple times before the kids grew tired. This also ensured that more than one player won.
We played with our Pop-Up Pirate for about a year before our sons grew beyond it. Now, we play Othello and chess and dominoes.』
(CUTE toy! Love it!) 『We have had this toy for about two years now. It is still a favorite. My then 2, 4, and 5 year olds loved it! Now that they are 4,6, and 7 they still love it. The swords are colored helping the littlest with their colors. It is so funny to see the expressions when the pirate pops out. It's a fast moving fun game that gets them into the habit of taking turns. I would recommend this game for preschoolers to at least 1st grade. Then the fun starts to wane as lego's take over their life.... ;)』
(fun for laughs, but not a surprise every time) 『This game is funny and my 4 year old likes to work on sticking the colored swords in. The laughs and jumps when the pirate pops up. But unless you cleverly turn the barrel, the same two slots make the pirate jump every time. The first few times we played it, it changed slots, but after about 5 times, its the same old slot that triggers the pop. But just a quick turn on the barrel, and they never know the difference. Not worth the money though, if you ask me.』
(Aaarrrrgh!) 『This is my 3 year-old granddaughter's favorite game!!! She gets so excited when the pirate "pops" out. Of course she believes this is how you win. The only drawback is the base is comes with, which slides across any smooth surface (table)requiring players to hold the barrel while inserting the swords. Still it's an exciting game for little ones.』
(not recomended) 『Bought it for my 3 year old. He knows his colors and how to take turns so no educational value beyond that. Boring, not much fun at all. Lots of small parts (swords) to find around the house...』 『Pop Up Pirate! promises hours of amusement. After all, who doesn't like to see a pirate get shot out of a barrel? The game is simple. The unlucky pirate is pushed into the top of a brown plastic barrel, readying the spring mechanism for his eventual launch. Players then take turns pushing colorful plastic swords into holes on the side of the barrel, one by one until finally someone releases the spring and sends the poor little pirate on his way. Whoever makes the pirate pop loses, until the next round at any rate. The game includes a blue plastic base, the brown barrel (the sort that pirates would use for grog), and 24 plastic swords--six each of yellow, red, green, and blue. There's also lots of stickers of birds, smiling sharks, and even an ogling octopus, although they don't stay stuck very well. The pirate himself has a big black mustache and wears an eye patch and a purple plastic scarf over his head. Luckily, he doesn't seem to mind getting jounced around so much, since he also has a gigantic, if somewhat cautious, grin.--David Morel』 『Pop Up Pirate! promises hours of amusement.
