IPhone 3G used's review (great buy) 『Purchased for my grand son age 3. Easy to set up and sturdy. He loves it and it is getting lots of play time. He already likes to count with it. Great buy for the money.』
(This toy was a hit with my grandchild!) 『It's not easy to select a toy for a grandchild across the nation from you. LeapFrog toys are great quality, and so far, he's had lots of fun with everything Ive sent him. 』
(Great toy for indoor play!) 『My son loves this toy ever since I opened the packaging. Fun value of this toy is great, educational value is mediocre at best. Sounds do get annoying after some time (to me, not to my son!). Overall a fairly decent purchase.』
(Fantastic Educational Toy!) 『Although we have only had the toy for a short time, I love what it will be teaching my son. So few toys focus on skip counting, and this is one that does it in a fun and consistent way. I also love that you can take on skills at your child's pace, choosing the point at which you want the toy to stop counting. The Spanish aspect is also a great thing! I love Leap frog toys!』
(great counting game) 『I bought this for my daughter who has autism to help her count. It is great for that. She had fun throwing the ball into the hoop. She also liked when the hoop cheered for her. It can help you up to on hundred but you can also just count up to ten at one time. Also can count by fives and tens. Really fun educational toy for counting.』 『Introducing the only basketball game that teaches numbers and counting all the way to 100 in both English and Spanish. Rally sounds and a cheering crowd encourage your little one as he learns to count. Just choose your counting mode and language, and if you'd like, set a goal for yourself. Game attaches to a chair, doorknob or wall and includes a 3-inch-diameter soft ball. Attachment hardware included. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (not included).』
IPhone 3G used's review (A Winner!) 『My son received these as a Christmas gift and the whole family has loved playing with them. Wherever we bring them, people ask us where they can buy them. Definately buy two sets though, one it just not enough for building. This makes a great gift!』
(Great for coordination and thought) 『This product and Bill Dings have been a wonderful addition to me and my daughters skillful play time.』
(Cool toy) 『This toy was a hit with my 4 year old. The back of the box has different tower designs, and my child loves to go through and build them each one at a time. Her uncle who gave her this also had a lot of fun playing with it, and he's almost 30! Good quality, cool toy.』
(Great Fun) 『I agree with all of the other reviews -- this is a really fun toy. My son (3.5 years) received it as a gift and now we stack robots every night before bed. I can only imagine what happens when you add 2 or 3 more sets to the mix; right now we are having plenty of fun with the original 9 robots. What's nice is that my son can do the basic configurations on his own, or I can help him with the more advanced ones.』
(Lots of possibilities, easy AND hard!) 『Amazing toy! No instructions, no batteries, no assembly, no impossible plastic ties. Poke a hole in the wrap, dump them out and play! There are many many stacking variations (and yes, I am planning on getting another set or two!), anything from super easy to tricky, enough variety to keep both the parent and a child engaged and playing for a long while.』 『Wood Stacking Robots includes 9 multicolored robots that interlink in many different positions to create remarkable shapes. Robots measure 3 1/2" tall. Ages 3&up.』
IPhone 3G used's review (love it-hate it) 『My daughter loooooves this toy. She got it when she was 2 and could "play" it right away. However, the songs get old to mom and dad real quick and although there is a volume button, it defaults to LOUD and you have to turn the star shaped knob over and over several times for it to decrease the volume. Now that she is older she knows how to turn it down when i ask her to. I am happy there is an on/off switch on the back. She is now [...] and still plays with it. She has never held it like a guitar but loves pushing the buttons to play the songs and make sounds. Very durable. it's been dropped and kicked and fallen off tables and has never broken. Wish the variety of songs was better. For this reason and the volume knob i give it only a 3.』
(My daughters are rock stars!) 『My 3 year old and 18 month old fight over this a lot. The songs are catchy and we find ourselves singing them once in a while which is a bit embarrassing. While it has no educational value, the kids have fun and have to learn to share.』
(1 year old loves it) 『My son received this toy for his 1st birthday. He doesnt usually pick it up to play with it, but instead plays with it while it lies on the floor. It has a volume control which is helpful. Though its not an appropriate toy for his age, I only give it to him when I am busy in the kitchen so it keeps him occupied.』 『Fisher-Price Sing 'N Strum Guitar

While the songs are playing, press the Tyrone, Austin or Tasha buttons to hear phrases and guitar rifs, and push the whammy bar to extend the note.

(Perfect Shopping Experience) 『We shopped around, and this was a great deal. We needed it for a birthday present, and it arrived within days using standard shipping. Beautiful GUND quality. Thank you.』
(plush big bird doll) 『My twins love Sesame Street and this Big Bird is just the right size to cuddle (they are 2) and is so soft. It's my favorite of all of the characters for cuddling.』
(Make believe it's not the softest toy ever) 『Gund has excellent quality, and though it did not come in a box (really my only complaint) Big Bird is definely the softest stuff animal I have ever come along. I bought almost all the main characters for Christmas for my daughter and when we watch Sesame Street they are alot of fun to play along with, even for adults. With the free shipping this same item actually ended up cheaper than other less expensive Big Birds at different sites.』
(Fabulous) 『My 18 month old has Big Bird, Grover, Bert, Ernie and will be getting Elmo from Santa. I rock him to sleep with at least one of them every night, often we have all 4 clutched in our arms. Definitely the BEST toddler stuffed animals around!!!!』 『Sesame Street Big Bird is 14" of cuddly happiness.』

Usually ships in 3 to 5 days IPhone 3G used's review (Great - keeps my 2-year-old busy for a long time!) 『We got this for my son's 2nd birthday in September, and it's been a hit ever since his party, where multiple toddlers were practically fighting to play in it (good thing it came with a selection of toys, plus I threw in a bunch more cups, shovels, bath toys, etc. for them all to share). Unlike most of his toys, it will keep him engrossed for a good half hour at a time, with nary a peep (or "Mommy, come play with me!") We keep it outside, and fill both sides with water, based on the comments here that using both sand and water will lead to messy mixing.... The umbrella has been very useful in our Indian summer heat, and when it gets too cold to keep water in it (my son always ends up a wet mess) I plan to fill it with rice or beans for the winter.』
(Great buy!) 『This is a great product! My son loves it and plays with it tirelessly! We will no doubt enjoy it for years to come. Oh, and it came promptly too!』
(B-Day Gift) 『I bought this sand and water activity for my daugtgther for her 3rd B-Day. She's really love it. The thing I don't like is the water mess up with the sand when she played.』
(Naturally Playful Sand and Water Activity Center) 『Great, durable product. Easy to assemble. Kids of all ages can enjoy this toy.』
(Prepare to spend hours outside with your toddler...) 『My son loves this toy. Most of the time we just fill up the sand side and let him play in that.
When it's super hot out I put water in the water side too. The water side has a very nice drain in the bottom so it is easy to empty out. Despite the cover we never leave water in there after we're done playing.
I don't really use the umbrella because the play table is set up under our sunroom so it's in the shade all of the time.
The cover is awesome, it keeps bugs out of the sand and keeps everything inside relatively clean.
Believe it or not my 18 month old has figured out that he can climb into the sand side and sit in there and play. Probably not a recommended use, but that side is big enough for one little kid to play around in.
I also like the brown colors, it makes the table blend in with the rest of the backyard and stand out obnoxiously.
Great toy, just what I expected.』 『This adorable Sand and Water Activity Center features wood crafted styling and nature's colors that blend with traditional landscapes in residential outdoor living areas. It's divided into two separate sides -- one for water, the other for sand. It holds up to 20 lbs. of sand and two gallons of water, not included. The eight-piece accessory set includes an umbrella, two bridges, two boats, two pots and one shovel. A durable, one-piece plastic cover keeps the sand clean and dry -- and your little ones, too. Elastic tie-downs on the ends of the lid keep it securely attached. Molded-in roadways on the lid provide an additional play surface. Legs detach so product can be used at ground level. An umbrella is included for shaded play (design and colors may vary). Minimal adult assembly required. Measures 46.5"L x 26"W x 18.25"H.』

(Ivo Hugh is one lucky engine!) 『I can prove this set can make sombody act crazy. My best friend, who dislikes Thomas&Friends, Went NUTS when I showed him the Hippo car! This is a must have for animal lovers!』
(Hippo opens and closes its mouth as you move the train) 『I wish all the expansion cars had as much thought put into them as this set does.
The Hippo's mouth opens and closes as you move the train. The animal cage car has a sliding door. My 2 year old loves both.

IPhone 3G used's review (Okay ... but not great) 『Needed to purchase additional balls after receiving the Playhut play tent. After seeing other brands in local stores, which were much smaller and "cheaper" (thinner and more collapsible), I decided to purchase the Playhut brand balls. Needless to say, although they are at least the same size as the ones that came with the tent, they are certainly "cheaper" ... thinner, more easily crushed. It doesn't make sense, but the company must send the nicer ones when you purchase a tent or hut, but make a different cheaper version for separate sale.』
(Great Product) 『My 3 year old niece just loved swimming in the ball pit! These balls are very durable and soft. She could get hit with them by her big brother without getting a knot. They hold up great to being sat on and thrown. I would definitely recommned this product.』
(As expected, a box of 100 balls!) 『These are 3" diameter balls which are larger than the 50 that came with the Playhut toys I purchased, which seem to be 2" in diameter. The larger size is better and makes for more volume, so it is a welcomed surprise. They are a good mix of colors, durable, and light (i.e. toddlers OK getting bonked by them).』
(Okay for the price) 『I ordered the extra balls for a ball tent that came with some but not enough to cover the bottom. The plastic balls are ok for the price. They get dented easy but they are durable. I would recommed this to a friend. They are the size of grapefruits and the color doesn't come off them like some of the other plastic balls. My daughter just likes to throw them down the stairs, but it keeps her busy.』
(Very durable but did not come with a duffle bag like it says) 『I am very pleased with the quality of these play balls. The colors are bright and pleasing to the eye. Other balls from other companies are made cheap (unfortunately they are all from China) but these ones seem very durable. None of the balls were deflated. I got them for my son's first birthday and I am excited to see the kids reaction! However beware that when I recieved my order, it didn't come with the duffle bag as the description says. I am a little disappointed because I am not sure how I am going to store them.』 『These vibrant colorful plastic balls are the same type found in popular ball rooms. They are 3" in diameter and add excitement to any ball pit structure.
100 multi-colored balls. 200 to 300 balls are required to fill a ball pit properly. Ages 2 and up..』
IPhone 3G used's review (Great little nursery set) 『My daughter loves this bag. My 2yr. old straps the velcro diaper bag onto her doll stroller. Her favorite part of the set is the diaper and the baby powder that makes a rattling noise when shaken. Daily, she packs everything into the bag and then takes it out-examining the pieces each time. Would definitly recommend.』 『18 months&up. Everything a child needs to take care of their baby doll. A towel, bib, diaper, bottle and bottle of talc all come in a cute carrying tote. Pieces of this set are durable and the towel and bib are machine washable. Children will love feeding, changing, and taking care of their baby doll.』
