IPhone 3G used's review (Not all it's cracked up to be.) 『I bought two of these for my niece's birthday. The idea of cracking an egg and opening it are great, but the metal egg is hard to open without throwing it down (which dents it permanently). The cloth egg doesnt fall out of the egg very well, either. My niece still played with it alot and I know overall, she will use it over and over again.』
(My 20-month nephew loves this toy!) 『It is about the size a real, medium size egg. I wish that I had bought more than one, (it would have been cute to have a dozen in a carton) but the price was too expensive. As for durability, the felt "egg" is going to get dirty and I'm not sure if it is washable. I gave a low educational rating because I'm not sure what a child could be learning from this. But, it does look like a real egg. I bought it for him to enjoy and he defiantly does! Still, because of the price, I don't think I'd buy another.』
(Pricey but neat) 『My only problem with this toy is the cost but it is an adorable concept and my 19 month old daughter plays with it alot. I think she'll really love it when she's older.』
(Realistic eggs for the play kitchen) 『This toy promotes imagination in your child's "kitchen". These cloth sunny side eggs come out of their metal painted shells and look like the real thing. They are so well made! A child can easily refold the cloth egg and put it back in the shells for a replay of the simulation of cracking an egg open to make a recipe or fry an egg. No cheap little platic parts here. HABA makes really well-made toys - like they used to make years ago. I purchased 3 of these and my daughter loves them for her play kitchen.』
("Eggstraspecial" toy) 『I love this toy but more importantly my 23 month child loves this toy too! It is the perfect size for the play kitchen skillet and pots. Its so nice! We have the Learning Resources fried egg. Its nice but this is better. This egg is awesome because my child loves to "crack" the egg open! Fanstastic toy! The best food item we own and we own a lot of high quality pretend food! We bought 2 eggs and we are glad that we did because it's a very popular toy with the kids. Every meal has an egg in it! I also recommend Haba's cloth noodles.』 『Wonderful wooden play food for children from ages 3 and up.』
IPhone 3G used's review (great toy) 『this was bought for my niece's birthday and it went through her and her younger sister before being handed down to my son who loves it. he has always loved noise making toys. it seems to be a very durable toy. only one button sticks occasionally and that is after 5 years.』
(Durable and Fun!) 『I bought this for my rambunctious child when he was about a year old. It was one of his favorite toys. He would even stand on it and manipulate it with his feet. The sounds are not too loud, they are of good quality, and there are so many different buttons that it kept my son entertained for quite some time. After almost 2 years the product is still in good working order so it is extremely durable ~ and I haven't had to replace the batteries once!』
(Absolutely love this toy!!!) 『This has been probably the best toy purchase I have made for my son (he is 16 months old). He can play with this toy anywhere and for a long time. He absolutely loves it. The sound are so real and entertaining. Most of the buttons are easy to push and some require a little more thought on his part (he has figured them all out now) which I totally love. I take this toy in the car and he will play with it and it is the only toy that he does not throw after a few seconds. I am buying a few more of these for some of his little friends for Christmas.』
(Fun and Durable) 『This adorable laptop style Sesame Street toy is perfect for little hands. The silly sounds are clear and clever, i.e., bouncing ball, bubbles, Elmo's giggle and Cookie Monster munching, ducks quacking, telephone ringing and a doorbell so realistic that I think it's our own front door every time! This toy has been dropped more times than we can count, and it has stood up to the wear and tear wonderfully. It's over a year old and we haven't even had to replace the batteries yet. One side features Elmo's face, and Cookie Monster peeks out from the other side. Has a handy carry handle just the right size for little hands. We even tote this one in the car and it occupies our kids for a long ride.』 『Children will have hours of fun with the zany sounds coming from the Sesame Street Giggle Station. Each time they press any of the 15 buttons, knobs or slides, they'll hear silly sound effects -- and fun giggles when they least expect it! The lights in the middle flash differently every time a button is pushed. Measures approximately 8.5" x 6.25" x 1.5". Requires 3 "AAA" alkaline batteries (included).』

Usually ships in 5 to 6 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (great train for girls) 『one of the few girl trains you can buy anywhere. thomas trains are worth the extra money you pay. they are much more durable and best of all they roll easier than cheaper (i.e. Brio) trains. This is important if you child likes to make long trains by connecting multiples together.』 『Rosie is a feisty, fun and very free-spirited tomboy tank engine who idolizes Thomas, copying his every action and mood. This drives Thomas crazy, as he just wants to be left alone to be "Really Useful." But why, thinks Rosie, can't they be "Really Useful" together' Based on the characters as seen in "Thomas and the Birthday Mail" story. Rosie measures 4.5" x 1.5" x 5".』
IPhone 3G used's review (Superb Toy) 『We bought this for our 3 year old son's birthday a month ago. He has played with these tiles more than any of his other toys. This, for him, is on par with Curious George, keeps him occupied for long periods of time. His only frustration is trying to put the door in place. If the truth be told, dad has also built a few impressive structures of his own. Great toy!!』
(Creative toy) 『I bought this toy for our first grandson 3 years ago - now we have a second grandson I wanted him to have the same toy. The first grandson still plays with it, and it is great shape. Gives them an opportunity to use their imagination to build a lot of different things. It is just a great toy, well worth the money.』
(Best Toy Ever!) 『I bought these tiles for my kids not quite one year ago. They had just turned two. It took a little while, but now they love them! I have already bought a second set, and I plan on buying a third and fourth. My friend's thirteen year old son likes to build with them when he's here, and my best friend's husband also loved them. It is truly a toy for all ages, they inspire creativity, and they are totally worth the money.』
(Fun for all) 『This is our second set of Magna-Tiles. We love having the wheels and other fun shapes. My 3 year old son likes building trucks, etc. My 7&10 year old daughters like constructing houses, etc. It's a wonderful, creative set, fun for all ages (the 10 year old probably likes it the best:)』
(Keeps my son occupied!) 『My almost 5-year-old loves the Magna Tiles DX. He received it as his 4 year birthday present a year ago&immediately went to work building. Sometimes he builds the suggested shapes/forms, sometimes he creates his own,&sometimes he creates patterns with the colors and tile shapes. He continues to enjoy this toy. I highly recommend this toy for any preschool aged child -&probably most elementary kids too. It lets kids be creative, inventive, play w/ colors and observe the properties of magnets as well.』 『4 years and up. Go from flat to 3-D in the snap of a magnet! Children will enjoy discovering the properties of magnets with this 48 piece set. Set includes solid colored pieces and unique pieces with holes, curves, magnetic door and a wheeled piece. Idea guide is provided.』

He didn't care for it on the plane, but once we got home, all he was saying is "barney, barney" (and he doesn't speak English). He loves the songs and dances to it.』 『Are you ready for some Tee-riffic fun?

IPhone 3G used's review (Love These Dolls) 『We love the Polly Pocket series of dolls. This set is just another example of the wide variety of sets available in the collection. My daughter plays with them for long stretches at the time.
Highly recommend them.』
(Polly Pockets Pet Spa) 『My daughter loves Polly Pockets, and wanted all of them for Christmas. Knowing I couldn't buy all of them, being that she liked pets, I bought a few sets that had something to do with pets. The Pet Spa was one of them, and my 8 year old absolutely loves them. Even my 3 year old likes playing with the set.』
(Calling all Polly Pocket Collectors!) 『Polly Pocket Totally Trendy Pets Paw Spa Playset It gets harder and harder to find the Polly Pockets set that my granddaughters don't have. I am always able to find one on Amazon.com. I can only say that Polly Pockets is the number one gift on the lists of 4 of my granddaughters. They love being able to get another Polly doll and getting new outfits to change her into. They all fit her closly so they don't fall off and get lost. This spa playset is great as it also has pets with it and is a sweet way for your child to use their imagination in their play. It is also great for the child who loves to dress up their dolls. It's like the old fashioned paper doll, with no cut outs to do but lots of clothes ready for the doll to 'try on'. Treat your favorite little girl to the joy of these little dolls and their pets. They are a joy for any young girl to have.』
(Adorable set for Polly Pocket fans!!) 『My daughter had to have a Polly Pocket set after being at her cousins and seeing hers. So off to the toy store we went, she quickly decided on this set because of the sparkly kitty cats. It is absolutely adorable with all the little animals. It seemed to have more pieces than the other Polly Pocket sets and was a lower price. My daughter has played with it non-stop since bringing it home. The only downfall is some of the animals sweaters are hard to get on and off for little learning hands, so she does have to ask for help quite a bit.』
(If you love polly pockets this is a must have!) 『My daughter loves Polly Pockets. We bought this for her for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. It is so cute how it comes with the animals and little sweaters for them to wear. It comes with a bench, a hair stylist chair, a divider screen, a armoire, and a stand where you wash them and stlye them with a mirror. It even has little scissors (they don't open and shut, they are just little rubber scissors)This is really cute and it was a great value for the money. I liked the price. Has lots of little parts that go with it. I definitely think this is a great toy.』 『There's nothing better than styling up your trendy pet pals. Now Polly and her five pets can get a fab facial or get glammed up with new 'dos that are perfect for their real hair. Afterwards, Polly and her pampered pets can chill-ax in the "relaxation room." The Polly Pocket Glitz&Glam Trendy Pets Spa comes with a Polly doll, five glittery pet friends, plus lots of fashions and accessories. Colors and decorations may vary.』
IPhone 3G used's review (One of the Nicest Sets) 『After the kitchen set, this is probably one of the best sets to have for your dollhouse. It comes with lots of pieces. The drawer opens in the buffet table, the tablecloth and chair covers are removeable, and there are several food pieces (cupcake tower, tea set, etc.). It also has much nicer colors and fabrics than the other sets.
Other reviewers that have said more chairs would be nice, but I would take that a step further. A long rectangle table with room for the family would be more fun.』
(Goes well with the set) 『Anything more to this set and it would not have fit in the "Fisher Price Loving Family Dollhouse"
Nicely done, my DD likes this set quite a bit and oohed and ahhed when she unwrapped it. She likes the clock and the tea set. Sure, 2 chairs is a little skimpy but I think having 4 would have frustrated her to no end trying to set it up by herself.
Well built and withstands the attentions of her 3 year old brother. :) I'm also happy with the lack of sound/light effects here, not everything needs to be an overkill.』
(Nice Amenities) 『I like this toy for little girls, it's sweet, I like the food and table service, more chairs and more room in the actual doll house for them would be great though』
(Nice addition to the dollhouse) 『I purchased this room as an accessory to the twin time dollhouse. It comes with the table, tablecloth which can be removed, 2 chairs with covers, 2 place settings, a cake, buffet table with opening drawer, and a grandfather clock. My daughter thinks its very cute and so do I. The only problem with it is that it only comes with 2 chairs and that it just fits into the room in the dollhouse. Any bigger and it wouldn't fit.』
(Lifelike) 『This is a cute set and looks lifelike. The furniture is too big for the room in the dollhouse. Not just the dining room but all of it. I think it is hard for tiny hands to maneuver in the rooms with the dolls and furniture. The set itself is made well....the child learns because it looks like a real set.The set is durable and takes a lot of abuse from my two year old.』 『Deck out the Loving Family Grand Dollhouse with this coordinating furniture set. It features tiny details and lots of mini must-haves to make life cozy for the Loving Family. For use with the Loving Family Grand Dollhouse, sold separately.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Takes a lot of space) 『This is a cute nursery which consists of bassinets with attached spinning mobiles for the twins, a changing table with lights and music and a rocking chair. The Grand dollhouse I have for my grandchildren is furnished except for the attic. These pieces do not really fit there because they are so high you are unable to make use of the floor space - everything bumps into the edge of the roof. These must have been designed for the Twin Time dollhouse which looks like it has higher attic ceilings. So I like the Grand dollhouse, like the nursery, but I would have looked for a different nursery had I known the bassinets and/or changing table were too tall to really work in this attic.』
(Ugly, But Fun) 『Of the three premium sets available (kitchen, dining room, nursery), this one is the lamest. It is ugly and looks like they are still using the same mold and paint from the mid-90s. It lacks fun details found in the other premium sets and even in some of the basic sets.
That said, it is one of my daughter's favorite sets. She loves the glider chair that is the same style as her grandma's and uses it to have the grandma doll rock the babies to sleep. She tucks the babies in and changes their diaper.
The diaper changing table plays music and lights up. There is definite product placement with the aquarium mobile on the diaper changing table, but maybe that adds to the fun if it is just like their younger siblings?
The bassinets do not have blankets and you have to spin the mobiles with your hand. Weeeee.』 『Taking care of baby twins is a lot of fun, especially with all the right nursery gear! The changing table has real lights and music, making changing time extra-sweet. Two beautiful bassinets have spinning mobiles and fabric skirts, and theres even a rocking chair for mom or dad.』
IPhone 3G used's review (James and his tender at a good price.) 『This was shipped in a timely manner and got exactly what I expected. If you order at least 3 engines, it's worth paying the shipping and getting the discount vs. buying it at a local retail store.』
(Neither my Grandson nor I have found a Thomas&Friend Wooden Train we don't like!) 『Thomas&Friends Wooden Railway Trains offer endless playtime for our Grandson. Mom, Dad, and both sets of Grandparents enjoy watching, playing, and helping him layout new track designs.』
(An excellent toy) 『This has been a great addition to my daughter's Thomas collection. She enjoys the bright red paint, and easily recognizes James while watching the Thomas DVD's.
Though it may seem odd to consider this an "educational" toy, I've used it when teaching my daughter her colors, numbers, as well as coordination.
Learning Curve has recalled all defective versions of this train, and so you should not be concerned with purchasing this or any other red (or yellow) train.
』
(This toy will give your child brain damage) 『Thomas the Tank Engine toys, specifically the red James with coal car # 5, as this product depicts, have been recalled due to excessive levels of lead in the red paint. I would throw away this product, or any other red painted Thomas the Train product, until it is clear that the products in the pipeline are demonstrably lead free.』 『A medium-sized engine. He likes to think of himself as a really splendid engine. This can occasionally lead to grandiose ideas about the sort of work suitable for such a noble creature, which invariably lands James in trouble.』
IPhone 3G used's review (awesome) 『My daughter got this when she turned one and didn't touch it. But now, at 16 months, it's like a brand new toy. She puts things in the cups and rattles them around, knocks the towers down when I stack the cups, and she puts the cups inside each other, and takes them out of each other too. She really enjoys this, and the toy is incredibly versatile. I highly recommend this toy.』
(Super, for what it is.) 『This is a great toy - two for the price of one, since you get the stacking cups and the sorting bucket. The stacking cups don't really sit perfectly on one another, so your stack will have a little bit of wonkiness to it - but the kid's just going to knock it down in a minute anyway, so it's not like it needs to be as sturdy as a bridge!』
(Great set of stacking cups) 『We got this toy when our son was a year old - he's three now and still plays with it!
Most other stacking toys we've seen only have 5-6 items at most to stack. This set has 10 stacking cups, plus the bucket can also be used as the bottom of the stack. At first our son just loved to have us build towers for him to knock down. Then he enjoyed figuring out how to nest the cups into each other. Finally he mastered building the entire tower himself, when the finished tower was even taller than he was!』
(Smaller than I expected) 『These were much smaller than I expected them to be. The largest one (with the handle) is only 5 inches tall and 5 inches in diameter. And they are a bit hard to stack. But the kids are having fun with them.』
(Stacking blocks with bucket) 『This toy was for my grandson when he visited in Aug '08. He was 14 mos old. At first, when all the buckets were inside each other, he ignored it and when to a similar building toy. When I showed he how he could stack the buckets end on end and be taller than himself, interest peaked. He knocked then down and with help built them up and knocked them down several times with much delight. The bucket he carried around with him all day. It is a strong toy with many different possibilities of play. I hope you continue to carry this product in the future.』 『These brightly colored Nest and Stack Buckets will provide hours of fun for your toddler. A bright storage bucket with a handle includes ten stacking and nesting cup, plus four fun shapes for sorting. Stack them up to make a tower over 3' tall.』
