IPhone 3G used's review (Big hit with the kids!) 『I've gotten the same enthusiasm for this stamp pad from my 4-yr-old daughter and 8-yr-old nephew. My nephew enjoyed my daughter's horse stamp set, so I bought him the dinosaur set recently. There is something extra special for the kids in getting that BIG, bright, extra stamp pad with the stamp pad in the stamp set! The colors are vibrant and offer so much more creativity when the kids are using the stamps. A worthwhile purchase!』
(My kid loves it) 『It's beautiful and easy to use and carry around. My kid loves to add stamps to her drawings and colorings, and it's a good price too.』
(Love this stamp pad) 『We've spent a fortune on stamp pads of individual colors, and this one is the best. It's fun for stamping and fingerprinting (like any of the Ed Emberley finger/thumb/funprint books). We love Ed Emberley around here, and his books are all multicolored, so you have a choice, either lose some of the magic with monochromatic fingerprinting, spend $30 on individual stamp pads - if you can find them, or BUY THIS!』
(Very Nice!) 『I bought this stamp pad for my 3-year-old to go along with a "Melissa&Doug" stamp set. This stamp pad is really nice. It's very big (bigger than I expected) and the colors are really bright. It's easy for little hands to use because of it's size and the ink is washable, so it's easy to wash off hands and wash off of counters/clothing.』 『Each color is divided in this 6 color stamp pad so there is no blending of colors. The set includes Non-toxic washable ink.』

IPhone 3G used's review (Out of the box thinking!!! FUN) 『Bought the Color bug (from amazon) and the playset with walls (from another site) for my 5 year boy...and he loved it! We filled 8 sheets of paper (front and back) the night of christmas!!! Great value and price for a RC vehicle with features..also, works with other markers then the RC ART WASHABLE MARKERS. I would recommend the playset if buying this item. Found mine using the companies website...kind of weird Amazon doesn't carry it. Would..and will buy again!』 『Color Bug is a ladybug-shaped remote-controlled toy that draws on art surfaces using washable markers that snap into the toy. Using the toy's controller, kids create colorful art by steering turns and spins of the motorized Color Bug. Includes Color Bug with controller and 4 washable markers.The pictures end up being free-form line drawings that have no right or wrong. For the artistic child, spaces created between lines could be colored in like a mosaic. For the engineer child, the remote control can be managed accurately enough to write letters or form shapes. This toy is also ideal for kids who think they don't like to draw! Color Bug has been a hit with people who work with Special Needs kids. For the child who cannot hold or control a marker well enough to create a satisfying picture, this toys is fantastic!The Color Bug can use any standard craft marker so you don't need specific replacements. The marker is easy to snap in and out so it is simple to change colors. The red and blue Color Bugs come as 47 MHz, the pink comes as 27 MHz so two kids can play in the same area without frequencies interfering with each other. Suggested playing surfaces include: large sheets of paper on an activity/train table, hard floor or outdoor surface. The washable markers wipe easily off if the child accidently goes off the paper. Requires 3 "AAA" batteries, not included and one 9V battery, not included. Measures 5"H x 3"W x 2"D.』

IPhone 3G used's review (5 month old enjoys, but Yellow touchpad already broken) 『As I expected my baby boy at 4 months old really took interest in this toy. He is teething and likes to chew on every appendage, even the ribbon "hair". He is delighted by the sounds, especially the rhyme mode, and works well to divert him from cranky moments during play. The back of the octopus' head has a velcro opening, which enables you to possibly wash the fabric body, but I have not tried to do it yet. However, the Yellow tentacle's touchpad receiver became broken after only a couple of weeks of very light play, which is disappointing. Overall, he does not seem to know the difference, and plays with it in various ways. It is a good toy for parent-child interactive play.』
(Sweet) 『Very bright and fun. My baby is a little too young (8 months) to press the keys completely each time, but I am sure she will enjoy it as she gets bigger. She loves shaking the beads on the leap frog tag.』
(Not what you think) 『The octopus volume was fine, however, it is soooo difficult to press the sensors to make it speak. It is near impossible for my 7 month old to do it. When it does speak, the voice is grating and the sayings repetitive. I thought it was a really cute product, but it turned out to be a waste of money.』
(Not what I thought) 『Arrived a little dingy and says English/Spanish colors as you push the tenticles of the octopus. If you don't push them just right then it won't play.』
(Too cute for words!) 『My grandson was only a month old but when the toy talked he would get a smile on his face, too cute, too soft, loved it!!』 『Encourage baby to touch each colored button on this friendly octopus to hear fun songs and rhymes. Introduce baby to rhymes, musical notes and colors in English and Spanish with just the touch of a button. Features links, rattle and mirror for added play. Introduces colors, music appreciation and language.
Suggested Play Ideas:
Introduce baby to the Spanish language! Help baby press the colored circles on the octopus to hear the corresponding color stated in both English and Spanish! Encourage baby to state the color, as well.
Set the Colors&Tunes Octopus to the Musical Keyboard mode and allow baby to be creative and express himself through his own music.
Show baby how to make the Octopus sing rhymes and encourage baby to sing along.

IPhone 3G used's review (Fun and creative teaching tool) 『I bought this game for my 9 and 4 yr old children. My 9 yr old just loves it and she caught on with very little instruction. When I play with my 4 yr old she is able to contribute to figuring out where each color goes. I wish this game had a better storage system. The only durable part of the packaging is the bottom. The little colored balls are very easy to loose and if just one is lost it would be hard to play this game. Other than that we've had some real fun with this game. It is good to watch my 9 yr old use reasoning and logic in a colorful creative way. She's doing math and doesn't even realize it!』
(Hooked on colors!) 『ColorKu is a lot more fun than the classic numerical form of Sudoku -- I'm hooked on it! LOTS of puzzles are included with the game, along with instructions on how to convert any regular Sudoku puzzle into this color version. I'm a senior citizen, but my grandchildren love it, too!』
(Really great in color - just one problem...) 『Sukoku is absolutely fun and addicting especially in color. This is a great idea but I had to actually paint over some of the colors to make them more distinguishable. Some of the colors were just too close in similarity and that made it difficult to play. For instance the red and orange were very close (I mean very) and so are the dark blue and dark green. Perhaps my vision isn't as great as everyone else's - LOL!! Anyhow, I quickly remedied the problem by painting the orange and dark blue balls! Other than that I just love it :-)』
(Wonderful ColorKu Game!) 『My 11 year old niece received this for Christmas. We had so much fun playing with it; and it was nice to see strategy she used compared to mine. I bought two, one for me and one for my friends at a Real Estate Office to put in the conference room where people usually wait 30 minutes. At my birthday party, we had 12 different people fighting over who could study and play!』
(A Great Twist on Sudoku) 『I have to agree with all of the reviewers. This is a terrific twist on conventional sudoku. It occupies a treasured place on my coffee table in front of the TV. The game appeals to all ages and is an instant magnet to visitors and family alike. I find my kids play it while watching TV or just hanging out. All my daughter's friends can't resist it when they come over to visit. The balls certainly will roll all over the floor if dumped so a bowl or something is helpful, and yes, they can be swallowed by young children, so you can't leave it around if anyone is at that particular oral stage.』 『Wooden Board Game of Skill and Logic
