IPhone 3G used's review (ICE water needed for color change) 『I bought this Barbie for my 5 year old to play with in our swimming pool, however, when I purchased it I did not read closely that in order for the Barbie to change color, she must be immersed in cold water (i.e. water with ice). When she is dry or in room temperature water, she wears a pink bikini and her dive equipment is also pink. When immersed in ice water, her bikini changes to a blue one piece swimsuit and her equipment turns blue. Included are two dolphins which also have color changing flowers stamped on them. My daughter enjoys playing with the doll and dolphins in the pool, but in order for the doll to color change, we must have a bucket of ice water nearby. If the doll changed colors when immersed in any temperature water, it would be more useful for play in the pool or bathtub.』 『Barbie's friend Teresa is all suited up and ready to join Barbie for some fun water play!』
IPhone 3G used's review (Excellent for toddlers) 『my 3 year old loves these books, she says "look mommy, magic"!
Because they only color on the special paper you don't have to worry about stains on the furniture, clothes etc. and no surprise drawing on the walls!
The only thing I dislike about these is the price, they are too expensive, my daughter colors all the pages in 2-3 days. It's also hard to find just the books without the markers, we have about 30 markers now, it would be nice if crayola would take this into consideration and start selling just the books and lower the price too. $[...]. for a 20pg coloring book a little ridiculous. After a few days the colored pictures smudge and fade as well.
Other than this these books are fun, it's pretty cool to see the unexpected pictures show up. My daughter really gets a kick out of the "magic pictures"』 『Explore the wonder of color using Crayola Color Wonder. Color Wonder is a unique ink, developed by Crayola scientists, that appears only on special paper. The no-mess ink is clear on most surfaces, but each marker "magically" shows up a different color on Color Wonder Paper. This set includes a 24-page Disney Cars Color Wonder Coloring Book and six Color Wonder Markers.』

Infantino
Usually ships in 3 to 5 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (Great for 2 yr olds) 『I bought this puzzle after trying out Infantino's Where's my Tail puzzle (which incidentally is a huge hit) for my 2 yr old daughter. Initially she seemed a bit confused with so many colors&pieces, but soon she got the hang of it. She loves it so much she HAS to have puzzle time morning and evening - I believe this puzzle has strengthened her concept of colors as well as her motor skills. I would highly recommend this for any 2 year old.』
(Excellent learning challenge) 『This was a great Christmas present for my daughter who was approaching 2 at the time. She was already learning her colors and learning how to coordinate puzzle shapes. I thought having 9 puzzles with the 9 different colors would pose as difficult but she quickly realized she needed to sort by color first and then put the puzzles together. At 2 1/2 she still doesn't get bored with it.
Puzzle pieces are sturdy. Just don't let them chew on it.』
(love it) 『My two and a half year old loves this puzzle. It's just the right difficulty level for her. I wasn't sure if she'd go for it at first but she came around and has been putting them together the past couple days. I noticed some of the pieces fit together the wrong way though so sometimes she thinks she has it right anyway even though it's wrong. All the infantino puzzles are very durable too.』
(Would like it better if the pieces fit a little tighter) 『My biggest complaint is that the pieces don't fit together snuggly. This might not be much of a problem if you are playing with them on a hard surface such as a tile or hardwood floor or a table, but when we play on our carpeted living room floor, the pieces don't fit together well. My 1-year-old doesn't quite grasp the concept of putting the pieces together, but does notice like colors and picks up the yellow pieces one in each hand. I like the product; I think developmentally it will help; but I think a better job could have been done to click the pieces together more firmly.』
(Great Fun!) 『I purchased this item for my 18 mo old. It is a bit advanced for her but she enjoys when we sit down for puzzle time.』

IPhone 3G used's review (Nice Product) 『My work uses this on our shop floor holds up nicely, bought one for home』
(Convenient, cheap.) 『The markers are dark and clearly visible, while the eraser is fairly thorough. The box comes with a plastic-molded container (as you see in the picture), with double-sided tape for easy, stable, mounting on a wall beside the whiteboard. For the low price, this is unbeatable.』 『EXPO Six-Marker Organizer』
