LeapFrog Spiderman - Leapster Software

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: LeapFrog

January 24, 2005
My son is just 5 and absolutely loves this as does my 7 year old.
It teaches spelling by presenting words spelled wrong and then the child has to find and correct these words.
It was a little difficult at first for my 5 year old i would recommend this for age 6 and over but he did get to grips with it and has spent a long time playing the games.
A must for any spiderman fan

Oregon Scientific - PR18 Smart Globe

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Oregon Scientifc


I bought this for my two children aged 4 and 5 and the eldest loves it, though the youngest gets involved with it too. It sits in the living room and they frequently play with it - my eldest now knows all the continents and some countries and we have only had it a few days. Their current favourite function is the national anthems.

I rate this item highly, it's educational, it's interactive and can also simply be 'played with' as part of children's other imaginary games.

The batteries that came with the item have now run out and I will probably purchase the mains lead (which I think is available separately).

I agree that the pen could be improved a little as many European countries are very small and touching ... Read More:

Orchard Toys Dinosaur Discovery Puzzle

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Orchard Toys


This is great as it has a "key" of the main animals and plants around the edge with their names, sizes and when they were alive. Kids can learn a bit about the dinosaurs from that, but also use it to find the dinosaurs in the picture once they've put it together.
There's a lot going on in the picture, too, so you can spend time talking about which dinos are vegetarian and which meat-eating, etc.
The colours are bright and attractive (although you might have to explain that no-one knows what colours these animals were).
My only suggestion would be that there could be a booklet or something included to give more information on each species, or even a separate book linked to the puzzle (that Amazon could do a deal on if you bought both!).

TOMY STARLIGHT DREAMSHOW IN PINK

I bought this for my ten week old baby girl whilst she was sleeping in her moses basket and couldn't have a cot mobile. It's very basic but very cute - it glows a subtle pink colour, has a lovely soothing lullaby that plays for 5 or 10 minutes and a teddy-bear light show that projects onto the ceiling. I turn it on as part of my daughters sleep routine and really works well.

Orchard Toys Magic Cauldron

from: Orchard Toys


I bought this game for my son who was very reluctant to do any maths with me.It is a fun way of learning, and he gained alot of confidence. I now use this game in my role as SEN teaching asssistant, you can group the cards into +, - and X and focus on that area. It can be used with other teaching aids to speed up the sums, and help gain confidence. A game for two can take 15 to 20 minutes.
