LeapFrog Disney Princesses - Leapster Software

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: LeapFrog

September 06, 2004
My 4 year old daughter really enjoys this software cartridge and has spent many happy hours playing independently on it. She particularly enjoys singing along to the songs (as do her older brothers of 8 and 10!).
The educational content is good but perhaps not quite as strong as some of the other available software cartridges. It is extremely easy for her to use independently and it certainly provides hours of pleasure. In my opinion this software is best aimed at girls aged 4 to 6 as regards educational content but I'm sure an older child would still enjoy playing on the games and listening to the songs.

VTech Whiz Kid

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: VTech


I have never written a review but had to for this item. I bought it based on the previous reviews for my daughter who is 2 and a half and she plays with it constantly. there are lots of different activities and although at times she struggles with the pens - with parental help she is solving lots of the puzzles and keeps coming back to it to play some more. we have not attached it yet to a computer but even on its own it is fab and so portable that it will be our number one toy for holidays. we also got the dora add on pack which again is brilliant although the puzzles are slighly harder than the standard pack. brilliant item love it!

Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage Tea Set Accessory Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: Worlds Apart

December 08, 2007
They obviously have the item description wrong. There's no mention of the actual product advertised, which is the tea set. Think about it, why would an ironing board be included in a tea set??? They've mixed up the descriptions for the tea set and the cleaning set. If you read the description for the cleaning set (due to be released in February) it states it "Includes teapot, 4 cups, 4 saucers, 4 teaspoons, 4 sparkly tea bags, 4 cup cakes" Amazing that Amazon can't figure that out and someone had to order 2 of them hoping to get the right product.

Orchard Toys Insey Winsey Spider

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: Orchard Toys


My 3 year old loves this; the arbitrary nature of who wins or loses depending on whether the spinner says it's raining or sunny is good fun too. My five year old finds it harder to accept a rainy outcome when she's nearly at the top of the spout - but it does teach following the rules which is an important skill. Glad we bought it, both children get very excited about playing it.

Wild Science - Ant World

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: Interplay UK


I was given this as a leaving present, as a kind of joke, but my colleagues didn't realise I've always loved ants and really wanted one of these for ages! I wasn't disappointed. This is a well-designed product which provides hours of entertainment and fascination. I've seen all sorts of strange things going on in my Ant World: ants moving things around then back again like women designing a living room with furniture, a brutal murder when an ant I thought had escaped turned out to clearly be from outside (i.e. it was killed within minutes of entry), and interesting preferences for lunch: fruits not as popular as one might think, honey, other insects and even nuts proving popular on the menu. Further, there's plenty of ways to improvise with this kit, ... Read More:

Fisher-Price Touch & Feel Farm

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: Fisher-Price


My 9 month old baby had this toy given for Christmas and absolutely loved it. She used to hold one animal in one hand and another animal in her other hand and she'd take them everywhere with her. My 2nd child adored the farm too and now my 3rd (and last) child is playing with it. It has not changed a bit since the day we had it given even though all of my children have chewed on the animals and the farmer at one time or another. I would have to say though that the ideal age for this toy is perhaps 9 months to 20 months - I cannot image a 3 or 4 year old being interested for more than a day or two.

VTech V.Smile Pocket Pink

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: VTech


I got this for my daughter or christmas and she loves it. I am really impressed with the quality of the product. It is very duarable (it's been dropped many times!), there are no ill effects. It has made long car journeys a lot more enjoyable. I would buy the case to go with it aswell as it just makes it easier to carry the games. The battery life is very good. I would recommend this toy to anyone.

Le Toy Van Painted Wooden Mikes Auto Garage

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Aids
from: Le Toy Van


I've seen so many toys broken before Christmas is even finished, so I wanted to get my grandson something that would last. This toy is superb quality, very strong, brightly coloured and with the addition of some more vehicles, provided two little boys with hours of fun on the first day. I did hesitate before spending so much, but I'm so glad I did now.
