LeapFrog® Tag Reading System

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: LeapFrog

June 08, 2008
I have spent over an hour trying to install the software for this thing. It's not working. It won't connect to their webpage to download the audiobooks. If I had known that I would have to connect to the internet for every audio download, I would have never bought this for my daughter. What happened to the good old cartridge you install in the device?? I have tried disabling my firewall thinking it might be blocking it, but it wasn't. So I am giving up and returning it.

Vtech - Kidizoom Digital Camera - Pink

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: V Tech


My daughter got this camera for her birthday in September and absolutely loves it. She started out just taking pictures of the floor and not pointing at subjects but has learned how to frame a picture and has become a pretty good photographer (for a 3 year old)! This camera takes a beating and keeps on working. Younger sis has dropped it countless times without a dent.

Vtech - Kidizoom Digital Camera - Blue

I purchased this camera for my grandson's 4th birthday after looking at several different brands. It is simple to operate, has plenty of memory without a card,takes clear enough photos for him to print and display, and came with cables and software included. I would definitely recommend this camera for budding photographers.

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel

We bought this easel for my daughters (age 6 & 7) last Christmas. As I am starting my Christmas shopping this year and really looking over reviews before I make my purchases, I realized that I should give feedback on some of the things we purchased last year. This easel is very versatile: chalkboard, dry erase board and paper allow for all kinds of artistic expression! Some of the features I appreciate: adjustable legs, paper roll in between the easel boards, shelves for paint, dry erase markers and chalk. We purchased the paint and chalk supplies as well, and I really like the paint dispensers. Even my 2 year old son likes the easel. It's well balanced too, we have never had it collapse (like another cheaper brand that was purchased for my ... Read More:

Vtech - Tote 'N Go Laptop Plus

My son recieved this as a gift a few months ago from his grandmother. I was a little skeptical because of his age and being able to use it with asking for help all the time. But in about a week he plays with it and learned most of the games. He plays with it when mommy works on her laptop. Extremely durable, have only had to switch the batteries twice, but it is used all the time. It was a great asset on our trip to VA which was a 9 hour drive. My son loves it and I do to!

I am going to return this. After much excitement to get started, both kids were frustrated and disappointed. Not a good toy. The directions/instructions were very brief, too hard to see the picture through the plates, the litte balls rolled all over.

I can see where children would become a little bored with this, but it's really fun the first few times.

Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Light Saber

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: Hasbro


Before I bought the Clone Wars Ultimate Light Saber I tried to find if someone had tried using the new parts with the original ultimate light saber. I wasn't able to find any clarification on this, but now that I've got it, I can confirm that the parts are indeed interchangeable. The only disappointment is that the new silver color doesn't look as good/doesn't match the original.

In regards to making a double sided light saber...with the 2 copies of the original set I bought a black rubber laundry water tube extender with metal screw clamps and cut it to size so that I could have a double handled saber rather than the single handed double headed (with only one lighted blade...though I did try putting a small LED light inside the unlit blade with success). It worked ... Read More:

Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper

This toy is a favorite with our grandchildren. We first bought it for my granddaughter on her first Christmas at one years old. Then we were blessed to receive two more grandchildren from states away for good! Now, I can't put it away from our 3 1/2 year old grandson. My husband and I so much enjoy watching the children play and we've had it for almost a year now. In my opinion, it is one of the best toys out there.

Yes, the plastic balls; you have to fetch them. But what toys do you not have to fetch at some point anyway? Our set has stayed in tact and has worked on key with every push of the coveted button. And we sing along to the music since we grandparents aren't too old that we can't remember at least some of the words. ... Read More:
