Bright froggy green and sky blue, this lightweight butwell-stitched backpack is made just for carrying a LeapPad around in. There'sa special pouch with extra padding for the LeapPad, another that willhold up to four LeapPad books, and little net pouches for four LeapPadcartridges. Velcro fasteners make it easy for a child to secure theflap, which is emblazoned with the leapy frog himself. There areadjustable shoulder straps padded for comfort and a handle forbriefcase-style carrying. The shiny material is surface washable andresistant to stains. --M. Sullivan ... Read more

Needs a bit more padding to be perfect.
My 5yr old got the LeapPad writing system for Xmas, and we also needed a way for him to be responsible for his own "laptop computer".Pockets are large and wuite roomy to carry extra books & cartridges, and the two color options (boy vs. girl) is a nice touch.

The nylon fabric seems quite durable, similar to soft-sided suitcases. Will probably clean off easily too. The nylon seems strong enough to be able to hold its shape under "little boy" use for a while.

I wish it had some padding so that when my son wears it, he doesn't have such a hard object banging him on the back. He tends to run a lot. I'm sure he won't even notice all that stuff flopping around behind him, but it's something that wouldn't have been that difficult to incorporate into the design (I believe the Backpack I had some padding).

This is a must have for the Leap Pad!
We got this backpack along with the leap pad and 6 other books and gave it to our son as an early Christmas gift.He loves it and the backpack is perfect!He can get everything out and play with his leap pad books and then he puts them all back up in the backpack and when we go somewhere he packs it with him to the car.I never have to worry about him losing his cartridges as they are stored safetly in the backpack pockets and everything is light weight and easy for our 3 1/2 year old to carry by him self.
GREAT ITEM!

Leap to Order
For the price this is a great accessory for your LeapPad!My son gets twice the number of cartridges and books it it with plenty of room to spare.We even have some ziplocks with extras that can fit in no problem.The padded straps are easy on the shoulders and everything is neat and safely transported from grams house to friends to the doctor's office and everywhere in between.If you travel with your little one and their pad this is a great help.

Oh and big deal about the color difference.IF that's such a concern that it warrants a trip back to the store you have WAY too much time on your hands. My advice: use that extra time to read with your child!Life is too short and childhood too precious.

The price is great and IT WORKS just as it should and more.Another great Amazon offering. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The Wheels on the Bus Game will probably drive adults 'round and 'roundthe bend, with its all-talking, all-singing action, powered by three AAbatteries (not included). But designed for 3- to 6-year-olds, this combinationof memory game, play-acting, and sing-along fits nicely into Milton Bradley's"My First Games" portfolio. Players take turns rolling the musical yellow bus totheir space on the board. Pressing the hood tells them which of the four tokens(door, wiper, horn, or wheel) to locate by turning over any two of the 20 face- down tokens. Make a match, and keep the token; collect all four, and it's anexpress ride to the winner's circle. --Tony Mason ... Read more

Annoying toy!!
I had seen this toy on tv and my son (5 years) wanted it so we bought it for Christmas.It is so annoying! The music on the school bus is so loud and there is no on/off switch.When we put it up and something bumps it, it goes off with the music.I finally just took the batteries off.My son played with it a little and now he is tired of it.I would save your money and buy a better game.

Not getting the credit it deserves
We got this as a gift for my 3 year old and he absolutely loved it. Granted the song gets old but what toy that plays music doesn't? My kids never got tired of it. What is nice is you can play the easier level for young kids and as they get older you can use it as a more difficult matching game. The best part is the bus plays the entire "Wheels on the bus" song at the end and the kids can do all the motions that go with the song. I would recommend it and I think it is taking an unfair rap on these reviews.

VERY ANNOYING
This game is very annoying. The bus never is silent. It plays over and over even if you are not playing the game. You can't cut it off. We finally through it outside in the sandbox and still sometimes it will play when we are out in the yard. ... Read more

Dusty Talkin' Tool Bench
Average Customer Review:
Toy

Editorial Review

"Hey, buddy, let's get to work!" Dusty the Talking Tool Bench has lotsof encouraging comments for budding carpenters, delivered with a cheery cowboytwang. Dusty's molded plastic face is shown on the back of the workbench, andwhen he talks, his mouth moves, his red hardhat lights up, and his silverwrench-shaped eyebrows move up and down. Other comical talking characters areincorporated into the workbench, with bug-eyed silver nails, a red clamp withbig white teeth, and a separate hammer and saw wearing molded hardhats. The toolbench produces a total of 24 sounds and phrases powered by three AA batteries(included). Dusty even passes along some advice every carpenter lives by: "Don'tforget to put your tools away." --Marcie Bovetz ... Read more

No way to turn off sound
This toy would not stop talking all night and annoyed the kids to no end.There was no on/off botton to control the sound and the kids were constantly trying to get me to turn it off because it would wake them up at night.I think it scared them and they would not play with it after the first night.

Dusty is a Musty
I have 2 sons ages 4 & 2, & they both love this toy.It was actually a gift for my 2 year old last Christmas, but the 4 year old hardly lets him play with it.They can saw the board, & it makes saw sounds.It says really cute things, & they both giggle.This is a wonderful toy, & a perfect gift for the little builder you know aged 1-6.

Not Very Much Fun....
The legs of the tool bench never stay on, and the thing
keeps falling over! The tools are okay but nothing too exciting.
My 2 year old son shows very little interest in it.
If I could, I would return it for my money back! ... Read more
