great idea, but...
The Get-Up Roaring Dinosaur looks like a pretty cool toy, and my 3 year old nephew fell in love with it when he first put it on; however, the fun was short lived.He immediately took on his adorable, little dinosaur persona and he loved the great sound effects, but the costume was simply too hot for him to wear for long, especially while tromping around.Also, the sound effects didn't always fit his imagined scenario.After just a few minutes, the whole thing ended up another discarded, temporary toy.Although he still likes to pretend he's a dinosaur, he does so sans costume.

This may work as a great halloween costume, but it will not be the source of hours of fun for energetic 3-6 year olds.On the other hand, I'd like to know when they come out with an adult-sized version!

One of the most inventive toys on the market
This toy is really one of the coolest I've seen. Unfortunately these Get-ups were not around when I was little but I get excited just watching my little brother and my little cousins play in their Get-ups for hours. Depending on which animal the child chooses they can slip into furry slippers and a stuffed-animal-like head piece that makes realistic noises in relation to the childs movement. Each tilt of the head makes a completely different kind of roar or snarle (the slippers make sound too!). But the animal sounds are extremely realistic which allows kids to really explore their imagination while wearing this interactive costume. ... Read more

Our favorite toy
My 2 year old son was first introduced to this toy at our Montessori class...he was hooked immediately!!!It was easy for him to figure out how to put the pieces together and attach the gears (he loved being able to do all of this himself as opposed to other gear toys where most of the building is already done for you) He sat and happily played with this fantastic toy for almost an hour before we had to leave.The learning possibilities of this toy are immmense as is the "fun value".With no "bells and whistles" this toy ranks very high on our list of toys due to the fact that our son has complete creative control...it's all up to him.All in all, it's a fantastic toy that we highly recomend.

Almost perfect...
My son received this toy for Christmas, and we gave one to our niece. The verdict is that it is almost, but not quite, perfect.

The toy is a set of interlocking squares of various colors that are perforated to hold a four-pronged hub that can support one of four sizes of gears. Everything is made of a durable plastic that has some flex to it. You can create systems of gears that spin around and even construct things like gearboxes. (The cover of the box--shown above--will give you a simple idea of what can be done.) There is a manual aimed at parents that helps them teach their child how gears work, too--a nice touch.

The quality of the toy is high: the colorful stickers for the gears are plastic coated, the injection-molded pieces are free from excess plastic, and the pieces fit together solidly. It's everything you would want from a European-made toy. (Quercetti, the manufacturer, is based in Italy and the toy is actually made there.)

It's a mesmerizing little toy and its variability is virtually endless. There are other kits in the Gear line that include such things as universal joints and 3-D parts, so it is highly expandable, even as your child ages.

My quibble? Our three year old niece adores the toy, but our three year old son only plays with it in fits. Truth be told, I play with it more than my son does. So as with anything, your mileage may vary.

It's nice that toys like this one are still being made. There's a lot of learning that can occur with it, too. Factor in the expandability and how can you go wrong?

Now if only I could get my son to join me more while I'm playing with it!

Bit tough for little hands to put together, but beautiful...
The base pieces of this toy are a bit stiff for my kids' little hands to put together. Also, the pegs that hold the gears onto the base are a bit tricky, but will build good fine motor skills if not discarded in frustration. I was just as entranced by this toy as they were as we played with it together for the first time. The brightly colored decals are trippy and fun. And learning that gears transfer energy they supply to move other gears of various sizes "on down the line" is... priceless. *grin* ... Read more

my little pony - my so soft pony!
Hey there, my name is Katie Jane, and I love my pony because she's cute and soft. I like that you can take the diaper on and off. If you feed her with her bottle (or your finger, they both work!) she gets the hiccups! Then she giggles and then yawns twice - if she yawns twice then she's asleep. When you press the heart on her hoof she giggles then I giggle and smile! I don't carry the carrier around my neck, I carry it like a purse, since I'm 11 it's weird when I do it! I got this pony on my birthday too, at my birthday party, everyone HAD to have a go at playing with her! I don't use the carrier THAT much, I carry her in my arms that way, I get a snuggle out of it! I love brushing and styling her mane and tail! Her hair is soft and silky feeling and never gets frizzy. I don't listen to what amazon says about the ages because as long as you still play with her it's alright! When I saw my sweet Petal Dove on tv I could tell I would love her and I do! My friends like to play what they show on tv when I'm not looking, one of my friends has Rose Blossom and my other friend has Pretty Powder. Petal Dove is a pony that everyone will love, and I love her sooo much! I sleep with her every night and I play with her almost every day. I hope when someone special gets this I hope she will love her as much as I do. Thanks for reading!

Hey there, my name is Katie Jane and I love my pony because she's sweet and soft and cute! When you feed her with her bottle (or your finger, they both work!) she gets the hiccups! Then she'll giggle and then yawn twice and that's how you turn her off. By making sure she yawns twice. If you press the little heart on her hoof she giggles (there's three different kinds of laughing!) and I giggle too! When she makes all of thes cute noises I think : Awww! You're so sweet! Now, it says here that this is for 3-7 years of play, but I think that they're wrong, I'm 11 and I still play with my baby! As long as your pony lover will play with her, it does'nt matter how old she is! I saw that there's a kid that says a tip for the carrier if you hold it in place for a minute it stays well, that does work!!!:) Of corse I DON'T WEAR IT around MY NECK - it's freaky when I do it! Although, I do carry it like a handbag but not too much, I carry my pony in my arms that way I get a snuggle out of it! I sleep with my pony every night and play with her almost every day! Since I am home - schooled I work @ my Mom's shop. I do bring my pony with me sometimes because she makes me happy. What I also like is that you can take her diaper on and off like you're changing her diaper. I don't really think it's that educational though, but she is alot of fun! Nothing brakes or falls off either. I love my baby Petal Dove soooooo much! So I hope if you get this pony for someone special, or, if that special someone saves up money for this darling baby pony, I hope she will love her like I do.

Cook up a storm (or a symphony) with this 11-sound electronickitchen center. Young chefs will enjoy preparing a gourmet extravaganzaat the stove and microwave console, complete with light-up burners andthree cooking sounds. When they turn on the faucet to clean up, they'llhear running water. And they can chat with their friends on the phone,which has four additional sounds and sits in a convenient stove-sidebracket when not in use. Altogether there are 15 accessories, includingcups, plates, knives and forks, and a frying pan. The main unit isapproximately 42 inches high, 38 inches wide, and 18 inches deep andhas several shelves and a removable cutting board. The screw-togetherconstruction requires adult assembly; four AA batteries (not included)are required for the lights and sound effects. Ah, the sound of onionssizzling in a frying pan--bon appétit! --RichardFarr ... Read more

Great price-great toy!
We purchased this for our daughter when she was 2- the other kitchen just seemed to have too many bells and whistles and cost more...kids can use their imagination with the gadgets! It also didn't take up alot of room like others did-it fits in corners nice too. The only problem we had with it was the phone on the side kept popping off- and eventually broke. The overall construction is good though- doesn't tip over as easily as others do. But overall-it was a nice kitchen for your money-

Excellent choice
We just bought this kitchen for our 2.5 year old for Christmas, and out of all the toys she received (including the Dora Talking House) this one she plays with the most.It took us a little time to put together, and I needed my husband's strength to push a few pieces into place, but once assembled it is very durable.
My only concern was the lack of a fridge, but she hasn't even noticed.I figure in the future if it really becomes a necessity, I can purchase a stand alone fridge like most of us have.
It is the perfect size for her and her friends to play at the same time, and will have many years of play ahead of it.The only drawback is that it does not come with too many cooking utensils and only one hot dog for food, so be prepared to buy a package of food and pots and pans to accompany, but since those items can be purchased for very little money, the kitchen is still a good choice and a good value for its size and durability.

Daughter loves it, plays with is more than anything else
My daughter loves this stove and has used it for everything from pretend cooking to washing her baby dolls. She enjoys it the most out of all her toys. Putting it together was a pain, but she has enjoyed it so much that we have forgotten all that. I just wish she would realize it's not real when she tries to pour her drinks down the sink. ...

Great Fun
We've had this toy for four months and it has been played with quite a bit by our two preschoolers! However, the knife broke within the first week of use. The kids found a plastic play knife to use instead and don't seem to mind.

my 20 month old son loves this toy
This set of little pieces of wooden food attached with velcro is endlessly interesting to my son, he plays with it at length and returns to it after other activities.We were somewhat concerned about the safety of hime using the wooden knife, but it seems blunt and curved enough to not be a danger.

it sounds real
I bought this cutting food box for my daughter 16 months she loves it.We were amazed at how it sounds like if you were cutting real food.Its good quality made out of wood and its great for the little one's kitchen. ... Read more

love it!
I love this toy! It's the best. I like the magnets and how the babies and toys stick to honey. It has a lot of small pieces though and the bone can get stuckinside honey, the dog. This toy is so fun, me and my friends want to collect them all!

fun, but not very sturdy
We purchased this toy for our 3 and 6 year old girls. Luckily they love it, but I hate all the tiny pieces and it really isn't very sturdy. Right after I opened it the string came off of the swing, and we hadn't even used it yet. Since then, we have had to re-tie it 3 times and believe me, that is no easy feat!!! I wish the scale of it was bigger and that it was sturdier.

love that toy
This was the best toy ever. I can't wait for the rest of them. ... Read more

way too small!!!
This toy looks good...but is so small! It should be bigger for the age range of 4 to 7 years.I am returning it.

great grill!!
While looking for play food to "supply" our grill and kitchen, I thought I should let all know that this grill is great!I purchased this grill last christmas, and I can't think of a day that went by my 4 1/2 and 2 year old hasn't served up some barbecue cooking.It has withstood the roughest of play and we store all our plates, teapot and bowls inside. We also have the other green grill with the eyes (forgot his name) I picked up at a yard sale and this grill far outways the other that is too short and talks in the middle of the night if the cat walks by.
It is a great, sturdy grill that has never had the batteries replaced yet.If you promote a lot of pretend play in your home, this grill is worth every penny!!!

Just Perfect!!
I really like this toy for my son.We got it for his 2nd birthday along with a "playhouse" and a box of play food and utensiles.I wanted to get something he could pretend to cook on but didn't want to spend the money on a little kitchen.This is a nice size and has great sound effects for the flame.I love the bottom cabinet...you can store any play food or plates you may have in there.I think its a great alternative to a play kitchen if you don't have the room for one. ...

Presto, change-o! Children can transform themselves intomagicians with this ultimate prestidigitator's prop. The velvety blacktop hat comes equipped with a secret interior compartment and a soft,plush white rabbit that hides easily inside. Aspiring magicians can showspectators a seemingly empty hat and then proudly pull the small rabbitout of the well-concealed pocket. Great looking and a cinch to maneuver,this hat will truly set the stage for a terrific magic act. --JaneSnyder ... Read more

If your kid's into this stuff, this is the thing to get
My kid loves this hat.It's soft and fully collapsible and has a velcro compartment for the bunny.It looks like something the Artful Dodger would wear when it's worn.Goes great with a Darth Vader cape.My kid made the white bunny disappear into the hat and totally confused our scottish terrier.To my dog, my kid is the Master Sorcerer.

It has to be said.
Magic is for losers.If you love your kids, redirect their energy to other hobbies.Some examples include: video games, sports, reading, arts and crafts, baking, or animal care.

Great toy!
My daughter received this magician's hat for her birthday, and has truly enjoyed performing magic tricks for all her friends, classmates, and visitors. She's really learned some showmanship with it, and even adults are at first amazed that her items seem to vanish from the hat. The hat itself is soft and well made. The bunny is a cute stuffed animal, but the best thing about the hat is that is works equally well with all smallish items. A great toy! ... Read more

We purchased a bunch of the Polly Pocket items and my 3yr old triplets are in love with them.My son won't put down this car, so I had to order another one for the girls to share!They loved that the dog has clothes too, and nothing else has kept their attention as long as these have.I recommend all the Polly Pocket toys.It helps them learn coordination too, because they learn how to put the clothes on, etc.It is also helping them use thier imagination and role playing.Awesome toys!I also sent one to my 4yr old niece who is also discovering the fun of Polly and her friends! ...

TOO MANY PIECES
MY LITTLE GIRL GOT THE LOVING FAMILY DOLL HOUSE FOR CHRISTMAS, ALONG WITH ALL THE FURNITURE.SHE LOVES TO PLAY WITH IT BUT WE WENT OUT AND BOUGHT ALL THE FURNITURE TO GO WITH IT, THAT IS NOT NECESSARY! MOST OF THE FURNITUREWILL NOT GO IN THE DOLL HOUSE. IT IS JUST TO MUCH. DO NOT BUY THE DINNING ROOM TABLE IT COMES WITH ONE AND THE BABYS ROOM COMES WITH A CRADLE.LIKE I SAID MY LITTLE GIRL LOVES ALL THE STUFF BUT IT WILL NOT ALL FIT IN THE HOUSE, IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY

Cute accessory for dollhouse
I think this is a very cute addition in the Loving Family dollhouse. The chair actually reclines (back goes back and footrest goes up). The floor lamp is really cute and we love the little dog. I love the fireplace too, makes for a cozy living room. I actually prefer this living room over the newer Deluxe Living room that interacts w/ the house. That one has a big TV that you can change the picture on once or twice. I've decided that's not what I want my daughter pretending....that the family sits and watches TV. She can watch TV in her own time, but while playing w/ this dollhouse I want her imagination souring :-)

Great Must Have Set
When we purchased this set for our four-year-old daughter, we weren't sure if she'd like it.She absolutely loved it.It taught her that one should never go to bed without first putting out the fire, and she loves the dog that came with the set.She's happy that she can keep her "Loving Family" warm in front of their ownfire. ...

very disappointing
Bought this for my 4 year old who takes ballet at a studio. The DVD was defective from the start, but from what we could make of it, the content wasn't worth keeping anyway. It seemed very hard to follow and was extremely cheap quality. I would have just kept it just for the ballet bar, but it didn't seem like it would hold up for long. We returned it and my daughter picked out a hula hoop instead! The concept is great and it's too bad there isn't something like it of better quality.

Disturbingly poor product.
My six year was completely freaked out by the low budget DVD. Bella is uninteligible british dancer.The accent makes her nearly impossible to understand as an adult, my daughter was twice as bewildered. The cheap production values on the DVD are incredibly bad. Almost sixties acid trippish. Local cable could do better.Save your money, chances are you can get introduction lessons in a studio cheaper in your area.I rated the durability a 2 only because it wasn't as cheap feeling as I thought it would be.

Wonderful TOY
Santa brought this for my 4 year old and my 3 year old is now in love with the video as well.They both love to dress up and dance with Bella and her friends.I must point out that I have seen some reviews where they are bashing the young lady who plays Bella, and you say she is talking too fast and her accent is too British to understand...well first of all they are from Australia not Brittain, and I find the kids harder to understand than Bella.My kids understand her fine and they follow along with the steps and are very proud when they do it the Bella Dancerella way.My 3 year old just loves to watch them dance and sing, I think the Healthy Foods dance and the Happy Swan are her favorites.I would recommend this to people who want their kids to learn dance, understanding, and patience.The songs are great and the video repeats several times each step to make sure you get it right without frustration.Bella and her Australian friends are just wonderful teachers. Bella, the two Teds, and her cheeky little friend Maxie the Monkey, along with the little ballerinas.

Finally, something healthy!!!!!
I have been on this site for almost an hour researching play food and a shopping cart for my little girl.We are getting this as her bday gift (no, we don't even own it yet!).However, looking through the play food sets really upset me.French fries, hot dogs, burgers, cookies....what kind of advertising is that to a child about what to eat?No ones perfect and I love my junk food, but come on really.Why does only one set (THIS ONE) actually offer something fresh and healthy.My daughter loves healthy food (I'm sure it will change)and I don't want her toys encouraging her otherwise...it's bad enough TV and other media push that on us.I was very perturbed w/ the other sets.I am going to purchase this set, I think that my only wish so far is that it included more of a variety of veggies and fruits.Hope that helps!

Very happy, even after one year.
We are very happy with this toy & it's been more than a year since we bought this for our daughter. It's good quality & the fruits & veges look almost too real. It's a good way for your toddler to learn & appreciate these healthy food choices! And it makes an excellent toy to have if your kid has those cute toy kitchens or shopping carts.

we have all!
all of us have seen a little child with fake fruit and one of those child sized shopping carts!. this is not the original fruit that came out in the early 1980's that was much nicer or the 80's repro fruit from the 90's but is a great runner up! trust me we all have also toched one of these fruits! usually the bannana or strawberrie! ...

Good for parents and kids
Jack in the Box is a great toy for older children or for parents and kids to do together.My 18 month old cannot turn the handle in the correct direction and gets easily frustrated that "Jack" doesn't pop out!But when we do it together or my older son does it with her she laughs and loves to play with this toy.

My Son's New Favorite Toy
My son LOVES this toy.He is 2 1/2 and it only took him a time or two to figure out how to get Jack back in the box by himself.He plays with it all the time, and never fails to get excited when Jack jumps out at him.You don't have to completely finish the song to get jack back in, you just have to make sure the song finishes the "pop" note.The music is a very traditional music box sound, and not annoying in the least.We suspected he would love a jack in the box, and had trouble finding one that worked well.This one is fantastic.

Love it and leave it
This is a great toy...for a small amount of time. After a minute or two my son gets bored of it because it only does one thing and only plays one tune. Not great for younger kids because jack is hard to get back into the box and I think the young ones will have a hard time (sometimes I have a hard time...lol). Not worth the money I spent on it, but still a fun toy...and a classic. ... Read more

Very Creative
I think that this toy is genius. It has everything Polly needs throughout the year, plus it includes a two year calender. The fashions are very well designed and this toy is loads of fun to play with...even for us older Polly fans. =)

Awesomley Fashionable
Well..I got this toy 2 weeks ago and it's still as fun as I first got it. The clothes are my favorites out of all of them. My main dolls, Courtney,Rachel,Brad,Ryan,Ashlee,Mary,and Julia wear them more than my other 25 dolls. Courtney,my fashion designer made them all. It would be cool if it came with purses and shoes for every outfit because I don't have many dainty shoes. I love polly's and this seems to me underpriced for it's funness, so buy it while you can! It's usually sold out at walmarts and targets. ... Read more

Ideal baby shower gift
As a purchaser of the Money Savvy Pig for the past several years I am delighted with the new larger size and the ease at which the money can be taken out when it comes time to transfer the money to the bank or to spend on the goal that the child determined.I buy several at a time to have on hand for baby showers. Most of the other guests want to buy one for their children too.I also used them for Christmas gifts for my neighbor girls who were saving money for their summer camp. I've even had teens ask where they can get one.The Money Savvy Pig is a great tool to share with children during Teach Children to Save Week (scheduled for April 26, 2005).

Time to Pig Out
What a great gift for kids!I have 4 boys ages 1-8.They all love their pigs.In addition to helping teach them about money management and budgeting, it makes it fun to save.With the plastic pigs, you can see the money in the pig.The kids love fattening up the pig.Also, this was unintentional, but my 1 year old did a pretty good job stress testing the pig.Let's just say the pig can withstand a 1 year old pounding him on a hard wood floor.The kids love putting stickers on the pig saying what they are saving up for as well.

A Great gift to kids - Cute and Functional!
I recently ordered two Money Savvy pigs for my two young nieces. Besides for being a good tool to teach the kids about the basic family finance, Money Savvy pigs will help them to develop some important values in life, such as appreciation and being responsible. ... Read more

fun toy for playdoh lovers
I bought this toy for my 3 year old daughter who loves playdoh and she loved it ...but the stand that connects to the oven always falls off so we just turn it upside down and play with it that way because there are cool shapes on the underside you can smash playdoh into. overall it is a good playdoh toy for playdoh lovers..

One Cool Toy!
I gave this Play-Doh set to my son today for his 4th birthday and he loves it!He spent close to 5 hours straight "cooking" and "making dinner" for my husband and I.It is a great toy and I highly recommend it for kids who like to spend time creating different "meals" and putting them together themselves.I think that it teaches to clean up when done or the play-doh dries out, to wash the dishes and it's just a lot of fun. ...

Educational and Fun - The Perfect Choice
My daughter is almost 3 years old and "Santa" gave her this present for Christmas.At first, she wasn't that interested, but when she came to me to pretend that one of her toys was "broken" (it wasn't really), I told her to get her tools.As an industrial craftsman, I explained (as best I could) what the purposes of the various tools were.After she pretended to fix her toy, I showed her how to change the bit on the cordless drill motor so that it could be used as a cordless screwdriver.Then, I showed her how the cordless screwdriver could be used on the plastic bolt and plastic nut.After a few minutes, she picked up the concept and was able to do it herself.The reversing switch on the drill is a nice touch that allows it to either drive the bolts into the nuts, or remove the bolts from the nuts.The box wrench comes in handy here as well.This is a fantastic product that I hope does not get permanently discontinued.

Loads of fun for your little builder
Even though this is recommended for ages 3+ because of the small parts, my son has had this since about 20 months. He LOVES playing with all the "power" tools and screwing things together. My only complaint is that these tools don't have enough "wood" and "screw" bits to make it fun to play with for more than 20-30 minutes. (Battat makes toy trucks and planes that screw together using similar tools.) Other than that, he gets a big kick out of helping Daddy and having his own set of tools. I would recommend this for girls as well as boys. ... Read more
