It's fun for both my daughter and myself. It's a fun way for her to learn geography and learn a bit of state history. The fact it's a topographical map allows for the imagination to envision what each state may appear to look like. And seeing those quarters spread out on the map, and easily seeing what quarters we still need to find. Too bad it doesn't have slots ...             Blokus Classic286 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 I enjoy blokus! This game is great! I played it at a family reunion and I just had to get on myself. It is mind challenging and exciting! My family and I can play for hours.             Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100102 reviews Elenco Electronics Inc Elenco Electronics Inc, 2006 Never knew this could be so much fun! My son played with this at a children's learning museum once and has wanted one ever since. I was skeptical, but suggested it to his aunt for a birthday present. I am impressed at the huge variety of projects kids can do. He just opened it yesterday and he and his best friend have been playing with it for HOURS. Totally cool, very educational, encourages imagination and is just plain fun!!             MathShark29 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights great learning tool The math shark is a great way for my kids to practice their math facts. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division... any where. They also use it to check their homework. I even use the calculator mode.             Math Whiz23 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2006 My 5-year old loves it My 5-year old just started Kindergarten, but LOVES math (which they will only really cover a little of sometime this year). I bought this for him after his first day of school (he's "earned" a toy, and the one he planned on wasn't available). He choose this instead. He loves it. Its easy to use, even for one not too accustomed to computers, etc. He has had trouble with other electronic toys that ...             Blokus Trigon25 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 Great family game If your family likes to play board games, this one is great, even for 5 year olds. It has strategy, it is easy, and fun. I like it because even young children can play and win. My only suggestion is to count the pieces each time before you put the game away, and again before you play or someone may end up with a disadvantage. It is made by the same people who made Blokus which is also a great ...             Snap Circuits SC-30090 reviews Elenco Electronics Inc Elenco Electronics Inc, 2006 10 yr old and 8 yr old fighting over it! I bought this for my 8 year old son to get him interested more in education, logic and science. Little did I know my 10 year old daughter would want to play with this as well. Also, it's been a great for father/son/daughter bonding, as I can put the projects together with them. I don't write reviews often, but when I do, it's for a great product like this. My 8 year old was so happy with this toy ...             GeoSafari Talking Microscope18 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights fun microscope My five year old son received this for a Christmas gift. He loves it. He enjoys looking at the bugs and learning the facts. He even quizzed me and corrected me when I got the answer wrong! Fun toy overall.             Educational Insights Eggspert9 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights Students will love it!! I purchased the eggspert towards the end of the school year. It is great for any trivia game in any curriculum area. I recommend it for those high tough to call games. It provides order and less arguing over who was first. The cords are adequately long allowing for space between the players and teacher as well as good mobility/spacing. I also like that you can use its adapter or batteries. ...             Travel Blokus286 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2006 I enjoy blokus! This game is great! I played it at a family reunion and I just had to get on myself. It is mind challenging and exciting! My family and I can play for hours.             Design and Drill Activity Center7 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2006 My boys love it! My two and five-year-old boys love to play with this. My youngest just loves drilling in and out, but by oldest uses the pictures and makes designs. This toy is also very durable. This is a great toy for boys!             Snap Circuits PRO SC-50024 reviews Elenco Electronics Inc Elenco Electronics Inc, 2006 It's all he wants to do! I bought this as a 7th birthday gift for my son, who is the kind of kid who wants to know how everything works. It comes with the plastic board to build circuits on, many, many circuit pieces, and three books of projects. It's been almost a month, and he is using this, and I'm not exaggerating, 3 or more hours per day -- first thing in the morning, after school, before bed... he just loves it. ...             Bunny Hop3 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 GREAT game for family time! I spotted this game in a parenting magazine just before Christmas; it had won a coveted spot on their best toys of the year list. I'm always on the lookout for innovative games that our kids, ages 3 and 4, can play with us, so I decided to give Bunny Hop a try. I was not disappointed! The game is suited for 2-4 players. I was thrilled that my 3-year-old son could play independently, giving ...             Sea-Monkeys Ocean Zoo Blister15 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2006 Sea Monkeys Sea Monkeys are a great buy for kids or older people. I bought them for my mother who is 83 and unable to get up and move around. She has enjoyed looking at them grow; they are still living after moving around from the rehabilitation hospital, skilled care, and back home! It is definitely a good buy.             Sea-Monkeys Original Instant Life7 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2006 What's more fun than a barrel of sea monkeys? Sea monkeys can be great fun, but can also be a great deal of responsibility. When deciding whether to bring sea monkeys into your home, you must carefully weigh the pros and cons, and also do your research. As with any pet, the more you know, the more you can enjoy your new companions' company. The benefits of sea monkeys are plenty. You'll be amazed at the number of sea monkeys who hatch ...             Kanoodle9 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2006 Love It! I bought this for my 11 year old son.

Quite the value for ...             Rumis7 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 Simple, Flexible, and Lot's of Fun I saw this game on a list of top 10 games and thought I'd give it try. It turn out to be perfect for my family. The rules are simple and straight forward, but there are so many different strategies that the game really keeps everyone's interest. The game can be reconfigured, which leads to entirely different strategies. If you get bored for some reason, you make your own configuration (i.e., ...             Snap Circuits RC Rover7 reviews Elenco Electronics Inc Elenco Electronics Inc Rover Rocks --and so does the customer support We love this toy. My daughter has spent many hours assembling the various rover variations covered in the accompanying manual. I highly recommend it for the educational component alone; it is also fun. But the real reason I am writing this review is because one of our components just stopped working. I called the company. "Jerry" took my information and said he'd send it right out. When I pointed ...             Sea-Monkeys Executive Set18 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 Sea Monkeys at work? All signs point to YES! First of all, I take issue with the claim that this product is for 6-10 year olds. I am a middle-aged executive and have been continuously entertained by my little desktop pets for weeks now. What could be more fun than watching these playful little creatures swim to and fro in a magical underwater paradise fit for a working professional's office? That said, I do have a few things I have ...             Geo Vision Precision Optics Micro Pro 48-pc Microscope Set10 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 fun and easy, but with one problem We bought this for our 6-year-old daughter, and she enjoys using it. It is simple enough that she can do it herself. However, within the first hour, the bulb burned out. We replaced it with the spare bulb that came in the box, and that one burned out less than a month later (and we do not use the microscope very much at all, she maybe turns it on a couple of times a week and never for very ...              search for toys and games activity, blister, blokus, center, circuits, classic, commemorative, design, educational, eggspert, executive, geosafari, insights, instant, kanoodle, mathshark, microscope, monkeys, optics, original, precision, quarter, sc-100, sc-300, sc-500, sea-monkeys, talking, travel, trigon, vision toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
