Now, this is what I can say from my own perspective: we have 2 pre-tween boys, one 5 yr. old girl, 2 dogs and about a dozen kids living in the neighborhood and showing up just about every day in the summer for the pool and the trampoline. ...             ThinkFun Zingo70 reviews ThinkFun ThinkFun, 2006 Bingo with a Zing! My son loves this game! We got it when he was 3 after playing at a friends house. He is for now and still loves it. We plan to purchase the one with super heroes for Christmas.             Blokus Classic288 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 very good for whole family the toy is full of fun, very good for the whole family to play.even adult could find it interesting and attractive to play.             Live Butterfly Garden202 reviews Insect Lore Insect Lore Great family learning fun I think I enjoyed this as much as my kids (3 1/2 and 6 1/2 years old) did! It was easy to send off for the catepillars and they came with their own food, so they were no trouble. We all had fun watching them grow - quickly!! - though we missed them emerging into butterflies. All 5 of ours became butterflies and we released them outside. The process didn't seem to take quite as long as we ...             Leapfrog Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder136 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog Our Cat Loves It This toy is great fun for the WHOLE family. Neville, our cat, always comes running when we start playing with it. He loves to push against it and make it play the sounds. My only complaint is that it makes the wrong sound for R. It says that R says /er/ but R actually makes the sound /r/. It's really difficult to say without a vowel, but you must or kids will it up pronouncing the word row, erow. ...             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!!             Quiddler162 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc., 2007 What has eight letters and spells FUN? This card game is addictive! I learned it quickly during a group camping trip, vowing to buy my own deck upon my return. I've since bought several more decks and have taught it to my family and friends (young and old). They're all as hooked on it as I am. It's a word game, but since the words formed are usually no more than 3-6 letters long, it's accessible to a wide range of spelling ...             SET Game166 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc. Set Card Game We first played this game with a group of seven, it took a few rounds to memorize all the rules, but we had a blast by the end. We also played with two people and it was also fun. You have to think and watch quickly!             Learning Resources Teaching Cash Register80 reviews Learning Resources Learning Resources Active Play & Learning This cash register has been great. It was originally a gift my daughter received but my 4 year old son uses it constantly. They play 'restaurant' and 'store' for hours, taking each others orders and asking, "is there anything I can help you with?" It is awesome, we all get to have fun with their pretend store. (I'm really glad I didn't eat all the stuff I have ordered from them over the ...             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 ...             Sequence Game89 reviews Jax Ltd Inc Jax Ltd Inc, 2006 Classic - great for 2 players This is a classic simple strategy game - it's one of the more simple board games available for 2 players that can still present an interesting challenge without having to struggle too much to understand the rules. Larger groups of players also work well, but I've found it's hard to find good games that are just as fun with 2 people as they are with more. Sequence happens to be a game that is ...             Blue PlasmaCar24 reviews PlasmaCar PlasmaCar, 2007 grandchildren love it I have bought two of the plasma cars and my grandchildren from 2-8 love it. Also had to try and keep the adults off, as this will support quite a bit of weight, and they were having a great time. Was purchased for the two year olds birthday, it was amazing at how well they could operate the car. This car will go backwards as well as it goes forwards. I only wish a larger version was made for ...             Apples to Apples Party Box Edition140 reviews Vintage Sports Cards, Inc. Vintage Sports Cards, Inc., 2007 What a Blast Everytime we play this game we have a good time. Apples to Apples is a game of silly comparisons. It is similiarly played like Whonu. The judge flips the green card and you have a little mitful of red apple cards. You have to determine which red apple card is the most similiar to the green apple card. Which card fits best. The judge decides. SO the jusge can pick you because your card is ...             Uncle Milton Moon in My Room33 reviews Uncle Milton Uncle Milton Fantastic!! The moon itself is truly fantastic. It is realistic looking as well as functions quite well. We purchased the moon for our son for his 6th birthday, upon opening and installing it, the remote didn't quite have the range that it stated in the advertisement. I called the company and they shipped me a new remote - which works beautifully. My son loves the moon and uses it every night. A perfect ...             Carcassonne Game64 reviews Dropship Solutions Dropship Solutions, 2001 Very good game This is one of the best games I own, certainly in the top three (among dozens). You build the "board" by players drawing tiles and placing them (according to simple rules) next to tiles that have already been played. It is an easy game to learn, but allows for a lot of long-term development in thinking up new stragegies for winning. The only thing that could get fuzzy was where the extent ...             Bananagrams Deluxe Set w/100 Best Anagrams Listings3 reviews Bananagram Bananagram Bananagrams with Anagrams The Bananagrams game is incredibly addictive and is a very educational medium for kids 7 years or older. A lot of fun! In hindsight, I would not have spent the extra $1.00 for the photocopied paper of "100 best anagrams".             Rio Grande Games Puerto Rico28 reviews Rio Grande Rio Grande, 2007 Better than Catan! We took it out of the box 3 times before we actually played through an entire game. You really have to rely on the game guide to make any sense of the game at all. However, once you get a feel for the game, it is amazing! There are so many different layers of strategy, and no two games are the same. We love this more that Catan/Cities & Knights now. Awesome!             Bob the Builder - Deluxe Talking Tool Belt Set15 reviews Learning Curve Learning Curve, 2006 Learning Curve Bob the Builder Deluxe Talking Tool Belt Set My grand son just loves it! He spends all day pretending to build just like his Daddy. He's a natural builder!             Green Toys Tea Set6 reviews Green Toys Green Toys, 2008 Finally, an awesome tea set that inspires imagination! I have been on a mission to find the best tea set for my daughter. Well, this it! Fantastic quality, it is made from recycled milk jugs, the plastic is nice and thick. A bonus is that it meets FDA regulations so you can actually drink from the set without worrying about absorbing some crazy chemicals. The lids on the teapot and sugar jar are great because they are interchangeable, they stay on ...             Jr. Astronaut Suit with Embroidered Cap, size 4/6 (white)8 reviews Aeromax Aeromax, 2006 The best costume ever! The Jr. Astronaut Suit with Embroidered Cap, size 4/6 (white) was a big hit with my budding astronaut - he couldn't wait for Halloween this year - and actually wore it without complaint for all of our events. It is better made than a lot of the costumes I have seen. We were very pleased. I would note that my son is a size 4/5 - and this fit him perfectly. There wasn't a lot of room to ...              search for toys and games anagrams, apples, astronaut, bananagrams, blokus, builder, butterfly, carcassonne, circuits, classic, edition, embroidered, fridge, garden, grande, leapfrog, learning, listings, magnetic, milton, planet, plasmacar, puerto, quiddler, register, resources, sequence, talking, teaching, thinkfun toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
