Which is hard to believe when there were so many hot electronic toys there too. This is great for pretend play for boys and girls. I think it is perfect for rainy date playdates especially!             Thomas & Friends: Thomas and the Toy Workshop (Full)5 reviews Thomas the Tank Engine Starz / Anchor Bay, 2007 Another great video This family can't seem to get enough of Thomas the Tank Engine. We love all the videos, and this one does not let us down. Definetly recommend it.             Uno Card Game42 reviews Mattel Mattel Classic Fun. Easy. This is a great game to play with friends/family of different ages and even those with language barriers.             Melissa and Doug See & Spell36 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 True learning fun My 2 1/2 year old loves this... "toy". I love that it comes with 8 different boards each with a front and back (so you get 16 spelling puzzles in all). My daughter even likes to simply sort the letters on the floor and tell me what each one is or what sound each makes. The possibilities are numerous.             Connect Four79 reviews Hasbro Hasbro A Good Classic Game My mother loved to play Connect Four with her grandchildren. It was a way for her to teach them from a young age to count four items; to sort two colors; to learn to look horizontally, vertically, and diagonally; and to win and lose politely. After she lost her ability to think fast and move her hands with dexterity, we could stimulate her by playing a game. We always had a good time with ...             SET Game164 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc. Great analytical game This is a very creative and fun new game. It is great for developing and recognizing strong analytical and problem solving skills. Product is high quality and seems durable.             Twister55 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Just a whole lot of laughs! This is a game that has been around for a lot of years that can get a good belly laugh from any age group young or old. This is a wonderful game to pull out on unsuspecting guests! Ha Ha HA!! It is even more hilarious to play after you have conned the reluctant player into participating. It is a great way for even the stiffest of the stiffs to learn to laugh at themselves in a healthy way that ...             Wild Planet Hyper Dash75 reviews Wild Planet Wild Planet, 2007 Great physical and memory building toy Simple enough and just like the title says, gives you exercise of mind and body with loads of fun!             ThinkFun Zingo69 reviews ThinkFun ThinkFun, 2006 Great Fun For Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 My WHOLE family LOVES this game...it is a lot of fun!!! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!             Blokus Classic283 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 Great game. Great game for many different ages! Educational and fun! Easy to learn the rules.             Martian Matter Alien Maker Playset - Spaceship17 reviews Hasbro Hasbro, 2007 Great toy - and great OT for hands! Two of my kids receive OT for their hands and fine motor skills. As they are getting older (4 and 7), it's hard get them to do some of the suggested activities. This is great. They play with it for over an hour at a stretch. The goo cleans up easily - I haven't had any problems with it. Highly recommended!             Thomas & Friends: Thomas and the Toy Workshop (Full)5 reviews Thomas the Tank Engine Starz / Anchor Bay, 2007 Another great video This family can't seem to get enough of Thomas the Tank Engine. We love all the videos, and this one does not let us down. Definetly recommend it.             Monopoly Disney Pixar Edition7 reviews Hasbro Hasbro, 2007 My kids' favorite new game We had just started introducing our 5 y/o son to Monopoly when we saw this. Since both my kids love Pixar, I decided to try it out. They love it! It's been the only game they independently drag out to play, or beg us to play, for the last 6 months. My son learned more about counting and money from playing this than he has in kindergarten, I think. The only downside is that a lot of play ...             lcr dice game101 reviews KOPLOW KOPLOW Love playing it with adults! This game is alot of fun. We play with pennies or nickels but it's great fun!             Chutes and Ladders49 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Kids Love It Well, Chutes and Ladders wasn't my favorite game as a child but I certainly enjoyed playing it. I have the "Dora Edition." She's a character I never heard of before purchasing it, but every kid I showed it to knew Dora the Explorer. Yes, I agree with another reviewer, the pieces are not very durable. Neither is the board for that matter but you get what you pay for and this happens to be one of ...             Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Box119 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 *** The Perfect Gift! Even School-Aged Kids like this one! *** Wonderful Learning Toy! I bought this for my son--yes, a BOY!--when he was about two years old, (along with a play kitchen set-up, etc.). I wanted him to explore toys that are traditionally considered 'girlie'--he had the 'boy' stuff already covered--he has tons of guns, action figures & military stuff since his big sister is a Marine! As for this toy--along with just about anything that's ...             Trouble Board Game73 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Love Getting Into Trouble! I purchased this game when Hasbro had the rebates and made it an irresistible 4 dollars (on amazon)! We have quite a collection of Family Games for Family Night. This game is easily played by all, including our 5 year old. I guess it could help kids with counting, but as it only goes to six, not too much. But, what it does teach is patience and persistence. There is a tiny bit of skill involved ...             Scrabble Crossword Game78 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Scrabble, One of the Best Games in Life Scrabble (Scrabble: Classic Edition) is an entertaining way both to stimulate young brains and to keep mature brains developing. This kind of play is beneficial. There is nothing wasteful about the time spent playing Scrabble. (Unless you are playing with someone who spends too long trying to think of a word.) There is some correction needed on the description of Scrabble. One is the age ...             Melissa & Doug Deluxe 24-Piece Princess Elise Magnetic Dress-Up13 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2007 Very fun, girly toy! My daughter is 3 and has had this toy for about 6 weeks. She plays with it almost every day and it is great for her to make believe with. We did have to get a different box for the pieces so they wouldn't fall out and get lost so easy. The box is very cute and is wooden so it would be really nice if it could be used as the permanent holder. This toy is a great value....very sturdy and better ...             Five Crowns98 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc., 2007 first time buyer Our friends introduced this game to us when we visited them out of state.
