My Grandson loves this toy!
I bought this for my 1 year old grandson and he just loves it! It's his favorite toy at Gammie's house. It's a high quality toy that he has loads of fun playing with. I like the fact that you can switch between english and spanish. Plus, I can switch it from just playing music to learning numbers, shapes and colors. It is a lot of toy for the money.LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table

My son loves it.
I got this Peacock for my son before he was born and he really didn't show interest until he was about 4 months old which increased with time. Now it's one of his favorites and I love to take it on short trips. He plays with it often. I love the vibrant colors.

Sturdy and Enjoyable
This set is great to use with my elementary school students in a small class. They are well made with decent sounds. I have previously purchased some of these items separately from other manufacturers which cost more with similar quality. My students like to use these especially for different sound effects during a puppet show or skit in class.

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.

Amazing to watch.
I bought this for my sons birthday, and it was such an experience. It was amazing to see the catipilers transitition to the cacoon to watching them emerge into a butterfly. The only down fall was the sadness my son felt when we had to let this beautiful creatures go.

Connect Four

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 ...

Birthday Cake Wooden Playset
We bought this for our daughter's 2nd birthday and it has been a big hit. Our children love to play 'birthday party' and taking turns being the birthday girl or host. This set is wooden and has velcro disks that hold the cake slices together and hold on the candles and decorations. Quality is typical for M&D toys - no surprise there! Overall a great toy - my kids even use the candy pieces as ...

great for everyone
This is a great game because my family is able to play pretty fairly together. Because there is not one correct answer, people who have different strengths are still able to play together. It's a great thinking game and is very fun.

Mozart magic cube fan
It would be difficult to overstate how very much I enjoy the Mozart Magic Cube, because I have by now given more than ten of them as baby gifts. Parents love them; babies love them - in great measure for the music, but also for the power the child has to select music, change it, and to shut it off. I am about to mail off the last one on the shelf, which means I will be ordering at least two ...

Just what I was looking for and daughter loves it
I was looking for some magnetic letters to put on the fridge and we received this as a gift for my 26 month old daughter. I love this thing. She is also learning the sounds. We have had it for about two months now and she now knows all of the letters and most of the sounds. She plays with it everyday several times a day. Most toys she gets tired of after a few days or hours but this one keeps her ...

Freddie is a great toy!
My 15 week old daughter loves Freddie! We currently have him hanging on the headrest of our backseat so she can look at him while she's in her carseat. We also take him in with us when we go into restaurants. The baby gets very excited -- after looking at him she finally gets to grab him and gnaw on him! She really likes the colorful plastic rings and the crinkly noises he makes. All the ...

Our kids love them!
These are fantastic for our two kids (ages 3 and 5). The games are very educational and fun, too. The kids love to play them. The Leapsters are very well made and travel well. Great for car and plane trips, and they have a headset jack for the times where you don't want to disturb the folks near by. I highly recommend these systems.

This kept my 3-yr. old grandson entertained for hours! They can do this on their own, and he couldn't wait to take it back to his home & show his little buddy. I highly recommend--fun for adults too!

Fun learning
My mother-in-law purchased this for our 2 1/2 year old for Christmas. He absolutely LOVES it. It's been almost a year later and he plays with it at least once a day. It has really helped him get to know his letters and sounds. He liked it so much, we purchased one for my newphew for his 3rd birthday. He likes it just as much and they play with their computers together on a regular basis. ...

Highly Fun and Educational
My son, who's 3 got this as a birthday presentfor his third birthday, and is one of his favorite toys. He takes (& asks for it) wherever we go. Not to mention it is a great learning tool for all sort of things. From phonics to making up your own musical song. Also the 'interactive' monkey is very cute. This one is bit better than the Fisher-Price Fun 2 Learn laptop. The screen on this is better ...

Ages 2-14 loving it!
We bought this for my youngest son's 2nd birthday - as the youngest of four boys, it's difficult to find toys we don't already have! But the sand & water table fit our needs perfectly - we needed NO MORE TOYS inside the house, we needed something durable, and we preferred something all of the boys could play with if they wanted (ages 14, 8, 8.5 and 2). After reading dozens and dozens of ...
