Kids in my family age 8 to age 80 have enjoyed this, including me, the person who always has better things to do than play games. I have one and have bought 3 others as gifts.             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.             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.             Ben 10 Ultimate Omnitrix7 reviews Bandai Bandai Great Omnitrix, but could be improved upon The Ultimate Omnitrix is a great idea, but several things could be done better. First, they should sell a "Super Alien Pack" with all 10 clear figures and a spare set of batteries for the watch, as the watch has those annoying button cell batteries. Second, the Omnitrix I picked up had a little quirk in that the face was reluctant to stay completely down. Also, the clear figures are designed so ...             Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Stringing Beads with over 200 beads9 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Beads without aggravation The beads are just the right size for little hands, the box is great for storing the beads and string, and there is friction between the wood beads and the round-shoelace-type string so the beads stay on the string. This is a great toy. The box is less than an inch high so it is friendly to those of us with small homes. I bought this one for my nephew. When I told my kids, they protested ...             Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel195 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Best easel for the money My husband and I are big fans of pretty much everything Melissa and Doug for our son. This toy is to be a Christmas gift, but I actually saw it in use at a friend's home. She has had it for several children now and it looks just as good as it did. I feel confident that our son will enjoy it for years to come as well as his new sibling to share!             SORRY! Sliders Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2008 New updates make this classic game even more exciting in this aim, slide and score target game. In SORRY! Sliders, you'll have a blast sliding and bumping someone back to start. But watch out -- it won't be so enjoyable when it happens to you! Modular game board provides four ways to play. For 1 to 4 players.             Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake64 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Happy Birthday!!!!! I bought this birthdat cake for my two year old. She loves it. She decorates the cake and sings "happy..to you, happy..to you" all day. Great durabe toy. Creative and Fun.             Bakugan Battle Brawlers 6 pk10 reviews Spinmaster Spinmaster Excellent I bought this item for my five year old son and his friend. They both love it (as do a bunch of their friends!).             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!             Five Crowns100 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc. great card game We've been playing this game for years. It's a great equalizer for all ages to play together, We take it camping, to our cabin, to the beach. Fun for young and old.             Monopoly Disney Pixar Edition8 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 ...             Littlest Pet Shop - 10 Pack of Pets Asst 15 reviews Hasbro Hasbro, 2007 Cute Fun and Not Too Much Stuff This package of LPS is great, it's got a good selection of animals and not a ton of accessories that just get lost. It also has a vinyl zipper case that can be used as a carrier. It's also a good value for the money vs. the number of pets.             LEGO® Road Construction Set11 reviews LEGO LEGO, 2008 Great fun for the vehicle fanatic We bought this box for our son's fourth birthday. It was by far his favorite present. We haven't bothered trying to make any of the pre-designed models, although they look very cool. Instead, my son has enjoyed putting together miniature replicas of the cars he likes best. Of course, his designs are crude -- one long LEGO plank on elevated wheels he declared to be a monster truck -- but that's ...             Pictureka6 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2008 Great for all ages! This game is great for all ages! At first I thought, what happens later on when we all memorize the items on the board? Won't the game get boring? The answer is: The game offers 9 tiles of pictures. There are pictures on both sides so during your play, you may rotate, flip or switch tiles to keep us gussing where the item is. It is how the game doesn't get old. As we take turns, ...             The ELF on the SHELF includes Story Book29 reviews gozuble gozuble The Elf Is Coming to Our House Every Year! After hearing from friends and reading reviews how great this was, we bit the bullet and got it. I cannot say enough about how cute this was for our two boys (age 6 and 3). They bolted downstairs every morning to find the elf, and the oldest cried when he touched it accidentally because he thought it would lose its magic. The story and elf was the sweetest thing. Note, however, that parents ...             Ty Max & Ruby Set of Both Beanie Babies Max the Rabbit & Ruby the Rabbit31 reviews Ty Ty Perfect for little hands I got these Max & Ruby dolls for my 2 year daughter. They are perfect for little hands. She loves them!!             Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Box123 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 ...             Bakugan Battle Brawlers Battle Pack - 6 pack colors Red and Grey6 reviews Spin Master Spin Master 10th birthday for my grandson I got the Bakugan Battle Brawlers for my grandson's 10 birthday. I was blessed to be able to watch him open it on webcam. He said this was the best birthday present ever and I am now the most awsome-est grandma in the whole world. What I like about this particular product is that there are lots of things that go with this item. I can build him a good collection and know that whatever I buy won't ...             Melissa & Doug Underwater 48-Piece Floor Puzzle26 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Fantastic puzzle This puzzle is great! We bought it to frame and hang in our son't bedroom that we recently decorated in an ocean theme. We've enjoyed putting it together several times.
