I purchased this to supplement my 4-1/2 year old twins' interest in the states. They love the game, and are learning from it. It even tests my and my husband's knowledge, so we are all learning from it. It is colorful, well-made, clear, and has enough cards to ensure that we will be playing the game for quite some time.             Commemorative Quarter Map15 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2006 6 six year old LOVES it! This was a great purchase! 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 ...             State Series Quarters Collector Map (State Series)56 reviews Whitman Pub Llc, 2006 collecting quarters OH my goodness what a great product this is, my children and I have been using the Quarter Map since we purchased it. Homeschooling is an adventure in itself but this product combined Geography and History all in one spot. If anyone is thinking of collecting Quarters this product I would suggest to help you get started.             Scrambled States13 reviews Gamewright Gamewright, 2006 Thumbs Up This is the game my nine year old son brings out when it is game time as his favorite. I have to admit that I've never been really up on my geography, so this has helped all of us review the locations, capitals and nicknames of the fifty states. After playing it repeatedly, some of the "challenge" cards start to get repetitive, so I do wish there were more (or a booster pack) to help keep the ...             Great States Junior15 reviews International Playthings International Playthings, 2006 great for my 4.5 year old This was a Christmas gift and my 4.5 year old daughter loves it! Helps a lot with reading and geography (obviously). Also great for talking about places we have been and places where family lives. I would highly recommend it - she asks to play it almost every day since Christmas. Her big cousins loved playing it with her too.             Melissa & Doug USA Map 51-Piece Floor Puzzle19 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Excellent Puzzle We got this puzzle for our two year old who is great at puzzles. We thought she would not be able to do it, but to our suprise she can. She can do the puzzle better than I can. If I do not know where one of the states goes, I ask her and she will tell me. It is an excellent tool to teach kids. We live in Hawaii so it is important for her to know more about the rest of the world and this is a ...             John McCain Action Figure2 reviews Distributoys, Inc. Distributoys, Inc., 2008 More Buzz-y than John-y Awful likeness, closer to Buzz Aldrin than John McCain. If you are collecting political toys from the 2008 election year, try the John K. Limited Edition Set of 3 Political Toys, sold here at Amazon.             Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie: Extended Edition36 reviews Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, 2008 My little girl loves it Believe it or not, I actually watched this, 3-D glasses on, together with my 5 yr. old little girl on a lazy summer afternoon. There's, of course, a lot of music and, every now and then, we get to see what's going on backstage. We meet Miley's dad - a nice guy, her trainers, watch a bit of the rehearsal. Miley's even telling us the meaning of one of her songs, dedicated to her late grandfather. ...             Barack Obama 6" Action Figure7 reviews Distributoys, Inc. Distributoys, Inc. An item with obvious appeal. But as a caricature, it's a misfire. Confession: I bought this within a few minutes of learning of it's existence. I think that reaction is fairly typical. It's definitely one of those items with a certain guaranteed "pre-sold" audience. I knew what I was getting, and as it was an impulse buy for sure, I wilfully brushed aside the number one issue that exists with this toy. It's an issue which will probably grow on you -- or come ...             Radica Funkeys Dream State Specialty Starter Kit Mattel Mattel, 2008 Tap into the Dream State and have some FunKey fun!

The result was the SR-71. First deployed on March 9, 1968, this tri-sonic 'hotrod' flew its first operational sortie over North Vietnam just 12 days later. On that debut mission, the Blackbird overflew surface-to-air missile sites with ...             Esperanza Rising313 reviews Pam Munoz Ryan Blue Sky Press, 2002 Reads almost like a song I did not expect this book to amaze me as much as it did. Maybe it's the fact that this is based on the true story of the author's grandmother, but this book is written with such heart and love it will set you weeping. At the same time, it's beautiful, touching, and rich in inspiration and the human spirit. Esperanza is a girl who lives the life of a princess in Mexico. However, the fairy tale ...             Kira-Kira163 reviews Cynthia Kadohata Aladdin, 2006 Love it Like Crazy I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommended it to all my friends - they, too, loved it. The voice is awesome, the plot is serious enough to keep a reader concerned, and I also learned some things about the Japanese-American experience. Entertaining, interesting, and educational - not much more to ask for!             Scrambled States of America Game Card Game28 reviews Gamewright Gamewright Learning States and Capitals No Longer Boring! I've used this game to help teach the United State and the capital cities for several years now. I don't know of any better way to get kids to learn the states. It works better than rote memorization and drilling kids to death. It's also a lot of fun. The kids will want to play it all year long.             150 Piece Scrambled States of America Puzzle and Book Set5 reviews Ceaco Ceaco, 2007 Puzzle and Book are Fun Compliments of Each Other I first got this puzzle thinking it was just another "Learn the States" type of puzzle, which was just fine by me. When we opened up the box, my 5 year old son started asking why states had faces on them, so I started reading the "Scrambled States of America" booklet included with the puzzle. Afterwards, I looked on Amazon and this booklet was actually published as a full blown story with the ...             Puzzibilities L4 United States of America Map2 reviews Small World Toys Small World Toys, 2007 Tools for geniuses I was more than pleased with the puzzle map of the United States. As a child I can remember having one, and loving it. It was heavy-duty cardboard as I remember. Then when I grew up and had my own children I read an article that said there were several toys you should buy for your children if you want to raise geniuses, and one of them (not being a genius myself, I remember only one of them) ...             Lucky and Glub UB Funkeys Dream State Multiplayer Figure Set Radica Games Radica Games Multiplayer Funkeys are the exciting way to play games with your UB Funkeys friends.

The puzzle looks exactly like the real building and also glows in the dark. The best part is that it is 3D and stands around 2 1/2 feet tall. It took only about 3 hours to complete and it was fun putting the pieces together.             The Original Wizard Card Game12 reviews United States Games Systems United States Games Systems Great Game Wizard Deluxe Edition Card GameThis is a great game with no sure winners.
