I bought this easel for our toddler, who is 20 months old and nearly 3 feet tall. She's drawing on it right now with crayons, and is absolutely in love with it! The lowest height setting is perfect for her; the footprint is about 2' by 2' when assembled, which was bigger than I thought it would be. It stands about 4.5 feet tall. Also, it takes about a half hour to put together, but once ...             LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game System - Green699 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog, 2006 Leapster Family When my daughter was four, my husband brought her home a Leapster for Christmas. It's the older, larger Leapster. She absolutely LOVED it. Then her younger brother kept borrowing, so we decided to buy him his own when HE turned four. Hubby came home with the L-Max for him. I have to be honest and say that we've never even once plugged it into the tv. He doesn't know it has that feature and ...             Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set25 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug Easel companion set- great value The best part about this set was the paint cups. It fits perfectly in the easel and they have lids so you don't have toss out the leftover paint. I've spent lots of money on getting some decent brushes and the ones from this set are durable and thick enough for good textures. It also helped that the handles had matching colors on them so they could remember which brush belongs in what cup so we ...             LEGO Star Wars Rebel Scout Speeder13 reviews LEGO LEGO, 2007 The Rebel Scout Speeder. Hi. Today I will be making a review of the new Lego set, the Rebel Scout speeder. I will rate it either *, **, ***, ****, or *****. Durability: **** The speeder itself is very durable! I dropped it from 5 feet and all of it held together, except the turret, which fell off. Also, the Rebel's helmets don't stay on well, but they're easy to put back on. Fun: ***** This a great set for ...             LeapFrog® Tag Reading System27 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog, 2008 Excellent Toy! We have owned a my first leappad, leappad, and a leapster and of all of these none have been played with as much as the Tag! My 3 year old loves it and her older brother of 6 steals it from her to "read" the books. So we will be getting another one very soon! But just so you know the Tag comes in pink also. My only option where I live was a green but thats ok. I would upgrade the memory thought, ...             LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game System - Pink118 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog, 2006 AWESOME!!!! We got two of these last year for our (then) six and four year old girl/boy. They LOVE them. It is one of the best toys we have EVER gotten them. I can not say enough good things about the Leapsters!!!! The only thing I would recommend is to get rechargeable batteries, the batteries do go quickly otherwise. The games are great though (my husband and I have played them after the kids went to ...             LEGO Star Wars Anakin's Fighter7 reviews LEGO LEGO, 2008 Great set, and affordable This is one of those lego sets that you would think costs $15 more than it actually does. It's a must have.             Fisher-Price Smart Cycle120 reviews Fisher Price Fisher Price, 2007 Still holds interest My two little boys (aged 4.5 and 6) love this toy. After a year, they still play with it. To me, that makes it well worth the money. Both boys know how to hook it up to the television and insert the games. It can be difficult for the little ones to know that they've fully inserted the game. My six year old has a form of autism and some sensory issues. He gets good sensory input from ...             Fisher-Price Fun-2-Learn Computer Cool School3 reviews Fisher Price Fisher Price, 2008 Great for kids under 3 too! I bought this when it was first released for my 2 1/2 year old. I hooked it up to my old Dell with Windows XP (this is not Mac compatible - and I converted to iMac in Dec). I bought the additional Dora & Diego software, and the Clifford software will be installed on her 3rd birthday in 10 days. She LOVES this thing! I LOVE THIS THING! It keeps her busy, and she easily mastered all the ...             LEGO Star Wars Imperial Dropship9 reviews LEGO LEGO, 2007 Loved By Lego Fan We purchased this for our 4 1/2 year old son who loves to build with Legos and is just starting to show an interest in Star Wars. With a little help, he was able to build the ship which made him very proud. He really likes the mini-Storm Troopers and has "introduced" them to our "regular" Lego people. He spends hours with Legos each week, constructing different scenes, building his own ships, ...             LeapFrog Clickstart My First Computer109 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog, 2007 Fun and educational preschool computer! I got this as a gift for my 4-year old son's birthday and he LOVES it. I've read other reviews complaining about the graphics which I think is silly. Of course the graphics look like the old Nintento--look at the console it's very similar. You want high quality graphics drop $300 bucks and get yourself a PS3. You want a gaming system that your kid will love and learn from buy the click start. ...             Cloud b Sleep Sheep - Four Soothing Sounds From Nature54 reviews Cloud b Cloud b, 2006 Works really well Allow me to just agree with those who love this. My infant son loves this. We sent one to day care when he started there and before you know it several other kids have one. The teachers love it - the sounds really help the kids get to sleep and it's a good toy for them to cuddle up too. It worked so well we bought a second one for home. It's been a big help for us at nap time (particularly ...             LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Kindergarten49 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog Leapster Kindergarten GREAT!!!!!! Years later and now on to 1st grade he still has a BALL with this one! Lots of fun!             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 ...             Fisher-Price Geotrax Rail and Road System Grand Central Station57 reviews Fisher Price Fisher Price, 2007 Kids love it I got this toy for my grandson for his 2nd birthday. He got many toys that day, but he kept playing with this one. My 10 and 12 year olds loved playing with it too. It is very durable. I have seen him step on many of the pieces, and it doesn't seem to phase them. It has been a month since I gave it to him and he still plays with it all day everyday. How much better can you get!             LEGO® Pink Brick Box11 reviews LEGO LEGO, 2008 Fun starter set that encourages creativity! The Lego Pink Brick Box is a delightful starter set for little ones who are graduating from the Duplo set. My 3.5 year old absolutely loves these as the bricks not only come in pink, her favorite color but also in other vibrant colors such as bold red, orange, yellow, green, navy blue etc. The set comes with a set of instructions on how to build a fun little cotttage [with different versions ...             LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game: Disney Princess25 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog Great for Princess fans! If your little girl loves the Disney Princesses, she will love this Leapster game. My 5 year old twins fight over who gets to use this cartridge in their Leapster. I see no problems with the graphics, and really like the game where they can trace letters of the alphabet. One of my girls has a lazy eye and problems with fine motor skills and it has been great for her! My other daughter ...             Fisher-Price Transportation System GeoAir High-Flyin' Airport5 reviews Fisher-Price Fisher-Price, 2008 Grandson Loves It! My 3 year old grandson loves the GeoAir addition to his GeoTrax, we bought him the bridge and barn expansion set and he is having a blast. The airplane is easy enough for my 1 year old granddaughter to run.             LEGO Star Wars Hail-Fire Droid & Spider Droids3 reviews LEGO LEGO, 2008 Lego Star Wars Hail-Fire Droid Great product affordable kids find it easy to put together the kids love it would buy more in the future             LEGO® Batman™ Batman's Buggy: Escape of Mr. Freeze3 reviews LEGO LEGO Fantastic set for my 4-year old I seriously considered this purchase for my son, who loves Batman but has the patience of a 4-year old. The age range on it says 5+, so I worried that it was too advanced. I was pleasantly surpised to find that he was able to do the majority of the construction, simply by looking at the printed booklet and following step-by-step. Not sure how educational that is, but I enjoyed watching him ...              search for toys and games airport, anakin, central, clickstart, companion, computer, construction, dropship, educational, fighter, fisher-price, fun-2-learn, geotrax, hail-fire, high-flyin, imperial, kindergarten, leapfrog, leapster, learning, melissa, princess, reading, school, soothing, sounds, speeder, standing, station, transportation toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
