Highly entertaining and educational at the same time. My son (age 2) loves to "cut" and loves fruit, so this product was a natural choice. He has had it for more than a month and still pulls it out to play daily. I also like that it's more durable than lots of play food so our dog can't chew it up. I plan to get more Melissa and Doug food for him in the future!             Volcano Making Kit4 reviews Toysmith Toysmith, 2006 Great fun and easy to assemble This was fun to assemble and quick too. My 5 year old son enjoyed the experience and wanted to take it to school to share with his environmental club. I like the fact that you can use the model over and over again. Well worth the price. Denise Kingston, Jamaica             Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Cube73 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug Educational toy. I have a 13 month old who currently uses this as a Put and Take Toy - take shapes out and put them in - with the lid off. She is already trying to put a few of the shapes in the proper holes. It is a great toy for stacking a bit, learning colors, shapes, and placement. Lid comes off very easy, which makes it perfect for my baby's age. When she is older I may put velcro on the lid to keep it ...             Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Box116 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Fun Food My granddaughter loved it and so did the adults. The only problem was a mis-shipment which delayed its arrival a few days. It's very educational as well as indestructible. It even sounds like you are cutting food because the wooden knife slices through velcro. Very cleaver.             Melissa and Doug Food Groups21 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Lasts and lasts The nice thing about Melissa and Doug wooden toys is that they will last through many children, light and hard play and will be enjoyed for a long time. My set is about 5 years old. It has been through 2 kids and is now currently getting a good beating from an overzealous 19 month old. He bangs them and tosses them and uses the food to bowl with. We play identify the food, we serve each ...             Jack-In-The-Box59 reviews Schylling Schylling, 2006 Good, old fashioned fun Kids of all ages love this toy! Should be supervised for toddlers and younger. For babies and toddlers, it teaches patience, fine motor skills, listening skills, sharing, following directions. It brings a smile every time. One 4-yr-old student loved mine so much that he saved his money and bought one of his own. This one was a great price. Just don't drop it - I broke my first one that way.             Superfly Slingshot Flingshot Flying Screaming Monkey38 reviews PWestMinster PWestMinster Fling some fun I couldn't resist picking up a couple of these when I saw them late last year. I took one to a work Christmas party for white elephant exchange. I'm glad we ate dinner first. It changed hands several times and was flying all over the room. It is pretty durable, I don't think I would taunt a pet with it though, pretty sure they would eat it.             Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake52 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Lots of Fun! This was a Christmas gift for my grand daughter. It is a very sturdy toy, and my grand daughter never gets tired of serving up her dolls and me some birthday cake. Every day is a different doll's birthday. Lots of fun for a 2-3 year old! The Velcro is great and really holds well, so a child can change the embellishments for the cake often, and it does not wear out!             Schylling Sock Monkey4 reviews Schylling Schylling, 2008 Sock Monkey Fun I purchased the sock monkey for my husband after watching Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. We fell in love with the character instantly. I could have purchased the official sock monkey from the movie for 60 dollars more, but I like to save. The only difference between this monkey and the one from the movie is a small monogrmed heart on his chest. My husband loves the sock monkey I purchased ...             Silly Circus Jack in the Box3 reviews Schylling Schylling, 2007 Good fun! Our 2 and 4 year olds love this toy so much that they even sleep with it!! Easy to use and very colorful and no batteries required--just good fun using a child's imagination!             Giant Ant Farm40 reviews Uncle Milton Ind. Inc. Uncle Milton Ind. Inc. The Sand Version is Better Than the Gel My six year old son got the gel version of this for his birthday. When our ants to arrived (after waiting a couple of months) I reopened the original box to pull out the farm only to find the gel inside the farm molding. Yuck! All the ants died quickly too. I called the Uncle Milton customer service number. They were great! The farm was a gift so I didn't have a receipt and didn't know where ...             Bullshit Button4 reviews GEMY GEMY BS button tells it like it is! I love it! The first time that I saw the BS button was when a co-worker brought one in that he bought locally. Another co-worker of mine found the BS button on Amazon; I immediately ordered two. The one that I intended to keep for myself is now a fixture in one of my hangouts and gets heavy use and my significant other has the other one, which has also seen heavy use. I heartily recommend the ...             Jane Austen6 reviews Accoutrements Accoutrements A Whimsical Delight This was a gift for a friend who is a big Jane Austen fan. It was a big fun hit!! I found the doll to be beautifully made with charming detail. I think I'll get another!!! Actually, don't tell anyone, but right now she's sitting by a figure of Mozart and I'm not sure they're not up to something when we go home at night.             Schylling Rubber Piggy Bank9 reviews Schylling Schylling, 2008 Great Piggy Bank My oldest child is learning about money, and likes the bank. My youngest likes the sound it makes when she throws it down the stairs. So far, it's still in great condition.             Crazy Cluck Wacky Chicken8 reviews Westminister Inc Westminister Inc, 2006 Adult toy, using "adult" the way it was originally intended This is one of the funniest gadgets that was ever dreamed up. I can't imagine wasting it on a child. I have purchased three, the second two because I couldn't bear to part with the first one I ordered. If someone can keep a straight face after hearing what happens when they "choke" this chicken, they're ready for the pine box.             Dr. Freud's Therapy Ball Sigmund Magic 8 Psychotherapy1 review Accoutrements Accoutrements Give it to your therapist This is a great gag gift for a therapist or psych student. It works like the Mattel Magic 8 Ball. You make a therapy statement or ask a therapy question, like "I'm so mad at my boss I want to quit. What should I do, Dr. Freud?" Then shake the ball, and Dr. Freud comes up with one of six "helpful" therapeutic response. Hilarious!             SOCK MONKEY JACK IN THE BOX1 review Schylling Schylling, 2008 Sock Monkey Jack-in-the-Box This Sock Monkey Jack-in-the-Box was purchased for a baby shower gift, and it was the "Hit" of the shower. Everyone wanted to play with it as it was passed around the circle, and it was fun to see a these grown women smile, reminisce, and chuckle together as the monkey popped up to the tune of "Pop goes the weasel!" I work with the expectant mom and she is decorating her (Boy) baby's room ...             Weazel Ball - The Weasel rolls with ball9 reviews Weazel Ball Weazel Ball Weazel ball My cats loved this toy! It works better on tile floors, but makes alot of noise. I use it on the carpet where it is almost silent, and the cats love to stalk it! Just be sure to keep a fresh battery in or it has a tougher time rolling.             Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure8 reviews Accoutrements Accoutrements, 0000 Makes me wanna PUURRRRR!!!! Hey this Action Toy is awesome!! Just keep the little pieces away from your pets and small children. The lady is perfect (well, not all cat people are Ladies-- where's the Cat Guy??? eh?) and the cats are their usual adorable selves. I like the witty sayings on the back of the blister pack too!! This is a keeper!! No one's gonna get to play with my set!!! LOL!!             DRINKING BIRD8 reviews American Science & Surplus American Science & Surplus Drinking Bird I watched the bird for housrs. It in on my desk above my computer.
