Peaceable Kingdom Press Numberscolors Shapes Gift Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a fun book but has some flaws - it is really really small for the price. More important, as another reviewer noted the publisher / artist has not given much thought to colors and colored some animals way off. This makes the bk hard to use beyond a point. For instance, I can first teach my child numbers but then I want to move beyond and get good use of the book by using it to teach colors etc. and I can't because elephants are not green...

Princess Sleeping Beauty Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter (4 yr.) loves everything princess. This game incorporates princess theme while teaching the basics of counting, taking turns, and basic game playing etc. I was surprised with the materials it was made from at first (I don't know what I was expecting...maybe cardboard), but it was a nice, sturdy material (maybe tin).

Sleepy Princess and the Pea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sleepy Princess and the Pea is a beautiful game for children ages 3-12. It is made by Haba toys, a German toy manufacturer that makes games and toys using real materials like wood and fabric to produce top-quality products that will make any parent and every child happy.
Sleepy Princess is based on the classic fairy tale where a disheveled young girl shows up at a palace one rainy night and claims to be a princess. The queen tests her by putting her in a bed with dozens of mattresses, pillows and blankets beneath her and a tiny pea buried beneath them all. If she is a real princess, thinks the queen, she will be so delicate that she will feel the discomfort of the pea beneath the huge pile of bedding. Of course, the princess passes the test and is rewarded with the prince of the palace's hand in marriage.
This game is a relatively simple game, all the players have to do is stack the provided mattresses on top of the pea without allowing them to tumble. Children do not need to be able to read to play this game, but it will help them develop their fine motor skills and the cooperative version of the game does away with the winner/loser sensibility that so many American children's games have.
Children will find the charming concept and fun and colorful game pieces (including the adorable wooden princess doll) irresistable. This game is particularly enticing for children who are studying Waldorf or Montessori methods of education, where tactile learning is encouraged.

Is the princess really a princess? The players pile up cushions, blankets and mattresses for the "bed test". At the bottom of it all, of course, lies a pea! A wobbly pilling game with two variations, for 1 - 4 children. Includes the fairytale to read over and over again.

(More customer reviews)Great for teaching healthy food groups for children but not good to leave with preschool children to play with on their own as the pieces are a bit too small. Maybe not a great sugguestion for preschool children but I still love it because our kids listen really well. :) They love taking turns as a group and played great with me there assisting.

Small World Living Toys Peel 'N' Play Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wasn't too excited about these when I saw them in the box, but my daughter (just under 2 years) really enjoys playing with these. I imagine she'll like them when she's older too as she can't put all of them back together yet. They vary in how they go back together--some are just a basic "cut" in half, others have leaves on them and then smaller parts, and the pineapple (that would be in the fruit set, we have that too) even has a "core."

Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a gift from Grandma for our 18 month old. Our daughter figured out how to cut a few months later. It's perfect for age two and up. She loves to cut up all the fruits, veggies, and bread. It comes with two cutting boards and two knives so a friend can play along too. It keeps her entertained for a long time and, as others have mentioned, teaches her the names of a few fruits and veggies along the way. Everything comes in a nice wooden box with a slide-on lid, which is great for storing all the pieces and for the fun of "in and out" of the box. My only complaint is that the velcro stickers which hold the pieces together are not compeletly durable. I've reglued a few of them, which has been no big deal to do. Overall a great toy, well priced, and nicely made.

Melissa & Doug Sandwich Stacking Games Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We used this game at our Harvest Fest this year. The quality of the sandwich pieces held up to several hundred kids. I appreciated the booklet that came with the cards and durability of the sandwich pieces because it gave us a variety of options. The games can be played by one or several kids. It was a hit and will be used again next year. I'm glad that I ran into this at our local toy store!

Race to match the sandwich on the picture card in Fast Food or try to toss a sandwich filling onto a bread glove in Service on the Fly. Inspiring children to burn calories while improving memory and matching skills will put fun on the menu every time. Instructions include variations on many of the games to extend the fun.
