Little Garden - Pegging Game Review

Little Garden - Pegging Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Haba Junior Peg Board at the same time for [...]. I was surprised when they both arrived and were pretty much the same size. The Junior Peg Board was listed for ages 1 1/2 at the time I purchased it, but I still don't let my just turned two year old child play with it unsupervised. It has since been changed to 2 1/2.
As far as the little flower garden, here's my opinion:
Pros:Cute
Cons: Way too expensive for what you get. They should have made it a bit larger. Half the pieces to this toy are choking hazards. I bagged that half up and figure my child can use them when three or older. The holes are small enough on the pieces that they can get stuck easily on little fingers. I keep this toy out of reach and only bring it down for supervised play.
Basically, if your two year old explores by putting things in their mouth occasionally or puts their fingers in holes, this is not the toy for you. It's a toy that I look at and want to kick myself for spending the money on.

Grasshopper in Zahlenland Review

Grasshopper in Zahlenland
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This game is just a set of round mats numbered 1 - 20, each with the correct amount of grasshoppers on it as an aid for children who are a bit shaky with number recognition.
You lay them out on the ground (I suppose you could make a hopscotch if you like) in random order (though nothing is stopping you from using them as a numberline) and there's a list of games for the tiles included - such as having one child jump on two different numbers and a second child jump on the sum (and then make a new problem for a third child, and so on). Obviously, you could make up your own games with these as well, and are not restricted to what they list.
You could get a similar effect by writing numbers on paper and taping them to the floor for each game, but let me say that this seldom works as well as you think.
Edit: By the way, just to clarify - the picture shown is NOT the item in question.
Edit again: LOL, a short time after writing my edit, the picture was fixed. I was helpful! If the image shows children jumping around on numbered pads, it's the correct picture.

Usa Opoly Donkey Kong Jenga Review

The idea is great. However, the blocks are painted, which creates two problems: 1) the plastic Mario pieces don't fit in the holes as they should because the holes are too tight, and 2) the blocks are very wobbly because they are not level like the classic Jenga blocks.
Avoid this one and buy the original. Very disappointed.

Bandu the Stacking Game That's Never the Same Review

Bandu the Stacking Game That's Never the Same
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like Janga, but play it to offen. well Bandu is a more creative game, and not only did I enjoy it, but I have yet to meat a person who didn't have fun playing or watching the game. thats right durning the course of a game, you may get a crowd around your "tower" to see how imposibly cool it looks. the game is great for both adults and childern as most people like to test their own abilitys/skils/ or compete with oneanother.
heres the run down
players build indivual personized towers and try to prevent them from falling. the object isnt to build a cool tower its to have the last tower standing.
peices are solid wood, and are odd shaped so as to make building a tower hard,
ie. there are egg shaped peices, cones, circles, rods, bricks, ect...
first player starts by chossing a peice and deciding if he wants to bid to "get" the peice of if he wants to bid to "not get" the peice.
the person to the right of that player than bids accordnly
ie. bids 1/ to take peice. (want bid)/ bids 1 to pass peice (dont want bid)
bids are made with plasic beans, and each player has a limted numer of beans. so not only is balance required but stratagy plays a high roll in the game.
as the game goes on toweres eventuly become unstable and fall, fallen peices get put into the game piece selection area again and more ppl get knocked out.
the game is highly suspensful, and addicting.
2-6 players.

Can you Bandu? Just start with a wooden base block and five bidding beans. Then build a tower on your base by using your beans to bid for choice pieces, or to refuse unwanted ones. Careful now, strategy's the clue! Some pieces have angles. Others have points, curves or holes. Which ones are right for you? Watch out! One wrong piece and CRASH, you're through. But if you're the player with the last tower standing, you win!Contents:54 Hardwood Pieces30 Bidding BeansInstructions

Villa Paletti Review

I ordered this (actually cheaper at Drugstore.com!) for my preteen and teen children to play. There wasn't much interest on Christmas morning between all the other gifts, but once the novelty wore off from all the high tech gifts a few days later, I challenged the kids to a game. It's a lot of fun and is different because you can't really sit around a table to play. Everybody is up on their feet looking at the tower from all angles to move their column. I was the loser 3 times in a row, and I didn't do it intentionally like a parent would for younger children! It was a lot of fun, and for parents with younger children it would be pretty educational to teach balance and physics principals. Guess I had better get a grasp on them myself!

Mama mia, thats a crazy villa! This colorful, wooden game makes Jenga look like a walk in the park! Players must have a keen eye and a steady hand to keep building and balancing the structure. But watch out, one wrong move and it could all come tumbling down! Winner of the Game of the Year Award in Germany, this is a fun-filled challenge the whole family can enjoy. Made with high-quality playing pieces, this game comes with a Game Platform, 20 Wood Columns, 5 Flat Wood Platforms, 1 Die, 1 Hook, and Game Instructions. For 2 - 4 Players. --ages 6+--

Jenga Game Review

Jenga Game

Not only is this toy extremely durable (how can you really break those small blocks of wood?), it's incredibly flexible as a toy. My brother at twelve (and I at 21) played this game for hours. When I went back to my computer/book/sleep, he'd stay occupied with the game -- playing it alone, stacking and re-stacking the blocks, creating houses and encampments as if the pieces were designed as building blocks.
As an adult, I don't enjoy card games or board games much, but I still appreciate having this game around the house. It's a game you can play with just about anyone, and although it does take some concentration when you're the one pulling out that precarious block, you can still converse and cavort while playing (as long as you've got the game on a stable surface!).
Jenga also helps teach hand-eye coordination, precision, patience, forethought ("what will happen if I pull out this block?"), and just a bit of physics -- some of the blocks are rougher, some are smoother, so friction comes into play.
I highly recommend this game to everyone, regardless of age!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS ITEM CANNOT SHIP VIA 3-DAY DELIVERY.Step One: Take wooden block from the tower and place it (gently) on top. Hold breath and wait. Step two: Take turns repeating step one until tower wiggles, wobbles, and finally comes crashing down. The last one to put a block on without making it fall is the winner. Genuine hardwood blocks. Ages 6 - Adult.
