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.

Haba Come with Us - Prepositions Review

Haba Come with Us - Prepositions
Average Reviews:

I really like the idea of this book. However, it could be improved on. The text should be a little simpler with the text clearly emphasizing the preposition. Also, sometimes when you put the magnet on the page, it will stick to the correct place, but if you move the monkey a little it will also stick to an incorrect place. Overall, Not something I would recommend.

HABA's children's books are fun and educational!
Where is the hidden treasure? The children search for the treasure with the help of Pirate Joe and the magnetic monkey, Jack. When Jack sticks to the page, the children know they have found the spot described by Pirate Joe.

Children learn prepositions such as between, next to, behind, and more. A task is to be completed on every page. Place the magnetic wooden figure on the correct picture. The figure will stick only to the correct spot on the page. Ages 2.5 years and up.

Pressman Blockhead Review

Pressman Blockhead
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My son went to Grandma's for a week during summer break. He comes home and says she has the best toys for everyone to play. Can we get some like hers? He fell in love with blockhead because it is actually harder than it looks. The colors are cool and he can't break it because it is NOT cheap plastic. Good things to consider when your son is 8. The idea is to balance the blocks in such a way that your opponent has more difficulty stacking their blocks. Takes manual control and thinking ahead to win. Good skill building.

Never mind the Tower of Babel or the Leaning Tower of Pisa when playing Blockhead!, you may end up Babel-ing every time you place one Pisa the game atop another. Each of the 20 brightly painted wooden pieces is oddly shaped, posing a challenge to any players (or player; it's a great solitaire game too) trying to stack them. Making the stack tumble twice is cool, but spill it a third time, blockhead, and you're out, leaving you to a-spire to new heights the next game.For 1 or more players, ages 6 and up.Contents:20 brightly colored wooden blocks, wood base and rules.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Jumbo Cardboard Blocks Review

I bought this for my daughter's fourth birthday because I remembered similar big red blocks from my own kindergarten years. It has been her favorite present. She has built towers, beds for her stuffed animals, hurdles, set up a restaurant table and chairs for her dolls, and more. It's a classic toy, great for creative play.
I do wish it had more of the big red blocks; the vast majority are the small yellow ones. And you do have to assemble the blocks, which is not too difficult if you have two people to do it. It really takes more than two hands.

This 40-piece set takes the blah out of blocks, especially for kids who create best with lots of pieces, lots of color, and lots of space. A staple item in many preschools, this set can spark endless imaginative play as children build large, life-size structures. Kids will find plenty of ways to construct forts, bridges, walls, chairs, and more with the easy to assemble pieces. Three different size blocks offer a strong building foundation as well as a starting point for kids to conceptualize math (one large red block is the same size as two medium blue blocks or four small yellow blocks, adding blocks, counting blocks, etc.). The blocks also help develop large motor skills and teamwork.

Made from heavy grade cardboard, these blocks are lightweight enough for small architects to lift and connect, but strong enough to support those same builders standing or sitting on them. Kids with a knack for construction and creative play will be enraptured by these bright red, yellow, and blue blocks for hours. The 40-piece set is made up of eight large red blocks (12" x 6" x 3"), eight medium blue blocks (6" x 6" x 3"), and 24 small yellow blocks (6" x 3" x 3").
