"I ordered two of these to connect together because I figured one would be too small."
"Our basement floor is vinyl on top of concrete, it's a hard surface that we chose for durability more than comfort."
"At 18 months, he knew his ABCs and 1 through 10, and will always try to take the letters and numbers out from the tiles while playing."
"I'm happy we now have a large area he can use for when he plays with crumbly things like play-doh... is much easier to clean up than on the carpet!"
"I purchased these to use as sitting mats for the gymnastics classes that I teach. I was looking for a play mat that was simple so the kids wouldn't be distracted by it and this one is great because it doesn't have any letter or numbers that punch out like a lot of other mats do."
"The target one is the one with the shapes."
"I had received a alphabet mat as a gift for my daughter and I it was missing the edgers which mean that dust and dirt accumulated on the puzzle ends and it was supper difficult to clean so I bought these a couple of months ago to eliminate the problem."
Here little traffic police are needed; they can guide the balls with the magnetic rod into the parking lots that match by color, move the turning disk to regulate the traffic flow or block a street with the pushing block. The colorful balls are trying to find their way home to their matching garage - But they need your help navigating the city! This STEM toy helps to develop fine motor dexterity, visual spatial skills, counting and color-learning with one fun activity.

It's a shame because the whole puzzle is sturdy and well constructed, I'm not sure why they would have made the small, movable pieces inside so shoddy. After a couple uses though, I noticed tiny recess's in some of the house that coordinated with some colors of the balls."
"i like this item, but sometimes the balls stick together in a chain with the magnet stick and that makes it harder to get the right colored balls in the right places."
"My local Meijer had similar ones for $10, but I splurged, because I like Hape brand."
"Excellent for developing fine motor skills."
"magnetic pen could be a tad bit stronger but still works fine and i may put a little extension on the string, too."
"My kids love this magnetic maze game."
"My boys, ages 2 and 5, love this little maze."
"I bought this for my 3 year old son for church and it works great."

"There are three colors of varying sizes and quantities - red ones are the largest, then square blue ones (2 blues = 1 red), and small yellow ones (2 yellows = 1 blue and 4 yellow = 1 red)."
"The blocks do take up a lot of space, but they offer hours and hours of endless entertainment for our kids."
"I wish that the package came with more large red blocks and fewer small yellow blocks."
"My children are 3yr girl & 6yr old boy and these blocks entertain them for very long stretches."
"Great idea, helps the child with playing pretend and building imagination."
"Still very fun and worth the prize, just prepare to spend about 2-`30 minutes putting them together for play."
"Sharp edges.. And they crush solo easy."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I saw the issues about the wheels sliding on hard floors, being too light to support a child while standing up, going too fast and kids falling on their face... Wheels sliding on hard floors... False, there is a rubber seam on the rear wheels that prevents side to side motion. My 12 month old (recieved this for his birthday) uses the locked setting on the main floor where it's hard floor and the free spinning setting on the carpet."
"Let me also clear up any confusion on why my LO likes this walker - My LO likes this as a toy, loves the music and sounds. - There are two settings to control the speed of the walker (however, we have never used more than one which is the slowest - We have used this walker on hardwood floors - you might want to use the faster setting if using on carpet). - The musical unit will keep your LO entertained for hours! We have had a couple falls, not really bad ones, and while I understand that kids fall and hurt themselves, its not fun when your LO is attempting to stand with the walkers help and the walker slips and runs away. All in all, this was much better than the other walkers we tried. The other name brand walker we purchased was no where in comparison to this walker. Please note - pediatricians now recommend not using a walker, I feel if you are constantly watching over your LO this is probably the safest walker and the most fun walker out there - minus the differences in the older and the newer models."
"A few days later, still a little sad that I couldn't find anything else, a friend of mine posted a video of her kiddos (she has twins) playing with the same toy I wasn't buying!! If your baby is ready to start walking then this toy is absolutely wonderful but please know that if your baby cannot stand on their own, then they are not ready to be walking with this toy so just get it for them to press the buttons since it can be easily removed until they can stand and walk with it. That is what it is made for. I gave the educational value a four because while there are a million things on it that baby can learn from, they probably are not going to because they will be so busy wanting to push a million other buttons."

Lift the basket lid to hear sweet instrumental music and fun sound effects. Play and learn with a 14-piece picnic set that includes 6 food items, 2 plates, 2 forks, 2 cups, 1 blanket and 1 basket.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"We were skeptical at first because we felt that, although the price is reasonable, we still did not want to throw away $20 and she might not care for it or it may be a little mature for her. DESCRIPTION: Everything is made of hard plastic, except for the checked "blanket" which is like a handkerchief. The basket is packed pretty full with everything inside, but she can easily fit it all back in without help. She did not carry the entire basket around until recently (14 months) and still prefers not to, but she has always taken it off of her toyshelf and sat with it closeby in the floor. The plates are similar to wooden puzzles (only plastic), and she is learning to put the foods in place. I like that she will have to use her imagination and also I will not have to worry about the inside of the picnic basket getting sticky with juice and I am glad that ants will not be stored in there. So basically, it just randomly asks your child to find things, but she may never know if her answer was correct (or wrong!)."
"Shes having fun placing the items in and out of the basket, along with the fun music and talking the basket does while the child plays with it."
"My daughter and I go to a mommy and me class and every time she would gravitate to this toy."
"I have purchased this toy as a gift for other little ones, and they love it as much as my daughter loves hers."
"Didn't see that there were two different packaging."
"It's cool to see her put her items in it, carry it to anther location, and then pull them out to play."
"This picnic basket provides lots of fun and promotes conversation!"
"She loves opening and closing it, she loves the music it plays (and I love that I can turn it on/off up/down), and she loves putting the toys in her mouth (I love that they are large and safe for her to gum on all the time!"

"Considering how much this toy cost and how little decent t-shirt fabric costs, it would seem that they could make it out of a higher quality material. Luckily, I sew, so will likely use the shirt he's wearing now to make a nicer mama made shirt for him to wear."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Great Touch Activity Desk for learning all sorts of things. A few things to note: the child needs to learn not to lean on/touch the table other than when they are intentionally touching/interacting with it. The table is very sensitive - you don't push the buttons, you just touch it - so it goes all haywire when she's leaning on it. It might be nice if they gave a little border at the front so kids can lean on it/put their hands somewhere - and have the buttons further up. Older children can be taught to be careful - but my 2 year old wouldn't know until she got hurt. The stool and table are quite strong and sturdy due to the legs bending out - so it has a nice wide base. Personally, my 2 year old needs some more growing up and calming down before she can really take advantage of this product, but there's no doubt that she can learn a lot from it."
"So if you buy this watch the fingers when they pull the table back down to play."
"He had the original Touch and Learn Activity Desk which was one of his favorite toys; however, the new expansion packs only fit this new desk. The desk is very interactive and holds my toddler's attention for very long periods of time."
"Music Jammer with colorful keyboard and different musical instruments, plus music genres (jazz, hip-hop, rock, pop, R&B). 5. Fruits & Colors. Yes, there is an OFF button, Parents - but, unfortunately, it's easy enough for a child to turn it back on. There is a clear female voice that gives directions, sings, and in other ways interacts with the child."
"Touch pad seems a little dull, but with a kids toy maybe that’s better than being super sensitive?"
"He even eats there now because she can't convince him half the time to stop playing with it."
"We got this because my 3 year old is getting more curious about learning and thought he should get something other than dinos."
"However, after about an hour of play, it started catching on the letter “x”."
