Fisher-Price Smart Cycle

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Learning and Education
from: Fisher Price

May 01, 2007
I bought this for my two grandsons, ages 4 & 6, for Christmas last year. The concept is a great one but needs electrical hookup. But for me the deal breaker was that it really needs to be made more durable. It didn't last but two weeks and fell apart. They did not mind repeating the games which helped to build their confidence as they mastered more and more. But it would have been nice if they could of had their own names and scores like a lot of the other software has that's out there. Like I said ... GREAT CONCEPT but lacking in durability.

Fisher-Price Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage

This is the best purchase I have made this year! My 6mo. old will sit in front of this thing forever and just hit buttons and giggle with every sound it makes. She loves the mirror as well. She tries to touch the "other baby" all the time. On the other hand my three yr. old uses it as a dance studio. She grabs the mic and runs around dancing to the music and singing like a little superstar. This is a must have!

Vtech - Tote 'N Go Laptop Plus

This laptop was almost what I was looking for. My two and a half year old sits and plays with it and actually gets some of the answers correct...I'm amazed! I was hoping the keyboard was like a normal laptop because I'd rather her know where the typing keys are as opposed to A-Z. I also wish there was a function on the laptop to just let her type letters...but so far I haven't found such a feature. I bought this laptop with the hopes that she wouldn't want to use mine...and so far so good. I recommend this laptop for parents who want to teach their kids letters, spelling and how to use a mouse. For the price..it's great!

Fisher-Price Fun-2-Learn Computer Cool School

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Learning and Education
from: Fisher Price

June 01, 2008
My 4 year old twins received this for their birthday last month. They are really into "learning" stuff like practicing counting, letters, numbers and so on. Yeah, it may not be a really great learning toy but what toy is? That is what school and parents are for. This is a toy that just help to reinforce what they have learned from school or parents.

My daughters like the drawing part the best. It may not have a specific learning objective like other areas but the game itself gives them independence and the navigation helps with dexterity. And of course the stamps are tons of fun.

They also play with the math games where they have to click on a specific number of shapes. It helps with shape recognition and counting. ... Read More:

When I called my sister to see how her son (5 years old) liked this gift, she laughed. Apparently he burst into tears upon first seeing it because it wasn't another super hero action figure. She sat down with him and his older brother (6 years old) and they played a round and they've been playing it daily ever since. She also mentioned that her 5-year-old tends to be a bit of a sore loser and this game has helped her to help him overcome that tendency.

LeapFrog® Tag Reading System

This product is awesome! I love it and so does my 4-year-old son. I really can't say enough good things about it.

My son enjoys using his "Magic Pen" every night to "read" his two books - Ozzie and Mack and Cars Tractor Tipping." Many nights, after I put him to bed, I will hear the pen talking to him and the characters of the book come alive. He reads these so much that he will tell me as soon as he turns the page "Oh, it's Frank!" ... or make the sound effects that the characters make before even placing the pen on the pictures. He also enjoys turning the pen on and just listening to the story without the book.

I really like having the ability to see his progress by going online and checking out his learning path. I can see ... Read More:

LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game System - Green

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Learning and Education
from: LeapFrog

June 12, 2006
I have a leapster, and I like it. It's green, and it's got lotsa games inside it, and you can put more in the top of it. I got the doggie game, the one where you wash and pet your dog, and I like it alot, and I got the one where you make creatures, and make rooms for them to live in. I have a case, and you always have to make sure when you go somewhere, you have the game inside 'cause if you get someplace, and you only got the case, and no leapster in it, it's not as much fun. I like my mom's Pretendo (Nintendo), but mine has more games for a little boy. I think it's a good game for kids, My mom is getting me the Spongebob game for the car ride to Disneyland.

Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Waterproof Digital Camera Pink

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Learning and Education
from: Fisher-Price


This camera is an excellent entry level educational "toy" for younger children. One draw back is that it does not have a handle to carry it by. The child takes pictures at the zoo, but mom or dad ends up carrying the camera, wheras if it had a carrying handle like mom or dads camera then the child would feel responsible by carrying their own camera. Over all it is an excellent camera and the price is a great value!!!

Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Waterproof Digital Camera Blue

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Learning and Education
from: Fisher-Price


Would you give a child a camera to play with on their own? Now you can. Fisher-Price has been making children's toys since 1930 and this is truly a wonderful toy for a youngster. This is very durable and your child can drop this camera over and over again without fear of breaking it (within reason, of course. I can't say you can drop it off the roof!). It will survive laying in the wet grass or even under 3 feet of water (for no more than 30 minutes they say). It's the simplicity that your kid will love. The viewfinder is actually `two-eye viewing' like those old 3-D viewers from the sixties. Your child can just push their face right into the camera and easily learn what makes a good picture. The controls are easy and you'll probably find your ... Read More:
