Alex Yarn Craft Kit in Carry Basket

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Alex


Well I got this a couple of years ago for Christmas and it was really difficult to knit, so, my neighbor (A grandmother) came over to help and she couldn't get it, but she taught me the other activity in the kit, crocheting! It was a LOT easier, but with the plastic tool and the yarn together, it kept slipping out of thee little hook. After a while, you get the hang of it though, and I could do it with my eyes closed. I would buy it again, but the knitting part I would give a bad rating.

PlayFoam 12 - Pack

My daughter seems to love this stuff, but the foam pellets do separate out and it's hard to pick them up. It's kind of like having tiny styrofoam "peanuts" all over your house. We were given a brick as a present and I'm glad, because now I know I don't like it enough to buy it.

That's Not My Monster... (Usborne Touchy Feely)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
by: Fiona Watt

December 30, 2004
It's very simple. A little mouse runs around trying to find his monster, each monster is wrong for some touchy-feely reason.

Very striking, simple pictures, very easy text for little babies and toddlers. Any child is capable of sitting through this one!

I do find that two of the pages stick together, probably because of the texture used on the paws ("bumpy"), and I am continually disappointed that the rough horns aren't very.

But overall, it's a great book in a great series.

Story Creator

We got this for our six year old son who is just starting to really like to write. He found it so "cool" that he could record his own voice telling the story that he created. Just wish the recording time was longer than 60 seconds. You can use your own 81/2 x 11 paper when your child uses up the sheets it comes with. The sound effects are really cute.

Moon Sand Large School Yard Kit

from: Spinmaster

Buy moonsand only if you enjoy spending hours chiseling this stuff out of crevices, your child's shoes, the carpet, the patio, etc. It is by far the messiest toy we have gotten for our child. Far worse than play-doh or even regular sand. I will never buy it again!

We bought this for our daughter's 2 year old birthday. It is great for those rainy days. The sticker art was her favorite. I highly recommend this for 2-4 year olds.

Cook It in a Cup!: Quick Meals and Treats Kids Can Cook in Silicone Cups

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
by: Julia Myall

February 20, 2008
I'm new to silicone products and I think these little cups are so cute and interesting. Most things come out really easy and kids love to pick a color when they are done. The cookbook is great! Easy to read, colorful and lots of interesting recipes. So far, we have tried the easy eggs, brownies, banana-chip muffins and the potato nests. We have altered several of the recipes since one of my children has an egg and dairy allergy and the results have been fine (for brownies, used egg replacer and doubled the flour). Some of the items have needed to cook longer than specified. We look forward to trying all the recipes!

Fashion Angels Design A Heavenly Wardrobe

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Fashion Angels

June 01, 2007
Purchased the Fashion Angels Design A Wardrobe for my 7 year old daughter as a Christmas gift. The imagination involved is fun but I really suggest it be for more older girls. My daughter likes it but it's a bit complicated for her so she gets a little disheartend after a short time. It evens require a bit of concentration on my part, so I understand what's she going through! Also, be prepared to purchase a flat case or box at least 15" square to store all the pieces in. But it general, it's a great purchase that needs to be more for girls 10 years and up who are a little "advanced" with drawing, coloring and designing.

Bought these for my 20 month old daughter as soon as she turned them over to color the crayons fell out. We lost one the first day. Very disappointing for a Crayola product and the price.
