Star Wars R2D2 Jr Laptop

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronics for Kids
from: Star Wars

August 01, 2008
I have two daughters (six and two). The six year old really enjoyed playing with it, but it was obviously quite basic for her. I was concerned though that the two year old was going to have a hard time with it. The screen is pretty small and the number and shape keys are a little hard for little fingers to press. Nevertheless, she has had a blast with it. Both girls have sat down for 10-15 minutes at a time and played cooperatively, with the older one occasionally showing the younger one which keys to press. It was well worth the money to buy this inexpensive and durable toy.

My grand daughter loves this toy. She is just 2 and is constantly trying to get the microphone out of daddy's Rock Band. Now she can sing to her hearts content and daddy can rest a little easier.

LIGHTNING REACTION XTREME SHOCK 2 IN 1 GAME

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronics for Kids
from: Jumpin Banana


This is a great fun game if you are lucky enough to buy one that works and that does not break after five seconds. I bought one that stopped working after three days. A year later I bought another, it did not work right out of the box (lights failed). I exchanged it and the replacement was not 100% either (lights failed and one handle was poor). I am now returning it for my money back.

LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Cars

I had high expectations for this particular Leapfrog book, especially since Leap's Big Day book was very educational and fun. I just assumed this one would be great too. To my disappointment, there was a lack of activities and games. There was not much to do on each page as compared to the original book that the Leappad came with. For those children who love Cars, maybe it would be okay. However, I found this book a bit dull, lacking creativity, and not as educational as I had hoped. My son was not the least bit interested in facts about cars. I will be looking for a different game now.

LeapFrog Baby Counting Pal

This toy is great. We've used it since birth. The songs are pleasant, not too annoying, but catchy at the same time. The tactile stimulation from the different things on the bottom is great (squeaking, crinkle, jingle, etc.) We really enjoy this toy, and the ability to teach numbers and colors will make it usable for a long time. I wish the buttons were easier to press, though, as my 10 month old is just now figuring out how to turn this on.

U.B. Funkeys Dream State Starter Kit with Bones and Drift

I also made the mistake of buying these for our sons before realizing that Mattel hasn't made them compatible with either Vista or Mac. That is a serious glitch, I would say. If you call the 800 number that shows up when you try to install you can ask for a voucher, and hopefully when they get their act together you'll be able to buy the upgraded ones at no extra cost. Look into it.

Leapster Arcade: Letterpillar

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronics for Kids
from: LeapFrog


My grand daughter loves this and Running on Zero, one for letter skills, the other for math. Both are fun, and teach the child. They challenge your child to try harder, for a better score, even though there's no grading involved (the way it should be)

Cube World; Series 3: Sparky & Toner

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronics for Kids
from: Radica Games

These weird little blocks are addictive! Our 9 year old just rec'd his first pair for his birthday. He and his 10 year old brother love them. However, the little stick guys aren't that nice to each other, so if that's an issue in your household, you might want to reconsider. I've also read (though I don't know if this is true) that some of the other pairs have "questionable" behaviors that might be better suited to....ummm, an adult toy store? My boys have had fun "seeing what happens if you do this" and trying to figure out the technology behind the toy, but I can see them getting bored with them if they can't add new cubes every so often.
