LeapFrog® Fridge Wash & Go Magnetic Vehicle Set

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

July 01, 2008
I was so excited when I came across this toy. My 3 year old son loved the farm version of this toy when he was younger. I have 18 month old twins who also love the farm version, so when I saw this item I thought this would be a perfect addition to our refrigerator toy collection. It is educational and entertaining. However, Leapfrog changed the materials used and this "car wash" is not as sturdy as the farm we have from three years ago. The magnet isn't very strong so the toy slides down the refrigerator door. This frustrates my children since they enjoy working on the puzzle while standing. I now give the toy to them while they sit in their highchairs. They enjoy making matches and the vehicles are quite cute. Overall, I still like ... Read More:

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Stroll-Along Walker

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

June 01, 2008
I just wanted to add my two cents, I read alot of reviews before buying this for my daughters first birthday and was very excited to give it to her. Two weeks before her birthday she started walking and by her birthday she was speed walking. She liked how it held her dolly in it but because the wheels are made for a slow unsteady walker this was VERY hard for her to push on wall to wall carpeting! My 2 yr old had no problem pushing it, but my 1yr old didnt have the strength and easily gave up.

Too bad because I would have easily gotten rid of a few other push along walkers we owned to keep this one, because there is nothing cutier then seeing your baby girl push her first stroller around the house, just hope they dont have wall ... Read More:

Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad

I bought this toy last year for my 3 yr old and I was wondering at the time how much she would play with it or would it be one of her toys that just collected dust, but she loves the Easy Link and still plays with it everyday! It has so many different activities that she's still finding new things to do. I bought all of the characters and she enjoys every one of them. This is a great toy that has a little bit of everything and I would recommend it very highly!!

Melissa & Doug Under the Sea Jigsaw (24 pc)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Learning and Education
from: Melissa & Doug


We just got this puzzle for our 2 1/2 year old. The graphics are beautiful and 24 piece size with wooden tray is great. My daughter loves this puzzle and has put it together at least 25 times in just a few days of owning it! However, the pieces stick together pretty badly, making it hard for her to get apart or put together. Plus, the lamination is peeling off of a few pieces already. In less than a week of owning the puzzle, I've already glued 2 pieces and I'm not sure that is even going to work. I don't see this puzzle lasting past the next few months. I definitely don't think this puzzle will be a "hand me down". This is in contrast to wooden puzzles I had as a child that are still going strong.

Smart Cycle™ Dino Software

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

June 01, 2007
My 4 and a half year old son loves this toy and says it's "Awesome, Mom"! The only other video game he has is the leapster from Leap Frog, which captures his attention some when taking a road trip, but this toy is great b.c. he can stay active by pedaling and the dinosaurs amaze him. He doesn't even bother with the cartridge that accompanied the smart cycle only wants to play the dinosaur one...and does not tire of it.
A great toy....I'm very pleased with the purchase!

LeapFrog Alphabet Pal® Caterpillar (Colors May Vary)

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


My son seems to enjoy this toy okay but it drives me crazy. He did not use it when learning his ABCs; he preferred a toy with buttons easier to push and larger letters. But he picks this one up every now and then. It has a music mode that plays short songs but if you even barely touch another button it changes to a different song. The string is too short to pull; I am not sure of the purpose of it. I would get rid of this toy if my son didn't play with it at times. Overall I think it is annoying and would recommend getting a different ABC toy.

Learning Resources Gears! Gears! Gears! Movin' Monkeys

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


As a grandma of 6 under 5 yr olds, I'm always looking for toys that keep them occupied and happy. Building sets have always been my favorites (Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, K'nex, etc). This looked different, but fun, so I tried it. Boy, am I glad I did! They love it! We did have to put together the whole big picture once, but after that they keep coming up with new ways to put it together to make the gears turn on the pads and in the trees. Although I can't speak about the longevity of the monkey gears since we haven't had it even a month yet, I can say that it is a favorite with me and with the grandchildren.

My two-year-old got thid toy as a birthday gift. He is a ELMO fan and he loves this toy. This has been his favorite toy for several months. We didn't have problems with the cards.
