LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game: Disney Princess

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: LeapFrog


I just bought the Leapster for my 5 y.o. daughter. I wanted something she could play with in the car that was educational. She took to it right away and has needed very little help from me. I bought 3 games-this one, Dora Wildlife Rescue, and Kindergarten. She begged me for this one, but it is very challenging. I tried myself to trace the letters and you have to get it right on. You can not stray from the line and you can not go too far or it has you do it again. It's very precise and frustrating even for me. Her favorite is the onboard games and Dora. She does keep trying though b/c it's Princess, it just doesn't hold her interest for very long. There are quite a few games on this one though, I think they are the same but have one for Cinderella ... Read More:

Dress up is always fun. This is easy to pick up the pieces and keep them in the box.

Vtech - Write & Learn Letter Pad

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: V Tech


We received this as a gift for my son's 5th birthday. My son has Autism, and until we got this toy he had no interest in writing letters. Now, he turns it on and comes to get me to help him write. He still isn't doing it independently, but with my hand guiding him, he's getting better at writing. Most importantly, he's excited about writing now. I've begun having him use the toy to give him the instruction, but write the letter on paper instead of the toy's pad. This will help him transition to writing in school.

I bought this playmat for my daughter when she was 2 weeks old. My older son hated the surfboard playmat we bought for him. So we decided to give this one a try since it seemed to have a lot of activities on it. My daughter loves it! My son, who is 2 now, even likes to play with it!!!! LOL!! My daughter's favorite is the zebra tail. At about 2 month old, she learned to roll over so she could grab a hold of it! She loves looking at the lights and the leaves. It is a very cute mat. Once my daughter learned to crawl at 5 1/2 months old, she no longer had an interest in it. :( So I put an ad for it on Craigs List and within the hour it was already sold because it is so cute! Also, I had never once had to change the batteries in it.

Hasbro Candy Land Castle Game

My son turned 4 the month that we received this game. It was very easy for him (he knows his shapes and colors) and I think he is too advanced for the game to be of any educational value to him. It reinforces "waiting your turn" and being a good loser (he's an even worse winner, yelling "I won, I won"). He seems to win more than he loses. He loves the game, but I think it would be better for younger kids who do not know their shapes and colors.

I purchased this item, along with several other items with which to play school, for my 7 year old granddaughter. She enjoyed many hours of fun playing schol over her summer vacation. More than worth the money!

All our family birthdays fall in September, and birthday cake takes on a life of its own. So, this toy was a nice way for our 2-year-old granddaughter to re-enact all the excitement. She's had lots of fun with it.

My boys 2.5 and 7 absolutely love this toy. They especially likw the alien and the alien spaceship. They love all space things and this fits nicely with some of their star wars play sets. My 2.5 year old has even been taking the little alien ship to bed with him at night! This is a great set for any kid who are into spaceships.

This doesn't compare to the birthday cake or pizza for fun. For fruit & vegs play food I would suggest the velcro cutting food instead. Way more interesting.
