5 stars is yes!
this toy is one of the best my mom have ever bought me thanks!

Birthday Present
I got my trampoline for my 12th birthday and I was really excited. Though, as soon as I jumped on it, it wasn't bouncy at all! I am not very happy with this trampoline, and i don't reccomend that you buy it!

Don't wait....buy it!!
My granddaughter spent the first 8 years of her life without a trampoline because her parents were afraid she would "hurt herself" if she had one. I bought this one for her and my 4 year old grandson for several reasons...it was not high off the ground (thus taking away the fear of injury); they can move it around by themselves; it was recommended by a friend; and the price. The kids were thrilled and have used it daily. It's great exercise...the other children in the neighborhood love to play on it....it teaches them to take turns (there's not enough room on it for more than 3 small kids at a time). It's just a lot of fun for them.

Durability has been great, just the right size - not big and bulky.

Is it my tampoline or is it just THIS trampoline?
I bought this exact one maybe a year ago. About 2 months later it just collapses. Set up is not the onlt thing that is hard, actully trying to get a high jump is VERY difficult. This is a little kids toy but most little kids don't just like baby bounces do they? I would not recommend this trampoline to ANYBODY!

Best backyard toy ever!
We have a slightly sloped yard so I was hesitant about getting a trampoline. We tried it, and it works fine! My kids love it! Of course, like any other toy, they take it in spells but it still gets used alot after 6 months. I was also concerned at first about them falling off of it. I almost bought the enclosure to go with it but I decided to wait and see how high they jumped, etc. This trampoline is so small, they really can't get a lot of "air" so they don't do flips and other dangerous tricks. It's also very low to the ground. I am glad now that I didn't get the enclosure. We don't really need it. I would recommend this trampoline for younger kids. The weight limit is 120 lbs so it can't support larger kids. Also, since it is so small, we only let our two preschoolers jump together. When we have guests over, it's one at a time. I love it that my kids want to be outside so much. This is better money spent than on video games, in my opinion! ... Read more

The Leapster is BEST $ Spent
My daughter got a Leapster for Christmas along with the Dora cartridge....she was 3 1/2 years old. She has played with it every day. We have never had any problems with it and just changed the batteries for the 1st time at 7 months. We got her this kindergarden cartridge for her 4th B-day in May. It is amazing what she has learned!!!!!! We also just purchased The Letter Factory cartridge for our last trip....it has taught her all her letter phonics...and in such a short time!!!!!! Thank you Leapster for such an awesome educational toy!!!!!

The BEST cartridge by far!
This one is AWESOME and teaches so much~ I can't believe how much my little boy has learned. This one is his favorite by far~most like a video gane but 100% educational. Thanks Leap Frog for such great products!

What a Godsend!
My son is newly 5 years old. I first purchased the Leap Pad quite some time ago and it seems, even to this day, he's too young for it or he just gets bored of it quickly. I purchased the Leapster for Christmas and he LOVES it. On his birthday, I gave him the kindergarten software. (He will be going into Kingergarten this coming September). Its his FAVORITE one to date. Its like owning a video game, only EDUCATIONAL. He plays with it CONSTANTLY while learning his letters, numbers and even how to spell small words. I can't rave about it enough.

Leapster games are fun
My name is Skylar and I love to play the games I have for my
Leapster. My favorite one is Dora the Explorer. I love them all
though. I like the letter factory because it has taught me how
to say all of the letters in the alphabet. I really like the
drawing one also. I can't wait for the new games for my leapster
to come out. I also really need the battery pack also. My mommy
says she needs to buy stock in AA batteries. I Love Leapster

Good first car seat toy
I bought these bugs for my daughter while looking for a cheap car seat toy to keep her entertained since we spend so much time in the car (love that Houston traffic!). I bought them for her when she was one month old, and she was immediately captivated by the bright colors and motion. She has had so much fun with these bugs and they were the first things she batted at and pulled toward her mouth. I only put 2 of the 3 bugs on her car seat and rotate them periodically. The rattle bug doesn't rattle all that well, but enough to keep her interest. She is now 5 months old and still loves the bugs - we clip them to other things than her car seat since she seems to have so much fun with them. I only wish they had something this cute and inexpensive when my son was born!!

My son can stare at these bugs forever.
These are great!! My son is 9 weeks old and loves staring at these bugs dangling from overhead. They are bright and colorful and really grab his attention. He doesn't reach for them yet, but I know he will soon.

9 month old STILL loves his bugs!
I bought Bugs on Board for my daughter when she was a couple of months old to go on her infant carrier. She found them very entertaining and would pull on them and stare at them. Once we got the next size up carseat, we started using them on her stroller or just by themselves. This is weird, but her favorite part is the velcro. She just loves chewing on them more than any other toy just about. Even though she has plenty of teethers, for some reason she just loves the way the velcro feels on her gums I guess. We've gotten a lot of mileage out of this (...) toy!

Bugs Galore
My 2 month old son loves these. I put them on his car seats and he smiled at them and then started to talk to the two. I can't wait till he grabs them and starts to play with them. I attached them to his wrists too and was making the lady bug rattle. Great toy for young ones. Know someone who is expecting it's a must have.

bug laugh
My son loves these bugs! We have them on his car seat and he watches them move. He can't grab them yet - but they hold his attention and I can see him focusing on them. I can't wait to see him when he can hit them and pull on them and make them "fly"! ... Read more

The Bets Game Out There!
This is the best game ever. We bought this on a recent family trip and we were hooked. Every age range in our family played from grandkids to grandparents and everyone in between. It is fun, strategic and totally addicting. We played every night and could not put it down!

What a great game!
Our family loves to play games together so I am always looking for a new game. This game is our favorite currently. It goes pretty fast and everyone is on the same level. I have a 22, 13, and 11 year old so something that is equal to all of them is a must. They all love this one and usually head out the door with it to a friends house.

Awesome fun for all ages
Being a teen, I wasn't to psyched when my friends opened this game up to play. But, My mind was soon changed. This is a highly addictive strategy game. The cool thing is, theres no one strategy that will win it for you everytime. You constantly have to adjust your strategy to what your opponets are doing. Very fun, definite "Must Buy".

Blokus: fun for all ages
This game came out originally in Europe, so our friends discovered it a couple of years ago. It's the only strategy game I know where a 5-year-old can play against his father and (sometimes) win. Definitely fun, and different every time you play.

Blokus
The game of Blokus is highly addictive! We have had more fun with this game. Everyone we have played with just loves it.We are all so determined to win the next round that we play all night long!

For fun we have even tried to make a solid square or rectangle with the pieces, just laying them on the table.It can be done,with 1 space left over.Try it,you'll drive yourself crazy!

Blokus, get one today! ... Read more

PRICE
This toy is priced higher than sensation beginnings... they offer the pushbar included with the overall purchase.

Has the old standard Radio Flyer been replaced????????
This trike not only is the best looking trike I have ever seen - it is the sturdiest!! And the features of this trike like the air tires and the ease of the seat adjustment is out standing!! True - you will pay three times as much for this trike over the Radio Flyer, but this trike won't rust up as fast and will last a life time longer than the Flyer. It is just the best trike you can own!!!

BIG & SMOOTH
My 2yr old and 3 1/2 yr old love this trike! It well built and will last many years.The expandable frame will allow them many growing years of fun! My 3 1/2 yr old saids its heaver than his Kalypso trike but rides very smooth and he like the fact it can go backwards very easy. We let them ride on your deck and also in the house (only in a few areas). This trike rides over the deck without hardly making a sound and goes on carpet very easily. The 2 yr old loves the big seat and the way the pedals don't have to turn (free wheel action of the front tire) when she is being pushed around in it. They really love to take turns using our 2 trikes and this trike glides way better than any plastic wheel trike. The 3 1/2 year old saids this trike stays at our house forever and ever. And that saids it all! ... Read more

peice of crap
(...) THIS TOY IS CRAP. I would not recimend this toy for any body.I bought this toy for my son and it was broken after the first day.I think they should call this toy the crap mobil.(...).I am 21 so it will say that I am 4 but that is how old my son is.

GREAT TOY!!
We received this for our daughter's 1st birthday and she LOVES it!! At first we thought she wouldn't be able to ride it yet since she isn't walking, but she had no problems. This is a GREAT toy and I would HIGHLY recommend it.

Cool Toy!
I just bought this toy for my 21 month old and she loves it...the only thing I wish it had was reverse because she always runs it into things and I have to turn her around or help her back it up...also definitely buy a helmet at the very least because it jerks on initial take-off and if your child isn't holding on well they could easily fall backwards off this unit...the best part of this toy is the ease of use and access of the power button for young children and the stability, even if your child has a little trouble getting on or off the quad doesn't tip over.

Excellent!
We bought this for my daughter's 1st birthday and she loves it!!! She gets right on, pushes the "go" button and she is off. Wonderful item!!! We also purchased the Barbie helmet for safety. ... Read more

Disappointed
I bought this pool regardless of the price (which I thought was kind of high, not to mention the price of the air compressor I had to get to fill it) after reading all the online reviews. I couldn't wait to use it. Well after an hour of blowing it up with a compressor I could not believe how disappointed I was. First it took forever to inflate. Then the rainbow shade would keep falling over and it wasn't rounded like in the picture but more like a point. Then the dolphins wouldn't even stand up. I had to stand there and hold it. The slide would just flatten out whenever anyone used it. So needless to say I returned it. It had alot of great stuff and the colors were bright and pretty. Plus the depth is great for toddlers but I would not recommend it to anyone, nor will I ever buy a blow up pool again.

Great Pool!
I bought this pool for my daughter last year and we are still using it this year. She and her cousins love to splash around. The small accessories are long gone and she still has a lot of fun.

Hours of wet, summer fun
My kids, 1 & 3 year old boys, LOVE this pool. I turn the water works on pretty low to keep the water at a safe level and they just love splashing around and sliding up and down in it. It's lasted 2 summers so far. With a good pump, we are able to set up and put away easily. The smaller accessory toys are long lost, but the rest of it is still around and providing hours of wet, summer fun. GREAT PRODUCT!

I Agree Completely with a 5-Star Review on All Counts
This pool is so cool. The excitement in my daughter's eyes when she saw this pool was worth (...). I love it, she loves it, we all love it. So wonderfully colorful and playful, this pool is a must-have for little "swimmers". It is delightful and so much fun for my little one. I recommend this pool for lots of summer fun. You will need some kind of foot pump or air compressor for setting up. I started with a foot pump and my husband finished it in no time flat with our portable air compressor.

FUN FUN FUN
My kids and the neighbours kids love this pool - this year and last year. We stored it and are getting lots of use of it already this year. We have kids 3-10 years of age in the neighbourhood who use this and I would recommend it to anyone with kids who want to have fun. ... Read more

Fun for kids of all ages
We bought two of these for my nephews who are both around 1 year old. My almost two year old daughter fell in love with the puppy so we ended up giving her one and going back to the store for another. She loves the puppy and unlike some "interactive" toys we have bought, it doesn't require adult strength to activate the different songs she can easily play all the songs by herself which is her goal with everything at her age.

Wow! Great toy!
We just bought this for my daughter's birthday. She is turning one in December. She played with it the entire time we were in the store. Then when we came home she continued to play with it, so I had to give in and opened it up early. She loves it. It really great because the buttons are easy for her to push, unlike many of her other stuffed animals that sing. She really gets into the music and dances her little heart out. I am so pleased with it. It also speaks and sings clearly so she can understand the words. The only bad part is that is seems a bit loud at times, but a small price to pay when it makes her so happy.

this is the best scooter ever
I just got this scooter and i haven't had more fun in my life. With the seat it feels just like your riding a bike except u arent doing any work. It looks too cramped in the picture, but dont worry, its not. It takes little charging time and when its done...u go fast. I am a thirteen year old and this scooter is fine for me. I think kids ages 10 and up can ride this thing becuase its just like a bike. If u can ride a bike, u can ride this.Basically this scooter is easy to ride. It is very smooth, and u dont feel the bumps. The assembly is really easy. I did the assembling with my dad but i am sure i could have done it on my own. I recommend u buy this and if u purchase it at toysrus u get a full coverage if it breaks. This scooter is the the best scooter ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like my scooter!!! i ride it everyday. my friend liked it so much she got one of her own. and my other friend liked it so much he is planning on buying an E200.

sweeeeeeeeet! By scooter lover
I just got this scooter 2 days ago. It charges well and if you let it charge enough then it goes alot faster then what it says on the box. I would give this sweet scooter a thumbs up on the fun scale!!!!!! It goes down hill smothly and not too fast and up hill with power left over in other words it goes up really fast. charging goes fast and the battery is already charged some when you get it. Bye Bye and have fun with this scooter!! :-) :)

Fun!~ FUN!~ FUN!~
This is the best toy for your summer fun! Fast and swift but durable too. There is a 25$ waranty and be sure to send that in. The seat is so comfterble with a 45 minute run every charge! Let it charge over night and you will be ready to go the next day. I am 16 and I bought it myself after I had seen and purchased the razor e-200 electric scooter w/ seat for my nephew for christmas. You go 15 or maybe even 16 mph! This scooter is so fun and for the 3 months I've had it nothing has gone wrong!You will be the hit of the neighborhood! (...) And because your sitting you never get tired out. The scooter has a heavy metal deck and i built right with an easy to adjust handle.! Trust me you will have a blast!

Very fast and fun scooter!!
This scooter is very cool! It is very fun and I will enjoy using it for years to come. It charges pretty fast and is a low price for all the features it comes with. This scooter is awesome!!!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Getting young children interested in toy trains is a wonderful way to teach as well as to have a lot of fun. By playing with train sets, young minds learn how to fit things together, how transportation works, how cities and communities are created, all the while enhancing their imagination through pretend play. This sizable and table kit features a smooth, easy to clean melamine surface on the top with convenient storage compartment underneath. The 83-piece train set sports a wide variety of train cars plus buses, police cars, dump trucks, and other vehicles to operate on the pieces of road, which are included in addition to the track. Filling stations, gates, buildings, bridges, and other modular components add to the magic. Since all the pieces fit together so handily, young train enthusiasts can spend hours designing their own sprawling networks and configurations. We liked how complete this set is and how handily it all stores when playtime is done. Compatible with Thomas the Tank Engine and Brio train sets. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Editorial Review

LeapFrog's range of educational toys is exceptional, and this interactive flipbook really has that "wow" factor. In the box it looks like an innocent book, but once assembled it provides absolutely hours of entertainment with a preschool teaching focus. The book reads the text to the child, then its magic pen allows the child to touch the text and reread difficult words. Rather like a computer game, the pictures in the page also respond to touch. Each page has two to three games on it where the child has to answer questions on the text or the pictures. The child only needs to respond with the pen, so children as young as 3 can easily play all the games. LeapFrog has made sure that this two-sided book packs in all the elements of a balanced preschool curriculum. Numbers, phonics, prereading, and numeracy skills come alive through the activities. Both nonfiction and fiction text are included with a variety of musical activities. There is even a volume control on each page for weary parents on those long car journeys! Be prepared with four AA batteries (not included) and a small screwdriver. The instructions included are not specific, but the illustrations on the box are self-explanatory. Perfect for a rainy day or a long journey, My First LeapPad provides great value for the money, as your child will be entertained and educated for hours. --Jo Fitzgerald

My First LeapPad is a sturdy unit with an integral speaker and a magic pen, which reads the spiral flipbook included with the set. Other books and cartridges can be bought and used with the same unit. My First LeapPad flipbook consists of both an interactive story introducing the characters of Leap and his family, and (once you have flipped the book) a selection of interactive games pages which encourage learning of numbers, colors, shapes, and music making. A pleasant and encouraging voice reads the story, which is written on the page, or if just one word is touched, the voice says that one word, encouraging word recognition. In game mode, the voice asks the child to find a specific number, color, or object and gives praise when the child succeeds. The pad is easy to use, provided children remember to always touch the Go button with the magic pen every time they turn a page. If they forget, the pen will read from another page, which causes much confusion! After a few tries, mine soon got the hang of it and could play independently. Everything is worked using the pen, including the volume control, and the pen is impossible to lose as it is attached securely to the unit. In comparison to their interactive PC games, the LeapPad failed to hold my children’s attention for prolonged periods, and although I found it amazing that the pen could recognize so many different words and objects, they were less easily impressed. There is no movement, unlike in a PC game. On the other hand, the unit is portable, so can be played anywhere, unlike the PC. The unit certainly has lots of educational value and is well made and durable. A large selection of interactive books can be purchased separately, so once the children are comfortable using the magic pen, they can try other activities. They can also choose more difficult material, ensuring that the pad grows with your child. --Rachel Elvidge

In common with other LeapFrog products, My First LeapPad is exceptionally well designed to be both educational and fun. The unit itself and attached pen are chunky enough for little fingers, and the single large button, integral carrying handle, and bright color will make it appealing and easy to use for preschoolers. My First LeapPad comes with a ring-bound book and accompanying cartridge which fit easily into the unit (you also need four AA batteries, not included). Placed right side up the book reads through a simple story, and when turned over the reverse sides contain a wealth of activities and games to play. For anyone who hasn’t previously seen the unique way that simply touching the pages with the pen produces voices and noises of all sorts, it seems like a miracle! Even for those who are familiar with it, it is still endlessly fascinating, and each page has lots of scope for discovery. The clear English voices read the story in sentences or single words as well as introducing games and activities involving music and instruments, shapes and color, reading, numbers, counting, matching, and much more. Each picture reveals a whole world of sound effects, voices, and speech from the characters according to the individual touches the child makes with the pen on the page. This makes play genuinely interactive and absorbing, and hugely valuable in terms of learning and pleasure. I recommend this product highly; it is suitable for all levels of learning between under 3 years and over 5, with each age range getting different benefits at different stages of development. --Caroline Parsons

My First LeapPad learning system by LeapFrog is a portable electronic toy incorporating the format of a flip-over book which teaches children to master skills such as writing, basic numbers, ABCs, phonics, listening, and comprehension. The desk layout includes a side handle and a special touch-sensitive pen which gives children the opportunity to develop the coordination required when they begin to write. With the pen the user can activate the different activities such as touching pictures to hear them come alive, touching words to hear them read aloud, playing a game by pressing the lily pad sign with the magic pen, activating a new page, listening to music, or adjusting the volume. The unit comes with an activity book, Leap’s Big Day. Leap is a frog with a happy voice and an English accent who introduces us to his family and different activities on each page. Although the toy is labeled for children aged 3 years and over, the activities are not incredibly difficult and would also suit a slightly younger child. For example, number work only goes up to five, and the page on what Leap will be when he grows up gives the child a number of pictorial choices and they have to select just one answer to say what a firefighter would need at work (hose, hat, boots), or what a doctor would need (stethoscope, white coat, etc.). All activities require use of the pen, which does require a steady hand at times. More books are available to buy separately, with titles such as Leap to the Moon, featuring Leap again, and Pooh's Honey Tree, which features Winnie the Pooh. The books are double-sided with a story side, which is interactive, and an activity side. The battery-powered toy provides preschoolers with a good introduction to interactive learning aids, including computers, and promotes readiness for reading and writing. --Sarah McNamara

This is a nice-sized interactive electronic learning game by LeapFrog. It consists of the LeapPad unit with carrying handle and a small, easy-to-maneuver electronic pen attached. There is a compact microchip unit which plugs into the side and a cardboard flipbook which attaches to the front. The book has two sides: a story side and an activity side. The sound is activated by touching the green Go circle on the page with the electronic pen. On the story side of the book this triggers a female English voice which reads aloud the words on the page. Your child can then touch each word with the pen to have these read aloud, or touch objects and characters on the page to hear them speak. There is a lily pad and a note symbol at the bottom of each page. When touched with the pen, the voice leads your child through games such as finding objects and people on the page. The activity side is centered on learning games such as parts of the body, colors, shapes, and counting. My First LeapPad is designed for preschool children to teach prereading and premath skills. It contains over 30 games and activities and is indicated to be suitable for ages 3 and over. My son will sit and play with the LeapPad on his own for a short time, but is only 3 and a half, and prefers me to help and guide him a little. My First LeapPad is a good learning aid and value for money as the flipbooks can be replaced with different books in the range to keep your child interested in learning. --Julie Illingworth

Learning to read has never been so fun, until now. This interactive system is an ideal tool for teaching various skills important in early years. My First LeapPad teaches ABCs, numbers, phonics, prereading skills, and premath skills. When children encounter the LeapPad for the first time, they may choose to participate in an interactive story book Leap's Big Day (included) or alternatively they may play 30 games and activities. If they choose a story they will be amazed at how involved they can become and how much they will learn. The games and activities on the reverse of the flipbook feature counting and singing songs as well as a section on parts of the body. The LeapPad comprises a spiral interactive flipbook that when used with the integral magic pen enables the story to come alive! The child may touch words and hear them read aloud or if they touch pictures in the story they too will make appropriate sound effects. This system is certainly an innovative concept that makes learning to read exciting while also challenging. --Tiffany Prescott ... Read more

The Leapster is better than this
This is frustrating to my daughter, because if the book isn't placed just right on the pad, it doesn't work correctly....if it is a little off, it will give an incorrect answer...when the answer was actually correct. I do however, highly reccommend the Leap Frog Leapster....it is amazing...and my daughter has learned so much from it....including the sound each letter makes. I also recommend the Leap Frog Phonics writing desk.

Great Ariplane toy too!
We purchased this a while back for my son who is now 3. He LOVES it. I enjoy watching match things too and seeing his little thought process at work. He also just went to Disney World and brought this on the plane. IT was GREAT to keep him occupied for the 2 hour flight. He loved showing the flight attendant how smart he is. :) I love the fact that it doesn't get old because you can buy different books to go with it so it's a toy that keeps on changing.

Fun But Not Durable
We bought this for our daughter when she was 2 1/2 years old. She loved it and we only allowed her to play with it when we were sitting with her. We were actively involved in teaching her how to use it. By the time she got the hang of it, just a few months later, it started not reading the cartridges. We would save money to buy additional books and by the time we had 3 the LeapPad was erroring out when reading from the cartridge.

Sometimes we can get it to work by blowing on the cartridge and the contact spot on the LeapPad and sometimes we end up wedgeing a paper in the hole with the cartridge. It seems to be the only way to get it to work.

In my opinion a product of this price should last longer than four months. I was sincerely disapointed to see no help on the website for how to fix this problem. Their warranty is only 3 months for this expensive kids toys.

My daughter has since learned to use the computer and it has served us much better than the LeapPad ever has.

Keeps My 3 Year Old Busy
My 3 year old daughter loves her My First LeapPad. She has spent countless hours playing with it. There are plenty of books to choose from and lots of activites in each book. We take it with on car rides and it keeps her busy. She has learned to change the books and corresponding cartridges on her own so it's not difficult to use. I highly recommend this product.

Junk
It's a real shame that this toy is so poorly constructed. It would be great if it would continue to work for more than a month. My children love it and we are working on our THIRD one and IT just broke. I reccomend skipping this skipping this toy and just investing in a computer and good software. ... Read more

Editorial Review

I must confess to a compete lack of objectivity when it comes to the Green Machine. It is hands-down the most fun toy I have ever tried. Basically a re-make of the original Green Machine of decades past, this one has the same lever controlled, rear-wheel steering that allows for crazy hairpin turns, and spectacular spin-outs. Only this time the frame is a bit more sturdy, and the front tire is made of sturdy rubber(the rear tires, alas, are still of old school hollow plastic construction and are destined to wear out far too soon).A few important caveats: though highly maneuverable, this is one set of wheels you will want kids to keep far, far from traffic; cool spinouts also mean uncool wipe-outs, so you should consider having your child wear the same safety gear normally used for rollerblading; and the sometimes iffy brakes need to be carefully adjusted before use.--David Stoesz ...

I'm getting one!
My mom wanted one of these so bad when she was a kid. She is 130 lbs I think and even though I have a PW50 when she saw this in the store her eyes lit up..reliving her childhood she says. I get a lot of stuff she wanted...thank goodness she liked cool things as I am a boy. So I am sure when we go down island in two weeks there will be one in the cart and it will be so sweet even though I have to share it with my MOm. Bonding time I guess. Every kid should have a mom that loves cool toys.

Green Machine kicks BoOty
YAAAAA is what i said when i first got on this bad boy bike. IT IS SO FUN..It doesn't help educate you though...I know thats all you moms car about, but that this advice this bike kicks..Its the best bikei have ever had.

A fun toy
Everyone knows that easels are a great toy for children, they encourage creativity and give them a reason to turn off the tv... My son has this easel, and it is really nice, I just wish that when they constructed it they would have bothered to put holes in the wide trays so when water or paint is spilled in them, it can drain out. As it is, I have to invert the entire easel to drain the trays. (Yes, this is an outdoor toy.) The only other major drawback to this easel is that the pad of paper that is provided is quickly used up, and I don't know where to find replacement pads. My son (who is a young 4) loves to draw on the plastic chalkboard side with his sidewalk chalks, and enjoys painting when I can find paper to use with it. Assembly was not as easy as we'd hoped, my husband is a real Mr. Fix-it and this gave him a little trouble. It was also missing a small part. BUT all these things aside, I would reccomend this to a friend, and I think your child would have fun with it also.

Most durable one out there - like new after 4 children!
This is just a great toy. Ours has gone through 4 children, 3 of them boys, and it's still like new. Little Tikes makes things that last forever and this is no exception. The trays snap off for easy cleanup, but stay on when needed by children. It's just so much fun for them to be able to draw on one side and paint on the other at the same time. We buy the finger paint sets and use the paper that is included in them and also, they make extra paper sets sold separately that provides the slippery side needed for finger painting. I love how easily this easel cleans up and requires very little maintenance. A great buy for a lot of fun!

Disappointment
How can you review something that is missing parts and you can't use? After trying to pick out the perfect easel for our grandson who just turned 3 - we picked this one because of the reviews it received. You cannot imagine how upset we were the evening before we were to travel to Richmond to give it to him, already put together when we were missing major parts. Too late to call the store to correct the mistake and we are leaving very early in the morning before the stores will be open again. You would think that when you purchase something that all the parts would be in place - especially something for a child. So, we head to Richmond tomorrow morning - with a new broken birthday present for our grandson. This is not acceptable - and will be last item I purchase from Little Tikes. I've called Little Tikes and left a message for them, but this won't fix the face that I will see in the morning when I tell him his birthday present isn't ready yet and he can't play with it. Come on people - if you have a job - at least do it right!

Great toy--even secondhand!!
I bought this easel used and it was still in perfect shape after being played with at a daycare. We are using it outdoors and plan to use it inside all winter. My 2 year-old loves to hide inbetween the easel for fun, paint, and use the chalkboard. I love the removeable trays. I do wish it was height-adjustable--or at least the paper clip was, but that's ok. We just use clothespins to pin 2 pieces of paper together to "lower" the paper.

BEWARE of chalkboard
I have brought home 4 different easels, and ALL of them have had broken chalkboards. As another review said, it is a very sharp plastic material and can be very dangerous for young children. I'm going back again today to see if I can find another one that is not broken. The manufacturer needs to be aware of this defect!!!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Over 10 feet long from end to end--with portholes, doors,ladders, slides, nooks, and crannies galore--this molded-plasticplayground promises years, if not decades, of entertainment before allof its possibilities can be exhausted. A 2-foot-long climb-throughtunnel connects two separate, open-topped towers (one is 4.5 feet tall,the other 5.5). The shorter tower has a swinging door and windows, thelarger one has two separate levels and two smooth-plastic slides (one is 3feet long, the other 4). It's the perfect investment for bigger andsmaller kids to play with together. But best of all, the playground canbe disassembled and rebuilt into eight different configurationswhenever the current setup loses its charm. With Little Tikes' typicalrock-solid, kid-friendly construction, you can bet this sturdyplayground will be around long enough for that to happen.--Paul Hughes ... Read more

GREAT FUN!!!!!!!!
We recently purchased Little Tikes 8-in-1 climber. Prior to recieving it, I read through the customer reviews, and from the information I gathered I was dreading the assembly process. To my surprise it was much easier. My husband and I did it in about 35 minutes. We just followed the directions, had a 2x4 and hammer ready and it came out great. The tunnel was the most challenging piece and required the most muscle. My kids LOVE it. This is the best purchase we've made in a long time. It's very durable and of course attractive to children, as all Little Tikes toys are. The only suggestion I would make is that it says for up to 8 year olds. However, I would say 6 years old would be more appropriate. But either way it will withstand any child. I would definitely recommend this product to our friends.

Love it!
I bought this for my son before he turned 2. He still loves it and it is so durable - even my husband and myself "get on it" periodically while playing with him. It has proved entertaining for our neighborhood kids as well when they visit and play with our son. We now have son number 2 and I am sure he will enjoy just as much! I really like Little Tikes products!

piece of cake
I do not want to sound mean or put anyone down, but the
assembly of this product was very easy. I did it with one hand
(have stiches in the other) in thirty minutes. I think some of
the reviewers are missing the point on the fit of the pieces-
they are supposed to fit VERY tight, your kids are going to be jumping on and abusing this after all.
Solid construction makes the price justifiable. Members of our family have similar products by little tykes and they have stood up very well for years and years.

We have had this toy 8 years!!!!
This is one of the best purchases that we have EVER made! This toy has been through our 5 kids plus numerous friends that have played on it over the years .It has survived 2 moves ..one out of state!There is not a thing wrong with it still! It is played on as much today as it was when we bought it ! We have had no problem at all with it lasting ! It does not look 8 years old at all .BUY BUY BUY!!!

Secure entertaining back yard fun
After reading the reviews on this product I have to disagree with the assembly part me and my 11 year old daughter put it together in less than 45 minutes. The tunnel was the hardest feature to put together.

I bought it for a 2 year old and he absolutely loves it I can't even get him to play in his sand box or on the swingset. He loves to climb and nothing better than this product for a climber.

I would have to say its an a + in my book. ... Read more

Editorial Review

For kids who want to experience the magic of growing their own garden, this kit is a fun andinventive experience. It contains everything you need to grow a small terrarium complete with an entirecommunity of tiny fantastical inhabitants. Paint the special planter with the paints (three primary colorsincluded), fill with soil, and then plant the enclosed beans and grass seeds. Then it's time to arrange the tinyfairy cottage, use the green pebbles to make a tiny path, and decorate the garden with the rocks, shells, and plastic animals that come with the kit. As the beans sprout and grow, you can cut and shape them sothey look like miniature trees--and for variety, add pepper, lemon, cantaloupe, and tomato seeds and watchjust what comes up. --John Longenbaugh ...

Best toy in the world!
I think that this toy allows fun and education into children. It gives them a craft to play with when they are bored, and is fun for anyone to play with. I defenitely recommend this one of a kind "Wee Enchanted Garden Kit." My child Jessica who is 10, just loves crafts! I also teach in a school and bring crafts for them to do all the time! They seem to really enjoy it a bunch! this is totally a five star kit!

"Awsome Fun!"
It was so cool!I loved it!I could design it anyway I wanted to.Thanks!

MOTHER OF 6 YEAR OLD
MY DAUGHTER LOVES FAIRIES SO I HAD TO ORDER THIS. IN 3 DAYS WE HAD 6 INCHES OF GRASS AND A FEW BEAN SPROUT TREES!!!! SHE LOVES TAKING CARE OF HER FAIRIES!!!!

Plants grew TALL
Had a wonderful couple hours putting this together with my 5-year old niece. And, because I live across country from her, she promised she would call me when the plants started growing. Just a few days later, I got an excited phone message from her that the garden was growing and the "plants were SO TALL." I called her back and told her to get the lawnmower out, which she quickly relayed to her father. The only thing I would change about this kit would be to have more realistic and fun animals and maybe an elf to go with the house. The kit includes a plastic frog and mouse that aren't even near scaled to the size of the house. An elf, a few deer, and a squirrel might be a better combination.

Takes awhile, but is still fun!
I got this for myself, actually. I like playing with stuff like this, even though I am no longer a kid! I had fun painting the pot and planting the seeds. A few days later, the grass started to grow. Unfortunately I haven't seen much of the beans - but hopefully soon. This is a fun kit to play with, but doesn't actually give you many hours of enjoyment. Once you paint the kit and plant the seeds (which doesn't take THAT long) you basically just check on it every so often to water it and see the plants. One other good thing about this kit, they give you extra seeds and tell you how to make them sprout using paper towels so you can see the entire process - very interesting! Would recommend, as the price is not too bad - but there are plenty of more eduacational toys out there that will occupy more of your time. ... Read more
