Smart-e-Dog, The First Soft Dog With Smart-e Software by Intellitoys and Kids Preferred, White/beige

41HjNvr7p2L Smart e Dog, The First Soft Dog With Smart e Software by Intellitoys and Kids Preferred, White/beige Smart-e-Dog, The First Soft Dog With Smart-e Software by Intellitoys and Kids Preferred, White/beige Customer Review: Estatic that this was created!
I cannot say enough about this toy. I have a one year old who absolutely loves it. I am thrilled that there is a toy out there that will grow with my child. I am more estatic that I was able to add Spanish content to the toy. Now, when Leo plays with the toy he hears all the content in Spanish. It just helps to reinforce what he is learning at home from his parents. The price is also just right. The setup is easy, you can nativagate through the website with no problem and the customer service is incredibly helpful. I am thrilled that my one year old will be growing up with a Smart-e-Dog. I created two playdates, the first playdate is in English and the other playdate is in Spanish. I downloaded Spanish songs, stories and games already. I look forward to adding new content as my child gets older and as the smart-e website library grows. I know that other languages will be available in the near future. Overall, the best present we could have gotten for my child. I highly recommend this toy to all parents. I have already purchased two more to give as gifts.

Shure – Mini Pocket Friends Magnetic Wooden Doll Set

51I8jnJWy%2BL Shure   Mini Pocket Friends Magnetic Wooden Doll Set Shure – Mini Pocket Friends Magnetic Wooden Doll Set Customer Review: A new twist on old-fashioned fun!
I remember playing with paper dolls when I was a child. That is why when my daughter, a county children’s librarian, was looking for something sturdy, educational, and fun for the 3-6 year olds attending her Science Saturday program, this came to mind. (The theme for the day was “magnets” which made it even more apropos.) I sent it to her, and she said it was probably the hit of the event, with even older children, including a few embarrassed teenagers, having fun playing with the dolls. Because the pieces are so durable and easy to store, she expects to use them for a long time to come with her “little scholars” in the Children’s Reading Program.
Customer Review: Mini Pocket Friends — great for K-1 Language Development
I purchased a set of these magnetic dolls for my Dual Language 1st grade classroom and my students LOVE them! These dolls provide opportunities for language development during center time. The boys are as eager to use them as are the girls, though of course the boys only want to play with the male doll. Obviously, I need to purchase an additional set to provide my boys with greater access. I wish that Shure would develop a 2nd set of Mini Pocket Friends with additional male dolls and include dolls with Hispanic features. The only draw back is the plastic container, as it’s hard to remove the items. We simply keep the dolls in a plastic tub for easy access.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Felt Playmat

51QP9XZ9QVL Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway   Felt Playmat Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Felt Playmat A durable surface for Thomas adventures! (Engines, Vehicles, Buildings, and track not included)
Customer Review: Thomas playmat
I bought this for my son’s extensive Wooden railway system. It is great for traveling to see our family. He then uses the mat on the floor to set up his train set. He also just uses the map to play with his trains. Our son is two and I think we will get a lot of use out of it. when he grows out of it I will use it as a door mat in the muddroom!
Customer Review: Doesn’t hold up
We purchased this playmat for our 18-month-old son for Chirstmas because we felt he was too young to spend so much money on the train table. The first mistake was assuming that the mat was the same size as the table. The mat is not designed for use with the tracks. This means that the figure eight set is too long and extends past the edge of the mat, making the tracks uneven. The biggest problem, however, if your child sits on the mat or crawls across it while playing, the felt top comes unglued from the rubber backing. This makes the felt top really wrinkle up so that his trains do not run smoothly across it. I tried to smooth it out, but it seems to have warped and will not smooth out. So far, this doesn’t seem to have bothered our son too much, though. He continues to play with it, although he does prefer to use his train table that his grandfather made for him to put his tracks on. Much cheaper than a [...] train table!

Wooden Folding Barn

51jP6Vb5 YL Wooden Folding Barn Wooden Folding Barn You’re the farmer at this make-believe barn, and there’s lots of work to do. Keep the barn tidy and clean, and make sure all the animals are happy and well-fed. This solid, colorful wood barn is ideal for endless hours of imaginative play. Comes with several wooden animals. When playtime is over, fold all pieces inside barn for easy storage and transport. Measures approximately 14″ x 16″ x 10.5″.
Customer Review: Fold and Go Barn – love it
My daughter wanted a barn with farm animals so badly at Christmas. Since she was 5 years old I figured she would forget about it. When she didn’t get it for Christmas and then the Easter bunny didn’t bring it she was upset. So, for her 6th birthday she finally got a barn with some animals. The structure is strong and animals are fine. She really likes playing with it and adding all her other animals and horses to her farm too. I was slightly disappointed that it didn’t have more gates or moving parts (locks even). It is really neat and I would recommend it. It only took about a week to get it too. My daughter loves it and that’s what is most important.
Customer Review: Old Fun
This set has a hard time competing against Legos, Star Wars figures, Bionicles, and video games but it’s well built, has a good variety of animals and is nice throwback to simpler days.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Thomas the Tank Engine

51cfC6W2XLL. SL160  Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway   Thomas the Tank EngineThomas the Tank is the signature bright-blue engine in the Thomas the Tank series. He does light yard work and pulls small passenger cars, such as Annie and Clarabel. Based on the award-winning television series Shining Time Station by the Reverend W. Awdry, the Thomas the Tank train system fulfills all of a child’s choo-choo dreams. Each vehicle has a different name, character, and face. It is wooden and 2 inches high with black plastic wheels. The magnetic bumpers at the ends of each vehicle make linkup easy. Children will become friends with each one, developing not only imaginative play but social skills and new motor and cognitive skills as they mature. –Sandy Hirsch
Customer Review: Pretty small
ok i never imagined how tiny this train was, until I saw it. Definitely not worth the money. I wouldn’t have bought it. And my son was not that much interested in a small thomas whatsoever.
Customer Review: Trains get uears of use
My son got this wooden train as part of a set on his first birthday. He is now eight, and although there’s a little paint missing, the engine is still going, and the Thomas trains still hold tremendous appeal. The wooden tracks are nice to play with, although I wish the whole thing were better engineered, so that when you pulled a train around the tracks, they actually stayed on better. In the end, they are pretty indestructible and wooden toys just have a kind of feel that you can never get with plastic. Buy Now from Trusted Amazon.com Click Here
