Cardboard Designs Teepee Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this teepee for my son who is not yet 2. It is wonderful. he has a great place to draw, hide and express his growing imagination. He loves to dive into the teepee when running away from me when i'm trying to wipe his nose, put on his coat, pants etc... or just a good old fashioned game of chase...
It is up permanently in the living room so he can go to it at any time to express his creativity.
Of course it is cardboard so there is wear and tear but the fun he has in it outweighs this. He won't even let me repair it.
I'd have given it a 5 star if i knew it were made to last a bit longer.

These cardboard play spaces are very easy to assemble. They come in a variety of styles and are environmentally friendly. To encourage creative play each piece comes in a solid natural color so children can personalize their play space themselves with color, decorations and designs. When you are done, just fold the cardboard back up to play another day.

Giant Building Block 40-piece Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are great, durable, fun cardboard blocks for your kids to build structures they can play in (for example, mine like to build walls under tables to make a fort or "rabbit hole" while they pretend they are rabbits, or they build towers around each other which they then love to crash down on their heads.) I like them because they are a nice physical toy that encourages the imagination. They are strong enough for kids to stand on (although I don't encourage it because they will weaken over time) and light enough that they aren't hurt if the blocks fall on them. And kids learn some spatial, balance, and construction concepts as well. Warning: assembly required, and you should take care when assembling to make sure you get them right (don't bend the cardboard in the wrong place or you will weaken them). Also,the best blocks are the larger red ones. The yellow ones are much harder to build with (no stability for height) and the blue (brick-sized) ones are nearly useless. I'm buying more of the red only, and I expect I will actually throw out the blue and yellow ones since they take up storage room but are pretty much useless. These blocks are expensive if you are going to buy enough of them. I recommend that your kids will need at least 30 red ones to really build things that they can play in (even building in an open-space brick-saving fashion)... and that gets costly. They can be stacked awayin a 2x3x4 area... it's helpful to cordon off a section of your room or have a big storage box that helps your kids figure out how to put them away. 5 stars for fun and child development, but I only gave 4 stars due to the expense and useless smaller blocks included.

This Little Piggy's House Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've watched my 2.5 year old nephew play with his little piggy house for the past year or so and he never seems to get tired of it. It's so cute when he invites his friends inside his little house when they come over. They love to look in and out of the window, the roof, and the door.
A nice thing about the house is that the kids can draw and decorate the house as they like - with markers, crayon, stickers, anything that comes to mind! I struggled with rating the "educational value" of the toy because it doesn't sing or have words on it like conventional "educational" toys, but I still gave it a 4 (and thought about giving it a 5) because it really seems to develop imagination in my nephew - which is far more unique than other toys on the market. Your child can learn ABC's from any typical toy or CD, but it takes something different to spark creativity.
The house is more durable than I expected (the carboard is stiff), and assembly is super easy and fun for both my nephew and his parents - sort of like a large puzzle. My nephew seemed to have a real sense of accomplishment after helping to put it together, and he can do it over and over again (and get better at assembling it himself) if you want to put it away when not in use. It's also a nice place to store toys, stuffed animals, etc. when not in use.
I've gotten this item for a few of my friends' children and they all come back with rave reviews. I've seen a couple of other cardboard items for kids to play with - houses, rockets, etc. - but I like this one in particular because it's MADE in the USA (which is very important to me), and 5% of profits go back to feeding hungry kids. Plus it's much more stylish than others on the market.
I hope that the company starts to produce accessories for the house!
