Melissa & Doug Shut-the-Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After seeing a shut the box game at my friend's house, I purchased this Melissa & Doug version for my son's 6th birthday. We love playing this game; he thoroughly enjoys it and asks to play it. We have only had it for a few weeks, but it seems like it will be durable enough. This a great coffee table game for adults, as well as beginning "adders"!

It includes two dice, a convenient storage pouch and a detailed instruction booklet. Measures 12.7" x 9" x 3".

Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Toy Story To 100 + Beyond Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 3yo loves her clickstart computer and this is one of her favorite games. When you enter the game's menu you have the choice between 3 characters. Then you have to choose between 3 locations: Andy's house, the street, or the pizza place. All the locations are the same thing with different scenery. A number will be displayed at the top of the screen and, using arrow keys, the player will have to touch that number...which will release "aliens". Then the player has to "collect" those aliens. If the player runs into a wrong number then the game will say something like "that is the number 7, you are looking for the number 5" (this is in level 1). So the player learns numbers.
This game is great because the player can jump on furniture and use special tools (paperclip, bouncy box, etc) to get launched into the air. Plus it teaches numbers and collecting the aliens is fun.
It is a disappointment because all the other game cartridges offer 3 different games...this one offers the same game with choice of 3 characters and 3 different scenes.
Should you buy it...yes. For the simple fact that kids love it and it is educational. But could the writers have done a better job with the game selection...absolutely.

Early Learning Centre / Cash Register & Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cash register is great fun, but if you are from the US, there's not much educational value. The currency and on screen monetary values are in pounds, pence, etc. This is not mentioned in the description, but when I went back and looked closely at the picture, it does show the money in pounds. I would expect this to be clearly explained in the description.

Melissa & Doug Classic Wooden Abacus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before we got a chance to review the instructions, my 51/2 yr old had begun to use the abacus for counting, adding, subtraction and even making pictures!!! My 2 yr old also enjoys the beads for colors and counting. Exactly what we'd hoped for! It's sturdy and large enough to be fun yet easily handled by the youngest.

Learning Resources Teaching Cash Register Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter got this for her birthday (3 years old). Even though she is not old enough yet to really count the money she has had a blast "ringing things up" on the scanner and paying with the credit card. She also really likes the coin slot. When she puts the money in it tells her what the coin was. She has done this over and over again. She is also having fun going around the house collecting items in her shopping cart and then ringing them up.
I can see this being a toy she will play with for many years. It has math games that seem like they will be fun and educational. Very nice, oh, and my dad observed that the coin slot works with real coins too!
The negatives... The drawer shoots out quickly and the plastic coins tend to slosh out. Also the weighing tray comes off easily. I'm going to put that away till my daughter gets a little older.
Overall- a great toy!
