Little Mommy Toddler Play All Day Activity Center Review

Little Mommy Toddler Play All Day Activity Center

This thing is cute. Not perfect, but cute and a great deal of fun.
My daughter (6) got the Little Mommy toddler this holiday season and also this Play Center, and I have to say that she would NOT have fallen in love with the doll without this add-on. There are just so many fun 'mommy' activities. For one there is a slide, a white board, a cell phone, storage area for LM Toddler's special food, a clock, a high chair, and most importantly (who knew? ;-) a potty.
Now if you don't already know, the doll talks and has some sort of system that uses magnets to give her input, so that when you hold food up to her mouth, for example, she makes eating noises; and if she goes down the slide, she goes wheeee; and when on the potty she says something to the effect of 'I did it, mommy'.
Cons -
--I would only pay the discounted amount here and not the full one. The toy is cute and cool, but not THAT cool.
--The slide has this propensity to come apart, but it's easy -at least for a six y.o.-- to put it back together.
--For younger children you should know the white board works and that the marker marks. I don't know about you, but when my children were two, they would have put the marker in their mouth.
--The high chair is difficult to use. The tray doesn't slide and its hard to stuff the doll in. It is also a little difficult for me to put the tray on.
Pro's -
-- The slide and the potty make her talk.
-- There's storage room for the doll's special food.
-- There's a place for the cell phone and marker to go.
-- The white board really works. My daughter uses it to 'teach' her new darling math and reading. She uses the clock to practice telling time.
Four Stars. Not perfect but a lot of fun. I am sooo glad we bought this. It really made the Little Mommy experience complete. There are plenty of activities and chances to practice being a mommy of an older child. Finally, and pretty darned importantly, I would say that it is only worth the sale amount.

Crayola Presto Dots to the Max Review

The recommended age on this Model Magic is 5 and up, which I think is accurate. My daughter is 3 1/2 and, while I knew she would love the characters pictured, I wasn't sure if she'd be able to create them. She couldn't. But that's OK... we had fun trying anyway, and she made her own creature without using the tools.
I found that the "dots" work as described-- you press down on the clay with a tool, give a little twist, and it picks up a small piece that you can then press onto your figure. About half the time, it took two or three tries instead of one to pick it up, but it was still easy enough to do it. The kit leaves room for creativity, and the clay is fun to work with. It does have a consistency sort of like pulled marshmallows, but it doesn't leave sticky residue on your hands. The finished products can be set out to display or given to proud grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.
BUT-- here's the big negative.
On the bottom of the box is this warning: "Crayola Model Magic contains colorants which may stain."
Uh, yeah.
A small piece of clay got stuck to a stuffed animal, and despite how valiantly I tried to pick it out with my nails, or wash it out, it didn't work. I had to cut the fur off the stuffed animal to get it out. And my daughter also left a damp washcloth on top of a piece of clay. It stained and will not come out.
It's a big enough pain getting play dough out of carpets and socks and clothing; this is worse. This is a nightmare. So that's another reason why I strongly suggest either buying this only for older kids who can be trusted not to get it stuck in bad spots, or supervising VERY closely and keeping all fabric/stuffed toys/etc. away from the play table.
