Shop For Alex Toys Paper Plate Bugs, Alex Little Hands Art Series

My daughter received this as a gift for her fourth birthday. We did the first bug project this afternoon, and although she was happy with the finished product, there were some frustrations along the way. There is no way these projects can be done exclusively with the included gluestick. In fact, we used the glue stick very little. Instead we used packing tape and some tacky glue to help hold everything together. I think a stapler probably would have been helpful too. The plates are tricky to join together because they don't lay completely flat. I did most of the "assembly" and she did the decorating. For the price, this does seem like a good option for kids who like to do projects.Get more detail about Alex Toys Paper Plate Bugs, Alex Little Hands Art Series.

Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe Review

Pros:
-looks really fun
-done better, could be quite entertaining
-"cone" and "sundae" components are especially appealing

Cons:
-virtually impossible to clean (because most of it can't be taken apart), and once play-doh dries in there, the moving parts no longer work and the toy becomes unusable
-no way a child under about age 6 could do either of the 2 side "presses" unassisted (my almost 4 year old was able to do the main press without help)
-can't be taken apart once assembled, and it's a bulky, awkward shape that takes up lots of space

Overall, a waste of money.Get more detail about Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe.

Buddha Board This instant

I bought one of these for my Grandson to keep "Him" busy during my wedding reception dinner. What a hit!!! My guests played with it more then my Grandson! Loved it. I also bought one for my sister in law because she enjoyed it so much. Great for young and old alike. Read directions carefully. You MUST not let water collect on the bottom of the board. It does not drip off and causes damage to the board.Get more detail about Buddha Board.

Red Toolbox T003 Hand Saw Best Quality

The low price tempted me. Am I sorry. It's a handsome toy but a lousy saw. I'd caution that the blade might injure a child so I question its value even as a toy.Get more detail about Red Toolbox T003 Hand Saw.

Crayola 30ct Twistables Colored Pencils Get it now!

These used to be great. I purchased my original package a couple of years ago and really liked these. Upon repurchasing in 4/10, I found the formula changed. The pencils are much softer (almost like crayon) and wear out quickly. I think Crayola did this to make the pencils more erasable.

The biggest problem though is that these pencils break way too easily. The thing that holds the colored pencil in the plastic case simply breaks causing the entire 5" length of colored pencil to slide right out of the plastic twistable case. Unfortunately, once that happens the pencil can't be fixed and has to be thrown out.

My advice: stick with the traditional colored pencils and spend your money on a good quality battery operated or electric pencil sharpener instead.Get more detail about Crayola 30ct Twistables Colored Pencils.
