Your Baby Can Read
Starter DVD
|
It kept my daughters
attention the entire
time it was on!
The DVD run time is
about 20 minutes.
A
|
My daughter could
read about 5 of the
words after watching
the movie everyday
for two weeks.

I didn't let my
daughter handle
the DVD directly.

Busy Ball Popper
Hasbro Playskool
|
She loved the obnoxious
music and watching
the balls pop out, but
when the balls would
land on the ground,
she got distracted.
The toy kept her attention
less than 5 minutes
each time, but she did
like to push the big red
button a lot.
B
|
I counted the balls
as they came out of
the popper. I also
told her what color
each of the balls were.
Teaches gross
motor skills by having
kids put the balls
back into the hole.

|
It uses D batteries,
which are a pain.
The balls are easy
to lose.

Shape Sorting Cube
Melissa and Doug
|
She loved figuring out
which shapes go in
which holes. It kept
her attention very well.
The toy seemed to be
her favorite for at least
a few days. She played with it
for about 10 minutes each
time we got it out.
A-
|
A great toy for
teaching children
problem solving,
matching, and
fine motor skills.
A-
|
The paint is already
starting to wear off
of some of the shapes.
The lid is really loose,
so you have to be
careful not to
lose any shapes.

Rocking Horse
Little Tykes
|
This was one of her least
favorite toys. She was
bored with it by
the second day
we had it, which was
very suprising.
C-
|
Children will learn
how to move their
body and balance
to get the horse to
rock.
C+
|
Very durable.
There are no parts
to lose, and the
plastic construction
seems well made.

Little People Ferris Wheel
Fisher-Price
|
She loves to spin
the ferris wheel
and listen to the
very repititve music.
It held her attention
less than 10 minutes,
but she loved to push
on it to hear the music.
B
|
A great toy for you
to introduce
children to new
vocabulary, and
get them practicing
gross motor skills.
B
|
We already lost
the fun house
mirror attachment.
The rest seems to
be holding up
well.
