Customer Review: fun fun fun




my daughter loves to hide out in this thing, and then her little sis helps rip it apart and they start all over again. it's great for us cos we don't have a yard; a tree house alternative!




Customer Review: We LOVE it!




Our 5 year old daughter really enjoys playing with this tent/ fort. She has put it up almost every day since Christmas and is really getting the hang of it; I am sure she'll be doing it solo soon except for the tall parts. It is quite large and she enjoys making a house for herself to play inside of it. The "games" are ok, but the tent itself is the main event.

Cranium - Cranium Puzzles Plus - Take Me to the Carnival

Cranium Puzzles Plus - Take Me to the Carnival





Cranium Puzzles Plus - Take Me to the Carnival


With Puzzles Plus Seek & Find, the puzzle is only half the fun! Put the pieces together, draw cards, and hunt for fun pictures in your completed puzzle. When you find what you?re looking for, circle it with the dry-erase marker.




Customer Review: Fun for Everyone - a Great Buy!




We recently purchased this puzzle as a holdover between the younger board games like Candyland and the ones that are still a bit old like Monopoly Junior. We are thrilled with this puzzle. Not only do the kids love putting it together, but even we can get involved in the "Where's Waldo" kind of seek-and-find action with the included cards. Your kids will never know they're solidifying concepts like color, number, and phonics while they play and you'll never know you're playing with a kids' toy! Another great Cranium series.




Customer Review: what i think




I really like this puzzle. It is very entertaining for my daughter (3) and educational at the same time. The things on the cards to be found in the puzzle once completed vary in difficulty, and there are enough of them to have some new things to look for after putting the puzzle together several times. I think I will be purchasing more of these puzzles for my daughter.

Cranium - Cranium® Mega Fort

Cranium® Mega Fort


Cranium® Mega Fort


Customer Review: Top Drawer, But A Bit Wobbly




We bought this for our 4 year old's birthday. We saw the superfort by Cranium, but opted for the Megafort - a wise decision!!! I think that the limited pieces of the superfort would have been frustrating for the kids.






It was easy for them to link the parts with the little magnetic connectors, and they went nuts creating all the strangest structures imaginable. Overall it's a hit.






Having said that, our boys (3 of them) love their forts, and the darker, more cave-like the better. However, we found that it isn't really that sturdy. There is a limited number of nylon-type "wall panels" to hide from the surrounding world, so we thought we could suppliment with blankets..... wrong! It will knock the building over due to the excess weight, after all it's wobbly even without the non-cranium blankets.






Our next task is to look for extra wall panels, I'm sure that I can either buy "cranium" ones or look at Wal-Mart for something that would do the trick.






It seems durable, but only time will tell.




Cheers.




Customer Review: Super Fort = Super Fun!!!




I purchased this product for my 5 yr old step son. He and his brother (8 yrs) play with this fort all of the time. They are either playing in it, around it, or with it! They have a blast creating different environments! If they're having fun, I am having fun. The only things that kept this fort from receiving 5 stars is the lack of sturdiness, even though I don't think it matters because a 5 yr old will knock anything down no matter how sturdy. I think it should also have a couple more cloth shades and clips (at least enough to go around all sides of the basic fort design). Other than that, I completely recommend this product.

Customer Review: Great Game




This game is one of the best board games out there. With expansion card packs so that after extensive play, you can get new questions (so they can't be memorized)






The only reason I gave this 4 stars rather than 5 is because the one I recieved had moldy clay... Seriously moldy... Pretty gross and so I had to throw it out and buy more clay...




Customer Review: Best Game Ever




This is the best game to play with friends and family. Age doesn't matter. It rocks.

Customer Review: Make sure you get a new one!




The item I received had obviously been used and returned. The edges of the toy were a little scratched and worn and all of the pieces had been put in the box without any kind of packaging. Still waiting on the replacement.




Customer Review: Stir the imagination!




I purchased this for my 5-year-old son as a Christmas present and it was one of the best choices I made. Not only does he love drawing pictures and recording stories (and songs), but its lightweight profile has made it a must have for travel. We took it on the plane, into restaurants (with the rule that no playing with the recorder at the table), etc.
