Looks Cute... as it falls apart.

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 18:29:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tmvetter - I gave this to my son as part of his Easter present and it has been the vain of my days since. He tried so hard to put it together. His father tries so hard to help him. And yet it falls apart in the midst of it each and every time. Is it the blocks...

Playful, Fun and ... Strong

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tmvetter - This is a brightly colored first stage puzzle for little hands to do once they are past those chunky puzzles or ones with wood pegs. Not too busy or distracting. Pieces are a good size. The pets are adorable, cartoon like. The pieces are made of wood...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tmvetter - I have a couple of these cups so I know that my problem with them is universal and not due to a faulty one. I am surprised actually that there are so many positive reviews since other sites I have seen have 90% of people agreeing that these cups spill...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tmvetter - My mother-in-law boasted the benefits of Oxy Clean long before I gave it a try. She spilled dark, navy blue paint on her light tan carpet... Oxy Clean (in a paste form) got it out. Whatever she did! Oxy Clean got it out. I decided to give it a try...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tmvetter - We received this game for our three year olds birthday. He also got the typical board games - Chutes And Ladders and Candyland. This is by far his favorite. By far! Every single day it is pulled out. And so far neither of us, his parents, have...

So much better then regular Peek-a-blocks!

Sat, 27 Jan 2007 14:30:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tmvetter - When my son was a baby we bought him Peek-a-Blocks and found them to be not that much fun. If he tried to stack them with his uncoordinated baby hands they would fall. They were kind of big and hard to grasp for such tiny fingers. So, we discouraged...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tmvetter - We received two Leap Frog Little Touch LeapPads for my sons first birthday. We did want one so we were excited. I immediately pulled it out of the package and put in the book that it came with, "One Bear in the Bedroom." It seemed like a great...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tmvetter - We donated a lot of stuff to a nonprofit rummage sale this year and decided to buy a deduction software to itemize it for our taxes. We chose DeductionPro because we already use the TaxCut software for our taxes and they are compatible. We found a deal...
