Wild Planet Mickey's Mouse-ke-TAG

I had my niece for 10 days so bought this toy for her. I thought it was a great toy and would be alot of fun. She is just turning 3 and she enjoyed it but the couple times we played she would start and do it a couple times and then want me to do it all the time. She would tell me where to run though! I think if you had a couple kids it would be really fun, I would not consider it a toy that most kids would play by themselves. It seems to be well built and encourages some thinking and physical activity as well. There is a hide and seek mode but we didn't try it. I Don't know how much she'll play it at home so a little hard to review it properly.

Fisher-Price® Little People® Lil' Mover™ Dump Truck

He loves it, I think it's pretty good. It sings a little dump truck song that I find annoying but he likes a lot. It's not too loud, which is nice. It also makes some truck noises. It has a plastic dirt pile in the back which is weird; it's just molded plastic that looks like dirt. My son basically took it out and got rid of it. He finds other things to put in the truck that are more interesting. He really, really likes this truck.

Fisher-Price My First Dollhouse

my daughter LOVES this dollhouse. Its for C-mas, but I got it out to make sure everything was there. Well, my 17 mo old saw it and LOVED it, even when it was not all put together. When I tried to box it up, she threw a fit. The people are just the right size for chubby toddler hands. The chairs are a little hard for a toddler to get one of the people to sit in them. There are also a few sounds, but not so many that it discourages imagination.

Beleduc From Egg to Frog 5-Layer Puzzle

I bought this puzzle as a holiday gift for my two year old son and while he's a bit young for a layer puzzle he still enjoys seeing what's on each level and will have fun using it as he gets a bit older. This puzzle seems to be very well made and I have no doubt that it will hold up to use by both my toddler and his little brother when he gets bigger.

Games for Ball Track 1136 - by HABA

My kids (6 and 3) love this. They can play with this alone or in conjunction with the Haba ball track (also great). It is definitely recommended if you have the Haba ball track - it adds a whole new dimension of fun. If your kids like the ball track and like games, get this. Makes for great family fun when we can all play together, and great fun for them on their own when we can't help with the ball track.

Ball Track Construction Kit

This is a minor issue for us, but may bother some. We just adjust it and carry on. Honestly, given that it is a wooden block building set, we expected this to be part of the process (ever try to keep an intricate wooden block tower perfectly square?). Even though the pieces are heavy, as the marbles travel the blocks will slide a bit over each other.

Prince Lionheart Balance Bike

Anyway as far as performance, me and my two and a half year old son were very happy with it. I can't imagine the [...] LIke-a-bikes being much better than this one costing less then 1/3 the price. I was impressed with my son hopping on and pushing himself along with no problem. I would think he'll be lifting his feet soon and can see this being his favorite toy as we scoot around town. I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone interested in getting his child to learn to ride a bike.
