She spent hours on the phone answer questions and after he decided that Ashford was the school that he wanted to attend, they connected him with the financial aid department and his aid went through and his classes started within a week. Each class is 5...

My daughter got her first set of these last fall and then a bunch for Christmas as well.  We have some of the playsets that go with them, but she plays with them without all of the accessories all of the time.  The magnetic spot on the bottom is a fantastic feature.  I know when she has been playing with them because I will find a stray one hanging off of the fridge, or zooming around the house on the handle bars of her scooter.  Not only do these stick around, but they promote imagination.  — These are one item that when my daughter asks for a toy, I know that I am not going to spend a arm and a leg on them.  I have discovered that they sell these at my local dollar store for $2 for the singles or $5 for the tube of 3.  Santa will be dropping a few of these into my daughter stocking this year. —...
