lv2shp says "A very fun game!" about Hasbro Elefun - The Butterfly Catchin' Game

lv2shp — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 02:35:35 GMT

Even though this toy is kind of a hassle, my kids love to play with it. When they were really little, they could not catch any of the butterflies, but now that they are a little bigger, they catch a few. It definately needs to have more butterflies, as you have to re-load the elephant a lot! For little children, an adult must be present at all times to help re-load, as the kids cannot get the head off the elephant. And once the butterflies are all loaded in the head and it put back on, an adult needs to stand up and straighten out the very long trunk of the elephant so that the butterflies may fly out.

All though with all the work, my kids have a BLAST running around and trying to catch the butterflies with their nets, and I guess that's all that matters! It really is a fun toy for kids!

lv2shp says "Another great Fisher Price toy!" about Little People School Bus

lv2shp — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 02:21:58 GMT

This is another great must have toy from Fisher Price. My kids loved pushing down on the driver and making the bus play the song Wheels on the Bus, and listening to the driver talk. They loved watching the lights flash and moving the stop sign out and in. They loved the little people that came with it, and used them to play with all of their other Fisher Price toys. The doors were a little hard for them to open and close, so I always had to help them with that, but they never fell off or broke.

A great durable toy that I would highly recommend.

lv2shp says "Great alternative to throwaway party cups!" about Disney Pixar Cars 16 Oz. Party Cup

lv2shp — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 02:11:56 GMT

I bought these cups for all the kids at my son's birthday party instead of buying the cheap throw away cups. They all enjoyed them a lot more and they were able to take them home as one of their party favors.

My son's cup has lasted now for the past three years. They are dishwasher safe and very durable. My son loves his - would highly recommend this cup!

lv2shp says "My kids loved this toy!" about Fisher-Price Dora the Explorer: My Talking Backpack

lv2shp — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 02:00:43 GMT

My two kids (boy and girl) loved playing with this toy! When they were really little, they sometimes had a hard time getting the toys in and out of the backpack. But I think it helped them learn how to turn the pieces just right to get them in and out. They loved taking the toys in and out and putting them back in again (I think that was their favorite), but they actually played with the toys as well. They would go around the house "taking pictures" with the play camera, and looking at everything they could through the binoculars and magnifying glass. I don't think the little bracelet would ever stay on my daughter's wrist, but she didn't care. They also loved pushing the button and making the toy talk.

This is a great toy for any little child with a great imagination who loves purses/bags that hold it's own little toys.

lv2shp says "Great durable must have toy for little boys!" about Fisher-Price Grow to Pro Basketball

lv2shp — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 01:42:25 GMT

My son has had this basketball hoop since he was 2 - he is now almost 6. He absolutely loves it! He plays basketball with it all the time. When he first got it at age 2, we kept it in his room. We moved it outside about 3 years ago, where it is easier for him and his friends to run around and play basketball. This basketball hoop is completely out in the elements outside, and has been for 3 years straight and there is not a thing wrong with it! It is just as perfect as the day we got it! Being that it is left outside, I have had to replace the net ONCE, for a VERY minimal cost (less than $1).

I highly recommend this basketball net for anyone with a little boy. It has an easy height adjustment, that grows with your child. My son has had this for almost four years now, and I see him playing with it for at least another four more.

Very durable - can withstand the elements being left outside - grows with your child - can be used for many years - a must have!

lv2shp says "A must see - this movie will go down in history as a classic!" about Toy Story

lv2shp — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 01:17:24 GMT

This is one of the greatest animated movies! We never get tired of watching it! I absolutely guarantee no one could ever dislike this movie - it is great for all ages! The actors who provide the voices of the characters were chosen perfectly! They all could not be any funnier!

My son owns both the Buzz and Woody costumes and every one of the charater talking (and non-talking) toys. His wanting all these toys came from his total enjoyment of the movie.

I highly recommend you buy this movie for your collection.

lv2shp says "I would have killed to have this doll house when I was little!" about Kid Kraft Fashion Deluxe House Set with Furniture

lv2shp — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 04:02:41 GMT

This is a great doll house! My daughter has tons of fun with it! It is so huge and has lots of space to play. She loves it because the floors are large enough for barbie dolls - which is all she puts in it. It comes with a bunch of furniture (also barbie doll sized) and has lots of room to add more. I buy barbie furniture and accessories every time I see them on sale.

The only drawback to our doll house is that one of the floors is warped. It's not that noticible, but my daughter has to arrange her kitchen furniture a special way, or the cabinets with the food will not stay closed when they are on the "hill". I bought my doll house from a liquidation dealer for an unbelievably great price. I'm sure that a reputible dealer would not sell one with a warped floor.

I would (and have) recommend this doll house to everyone I know. It's so great! My daughter has hours of fun with it! I literally would have killed to have this doll house in my room when I was a little girl!...

My daughter LOVES this doll house. It has tons of space and it is large enough for barbie dolls - which she uses it soley for. It comes with a bunch of furniture, and has space to add a lot more. I buy barbie doll furniture and accessories everytime I see it on sale.

The only drawback to our dollhouse, is the one I bought (which I got at a super bargain) has one warped floor. It's not that noticible, but my daughter has to arrange her kitchen furniture a special way, or the cabinets with the food will stay open and won't close if they are on the "hill". I bought mine from a liquidation store - I'm sure that a reputible dealer would not sell them with warped floors.

lv2shp says "My kids love this game!!!" about Hasbro Hi Ho Cherry-O Counting Game

lv2shp — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 03:21:44 GMT

This is a very fun game - although it is sometimes hard for little ones to handle the very small cherries and get them to stay put in the trees. My daughter decided that if you turn the cherries upside down (stems going into the hole) that they stay better. My kids love to play this game! We have had this game for several years now, and have not lost any cherries!...

lv2shp says "My kids love this game - although it is VERY noisy!!!" about Hasbro Lucky Ducks Matching Game

lv2shp — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 23:05:03 GMT

My kids love to play this game, but I can't stand the noise it makes! I have to remove the batteries (not an easy task - requires screwdriver) before we put it away, or else it will make the awful noise as soon as you put the lid on the box - no on/off button on this game. I put packing tape over the speaker, which muffled the sound a little, but it is still very loud! If you're looking for a fun game - this is it. But if you can't stand noisey toys - stay away from this one!
