Customer Review: A great game for young academic kids
My five and a half year-old son received Cadoo for the holidays and loves it. He is reading early and loves to read the cards. He can’t answer all the questions but I see him playing by himself so I think he’s learning all the answers. The game cards, see below, are our favorite part. The instructions are very clear and there is little chance involved. We’ve had trouble playing other games, like Chutes and Ladders, with my son because he wants something with a strategy. With Cadoo, he gets to participate and be rewarded.

Transformers Energon: Omega Supreme TRANSFORMERS: ENERGON - OMEGA SUPREME features the epic battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, and each side has a formidable new addition. True to his Autobot nature, Wingsaber embodies the idea of teamwork as he Powerlinks with Optimus Prime. Meanwhile, Shockblast has escaped from his prison cell on Cybertron and is wreaking havoc in the name of the Decepticons - but his real goal is to steal the throne from Megatron. Episodes include: Crash Course, Omega Supreme, A Heroic Battle, The Power of Unicron
Customer Review: Unicron Lives!……..Again…
In this disc, the episodes include the introduction of Omega Supreme and Roablock, the Re-birth of Unicron, and the death of two characters, who I won’t mention if you do not know and don’t want it spoiled. These episodes mainly concern Unicron’s re-birth and possessing both Megatron and Shockblast. These are some great Energon episodes, but again, they skip episodes and it interferes with continuity

Customer Review: WEBKINZ ROCK!
My husband’s family is big and I had no idea what to give to the little ones. Fortunately I bumped against the webkinz at Amazon’s website and luckyly I had the curiosity to check it out. I read several reviews (Kid’s reviews are a lot of fun to read.) After several reviews I knew what they where all about and decided they could make a good Christmas gift. Got the tiger, the lion, the pig, the elephant and the googles. They all are very cute. Usually kids have more than one webkinz, so I figured that in a way or another my gift was going to be welcome anyway. Webkinz where such a success! I was able to give all the 5 grandnephews the same type of gift (didn’t want to provoke jealousy… among them) Webkinz is recomended for children from 3 to 12 years old. Therefore it covered pretty much all my ground. It’s nice to know Webkinz are ALWAYS welcome!!!
Customer Review: What a great toy for boys and girls!
My daughter received a webkinz dog for her Birthday. She loves it so much that I purchased a Lion for her cousin’s Birthday who lives in another state. They both miss eachother. So now he and my daughter can play games together and even chat with eachother online in a safe place with my supervision.

Safe, mounting hardware, batteries
Customer Review: Great safe for the money
We’re required to lock up our checks, so we needed a safe. This was one of the most inexpensive with most features and best reviews. So far, so good. It works great and is small enough that I can find different places to bolt it down.
Customer Review: Caution - this safe is NOT fire-proof!
When entering a search on Amazon for a fireproof safe, the Honeywell #2050 is the first one to pop up. Wrong!
It is NOT fireproof. It is only anti-theft. Based on the assumption that the fireproof feature was a given, we ordered two for our married children. Needless to say, both had to be returned. Surely Amazon could fine-tune their search results more effectively.

Customer Review: Great gift for 6-7 year olds
We have given this gift for birthday presents several times. It is a good old-fashioned game, i.e., not electronic, not superheros, not spawned by a TV show.
Customer Review: Awesome
I first played this game at summer camp. All of my friends and I used to fight over who would play. This went on from the beginning to the end and then I wanted to buy it. This toy never gets old. It is fun for all ages and you will just want to keep playing and playing …

Waterproof Foldable Keyboard With Large Letters This standard size keyboard is water and dust resistant. The characters are bold and large, making this computer keyboard not only durable but user friendly. Can be rolled for storage. Comes with a USB connector and measures 18 1/2 inches x 5 inches.
Customer Review: Very nice! Definitely Worth the Money!!!!!!!
This keyboard is great! Feels absolutely wonderful under your fingertips and very easy to read. No need to bang the keys - these keys have just the right sensitivity. I could type all day!
Y’know /toy/…for as little sense as these make, and as non-acurate they are…I still like the “kid” line of Dark Knight toys. Especially Fusion Force Batman.

Kid-Tough Digital Camera Case - Blue Wheres the best place to keep your Kid-ToughTMDigital Camera? In this case! Its lightweight and easy to carry, with plenty of room for your Kid-ToughTM Digital Camera, USB cord and extra items (sold separately).Camera case measures just slightly larger than the camera, which is approx. 5 ” W x 4″ H.
Customer Review: Camera case
I purchased this to hold and protect my sons camera. It is good and easy too use. He is able to open and close it with no problems. I agree with the others though that it needs a handle. He has to carry it with both hands because thre is no handle on it.
Customer Review: Not bad, a custom case for the Kid Tough camera, but you get what you pay for
This is an adequate impulse item for those buying the Kid Tough Camera as I did for a 2007 Christmas present. The pink case is a very light shade of pink, almost not pink at all. Lack of a handle costs it a star, but form-fitting to the camera and an internal pocket for the USB cord or extra batteries is handy. Though it’s a light case, which will not prevent crushing damage to the camera, it does keep dust off the lens and camera controls. $14.97 at Wal-mart as of this writing.

LeapFrog Leapster L-Max™ Educational Game: Letters on the Loose With the new L-Max adventure titled Letters On The Loose, your child will have a blast while learning the alphabet! When the letters in the Letter Factory get loose, Professor Quigley needs your help to pull them all together! Features 26 fun gameswhere your child will learn letter names and sounds, until they’ve mastered all the letters in the alphabet.
Customer Review: A great learning game, especially for learning to write letters
This game’s strong point is that it helps children learn to write the letters, both upper and lower case. Of course for the younger kids, it would help with letter recognition, and what sound the letters make… so there is something for everyone with this game, no matter what skill level they would be starting with.
