Baby loves this toy but so does our dog. As you hit the plunger it spins faster and faster shooting very light flimsy balls out the top hole. Too much for the family dog who has managed to crush all 3 of the balls that came with the toy.Get more detail about Playskool Explore and Grow Tumble N Twirl.

I was shocked to see this required not any batteries! :)

I have gotten the travel size being strapped on cash to spend on games. I got this to enjoy with my 6 year-old, but I can have SOOOOO much fun on my own as well! I just now at 33 years young of age playing this. My child has fun with this, and gets a kick out of the pieces popping out.

You only have THIRTY seconds to complete the puzzle. Be careful, as their are two half circles and S-shapes to appropriately fit. The education comes in where and how to match the shapes, and a couple of them, sizes as well. Also teach how to make most of the time and getting as much done as possible when working on a time-limit. You know, like, when you need for your child to hurry but they don't, and when you need for them to take their time, they don't? It teaches how to work with time and being on the clock.

Other reviewers are correct in saying young children need surpervision so they don't put in their mouths the small pieces and choke as it does cause choking hazzards.

I'm not sure if I would recommend this for being on the road in a moving vehicle, just because the pieces pop out; however, it is awesome for taking it away from home since it requires little space in the suitcase, or perfect for Dr. Office visits....Get more detail about Perfection.

These are fun toys, but not the best of the bunch.

Cons:

1. There are eight rotating barrels, and eight darts with the gun, so if you lose one, your down a barrel.
2. The cocking mechanism is on the top, and is often hard to reach quickly and comfortably
3. the butt stock is very uncomfortable against the shoulder, leaves my arm sore after a while
4. the fore-grip has no place to grip with your offhand, leaving your hand wandering aimlessly.
5. The glow in the dark dark darts.... don't... You have to apply cheap glow-stickers to the darts to make them really glow, otherwise the tiny tips are all that glows.
6. The gun is very weak, it only shoots about 7-10 feet effectively before your aiming at a full 45 degree angle just to arc your darts to the target.
7. the flash Function that "charges" the glowing darts requires two AA batteries and Only works about every fifth time you pull trigger (or about once every 20-30 seconds really... )
8. The gun itself does not emit any light except when the trigger is pulled and only if the internal capacitor is charged. The pictures have the thing looking like its lit up like a Christmas tree.

Pros:
1: It has the ability to fire VERY rapidly, given your ability to cock, aim and pull the trigger in rapid succession.. there is no mechanical limitation to to limit the speed at which it fires.
2: Though not accurate, the gun is extremely reliable and Consistent... which means if it shoots to the left once, it will likely do it the other 7 times you shoot it also, but it will shoot 8 times every time.


Overall very fun, but awfully dissapointing.

I bought this as a Christmas present for our 7y/o and he was SHOCKED!!!!!!!! He was so pleased, and he was able to transform 95% on his own. Dad had to get the front, and doors put together, but not a big deal!!! Absolutely no problems with this item!Get more detail about Transformers Movie 2 Ultimate Bumblebee.

Just wanted to add that Amazon says this is for 36 months, the box says 4 yrs old. I am disappointed that the age is not correct. I feel a bit silly giving this as a present for a 3 yr old b-day, when the box states it is for ages 4+. Last time I checked 36 months was 3 yrs.Get more detail about Noodleboro Fun Park Sharing Game.

As a kid my parents bought this for me and I was fascinated by the pewter pieces, the property cards, and all the other pieces. It held promises of infinite fun. When I finally played it it at 10 it was ok but we didn't finish. Fast forward 16 years and after 20 minutes the game board me to tears (pun intended). The problem is after a while the game relies on luck for you to land on the unbought properties. There is another version of Monotony that has a special die which speeds up the game greatly by allowing you to advance to the next unowned property. That made the game more bearable but still it's not something I'd ever play again.

If you have never played this game I STRONGLY recommend you play it at least once with someone before buying your own copy. Otherwise, don't waste your money. There are a lot of other games that are MUCH more fun and enjoyable, including many "Euro" style that have more depth and background. My copy of Monotony is going to Goodwill next time I go there.

My recommendations

Party: Buzzword, Catchphrase, Cheroodles, Pictionary,
Cinemaplexity, Taboo, The Great Dalmuti, Too Many Cooks

Trivia: Wits and Wagers, NewsHound, In Pursuit

Euro Style (requires a bit more thought but have much more depth): Carcassonne, Shadows Over Camelot, Ticket to Ride, Agricola

If the cost of the diapers seem high. My daughter says that she stocked up on newborn size at the dollar storeGet more detail about Hasbro Baby Alive Diapers Accessory Pack.

THERE IS A DVD THAT COMES WITH THE PRODUCT THAT WAS NOT IN MY PACKAGE. I CALLED HASBRO AND THEY WHERE VERY NICE BUT THEY DO NOT MAKE THE TOY ANYMORE. I CAN GET SOMETHING ELSE WHICH I AM GOING TO DO BUT REALLY WANTED TO TRY THIS WITH MY GRAND KIDS. IT LOOKED LIKE FUN. DO NOT SHOP ON LINE VERY MUCH AND AFTER THE FEW THINGS I HAVE PURCHASED THIS CHRISTMAS I AM GOING BACK TO THE OLD FASHION WAY. I WANT TO SEE THE PRODUCT BEFORE I BUY IT!!

Our 5 year old grandson loves this item! We had a great time with the mixes, then improvising. If the oven included a timer, and the 100 watt bulb (hard to find & no longer made after 2012?) the experience would be perfect.

I work for an after school program in an elementary school and all of the kids love this game. They get frustrated if they lose too much but that goes without saying. But they learn a lot of strategies while playing, how to set it up so they win from both sides and gradually they learn to actually think of a strategy ahead of time. The Kindergarteners and 1st graders aren't that great but the second through fourth graders get to be pretty good. Our program has over 40 kids and we had to get a second one because it's a favorite among them. It also comes with rules on how to play different versions which I'm not use to so don't do but it can be fun and a new craze is playing butterfly which is when they are allowed to put two pieces in a once. Overall an amazing thinking game and lots of fun, I would def. recommend it. Get more detail about Connect 4.

Goes great with the Nerf gun I bought for my 4 year old. He loves the gun with the multiple shots. Great product.Get more detail about Hasbro Nerf Dart Tag Refill Pack: 30 Tagger Micro Darts.

a very nice gun, its an automatic better than the vulcan because it does not jam Get more detail about Hasbro Nerf Dart Tag Mag Strike Red.

We got Kota for my 3 year old this Christmas and thus far it has been THE favorite toy. He loves this beast! He spends so much time making him growl and wag his tail; feeding time takes an hour to fully accomplish. Truly worth the money and time.

Assembly was very easy as well.

Remember to have the D batteries ready to go and he does got through batteries fairly quickly.

A word of caution..... Kota is BIG (bigger than my black lab) so space could be an issue for you if you have a smaller place to keep him.

ENJOY!Get more detail about Playskool Kota My Triceratops Dinosaur.

This is a fantastic game for group gatherings and parties. There is no real explaining of the rules necessary for most people, just pass it around the room. People can enter and exit the game without disrupting the play. We love it!Get more detail about Electronic Catch Phrase.

Even grown ups enjoy playing this game. We don't usually use the electronic answer buttons though. We like all the different sheets of characters. It keeps it fun. Get more detail about Guess Who Extra.

It's a great interactive toy. My daughter dropped it a few times and it held up well. Still works on the same batteries which were pre-installed from amazon.Get more detail about Furreal Friends Zambi the Baby Elephant.

I remembered playing this game when I was a kid (over 20 years ago). My kids are 6 and 8 and we received a copy of Mouse Trap this year for Christmas. When we opened it, one piece was BROKEN. Not "broken in shipping" - just plain broken - the rest of the pieces were whole and the box was not crushed. The game is not playable if any pieces are broken!

A friend had another copy & lent us their piece to stand in for the broken one. Even then, the other pieces did not fit. The boot is supposed to swing and kick the bucket, but as assembled, it does not come close enough to hit the bucket! We have to slightly bend the lamppost to make the boot come close enough to hit the bucket. Sometimes the marble just falls off the shoddy pieces. For instance, the stairs piece, when locked into position on the board, causes the marble to fall off onto the board instead of into the rain gutter. When completely assembled, and then adjusting all the pieces to make them match up (resulting in a LOT of adjusting and time-wasting), we got the whole thing working only 25% to 50% of the time.

We didn't bother with the board game part of it, everyone knows the fun is is in making the contraption work. But the pieces are now so poorly made and they fit together so badly that it is such a waste of money and time.

Plus I was so frustrated trying to get this thing to work that I said it was "crappy" and now my daughter knows a bad word. Yes, we immediately discussed appropriate language when frustrated. But Milton Bradley is now selling games of crappy quality, no two ways about it!Get more detail about Mousetrap.

My brother got this game for Christmas, and he was immediately disappointed with it. Clue Secrets and Spies is unlike any other Clue game, and as far as I could tell the only similarities it had with the original are the agents' names. We returned this right away when we couldn't even play the game without looking at the instructions. It is way too complicated and lacks a solid objective other than to score the most points through very confusing means. The text messaging feature was worthless to us because it didn't activiate itself until the following day, and when it did every message was duplicated. The instructions didn't even tell how to activate the messaging feature, and they were poorly written (we found a major typo). All in all, this game is very disorganized, and most likely thrown together by a company that hoped to sell it with text messaging feature. Don't buy it.

This was a great birthday present however initially thought guitar had strings but doesn't and that was okay one less thing to break. We did have some shipping issues where we paid for 1-3 day and didn't receive for 3-5 days.Get more detail about Hasbro Power Tour Electric Guitar (Black).

Excellent game!!! Gets people out of their shell and you'll get some crazy answers! HONESTLY NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD IN MY LIFE!!!Get more detail about The Game of Things.

My boys are 4 and 6. I know the age this toy is designed for is a bit older, but I decided to take a chance because my youngest said he wanted a "gun that shoots" for Christmas.

I am not disappointed and neither are they! They play with this endlessly. It's been used every single day since Christmas and I'm sure they will be playing with it well into spring. They love the dart guns and that the darts stick to clothes.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase.Get more detail about Nerf Dart Tag Furyfire 2 Player Set - Green/Orange.

This is the worst toy ever! Send back to CHINA! Do not waste your money! The old Sit N Spins allowed a child to actually sit and spin. This Sit N Spin should be called Sit N Sit. There is an ON OFF switch for the music located under the handle. I suggest never installing the AA batteries (not included). My spouse says the obnoxcious music is OK, but she also says my music needs improvement. The seat is too small!!!! Much smaller than the old traditional Sit N Spins. Playskool, you should be ashamed of yourself! Even your (colors may vary) can't save you on this one.Get more detail about Playskool Musical Sit N Spin (colors may vary).

We've played this game at various friends' parties. This went on sale for $9 here on Amazon so we had to get a copy of our own.

They have different, newer versions of this game but I have no tried those. We've been playing this version over the last few years and have not grown tired of it (which I think is pretty amazing in our world of quick, fleeting satisfaction).Get more detail about Cranium.

This really comes in handy. The other day at breakfast, my brother would not let go of my Eggo. I walked away and came back with my trusted lightsaber and sliced his hand off with it still holding the Eggo. I ate it with his hand so my fingers wouldn't get sticky from the syrup. Needless to say, he doesn't sit down at breakfast with me anymore.

During the summer, my hedges needed trimming and shaping but my trimmer would not fire up. Busted this bad boy out and it sliced through them like butter. Two of the hedges caught fire but luckily, my garden hose was lying next to me and I was able to put both bushes out sustaining only minimal melting damage to the vinyl siding.

Went apple picking last month and took it along to reach those big juicy ones that are higher up on the tree. I eyed a Golden Delicious that was about 12 feet up and must have weighed close to 2 pounds. I jumped and took a whack and the apple came down like a comet. Unfortunately, it also set off a fire that engulfed and charred all 24 acres of the orchard. An 8 year old got blamed for smoking a cigar. We'll have to travel a bit further for apple picking for the next few seasons.

During our divorce hearing this last spring, the judge ordered me to give my ex either the Hummer or the Escalade. I felt that she deserved a little of both. And my trusted lightsager came to the rescue once again. I now drive a Humlade and she drives an Escamer.

All in all, this is a great, handy and helpful tool if used correctly in the proper hands. Just be certain to have a fire extinguisher handy as it sometimes tends to cause fires.

I think this toy is great! All 3 of my girls have fun with it, even my 20 month old loves it. We haven't had any problems and it has been very durable. It folds up nice and doesn't take up a lot of space. I recommend this toy! Get more detail about Littlest pet Shop Daycare Playset.

this is the best first game for the little ones and for the kids at heartGet more detail about Candyland.

The Good:
- It is an interesting concept in that you get to build potentially different designs
- Magnets are involved (it acts as the 'adhesive' that drops all the pieces when under too much weight posturing on any given side), those are always entertaining to the children
- The pieces are colorful
- The base is fairly well-made despite being a simple plastic construction

The Bad:
- The pieces that attach to each other to develop the designs do not connect poorly, in that the connectors are too wide. More often than not you will find that the pieces will fall apart just after a few turns.
- Due to the poor connectors on the pieces, if there is any length whatsoever (i.e. 3 linkages or more), the line will be highly susceptible to swaying, and oftentimes it will sway onto a piece of the base structure and rest upon, which is against the game's rules.
- Generally speaking, it fails to hold the attention of the young, and frustrates the old as the pieces keep falling off due to the poor plastic connector build rather than the 'fun way' of having the magnet dropping.

The Ugly:
- This game is a shining example of poor execution of a concept that may have otherwise resulted in a great family game.
- This has been one of the poorest games made by Parker Brothers, hands down. It is not a functioning game by any standard, and as such should not even be released in its current form.
- I personally could not recommend this game to any other individual, not even as a giveaway.Get more detail about Jenga Max.
