 "Fun with letters" 2009-08-27
By Mrs C (Philadelphia, PA)
My son loves puzzles and figuring out which letter goes in each word card is a lot of fun for him.

The cards and letters are really sturdy.

He spreads all the cards out and goes to town.

Another great toy from Melissa & Doug.

 "Terrific toy!" 2009-08-05
By gran-ma (Brooklyn, NY)
My 28 month old loves this very educational toy. He's learning his letters, learning that they form a word, enjoying playing with it - fun around! Typical Melissa and Doug!

 "Awesome toy!" 2009-08-04
By K. Paskvan (North Pole, Alaska)
My son turns 2 in a couple months. He's been playing with this for a while and it has really helped him learn his letters. If your child likes puzzles, this is a really great toy! The only thing I would change is maybe include some sort of storage for the letters. We store them in the wooden box that comes with the toy, but it would be nice to have a lid for the box.

 "Perfect toy for a 2 year old!" 2009-07-21
By Michelle Frye (Houston, TX)
We just got this for our two year old and it immediately became a favorite toy for both of us. She already knows her letters and is now working on reading. This toy really emphasizes the different letters and how to put them together to make words. This is really great - we will now give it away as a birthday gift to all her little friends. This toy is highly recommended!

 "It's a good idea" 2009-07-10
By B. Coleman (STL, MO)
I liek the puzzles & the kids plat with it often - but I hate that the letters are covered with a lid or some type of plastic that snaps on. The letters are forever getting lost! Drives me crazy! And with a 2 & 4 year old I have a hard enough time trying to keep up with little toy pieces. I put it up now & when they want to play with it, I get it out, but then when they are done - it goes right back! But it's a good buy overall.

 "No idea what the attraction is, but obviously it's there" 2009-08-14
By Cat in TX (Dallas, TX)
My son has loved this toy for the last few months. (He is currently 10 months old.) I have no idea why it is so much fun to hit the sides of a hard plastic box... but it obviously is. He grins, giggles, and plays with it all of the time. For a toy with electronic music, the sound is MUCH less annoying than others in that category. And, luckily for Momma's sanity, there is a small off switch for the sound!

 "I love this toy!!" 2009-08-12
By Grandma (TX)
I'm grandma and I purchased the Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube for my grandbaby. It is precious. The bright colors light up and the music is beautiful. I love the way my grandbaby can choose various instruments to play the melody.



I give this toy 5 stars. It was worth purchasing.





Enjoy!

 "Best Baby Toy EVER" 2009-08-09
By Mitchell Brian
This music cube is the best baby toy I have ever seen. And it was by far our baby's favorite toy.



1. Good Music and Educational. What's more educational than good music for a baby? The six sides include five instruments (flute, french horn, harp, piano, & violin) and the orchestra which plays all five together. What I love is that the instruments can be played separately, or together depending on which ones you touch. You can start one, and then when you press the second it joins the first.



2. Portable and Safe. We loved the smallish size and took the cube with us on planes, car rides, and into restaurants. No sharp edges, no metal. Each corner is covered in a firm rubber (which is also good for chewing on...). Not heavy so if it falls on your little one, no tears. Although light weight, the cube is sturdy and firm enough for your little one to use as a base to lean on. Our baby used the cube not only to lean on, but also to help her stand up.



3. Easy to Use, Good for parents. The cube is one piece, no complicated set-up, and takes just two easy-to-find AA batteries. There is also an on/off switch which is useful when traveling to prevent the music from playing continually in your luggage bag. The music is NOT annoying, nor particually loud. And if you want to stop or change the tune, just touch the side that is playing at that time and it will immediately stop.



Fun for your baby, educational, good for parents-- I highly recommend this toy for any parent with a baby.

 "Babies Love Me!" 2009-08-07
By Paula L. Hill (Boise, ID)
A great soothing "pacifier". Wonderful for parents to listen to, also.This is a wonderful, thoughtful gift that is a "thinking person's" present. The Magic Cube functions very easily and the colors enhance, greatly, the product.



A real gem! I have purchased three for friends, relatives and for mysself when grandchildren come to visit.

 "Too noisy and bulky" 2009-07-27
By J. Black (Raleigh, NC, USA)
I was originally excited about this toy, but there are a few things I was disappointed about, mostly the lack of any volume control. It's either off or on, that's it! I think it's WAY too loud! It's also a little bigger and bulkier than I imagined. I definitely like the concept, I just think there are a few major improvements that need to be done!

 "Groovy Leap Frog" 2009-08-23
By DAVE BASSETT (VA)
My kid absolutely loves this toy. He climbs on it, under it, throws it around. And he plays music on it too. Learning shapes, colors, counting, alphabet in English and Spanish is fun for him too. Being able to randomly create music is also a whole lotta fun for him too; maybe this is the start of something big.

 "Quality Toy" 2009-08-22
By C. Bray (Il. USA)
I bought this toy at a garage sale when my daughter was 3 months old. It was extremely dirty and not taken care of by the previopus owners but it was only [....]

I took it home and cleaned it up and my daughter loved it!

I had removed the legs so she could just play with it while sitting until she started standing more on her own. The toy is quite top heavy so if she would try and pull herself up on it it would topple over. It is definitely not a toy she can play with without supervision, atleast until she can stand on her own.

My husband and I both enjoy playing with her, she loves the keyboard and enjoys turning the pages of the book. The volume can be turned down to a lower level if the music is too annoying. My husband and I enjoy it immensely as does our daughter.

 "Decent, but not perfect" 2009-08-19
By C. Festavan (Birmingham, AL)
This is colorful and it makes lots of noises, which intrigues my 8 month old daughter. However, it's not as stable as it could be, as she can pull it over. Also, occasionally it will make an awful buzzing sound if she holds down a button.

 "Great, except..." 2009-08-17
By Sleepless in Seattle
I found this product to be surprisingly educational and attention-holding for my 10 month old. The only negative is that the table/legs are not sturdy. My child is constantly leaning up against it (rightfully so) and sliding it across the floor and crashing into things or will occasionally lose his balance and fall. Perhaps if the legs could have some texture to the bottos so that the table can "grab" onto the carpet, etc.

 "This thing has legs" 2009-08-11
By Derek A. Phillips (Los Angeles)
My 19 month year old has been playing with this since he was first able to, and he still plays with it.

 "True greatness" 2009-08-02
By John R. Prince (Fort Worth, TX United States)
This game has such a high rating for a reason. It's a blast! We've owned it now for two years--and we still play it at least once a month. It's a game for ANYONE 6+. We have two children (seven and eight), and we love playing it in "team mode" as a family. There are also modes for single play, so "only children" will enjoy it as well.



I won't bother going into all the details of the game (you can get that from the other 200+ reviews), but I highly recommend this game. If you are trying to decide to get this or HyperJump or HyperSlide (both of which are also great games), I'd advise to purchase this one.

 "Important Warning" 2009-07-20
By Daniel Liedtke
Important warning to all.



While this product is a nifty toy and everyone has already commented on the finite number of variations that you can make, there is something that buyers should take into account. Some early reviews state that you can put in more than one "crystal" to get a third color; ex. red and blue make purple. This is no longer the case. Hasbro has changed the programming and you can only get red, blue or green; no color combinations. To be honest, this was the selling factor for me, so I was quite disappointed to discover this.



All in all, the product is fun and a great addition to your Jedi arsenal, but just know that you will not be able to that beautiful purple blade you may desire.



A concerned Jedi.

 "Fun" 2009-07-14
By K. Brotherton (Iowa)
My son and his friends love this game. It has provided hours and hours of entertainment for them.

 "Disappointed" 2009-07-03
By Ryan M. Fritz (Fargo, ND)
maybe I didnt research this game enough, I read the "4 games in 1" and thought that was exciting...but each version is a slight variation only of the actual game. Or maybe its since my daughter is 8 and this is a game starting at 6+...I recall a game named Simon when I was a kid - and I think that game was more fun...25 years ago.

 "More fun than I thought it would be!" 2009-06-21
By V. Hutson (Duluth, MN)
I saw this game for some time, but just didn't think it would be fun. After seeing all the positive reviews I decided to buy it for my son's birthday. It is a lot of fun. The courses we set up do not span a great distance--so we don't do a lot of running. However, I'm thinking of expanding the distance and perhaps I could lose some weight as well as having fun!

 "Great Game" 2009-07-07
By maya11300 (New york)
We enjoy playing this game by ourselves and with friends. There's no limit to how many can play this game, the more the merrier! It is confusing at first but once you get how to play it (usually the second time around our friends were pros at it) it is very engaging. It is based on visual observations and lots of cognitive sorting of different combinations of cards. it is very simple, portable, great travel game... only needs a flat surface to lay out the cards. this game is also great fro all ages. it is great fir children to develop patience, observation and thinking skills, and it is great for adults to keep the brain working :)

 "Could be the math geek in me - but I LOVE this game!" 2009-07-05
By J. Thomson (Salt Lake City, UT)
AND so do my kids.



We first encountered this game in our children's museum. My 8 year old son (our youngest) can win the game.



I am a Math PhD who has been a stay at home mom for the past 10 years. It felt so good to think this way again! I found my mom looking up math papers on the subject. :-)



VERY simple, VERY unique, VERY fun - just the combination I value in games. A+!

 "great combination of joy and education" 2009-06-21
By tiantianxiangshang (Bound Brook, NJ United States)
My soon to be 5 year old boy love to play this game. It is a great game to keep him thinking and focused.

 "Wow. What a work-out for the brain!" 2009-06-21
By Ulyyf (NYC)
This game is... both easy and difficult. There are four different categories for each card (shape, color, number, shading) and each category has three options. You have to identify sets that match in ALL four categories - either they have to be ALL the same in a category, or ALL different in a category.



So if they can be all green, all diamonds, but TOTALLY different in shading and number.



The person with the most sets at the end of the game wins, and they have suggestions for variations at their website.



Teaching yourself to recognize the categories is hard, but the rules are simple. I suspect that some people are just naturally going to find this game easier than others - it seems very much to be a "way your brain works" kind of game. That means it's certain to be a good levelling game because your kids might be better at it than you are - and all kids like to win because they WON and not because of chance or being allowed to win :)

 "A fun, but competitive game..." 2009-06-10
By Colleen Leung
The game SET is really a diamond in the rough. With all of today's video games, talking this & that and animatronic do-dads, Set is a great source of entertainment for all.



General Commentary:

- Ideal for groups of small (1) to medium size (5 or so).

- I normally play in a group of 20 somethings



Benefits:

- Great for mind stimulation.

- Great for younger (learning colors, numbers, shapes, etc) and older kids alike



Caveats:

- With older "kids", the game can get a bit competitive

- At times, the game gets very close to a game of Hot Hands and it's a matter of who can get there faster -- with apprehension anytime anyone moves a muscle

- Not good for car rides or playing outside in potentially windy areas



Overall:

- The game is wonderful, but can get a bit competitive and a little addictive.

 "So Much Fun!" 2009-07-12
By Laura C. Denner (Boise, ID USA)
I bought this Blongo Ball set after my mom bought my sister one as a gift for her law school graduation party. It was a hit with all the soon to be lawyers and I bought mine for a house gift for my boyfriend and his roommates (ages 25-30). Everyone who has ever played this game with us has loved it. We come home to find the boyfriends roommates have it pulled out on the lawn and are playing without us all the time now. It is a game that is fun for all ages and brings out the best competitive spirit in everyone. It remains entertaining because the balls are so unpredictable and what looks like a great toss can end up a no pointer, and a short throw can bounce off the ground and end up with bonus points.

 "Must have item for the summer" 2009-07-12
By K. Bower (university place,wa)
The Blongoball set is the perfect backyard game for the entire family. It is easy to set up and not difficult to play. The soft balls bounce better if you are trying for the "big" score and the hard balls wind better for the consistent score. Take it camping or to the beach and you will be sure to make friends.
