Cheapest LEGO Bionicle Tarduk


My 6 year old was taking the feet off and the connectors broke. He has a lot of Bionicles and likes to mix and match the pieces. I was really disappointed when the small pieces broke off, rendering the feet useless and unable to reconnect. It is getting returned.Get more detail about LEGO Bionicle Tarduk.

Cheap Fisher-Price Trio Girls Starter Set with Storage


These toys are truly amazing! Not only are they loads of fun for the kids, educational, EASY to build with (even for two year olds), expand the brain in thinking and following directions, but they will spend HOURS of time with them! The last fact alone is well worth the price.

I plan to go out and add to the collection that we have now.

This is also, actually, a toy that is fun for an adult to play with along with the children.

Buying INTEX 38" Transparent Tubes Assorted Colors


Haven't used it yet, but I bought two and they look beautiful. Plastic seems thicker than the really cheap ones. They sent me two with stripes--I wasn't offered a choice of styles. Free shipping was great.Get more detail about INTEX 38" Transparent Tubes Assorted Colors.

Buy Wedgits Creativity Set 30 Piece Building Set - Amazon.com Exclusive


We got this for my son for Christmas ~ he was a few months past two years old. At first I thought it was a dud as my son didn't give these blocks much of a second glance, but when I moved them to a different room, he re-discovered them and has made some amazing towers and "ojet d'art," ala toddler style. Wedgits are very durable and help improve hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and most of all, creativity. I'd definitely purchase again.Get more detail about Wedgits Creativity Set 30 Piece Building Set - Amazon.com Exclusive.

Purchase LEGO City Switch Tracks


We bought this set for my six year-old son for Christmas, and it was one of the best purchases we've ever made for him. The directions were a little complex, but I helped him assemble everything (which was fun for me, anyway!); and he played with it non-stop for days. He especially loved the 7 speeds on the train engine, and the fact that it goes forward or backward at all 7 speeds. One warning - the train tends to fly off the track at high speeds, unless you have extra tracks to put in to make the curves less sharp. My son actually loved to make the train fly off, but it tends to break apart a bit when this happens (which is just the nature of Legos, no big deal). All in all, this was his best Christmas gift and I loved watching him play with it.Get more detail about LEGO City Switch Tracks.

Order Superstructs Starter Set


I actually bought this as a semi-gag gift for my husband to play with the grandkids. He loved tinker toys as a child, and it has turned out to be perfect.

Where To Buy Revell 1:48 Rocket Hero Lunar Landing


It took me about 8 hours over the course of several days to assemble this. Unlike other models I've built, it uses a shiny gold foil to create a realistic effect. The foil was self-adhesive, which made it easy to apply, but the instructions don't actually mention that. I figured out that the backing came off only after I had glued a section on.

I like that the descent module and ascent module are separate, but can be 'locked' together. I was very pleased with the final look of the model.Get more detail about Revell 1:48 Rocket Hero Lunar Landing.
