Editorial Reviews
Editorial Review Hey, even Michael Jordan was a toddler once. And just think of how many more millions he might have made if he had practiced on a hoop-and-ball set like this one when he was a height-challenged hoopster. With the Easy Score Basketball set those impromptu dunking clinics will be challenging, but no longer impossible. Future MJs can now practice their skills with ease, because the Easy Score adjusts to height, has a size-appropriate hoop, and is made of durable plastic. The over-size rim (1 foot across, with a nylon hoop) can be set anywhere, as it only rises from 2.5 to 4 feet high, putting lay-ups and treys just within reach. A sturdy 15-by-19-inch base keeps the basket from tipping; this is important for young hoopsters who get a little too exuberant. The set comes with a tot-sized (6-inch-wide) rubber b-ball. --Paul Hughes
From the Manufacturer Great for growing toddlers, this basketball set adjusts to 6 different heights from 2 1/2 feet to 4 feet. Includes an oversized rim and a junior basketball. Base can be weighted with sand(not included) for stability.

Customer Reviews
Do not buy it for more than $30 This is a great toy-but why it's $44 on Amazon, I don't know. It's about $25-$30, regular price at Toys r Us. The only thing about it is that the new version does seem better-it has a place to hold the basketball for instance. Still my 1 1/2 year old son loves this basketball hoop. He's had it for 3 months now. He is tall for his age, so maybe that makes a difference-but I still think this is age appropriate for toddlers 1 1/2 and up.
Little Tykes Comes Through Again I have purchased Little Tykes products for 32 years. This last purchase was for our granddaughter. The product is great! It is adjustable for different sized/aged children and the beauty of it too, is that it grows with them which happily allows it to be used for a longer length of time than many other toys. It is made to be durable and used over and over. Kids have such fun working to score! It offers great exercise and the fun of as many or few playing with it together. It teaches children to keep trying and to never give up as you get better and better at scoring and can count on a lot of fun. Thank you Little Tykes for still producing such a basic but useful toy for our children.
Fun, but no net We received this as a gift for my 18 month old son this past Christmas. We were very disappointed to find that the basketball set came without a net in the box (and I notice that I'm not the only reviewer to have this problem). I haven't heard back from the seller despite trying to contact them multiple times by phone, email and product help on their website. I finally gave up and ordered a net directly from Little Tikes. On the plus side, we haven't had any trouble with the rim falling off!

Customer Reviews
I don't have time to search every store in town Some complain that many of the cars toys are overpriced---they are probably right, however, since I couldn't find all of the toys in the stores in my area, I am just happy that I was able to get them from Amazon.com. The huge smile on my son's face when he saw the DJ car was well worth the additional cost. Thanks Amazon! It's not Amazon's fault that the demand is greater than the supply right now.

Customer Reviews
Fun for all ages This piano is great. I have three children aged 1 1/2, 3 1/2, & 4 1/2 and they love it. Be careful not to let anyone carry it by the top because it could pop off or knock it over because the keys could come loose. The only thing I would change about this piano is the paper notes. My children feel the need to pull them off. I wish they were painted on. All in all this is a great piano for the money and my children haven't stop playing with it since we got it.
Excelent choice! This was a Christmas present for my 2.8 year old and was a big hit. He really loves music and my husband is a good piano player so it is a good start to learn his first steps into piano. I really like that is a traditional little piano, not complicated, not electric, just what a little kid needs, and I also think this is a really good brand for wooden toys.
Diva's Mama The piano I received was exactly like the picture. Did not have any problems with it coming apart. My 9 month old loves it. She is always supervised when playing with it, of course. The sound is definitely toy-like and the keys sometimes get stuck if you're playing more than one key at a time. But it's a toy and that's what I expected. I would say it is definitely a good value compared to the more expensive toy pianos. It's a good start to learning how to play the piano with one finger. My daughter still likes to play with me on the real piano but she is more comfortable sitting on the floor with this toy piano.

Customer Reviews
Fun, but other toys and balls can get stuck My 11 month old daughter received this as a Christmas gift and loves it. The biggest negative is that balls of a similar size but tad bigger from older Fisher Price toys fit in the ball popper, but once in can not get out without taking the toy apart. So be careful of what the kids put in the toy. Also the balls do fly everywhere, but that is where an older sibling comes in handy. My five year old tracks down all the balls for his sister and helps her with the start button. It is a toy that can occupy both children simultaneously.
Playskoll Busy Ball Popper This toy provides exercise for adults (and cats) as well as for the child. At times the balls pop completely away from the toy which neccesitates chasing them. Overall, though, it is fun.
This is a great toy I bought this for my son when he was about 9 months old. He loved it then, now he's almost two and still plays with it every single day. It is a bit noisy, but the music isn't too nerve-wracking. Much more tolerable than most of the noisemaking toys out there. It's affordable, durable, and they never tire of it. The balls do occasionally go flying and need to be picked up, but if you're a parent you're constantly picking up anyway. The only suggestion I might add is to get rechargeable batteries for this, because if your kid likes it as much as mine does, you'll be buying D cell batteries every time you're at the store, and that can get pricey fast.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Sure, Mindstorms NXT is a toy, but it is an important toy, like a piano or a chemistry set. It's one of those items that engages an imagination and possibly opens doors to new interests. Since our future is surely to be shared with robots--it's already started happening, just look at Roomba--those robots will need, at least initially, humans to program and maintain them. Those people, years from now, will likely remember their experiences with Lego Mindstorms.

Out of the BoxThe main part of the kit is the NXT itself. It's about the size of an iPod (though a bit thicker) with a a loudspeaker, a monochrome LCD, and navigation keys on the front. This is the controller for the robot--it's brain, if you will. It has three ports on top for connecting to the servo motors and four ports on the bottom for connecting to four different sensors: Touch, Light, Sound, and Ultrasonic (see detail below).




The NXT: the computer-controlled brain of the Mindstorms robot
Touch Sensor: enables the robot to feel and react to its environment
Sound Sensor: enables the robot to react to sound
Light Sensor: can detect light and color
Ultrasonic Sensor: allows the robot to measure distance and react to movement
Servo Motors: ensures the robot moves with precision
The set includes Ethernet-like wires for connecting all of these to the NXT, as well as software and a basic USB cable for downloading programs from your computer. Then there are all the Lego parts, hundreds of them, and most are very small. It would be a good idea to get a plastic organizer for the different parts--it would not only make construction and storage easier but also part loss less likely.
Hitting the BricksThe instructions for MNXT are simple, illustrated, and they gently take the new user on an introductory path through the system. The quick start guide promises a 30-minute robot building and programing intro, though for me it was closer to 50 (I'm a little old and slow). It starts with a simple diagnostic routine which shows you how to test the function of all sensors, then proceeds to step-by-step picture instructions for building a basic first robot. It's about as complex as building a piece of Ikea furniture.
Programming is the real gem in this system. It has a drag-and-drop interface using pre-programmed objects that you pull from a palette and snap to other objects.
Next, I installed the software. Be sure to check the system requirements (below). The software is well-designed and very intuitive. It comes with built-in video instructions on how to create your first simple program and download it to your NXT.
Bringing It To LifeProgramming is the real gem in this system. It has a drag-and-drop interface using pre-programmed objects that you pull from a palette and snap to other objects. Each object is configurable. For example, the Sound object brings up a sub-window that allows you to choose between a tone and a list of sound files, set the volume, set duration, and so on. Little Lego bricks between the objects reinforce the idea that building a NXT program is like building a Lego model. Programming this way is much easier than, say, creating a web page from scratch. Lego even offers a software development kit for getting deeper into the programming.

Mindstorms NXT "challenges" from top: Tribot, RoboArm, and Spike.
There comes a genuine thrill from seeing something you've created--even something simple and silly as my first program--come to life in a robot. It's akin to seeing yourself on TV for the first time. I played that program a dozen times.
The software contains "challenges," which are similar step-by-step instructions for creating and programming more complex models, such as a robotic arm that can "perform simple tasks and react to different colors." Each challenge is divided into smaller tasks with step-by-step building, programming, and testing guides for each task.
Accessing your latest program once it's downloaded to the NXT is pretty easy. Lego has set it up so that you can execute it by pressing the big orange center button four times in a row after start-up. I was surprised to find out that you don't need a computer to program the NXT. You can program directly into the NXT Program submenu.
Bluetooth ReadyThe NXT also has built-in Bluetooth wireless technology. If your computer has Bluetooth, you can test and download programs to the NXT without connecting the USB cable--a really handy feature if you're programming a complicated dance routine and you don't want your robot getting tripped up in cables. If your phone or PDA has Bluetooth, you might be able to use your device to control the robot. Best of all, Bluetooth allows you to create a network of up to three NXT devices. Think of the possibilities: three NXTs plus three sets of blocks and sensors equals bigger, more complex robots.
My one and only complaint is that I wish the sensors had more "studs," those little round parts that allows Lego bricks to interlock. --Porter B. Hall
From the Manufacturer The next generation of robots! Create the smartest, strongest and most advanced LEGO robot ever, in as few as 30 minutes! The new NXT Intelligent Brick, your robot's "brain," features a powerful 32-bit microprocessor and more memory, plus support for USB 2.0, Bluetooth and more! A highly versatile palette of LEGO Technic elements combines with state-of-the-art ultrasonic, sound, light and touch sensors in the next generation of intuitive robotics. With included Quick-Start guide, easy-to-use software and step-by-step building instructions, beginners and experts alike can create humanoid, vehicle and animal robots that obey every command! Improved light sensors can detect different colors and intensities, while the new sound sensor enables robots to respond to sound patterns and tones. Robots can really "feel" with improved touch sensors, while ultrasonic "eyes" measure distance and movement. Programming software is now available for both PC and Macintosh, plus with Bluetooth support, you can even command your robot from your mobile phone!

Customer Reviews
Lego 4+ Basic Bulk Set Quite a lot of building blocks. Enough to keep a child's imagination going for hours. Strong parts, bright colors and many different shapes are great.
More is never enough My grandsons have been Lego fans as long as I can remember. They actually travel with a large container of Legos. We added to their collection at Christmas with this product and they were thrilled. While they visited us, they built reinforced castles from opposing warlords and had huge battles right on our family room floor. If imagination is educational (can anyone argue with that?) this is a great thing for kids. Beats the heck out of the thumb workout they would get from the video stuff.
Nice that it's just the blocks I like that this is a package of just Lego bricks, and not all the fancy prefab cars, house, people, etc., that most people think of as Legos nowadays. Personally, I think the more fancy you make the Lego sets, the less they stimulate imagination -- just having geometric blocks and building with those seems like pure creative thought to me. That being said, it's worth pointing out that these are *small* basic Legos (ie, the connecting dots are the smallest size). Does anyone know where we could find a comparable basic set of the larger-bore size?

Customer Reviews
My little princess is very happy! My 4-year-old daughter just loves her princesses and was delighted to get the Disney Princess Dress Up Trunk. She dresses up every single day. I cherish this age of dress-up fantasy for her!
Worth every penny. We purchased this for our 2 1/2 year-old daughter for Christmas. It has been played with every day since. I am not kidding. We read the previous reviews about the lack of durability, and one of the skirts' elastic gave way very quickly - but oh, well. It's not like we expect this to make it to Halloween. The elastic will be fixed by grandma and the sewing machine - we dare not pack it up and return it, our daughter would freak - she loves her princess costumes.
Disney Princess Costumes - Dress-up Trunk Disneys Princess Dress up trunk with accessory. I am the grandmother that bought this as a Christmas present for my three-year-old granddaughter. Although she was very excited to get the princess costumes I was somewhat disappointed in the size. She is an average 3 year-old and the costumes just fit her. The description said this dress-up set was for 3 to 5 year-olds. Another couple growth spurts and they won't fit. She won't get anywhere near 5 before she outgrows them! Other than this, my granddaughter loves dressing up as all the princesses. It's a lot of fun watching her act as each one!

Four large, colorful clips are included with this easel. Paper rolls can be loaded effortlessly into the holder and a paper cutting edge at the top delivers clean cuts and leaves your artist's work whole.

A standing easel is essential for any young artist. This large easel has a chalkboard, dry erase board, and paper roller to let the children express themselves with different mediums. It also has an adjustable height that grows with the creator and delivers years of use.

This toy will unleash the little artist inside every child and could spark a lifelong interest in fine art.

One of the best board games ever Changes from the third edition: new artwork on all the pieces, and the outer ring of the board fits together like a jigsaw puzzle, so that bumping the board doesn't knock everything apart. No big difference, same rules, still the really, really fun and engaging boardgame I remembered. I'm amazed this isn't more popular in America, on a scale with Monopoly, Risk and all the rest.
Awesome game This game is awesome! Recommended by two co-workers independently. Game lives up to the recommendation. Complex enough to be fun for adults, not too complicated for my 9 year old. He was able to completely grasp the concepts and game play after one practice game. Nice online resources, best new game I have played in a decade.
Great Game I really enjoy this game. It is a great strategy game to have fun with the family. The only thing I didn't like was the border for the pieces came in four segments. It is a little bit of a pain to setup, but after it is setup, it is a lot of fun.

Customer Reviews
A fun holiday gift My daughter has spent many hours playing with this toy. (It's a good thing that it is proving to be durable!) The educational value comes from the video link to the games on the Internet. (Without computer access, the educational value disappears.) I'm not sure if the toy would have been as attractive to her if it had not arrived during the holidays. Still, it was one of the favorite things that Santa brought to her this year.
Damaged Reindeer Extremely disappointed with the service I received! One of the reindeer arrived with a hole in it's ear before Christmas and I still have not heard from the toy company (not Webkinz) about what they were going to do to correct the problem! I purchased two for Christmas gifts and one of them was not damaged. I will never buy anything from this company again!
My grandson loves it! My five year old granson has little experience with computers but that is changing fast. He loves this webkinz. He went online and named it as soon as he got it. Maybe it will lose its appeal now that the holidays are over, but he surely has enjoyed it.
