"My kids love watching the worms and analyzing what and how they eat. It's been very interesting to set up and develop into lessons. I would request more colored sand in the original package - I really didn't have enough. Otherwise awesome!"

"My son saw Puppy School in your catalog and wanted it so much! I got it for him for a special present for his sister's birthday so he could keep busy. I can't say my dog is as focused as he is, but they have had a lot of fun together, and it is adorable to see my son and older dog playing together."

"I bought this at the suggestion of the parents of my grandson for his third birthday. I'm sure he will love it. It will hang in his bedroom and will be his very own "hide-out" from his older sister. He opened it here at Grammie's and had giggles when Daddy swung him in circles. It looks very comfortable and well made."

"Granddaughter age 8 loved this and immediately began making the cutest pig which she showed off to all. We had given the same one to her sister when she was 8 and got the same response. We'll see if she makes all of them and if so get her another version like birds. Great quality clay and colors and good instructions on the app. Thank you for this quality craft."

"My son loves these sets! He makes the animals/creatures with the app the first few days (he'd probably do them all at once if we let him) and then loves making his own creations from the leftover clay. The app is great for showing you exactly how to make the animals; with a little focused attention, they were able to create finished pieces that looked very close to the examples! Appreciate the addition of the two tools in the new ocean and forest sets!"

"This was a really interesting set. I bought it for my 7 year old but it was too challenging for him to do by himself. I tried it with him and found the instructions very difficult as the diagrams were small and not particularly clear. For full disclosure though, I am terrible at stuff like this. :) Once I started to figure it out, it was really quite cool to see how the marble run worked. I got pretty excited. Then my son wanted to take over and do it by himself but got frustrated. In short, I think this would be a great toy for the right audience. I would have waited until my son were older if I had the chance to do things over again and would have started with a smaller set at first to test it out without overwhelming either of us."

"Kids love it but as in all crane machines, the crane won't pick up anything too heavy. We put $1.00 bill in a couple. A couple quarters in others. It will pick up a ping pong ball. Wont pick up a small pac of fruit snacks. Kids filled the tubes with 3 or 4 single pieces of candy and it wouldnt get picked up and it doesn't work well with the prize box loaded. It needs some room. The kids thought more would be better!! Glad that the music can be shut off, with constant use, although the music increases speed as your time begins to run out. Good for the price. Kids are 5 and 7 and they loved it. Adults get challenged too! Also wish it had a lite inside the box for show"

"I bought this product for the kids, but once we got it in the house, the adults were picking it up and having just as much FUN. MY Mother-in-law, who currently lives with us and is 78 with some early onset dementia, loves it most of all; she sees it picks it up and has just as much fun as she did he first time all over again. She LOVES it as much as the kids do!"

"I purchased this for my grandson's 6th birthday. He has planted it and is waiting for it to grow to see what it looks like and if it will attract Monarch Butterflies. H was quite excited when he received this as he has an interest in butterflies and in science experiments. As this is not a toy, it was difficult to choose a 'play value' above."

"This stable took about 10 minutes to put together with a drill and a few screws. We just needed to attach the sides and top, everything else came assembled. Very good craftmanship. The fence folds up well, doors slide smoothly. Overall, the product seems very sturdy. My 1, 3, and 4 year old play with it. I feel like my kids will get many years of play out of this toy."

"Such a fun game that gets my four kids running around, chasing each other, which they already do, but in a fun more organized way! I love that there are a few ribbons of each color so they can play with friends and be on teams, or have multiple ribbons on themselves. Seems well-made and I'm sure will be a game that they play for years!"

"My son loves all things science and is especially interested in the body. I know he's going to love it! It's well-made, the perfect size and durable. I looked into a few other options before picking this one and I know we made the right choice because of the material. I like that it comes with the breakdown of the body parts also."

"BACKGROUND: This was a replacement for an order from before Xmas for my grandchild's 5th birthday in February. The original order had a number of products ordered and, although the box was full of ants, the products appeared to be fine. BUT, on the Birthday she was sad the item was incomplete. FATBRAIN had another one delivered directly to her after I contacted them with the problem. The birthday girl (5) put it together in one afternoon with her Mother's guidance. She loved it and I'm under the impression it was probably her favorite gift. *I believe the mosaic elephant was recommended for an older age, but the birthday girl is very artistic and had no problem. I will likely look for one more complicated next year. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP AND TAKING CARE OF THE ISSUE!!"

"This new toy, Drop Shot, is popular in our house since it arrived. It got attention from both kids and adults. I think it even misses a few those drop arrows from frequent play... My toddlers mostly play with the arrows, using them as sticks, pretend "lollipop" and don't really pay attention to the hive looking base for drop shots. Though, adults in my family having blast playing it!! I, myself played a few rounds and found it's such a simple, but yet fun concept of playing. Toddler or not, this toy is fun!"

"GibGab is a game that can be taken anywhere due to its smaller size. I appreciate that the instruction & category cards are held within the game magnetically. There are no loose pieces to worry about. The box is very sturdy & compact which is nice for storage. The game itself is easy to use, the sound level is good-not extremely loud or too quiet, & the lights are bright. The game keeps score which is great & is very easy to see after each round. There are many categories given for play, but because players can create their own, the game will not go stale. One thing the game does not have is a way to "flag" a duplicate, silly or incorrect answer in order to stop the timer. This is not a big deal, but depending on who is playing, could cause some arguments."

"Nice product. Our five-year old boy enjoys hanging in the Hideout from time to time at home. Whether reading, relaxing or just enjoying his own space, the Hideout provides a suitable venue. We use it outside and try to bring it inside and out of the weather/elements as often as possible...sun and water destroy any material over a relatively short period of time. We plan on taking the Hideout with us to parks and camping this coming Spring/Summer, but the jury is still out as to true portability. Overall, the product seems to be a quality build and was fairly easy to setup. Happy here."

"The game is fun and my kids seem to enjoy. My first opinion is that it seems to difficult to get resources. You are at the mercy of the cards you get. That seemed to drive who could build and who couldn't. There were several turns that you couldn't build anything. I really like the art and the concept of the game."
