Captures the kids attention immediately

I got this for my friend's son (a 3 year old) for his birthday. The gift was an instant hit with the kid. It served as a play tent - "his own home" - as well as a huge train he could actually get into and play. He was thrilled. The colors were also bright and nice and that added to the attraction. It has a sun roof and windows through which the kid can see you and that helps as well.

The tent is quite spacious that a kid and an adult (a slim adult) can actually get in and play. It took 30 seconds to open and set it up and so quite easy for the parents in terms of maintainability and maneuverability around the house.

In terms of durability I cannot comment since I got it just a week back so we will have to wait and watch. But it looks pretty durable to me!

Overall I would say this is a great gift for any kid!

Spark their imagination. My 5 year old girl and 2 year old boy love this. The paint is high quality and the wooden part seems durable. I just wish it came with the lid.

I have to be honest, I did not see much entertainment here as I expected but it the kids LOVE IT and giggle non-stop.  I keep trying to figure out why but I guess it doesn't matter since they obviously like it and ask me to read over and over.  I have also been able to ask them if they are a wilbur etc... and they know immediately what I am talking about.  My only complaint is that I don't think the names are that easy to remember as going to which character and that would be easier for me to recant the lessons in the book.
Kids are 3 yrs old and 5.

The kids love this thing. They were beyond excited to see the "rainbow dragon" as they call it, and began playing pretend immediately. Great detail work and size.

I can't think of a single non-screen-based activity that has so captured my kids' attention.

The gameplay itself is pretty simple: roll a die, move a piece, hand it on. Even pretty young kids can handle the mechanics of it. The fun is the randomness of the hex bug, which bobbles around, well, randomly, crashing across the game board every once in a while and always knocking my pieces out of their spots while leaving everyone else alone. Er, i mean... anyway, it's fun. There aren't too many pieces, and the only battery to replace is the one in the hexbug.

This camera includes a lot of cool features to keep kids interested.  It is also durable and easy to use.  Most kids who are interested in taking pictures and videos should love it.

My boys are 1 and 1/2 and of course easily distracted. This book really catches their attention. They will sit with me and look at the pictures and even open it and look at the pictures on their own!

Getting the attention of kids is relatively simple compared to holding their attention. This record does both with lan Id say; with catchy tunes and simple accompaniment and harmony that makes it all the more pleasing to the ear. THE GREEN GRASS GREW ALL AROUND and OVER IN THE MEADOW fit right in here. Then the all time favourites such as HERE WE GO LOOPTY LOO, THE MORE WE GET TOGETHER and YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE never fail to get folks singing along. Stories like THE THREE LITTLE PIGS and STROLLING IN THE GARDEN are spoken out well and the I SPY game is an ingenious addition!

My little one really enjoyed it!
The brilliant illustrations are eye-catching and attention grabbing even for my very busy 5 year old who usually doesn't have any time to sit and listen to a story.
I think its because the author did a great job making illustrations that goes along with the story so that a younger child can figure out what is going on; the story was funny and easy to follow.
The artwork is first class, colorful and not too complex  Just right to engage your little one and let you help her Discover whats on the page.
Gabi, the protagonist, has really captivated my child and it was easy for her to relate with Gabi because she also goes out for  puddle walks when it rains.
She also got some new ideas to play with puddles, for example  she wants to build a castle with the puddles mud like the protagonists at page 20.
I think Ill let her try.

Note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a good game to get your children to pay attention to details and to pick up speed in processing images quickly.

My 2 yrs. old son loves the vivid and large color pictures. The story flows and gets his attention.

The kids both seem to enjoy the silly (albeit forced, as another reviewer noted) choice of words.  The book is repetitive enough that it's especially appealing to my one year old, while the pictures are detailed to capture my three year old's interest.

Just arrived! Took less than 2 minutes to put together and show the kids. In ways they're more mesmerized watching than actively playing but they definitely like it. My white cat is making chirping sounds at it the whole time. I'd like to point out that the modes are all random directional, but that random mode itself is random speeds. When I read reviews I thought maybe slow/med/fast just went in a circle and random meant random movements. So this was a nice surprise. My kids prefer slower moving items they can stalk so the faster settings are a little too much for them right now.

Huge hit with our toddler and the neighborhood kids!

This was a big hit for twenty minutes among 3 children, ages 3, 5 and 8. That, as far as I am concerned makes it a small success. There are several stamps in the collection, all seem sturdy enough that they won't break. I am glad we got this for the kids.

This toy is a great hit with the kiddos.  Little ones like the noise and action.  The 6 year old loves to sit and try different things -- I am not sure what exactly -- but, he will spend a good 10-15 minutes at a time with it.  I have also used it when doing FaceTime with another grandchild, and it holds his interest from afar.
