HPs are always fun and full of quality activities that my boys enjoy

I really like the History Pockets series - they're wonderful. And, this book is quite good and full of a variety of age appropriate activities that my boys really enjoyed.  However, I question how some of the tribes were selected; specifically, the Seminoles of the Southeast Region.  While the HP units can stand alone quite well as a unit study, I like to complement them with additional information and activities for my boys.  I found it particularly difficult to find any complementary information/activities for the Seminoles.  I think the Cherokee tribe would have been a much better choice.  The same holds true for the Maidu tribe of the Californias - very limited information available to supplement. Also, I wish that this book had included tribes for the Great Basin and the Sub-Arctic regions.  To include these two areas would make this unit completely comprehensive and thorough.  Nonetheless, it is a good resource to have and follow as part of an early elementary study on Native Americans.

We originally bought Heros blocks 6 years ago for my toddler son.  He liked building with them but enjoyed even more knocking down the 4 foot tall towers we'd make with them.  With a second son and several blocks gone missing, we decided it was time to add to the collection so there would be enough for them to play without fighting.  These blocks are evenly weighted so it is easy to find balance when building.  The boys are very creative in design because there are so many options and the colors are just plain fun.  There is no worry about lead paint and these blocks hold up well to and the rough and tumble two boys can give them.  I prefer these kind of toys because you can see the wheels turning and and the boys never run out of new ideas of how to build with them.  Other blocks are as well weighted or offer as much variety.  We just love these and highly recommend them over any other blocks one might be considering.

My 1 and 3 year old kids love these toys!  They can play with them for hours.  They are so proud of what they make and can't wait to show it too me.  I have to admit, they're pretty fun to play with and knock down too.  This pack only comes with 1 set of wheels so the kids do fight over that sometimes.  We have not had any issues with them breaking and they have been dropped, thrown, and stepped on.  The bag included makes for fast cleanup and easy storage.

This is the third set we've bought. All 5 of my kids (ages 16 mo - 7 yrs, boys and girls) love these things because there's always something to build. If you can imagine it you can build it, then knock it over and build something new. The shapes aren't small so there's no risk of my younger kids choking on little pieces, so this is a toy we can have all over the living room floor and play with as a family. I love that my older kids stay interested by making more complicated builds, and at the same time my younger kids can easily make their own builds. I love the bright colors and shape variety. These pieces are also pretty sturdy, and don't break easily. The kids can be a bit rough banging shapes together, but we've only had a few chip. Very pleased with this set, and highly recommend.

The Melissa and Doug brand is known for it's durability and creativity with all its toys.  This set is no exception.  The set comes with plenty of reusable stickers to keep kids interested on a car trip or simply when you need a few minutes to yourself like when you're making dinner.  My little boy even loves the pirate set.  I really wish they would make a more variety of themes.  They keep my eight year old and five year old twins engaged doing and redoing for a good hour at a time.

I checked them out from the library years ago with my three older sons. We had fun then and I am sure my next three children will enjoy them too. They are easy to read with fun activities that make learning history more fun.

My kids loves play doh.  They can spend hours playing with it and it never gets old.  I enjoy playing with them also.  Nice wide range of color with good value.

These are such fun activities and are true to the Melissa and Doug standard of durability, creativity and fun!  The set comes with a background "environment" and plenty of reusable stickers to keep kids busy.  My eight year old as well, as my five year old twins love these-even my son.  They're great to take on car trips and keeping kids busy while at the doctor, while you're on the phone or making dinner!  I try to keep them put away until I need them to be engaged wit something on their own for awhile.

My only complaint is that they need more themes!!!  I've purchased all of them!!!!

As grandparents we like to have fun things around the house for bored minds. The preteen boys love these books. I wish there were more pages in this one. Some of the older books are more hefty, meaning more reading time.

My boys (4.5 yrs and 2 yrs) LOVE these things! They can play together with this set for a solid hour! (If you have young boys, you know how amazing that is.) I put them on an old aluminum cookie sheet I was ready to retire, so that way the rods stick to it and are less likely to get lost. The balls aren't magnetized, so they won't stick to the cookie sheet. You can make all kinds of neat shapes with these. Best toy the boys got this Christmas.

My boys, ages 6 and 9 love playing with these. I love that it's keeping them occupied and they've been staying off the electronic devices.

I am blessed as a Nana of triplet boys, who are going to be three in April.  They are very active and these worked perfectly on hardwood floors in the house.  Hours of play and they are sturdy enough that their 7 yr old brother can ride them with younger brother on the back.  Seller packaged them well and the boys love the bright colors that match "their" colors that have been used since birth to differentiate "their" things, which is very important to them since they understood their colors before they could talk!  We will consider adding the faster wheels as they get older.

We picked this up to review on our YouTube channel. We just love these My Busy Books! There isn't a ton to read, but between the book, the characters, and the play mat, the kids are sure to find hours of enjoyment.

My boys ages 4 and 2 LOVE these.  I bought a set from a local grocery store months ago but sadly the dump truck was lost recently while at a car dealership and another kid must have picked it up because it could not be found anywhere.  So I purchased this set from Amazon and they are both so excited to have a dump truck again.  They have been one of the best toy purchases ever made because they play with them everyday.

Good quality plastic, parts move and wheels roll.  They are well worth the price when you consider you are getting 5 toys.

My boys are obsessed!  Fairly easy assembly and loads of fun.

These are so fun.  My 3 yr old loves the sticker pages.  The other activities are a little too advanced for him.  But they have some great facts in them as well.
