Item not the same as picture. My son is very disappointed because I let him pick the one he thought was the coolest that none of his friends would have.

Not what I expected or usable for my age group of children

My kids who are 8 and 12 really enjoyed the Pokemon card game.  Since they are into My Little Pony right now, I thought this would be a great game for them.  The rules are so complex that it takes the fun out of the concept.  Total dud for us.

I bought this set of books for an 8-year old during Christmas.  I was so dissapointed when she opened them up and realized they were too difficult for her to read.  They are probably best suited for a 10-12 year old.  Otherwise, the books were beautiful and the set was very nice.

I purchased this product for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas.  I thought it would be an excellent project to keep her occupied and focused.  She was so excited to receive it.  When we opened the box, there was NO YARN.  I looked carefully to determine whether I was suppose to buy yarn.  The box decription says that it comes with plenty of colorful yarn.  It did not.

All I got from this gift was a very disappointed 6 year old!  I would not recommend that any parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle purchase this gift for fear of seeing the same sad look on your loved ones face!

I need to return it. The eight year old agrees it looks like a horse in real life!

This says it's for age 1 1/2 but it's way to advanced for a child so young. My son will be 2 in 3 months he has no interest in this game at all. He really loves to move the mouse by himself and I wanted a game we could do together with him playing it under my supervision. My son is interested in the games daddy plays like World of Warcraft which he laughs at all the time and enjoys the graphics of daddy jumping on his wolf, but he won't even look at the screen with this Jumpstart game playing.

I expected it to be more visually stimulating for children so young but the graphics are horrid and boring.

The learning is for older kids who are 3 or older.

Not much content either for a $20 game, should be $10 at most.

The game was rather girly with little ducks and butterflys everywhere.

I don't like writing negative reviews but would not recommend from my experience.  Over priced and did not entertain 8 year old.

Don't waste your money on this one. It is ridiculous to expect a child to be able to play this game by using keyboard commands. My daughter is 8-years-old and very computer capable. She found this game completely frustrating. I usually take my lumps in life, but this game was such a complete waste of money that I am writing to THQ, Nickelodeon, and the corporate offices of ...(the store where my daughter bought this software with gift money) with the hope that someone out there will refund her money.

Purchased this for our 8 year old granddaughter.  Very disappointing product.  Long waiting time while absorbing water.  Messy to work with and have to be careful not to wash product down sink. The finished product is not one she can keep and admire for any reasonable length of time.

Our 8-year-old daughter received this car on Christmas day and was so excited. It broke the same day. She thinks a boy at the park shook it but we still think it should not have broken the first day. We will be returning this product.

The wand with the little bubbles works very well but the one w the big bubbles doesn't work at all.. My 8 year old was a little disappointed.

It was a disappointment that the machine was not more durable since it was suggested for an 8 year old.  It appeared that it would not really be suitable for a child of that age.  Next time I will read the description more carefully, noting weight and measurements.

Was too small
 The picture shows for a kid 8 years old but is for 3 -4 years

I bought two of these as bday gifts for 5 year olds.  They are huge.  More like for 7-8 year olds.  No easy way of returning so I had to keep them.
