Perfect toy to convert to switch toy for special needs

My son loves this toy. We converted it to a switch toy very easily with a battery interupter. It doesn't do very much but it is hard to find simple toys to adapt that don't break the bank. It is loud but it doesn't bother me. We like it better than the Dalmatian one.

I bought this for my son from ebay for $35.  My son has cerebral palsy and the big buttons are wonderful for him to play, stop, fast forward and rewind.  Also my son cannot open it due to the way they designed the latches.  Parent needs to push 2 latches away from one another.
<- - ->  This is a great toy!  My son loves it.  This videonow plays all the videonow cds ... so u can't go wrong.  And you know your son/daughter can't open it so the cd is safe.  Marvelously designed.  I would absolutely recommend.  Especially for keeping little ones busy in the car.  I have noticed also the screen does freeze when the batteries are low which is normal for any electronic.  Ow also if this toy is on pause it will automatically turn off after a minute or so.  Another great feature.

This is a great toy, a gift for 1 yr old birthday. Toddler loves it and parents have learned colors in Spanish. Perfect size for small hands, 2 volume controls, 3 options for fun sounds or colors, not too much flashing light. I'm sensitive to flashing lights, so was concerned at first, but the flashes are muted and not disturbing.

we bought this for our 20 month old son ( who was diagnosed with cognitive delays recently) and my 16 month old niece to work on their skills. We mostly follow the Montessori menthod at home and had noticed that both the little
Ones
Enjoyed putting tooth picks into
Containers, coins into piggy banks etc.. This was the next step for us. Both of them love it and
Play differently with it. My 20 month old stacks it, color sorts it etc.. The young he one uses the holes in the peg board and pulls it out over and over again. It helps with their Pinsar grip as well as making. Patterns etc.. There is so much they can do with this set. And momma specially like the bag she can store it in and take it neatly to church to keep the kiddos occupied during service.

The BeginAgain Counting Chameleon Wooden Number Puzzle, Perfect Preschool Puzzle Game for Toddlers, Eco-Friendly and Award Winning Educational Toy, Numerals AND Bilingual with English and Spanish!  is a puzzle!  Its a teaching toy!  Its a toy to help encourage imagination and creativity!

This colorful, self-contained puzzle is more challenging than most puzzles targeted at ages 3 to 5 years old.  Nevertheless, it is an excellent toy for allowing older siblings to help their younger brother or sister.  All components of the BeginAgain Counting Chameleon are finished smoothly; there are no rough, burred or sharp edges to injure tender skin.  Brightly colored painted pieces are free of drips or runs.  The color progression is eye-catching and each piece complements the adjacent pieces.

Each puzzle piece shows the number word in English and Spanish on its face.  I plan to use a paint pen to write the numbers below the word names of the numerals.  On the reverse side, the numbers go from right to left  NOT left to right.  This may confuse youngsters.  It is also the reason that I rated this puzzle four stars.  Sizes of the pieces vary.  All pieces are approximately  thick.

The puzzle component of this toy is an excellent problem-solving tool.  It helps a child visualize the way items fit together to form a cohesive unit.  The pieces of the chameleon fit together inside the rubber-wooden tray that also contains four corner pieces.  This guides young puzzle-solvers by defining the space in which the completed puzzle fits.

The BeginAgain Counting Chameleon is one of the nicest toys I have seen for your little ones.  My granddaughter and her big brother love building the puzzle together.  I love watching big brother guide his little sister as she learns to count and identify numbers.  She is also learning to problem-solve through puzzle building.

I bought this for my disabled daughter to be able to learn how to count change. It is perfect for that purpose - the coin buttons are detailed and it is easy to match the real coins to the buttons. I took off a star because this is an older electronic toy and the screen is not as easy to read - otherwise we love it.

I got this as a birthday gift for the 3 year old son of my best friend. The little boy is autistic and this toy was a hit. He loved it so much and would ignore all other gifts. I tried and looked for a long time to find a toy which would tap into his abilities. And since I know that he just loves shapes and colors, I bought his one. The birthday was months ago but he still loves it and would play with it all day long. Needless to say that my friend is very happy about it. It can be difficult to keep autistic children engaged in an activity without them "zoning out". I'm so happy I found this clock and that I followed my knowledge and my instinct to buy it.

The clock itself is of high quality. It's all wood, the surface and edges are smooth (bu not slippery). Very easy to hold and coordinate for little children's hands. Well worth the money!

This toy is perfect for your Thomas loving child and it doubles as a developmental toy. It helps with gross motor skills when using the key and you can also use it to play hide and sneak with the trains to teach deductive reasoning!

I purchased this set for a 2-year old boy with autism. Both the child and his mom were thrilled with this set. The little boy immediately started stacking the pegs. I think this is a great toy that is not only fun, but also very good for the development of his fine motor skills and will help him with counting and sorting. I feel it necessary to also mention the fantastic customer service. Educational Treasures goes the extra mile to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase. 5 stars for the product and 5 stars for customer service!!

This toy has multiple play options that will last for several years.
From 6 to 9 months I had the seat attached where my Boy would sit and hold on to handles. I attached a rope to front of train and i would pull him. He loved flipping the "book" pages on the side of the train and pressing the buttons. Now that he is walking i detached the seat so that he can use train as a walker. He takes it everywhere! He plays with the detached seat and the alphabet blocks independently of train as well as placing them in appropriate slot on train. As he gets older, becomes a more independent walker, and understands language better I think he will like the quizzing games provided by the train. I have had the train for almost 6 months and have had to change the batteries one time only, even though i leave it "ON" 24/7. I have never had any mechanical issues and I promise you this...it takes a beating.
My husband and i chuckle when we catch ourselves singing the silly song it plays "Happily we chug along learning letters, singing songs..." When we need quiet, we shut it off which doesn't seem to phase our Boy at all. He keeps chugging along with his train.

This is great for special needs children still developping their fine motor skills. It helps on the grasp. The colors are great too. My 6 years old son loves it since he has a hard time holding crayons, but he is able to hold well these finger crayons.

Vtech's Spur the Stegosaurus from Switch & Go Dinos transforms from a speedy race car to a fierce dinosaur. It's perfect for little hands and they love that it talks sharing fun facts about Dinosaurs, too. It has big spiky plates along his back but they are not pokey (says my just turned 6 yr old).  It also has this really cool tail that swings and sways With a little pull back action this dino drives away on its own. My little guy loves that it fits in his pocket and I love that I don't have to carry it in my purse.  My son is able to switch him from vehicle to Dino and back again and he's so proud he continuously shows me how so I can learn.  ;) These Switch and Go Dino toys are great. My son loves them.

I was provided with a product for the purpose of review on thenightowlmama. Thoughts are 100% all my own.

I highly recommend this toy - it comes with 2 drill bits, a hammer, 6 different screws,the drill, and the carrier to store it all in.  There is a switch on the drill to change between forward and backward and once your child gets the hang of that they will love to play with this.  It's a plus that all the parts have a place and can be contained in one unit and can easily be carried from room to room.  My son has played with this off and on over the last two years.  I love a toy that will be played with over the long-term.
