What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Durable, easy way for kids to experience photography The Bad: May seem bulky in little hands In a Nutshell: This fisher-price camera really is Kid Tough. At a Glance Ages: 3 and up Requires: Four AAA batteries

Easy to Start Taking Pictures
An adult will need to use a screwdriver to install the four AAA batteries before kids get their hands on this camera. With a textured button on the front that releases the shutter and large buttons on the back that let little hands turn the camera on and off, browse through pictures and delete images, using this camera is so easy it doesn't need to come with instructions.

The fun, brightly colored body helps distinguish this camera from boring adult models, making it an instant favorite.

Kid-Friendly Technology
Kids can pick between using the live view on a 1.5-inch color LCD preview screen or looking through the two-eye viewer when taking pictures. The preview screen also lets kids look at pictures the moment after they take them. With a built-in flash that automatically illuminates darkened scenes, and a shutter noise that makes it easy to know when a picture has been taken, kids are sure to be delighted by their images.

The 64 MB built-in memory stores up to 500 pictures and eliminates the need for handling fragile and expensive memory cards. Two image resolution settings, 0.3 and 1.3 interpolated mega pixels, let kids take plenty of pictures and make 4 x 6-inch prints.

Fun, Durable Way to Encourage Creativity
With its big rubberized grips and sturdy construction, we found this camera lived up to its incredibly durable reputation. Able to easily withstand being dropped again and again and waterproof for 30 minutes in up to three feet of water, this camera can handle the rough reality of active play.

The heavy-duty construction that makes this camera so durable can also make it seem somewhat bulky for little hands, but this won't prevent kids from wanting to take it on all their adventures.

Older children and adults may be disappointed by the image quality, but higher resolutions would allow less pictures to be stored and decrease the amount of fun children have with this camera. Kids quickly find that there's plenty of resolution for exercising creative urges and documenting the wonders of everyday life.

The camera comes with a USB cable so pictures can be downloaded quickly and easily for editing and viewing. It is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Apple Mac OSX, Apple Mac OS9 and requires a USB port 1.1 or higher for computer connectivity.

What's in the Box

All other virtues are of little value when you have a camera that takes terrible pictures! Who cares how easy to use or durable the thing is if you can't use it for the primary intended use of taking pictures! Don't waste your money.


My thoughts:

*Buttons are easy to use but not too easy. It's hard for a kid to accidentally turn it on (you have to hold down two buttons at the same time) or accidentally delete pictures (you have to confirm a delete by pushing the delete button a second time. It can be a little hard to find the shutter. Sometimes I have to guide my daughter's finger to it.

*The picture quality is low but it's good enough. Really what kids want is to look at their pictures on the little LCD screen and the picture quality (and size of the screen) is perfectly fine for that. The quality of the pictures is also good enough to look at on a computer. We haven't printed any and likely won't waste the money (because the size of the picture would look like garbage), but my daughter has grown up in the era of digital photography and we don't even print 99% of our own photos. The only people we print photos for anymore are computer illiterate grandparents. Looking at pictures on the computer is normal for her and it makes her happy. Every now and then, she accidentally shoots a picture good enough for me to use on facebook. It's the whole infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters thing.

*The image on the view finder doesn't match what's being photographed but the image on the LCD screen does. The view finder just shows the top half. Most kids take pictures haphazardly and it doesn't matter, but it's annoying when you're actually trying to teach a kid about photo composition. We taught her to size up her photos using the LCD screen. Most of the time she takes pictures of people's belts instead of their faces, but again, an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters.

*It eats through batteries like no tomorrow. Buy a charger and rechargeable batteries right away. We found that we needed to replace the batteries almost after every use.

*I paid about $40 for it and I hemmed and hawed over whether that was a fair price until my mother pointed out to me that when I was a kid, I had a polaroid instant camera (yea instant gratification!!!) and while the camera was cheaper, the film was $8 per package. So when I took pictures of people's belt buckles, it grated on her nerves. The expense of the film prevented her from buying more film which prevented me from using this camera. If you buy this camera and rechargeable batteries, you're done. The knowledge that the initial expenditure is going to be it means I pull this camera out regularly and encourage my daughter to use it. I still wouldn't have paid $60 for it, but for $40 considering it's digital, it's a fair deal.


This is such a great idea! My DD loves this camera...unfortunately the camera doesn't love her :) After the first 3 weeks, the camera wouldn't turn on. So, we replaced the batteries several times, and nothing! So, I contacted Amazon, and back it went! We received the new camera, and all was fine until just recently (6 mos later). Same problem!!!! Now it's too old, no returns accepted.

Camera has a pretty large memory - quality is pretty poor, however can keep a little one busy for a long time! Be prepared to replace batteries regularly with use, as it tends to eat them up! Unfortunately the quality is not made to last a long time. Not sure it is worth the $$ just to be used a few short months.


I bought this item for my little one's 3rd birthday by mistake. It wasn't until after my child opened it and was playing with it that I realized that it didn't play any games or have any other cool functions, as the model that I had INTENDED to buy does. The only thing it does is shoot pictures and is water resistant. I was especially unimpressed with the quality of the images on the viewfinder.

For the price I paid for it, I didn't feel like I was getting much product for my money. After all, for only five bucks more, I could get another model by vTech that shoots pictures, has an SD card slot for additional memory, in-camera photo editing, shoots movies, can have sounds clips added to photo files, and has three fun preschool games!

I couldn't get the batteries out of this Fisher Price model and put it back into its packaging to return to the store fast enough! For the lack of features on this camera, it really should be in a lower price point.


Our daughter uses our digital camera and we thought this would be a nice substitute. Wrong. If your child already uses a digital camera then this one is a waste of time. The quality is ridiculous. I don't even want to download the pictures to the computer as I think it would be a total waste of time. I've thought about putting it on craigslist but that would probably be a waste of time too. Looks like the landfill for you... Kid Tough!


My 5 year old daughter loves this camera and I love that there are blue and pink so that my son can have one too. My 3 year old son has trouble pushing the button to take pictures and the batteries run out very quickly which is frustrating for all. Loved the frustration free packaging as I couldn't get the camera out of the fisher price packaging the first time!


My 3-year old loves the idea of taking pictures, but is frustrated by the hard-to-push shutter button, so quickly loses interest, preferring instead to manipulate the buttons in the back. I wish the power button was as hard to press as the shutter. We'd find it a much more enjoyable experience.

Picture quality is what you'd expect from a camera suitable for the pre-k set, and it is very tough. If something happened to it, I would do a lot more real-world testing before buying a different model or brand. Would not purchase this camera again.


I bought this camera for my daughter who is 2 1/2 and she loves it. She has a lot of fun taking pictures. Regular batteries don't last to long but the rechargables are better. It takes good pictures unless you move it to soon. This camera seems very durable.The double veiw finder is great for kids. Would recomend to anyone with young children that wants to take pictures by themselves. Amazons frustration-free packaging is a great thing, alot easier to open.


When we purchased this camera we were really looking forward to my 3 year old daughter using it.
However:
1) It goes through alkaline batteries in about 20 min and doesn't work on Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries at all.
2) The resolution is appalling. The technology is about 10 years old.
3) It's very difficult for little fingers to operate because it's quite hard to press the button down to take pictures
4) It takes about 5 attempts to turn it on because each time you do it turns itself off again, even with brand new batteries.
5) It now won't turn on at all and it's less than 2 months old and hasn't been abused by may daughter

Don't buy this it's a complete waste of money




We bought a blue and a pink one - they love them and photograph everything and everyone. Downfall is can't down load to MY computer because my operating system is too old . . . so not sure of the actual quality of the photos taken. You can see the photos on the screen on the camera, but they are very grainy and dark.

Mousetrap

Product Description

Build a better mousetrap and you can catch your opponents mouse before yours is caught! As you travel around the board, collect pieces to create your trap, then put it together and start up the whole crazy chain reaction this is no ordinary mousetrap! For 2 to 4 players.

Dear Hasbro,

I have long depended on your products; they have only improved my life. I was afraid that after my sister, Fran, died that I would no longer be able to talk to her but thanks to your Ouija Board I get the opportunity to talk to her almost every day. As a single mother I have also used your products to help teach my children. Once every year I gather around my five kids and we all sit down and play a game of Monopoly to demonstrate why capitalism is a flawed system. We play through the game in one sitting - even if it lasts ten or twelve hours. That monotonous stretch at the end of the game where one or two players slug it out in a slow battle really underscores how the economic system makes us suffer.

The fact that I've depended on your products so much in the past is the reason why I find it so hard to write such a negative review for you but I feel that I must. Recently a family of mice moved into our house; a gross affair, indeed. I searched your product listing and found one named "Mouse Trap." A smile came over me as I realized that this could also be a learning exercise for my kids as it can demonstrate how cruel nature is and how one wrong move can mean your death. I've tried to teach this before by hanging swords over the dinner table in classic `sword of Damocles' fashion but I don't think they quite got the message.

So when your board game arrived in the mail I was eager to put it together. While the way that Mouse Trap itself works is inefficient, to say the least, it properly gives the message that a chain of random events can end the life of any living soul; it also encourages creative thinking! I put a piece of real cheese - made with milk from the cow we keep in the garage - underneath the mouse trap. I also put the little plastic mice in a line as if they were moving towards the cheese. I thought that if mice saw other mice going for the cheese they would find the cheese even more desirable.

We sat all night waiting for a mouse to come by. When the first mouse came he demonstrated barbarism to my children by attempting to eat one of the plastic mice. When he was finally in place underneath the trap I turned the crank to set the trap into motion - but it didn't work. The little green diver figure did not catapult into the place it was supposed to go. The mouse was content to continue nibbling on the cheese while I made eight consecutive attempts to get the trap to work. They all failed because of that WRETCHED green diver figure. On the tenth try the trap did indeed work, and the cage fell down onto the mouse. The mouse was startled; then he lifted the cage and stepped out, running away with his food.

I fear that my youngest child, Aristotle, is now confused at his place in the food pyramid. I am deeply disappointed in Hasbro as a company that could release such a faulty and amoral project onto the so called `free market.' I will be hesitant to pick up Hasbro products in the future and if the next product fails on me I may have to abandon your company for good. Let us swear to Odin that this never transpires.

The Game of Mousetrap!
Of course you help the younger players set up the game but once constructed my three and six year old grandsons were enraptured for several hours, following the convoluted course laid out. The next day they were back at the table dropping the marbles and watching the action. Actually, forget the game itself, just watch the marbles do their "thing" in this Rube Goldbergesque" contraption.


I don't know if the construction of this has changed since I was little. The pieces are so cheap and flimsy, one broke while we were removing it (carefully) from the packaging. We tried tape and glue and it won't stay together well. My kids still tried to play it but soon got frustrated at how poorly it works. Looks so fun but isn't.


I purchased this for my son this past Christmas, having remembered my own fond memories of the fun we used to have as kids playing this game. It is always a blast to play and the kids learn that anything can happen, which turns into a great lesson about variable change. At the end of the game, my kids even keep setting it back up just to trap mice over and over again. A very good purchase and makes for a great family-fun night (old school style).


When I bought this mouse game it came spilling from the box. Now you know that these bosos don't even take the time to package the game properly. Then the instuctions were both in Englih and Spanish. I can read both lanuages but this was no fun playing. Then my cat eats one of the pieces and starts choking on it. This game is now a killer of humans and felines? After recusing the cat I continued playing the game. Once I got to the part were the mouse is captured the whole contraction fell apart and broke. After I was so sick of this......game I threw in the garabage. In the garbage. In the garbage. In the garbage. In the garbage. In the garbage. That is how stu-pid this "mice of the trapps is".


Worst game ever. You have to have the hand of a surgeon to assemble AND I do. But, still the worst game for children. Cheap quality, unstable, and impossible to ever get to the actual game since you are reassembling the board CONSTANTLY. Current status of our game after being out of the box for approximately 4 hours: BROKEN.

If you DO purchase this game, buy a bottle of ADVIL as well. You'll need it for the back pain and accompanying headache that comes with the purchase. All for the low price of 18 bucks. Instead, throw your money in the fireplace and you don't even have to wait for the postman to deliver this heap. :)


THIS IS A NICE AND FUN GAME. IT HAS A TON OF PIECES & PARTS BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THEM.


I sat there with my child to put this together. The instructions are terrible, and it was quite a frustrating ordeal. Everything falls apart easy. Great concept if it worked, but terrible toy.


They sure don't make things as durable as they used to! We owned this game as kids and bought it for our son last Christmas. The game hasn't changed much but it's construction has. The parts are cheap and don't fit into the board well and as you're playing it can take a couple of tries to make everything work in sync.


We love all types of board games...but I avoid this one in the game closet at our house. I wish it were easier to get the game started; and likewise to break it down completely and put it away. I think I'm either going to "hide" it or re-gift it. haha. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the kids DO enjoy playing once it is set up. But since they are 4 & 7, they need a little help putting it together. It has to be set up *just* right or the whole game is off. Not my favorite. :o

Melissa & Doug Large Shapes Jumbo Puzzle

Product Description

Can you find a home for these different shapes' Toddlers will love this super-sized, solid-wood puzzle with chunky half-inch-thick pieces -- it's the perfect first puzzle. Extra-large knobs make it easy for small hands to play with each brightly colored puzzle piece. Matching full-color pictures are hiding underneath each piece. Measures 15.5"H x 12"W x 1.5"D.

my 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old sons both enjoy this puzzle. good for working on motor skills, teaching colors and shapes.


When I decided to introduce my kids to puzzles at around 16 months, I wanted something simple, safe, and educational. This fit the bill, and has been a wonderful toy that my kids seem to enjoy more and more. I like that each of the pieces will only fit in its own space - a simple idea, but a flaw I have found with many puzzles on the market. The pieces are hefty and durable, and the knobs are easy for my kids to handle. My kids are still in the habit of chewing on toys occasionally, and I've noticed just a little bit of peeling of the color on the pieces - if your child really gnaws on his/her toys still, this may not be the right toy yet. My kids have learned the basic concept of a puzzle from this toy, and they get so excited every time they get a shape in the right hole. I use the puzzle to reinforce/teach shapes, colors, and the concept of "matching" and "turning" pieces until they fit.


My one year old boy just got this toy as a present and loves it. He actually bypasses his other puzzles for this one each time. Since he is only one - I am using the puzzle to teach him colors. When he is older, I can use it to teach him shapes. Really happy with this toy.


I bought this as a gift for my 10 month old granddaughter. The large wooden pieces will be durable and the large knobs will fit in her hands perfectly.


I just purchased this puzzle for my 16 month old daughter who enjoys it. However, the colors of the plug and the hole are supposed to match and they don't. Some are just very different shades and two are different colors altogether (purple versus blue/ orange versus red). Since color recognition is a fundamental aspect of this puzzle, this seems to be a significant flaw.

I also found as another reviewer did that the pieces don't seem to have been removed and cleaned after the jig cut them out. There is particle board dust that seems to keep wearing off with continued use even after it is cleaned with a damp cloth. This can be considered a small trade off for the price of the toy since it is so functional and educational.

However, the only concern I have with the dust is whether there are any chemicals from glue or other materials that might have some degree of toxicity. The pieces are in no way deteriorating of crumbling apart; there is just dust that my daughter found fascinating and began licking off her fingers.

The pegs to hold the pieces are perfect. The pieces fit well, not too loose, not too tight. I really like this puzzle for my daughter and hope that I can get it exchanged for one that has accurately corresponding colors.


This is great as a first puzzle. The large wood knobs are easy for little hands to hold onto, and nothing beats it for teaching shapes and colors. My daughter mastered it and was able to identify the shapes and colors by name all by 20 months (except for one slight difference, she still calls the pentagon a "purple-gon" :) Great quality and durability, should last many-many years!


We gave this puzzle to my 8 1/2 month old for Christmas, and it was immediately a big hit. She loves it because the pieces are easy to grab and the bright simple colors catch her attention. My two-year-old loves it, too, even though it's easy for her. This was a great purchase!


I was looking for a puzzle for my daughter I saw this one. I loved the colors along with the knobs on it. She is still working on getting the shapes right, but seems to like this one. The other puzzles I saw are smaller & I liked the bigger size of this one.


We bought this as a first puzzle for our daughter at about 5 months. She started to remove the shapes almost immediately and loved all the colors. Ultra durable and still a favorite at 17 months...buy ANY of the jumbo M&D puzzles for your little one.


We have a lot of different puzzles for our daughter and this is our favorite. The background is simple and doesn't distract from the placement of the pieces. The wooden knobs are easy for her to grasp and the pieces are simple shapes and colors that she can recognize and easily put where they belong. She's learning colors and shapes from our "play" with this puzzle and doesn't get frustrated with it like she does with some other puzzles. I highly recommend this puzzle.
