The Home Depot 42-piece Power Tool Set
Made by Toys "R" Us
Age Group: 36 months - 6 years
Amazon base price: $
This is a big (42-piece) set of plastic tools, enough to equip a comprehensive play workshop. Three battery-powered tools with sound effects are included: a drill, saw, and sander. Then there's a plane, T-square, working plastic tape measure, pipe wrench, pliers, hardhat, tool belt, nuts, bolts, screwdrivers, and much more. The power tools require two AA batteries each (not included). --Richard Farr

Non-stop fun!I bought this for my nephew who is 2-1/2 and he just loves it! It's his favorite toy and has kept him engaged non-stop for the past 3 months and running. He takes the toys with him everywhere and even to bed each night and they're also the first thing he asks for in the morning. Because there are so many different tools, he never gets bored and because they look and sound real (some even work), he tries to figure out how things work and to fix things with them.

A Must Have For Every 'Bob The Builder' Fan!This set is great! My 2-1/2 year old nephew has not stopped playing with it since Christmas morning. The only time he pays attention to the other toys he received is when he's 'fixing' them. You could not possibly ask for more out of a $20.00 tool set. I would make two recommendations if you buy this: 1)Go to your local K-Mart, Target, Walmart, whatever and pick up an inexpensive (but real) plastic tool box to store all the stuff in (I got one for $5.00) and 2) you absolutly want to take everything out of the packaging and get the batteries installed before presenting as a gift. The package is sealed like Fort Knox and the power tools all require a screwdriver to install the batteries.
Clever Design & Very Realistic Sounding ToolsThis was the hit of our Christmas...even the adults took a long break to play with it. The best part of this set is how realistic the tools sound; I was convinced that my daughter was cutting away part of our coffee table. The drill works both in forward AND reverse. Plus, you can actually screw or drill pieces of plastic wood together...so fun for my toddler. The tool belt is pretty cheesy plastic (and definitely needs a better latch) but each holder is labeled with a picture so my daughter has enjoyed making sure each tool is in its proper place.
There are a few things I would improve on with this set:
1. Make the drill bit actually "disappear" when you drill (similar to Little Tikes) so it really feels like you're drilling into the floor
2. Improve on the measuring tape construction...ours already won't retract
3. Finally, make it easier to get out of the package! It took two adults (and a couple sliced finger tips) before everything was removed.
Overall, this was a great buy for us!

Problem with tea pot quickly resolved by manufacturerMy daughter received the Disney Princess tea set for her 2nd birthday from her grandparents. She absolutely loved it and played with it often. Less than two months later the tea pot started to short out and the voices/sounds would not play. I went to the manufacturer's web site (Thinkway Toys - www.thinkwaytoys.com) and looked up their customer service email address. I sent an email detailing the problem and asked how to go about getting a replacement. They responded quickly and happily replaced the teapot. I received the replacement with no hassle and very quickly (within a few days!). The replacement works great!! I am very pleased with their customer service. 5 stars for customer service!

The voices started to sound garbledWe bought this for our daughter at Christmas and after about 2 weeks, the voices on the teapod sounded staticy and garbled. The problem was NOT corrected with new batteries so I have contacted Thinkway toys (the manufacturer) and am waiting to see if they will replace the tea pot. My daughter still has tea parties but is dissapointed when she can't hear the princeses talke to her. We'll see what happens.

Now it's ALWAYS tea timeWe bought this tea set for our granddaughter this past Christmas. She's loved it from Day 1. We've told some other family members, who are now getting them to send to their relatives in Spain.
Hide & Slide Climber
Made by Little Tikes
Age Group: 24 months - 6 years
Amazon base price: $
If your child (or your budget, or your yard) is too small for one of those monstrous cedar outdoor play structures, check out the Hide & Slide Climber, a miniature version of the same idea. Its brightly colored (yellow, red, teal, and purple) plastic sections snap together quickly, and they won't rot. A red 40-inch slide leads down from a platform 26 inches high; underneath there's a crawling and hiding space. It's very stable--the two large "feet" on the side panels make the unit almost 60 inches wide. Requires adult assembly, but not a second mortgage. --Richard Farr

Hide & Slide Climber by Little TikesI like the product for its durability, but thought the kids (age 1 & 2 1/2) would play with it more. I think it is a little overpriced for what you get.

Happy MommyI just got this climber/slide! My 17 month old went nuts over it! It's perfect for my little girl to do her favorite thing (climb) and she figured out how to sit and slide with no problems. It fits great in her playroom and feels very sturdy. I am very pleased with this purchase. My favorite things about it are all the giggles, squeals and smiles! Yay Little Tikes!

Baby loves Hiding and SlidingI bought this slide when my son was 14 months old. He loves it. We keep it inside since it is so cold and wet outside right now. It doesn't take up *too* much room in spare bedroom. He loves climbing up and down the steps. He is learning the steps of how to slide (1st sit down, then get one foot in front, then the other, then scooch forward). Just as the product name implies, he loves hiding under it and surprising me and playing peekaboo around the corners. It was a snap to put together maybe 15 minutes tops - if a piece is fitting too snuggly follow the directions and put a little soap on it to help it snap into place. I think son will enjoy this product for some time!

Great review from the child I bought it for!I purchased this toy for a dinosaur loving little boy who lives in another state. I figured this was a good buy, to get him something different than the usual Wal-mart gift. (Hoping that I wasn't getting him something that he already had.)
He loved it! He loved the volcanoes.......that was way cool for him. And the fact that it could be packed up got rave reviews from the Mom.
If you've got a dinosaur lover, this is a great gift!

Great Dinosaurs!My 4 year old son saw this same set at a neighbor's house and he didn't want to put them down! LITERALLY! (We had to carry him home screaming apologizing profusely for his behavior to everyone) Even days after, he wanted to go over and play with them. But the screaming episode afterward kept bugging me and didn't want to go through that again.
So I asked my neighbor where she got them and logged on to Amazon.com to find them. The local Toys R Us were sold out.
For less then $25- it's a great collection.
With so many dinosaurs in various sizes, trees, rocks, volcanos and a playmat in a great carrying case- I couldn't resist to get them.
We took them to the beach just last week and there were 3 other kids ranging in ages of 2 to 5 and we were amazed how quiet they were playing with them. Only problem was getting them back from them when it was time to come home. It was their turn to scream =)
The names of the dinosaurs are underneath them, so if Mom and Dad can't remember which is which, flip them over and with confidence call out the name. Therefore impressing the kids to the end of the earth. "Mom you are so smart" my son once told me. Hey, it felt good!
And soon you and the kids will be able to recognize their names without peeking.
Great gift for all ages and he continues to play with them months later. ahhh peace and quiet.
Home Depot Chainsaw with Sound
Made by Toys "R" Us
Age Group: 36 months - 6 years
Amazon base price: $
Here's a realistic toy chainsaw, made of sturdy orange plastic with a black handle and a blue knuckle guard. The "blade" is made of silver-colored plastic and has a kid-safe plastic chain. The chainsaw has three blue buttons. One press-type button makes an engine-y sort of noise that is truly loud and could be very satisfying for the would-be logger. Luckily it stops on its own after about five seconds. So does the trigger-type button on the handle that makes the chain on the blade move while making more saw-like sounds. This is where the real action of the toy is, and it sounds very much like a real chainsaw. This toy has some nice heft, but it isn't too heavy for a preschooler. It requires two AA batteries (included). --M. Sullivan

tooo loudMy son loves the toy, however it appears that the toy is too loud for indoor play, I would recommend that this toy be played outdoors.

Zippo Pine BarI think Zippo Pine Bar is a very great breyer horse to own. He's very pretty especially his coloring. He is very durable to I have had him 4 1 year and he has fell off a very tall shelf and there wasn't even a scratch on him. This particular model is also very easy to show due to the way he is standing. Overall i think he is a great breyer horse for people of all ages.

Wee Enchanted Garden Kit
Made by Creativity for Kids
Age Group: 7 years and up
Amazon base price: $
For kids who want to experience the magic of growing their own garden, this kit is a fun and inventive experience. It contains everything you need to grow a small terrarium complete with an entire community of tiny fantastical inhabitants. Paint the special planter with the paints (three primary colors included), fill with soil, and then plant the enclosed beans and grass seeds. Then it's time to arrange the tiny fairy cottage, use the green pebbles to make a tiny path, and decorate the garden with the rocks, shells, and plastic animals that come with the kit. As the beans sprout and grow, you can cut and shape them so they look like miniature trees--and for variety, add pepper, lemon, cantaloupe, and tomato seeds and watch just what comes up. --John Longenbaugh

I wish I had one when I was a kid!My inlaws bought this table for our son's second birthday, and it is just great! He loves to sit at his table to eat and color. It's very sturdy--my son climbs all over it, and my husband even sits on the benches from time to time... even though I'd prefer that he didn't! This is an excellent piece of kid furniture and highly recommended by our family.
happy momI had received this table as gift for my first son 10 years ago.
After my second son out grew this item, I gave it away not realizing my husband and I would have a third child 8 yrs later. So much to my suprise when I saw this table online I had to have it again! I'm glad to see with so many new items on the market the good ones can still be found.

Lasts ForeverI bought this table several years ago for my son's 2nd birthday so his friends could have somewhere to sit. He will be 5 next month and still uses it a lot. He still fits in it just fine. Now, you're probably not going to fit 4 5 years old comforably on the benches but you will easily fit one of each side. He leaves his playdoh on it and every time he goes on the porch he sits there and plays with playdoh or paint or any other activity I would prefer he do outside. Anytime he has friends over they can sit at the table and enjoy their lunch or snack. It was very easy to put together and is very sturdy. I highly recommend this table.

This takes the plastic playhouse to a new technological level. Impressed by the hipped 4-foot-8-inch roof, red-shuttered windows, and doorbell with 20 different sound effects? Wait for the kids to get inside. First there's a complex, multi-buttoned wall phone. Then there's the motion detector. That's right--as kids move around, the house senses where they are and responds with different sounds. Other features include a table that flips over to turn into a stove, and a back wall with a crawl-in hole. The playhouse requires two C batteries, not included. --Richard Farr

so much funWe bought this for our two year old daughter and she absolutley loves it. Not only does she play with it but my five year old loves it to. I even caught my eight year old in there with her friends .It is tall enough for the big kids to stand up .I looked over many of them and this one was the best choice I could ever make it is nice and roomy at least four kids are able to fit at a time and the telephone really rings and so does the doorbell .It is a great choice.A++

Great for indoors and outdoorsThe grandparents bought this house for my 16 month old at Christmas (she's 22 months old now) and she absolutely LOVES IT! We have a small living room and we originally put it up in the house so she could play with it in the bad weather. It didn't take up too much room. The only "problem" we had with it being inside our house was the fact that our daughter would run inside and hide from us when it was time for the diaper to be changed. Good thing for the large window which allowed us to get her out of the house. Now the house is outside and I think it's a great value. (...) and I say buy it now if you are thinking of getting this house. It is well worth the money!!!

Brooke loves this little houseWe purchased this house for my 22 month old daughter. One of her favorite things has been to ring the door bell outside of our house and now she has her very own, which she loves. I planted some flowers outside of her house which she is responsible for watering. One of the things that I was concerned with was that my daughter would outgrow it quicker than a larger (and more costly) playhouse. However, we purchased it on sale (...) so it was a no brainer!
