Fisher Price GeoTrax Transportation System Remote Control Timbertown Railway [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:04:36 +0000

With the Fisher-Price GeoTrax Remote Control Timber Railway, kids get to be the conductors of their very own train. Completely remote-controlled, the three-car train features auto-aligning wheels that ensure the train stays on the tracks. Children will enjoy piloting the train around the railroad's many colorful bends, loops and slopes. They can use the working crane to load logs onto the train, or make a quick stop at the Easy Rail Station. Designed for kids ages two to seven, this train set provides hours of imaginative play. Timbertown Railway Ages: 2 to 7 years Requires: 6 "AAA" batteries What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Easy-to-use remote control and feature DVD. The Challenging: Train occasionally derails, older kids might lose interest. In a Nutshell: A colorful train set that's ideal for younger children. Kids will love being the conductor of their very own three-car train. View larger. All Aboard! Fun and Easy to Play With The Timber Railway is painted in vibrant colors and has a cute, cartoonish look that kids will undoubtedly enjoy. The included train (named "Steamer") comes with three cars: a steam engine, a log cart, and a caboose. When the train's wheels move, its smokestack moves up and down. The train also comes with a conductor action figure. Both Steamer and the conductor also appear in the included feature DVD, which gives kids a story to work within and deepens their imaginative options. The railroad adventure begins at the Easy Rail Station by placing the train on the orange portion of the railway where it automatically aligns to the track. In general, the auto-aligning mechanism does well keeping the train on the tracks, but the train will occasionally derail when going down some of the steeper slopes. Kids can pilot the train by using an intuitive remote control, or can opt to move it around by hand. As the train traverses the track, it will make its way up a mountain, circle around loops and drive through a tunnel. There's also a working crane, where kids can load lumber and other cargo onto the cars. Build a Railroading Network The Timbertown Railway features interlocking track pieces that snap together easily. Although it has been built for easy assembly, the track will most likely require some adult assistance during setup. With the help of the included instructions, setup should take approximately 15 minutes. In all, the set requires six "AAA" batteries (not included) -- three for the steam engine and three for the remote control. The Timber Railway has been designed with smaller children in mind, and older kids will quickly get bored with the railway's compact size and limited activities. However, it is an ideal starter railroad set for younger children, and will provide hours of imaginative play. The set is also compatible with the rest of the GeoTrax set -- buy them all to assemble the ultimate railroad play set. What's in the Box Easy Rail Station, elevated mountain with tunnel and working crane, remote control, steam engine, log cart, caboose, conductor action figure, lumber cargo, 15 pieces of track, and instructions.

Fisher Price Imaginext Ocean Boat [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:03:59 +0000

The Fisher-Price Imaginext Ocean Boat is a well-crafted toy boat that will captivate junior seafarers' active imaginations. It features dozens of movable parts, including a deployable submarine, that will allow your child to explore the sea at all depths. Designed for ages 3 and up, the Ocean Boat will immerse your child in the biggest ocean of all -- their imagination. Ocean Boat Ages: 3 - 8 years What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: The Good: Well-designed; includes dozens of accessories and interactive parts. The Challenging: Isn't intended for water use. In a Nutshell: An enjoyable and interactive toy for growing imaginations. This toy boat will take your child on an imaginary high-seas adventure. View larger. Great for Imaginative Play With its nautical blue-and-yellow paint scheme and sturdy construction, the Ocean Boat looks and feels like it was made for high-seas adventure. It comes with three Imaginext-style figures, each with their own outfit and scuba gear. The figures have rotatable arms and legs, and their hands are shaped to grasp numerous objects throughout the ship. The ship is full of movable parts, giving the boat a realistic touch. Spin a dial on top, for instance, and the ship's doors will fling open. Rolling the ship along on a hard surface will spin the ship's propellers and satellite dishes in unison. There is also an opening cargo hold with translucent doors, a life-saver launcher, a rotating crane for deploying the submarine, and more. The accessory submarine comes with spinning propellers and rotating arms. Unfortunately, the boat wasn't designed for water play. Although it might be tempting to take it in the pool or bathtub, it will probably capsize the moment you try to float it. An Enjoyable and Educational Adventure The boat also comes with four deep-sea animal figures: a king crab, an eel, a cuttlefish, and an anglerfish. Kids will enjoy learning about these fascinating creatures with their parents. Another great aspect of the Ocean Boat is its broad appeal. Suggested for three- to eight-year-olds, it is sturdy and intuitive enough for younger audiences, but nuanced and complex enough that it will still fascinate older children.

Plenty of Imaginative Action The pirates have plenty to do, thanks to special "action points" all over the ship. Your child can simply place a pirate on one of the ship's five special areas, turn the figure, and watch the action! The pirates can lower the ship's sails, drop the anchor, and fire the three hidden cannons. Two pirates can even fight a duel, and the captain can extend the plank for some unlucky soul to walk. Built Tough for Adventurous Journeys Like all Fisher Price toys, the Adventures Pirate Ship is built tough, with larger pieces that are easier and safer for little hands to manipulate. It includes three pirates with interchangeable hats and swords, a treasure map, treasure chest filled with treasure, and a cannon that really works. Additional accessories are sold separately. Your child will have hours of fun entering an imaginary world of adventure. However, pirates should use this ship on an imaginary sea only -- it's not built for use in real water. The pirate ship measures about 19 by 7.5 by 18.5 inches. It does not require any batteries.

MATCHBOX Rocky the Robot Truck – Deluxe Rocky [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 08:13:34 +0000

Mattel's Matchbox Rocky the Robot Truck is an interactive dump truck designed for children ages three and older. Talking, driving, lifting, dumping, and even dancing, this toy dump truck is a boy's robotic companion. Speaking over 100 phrases, Rocky has a clever line for everything. You can do all the work by hand, or get him to help out. Rocky the Robot Truck Ages: 3+ Requires: 4 "C" batteries (Included) What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Novelty factor: The Good: "Hard work" made enjoyable with talking and jokes. The Challenging: Difficult to get directly to dance mode. In a Nutshell: Interactive robot truck lifts, talks, dumps, and dances. This is no ordinary dump truck -- Rocky talks and dances. View larger. Load 'Em Up and Move 'Em Out Built with strong, durable plastic, Rocky is ready to handle heavy loads. Your child can manually tilt his dump bed to unload it -- or make some noise and he'll do it for you. And when you push Rocky forward or pull him backward on all six wheels, his blue headlights are activated and he'll make some noise of his own, with engine sounds and honking. The smokestack on the front of the truck is the primary way to control this robot truck. Tilting the lever back gets Rocky to stand on his back four wheels. Automatically set in dump mode, pressing the red button on top of the smokestack several times will switch the truck to dancing mode, where he'll shake his upper truck body to music. Pushing the lever forward returns Rocky to a normal truck position. The red button also cues Rocky to say one of his many phrases or jokes, and also wakes him up if he's taking a nap. If you don't play with Rocky for a while, he will go into sleep mode -- a may even snore. Kids get Rocky's attention by placing objects in his dump bed, or by pushing or pulling him. Make Some Noise! Rocky is very responsive, interactive, and engaging -- often prompting kids to make noise so he can show off his dancing and dumping skills. Because you can play with him manually or with his help, Rocky makes playtime easy and simple. However, with only one button for a couple of operations, Rocky's automatic modes may take some getting used to for younger children. They may have a difficult time getting directly past the robot's talking to get to the dancing mode. Rocky The Robot Truck comes with batteries.

Adding animation can turn the photo into an underwater scene or a spinning globe. The wide selection of special effects makes Kidizoom a fun and rewarding introduction to the world of photography. The included Photo Editing software allows kids to add wacky photo effects, animation, and voiceover narration. Five built-in games provide added amusement between photo projects.
