 Great supplemental learning tool, 2010-01-04
I bought this as a supplement to my esl classes. I had bought the Math BrainBox first, but found it a bit too specialized. The World Brain Box is wonderful. The cards are very durable, full of colors, the pictures are well done and the captions very clear. The box itself is very inviting and my students can't wait to finish the main part of the lesson so that they can play and there are really interesting facts about each country that intrigue them. The ten seconds that the game allows to 'memorize' as many of the facts on the cards as possible is pretty dauting, but I just turn over the timer a couple of times so that they can absorb more. In any case, they improve quickly as they get the nack of the game. It's a different way to work on their comprehension as they have to listen carefully to the questions I ask. With the younger ones I'll ask questions I'm pretty sure they can answer and leave out the more difficult ones, with the older ones, they get whichever question the dice calls for!
I'm really pleased with the addition. I've used it for all of my students, which means from 9-year-olds to adults. With the adults I let them read the questions themselves so it's not so much a test but a way to learn that's less intimidating. Once you go through all the cards it's probably time to move on to something else, but there are a lot of cards and if you have a lot of students, or your children are perfectionists and like to repeat them, it's a very worthwhile investment.

Great fun for a six year old!, 2010-03-07
This is the review written by my six year old Ioannis who loves Bakugans!
"Bakugans are adorable and fun. I never get bored when I play with bakugans and I collect them as a hobby. Every pack is different but sometimes the same ones come in different colours."

Great fun, 2010-02-16
My 2 1/2 year was given this game for christmas and we play it constantly. She the loves the brightly coloured dinosaurs. She had been struggling with sharing anything but threw playing the game has discovered sharing and taking turns can be fun. She likes both games but the shape game is the favourite. I think the age 3-6 might be a bit young as is more appropriate to the young end of this age range.

Isn't the one with the moustache the actor who also played Cliff Clavin, the postman, in the sit-com 'Cheers'? Can Lego also do Leonard Rossiter as 'Rigsby' from 'Rising Damp' and possibly also Bob and Terry from the 'Likely Lads'? What about a Lego City Construction / 'Auf Wiedershein Pet' tie in?

Bought as wedding pressie - asked for contribution to Honeymoon so gave this alongside real pressie! Went down well and was unexpected. Can't really see it being used seriously, I doubt it is that comfortable! Nice material though and seems like it would last well. Lined in the important parts, but I dare if it was seethrough it probably wouldn't really matter as so much else is on show!!
It is as it seems in the pictures, not much else to add!

Lego X Large Grey Baseplate, 2010-03-09
It does what it says on the tin it's a bigger than normal lego baseplate which was great value for money. My only complaint is it wasn't green which might make more sense when using a lego city set but you can't go wrong here. Reasonable price good large size fits lots of created lego structures well. You won't be sorry you got this if your kids are into lego!

RC measures 13cm long. 92 Lego pieces. Toy Story sets made of Lego are a wonderful way to encourage construction skills and great for imaginative play.
Kept busy for hours, 2010-02-27
These toy story lego kits are great! Available from both the Disney Store and The Lego shop, so dont be fooled into paying collectors prices. Me and the 25 year old loved putting the model together, took about 20 minutes and is quite straightforward. The 4 year old has had great fun playing with the models, making up his own games and stories with them. He is also learning that lego comes apart and can be put together again - sometimes with different heads! So I think it is good for young children using role play and developing their fine motor skills. I have found the attachments for Buzz's helmet visor inadequate too - it comes off too easily. The spoiler on the back of RC is a little top heavy and needs regular refixing and the lights come off easily - but then hey it is lego & if bits come off your child is going to learn how to put them back again. A great toy, it has kept him busy literally for hours. Good value.
