Eeboo Good Manners Flash Cards

Eeboo Good Manners Flash Cards Review: Who doesn’t like to learn manners from pigs? My son really likes Piglet, so I thought he’d be able to relate to these flash cards. He does but I think these are a little advanced for 3 year olds, perhaps there’s a bit more maturity as preschoolers approach kindergarten age.

Anyhow, he’s now interested in the cards, several months after I purchased them. He’s really learning from the questions. One drawback is that the actual cards are made from paper stock that doesn’t seem durable and are a little too precious.

Trend Enterprises T53020 Spanish Action Words Flash Cards

Trend Enterprises T53020 Spanish Action Words Flash Cards Review: Beware, these cards have no english translations on them. Most of the illustrations seem self explanitory; however, there are a few that are questionable. For instance, one figure seems to be running or skipping and all you have to work with is the word “brincar.”

Luckily, I have a live-in translator who tells me that the word means “to hop.” On the other side of the card they use the word in a simple sentence (in the first person) “Yo brinco en un pie;” again, if you do not have a translator you’ll need to look it up yourself to find out that the sentence means, “I hop on one foot.”

Picture Word Flash Cards

Picture Word Flash Cards Review: I once taught a preschool and now use these for my kids. My daughter loves them. THe pictures are clear. Whats great about them is you can use them from the start and all the way up to 3rd grade. My son is in first and he uses them . He uses the back and tries to read it. My daughter uses the front where it has the words and the picture. The are also very steardy unlike other flash cards.

Picture Word Flash Cards Review: We’ve had a lot of fun with these cards. I have no feeling of cramming learning down my kids’ throats. I bought these for my 4-year-old in hopes of her learning a few sight words. Instead, my 2-year-old became interested as her vocabulary increased. I can see her pride as she knows the names of all the items. My older daughter is now 5 and loves the challenge of trying to read these, as well as the safety net of having the pictures right on the other side.

V.Flash Controller

V.Flash Controller Review: Purchased this joystick so a second player can participate in the VTECH Flash games. There is nothing wrong with the joystick, it works fine. It is easy to use and we love the versatility of it because it is made to accomodate left and right handed people. Which is why we gave it a 5 star review. HOWEVER, when using this joystick as a second player, it was not as we expected.

We were hoping the two players could play simultaneously and interact with each other’s characters while playing games. That isn’t the case. Only one person plays at a time. So, interest is easily lost when waiting for a player to complete the game. This is no fault of the joystick. However, my kids (ages 6 and 4) won’t use this joystick as a second player because either way, they are waiting to take a turn and as I stated eariler, ineterest is lost. So, if you are considering this as a buy for the second player option, it may not be worth your money.

LeapFrog Electronic Flash Magic Flash Cards

LeapFrog Electronic Flash Magic Flash Cards Review: This was given to my 5 and 6 year olds who already knew some addition groups (doubles, +0, +1, +2). The toy did not give them sufficient time to select the correct answer. Instead of letting them press in the numbers, they have to watch a list of numbers go quickly by, pressing a button when they see the correct answer.

This is not sufficient because there is no “think” time in which to come up with the answer themselves since they have to watch a lot of wrong answers go by. My one-year-old likes it because it beeps alot.

UNO Flash Game

UNO Flash Game Review: This game is for 3 players or more. It is not the traditional Uno so if you are a hardcore Uno player, you might find a bit of trouble adjusting to how to play this (or you can be like us and tweek it a little to fit our style of playing). There are a variety of ways to play, you can set it for 4 seconds, 6 seconds or no timer (something I’d have to do if we played with the parents because they’d short circuit trying to play up to speed). The rules are detailed and descriptive on how to play each card and the unit itself is pretty solid.

UNO Flash Game Review: Last night i opened up the game and wanted to give it a try so my room mate and i read the instructions and started to play.I love uno attack and i felt this game would be fun also.The game really kept you on your toes and very alert”‘After playing for several hours we finally stopped and were going to play again today.My grandkids love the other uno game i have and i know they will just love this version.This is a great game for family time together.I cant wait till thanksgiving day as they will be here and will play the game as long as they want to.I have a feeling it will be several hours before we stop playing.I highly recommend the game.

Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts Review: It me again Slagar the cruel. I thought I would give some pointers on how to beat bosses of kingdoom of heartrs II faster and more efficiently. I love this game when it came out 2 or so years ago. For those of you bold enough to try this game on proud mode or any other difficult setting which I guess is an easter egg unlocked my doing normal or hard mode. Here is some tips for killed that annoying boss from the second act to Point royal. As long as the boss is hold or touching any of the cursed medalions he is invulerable and blows won’t hurt him.

The best way to get him to drop coins is to either hit him with his own lance like weapons or blast him with what ever current form of the lightning spell you have. Pick up the coins and return them to the chest. If you are doing this one Proud mode or just wanting a fast battle this helps alot. I also recommend you use the Trinity limit attack as much as possible when at close enough rage and boss coin display reads zero. Depending on what version of the staff donald weaponj is using may determine the effectiveness of the attack combo.
