4 comments about LEGO Duplo Bob the Builder - Scrambler and Dizzy at Bob's Workshop.
- It kept him busy. The pieces were a great size not too small. I loved it and so did my son.
- My son and daughter enjoy this set. Well built and legos easily go together. Highly recommend.
- My son got this set for his second birthday. He has other bob sets too. This one is would be just as fun by itself as well. We find that if you add these sets to other legos of the same size children can be much more creative than if they were playing with just bob the builder pieces. LaDonna
- The Lego box was in great shape, it arrived promptly, and our grandson loved it! He's a little young for Bob and Builder, but he loves his Duplos! I appreciate it that I can purchase Lego sets on Amazon that are not available for purchase in our retail outlets.

1 comments about Lego Duplo BRIDGE for Train Set, Legoville.
- The bridge is great. It makes a great addition to any duplo train track set, of which the Deluxe or Starter kits will provide lots of fun. Beware of price gouging. This item normal retails for $19.99, but resellers are asking for much higher prices since it is getting harder to find. It's definitely not worth $79.99. At a lower price, I would buy 2, as well as plenty of spare tracks, to make a very fun and interesting train setups.

5 comments about V Tech - V.Smile Smartridge Bob the Builder.
- My son is 4 and he loves his new Bob the Builder V-Smile game. He picked it up and immediately starting playing (he didn't need Mom's help at all!) Good purchase!
- Overall the game is pretty good for my 3 year old. The graphics are pretty good and the game is fun. In time, when he masters the game, there are no additional levels to expand the game.
- My 3 y/o son love this game the race to pick up fruit and collecting nuts and bolts with letters is even more fun. He plays his v.smile every single day and with the left hand adjustment it even better. GET THIS GAME! GET A V.SMILE! FIND PEACE WHILE THEY LEARN!
- This is definatly a little boy game, my daughter is not intrested. The alphebet part isn't as helpful as one would think because it doesn't actually identify the letters just has you pick them up in order with arrows to tell you how to get to it, so I kid like my son can rush through it and not really pay attention to the letters and not get much out of it. It really does help with matching skills and such. and hand eye cordination. It is a fun game for my son and he enjoys playing it over and over but he just doesn't get as much out of it as I would like.
- Well, I'll start by saying I have my Master of Elementary Education and I am myself a gamer so I am more picky about things than others might be. One thing I don't like about the entire system and all the games is that they are designed so that the screen 'bounces' the whole time your child plays. This is trying on the eyes. That aside, some games are better than others. The graphics are too small on this game and blend in with the background.
Also, there is no game play instruction for the child in any of these games, so you have to figure out which objects are 'good' or 'bad'. For example, in this game, falling books are 'bad', and so is running into the blue cat, which causes you to loose life points. My son wanted to have his character play with the blue cat that is normally part of the stories.
I really expect better overall design and thought about how a child plays a game, and more instruction to the child is needed. Since this was my son's first system, I'd hoped they would provide pointers to him on what to do. In the VSmile ELMO game, one of the internal games gives some direction on what to do (such as: "hit the colored buttons to ...."), but I haven't seen that on this one yet.
Honestly, he was almost as ready to play on the grown-ups Wii bowling game and needed about the same level of assistance from us. When I was a girl, I played Mario Brothers. Perhaps my memory is off, but I thought the graphics back then were a bit better (or at least the same) in terms of contrast between objects internal to the game and it wasn't as hard for me to figure out how to play the game (how to move and what the goals were).
At one point in this game, Bob climbs up on a roof to find missing cutouts while trying to aviod roof pieces of the same tan/yellow color and pattern from falling on his head. Given that the cause of the roof holes is someone kicking brown boulders into the roof, it would have been better to have those as the hazard. They would have been easier to see. As it is, the little squares that fall and look just like the roof Bob is trying to fix blend in too much with the roof so my son doesn't see them coming.
I'll add one other comment: We bought the second joystick hoping that my son's younger sister would one day play with him. The games do not easily guide you or your child through how to select options such as "two player". In addition to that, I would love to see the games have a two player version that allows one player to play on the easy level and one player to play on the harder level. Smart programing would allow for this since many families are like ours and have several kids of different ages that could play the same game, just with minor differences. Failing that, it would be nice just to be able to toggle between the easy and hard settings more easily.

- This was purchased for my 3 year old granddaughter. I was delighted to find it half price at Amazon, compared to what I could find anywhere else. It was easy to install on our computer and my granddaughter was thrilled to be able to "start her games" herself. It is truly "plug and play" just as described. Even better, when she went to her games online, they were the ones she had been playing all along. The plug and play unit just protects her from leaving the site by accident and finding something she wasn't expecting or possibly interfering with the adults programs. Thanks Fisher Price, great toy.

- I was skeptical about the easy link, but I'm very happy to have received it. My children love being able to visit their favorite sites, and I take comfort in knowing that that they're 'locked' into that website. If there are other in-site links (such as a shop for the product link), the system will block it. My son loves the site, but also to play with the little characters - they are very durable.
The only thing that I was upset about (not affecting the product rating) is that you can find other characters sold through Amazon itself for approx $7-8, not the $20+ that third-party vendors are selling them for. Personally, I found them for anywhere between $1 - $3.50 on an after Christmas clearance. Shop around before spending big bucks.

- this is a great toy because I don't have to stop doing what I am in the middle of to help my child go from one site to another. I do wish there were more PBS kid sites available like "Super Why" & "Word World".

5 comments about Learning Curve Bob the Builder - Deluxe Talking Tool Belt Set.
- tool are hard to get in and out of tool belt but very nice tools
- I agree that this is pretty close to perfect. For the hard-hat, I put some of that sticky/foamy shelf liner stuff inside, just taping it to the edges. It prevented the hat from wobbling all over and falling off his head. Am now looking for more tools!
- My grand son just loves it! He spends all day pretending to build just like his Daddy. He's a natural builder!
- My 15 month old son really loves the hammer & the talking toolbelt. He's a little young for rest. Nice toy though.
- My grandson loves Bob the Builder and we can hardly get him to take his Bob the Builder hat and tool belt off! Excellent toy.
