I bought this for my nephew who just turned 3. He loved the little figures and was matching them to the poster provided, sorting them by the numbers on their feet, putting them in color order, etc. Great educational toy!!!

I completely agree with the other reviews but there are a couple of points that people should know. There were 4 2-packs, 1 10-pack, and 2 4-packs released along with he "arena" that means that if you look on the back of the package you will see several figures that have not been and will not be released. Kind of dissapointing to know that you can't get awesome figures like the winged snake. Also several of the figures are just repaints, why they chose to do repaints when they have unused molds laying around is anybody's guess. Overlooking that this is a great game for young kids and could eventually lead to more complicated, involved games you can play with your kid. Settlers of Catan is great for when they get a little older. ^_~

Kindergarten boys in my child's school LOVE these "Busters." Using simple math skills, they do "battle" with each other. Numbers on the bottoms of the plastic figures relate to the cards that come with them. Kids love them so much they don't even realize they are doing simple math (addition and subtraction) in order to play. Too simple for older kids, but just right for the younger crowd.

My children and I really enjoy playing with the Number Busters game. My sons are 3 and 4, and are usually bored very easily when we try to do anything "educational." Because they thought they were playing with action figures, it was easy for me to sit down with them and play while actually teaching them basic number skills. It was a great game for us to play together and now I can't get them to let go of the figures.

Purchased the golf set for my 16 month old. The clubs are good size and fairly sturdy. My only concern is that the plastic balls are small enough to fit in a toddler's mouth, so I replaced them with larger plastic balls to be safe.

Little folks can now golf right along with the grown-ups. This set provides 3 clubs (woodie, driver, putter) 3 balls, tees and an over-the-shoulder carrying case - just like daddy's. Tiger Woods started young (18 months old), probably with a set just like this.

i was hoping this would last my neice for awhile ,but because its so small i fear she will probably grow bored of it. very cute but expensive considering the size.

First of all, I went to many Toy Stores looking for this toy and no one had it. Then it dawned on me let me check Amazon and there it was. I was sooo happy and I knew that this toy would bring much joy to my 1 year old niece for Christmas. That little girl just L-O-V-E-S her Moo Moo Moower Moonica. She loves the sounds that come out of it and she plays with it on a daily basis. She gets upset if you turn off the sound and she knows that the sound button is at the bottom of it. This product by Little Tykes is great. Thank You Amazon for having this product at my disposal. Your Loyal Customer.....Katrina Martinez

While I was very excited to get this toy for my 18 month old, I have been very disappointed in it. Within two days of getting it, it started making a very strange cranking sound. We took it apart and "greased" it up with some graphite. Put it back together and it worked perfectly, for almost a week. Then, the sound returned. This time when we took it apart, we discovered that the internal lever simply couldn't take the constant use and was slipping. No way to fix that. Definitely not sturdy enough for a child!!

We got this for our 3 year old, but our 1 year old loves it too. Even though she's not walking yet, because she can crawl so quickly, she loves the mooing and plays with it every chance she gets. For such an inexpensive toy it really is worth it. I can't imagine a child not enjoying this, because it is so cute, and they get to pretend to mow the grass like dad. Since it is winter they are "moowing" indoors right now, but this would be fun outside also(weather permitting).

My 15-month old LOVES this toy!! It makes noise, the head moves, and she's able to push it around easily. The bonus to this toy is that although it makes noise, it isn't terribly irritating or loud. I highly recommend this for your little one!

This is a unique and heartwarming story of a lion cub who grew up vegetarian. For those that believe in Heaven and creation, it is a wonderful glance into what was and will be again. For those that do not, it is an interesting and sweet story of a lion who grew up detesting meat and blood. For those who do not know how to eat healthfully as a vegetarian or those that do not understand that no creature truly has the need for ingesting meat or blood, this may seem baffling. But for those of us who have been vegetarian for generations, and healthfully and wonderfully so, or have raised "carnivores" as vegetarians and watched them lead healthy, happy, long lives, it is easy to understand! No matter what side of the creation/evolution carnivore/vegetarian belief you may be on, you will enjoy this non-religious story of the lion who grew up as a gentle giant. It is a wonderful read for children, families, and adults alike. Enjoy!

Little Tyke was truly as gentle as a house kitten. As a boy I knew Georges and Margaret Westbeau and Little Tyke. Not once did Tyke ever display the negative tendencies we expect from a wild animal. She was raised as a member of the Westbeau family, would eat out of your hand, kiss you on the cheek and rub against you for attention. Raised in an atmosphere of love, she returned love to those around her. I have given dozens of copies of Little Tyke as gifts since it's first publication in the 50's, and will continue to do so. Little Tyke definatly understood humans. Her story will change the way you view a lion forever.

A lion cub is born, apparently allergic to meat and blood. While the diet described should have resulted in blindness and death, she grows to normal sized adulthood as a family pet (!) light reading, no explainations offered. Ripley's believe it or not is offered as a witness. More of a kids book than a serious analysis of the implications, it is a good read and the photos are amazing.

We loved this bouncer and it was just the right size to fit in our living room. But after less than a year (we purchased this last Christmas) the seams started to pop one by one with very minimal usage and with only 2 children playing on it at a time. When the last one blew, it became totally useless because there is just a huge air bubble in the middle of the bouncer that is almost as high as the sides. It would be dangerous for the kids to play on, so we are stuck throwing this one out and getting a new one. I am going to look for one with a year warranty.

Either I didn't read the ad for this product, or it didn't state that the blower has to stay on while in use, because that is the only down for this product. I have it in the living room so it will last as long as possible, but will remove it to outside when it warms because of the noise. The grandchildren love it regardless of where it is located.

This was inexpensive, easy to use, and keeps my kids happy for about a half hour at a time. A great investment. I only have a couple of complaints and they are pretty minor. 1) It is heavy (I bought a large workout bag from Target to carry it.) 2) It doesn't (quite) inflate the main cross tube. 3) It it a bit hard to tie off the air-tube from the blower the first few times - Then you learn how. These are all very very minor complaints. The item is great! Make sure you have room for it, though and some room for the kids to get out. It is large. (That's why we bought this one - that and the price!)

It of course is not the same quality as a professional jumper, but for the money, wow, it's been great. We had a BBQ with kids from 2-11 and they had a blast and in spite of being severely abused, it held up wonderfully...

I bought this bouncer for my two kids, who are 5 and 2. They love it. Where we live summers can be very hot and I needed something active for my kids to do inside. Our house is small, but the bounce house fits in my dinning room fine. The kids have a blast, and the best part is when they're done, I turn off the blower and fold it up and get it out of the way. It is very easy to set up and take down, less than 5 minutes each. It's very durable, no problems with any leaks so far. We have played in it everyday since we got it and had as many as 5 small children in it. I am so glad I found it!
