Osmo Genius Kit For iPad Review:

We will begin by telling you about the features of the Osmo Genius Kit For iPad  and giving you an overview of each one…

What’s Inside The Box?…

The Genius kit is made up of the Osmo iPad base, or stand, and a reflector, game playing pieces for the Word game which are tiles with upper and lower case letters on them, numbered tiles for the Numbers game, shaped tiles for the Tangram game, and stackable storage containers.

An iPad is not included.

The Osmo Genius Kit For iPad is basically five award-winning games that instantly transform your iPad into a hands-on educational tool.

Three of the games come complete with their own pieces which are needed to play them, the other two games are online and you will need either a pen and paper or a whiteboard and markers to play them, however these are not included.

The Games…

First there is Newton, which is a problem solving physics based game…

Then there is Tangram which encourages visual thinking by focusing on problem solving and spacial awareness…

Next up is Words which teaches phonics and vocabulary in a really fun and entertaining way, and can be played with friends to add a little bit of competition…

Which brings us to Numbers which uses numbered physical tiles to count, add and multiply taking the stress out of math and making it fun and creative…

And last we have Masterpiece which is an amazing drawing tool that teaches creative drawing skills, from how to draw everything from simple lines right through to detailed drawings. It also includes a time lapse video for easy sharing. 

The Rest…

The Osmo Genius Kit For iPad is designed for kids aged 5-12 years and can be adjusted to match the skill levels of each child. This is great as the increased difficulty of each level keeps kids progressively learning, keeps the learning fun, and stops them getting bored.

As mentioned above, an iPad is required to play but is not included in this package.

The Osmo Genius Kit For iPad is compatible with iPad 2-6, iPad mini 1-4, iPad air 1-2, iPad pro 9.7 & 10.5 inch. The base also adjusts for larger iPads.

And just so you know something of its pedigree, this toy was also awarded Toy-Of-The-Year 2015, and won the Time Magazine Award For Best Inventions Of 2014!

Customer Opinion:

osmo genius kit reviews

As you can see from the screenshot, at the time of writing this product has a rating on Amazon.com of 4.4 out of 5 stars from 191 customer reviews.

And out of those 191  people who left reviews an impressive 75% give it the full 5 out of 5 stars…

A further 9% rate it a 4 star product…

While only 7% of them give it just 1 star.

Some of the things that people who have purchased this product have been saying are:

One of the main things being said is that the Osmo Genius Kit For iPad is a great learning tool that actually makes learning fun for kids…

For example the ‘Materpiece’ app is a brilliant way for kids learning to draw as it gives them the chance to try new styles of art while getting quick and easy instruction…

And the ‘Words’ app is really great because it massively helps young kids learn new words in a fun and engaging way. It also helps them develop their pronunciation of new words quickly…

Another great thing commented on is that the Osmo Genius Kit For iPad combines the benefits of a high ticket computer vision system like the HP Sprout, with the touch screen capability and ease of use of the iPad

And because it comes with easy to use software, and manipulatives that children are already familiar with from pre-school age to kindergarten and above they have no trouble using it.

People also like that the stand and reflector are really very easy to set up, you just put your iPad into the base and place the red reflector over the iPad’s camera. The base can be adjusted to fit different size iPads too…

And downloading the apps couldn’t be simpler. Plus the games are easily adaptable to  suit different ages and abilities. You don’t even need any batteries to run the Osmo Genius Kit and once you have installed the apps you don’t even need WiFi any more!

We also had a look at some of the reviews where this toy was only given three stars and found that a couple things to be aware of are:

You do have to remove your ipad from its protective case in order to be able to use it with the Osmo Genius Kit, as a result there have been incidents of accidents happening and screens getting shattered.

Another thing to bear in mind is that some people have an issue with the software in that the Osmo Genius Kit worked differently on different iPads.

Making Osmo Genius Kit For iPad a MUST for anyone that wants to help their children progress rapidly in school!!

Verdict:

The Osmo Genius Kit For iPad is a very popular new toy this Christmas and all set to be one of the best selling Christmas toys for 2018.

With this in mind we strongly recommend that you order early from Amazon.com to get it delivered well in time for Christmas and avoid disappointment.

Alternatively, if you are staying for the review we will have a look at the key features first and then get into the main review

Key features of the PAW Patrol – Ultimate Rescue Fire Truck

  • The Ultimate Rescue Fire Truck is a great gift for kids aged 3+. Requires 2 AAA batteries (included). Collect all the Ultimate Rescue vehicles and go on exciting new adventures with the PAW Patrol

PAW Patrol – Ultimate Rescue Fire Truck Review…

The PAW Patrol Ultimate Rescue Fire Truck is huge, measuring 7 x 25.5 x 14 inches and very well made from strong and durable plastic and not the flimsy thin stuff used to make cheaper toys.

You also get a separate Mini Fire Cart which is stored inside the fire truck and perfect for running hose to the fire.

The Ultimate Fire Truck also has a mini fire hose that can be used on smaller missions.

Fantastic Attention To Detail…

This fire and rescue vehicle is fully loaded from front to back with a range of moving equipment allowing it to complete any rescue operation.

With its flashing lights, moving parts and sounds it has everything needed to keep kids entertained for hours…

And all the moving parts work smoothly the way they’re supposed to.

You get an impressively long 2 ft ladder on the truck, and 3 water cannons that shoot little blue plastic jets of water at the fire.

The truck also has outriggers to keep it standing upright when the ladder is off balance…

But it if it does fall over there’s very little chance of it getting damaged as it’s built like a tank!

One  really cool feature in particular is the little grabber arm which can be used to rescue people and small animals from danger…

Kids Just Love The Realism…

The sounds it makes are pretty realistic and not overbearingly loud…

But the coolest part for many kids are the two buttons on top they can use to produce a variety of light and sound effect combinations…

This makes for some really great interactive play.

And the lights flash in different sequences for each of the individual sound effects…

The PAW Patrol Ultimate Rescue Fire Truck also comes with several smaller accessories that allow it to be used as a stand alone toy…

So there’s no need to buy any other Paw Patrol toys if you don’t want to…

It comes with just one figure – Marshall…

Unfortunately the pups are not included so you’d have to purchase them separately if you wanted them…

And there is room for all six of them in a special compartment in the fire truck for when Marshall needs a helping paw.

For a great deal on the PAW Patrol – Ultimate Rescue Fire Truck check it out for yourself right away over on Amazon.com.

But furReal toys aren’t like other plush toys that look great and do very little…

These toys, are made for interactivity, they are meant to be played with like real friends, or even part of the family…

And as such they can help kids create some unforgettable and truly amazing childhood memories.

Co-Pilot Chewie stands 16 inches tall, weighs in at approximately 4 pounds, and requires 4 AA batteries which are included.

The batteries are demo batteries and don’t last very long at all so you will need to buy some more.

Chewbacca, (or ‘Chewie’ to his best friends) is famous for being Han Solo’s loyal friend and co-pilot in the Star Wars movies…

Where they battled side by side against the dark forces of Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire…

And now the furReal Ultimate Co-pilot Chewie figure can be your kids’ trusted sidekick and loyal companion in  arms, standing together through thick and thin, and battling evil wherever their imaginations take them!

This amazing and interactive, plush Wookiee companion comes pre- programmed with over 100 different sound-and-motion combinations…

And kids just love seeing their favorite Wookiee’s often comical facial expressions as he responds when they speak to him, speaking Wookiee of course!…

And when he feels like he’s got a point to make, he’ll even emphasize what he’s saying by raising his arms as he roars…

He also laughs as well…

And you just never know how he’s going to respond when he’s in motion!

But the furReal Ultimate Co-Pilot Chewie Interactive has got a tender side to him too, like when he makes little contented sounds when he gets a friendly stroke, or scratch on the head.

And after a long day of protecting the galaxy against Darth Vader and the forces of evil, and it’s time to get some sleep…

Yeah, he even snores!

This furry best friend is always standing by, ready for the next mission, wherever it may lead, and however big or small it may be…

In fact he is ready and waiting to become friends with kids who love both the Star Wars stories…

And any and all, new intergalactic adventures their imaginations lead them on…

Kids can make believe they’re Han Solo, or another Rebel, who, together with their loyal Wookie co-pilot and companion, are embarking on another important mission to save the galaxy from Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers!

Right now you can get an amazing deal if you get this toy on Amazon where you can save an extra $25.00 at checkout.

This usually happens after she’s been given a drink…

“Uh oh! Got to go!”…

Then you just sit her on her potty and push her belly button and she’ll pee!

Baby Alive can also dance…

Squeeze her left hand and she dances for you…

She also does a little “potty dance” while she’s having a pee…

And she also asks to hold hands and dance, speaks, blinks, drinks water and pees just like a human baby…

Little Live Scruff-A-Luvs Blue Review

little live scruff-a-luvs reviewAll kids want a pet for Christmas so what could be better than giving a home to unloved and abandoned Little Live Scruff-A-Luvs?

These are looking set to become one of the most popular kids toys this Christmas.

In this full review we will take you through the features and tell you what to expect from this toy, as well as telling you what people who have already bought it are saying.

If your’e in a hurry and don’t have time to read the full review right now you can click here to go straight over to Amazon.com and check it out for yourself

Alternatively if you are sticking around we will start by looking at the main features of the Little Live Scruff-A-Luvs before getting into the full review…

The basic features…

  • These unloved and abandoned pets are in need of your help!
  • When buying your Blue Scruff-a-Luv, they arrive as a sad ball of matted fur, but once you bathe them, dry them, brush them and love them, you will discover what kind of pet they really are!
  • Who will you rescue? A Pink Puppy, Kitten or Bunny?
  • Just like real pets, Scruff-a-Luvs love to be washed and groomed. The more time you spend caring for them, the cuter they become.
  • Scruff-a-Luvs is a proud supporter of The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. By adopting a Scruff-a-Luv, you will be helping us to donate to the ASPCA so that we can help to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States
  • Includes 1 x Pink Scruff-a-Luv, grooming brush, collar with name tag and adoption certificate

Here’s The Full Little Live Scruff-A-Luvs Blue Review…

Before you open the box you don’t know what pet you are actually getting.

It could be a puppy, a kitten, or a bunny.

Upon opening the box you get this matted up scruff ball that looks a bit like a new born with its hair all pasted down against its head with goop!

You also get a hair bow,  a brush, a collar and an adoption certificate.

In order to reveal what animal you’ve actually got, a kitten, a puppy or a bunny you need to bath and groom it…

This really is a fun process for kids and something they really seem to enjoy…

However you probably already know that bath-times can get a bit messy, right!

scruff a luvs amazon

But it’s worth it to see the looks on kids faces as they see the transformation taking place right before their eyes!

And once your little live Scruff-A-Luv is all bathed and groomed, it really is quite a cute little thing…

And the more times you wash and groom it the cuter it gets!…

The manufacturers recommend giving your little live Scruff-A-Luv a nice bath to wash out its matted fur by first washing it in a large bowl, or a sink of water…

You can use child-friendly soap or body wash for washing but remember to rinse off thoroughly in clean water at least once.

After rinsing well make sure that you squeeze out all the water.

You can then dry your Scruff-A-Luv by first thoroughly rubbing it with a large towel, and then finishing off by drying with a hair dryer – just like they do at a pet salon!

Start by using a large hairbrush to get them tangle free and then use the Scruff-A-Luv brush to add the finishing touches.

And if you keep brushing its fur and give them a little shake while you are drying them you will  fluff up their fur at the same time.

After drying, you can make them look and feel gorgeous by giving them a good brushing and putting on their collar and hair clip.

Be sure your child takes the time to enjoy the whole process and the results should be great!

There’s also the added bonus of your kid learning what is involved in taking care of a small pet with regular bathing and grooming…

Plus they will love that they “rescued” it …

And you will love that they love helping and caring for an unfortunate animal so much.

There are 6 Scruff-A-Luvs to adopt, a puppy, a kitten, and a rabbit which each come in blue and pink…

And when you do adopt one you will also be helping Scruff-A-Luvs to donate to the American Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals

Which means you will be helping to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.

You can begin the adoption process, help prevent animal cruelty, and get a great deal on this toy over at Amazon.com by clicking here.

Verdict…

We really like the little live Scruff-A-Luvs for a number of reasons…

First, you just don’t know which one you are going to get, and kids just LOVE surprises…

Secondly they help to develop a caring and compassionate nature in kids by giving them the sense that they have actually rescued an animal in distress…

And likewise with the bathing and grooming involved…

And thirdly, once a Scruff-A-Luv is fully restored, kids love them no matter what!

Plus the more you wash and groom them, the cuter and fluffier they get too.

The only downside, if you can call it a downside, is that the bathing and grooming can be quite time consuming, and messy!

Then again, that’s all just part of the fun…

And the main reason we highly recommend Little Live Scruff-A-Luvs as an amazing little gift this Christmas…

Click here for a really good deal and delivery in time for Christmas on Amazon.com.
