1. Touch Discover Alphabet Town Touch & Discover Alphabet Town
from V.Smile
Price: $15.99

Customer Review:
Yes, it's cute and yes it lights up, but it's teaching the wrong things. I AM a teacher and the phonics section of the toy is totally wrong! Many of the consonants are mispronounced, adding the "uh" sound to the end. Also, when my son doesn't "perform" to acceptable levels, it boo's him and puts a... more info

We got this table for our 2 boys (4.5 and 18 mos) for the holidays and they still play with it everyday! We have it in our basement family room and use it as a snack / play-doh table with the top on.

4. Radio Flyer Kids Wheelbarrow Radio Flyer Kid's Wheelbarrow
from Radio Flyer
Price: $29.99

Customer Review:
It was easy to put together. My 2 year old uses it down at our barn to clean stalls just like Mommy does. She has a little trouble balancing it on one wheel, but she is getting the hang of it. If you are a horse person, it holds 2 flakes of hay. Great!!!!!

Price: $39.99

Customer Review:
The boys like it. One of the cars didn't work so had to get it replaced. When I called for replacement they wanted me to send both cars and the white bar back. I told them no, I might as well send the whole thing back then. After talking with a manager they decided to send me a working car. I got... more info

from LeapFrog
Price: $19.89

Customer Review:
My daughter absolutely loves this fun and educational toy. It stays on the fridge so it stays separate from her other toys, the minute she walks in and pushes a letter in her attention is caught for a while. She is turning three soon and knows a lot of her alphabets and also knows the entire... more info

8. TV Mini Golf TV Mini Golf
from Toys
Price: $24.99

Customer Review:
This toy is so much fun for adults and kids alike. Santa (grandma) brought it, so I had not heard of it and was not expecting much. Ours works REALLY well - the club is too short for adults but the base is easily raised. My 7 year old daughter and her friends play it for hours at a time - this is a... more info

9. Wooden Take-Along 24-piece Tool Kit Wooden Take-Along 24-piece Tool Kit
from Melissa and Doug
Price: $8.96

Customer Review:
This is a fun little kit and the only complaint I would have is handle placement. It is sometimes hard to get pegs out once they have been hammered in. The paint finish could be better as paint seems to chip off easily. The price should have been a bit lower for the quality.

10. V.Smile Joystick V.Smile Joystick
from V.Smile

Customer Review:
If my four year old son has no problems operating this joystick, I can't see where there are too many problems with it. I believe it was well designed for children in its size and ease of operation. I will say, however, that I was amused with the fact that it swivvles to either a right-handed... more info
