The box is eye catching for kids, but what you actually get in the box is a joke. Included is small envelopes of sugar, yeast, red an green food coloring, and gelatin (all available at your local grocer if not already in your kitchen), a balloon, a few q-tips, and 4 plastic petri dishes. That's it. You'd be much better off saving your money and downloading experiments off the internet or reading ideas in a book. Waaaaaayyyy overpriced and not very much fun. We've had much more fun finding slime recipes and science experiments online. What a waste of $20.00.

Scavenger Hunt is one of the best games we've ever had. Our entire family has fun with this one. It can get a bit messy while you're playing, but I really like that the last round of the game is clean up round! Definitely worth the price.

Our son was building all sorts of creations with Legos, but this KNex set has allowed him to build to a whole new level. He now can make things rotate, and flip, and transform! This is a great set for a child 5 and up. Our son plays for hours in his room with this and doesn't get bored.

Wow!! My nephews loved this rocket. Set up time is no time and it was easy for my 4 year old nephew and my 2 year old niece to use. Their mom loved it as well because the rocket is adjustable so they can use it in the house and adjust were you want the rocket to land. Now I have to go and buy another one so the kids aren't fighting over it anymore.

My kids (age 5, 3, 2) all love this although it keeps the attention of my youngest for the longest. The two cars it comes with are little, plastic, and lightweight. They fly down the track. Of our 20 or so metal diecast cars, we have ONE that is small and light enough to be equally as fast (I think it has a plastic body). Some of the others fit down the track but are slow because of their weight; still others are too long to make it down the tight spiral and get stuck. In theory it shouldn't matter if the track works with any other cars - except that we all know the two it comes with will someday be lost! It would just take a little hunting at Walmart or Target to find a small, lightweight replacement.

I have made bracelets for some of my grandaughters & grandson,friend in the neighborhood,a friend was in the area and seen her nephew with one and ask how did I make it.I showed her it and told her I bought it on amazon.com.Both my daughter in laws asked me to make them one.Only Destiny wanted to try to make her own.Everyone said it looked easy but had a hard time.It took me 10 minutes to figure it out.But showing people is alot easier them from directions & pictures.I enjoy this item very much.I make at least one a day.My grandaughters have quiet a few they wear.Ashley(6 yrs.) gave one to her best friend in school

I feel funny reviewing books that are older than I am (this was published in 1967), but I will share what I thought. I thought this was a cute story, and I don't know how I missed this one when I was young...it seems like it would have been just my style! And, except for a few details (such as how much things cost and the fact that Claudia wears a petticoat), it doesn't feel like it's outdated. I thought a couple of parts were particularly funny, like when Claudia and Jamie find an unopened candy bar on the ground, and Jamie wants to eat it. Claudia says "You better not touch it. It's probably poisoned or filled with marijuana, so you'll eat it and become either dead or a dope addict." How funny!

We got this for our son for his 11th birthday and he loved it. He has several of the nerf guns but this one is the "big daddy" plus it came with extra shells and a carrying strap. The adults at the party had fun with it too--the foam bullets shoot across the whole room or yard and fire off quickly. I'm not a gun enthusiast but the boys sure have a ball with it!
