Product Description

With My First LeapPad: Disney Enchanted Counting Tales, your kids can share in the magic of two delightful Disney Princesses and their enchanted counting tales. Help CInderella get ready for the ball and fight off her wicked stepsisters. Then join Ariel and her friends under the sea, for fun games that build important pre-school math skills. Kids will learn shapes by helping mice finish Cinderella's dress in time for the ball, and learn numbers as Cinderella dances with the Prince. From there, they'll unlock hidden treasure in Ariel's cave, then sing&count along with Ariel as she makes a deal with Ursula.

Girls who loves princesses will like this! 4
I played both sides of this LeapPad game with my 4 yr old (one side has Cinderella, the other has Ariel) - and we had fun. As with most leapPads, the storyline and the verbal cues are a little too delayed when prompting the child to do certain activities and she wanted to wing through the pages quickly because she didn't wait to listen for what to do next. I like the LeapPads, though, because they are more "book-like" than video games and I feel like she's interacting with the characters. I like the drawing feature on this one, where she can trace the shooting stars with the pen. It's a Nice, Happy product overall.

My First LeapPad - Disney Princess Counting Tales 3
This would be a very nice book for the pre-school set. The problem is with the actual LeapPad that is difficult even for an adult to get to work properly. It just keeps repeating itself. Maybe we have a defective LeapPad. I don't think the book is at fault. I would rate it higher if it worked properly on our machine.

Great! 5
My daughter loves the Princess from Duisney and she loves to count, perfect combination!!

Customer reviews

Durable Trailer 5
As a very active family, we wore out two of the cheap InStep trailers over three years. We finally decided to "bite the bullet" and get a high-quality trailer to last many years. We use it almost daily for cycling, grocery shopping (up to 100lbs), and walking.

It has room for our two youngest children and still has plenty of room behind the seats. In fact last Sunday we biked to church as a family and put a crock pot behind the seats!

All the parts are high-quality and are designed to last. The trailer is very light, due to the aluminum frame. It is made in the USA. Two screws for the reflectors were missing. We called Burley, and they mailed them right away.

The seating area is very well padded and is very comfortable. This trailer is like going from a Chevette (remember those?) to a Cadillac. This difference is noticeable.

The only thing to be aware of is this is a 2007 model, not the 2008 model. (The main difference is the '08 model has some type of suspension to smooth out more bumps.) Amazon's product description was not clear on this, but the price is still excellent.

This is last year's model! 1
The Burley gets five stars from me, but this transaction with Amazon gets one star. This Burley is a 2007 model, and Amazon doesn't tell you that. I probably would have ordered it even if Amazon had stated that this was a closeout of the 2007 model year, but they don't. Amazon even e-mailed me after I complained, and they admited that their description was incorrect, but they haven't changed it. Know what you are getting - a terrific "5 star" 2007 trailer. However in May 2008, Amazon should tell you that this is last year's model.

Pay a little extra and get a lot more 5
I am a real penny pincher, but this trailer is a real value. Everything that is extra with other top quality trailers is included. It is easy to use even for someone who hasn't been biking in a while. It arrived when it was planned to and in great condition. I will be using it everyday to haul my kids to daycare and me to work. My 4 year old is always ready to sit beside her 7 month old brother to get to school and just for going around the neighborhood.

Top Notch 5
I love this product and so do my kids. It's nice because I can send my husband out with the kids. They have fun while I get some time do get caught up. The product was missing one piece and Burley was supper helpful and shipped it to me right a way. No questions asked. I would totally buy from them again.

Great Product 5
Having read the 1 star Amazon reviews about this trailer, I nearly didn't go ahead and purchase, but am so glad I did. It arrived in just a few days and without any defects. I was concerned about how well the trailer would fit to my bike, but found that the rear wheel spindle of my bike bolts right through the bracket supplied with the trailer. As a qualified engineer, I cannot see how the trailer could become detatched from the bike without removing the spindle from the rear wheel of my bike. I would highly recommend this trailer, my daughter loves it, and so does my wife and I.

Puzzle Rack Review 5
The puzzle rack works well, it's best to put it on a wide surface as when it is pushed off by the children it makes a mess. So far it seems durable, the test will come when someone throws it. My class was very happy to have the puzzles back out. I did not rate this item on the fun category because it is a storage item not really a toy. It makes it a lot easier for children to find the puzzles they want which are fun.

Storage finally 5
This is great product to store wooden puzzles. It even holds the big handle puzzles too. This is a good buy!

a place for everything. . . 5
It's great to have a place to put puzzles that doesn't require moving the top eight to get to the one nine puzzles down! And it is yet another way to help the kids clean up after themselves!

single wire Puzzle Case 5
This is great for storing puzzles, especially the wooden ones with the knobs. It fits on a book case shelf! It's easy for my grandsons to find the puzzle they want without taking them all out, and it's good hand/eye for them to fit them back in the slots for storage.

Great idea, but not well-executed 3
I wanted a way to store my 2-year-old's wooden puzzles (mostly made by Melissa and Doug) so that they would be organized and she could access them as needed. So far I've been pretty frustrated with this wire storage.

It doesn't seem to fit puzzles well and they get stuck when taking them in and out of the slots. I can deal with this (although it's annoying) but my daughter is pretty much unable to remove and store the puzzles because they do not go in and out smoothly.

Also, it slides around on the shelf, making it even more difficult to remove and put back the puzzles.

So, great idea, but needs some adjustments so it really works.

Best Toy 5
My little boy started playing with this toy at three weeks old! This is toy is on his top 5! It keeps him entertained! Very durable! Happy baby=Happy mommy!

Me and my daughter love it 5
I receive this as a gift, and is a great toy!!!
My daughter actually can play for hours with it, and doesn't stop to laugh!

Wonderful for Entertaining While Diapering 5
We received this for our 2 month old son and he adores it. It has different songs from other baby items which is really appreciated. We have it on the bed area where we change him and it entertains him while we are diapering and then he stays and plays and gives us a chance to do something else. He gurgles and talks to it, it was a great gift.

Perfect Playtime Treat 5
My twin daughters absolutely adore this toy! They each have their own and have spent countless hours entertaining themselves and exploring and discovering the songs and how to make them play. The characters are so cute and the colors so bright and vibrant. The Tummy Time Gym is a great way for me to encourage them to spend time on their tummies while being kept busy and active doing it. I love this toy and so do my 5 month old girls!

Just getting started with it... 4
We got this toy as a present for our newborn. I originally thought this would be too old for him (he's now just 3 weeks old) and still not yet playing with the interactive features (batting the toys to make music, etc.), but my wife and I love the mirror on the front of this toy. It enables us to watch our son and make sure that he's safe during tummy time. The music the toy makes also seems to sooth him. This was a cinch to set up and seems really sturdy. We can't wait to see what our son does with this toy, next.

great 5
these shoes look really cute on my son. He likes them a lot, and he is very comfortable in them at day care. :)

Well made and CUTE 5
My daughter has been wearing these for months, she's 3. A small child can easily put these on by themselves due to them being one big velcro flap. I like that they look like laces but aren't. I find that the color has went well with her wardrobe. They are very cushy and comfy.

Old Snake isnt so old. Complete the collection! 5
Solid Snake is old now. Right, well hes still a killing machine. One of the greatest games that will be released soon, if you're a fan of the series since its original release way back when. Whether you want to tear open the package, have some fun and start your own brawl, let it sit on a shelf and collect dust (or get some protection >_>) whatever the case. Buy it, love it, and complete your collection and remember one of the greatest series Konami has had.

I like it 5
The other two reviews on here have their points and I agree with one person on most of his points. But for me, it's not hard to stand up the figure at all. Just put him wherever you want and he stands. He doesn't move much but that is because he supposed more like a statue figure than an action figure. I like the details on the figure. I agree that the pic doesn't depict the actual product but it's not the far off. Everything still looks good to me. I'm not a hardcore collector but I might go after the MacFarlane series after this. But if you like MGS and are excited for MGS 4 than you might want to think about getting the figure.

Do Not Buy This Action Figure! 1
The picture of the product is very different from the real thing. The actual figure is faded and Snake's face looks like it's melting. The only joints that are bendable are it's arms but you can't really adjust them that much. The legs of the figure DO NOT MOVE WHAT-SO-EVER! This is the real reason I'm giving it one star. I wanted to put this on my computer desk but it won't even stand because the legs are so close together. It doesn't even come with some type of stand like the old G.I. Joe figures.

In conclusion, look somewhere else or just save your money, but whatever you do don't buy this product.

Nice details but it is stiff . Good for average but ok for hardcore fans. 3
It has nice details but if you are used to the details of McFarlane toys or some high-end toy maker you might be a little disappointed. The legs are stiff(no articulation points) and hard to balance, it has 8 articulation points(only), the holsters are made of the same plastic as the rest of the figure, the gun in the holster is just painted(not removable like in the MGS2 McFarlane version) and only comes with the assault rifle and knife. If you are a regular buyer it would be a good buy, but if you are a hardcore fan and liked the quality of the MGS2 McFarlane series you will be overpaying for an OK piece. The paint is good but don't expect it to be as good as the real heroes version(from the same maker) of this statue.
