"With features like LCD eyes, enhanced memory, and the funky new fur patterns - the Furby Boom has the all awesomeness of the original mixed with the latest in technology!

There are 5 different personalities that can emerge (any kids looking to be a psychiatrist when they grow up?) AND Furby develops its personality based on how you play with it - so be nice unless you are looking to raise a gremlin!" – The Real Housewife of Singapore blogger.

"I am very satisfied with this product!! The parental lock is great being able to prevent certain things and the games are very interactive! Learning multiple things at once and the child has no clue they are learning because it's fun! The price is so worth it!" – Lilyr.

"As, a teacher, I put a very high value on the educational aspects of a toy. The LepPad Ultra is the perfect solution! It has many educational apps and games that you can buy, it has a very nice large touch screen, and it even has a camera that my son absolutely loves. It is very user friendly and my 3 year old son has no problems operating it on his own." –TeacherMomma.

Parents' reviews:

"It is also, due to simplicity of design, more durable. At this point, my middle daughter is practicing her horse archer skills, but with a Rebelle Bow and a bicycle. Works for me.I like it. It's fun, and not destructive." – John Hibbard.

"It's a very sturdy small bow with nerf darts, no assembly required, no instructions needed. The fun started immediately. It was very active toy, and kept her trying harder to do better, laughing the whole time. Good for both indoor and outdoor play. The only problem with it is that her father kept wanting a turn." – Georgen.

Parents' reviews:

"I am the mother of two 4yr old boys. My sons loved it. The vehicle itself is light and easy for my kids to pick up or push easily. So far the Shellraisers have been knocked down stairs, outside in the grass, on the driveway, and once accidentally put in the bathtub. After all of this not one piece has broken and they both still function perfectly." – Mother of 2.

"My guy loves this Van, he can fit other Ninja Turtles into it, and it's not to big to take places, the pieces aren't to small so I don't have a bunch of them laying around at pick up time." – TMNT Mom.

Parents' reviews:

"This cute little UBooly has been so much fun for our children (2.5 and 6)! It is also a really fun interactive toy for your children. You can ask it to read a story, tell a joke or do other things and it will actually do that! It's pretty fun. My kids love the interaction with Ubooly." – Linette

"Ubooly pairs with your iPhone or iPod Touch to become an interactive stuffed animal. This gift will be an exciting educational toy for your child to unwrap on Christmas morning. You just place your iOS device inside the stuffed animal and the Ubooly app does the rest.

A truly interactive toy that stimulates your child's creativity while teaching, Ubooly leads your child on imaginary adventures, tells jokes, or even just spouts out fun facts, which is why it's one of the best Christmas gifts for this season." – toptenreviews.com
