Review:“Omg how fun is this!! I bought this for my 6 year old son who loves to draw. As soon as I showed him how this works he was all excited lol.I love that it comes with 50 papers and a few sticks (cause we all know kids can easily lose these sticks in a heart beat) for only $10-12. Very reasonable/affordable price and fun for kids and adults alike!” —baddie.xo
Review:“7 year old grandchild in a Roblox phase was ecstatic with this set! Good price and a set like this gives more fun and more creative play, in my opinion than a single character.” —Amzn Freq Shopper
Review:“We’ve only had these installed a few hours, but so far I am very happy with my purchase. We bought two of these for a 3 and 7 year old, the ease of changing the hanging height for each is perfect. Everything feels well made, sturdy, and quality.” —Erin
Review:“We gave our 6 year old son this for Christmas. It was an absolute hit!Easy to learn and easy and fun to play.We finally opened the game tonight and spent about 2 hours playing this game (which if you have a 6/7 year old you know it’s a LONG time). It’s not a long game, that’s just how long we played before it was bedtime. We had to take a break and he ran for a notepad and left me this note. Great game.” —Amazon Customer
Review:“I have three boys ages 4 to 8 who loved this crystal growing set. We had great success growing 6 large crystals.” —Michael Snow

These aren’t just random toys; they’re carefully selected tools for exploration, creativity, and pure, unbridled fun that make growing up feel like the coolest journey ever.
Review:" I can’t even deny that I’m a 30 year old woman and bought this for me. It was too cute that I couldn’t resist.It’s super soft, very bright, and has a wide array of colors.I didn’t get the one with the remote as I read that has a 2 hour window. This one goes for hours on my nightstand and I don’t think it is possible that it could make me any happier. For those who actually purchase this for kids, it illuminates the room but softly enough to not be a distraction and keep up a child. I know this because of my little nephew. He adores this just as much as I do. He enjoys poking it since it’s a soft rubbery substance." —thumpybutt
Review:“I’m a new Nana, and I really haven’t spent much time with the new additions to our blended family. So I wanted to get something crafty that wasn’t going to make a mess to entertain the kids so the grown ups could play some cards. This kept her busy for a couple of hours. She really enjoyed the colorful paper and the instruction book. It was fun watching her do these.This is a great kit for crafty kids that likes hands on sort of activities.The paper is really good quality and the colors are vibrant.” —geekygourmet
Review:“I recently came across a video of PopDarts on social media and immediately had to get myself a set. I noticed there’s multiple game sets like this on Amazon, but it’s VERY clear these are the REAL PopDarts and any other ones are fake copycats. Throwing them takes some getting used to, just like any throwing game would, so don’t get discouraged if they don’t stick the first several times! I even found that they have tutorial videos on how to throw.The quality is amazing, and they stick VERY well.I was even able to pick up a bar stool with one stuck to it! 10/10 I will be buying more as they come out with expansion packs and other colors, and I will be telling all my friends about this game!” —Hannah Marie
Review:“Amazing product! I just won coolest mom of the year for these. My kids love drawing and this is the most fun they have ever had! It’s super fun to use in the dark but it works perfectly well with the lights in as well.” —ana fraser
Review:“My daughter loves it. The USB charger it came with didn’t work but I had one many extras.Love that it is rechargeable and you don’t need batteries.Fun toy and good purchase. I highly recommend. Had volume controls for the music and voice options. Great Quality.” —S.S.

Review:“I’m a homeschool mom of 10 year old twins and was pleasantly surprised at all the features this globe contained. The boys listened to fact after fact about various animals, places around the globe, inventions etc. I lost count of how many times I heard, “mom did you know…”? Should I admit to how many of those things I didn’t know?? Anyway, I appreciated that this was so easy to get started on. We downloaded the app to our ipad 2, created their log ins and they were on their own.There’s quizzes and games for them to play, which helps them remember what they heard.Once everything is downloaded wifi isn’t required! Personally, I think the globe itself is nice looking on their shelf! Though my boys are at the top of the target age, I see them enjoying this toy for awhile!” —Crdaisy
Review:“Got this for my kindergarten classroom. Just hope I don’t lose it. It’s so cute and great sound quality.” —Joei Rose
Review:“The glow in the dark Alpaca pop it gets a 5/5 stars.It does exactly what it’s meant to, it’s pretty good quality compared to the one other pop it my son has.This is of a higher quality, It’s thicker and over all feels better in your hands. My son doesn’t care for the pop it sounds, but one side of the pop it does make a decent popping sound…I’m glad I took the chance and got it because my son really wanted a glow in the dark pop it and he loves it.” —Amazon Customer
Review:“I bought this for my six-year-old grandson for Christmas. He loves it and finds it entertaining and challenging. His mom said there are many different levels so it should keep him occupied and engaged for a long time.” —Happy Nonni
Review:“My 7, 10 and 14 year old grandchildren love these! I have ordered another set and they cannot wait until it arrives.” —Gaga ELF
