Transforming Wall-E

I was a bit dubious about this toy. My son asked for it for Christmas and was very clear about it, he would accept no substitutes. I tried to convince him that a talking Wall-e would be much better, but he was having none of it. This toy is called "Transforming Wall-e", but in no way should it be confused with a "Transformer". The purpose of his toy is to take your standard Wall-e and turn him into his cube shape. That's it, nothing else. Well let me tell you, my son loves this toy and it seems quite durable. Simple toy, simple fun. Can't go wrong with that.

Product Description

WALLE quickly transforms from cube to fully poseable figure in seconds, ready to clean up the world.

Toys That Teach Your Child

When your children are crying their hearts out, the first things that will shut them up are their toys. If you give them their toys while they are having their tantrums, they forget about where they are and just do what they do best: play. This piece of information proves that toys are, in fact, very much important in your children's life.





Sometimes they think that it is too important that they never let go of it. Even if it is time to do homework or go to school, they still either stay home to play, or take their precious toys with them. This is the everlasting dillemma a parent has to face. You just can't let your kid let go of that toy when it is time to study. They just do not seem to know the difference between the time for playing and the time for studying. This is the main reason why educational toys were invented.


Educational toys make your children learn while playing. It is not that hard to mix business with pleasure. Your kid can learn while having fun, playing with her new educational toy.


The LeapPad Learning System is a set of books that seem to come to life with music, silly sounds, various games and voices, while your child is reading. This way, your child gets to catch up with the intonations of specific words and the way they are pronounced.


You can also avail for your child the Imagination Desk Library, which prepares your kid for kindergarten. With this educational toy, your child will be taught about a comprehensive preschool curriculum so that when your child does enter kindergarten, there will be less cramming. This library comprises of interactive coloring books that teach your child core concepts regarding math, reading and other sorts of life lesson books.


Another LeapFrog innovation is the LeapFrog Learning Videos. Your child will definitely find these videos totally fun and will want to watch and replay them over and over again. And since they learn so much, why stop them?


The Leapster L-Max Games covers quite a span of educational paraphernalia. It is a learning game system that provides your child the enjoyment from reading electronic storybooks to different digital art studio activities. Yes, it does cover quite so much, but that does not hinder its being portable. The Leapster L-Max Games is playable anywhere you take it.





Another educational toy that your kids are sure to love will be the Read Aloud LeapPad Plus Microphone Library. Never mind the long name, this toy, guaranteed, will never make your kids exhausted and tired of hearing lots and lots of stories out loud. Why is that? It will be so because they will be using their own voice! With this toy, your kids will be bringing reading to life as they read different stories with the microphone. There are other educational toys that you can choose from. You just have to think twice about which toys might pique your child's curiosity and which will definitely keep their interest. Prove to your kids that studying is not such a bore; show them that studying can be fun too. Your kids just need to have the right parents to buy them the right educational toy.

Amazing Toys - a great way to “learn” a living

As teachers, we learn how to do different jobs to supplement our income. One of the ways was to take things we worked on during class and come up with ideas for science toys. In 1991 a collaboration of science teachers got together to invent science toys that could one day make their way to the shelves.

The most popular science toy in the world - the Tornado Tube - was invented by Craig Burnham. Craig was our inspiration. My first science toy was a cute little pet squid called Squiddy.

We simply put these toys in the hands of 50 teachers and their students, and they took on a life of their own. Orders took off and soon my wife had to quit her job because the phone started ringing and we needed someone to process invoices.

Based in Salt Lake City, Be Amazing Toys started with this small group of scientists in Denver, Colorado. Now we have a toy company making 60 different educational toys and, if you walk the aisles of Toys 'R Us or Target you will know us. A group of teachers who wanted to be amazing, creating toys that came out of the classroom, to give kids something else to play with besides video games.

Checklist for Kids Toys

One reason why children have a hard time keeping their things organized is that most of them have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF!

Look around, how many toys does one kid need? I remember once standing in the midst of a room that looked like a bomb had gone off in it. We had visitors and their kids and ours were playing downstairs while we visited upstairs. I think the children pulled out every single Lego, car, truck and puzzle that our kids owned, you couldn't even see the floor for the mess. It was a disaster!
It was right about then that I got the idea to separate the different types of toys and store them according to activities. As some of the boys were still young enough to have afternoon naps, I decided that their bedrooms were going to be strictly for sleeping and 'quiet' activities. The only toys allowed in the bedrooms were things like: books, crayons, paperwork and coloring books, some puzzles, music boxes, stuffed animals, anything that one child could do alone that was not physically stimulating. They soon got the idea that when they spent time in their rooms, they were either be going to sleep or play quietly.
Outdoors, we fenced off the back yard and made a play area in one corner with a sand box and swings. We also went to the playground at the park quite often just for the walk and the chance to play with others.

Each child had their own library card and once every two weeks we all went to the library. You can get videos and audio tapes for children at the library. It is nicer than buying them as they can get a different one every two weeks so, you save money and they get a variety of entertainment.
We were very short of money in those days and one of the best investments we made was joining a toy co-operative. This was a group of parents and educators that paid a small yearly fee,( I think it was about $25.00) and the money was used to buy good quality, sturdy wooden, handmade toys. I think they bought them from non-profit agencies like the ones for the mentally handicapped or seniors who made beautiful puzzles, games, trucks, cars...all sorts of nice toys for young children. Once you paid your yearly membership you could go and take out a toy much like you go to the library to borrow a book except, in this case, you borrow a toy and return it in two weeks.

The kids got to play with toys we never could have afforded to buy for them and, as they could exchange them each week or two for a different one, they never got bored with them. Even if you don't have something like this in your town, you could start something up with your school or perhaps with other families in your neighbourhood.
Checklist for Toy Storage
Store toys with small parts ie: Lego, puzzles or building logs etc. in see through plastic containers or ice-cream buckets.
Put up shelving so children can store their containers neatly, in view, but up out of the way.
Make or buy a large toy box so the children can quickly pick up larger toys and get them up off the floor when cleaning up the play area.
A plastic shoe holder is a neat and inexpensive way to store small stuffed animals or anything that you don't want to toss into the toy box. Just hang it in a convenient place where it can be reached by the little people. These are fairly easy to make out of a piece of material with clear plastic. Just stitch onto it forming pockets. (Get the clear plastic by the yard in the fabric center.)
Get a couple of regular size plastic garbage cans with lids. They make excellent toy boxes and are relatively inexpensive
Netting can be strung up on one wall and stuffed toys and other larger items that aren't heavy can be stuck behind so the toys are visible but up off the floor and stored neatly.
Wooden wine racks can often be picked up at garage sales. Most that I have seen are like new and they make good storage racks. Use a Pringles potato chip can (cylinder) to store small puzzles or little cars etc and then store them in the cubbyholes in the wine rack.
Trunks, old dressers or chests are great places to store old clothing for dress up games. Go through your closet and see if there are items you don't want like purses, hats or clothing to donate to the dress-up bin.
Old dish drainers are good for storing small books, records and tapes.
Plastic or wicker laundry baskets are handy for odds and ends that don't fit anywhere else or toys that are used often.
Create a painting center, either in the basement laundry room or set aside a space in the bathroom or kitchen cupboards just for painting supplies. Keep finger paints and other art supplies in this area and insist that they be put back only after everything has been cleaned up. If you do this with them when you first start the painting center, they will learn how to take care of these messy things and it won't be all over the place.

Less is better, when shopping for gifts for your children buy the best you can afford and buy one gift rather than several.
When children have fewer possessions they treasure them more so every now and again weed them out. Encourage the children to donate the ones they want to part with to a worthy cause or sell them at a garage sale.
Toys like anything else occasionally need a wash so get the kids in the habit of cleaning them every now and again. Make sure you show them exactly how to do this so they don't soak everything down and ruin anything. Most toys just need a wipe with a damp cloth and I suggest using a disinfectant in the wash water.
Teach your children to take care of their belongings and set a good example by taking care of your own things properly.
Last but not least, while it is nice if children pick up their toys on their own, if you expect them to help you with household chores it's only fair that you help them with their toy pick-up. It's always more effective when you pitch in but make sure you let them know this is their responsibility and you are only their 'helper'.:)

Looks really neat! I got these for my 12 year old son's birthday. He is already an accomplished juggler. One of the balls does not always stay lit and even when it does it is dimmer than the others...perhaps a weak battery, or poor connection? The effect is so really cool looking with the lights out that everyone at my son's party couldn't take their eyes off the show!

Customer Reviews
Great price, fast shipping My son learned to juggle over the holidays but I was getting tired of all the clementines and apples that ended up smashed on the floor. I looked all over for these in the stores but not one to be found. Items arrived and were just what I was looking for.
Classic Juggling Balls

I would have liked to know that the balls appeared to have been repaired. They work, but each ball appears to have been re-sewn on a seam. This makes them not smooth. It would have been nice to know this info in advance and I probably would not have purchased balls in this used condition.

Juggling Balls The balls work as they should...I can juggle them. They have lots of colors. You can toss the balls around and they take a good beating.
