The Melissa And Doug Easel Is Designed for Maximum Creativity
February 18th, 2016
Let your little Picasso practice their painting with the help of the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel. This Melissa And Doug Easel features a dry erase board on one side and a chalkboard on the other. Kids can use the included clips to attach drawing paper to the top, allowing them to paint or draw like the real artists! When their masterpiece is finished, the handy cutting edge located at the top of the easel will help them to cleanly remove their work. The Melissa And Doug Easel can be folded up for easy storage in closets or under the bed and comes with a tray for holding paint cups, brushes and chalk.
With a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 from a total of 554 Amazon user reviews, it is safe to say that this Melissa and Doug easel is a hit. I did, however, come across many reviews that said that the chalkboard side simply didn’t work. Frustrated users wrote that their children were unable to make even a mark using chalk on the chalkboard. Not everyone had this complaint, many were completely satisfied with the easel and highly recommended it. Hopefully the problem with the chalkboard was just a fluke.

Emeril Pro Clad Cookware Allow You To Cook With Emeril Lagasse
February 10th, 2016
Emeril’s 10 piece Pro-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware is a joy to use in your kitchen. There is a tool for most everything you might attempt in cooking or preparing a meal. The set includes the following: A ten inch fry pan, a one point five quart sauce pan, a two point five quart sauce pan, a three quart saute pan, a six quart dutch oven, a steamer insert and four glass lids. The Stainless Steel Cookware contains a thick core layer of aluminum, bonded between two layers of stainless steel. This feature provides fast even heating. Have you ever experienced a few raw tasting fried potatoes? The problem is that your frying pans heat distribution is uneven.
With this set of Emeril Cookware the fired potatoes would be browned and cooked thoroughly. The six quart Dutch Oven is great for fixing that home made beef stew. Just brown the meat, onions, garlic in a little oil, add the beef broth and some water, bring to boil, then simmer for a while. Toss the vegetables in to cook slowly and serve with a ladle right from the pan. The shiny stainless steel is a nice kitchen addition. Enjoy!

Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD Offers An Innovative Way To Teach Kids
February 8th, 2016
The Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD is full of educational fun for little tadpoles ages 2-5. Kids will enjoy learning about the letters from their favorites from the cast of Leap Frog characters. Featuring the beloved Leap, Tad and Lily, kids can tag along as the three friends follow where adventure leads. A trip to the Factory of Letters introduces children to silly songs to help them remember the sound each letter makes. The Leap Frog DVD includes an interactive game that allows kids to practice the skills that they have gained from watching the story. Honestly I was hard pressed to find a bad review. Fun songs will have kids singing letter sounds in no time.
The best I could do was find a handful of reviews that merely gave the DVD a rating of 4 stars out of 5. While reading the “bad” reviews I noticed that there was not a common theme to the less than perfect reviews; one reviewer deducted a star because they would have liked the DVD to be available in Spanish, another deducted a star because they had a problem with the DVD playing correctly. With a 5 out of 5 star rating from over 800 Amazon customer reviews, this Leap Frog DVD is probably a safe bet for parents and caregivers looking for a fun and educational DVD!
