Educo Rainbow Bead Abacus Review

This is a very well-made, substantial toy. I don't know how educational it will be for my niece, but at least she gets to play with the pretty colors and move the beads around. (After all, who really knows how to use an abacus besides the Chinese?) If this were to be an educational toy, someone would have to sit with the child and actively instruct, I think. At any rate, it's a very nice toy and I don't begrudge the money I spent on it.

Escalier Couleurs Review

It seems that finding children's gifts this year is more about safety than anything else.

Colored dowels in a block of wood. Boring? Quite the contrary. This is great for developing hand eye coordination, matching, counting...

The beauty is in the simplicity.

Fantasia Review

This would be really great except the magnets don't stick to the wood pieces.We also have the Haba Indian Summer and those magnets stick really well.These slide right off so you end up with a pile of wood shapes that don't stick to the magnet board.Also, while the other Haba magnetic arranging games have a thin wood magnetic board, this one is just a piece of cardboard.
UPDATE:I contacted HABA by email and they immediately replied saying they would take care of the problem.They sent me a new set of magnets (which have the 3M logo on the back) and so far they are sticking really well.I am very impressed with their customer service.
