Preschool 
Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set
(VTech) Our testers ages 3 and
5 just love this since it was stuck to their fridge. They loved
pressing the buttons to hear the sounds each letter makes and the fact
that music note button plays the Alphabet Song! Their mom loves the fact
that it's helping with letter recognition. Our tester things this is
a must-have for any toddler/preschool aged child. Ages 2+, $17.99
Hot Wheels Quick Start Laptop
Everyone (2, 4 & 6) loved this, actually adults too. It's
compact and easy to store, no volume control, though. Our two-year-old
tester loved the piano function and had his Great Uncle singing along.
There are enough games that range in level of difficulty that the two
older boys were entertained. This is a toy that they can grow into.
Big thumbs up. Ages 3 +, $39.99
Teaching
Cash Register (Learning
Resources) This cash register was tested by my daughter. Since
playtime always includes setting up shop and selling her toys, I had to
let her test this. It's a great toy for not only educational
purposes, but pretend play. The cash register teahes coin
identification, addition and subtraction. The coin reader identifies
the included play pieces which feel real. There is a checkout
scanner with sound, a working scale and more! It's a toy that gets used
daily in my house. Ages 3 -12, $44.95. Click

Resources Pretend & Play Doctor Set (Learning
Resources)
Our tester really loves to "operate" on his animals so
this set was a big hit. He loved the stethoscope, pager, and fact
that he had his own cell phone. Our testers only complaint was that
the case was a little flimsy. Ages 3 and up, $24.95 Click

Powertouch Learning System (Fisher-Price $49.99, Ages 3-8)
Our 3-year-old tester just loved! First he could use his finger and
secondly it came with a Sesame Street book. His mother loved the
fact it was easy to start up and her son could work independently.
They are both looking forward to getting more of the books! Power Touch Books
