Advantages: Encourages imagination.
Disadvantages: Bit fiddly. Expensive.

This is a review of a product I do not actually use, but I was responsible for its purchase and I do trip over it several times a day! This was the must-have toy that my four-year-old had to have for Christmas 2007; well it was the toy I had most difficulty acquiring for Christmas. I eventually sourced the toy and purchased for around the £35.00 mark. The product comes as a large truck, called Mack from the Cars Disney movie. Basically it is a ...
...Route 66, and Dirt Track. Included with Mack there are 3 other character toys from the movie including a miniature Lightning McQueen, the hero of the movie, Mater and Bessie. There is a car launcher to launch McQueen, also there are a few pieces of scenery which can be attached to the playsets. The truck itself is quite long, measures approx. 65cm. It can be used as a large vehicle to play with, it moves and has a horn that can be pressed. The main ... Read review

Well, he looks like Eeyore silly! For those of you who don't know, he is a friend of Winnie The Pooh and he is a blue and purple donkey, with a pink bow in his tail. His tail falls off, so is usually attached with velcro or a ribbon. Eeyore is a very morose animal, ...
...The toy is about 11" high and looks like the classic Disney Eeyore. The ears move up and down when he sings. SO WHAT DOES EEYORE SING? First he says Hello, I don't suppose you wanna sing a song with me. The he sings one of two songs: Do your ears hang low, do they wobble too and fro? OR If your happy and you know it (clap your ears) Then he says its time for his ears to take a nap. Press his foot again and he will sing the other song. His ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, unfathomable, entertaining
Disadvantages: if you give it a little leeway you will be impressed by its answers

I saw the adverts for 20Q on sky television, and didn't really get what the advertising was about, apart from it appeared from the trailor to be advertising a gimmic which was supposed to be able to read the minds of random pedestrians, and after that I didn't think any more of it. After all it was probably a joke, right? I didn't think any more of it until I saw it in toys r us when I was looking for a gift to give my neice (13) and really didn't ...
...press a few buttons through the packaging to test the 20 Q, and I was really impressed, it did guess the word I was thinking within 20 questions. I guess it works by process of elimination .. it asks whether something is animal, vegetable or mineral and kind of narrows down the thing you are most likely to be thinking of by quite a thoughtful interrogation process, where you must choose from the following responses "Unknown","No","Yes", "Sometimes". ...
