A wonderful purple dinosaur..........

Advantages: A good cuddly toy...................
Disadvantages: none.............

...Barney is a purple and yellow spotted dinosaur. He is very famoius in America and you can see him in lots of shows there. My son loved barney from when he was a little child. He has alot of the Barney videos including Shapes and Colours, he wants the new 2000 one. They teach your children about maths, english,shapes,colours,numbers,alphabet. Barney does alot of singing and dancing on these videos. Baby bop and BJ are also on the videos dancing with him and the children in the videos. My son also met him recently at Alton Towers and was in awe of seeing him. He was totally lost for words and didn't know what to say. In the end he just shook Barney's hand and had a cuddle. There is a bouncy area aswell to play in,until they can see the show. My son was singing and dancing as he recognised the songs from his video's. He now wants...

Review of Barney the dinosaur

A dinosaur gliding through the sky

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: does not last long

...I took the grandkids to Tring natural history museum recently its very, very near my house we tend to visit once or twice a year maybe . Of course Nana was lured into the shop by the grandchildren looked around for something cheap to buy , isn?t it strange how children always want the most expensive items in the shop. +Price availability After some discussion it was agreed we would buy this Dinosaur glider for my grandson it cost under 50p. I expect that you buy these gliders off line in novelty shops or like I did in the museum . I know you can buy them on line for 35p from http://www.tobar that?s in a pack of 48 though. They are 25p each from http://www.shop.shoppingwithdinosaurs.co.uk also available at http://store.dinosaurcorporation.com for $0.39 on sale usual price $0.79 . There are 4 different colours and designs...

Review of Parteaz Dinosaur Glider

Disney's Dinosaur

Advantages: Realistic, brings the dinosaurs to life, brilliant effects
Disadvantages: None

...Disney's Dinosaur Disney's cinematical genius has come to life once again, this time in the form of dinosaurs. A magical children's film that kids will love to watch time and time again. The film sees Aladar (an iguanodon) go from an endangered egg to a cute little baby brought up by lemurs on a remote island away from other dinosaurs. There he grows up and becomes friend and protector to the lemur family. Until one day a strange thing comes upon their safe island destroying everything in its path that they have ever known. Aladar takes the lemurs to safety where they join a herd of other dinosaurs travelling to a safe breeding ground with plentiful food and water, the other dinosaurs having suffered the same fate as themselves. I won't describe anymore of the story line as it may spoil the film for those who have not yet...

Zoo Fun with Barney

Advantages: Big Dinosaur meets zoo animals - what can I say
Disadvantages: having to watch it over and over again

...I'm sure all of you will have heard of Barney at some stage but if you aren't sure what this big purple dinosaur is about I'll explain. He is brought to life by children's imaginations and is joined by them on their adventures along with 2 younger dinosaurs called Baby Bop and BJ. Barney has been around as long as I can remember and is a great teaching aid in a variety of areas including counting, abc's, and music as well as introducing morals and manners. He can be a bit overbearing for parents but my kids have always liked Barney and this is especially good for pre-school children. In this video Barney goes outside into the real world which is a bit more unusual as previous videos have involved studio settings. He takes BJ and Baby Bop to the zoo and they all have plenty of fun on their day out. As well as being educational in...

Review of Barney - Let's Go To The Zoo (DVD)

Dinosaur Dung

Advantages: Tommy Tallarico had to start somewhere
Disadvantages: Extremely limited; just a bad idea - colouring dinosaurs, hello?

...It's a surprise FarSight Technologies - now FarSight Studios - are not extinct, what with early output such as David Crane's Amazing Tennis, Action 52 and Color A Dinosaur. GRAPHICS: The sixteen dinosaurs are drawn in a cartoon style as you would expect to see them in a colouring book. Though there is mixing and flashing colours, there are only eight palettes and ten colours to pick from. CONTROLS: Color A Dinosaur doesn't really qualify as a game, but it's no graphics painting program - players cycle through dinosaur parts for which to watch a lick of paint being applied slowly. And the patterns of paint are not put in place properly. AUDIO: The music (or two tunes) for this dinosaur game is composed by Tommy Tallarico whom has moved onto bigger and better things. FIN: Color A Dinosaur is aimed at those aged 3...

Review of That's Not My Dinosaur... - Usborne

A different kind of dinosaur!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Baby B has plenty of Taggie toys and this is one of the first ones we bought her. Mrs B and I are always on the look out for yet more presents to spoil our girl with and when we saw this dino we couldn't resist him. Taggies are quite a new 'invention' they come in all different guises from comfort blankets to squeaky toys, rattles and even baby grows now as well as pillows! They were designed due to the fact that babies are always so very interested in the tags on their toys. Every time we give Baby B a new toy she is more interested in the label than the actual toy itself and so that's why Taggies are so good- the labels are a part of the toy! Each taggie toy has several loops of ribbon incorporated into the design of the toy and so it doesn't matter if your baby is more interested in these labels! The Taggie Dinosaur is pale...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

A Real Dinosaur

Advantages: Realistic movement, Cute, Over 40 different sensors & Advanced technology
Disadvantages: None

...The Pleo Robotic Dinosaur is a sophisticated as real as it gets technology. It's nothing like other robots you have seen. I first saw this on TV, on the Gadget Show and was amazed and fascinated by the technology put into this. Pleo is a Camarasaurus type dinosaur and every one of these is individual as there microchips are programmed to learn different things. When you get Pleo it is born which lasts around 5 minutes and acts like a new born. Gently opens its eyes, slow curious movements and slightly scared of the new environment it is in. To make it more comfortable you gently touch its chin and stroke it and it will respond by sniffing your finger and you will hear it make soft baby dinosaur sounds. Gradually it will develop responses to you and get to know who you are. Pleo has over 40 different sensors and responds to...

Review of Vivid Imaginations Pleo the Robot Dinosaur

The Singing Purple Dinosaur From Hell

Advantages: erm, kids like it ...
Disadvantages: too AMERICAN, sickly sweet, vomit-inducing attacks of morality, singing dinosaurs, annoying kids, etc. etc.

...Now how can I fairly review something I vehemently HATE ?? Oh well, I will try my best. Barney and Friends is an American childrens' television programme. There, that's one factual sentence with no trace of malice. Phew ! It CAN be done. My kids have all loved Barney, although thankfully my ten year old has grown out of it. Kids seem to love the all-singing all-dancing all-American brats - oops, adorable children - that star in this show, but they just make me feel ill. Most of them look like eight year old Britneys - all smiles and sickly sweetness. As if one purple and green dinosaur accompanied by umpteen annoying little kids weren't a bad enough combination, there is more ! Barney has friends (Don't ask me why, perhaps he's generous with his wages !) - a female dinosaur and a smaller male called Baby Bop and BJ. If you watch...
