I got the basketball one for ds for Christmas. The only thing I can say is Kohl's has a good return policy, so just save your receipt in case you are not satisfied...

I was grilling the manager yesterday about that! Told her we wouldn't know if it was lame till we opened it. LOL It says for ages 8-18+ so hopefully, it will be fun. He saw a commercial for the basketball one and thought that looked fun.

Tex, the link didn't work for me!

Jmm, I love your idea and will try to make time to do that. I might even try to videotape me reading and get my husband to convert it to a dvd!

Julie, for whatever reason, my dd doesn't have interest in the leapfrog books and we have two types.

Wargod, I bought every on sale Polly Pocket that I could over the summer and saved them for Christmas so maybe she will want to take one with her!

We are not leaving for two more weeks so please keep the ideas coming! We are open to anything...

Have you tried Leapster? It is totally portable and offers a bunch of activities and most of them are educational. And you can buy extra cartridges for more activities.

Also, Dee, don't just click on Texannie's link. copy and paste the whole thing.

How about a journal so she can record her trip, I know she is only 3 but she could draw pictures of the things she sees, and maybe if you have the time you could google some of the things you will see on your trip and she can paste them in with a glue stick as you pass them.

I couldn't find it with just a search actually-but when I went in to the "Spiderman Store" there it was. I am elated that you posted help for this and I bothered to look because my nephew just LOVES Spiderman and video games. We bought him one of those joystick games for his birthday that had old atari games on it and he still plays it every day-it's easier for him I think then regular nintendo or playstation (he is only 5). It was fate

I'm so glad this was helpful to you Silly!! My son is five too and he also has 2 other plug and play games (the pacman one and the spongebob one) and he plays them like crazy. They are so much simpler and cheaper than playstation, etc. And "gentler" too...

The other ones you can find at Walmart, Target, etc. But not Spiderman, it is sooo hard to find.

My dh plays Pacman every day! I kid you not! They are just like the "real" games were (back in the day!) My only complaint is they are battery only (no adapter) but the batteries last a decent amount of time... Just make sure you turn the box off when you are done playing.

amazon.com has consumer reviews on many toys and everything else. they are more on the mark than consumer reports because they are written by different people. Sometimes it is helpful to have different opinions, some by kids, some by adults. There are other places on the www that have consumer reviews/opinons as well.

Mine is all freaked out because he CAN'T get to sleep. Truth be told, he's overtired from a late night last night -- but he still believes and is now worrying himself sick that because he's awake, Santa won't stop! Think it's about time for some major cuddle action. :-)

Finally got mine in bed - she left carrots for the reindeer, complete with a note. This year she gave Santa a poll - she wants to know which cookie Santa likes better! (santa tends to leave a note... or a sign he's been here!)
