Learning Resources Calendar and Weather Pocket Chart User Review
This seems to have pretty much everything we needed to learn / teach about the calendar, months of the year, days of the week, yesterday, today, tomorrow, weather… it’s got a lot. I like the fact it has blank cards so we can add special days of our own like grandparents day, friendship day, arbor day. We don’t actually celebrate these but who knows, maybe we will at some point. 
I like that the numbers for days are double-sided with red and black. I put the days that have already passed on black and the current day as well as those coming up in red so they can get a better visual.
Some things I found were that since there are a lot (!) of cards to be stored when they’re not in use the pockets at the bottom aren’t really big enough to hold everything inside. My solution was to turn most of the longer cards on their sides and just left them vertical. No biggie for me but that might bother someone who has to have everything out of sight if it’s not being utilized. Another thing I did was to separate the school cards (100th day, 1st day, “no school” days,) the holidays, & the cards for other things like birthdays (cakes or balloons & hats) and flags for federal holidays. I put them into 3 separate sandwich bags so they wouldn’t get mixed up together and then just put them in the yellow bags at the bottom of the calendar.
One thing I noticed was I had to throw out several year cards. I got rid of 2006, 2007, 2008, & 2009 with one swift toss into the recycling bin. Time sure flies sometimes. Maybe it would have been better to have 4 slots available to insert for the year instead of just one card, but I wasn’t on the team for product development. There are still 4 or 5 years left to go before they run out too. But honestly my only real gripe about this product is that it doesn’t include any hardware to hang it up. I managed with screws through the holes at the top though.
The material seems very durable and should stand up to my 4 quite well. Overall this is a great investment (and fun too.)

I purchased this upon one of my daughter’s recommendation that it was something her just seven year old daughter would like as she and her five year old sister LOVE to “play school” and the oldest one is the “teacher”. It may be that she just may be a teacher one day because of this gift! So glad that I made the purchase. Watching her on Christmas morning playing “school” made me happy that I chose to purchase it. Thank you!

Learning Resources Big Time 12-Hour Student Clock User Review
I got this because one of my children was having a hard time with learning to tell time on an analog clock. I really like it that the minute and hour hands are color-coded to the corresponding areas on the clock face. The hour hand is red and so are all the big numbers. The minute hand is blue and there is a blue ring around the hour numbers that show the minutes. That’s great since one of the problems was remembering which hand went with hours or minutes.
The clock itself is smaller than I expected but it does state correctly in the description it is 5″. I guess I let the picture look bigger than it was. This clock can take a lot of abuse and still work fine too. My toddler loves playing with this.

Learning Resources Fruit & Vegetable Play Food Basket, Set of 13 User Review
Most of the fruit and veggies look real. 2 yr old loves them. He loves loading and unloading them into the basket. Bought to go with our kitchen and shopping cart. He now knows the names and colors of all the fruits and veggies. I like this set much better than the small plastic sets you can buy. They have been stepped on and driven over with ride on toys and they all are still in great shape. The basket is really cute.
