Garnier Anti Blemish Roll On

Free Sample to try from Toluna. 
It works wonders to get rid of blemishes, I wouldn't usually buy something so small, it's probably expensive but
I think I will start buying this. 
Works great.

Kids are getting shortchanged these days.

Disappointing Purchase for 2nd Grade Niece

I recently bought this educational set for my niece, who just entered the 2nd grade, with high hopes that it would be an engaging and helpful tool for her learning journey. Unfortunately, my experience with this product has been quite disappointing.

Expectations vs. Reality

  • Size of the Books: I expected the books to be larger and more comprehensive. Instead, they felt more like sample books with limited content, rather than substantial educational resources.
  • The functionality of the Pen: The pen was another letdown. I anticipated that it would offer more interactive features. However, it mainly produced a few sounds and noises and responded with different ways of saying "yes" or "no" when answers were correct or incorrect. This minimal interaction wasn't enough to keep my niece engaged.
  • Reading the Questions: One of my biggest hopes was that the pen would read the questions aloud, allowing my niece to try solving the problems independently. Unfortunately, this feature was missing, which diminished the product's usefulness for early readers.

Value for Money

Given the price I paid on Amazon, I expected much more in terms of content and interactive capabilities. The product felt more like a teaser rather than a full-fledged educational tool, making it hard to justify the cost.

Final Thoughts

I really wanted this set to be a valuable learning aid for my niece. With some improvements, particularly in the content of the books and the interactive features of the pen, it could be a much better product. Until then, I can't recommend it, especially at its current price point.




                                 I also bought this Magic School Bus for my niece Leappad Ultra. This was a slightly better buy but not by much you can learn pretty well from this but you also can finish the whole thing in less than 45 min which is disappointing and gets old really fast.
