Little Tikes EasyAdjust Play Table Review

LOVE this table. I wanted to buy a play table/art table in one and this is it. It couldn't be easier to put together (say 15 seconds) and it's bright and cheery and very very sturdy. It has 4 storage bins (2 orange 2 red) and the legs of the table are purple. The top board (which is removable and SO easy to clean) is green. Underneath the board is some more storage. The base of the table is grey. My son sits on top of the table with the board on it and it is very stable - it's a thick board. One side of the table has a lip, the other doesn't (for doing artwork very nice). It does NOT come with chairs. Here's a tip: Call Little Tikes directly to get the chairs IF you do not need 4 (they sell them in sets of 4)they don't advertise this but they will sell you one, two whatever you need. Plus if you buy the four pack it comes with one red, 2 yellow and a blue (what???? they don't match the table and why not 2 of one color 2 of another). Anyway, I called them and bought 2 red and my son LOVES "his chairs" because they are the perfect size for the table and well, they're his! My only regret about this table is that it's just a few inches shy of being able to fit the thomas train tracks. Step2 makes a table that does fit the trains also but that table is not as sturdy and not as nice AND it has built in tracks which doesn't work for us. So, we will also buy a train table but that's fine because when I bought this I wasn't thinking about the trains because my son wasn't interested in them then. You CAN set the trains up to work with this table but my son does alot of arts and crafts we would have to take the trains down and put them back up and down - too much work, I'm exhausted thinking about it. Either way, I would buy this table again - it's fantastic. AND, if you do have a little artist - get the messy mat to put under the table - it's so convenient.
P.S. Here are the dimension of the ACTUAL TABLE NOT the box dimendions as they state above:
Product Size 51.0"L x 28.0"W x 19.0"H / 29.00 lbs. 8.00 ounces (Hope this is helpful!)

LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Invention 2.0 Review

Lego Mindstorms is a phenomenal toy. Your kids -- and probably you! -- will learn programming, logic, math, etc., while have hours and hours of fun. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with this product!
FOR YOUNG USERS This product will immediately engage young users in building and programming the layouts that come with the kit. This alone makes it worth twice the cost. The programming environment is easy, yet the possibilities it offers will draw your kids into thinking and problem-solving. Learning and having fun at the same time: What a great idea!
FOR ADULTS Lego robots are used in graduate courses at MIT and Indiana University, among other schools. The programming environment is robust enough that it can support exercises in artificial intelligence. Check the NET: there are people out there posting advanced code for the Lego OS, writing new operating systems for the Mindstorms platform, and posting instructions for their own robotic creations. It is fun and educational for adults, too!
PURCHASING RECOMMENDATION The Robotics Invention System is the best entry point to Mindstorms, in my opinion. The programming options are much greater because of the ability to program on a PC with this kit. The lower-priced Mindstorms kits, such as the Robotics Discovery set do not allow programming from the PC. The programs are limited to what is included in the on-board processing module. That means the Robotics Discovery robots cannot do nearly as much as you can program the Robotics Invention System robots to do.
