Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It's a great calendar for a child and big numbers and graphics, my only gripe is the "Today, tomorrow and Yesterday" section seems unnecessary and confusing."
"On top of this the few events you do have that aren't represented on the cards (Grandma & Grandpa coming to visit!). Then only real flaw I've ran into are the odd months that extend over 6 weeks can't properly be placed in the provided spaces, but I simply put the extra dates up top."
"For normal school children I could see this being very nice and easy set to use though so I only docked it 1 start because I think a design change could really help make this thing last longer."
"I typically ask him which number is red.. and then tell him what day it is."
"She plays with it once in a while, and slowly you can see her getting the idea of what day is today, and what after school class she has today/tomorrow and what she needs to bring to school, like dance shoes, etc. Also provided some blank cards so you can put whatever you want on it."
"This is a very large calendar, perfect for little hands to help change every day."
"We bought this for my daughter as she loves doing calendar at Therapy."
"But I’m giving only 2 stars due to the fact that the slots where the numbers go were actually torn."

"I only wish they came with more pockets since my classes have about 35 students each, but as they are, they work very well!"
"Having students use the same mouse helps me in a few ways: students take ownership of the way they care for their mouse, I can see who put their mouse away and who didn't, and germs."
"This is the "cell phone valet" in our classroom."
"I use this for scientific calculators since each student has a class number for each period, and this has worked PERFECTLY!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I tested it with my rfid chip security doors at work and when my card is in the sleeve the door doesn't open and my card is completely protected."
"These pouches will offer the same protection, at lower price, and will fit right into the wallet / purse / murse you carry today. As a technologist, and frequent traveler, one of the most embarrassing things that could happen would be to fall prey to RFID credit card or passport "snarfing". While I have already invested in an RFID blocking wallet, and even an RFID-blocking passport cover, those are expensive, and the options are limited. It did my own tests using several passport and credit card RFID scanning apps for Android, and both the money belt and the pouches were 100% effective in blocking signals -- even from my transit passes. I did receive a discount in order to test this product, but my opinions are honest, unbiased, and in no way incentivised."
"With the key card in the product, the door did nothing when I touched the card to the access point."
"Nice and thin fit in my wallet perfectly."
"I like these RFID blocking sleeves."
"In the same week I had both my credit card and debit card compromised."
"Everything was as expected and they really do block RFID."
"I had a debit card stolen recently while it was 100% always in my possession, so urgently needed a solution."

"Here is what the 72 count set of colors looks like... I only wish that I would have bought one of the larger count sets since I am always looking for additional colors. If you are having challenges with sharpening them there is a you tube video about it and how you should always turn the pencil, not the sharpener, in the same continuous direction. There were even explanations on how many you should put into an electric sharpener and then manually sharpen one because they overheat and break the leads!"
"* If you're not a professional artist but you want a set of amazing, great quality colored pencils for school, arts and crafts, coloring books, or any other project, I recommend purchasing a smaller set. * If you purchase the 48 or 60 color set and you want a color not in the set, Prismacolor Premier Soft Core Colored Pencils are also sold individually, so you can buy any additional colors you need."
"Having recently purchased a large set for my older daughter on Amazon, I can say with 100% confidence that this brand has declined STEEPLY in quality. Her new set came with SERIOUSLY off-centered leads, wooden shafts that are either cracked or completely different colors from one half to the other, and most concerning, the cores in many of the pencils seems to be waxier and clumps/flakes no matter what we do. I believe that many of the higher reviews for this product are from before the company began cutting corners...a search online will quickly reveal that cracked wood, broken leads, off-centered cores, and other issues have been present for several years now."
