Bought 2 sets of these as well as the farm and house sets from Amazon.com absolutely adorable except for the little arms on the people possible injury if small child falls I removed the blocks with the arms and use the other blocks instead for their bodies!These blocks really do seem magic! You can stack them either using the red magnetic dots or without the magnetic component using the yellow sections which which click into each other. I purchased this set on amazon for around ten dollars and it was well worth it. Now I want to buy the full set! The colors are very bright and my baby finds them irrestible.

Phonics Radio
My son got this for Christmas! He was 15 months old at the time. He just loves it. Plays with it every day. He loves the music. He likes to dance to it and push the buttons. HE is learning his ABC's.. My older son gets use of it too. He is 4. He is learning the sounds of the letters.. So all around a GREAT toy! One great feature is that it has volume control. Always a must!I just bought this toy for my 19 month old last week and he won't put it down!!! Every letter has a song and he just loves to press the buttons and dance. It also has the ABC song which he's learning to sing. What I love the most is that it holds his attention for a long period of time. This toy was a great buy!!!Bought this for my 2 year old for the car to keep her busy.It does the job and also helps her to learn the ABC"S.She has droped it and carried it around.We even took it a public place,it is a little loud and no volume button.Read Best Reviews of Phonics Radio Here
We bought this for our son when he was 10 months old. We have had it for just over a month now. He is, of course, a little young for this toy. However, he loves the songs it plays for each letter and will "dance" and shake his head to the music. He has figured out how to turn the pages of the book, which makes a very cute rustling noise when he does it. The buttons light up, which attract his attention, but he only pushes them on accicdent. He is still too young for the game function. What I love about this, and it is why we bought it in the first place, is that it teaches phonics in addition to the letter. Each letter has a corresponding song which is sung when the button for that letter is pushed. The say the name of the letter, then use the letter is several words to demonstrate how that letter can sound. The songs are short and catchy, some are in female voices, others in male voices. Like all Leap Frog toys, there is a volume control and on/off switch.I am sure that my son will get more and more use out of this toy as he grows. He already enjoys to play with it, and will sit for 5 minutes or so. For a one year old, I think that is great!I admit the I am hesitant to say good things about toys with batteries or toys that have kids push buttons to, "learn," but my 2 1/2 year old daughter does love this toy and seems eager to learn from it. She got it a year ago and it was a little over her head until she was about two years old. I think it will continue to keep her interest for at least another six months.

Ledges Blocks (36 Pieces)
HABA Wooden Blocks are a favourite in our home. They are a lovely quality, precision cut for building perfect structures. An heirloom quality that will outlast my children's rough pay and live to see grandchildren and great grandchildren. In all honesty every once and a while you will come across a piece that may have a little bit of a rough edge. When this happens we use a 400 grit sand paper and a few quick swipes ensures that the edge is satin smooth. Wooden blocks are a wonderful toy for open ended creative play and I highly recommend the HABA brand.We have several sets of HABA blocks that these were purchased to go along with:
Basic Building Blocks Extra-Large Starter Set
Kaleidoscopic Blocks
Long Rectangular Blocks

Ganz Baby Plush Blue Puppy
We purchased this plush blue puppy as a potential replacement for the one our 18 month old son already has. He has named it "Fluff" and it goes everywhere with him. We hear him in the mornings over the monitor talking to "Fluff". It has held up very well to being dragged, chewed on, wrestled, etc. We plan on retiring the original soon and secretly replacing it with the one we just bought. That way we can put the original up and store it for him as a momento of his first favorite toy.We were pleasantly surprised that the new puppy came a couple of days before we expected it to arrive and in perfect shape.

Sevi Wooden Drum
We bought this drum for our little boy who is obsessed with Imagination Movers, and it was perfect for a few days...then the drum tore. I really don't blame the company for this fault. It was more an issue of our son banging way too hard on the drum. However, the drum has two sides, so he has simply turned it over and it's working just fine for him. He's happy so ultimately so are we.I was very pleased when I received this product very well made, high quality. I'm a little more comfortable with the price I paid after seeing it!I thought I wrote a review before. Maybe they erased it! This drum showed up fully wrapped and boxed but the metal was rusty and one of the screw caps was off making it sharp. I returned the drum and will buy another brand.

Gund Baby Happi Baby Touch 'N Discover Activity Toy, Puppy
When I ordered this dog for our daughter I expected a soft semi floppy stuffed animal to cuddle and play with. He is really really stiff. I'm not sure if it will just take some breaking in to make him more of cuddle material or if he will just be in the toy box. Other than that there are no flaws with him and the fabric is soft, he just isnt flimsy enough for her to cuddle.

Camden Rose Cherry Bowl and Baby Spoon Set
I've had this game for several months. It's a fun simple concept. Sometimes the marbles do go flying though if you hit them hard, and if you had a couple of kids playing they'd probably lose some marbles. I tried to get my 3 year old niece to give it a go, and she loved the game, but only because she loved moving the marbles around to the various holes and decorating the game!

Lamaze High-Contrast Pull and Play Puppy
Well, I was looking for the Inchworm toy and couldn't find it, so I ended up with the puppy. Well, obviously not me. I remember the inchworm toy of the same style, and I had one for each of my children when they were infants. I would put it on their chest, pull the string, and they would erupt in giggles. When my best friends daughter was born, I immediately began looking for my inch worm. But alas... it wasnt to be. But I did find the puppy. And true to form, their daughter loves it, and watching her giggle in delight, gets the whole room laughing. A wonderful toy. One that memories are made of.My baby immediately went for the dog's nose and was entertained for some time. Great to have for newborns/infants! Still hasn't really figured out how to pull it, but i like that feature.

Gund Scamper Ivory 13" Bear Plush
I purchased this little cutie because in my family there is a tradition that I am the first to give a new baby it's first stuffed bear, I will be ordering one of it's friends shortly to present to my next great-grandchild that is due later this year.If the bear I received is 13", then I need a new ruler. This guy is closer to 10". And, his arms & legs aren't as floppy as the picture would lead you to believe. In fact, he's stiff little fella. That said, I'm keeping him, because he is very cute and is just the right size for the Philbin bear already purchased. (Though I still feel like I was gypped.)

Infantino Movers & Shakers Baby Elephant
My 5 month old daughter loves this toy but I bought it at Walmart for $8.50 and if you look on their website and type in the name of the toy you will see that is sells for only $8.50 with free in store pickup! I don't think this toy is worth paying $25 for!The vibrating feature worked once and then quit entirely. I checked if it was the batter but it wasn't. :(Buy Infantino Movers & Shakers Baby Elephant Now
This is a great toy. My 4 months old loves it. We got it as a Christmas present and he just loves to have it on his belly and hug it.My son has some gas during the evening and since this toys vibes it helps to calm him down when it is on his tummy. Also the music is very cute and fun.
GREAT present!

Haba Vroom Vroom Wrist & Ankle Rattle
It fits his wrist and will continue to fit for years to come. I also purchased the Lamaze beeswhich are very cute too, but in comparison, they are tiny compared to the other 2 Sassy brand wrist rattles i have purchased in the past. Also, the blue & white sign crinkles. A great purchaseyou won't be sorry!The rattle doesn't make too much noise it sounds like the "noise making beads" inside have very limited room to "shake" in there. The wrist band is a little big for my baby but it makes it nice so they can use it longer.

Little Tikes Roll 'n Pop Vac
I read all the reviews here about how hard it was to push, and took a chance on it anyway because my 14-month-old loves vacuums and he is pretty good at pushing them. This toy is so hard to push it's basically impossible on carpet. The fix would be simple--the handle just needs to tilt downward. The way the toy is built it is exactly like trying to push a vacuum that still has the handle locked in the upright position. You HAVE to tilt it down in order to push it, and since the handle won't tilt you have to rotate the whole toy. This means the front-bottom part of the vacuum tilts upward. I wouldn't mind this except the way there is plastic molding behind the wheels means that when you tilt the whole thing the wheels no longer touch the floor, and you are pushing it (or trying to push it) on the back, flat, plastic edge. No popping sounds. And tough to push. My son loves the way the toy looks. But it seriously needs to be redesigned. It doesn't work. I will be returning mine and I hardly ever do that.I bought this for my 1 1/2 year old because it was the only one I found that looked like the real thing. The only thing that makes this Vac a not so good buy is the fact that the handle doesn't move! It snaps into the bottom and then is never able to move. Trying to push it on an angle is difficult even for me!Buy Little Tikes Roll 'n Pop Vac Now
The handle doesn't lean back so when you try and push it forward it will not roll. There are no front wheels either so it sticks in the carpet.Read Best Reviews of Little Tikes Roll 'n Pop Vac Here
Our 2-year old grandson just love this. He enjoys helping "mommy" clean when she is cleanning as well. A little hard to push on the carpet, but he quicky adapted.Want Little Tikes Roll 'n Pop Vac Discount?
Since it doesn't hing every time they go to push it forward it catches on the carpet and will not move.Hard for little ones to use.

The image shown does not show the glittery look this (Sparkly) penguin has.

I like this small penguin. Just wanted to confirm the presence of metallic fur in the white and black parts. It's very cute though.Read Best Reviews of Ty Beanie Babies 2.0 Chill Black Penguin (Sparkly) Here
My little girl (4 years old) lost her penguin snugglie, I searched far & wide then I searched the internet and we chose this one. It is a typical beanie baby size. The fur is also typical beanie baby EXCEPT that if you get the sparkly one it has little silver sparkly furs as well. The silver does not effect the softness, but being typical beanie baby fur it is not SUPER soft to begin with.Want Ty Beanie Babies 2.0 Chill Black Penguin (Sparkly) Discount?

IcyBite Hand Teether, Colors May Vary
My baby does not like it at all, we ended up not giving to her again, too hard to baby's gum.My 7 month old shows very little interest. He plays with it for only a short while. Not super impressed but for the price I can't complain.Buy IcyBite Hand Teether, Colors May Vary Now
Very affordable.Free 2 day shipping w/ amazon prime.
my teething baby likes to nibble on this.
but its kinda heavy.
when it drops, its makes a loud thunk.
the hole in the middle makes it easy to attach links to it so it wont fall on the floor.
we like to put this in the fridge.
its just a standard ole teether. no bells & whistles.

Sure, this is as what it advertised. My 5 moths baby also love it. This is very handy and useful while teethingGot this for my 4 month old. Good to soothe his gums but he cannot really hold onto it. He likes the textures on the knobs. Gets cold but does not stay cold for long.Monday, August 26, 2013
Buzz T-Shirt - Heather Grey (Size 2T)
I purchased this t-shirt for my nephew, and it is adorable. I love that it's 100% cotton, and there aren't any scratchy tags on the inside of the neckline. Very cute, and good quality fabric.I got this t-shirt for my son because we always tell him he buzzes around like a litte bee. He loves it and it's held up well after a couple of washes.

Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Racin' Ramps Firehouse
This toy is adorable. The little dog barks, the siren sounds, and lights flash. Bought it for my nephew's baby, but my puppy liked it so much, I ordered another. He likes the noise and lights. If you have a baby who is sensitive to loud noises, you might want to pass on this it is on the loud side.Not as nice as I thought it would be. Truck gets stuck inside on ramps. I do like that other Lil' Zoomers cars work with it.Buy Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Racin' Ramps Firehouse Now

I got this for a friend's 1 year old and he loves it! It is a little smaller than I thought it would be, but it is perfect for a child that age. He can carry it with him so no real complaints, (it is for a child after all, not me! lol) The toy seems well built and love the ramp and car feature. All the details are great also. I would definitely recommend this for a child 1-3 years.Want Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Racin' Ramps Firehouse Discount?
This is a cute toy but nothing special. Almost every toy I bought my grandson makes noises. Why is this necessary?
