Tolo Toys Pop-Up Dinosaurs

My son is 1 YO and he has so much fun with this toy right now he watches them pop-up (with my help) and he tries to push them back down. The buttons are easy to manipulate I don't think it will be long before he is pushing or turning the knobs himself. And BEST of all Tolo products are all Bispenol-A and phthalate FREE, which are both proven hormone disrupters. This is an excellant company and a great toy I will definitely be purchasing from them again.

I am an early childhood worker and find that children enjoy this toy from toddler hood into the preschool years. It's a little tricky for the very young toddler to manipulate by themselves, but provides a great opportunity for 1:1 play. Once they have mastered the different way to pop up each dinosaur, the appeal seems to last for a long time. Sturdy and long lasting.

My twins love this toy. They can use it on their own and it only makes small noises. The only down side is one seems to get his finger in the way when he pushes the tops down. I love the quality of tolo toys.

My 18 month old received this as a gift for his 1st birthday. I agree that the buttons are too hard to push, they work great if he steps on them. It is indestractable, believe me he has thrown it, sat on it and stepped on it. Problem is, he could care less. We tried playing with him, naming the colors and shapes. One shot through the line-up and he was off looking for something else to do. In my opinion, it's just not interesting enough.

Gund Crawl with Me Turtle Animated Musical 11.5" Plush

My daughter is not quite crawling yet, but she likes the Crawl with me Turtle. She dances to the music and gets upset when it stops.

I personally find the voice kind of annoying; the first thing my husband asked when he saw it was if there was a way to turn the voice off. (There is not.) Also, the turtle crawls VERY SLOWLY. It's definitely something your baby will not have trouble catching once they get moving!

I love the brand Gund. My daughter has a few Gund stuffed animals and I was excited to add this turtle to the collection. Turtles are also my moms favorite animal, so she was super excited too. I have never owned a Gund "animated plush".

First impression: When the toy arrived, the packaging threw me off a little. It came wrapped in a plastic bag and seemingly thrown in box. Um. Okay. No big deal, and may have been just a Vine thing, but it definitely was not "gift worthy" if you're planning on sending it as a gift.

The next thing I noticed was how study the turtle felt cool, that means it can handle my 15 month old. However, the four legs are thinly covered pieces of metal (not a very squishy toy). The rest looked exactly like the picture with accurate colors.

Crawling: This thing moves SLOW or not at all. Sometimes it just makes the motion. My daughter does not mind, and she still thought it was great. She was thoroughly entertained for at least 10 minutes* the first time we used it. My two cats also seemed to think it was pretty interesting as a bonus.

Sounds: The melody is fine, the words of encouragement become a little annoying. ("Crawl with me baby! Touch my shell! Now you got it baby!" etc) The sound is a cute (or creepy) happy little kid voice. I will mimic others and say that if I had to change one thing, I'd really really like an on/off switch for the sounds, because without it being "on" its just a semi-stuffed animal. It is a shame that it can't crawl and be silent. My daughter though does like the voice, and seems to enjoy touching the shell (activating the voice) of the turtle when she walks by.

Overall, I would recommend this toy. It is cute and fun, my daughter really loves it, my mom (nana) adores it, and for what it is a fun interactive toy, I really like it.

(*10 minutes it pretty good in toddler-time)

Buy Gund Crawl with Me Turtle Animated Musical 11.5" Plush Now

My daughter is close to crawling so I liked the idea of a turtle that would crawl with her when she started to crawl. The turtle says phrases such as "Crawl with me", "You're doing great baby" and "Catch me." These phrases are nice encouragement for the baby but for a parent, they start to grow old fast as does the music that plays as the turtle crawls. It only plays ONE song as it crawls, which I find to be monotonous and more song variety would make the turtle more appealing as would more phrases or just a music only option. She gets bored with him after a few minutes.

Another issue I found with the turtle is that he crawls really well on hard floors, but if you have a thicker carpet or put him on a blanket on the floor with the baby, he gets stuck and doesn't move very well. When he does crawl, he moves pretty slowly it would be nice if it had a mechanism to change the crawl speed as baby gets more proficient with crawling.

Overall, the idea was better than the delivery of this product. While my baby likes it fine, I wouldn't purchase it for the asked price though given all the downsides.

The only downside to this toy is how hard it is! It looks totally snugglable and it really is adorable in action, but oof, if a kid tries to cuddle it? There is some serious ouch potential. It's also quite heavy. But hey, that heaviness equals sturdiness, and it's still going strong!

Want Gund Crawl with Me Turtle Animated Musical 11.5" Plush Discount?

The new Gund "Crawl with Me Turtle" toy is so awesomely cute I dare anybody to keep from smiling while watching this little fella strut his stuff. This slow-moving animated plush turtle walks and talks and plays music and everybody in the house baby, brother and sister, mom and dad, grandma and grandpa...even the pets will find this toy easy to love. No, it's not educational (unless encouraging an infant to crawl is "teaching"), but that's not the point. The "Crawl with Me Turtle" is just one of those toys that you get for the little one because maybe, someday, they'll have a faint memory of Mr. Turtle lumbering across the floor in front of them while they were giggling their Snuggie off.

Kids Native American Indian Brave Costume

My Grandson wanted to dress up for Halloween as a Native American. I had gone to his school and taught the 5th grade classes about the Traditions and taught them some songs and dances, so he wanted to show his friends his Native side. He was so excited when he saw the outfit, it was priceless!

Original Activity Walker - Supports Those First Steps

My 18 month old likes to put a few of his favorite toys in this cart and push it around or outside to the patio area. It's a little bit smaller than what I thought it'd be, but it's actually pretty perfect and it doesn't take up a whole ton of space. Great toy and seems made well. I recommend it!

Dr. Seuss Cat In The Hat Stacker

I love this stacker, my daughter however is just kind of getting into it. She is 10 months and just pulls them off, even if we try to play with it together. The product is very well made and super cute. Really soft fabrics and each one has a little bit of a different texture.

I love that this ring stacker is plush and soft instead of the usual hard plastic. The colors are very vibrant!

This was a Christmas present for my son (he was about 1 yrs old when recevied) and he still plays with it at 18 mths. Wish he had this toy at about 6 mths, he would have liked it then too. I like it because it is soft and I have washed it on gentle/delicate cycle a few times and it is still holding up well (even though it doesn't say machine wash it was fine). He liked to teeth on the soft rings and likes pulling the rings on and off the stacker.

Fun stacking toy, a little pricey but good toy.

My 6 month old loves this toy. The high-contrast colors really catch his eye, and he loves to pull the hat into his mouth. He has started to realize that he can pull the rings off (and that they are great teething toys). He's not yet at the point where he puts rings back on, but I anticipate that he'll have fun with that too. Best of all, when he was just starting to learn to sit, it was a great toy for him to play with. It kept him upright and engaged and encouraged him to reach out his hands instead of balancing on them. I highly recommend this toy starting at around 5-6 months!

Under The Nile Banana Toy

My little Anna Banana sleeps with this banana every night. It's soft and durable, doesn't mind if she chews on it, and has a sweet little face. It also washes well.

~BACKGROUND~

I purchased this as part of a set of 4 fruits for my 5 month old son who has really started teething.

~PROS~

Organic cotton

Soft Egyptian cotton

Feels sturdy and well constructed

Bright color

Good size for infants to grab and hold

Fair Trade Product socially and environmentally sustainable

~CONS~

No so far!

~TIPS~

If you are going to purchase organic/natural products for your child, use non-toxic cleaning products to clean the toys such as Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder, 2.64-Pounds or Seventh Generation Powder Laundry Concentrated, Free and Clear, 112-Ounce (Packaging May Vary).

Washing instructions: Machine wash only. Tumble dry until toy is completely dry. Do not immerse in water and leave out to dry. *Tip: Place a bath towel in the dryer with the toy to dry faster.

~CONCLUSION~

With so many products on the market that have unknown dyes, BPA, toxins, etc. in them it is great to find products such as these that I know are safe for my infant.

Topzy Tumblers Silly Tumblers (boy)

Topzy Tumblers (aka "Weebles" in our household) are a favorite with kids, parents, and grandparents alike. These are a great toy for little hands to pick up and the wobbling, rolling path it takes is fun for crawlers and toddlers. Even the older grandkid (1st grade) likes them, using them as "eggs" for his toy snakes. The original set is several years old and still going strong through the third grandchild. These were a recent addition for the latest baby.

i got these for my 6 month old grandson for christmas. he loves to watch the tumblers go around in the tumblin' fun park, which i also got him for christmas. best toy to grow with your child.

Mary Meyer EarthMates, Fuzz That Wuzz 100% Recycled, Purrzzzz Cat, 14 inches

This cat is simply adorable, high quality, and unique. This would be an excellent gift. And made in the USA!!!!

I purchased this toy for my oldest daughter when she was around six months old (she is now nearly two years old as of this writing). At the time, the fact that it was made of recycled bottles was a minor selling point frosting on my main concerns that the toy be durable and not have any small parts which could be pulled off and choked on. Unlike many plush toys, the eyes on Purrzzz are flat fabric sewn onto the face, a style I prefer as there is absolutely no chance that these could be chewed off and possibly choked on by a small child. Of course, given how much my daughter loves this toy, she's never attempted to chew on any part she will give him plenty of adoring squeezes in her little arms, however.

At a year, plus a few months old, this toy has aged remarkably well. When I first purchased it, this cat was somewhat stiff, however as my little girl has played with and loved him, he has become softer and more cuddly. The wearing of his "coat" is akin to that of an old blanket the type which gets "nubblies" as it is used. However, despite being loved sometimes roughly by an active little girl, none of the stitching has come loose, nor are there any tears in the material. Cleaning is relatively hassle-free as one can spot-clean any immediate stains or, for a deeper clean, put the toy in a pillow case and throw it in the washer on a cold, gentle cycle (just remember: cats don't like water). I recommend air-drying afterwards, or putting the dryer on the lowest setting (keeping the toy protected in the pillow case), if you must.

The practicality of this plush toy in considering the safety of a small child was a huge selling point for me. That coupled with my daughter's love for her "Mr. Cat," as he has been named, leave me no option but to give Purrzzz five stars. When a little girl won't go to bed without her one special plushie, there is no stronger endorsement.

Happy Horse Blanket Pal

First off, I love giraffes so I may be a tad bias. But the fabric is super plush and soft. The giraffe is quite cute. Only problem is the paci holder velcro doesnt seem to stick at all. But i just ran a little needle and thread through it and our paci is permanently attached (although my son wound up not taking pacis, i left it on there, and he plays with it just the same). Also, I'm not sure if this is intentional but there is a small hole in the bottom side of the giraffe head. I stick my finger in and make a finger puppet of sorts... this gets quite a few giggles from my little guy.

I love the colors, size and fabric, but I do have an issue with the "pacifier strap". It is narrow and the itty bitty square of velcro on it does not stick together, so it is useless. I will just have to cut it off since I caught my 6 month old trying to swallow it. A slightly thicker strap with a snap or better velcro would have made this perfect.

Color Changing Ducks, 3 pc

The water has to be hot for them to slowly change color (though the effect is instantaneous if you boil them). You would certainly not want the water any warmer so you do not scald your child. They do, unfortunately, gain mildew on the inside (in case you were wondering why I boiled them). Especially since kids put everything in their mouths, I am not happy he can squirt the water in his mouth from inside the duck. I recommend either planning to replace these often, changing them out completely to let them dry, or just move on to a different bath toy. There are other ducks in the pond, so to speak.

Very cute, seemingly good quality... but I am disappointed at how hot the water must be for the ducks to change color. I am pretty sure my daughter's tub water is as hot as a kid can handle comfortably and the ducks definitely do not change color a bit. I thought they were total lemons until my husband tried putting them in scalding hot water, and they did change colorswhich is of no help to my daughter.

Bunnies by the Bay Bloom's Silly Buddy, Lavender

I have bought quite a few of these for both my grand children. They were requested and loved by baby, mother and anyone taking care of the babies. They make the paci's easier to find in desperate situations and are so nice for baby to feel. These were my granddaughters favorite lovies too. She would have one in her moth with a paci attached and be carrying another one around.

We have bought several of these for my daughter! They are amazing and she may just go to college with them. I will definitely purchase more for my next child.

Mary Meyer Baby Cheery Cheeks Soft Toy

I purchased Cheery Cheeks, Tails the Monkey in the hopes that my 10mth old daughter would use it as a cuddly comforter. She is now 13mths old and it is her best friend and sleeps with her daily. Best purchase I have made. I have bought 2 and I am now purchasing my 3rd as a back up for when the others are dirty & in the wash.

The only negative I have is that the material on the front is a bit thin and is wearing very quickly from regular use. But in saying that my baby girl would crawl everywhere with it. She is now walking so it may not wear as quick.

Overall a very soft, amazingly cute cuddly toy that my daughter adores.

Very quite and soft my friends baby grabs this all the time and cuddles with it to take her nap

Boikido Wooden Push And Play - Rabbit Wagon

We purchased this for our 1 year old daughter. My wife put it together this afternoon, and by the evening, the paint is worn from the wheels rubbing. When I looked closer at the wheels, I noticed that not only is there axial play, but about .250" of runout on the diameter of the wheel (the hole for the mounting hardware is drilled off center).

The bottom of the wagon is made of particle board. I realize that the wagon isn't designed for children to climb in, but my children aren't good at reading disclaimers written in legalese that accompany children's toys. I'd gladly have paid an extra $5 for the same thickness of wood as the sides on the bottom of the wagon.

All in all, I'm not dissatisfied enough to ship the wagon back. I however, would give pause before suggesting the item to someone else. .

I did an extensive search for push and play wagons for my 11 month old daughter. I wanted something which can carry toys, so it can be used later and not just in a learning to walk phase. I was considering the Radio Flyer wagon, but my budget decided to go with the Boikido . No regrets.

The wagon looks small for the first sight, but it is the perfect size for a toddler. I bought it for her 1st birthday, but it arrived 3 weeks earlier and I decided to give it to her, she was already very eager to walk with assistance. In the first hour she played with the maze on the side of the wagon (very cute!) then started to push the car walking on her knees and after 3 hours she figured out how to stand up and started to walk with it with a big smile!!!

She uses it every day for several hours and in two weeks she developed a confident walking.

The wagon is very well made, nicely painted and sturdy. The paint comes off where the wheels touch the wagon due to the friction, but it's typical with every wooden toy, so if it bothers you buy plastic.

It does not tip off when she stands up and brakes if she pulls back the handle.

We are very happy with the purchase and would recommend to buy it!

Buy Boikido Wooden Push And Play - Rabbit Wagon Now

I have spent hundreds if not over a $1000.00 on toys for my 11 month old daughter only to find that she has had absolutely zero interest in them. I accidentally came across a listing for push toys, did some research and came across a review similar to my dilemma. The woman who wrote the review said that this push toy is the only toy her daughter is interested in. That being said I had to give it a go, and to my amazement as well as my husbands she took to it immediately and began doing laps around the house. This toy has improved her confidence and encourages her to walk. It is amazing!!!! When she isn't walking she is playing with the little mazes on the sides. My daughter does not walk on her own but with the push toy she is a whiz! It is so cool! The only reason I did not give this wonderful toy 5 stars was because we had an issue with one of the wheels, which we fixed with a drill, our wheels don't have the little pink circles as pictured and when taken outside and used on cement the paint does chip off the wheels. So, one mechanical issue, one cosmetic issue and one durability issue. Other than that I am impressed and pleased.

Read Best Reviews of Boikido Wooden Push And Play - Rabbit Wagon Here

I bought this for my daughter when she was 9 months old because she was crawling a lot and standing up by holding on to our couch and other furniture, but couldn't walk on her own yet. I had read other reviews and agree with some of the other points made:

-slightly difficult (but not impossible) to assemble

-bottom of wagon is cheap lightweight material, unlike the rest which is solid wood.

-rubber strip on the wheels good for hardwood floors

-maze on sides are fascinating for her to play with

-I fill it up with toys for her (carefully so I don't damage the bottom) and she loves to sit and play

-perfect height for her to hold on to and walk

-it took her a few tries before she could use it properly as a walker, it fell back on her at first or moved too quickly and she fell, but once she figured it out it gave her freedom to walk and she expressed squeals of joy.

I suspect we will get a lot of use from this wagon walker for many months ahead...maybe years.

My only complaint was that the wooden handle bars arrived warped out of shape and I thought I was going to have to return it, but my husband went ahead and assembled it anyways and it still screwed onto the wagon; so the handles are crooked not parallel to the ground, but my daughter doesn't mind, it still works and she loves it.

Just received this product. Unable to put it together due to some hardware issues (stripped bolts). Tried to contact boikido through their website, and it won't allow you to enter a US-based email (the company is French). My son seems to like the colors and the texture of the wood, so I guess he might just have to play with it and not use it as a wagon.

Addendum 6/22/09: Finally was able to contact Boikido customer service via an email address I found on the website. Once the message got to the right place, they were very responsive and sent me replacement screws right away. I would give the toy 5 stars now.

Olivia Deluxe Costume

The costume is cute and fabric is good quality. But the tights are really big, the shirt is the size I expected and the jumper is really tight on my 2 yr old. I don't think she'll be able to wear it for dress-up after Halloween.

I paid a little extra for the "deluxe" Olivia costume since the basic one looked a little thin and flimsy. I'm pretty disappointed. The shirt is filthy, looks like it got dragged through the floor of a warehouse somewhere, and the tights are shredded like someone let their cat play with them. Also the description of the product says that shoes are included, but they aren't. I guess it's just as well, they'd probably be dirty or ruined as well. I'll definitely think twice before buying another Rubie's product.

7-PC Wood Lacing Toy

The lacing toy is good for keeping our 2-yr.-old son occupied during Mass in church on Sundays. It's hard to find much in the area of religious-themed toys that can be played with quietly in church, so this is very welcome. I was afraid a lacing toy might be more of a "girly" toy (think sewing or embroidering), but I forgot how much my son likes to stick things into other things (keys in keyholes, play screws and nails into pretend wood, etc.). These lacing cards fit that category for him.

PlanToys Pull-Along Caterpillar

I bought this cute caterpillar for my daughter when she was about 13 months old. She loves pulling this little caterpillar all over the place. It has the cutest little wobble and is just so darn stinking cute! It's a good weight because of it's high quality materials. Which is good because it keeps the toy from flipping over when my daughter decides to run and pull it. Smooth round corners with very durable paint. It has a kind of rubber on it's feet/wheels so it can grip/crawl on the smoothest of surfaces. My only slight complaint is that I wish the string was a bit longer. But that is because my daughter is really tall. It would also be nice to see it come in other colors. Those two things though have no impact on me recommending this toy over and over again to any parent. My daughter plays REALLY rough with toys! This little caterpillar still looks new after all my daughter has put it though. Because of it's great quality, I've decided to buy all my daughter's toy foods for her kitchen from this company as well. Great product, you won't be disappointed!

Very sweet little catepillar-I would definitely recommend if you've got a "puller" in your brood. I have realized now, after a few attempts of different kinds of pull toys, that I have two "pushers", so neither of them wanted to pull this little guy behind them. That was a little disappointing because it's never ever been played with and while it's not expensive, it's still not cheap. I can't find the receipt because it got lost amongst the Christmas mayhem, so we'll give this to someone else eventually.

My toddler (16 months) uses Mr. Caterpillar like a little push car. When he tries to pull Mr. Pillar, Pillar tips easily and often ends up being dragged along on his side. Mr. Pillar is not easily righted. However, Mr. Pillar is exceptionally cute, and my son seems to enjoy pushing him around the floor with his other cars. Perhaps when he's a little older, my child will be less enthusiastic with his pulling, and Mr. Pillar will be able to wobble along sedately (and adorably) behind him.

ETA: AT 18 months, my son is rocking this all over the house.

Mary Meyer Print Pizzazz, Cocoa Horse, 12"

Purchased this little guy with high hopes as a gift for my 1yo niece.

It's soft and cute, but it's smaller than expectedthe 12" includes feet that dangle down longer than expected ...

The back "hooves" are filled with beanbag filling, and when held up, they turn around backwards due to the weight which kinda weirded me out a little...

Of course, I give this toy a one star for educational value, becasuse... lets face it... as realism goes, it misses the mark entirely.... Not it's fault at allit's supposed to just be a cute, whimsical little horse.
