Mary Meyer Brainy Baby Fold Out Friend Hanging Toy

Mary Meyer Brainy Baby Fold Out Friend Hanging Toy, ElephantI bought this for my 3 m old daughters carseat bc it would match her zebra theme but it's always un-Velcro ing and falling in her face. She won't even play with it when we r at home. It's not interesting enough. No rattles or enough crinkle. Pretty lame.

Very simple toy, not particularly interesting, expensive for what it is, and it already is showing wear and tear despite the fact that my baby is only 7 weeks old and can't even play with it yet! (We hung it in the car and he stares at it how that's caused wear and tear, I have no idea!)

Who knew something so simple is all they really need to be entertained. When my daughter was an infant she loved the zBrainy Baby toys, the red white and black is truly a creepy mezmorizing thing for infants! I have bought these as baby shower gifts ever since, along with Manhattan Toy Infant Stim-Mobile, I know it looks far to simple and when my mom gave it to me and I was putting it together I could not stop making fun of it!! But turned out my daugheter loved it! At 1.5 months I would but her in her bouncy seat, with the vibration off, and attach the mobile to the side, and she would stair at all the pictures forever 30 minutes plus! After I was done with it, my sisters best friend had a baby that would screem whenever he entered the crib, never even giving it a chance, I let her borrow my mobile, as my daughter had grown out of it, and she loved it! Says it worked likea charm for both of her sons!

Apple Park Picnic Pal Organic 15" x 12" Blankie

Apple Park Picnic Pal Organic 15' x 12' Blankie, MonkeyI bought two of these adorable Bunny Blankies and both products look exactly as depicted in the picture and the packaging is perfect for gift-giving. I will definitely consider giving these as shower gifts in the future! The fabric is soft and the stitching is well done. My son immediately took to chewing on the ears and rubbing the little bunny feet very cute. However, I was a little disappointed in two things, hence the 4-star vs 5-star review.

1) I expected the square fabric piece to be 15" x 12", not the overall measurement from top of bunny head to tips of bunny toes. So the blankie isn't as large as I hoped. Still, it is a good size for an infant/toddler to snuggle.

2) The product care instructions say to line-dry only. I have not tried machine-drying because I don't want to make this blankie smaller than it already is! The heads are heavy and filled with cotton so they take a long time to dry. I recommend buying two so your child can love on one while the other is drying (and in case you happen to lose one after the child becomes attached to it!).

purchased this for my five month old two months ago, and now him and his 2 year old sister are constantly fighting over it. it is very soft and looks pre-loved straight out of the box. it's a little pricey for something made in China though.

I purchased this darling monkey for my 6 month old daughter. I liked the fact that it was organic and it was differentiated from the loveys that her sister adores. Unfortunately, at around 10 months, when left to her own devices in her crib she literally ate one of the monkey's eyeballs off. The result was a rather ghoulish-looking monkey and two parents on alert as we waited for a monkey eyeball to appear in her diaper for the next 48 hours (we found it). That was fun.

I'd recommend the Angel Dear or Under the Nile (organic) loveys as an alternative. They are also both much silkier.

I bought this for my 14 year old daughter who is going overseas on a service project. I bought it because it is smaller and softer than the blanket she would like to take. I am very pleased with its material and quality; I was surprised however with it's size. Buyers ought to almost think of a 91/2 x 11 pan when they imagine the size of this little guy.

I got the gray bunny for my eight month old son. It's not as soft as I had hoped and has an odd texture not cottony as I had expected. It's also quite thick and doesn't seem as comfy to snuggle with as a thinner blankie would be.

Baby Einstein Around the World Soother

Baby Einstein Around the World SootherWe've been using this soother for a couple weeks now and our daughter seems to enjoy it. It definitely helps her to fall asleep. Even so, I'm giving it just 3 stars out of 5: minus 1 for the volume control, and minus 1 for the short rail straps. There are just two volume settings, both of which are kinda loud; they should have instead included a volume knob to allow you to adjust the sound more precisely. As for the rail straps, the geniuses at Baby Einstein apparently think everyone has a cheap crib with skinny rails. To the contrary, just about all the popular convertible cribs sold these days have thicker railings, too think for this soother. We had to mount it to our crib sideways just to get it to fit (see attached video).

This thing stinks! The straps are too short as previous poster said. It plays a chinese type music, which would be fine, but I figured it would be mozart or something baby einsteinish. Nope. No volume control. It is tooo loud. No option to mute the music. The remote needs something soft on the back so it doesn't bang on the door from the hanger. Returning this asap.

Like most baby products, the volume controls stink.

The straps are way to short, and difficult to get off.

Ours we've had for about a year. We don't use it very often though. Maybe once a week or every other week.

The sound STOPPED WORKING. I'm an IT guy so I troubleshoot everything. It just doesn't play sound anymore. So this will be tossed into my e-waste bin because without the sound this product isn't worth keeping.

This product is great. Our son loves it and falls asleep to it every time. However, there is one downside that made me give it 4 stars instead of 5 and that's the batteries. Do yourself a favor and just change the batteries every three weeks to save yourself trouble.

Imagine putting your 7 month old down for bed. You turn his screen on and leave the room. He starts crying, harder and harder. This isn't normal. You go in, the screens off, you turn it back on. He quiets down and you leave the room. Twenty seconds later he starts crying again. You go back in and the screen is off AGAIN. Dang, the batteries are dying and you have one of three options. 1) leave him and hope he can get himself to sleep without the screen 2) stand with the door cracked and hit the button on the remote every time it shuts off which is about every 15-20 seconds 3) take him out of bed, completely ruin your bedtime routine, take down the screen which is not an easy feat, find a screwdriver, undo the back to get the batteries out, hope to God you have C batteries because who has THOSE lying around the house, replace the batteries, screw the back on and remount it on the crib. Again, not easy. Put the baby back to bed and hope you didn't just screw everything up for the night.

Other than THAT it's great.

Couldn't get a full nights sleep without this!!! It is perfect to help my children go to sleep. I love that it lasts 25 minutes, with sound softening and lights dimming as it gets closer to turning off. I recommend this to everyone that is trying to get their infant to sleep in the crib.

Clown Nose

Clown NoseBought this as an impulse purchase, mainly because at work my team is under a lot of stress so I like to bring some fun and silliness to the office. Worked great it was a very bad day, deadlines were tight and nothing seemed to be working right, so I walked out of my office wearing the nose. Very effective a lot of laughter and suddenly the day was much better.

The nose has now been adopted by the team and is attached to a notice board where anyone in need of an emergency bout of silliness can grab it and wear it!

Go ahead! You KNOW that you have been a clown for years anyway. Go ahead. Prove it to the world!

Review a clown nose? Well, it's foam...has a hollow center with a split in one side so you can put it on your nose, and then you've got a clown nose. Super nose for a clown.... what more can I say...oh, and the price was right! ;-)

I bought this as a gag and didn't realize that it wasn't nearly as large as I thought it would be. It might work out for a child or a teenager, but it is essentially too small for an adult to be of any real use.

Still, I sometime pop this clown nose on when I am in my car driving and it is amazing that almost no one ever notices that I'm wearing it.

It is okay for playing around but for a play, it wouldn't stay on when the person talked. Be sure you have more than one available.

Tiny Love Developlay Activity Center

Tiny Love Developlay Activity CenterMy son loved his Tiny Love mobile, and I thought the activity center would be a nice replacement when he grew out of it at 5 months.

Well, not so much. The supposedly simple side for younger babies features a musical smiley face button and a squeaker that require LOTS of force to make them work. My son is now 7 months old and he still can't operate them. (But he CAN use the little squeaker on the other side!) The knocker with the rattle also needs a lot of force, and even if you do manage to move it, it hardly produces any sound as it only moves a fraction of an inch. The two spinners are great and he loves those, but you can get those on any activity center. The unit is quite tall, and so far, whether lying in his playpen or sitting on the floor, he can only reach these bottom two toys.

On the other side, the toy that pops out and giggles is a lovely idea but we just can't get that door close and STAY closed. I went to a store and tried every one on the shelf and they all had the same problem. So he can't play with that feature either, really. And you need to move the lever for the spinner just so, at the right speed and with the right amount of force if you want the disc to spin.

Then, most disappointing of all, there's the music. The horrible, frenetic, tinny, nasty music that was such a shock after having the Symphony in Motion mobile. It sounded so bad that I was sure the batteries had run down, but even after replacing them it sounds the same cheap and incredibly irritating. As did all the other models in the toy store.

On the plus side, the toy is really solid, made of good quality plastic, and the colours and the design are lovely and bright and attractive.

It's outrageously expensive I live in Europe so we paid about $75 for it especially considering most of the activities are useless. I'm quite annoyed that poor old Grandad shelled out so much money for it, and didn't keep the receipt. We actually get more fun out of the old FP activity center we bought on ebay for a couple of dollars to keep at Grandma's. Lesson learned new and expensive isn't always best!

My wife bought this Activity Center because we love the Tiny Love toys, and with this one we were not disappointed. Our son plays on this for hours, both sides. We were somewhat disappointed that more than just two songs are available, and after time, you will be humming them in your sleep. The only concern I had with this toy was the two small yellow plastic loopholes on the bottom of the toy. While flipping it over, hung or not on his pack and play, one of my son's fingers would get stuck in the hole and he could not figure how to remove it tight fit. He would then panic and bend his finger back, causing him to cry out in pain or distress. I removed the loops and filed them down so this would not happen again. Not sure why they are there. Despite this, this is a great toy.

We've had this toy since my daughter was 3 months old & she's now 7 months old. We love it. She loves to push all the different buttons & listen to all the different sounds it makes. It's very colorful! My daughter will sit in her crib & play with this toy for a long time after she's woke up from a nap or in the morning. It's wonderful b/c you can hang it on the side of the crib or put it on the floor for her to play with. I would recommend anyone to buy this toy.

I bought this for my son about 3 months. This was the lowest recommended age on the product and he had just moved into his crib. I thought he would love to play with this while he was in there. He didn't, even with my encouragement he would just look at it for a few seconds. Now though at about 8 months he enjoys it. I do like the fact that it grows with him. The first side is for 3-9 months and the second side is for 9 months and up. I love Tiny Love products, but they may need to adjust the age on this one to 6 months and up.

We've received this toy as a gift from our friends and i liked the idea of 2 sides (is like having 2 new toys at once). But then, when we tried playing with it i didn't like several things:

1) side 1

has a really hard to squeak thing,

hard to pull hammer

pretty far located smiley face so the baby playing with it as an activity table (not crib mounted) won't easily reach and press it

smiley face could have more than 1 melody playing

It results in that side having only 3 things to play for the baby at 6-8 months: spinning flower, spinning ball and a mirror

2) side 2

the most i don't like in this toy (both sides) is the music of those 4 musical instruments buttons. It sounds not like it's a baby toy but like it's some kind of tool to horrify the baby. We have pretty much musical toys and none of them has the music which is soooo unpleasant. My baby just looks at tose buttons as she looks at strangers she doesn't like.

pop-up thing could have a better holding door (opens easily) and prettier "animal" inside.

the squeaky knob on this side is hard to push even for me.

To summarize i'll just say that as for me even 2 sides are not worth the money!

I don't like it at all!

Under The Nile Chick Toy

Under The Nile Chick ToyPerfect for a baby's little grip-the legs are the width of a finger-could slip out my finger at night and replace with the chick. My daughter is now two and a half and she takes her two chicks everywhere especially when it's nap time or bedtime. They have held up nicely despite lots of love and are easy to clean (inside a pillow case on delicate in the wash).

I had expected this to be a chick, as in baby chicken, which it turns out not to be. But it is a nice little bird toy nonetheless.

Fred's Swim Academy SwimTrainer "Classic"

Fred's Swim Academy SwimTrainer 'Classic' - RedI bought this SwimTrainer after I used another Amazon tube that goes around the neck--it was totally safe and we used it in the tub. We upgraded to this product and to our surprise, it was a hit for our 9 month old daughter! She is already kicking and moving herself to the other side of the pool. She isn't even crawling yet but my baby can swim! Maybe this will encourage her to crawl but I think she is going to walk before that ever happens. Good luck!

I had been holding my daughter to swim around in the pool since she's 5 months old. She's now 8 months old and getting too heavy for my wrists, so I decided to get this after I saw a friend's son using it. She was mad when I first put it on her at home. Then I tried again in the pool and she was totally ok with it since it made her float right away. I'm so happy to buy it because I don't have to hold her anymore and I can teach her how to kick from behind. It is great that it came with clear instructions telling you how to use the product.

I found it difficult to keep the air in while trying to close the valves, so I slid the cap into my mouth to close the valve while blowing. By doing so, the airchambers are inflated fuller and the valves can be depressed easier. Another down side is that you cannot put babies in their back on this product to learn back stroke.

There is some place leaked.

And I can not blow enough air so that is not comfortable for my baby.

My 4 month old daughter loves this tube. She is independent in the water...with me just a few inches away. She can splash and kick her feet....which is important and helping children navigate the water.

Want Fred's Swim Academy SwimTrainer "Classic" Discount?

I bought the red swim trainer for my son who is pretty slim for his age. At 23 months he weighs 25 lbs and is 35" long. I was having a hard time finding a swim vest or float that seemed okay for his measurements. I came across this item on Amazon and then did some digging on the net to find out more about the SwimTrainer as I had never heard of it. After discovering Fred's Academy, all the positive reviews, the cute little youtube clips of babies floating around the pool in it, I thought this would be perfect. I even decided to purchase the orange for my older boy who is almost 5 years old. Now, after using the trainers for the past 3 months at our local gym pool, I have to say that I like them, but do not love them. On the positive side, I'll say these trainers are made of a nice durable inflatable material. They do not feel like cheap plastic rafts. My older boy does jump in wearing this and so far no leaks. The best part about these floats is simply that they allow me more freedom in the pool when I am on my own with the kids. Taking two kids who can't swim to a pool without your better half is a nightmare. With the swim trainers, I have taken them to the pool once a week on my own all summer long. They keep my kids floating so that I can take turns playing with each child and help them develop some comfort/skills in the water. What does irritate me about the red one for my skinny younger boy is that, even fully inflated in all chambers, after about 25 minutes of swimming, it seems to ride up on him. That is the girdle feature that goes around his torso starts to creep upwards, and generally he appears to be sinking into the floatie. I instinctively, try to tug the thing down, but there is so much pressure holding it on so he can't fall out that you just can't tug it down. So, then I stop swimming, take the whole thing off, reposition it so it's not climbing up into his armpits, and resume swimming for another half hour or so, and then it's time to go home anyways. My older son doesn't appear to have the riding up problem, for him, the trainer just seems to twist around slightly to the left or right, and doesn't stay perfectly centered around him. He doesn't seem to care though. Also, I will say the trainer has helped my kids with kicking in the water, but it is still cumbersome for them to move their arms and paddle around the trainer. It's kind of like lying on a surfboard and paddling around the sides. They just aren't coordinated enough to do it yet. Also, my older boy's biggest problem is putting his face in the water, going under, etc. So, periodically we have to unbuckle the trainer to let him practice this skill as well. Generally, though, I like these trainers, I have found them a necessity when going to the pool, and my kids are pretty happy with them.

Wonderworld Peek A Boo Roller

Wonderworld Peek A Boo RollerI bought this for a little girl's first birthdaymy 3 yr old saw it and played with it for days leading up to the party. I was surprised she would like it bc it is a "baby" toy. She loved watching the little faces pop in and out. Sometimes she was "vacuuming", other times she was "mowing"... great for imagination! The toy is simple, but that is why it was so perfect!

Two potential drawbacks: it is noisy on non-carpeted floors, and it is wood, so if your kid likes to swing things around...watch out! I am more than willing to work around those drawbacks though and will be back to purchase another one of these once my baby learns how to walk!

Kidz Delight Smooth Touch Smart Phone, Black

Kidz Delight Smooth Touch Smart Phone, BlackI am giving it two stars mostly because one star means I hate it, and hate is such a strong word.

If you are looking for an iPhone knockoff to give your toddler to play with so he/she can leave your real phone alone, this is NOT the item to get. Any 18 months + toddler who have played with a real iPhone will not want to have anything to do with this. I think the more suitable age for this toy is more the 9-12 months crowd. My 19 months old, who's been using my iPhone since forever, looked at me like "are you kidding me" when I handed him this toy. I am returning it.

The biggest problem is, the photos are misleading. It makes it appear as if the toy has a screen like the iPhone and icons on them when you push, something will show up on the screen. That is NOT the case. There is no screen, unless you count the little dot on the upper left corner that lights up when you hit those buttons. The rest of the "screen" is just a sticker of icons, when you press "1", it just says "1". That's it! I realize $20 wasn't going to get me a real iPhone like toy, but still, this is maybe a $10 toy that's not even as good as some of the other toy phones on the market for the younger kids. Very disappointed.

I was really excited when I saw this phone on Amazon. I even preordered it! My 11 month old son is obsessed with my iPhone. The product is MUCH different in person than the one picture Amazon had up. I've included some photos so you can see what it actually looks like. The screen doesn't light up or act like its a real phone at all. Its a cheap sticker stuck onto a giant piece of white plastic. The phone is much larger and chunkier than a real iPhone, and honestly doesn't resemble it at all. Its not even fun to play with. My son took one look at it and tossed it aside. I already returned it. I might have kept it if it was around $5 (I paid $21.99 preordered), but anything more than that is NOT worth it.

Buy Kidz Delight Smooth Touch Smart Phone, Black Now

I sort of thought the whole screen would be backlit like a real iphone, but instead only one small circle icon in the upper left lights up. The rest of the buttons are just a big sticker that covers the whole front of the screen. The sticker and phone are good quality and appear to be well made.

The sound is not to loud, not to soft, just right.

The buttons are easy to press and you dont have to press down very hard at all, which is nice! It is slightly larger than a real iphone.

Overall I'm happy with it and my son seems to like it. i just wish i knew that only one small icon lights up and the rest are just an image.

I was very excited about this product when I saw it on the Amazon site... until I received it. The appearance is nice. It's light and colorful and grabs your child's attention. HOWEVER, just after a few days of use... the Keyes started to malfunction. Some when pressed didn't say anything. Other times... the correspondence didn't match what was being pressed. Everything on the phone was screwed up! Colors, numbers, & the animals were all mixed up. Definitely not something to help aid a child's learning process... Good grief! I had it less than a week and have already returned it! Big waste of money!

Tub Time Bubble Maker - Baby Bath Collection

Tub Time Bubble Maker - Baby Bath CollectionI got this for my 1 year old and she loves it! The only problem is the suction cup doesn't support the weight of the machine.

My son loves to play with bubbles in the tub and I thought this would be nice for him. The day it came in I loaded the four batteries (a lot, to me, but I knew that ahead of time), filled it with bubbles (about half of the included container!) and stuck it to the tub...where it promptly fell off into my hands. Everywhere I tried, it would not stick. Usual suction cup deal, they do not stick well. My tile is not new but it is scrubbed and clean. OK, I set it at the edge of the tub. My son is not a baby, so I know it isn't going anywhere, but the unit is not submersible in water. I understand why it is not submersible, but you have a toy meant for small children to use in the bath tub that has one single poorly made suction cup and somehow you need to keep it out of the water. I turned it on for him and it worked well, a lot of bubbles come out at a time, more that I thought should come out for use in a tub, but he was thrilled. After a while I had to keep pushing the bubbles off of the machine because, instead of flying around, they just sort of stuck to the machine and ended up as a big cluster of bubbles.

This toy is just OK. It does what it says, to an extent, and while the bubbles are flying, my son is thrilled. I don't see this being a keeper in the long run, though. Not worth the aggravation. We've had outdoors bubble blowers that work so well, blow so many more bubbles, and were about the same price. Since this will probably not work after a trip or two into the tub water, I am not counting on it. While it lasts, however, we will continue to use it. With our own bubbles. These don't go far and I am certainly not special ordering bath bubbles.

Infantino Barn Babies Teether Toy

Infantino Barn Babies Teether ToyMy 4 month old love these so many things to look at and attempt to grab and chew on. Love to clip to her car seat and go!

I use these on my Graco Snugride infant seat. They don't really hang low enough for my 3 month old to reach, but they do provide entertainment, and she like gnawing on them when I detach and hand them to her. The three "barn babies" that I received do differ from those shown in the advertising/stock photo. It appears the company may have changed their design slightly. I prefer the ones in the photo to the ones I got, but the ones I received are still acceptable. I uploaded a photo to the gallery showing the actual ones I received.

Manhattan Toy Put and Peek Birdhouse

Manhattan Toy Put and Peek BirdhouseThis is the best put in and take out toy! I (and my daughter) love that there is more than one way to take things in and out. At first my daughter loved pulling the birds through the hole in the roof, then she learned how to open the door, and keep it open ;) (this is a good one, the door flips closed if not held open this helps develop fine motor skills, I think.) And just recently she's learned to open the roof, which is a bit trickier. She likes to put the birds and ANYTHING else that will fit in it and then peek at it through the clear end. She carries it around all day filling and emptying it with anything and everything. I like that you can see through some sides and not others so some of the contents remain a surprise to little seekers. The 4 birds are very cute and full of many textures. They have a soft rattle which wouldn't disturb any one sitting near you in public (but I think different noises in each would be fun too, i.e. jingle, different rattles, etc.) Still, this has been well played with for the past 9 months and I expect it will still be out for many more. I think it is welll worth the bit higher price tag. Manhattan Toys are creative, cute, and fun! Kudos!

This is a fabulous toy! My son received it at around 8 months, and still loves it as he approaches his first birthday. We often spend an hour straight playing with it; he loves to examine each bird, to put them in, peek into the birdhouse to see what they're up to, and pull them back out. Between the large door, the small hole and the roof that opens, there are lots of options.

The engineering on this is exceptional. The fabrics are bright and stimulating. I highly recommend this for your own child, or as a stand-by gift for any child between 6 and 24 months.

I bought this toy for my daughter to take to church when she was probably 8 mos. or so. She is 18 mos. now and still likes it. It keeps her interest for a long time. The roof opens, the door at the end opens, and she can put the birds in the hole in the top of the bouse. The birds do make a little noise when you shake them, which is good for her to hear, but quiet enough for church. And she loves carrying it herself! Great toy!!

08/17/05 Update:

Now baby is 9 months and still loves the little birds. He plays a lot with this house and lately he's fascinated by the front door. Now he stuffs the house not only with the birds but all the toys that fit inside are welcome. I'm surprised about the long lasting residents of the little house: Altough you are supposed only to surface clean them, during this 7 months they have been washed more than TWENTY times on the washer machine (gentle cycle) and then dryed on the dryer machine and they are like new! still colorful and the rattles still make noise! The shoe lace-like feet of two of the birds stopped loosing strands, so I didn't have to cut them off. Only complaint now, is that the stitches inside the house are now falling appart. They are poorly hand-stitched, and the one in the middle of the roof (inside the house) had fall apart completelly and you can see the plastic red handle from the inside. I had to repair it last week. Otherwise I still love this toy!

...................................................

My baby is only 10 weeks old (it is recommended to 6+ months), but we decided to buy the house anyway because it was irresistible to me when we were at the store (too cute), and my baby loved the birds!. At this time he is not interested in playing put and peek, but he held the birds and play with them for a looong time

The house comes with one plastic wall , opposite to this wall there is a green door, which remains closed if not held to be open, and two little round windows in the other 2 walls. One side of the roof opens completely, and has a little velcro strap to be closed (this I know will be difficult to the little ones to be used, because the strap is tiny and not so accesible) but the roof remains closed if the house is hold by the handle.

4 little cute birds, colorful and easy to grab for little hands, and very chewables! I have to say that two birds come with fabric little feet and the other 2 with kind of shoe laces strings, and these two seem to be loosing strands that could be swallowed by babies. I think there will be a moment in were I have to cut the feet of those two fellas.

The 4 birds come with a rattle inside them, nothing fancy.

I would say I really like this toy and my baby is having fun with it.

Only complaint is that the house seems more wrinkled in the plastic wall than in the pictures, and we tried to pick out the less wrinkled one.

My daughter received this for her first birthday, and she has played with it every day for months! The bright colors and interesting patterns are wonderful; the birds double as rattles and have a variety of textures; and the multiple openings into the birdhouse give her different ways to put the birds in and take them out. A big plus--it's a "no-battery-needed" toy and the only noises associated with it are the child's giggles and talk to the birds.

Bought this adorable stuffed puppy for a foreign exchange student who was returning to Indonesia and had fallen in love with her hosts' flat coated retriever and wanted to pack him in her suitcase and take him home. This puppy was the next best thing. Looked well made, was very soft and the right size for packing. She was very happy.

I heard that my nephew was playing around with the toy for quite some time so I believe it's durable. I thought it would be larger but that was my fault for not reading the measurable of the toy. All in all a fine gift.

We bought these for our son when he was seven months old. The crab and the octopus are squirty toys but are also soft and has plush legs which our son loves to chew on. The fish is a spounge surrounded by terry cloth and can be used to spounge OR as a chewy toy in the bath. We love this because there are only three toys which is perfect for first bath toys and our son (and our bathtub) is not overwhelmed by too many toys. All of them float as well which makes it easy for them to be grabbed by little hands. The only thing (which has not been a problem for us) is that they should squeezed out and placed somewhere to dry. We have been placing them in the tub edge and they are still somewhat wet after two days. But that has not been a problem for us. We love these and would recommend them as first bath toys.

Playskool Sesame Street Elmo's Cell Phone

Playskool Sesame Street Elmo's Cell PhoneMy 2 year old Grandaughter loves this toy. It easily slides up and down to change pictures of Sesame Street friends.

Best of all for Moms and Dads the volume is normal and quite bearable.

I purchased this for my son as a Christmas gift. He has an older Elmo cell phone and I'm pretty sure he'll prefer this one! Once you slide the phone up a call will be made to a Sesame Street Character. I know that any Sesame Street lover will really enjoy this toy!

Elmo is addicting for babies, and this phone was the perfect gift for my grand babies! Love it, and I read all the information and comments, so I did not pull out the tab! The sound is perfect and I am so glad other people took the time to write about the sound being too low if you took out the tab.

This phone was perfect for my 2 yr old grandson. He has been playing with it for several months and the batteries are still going strong! He is full boy so this little phone has been dropped many times and still works to his parent chagrin...

It's good to protect children's hearing but it's way too quiet to hear the sound. My granddaughter lost interest in 30 min.

Infantino Activity Shapes Jungle

Infantino Activity Shapes JungleMy 3 month old hadn't been too interested in touching toys yet. He stared at things, and followed them with his eyes, but he didn't reach out and play. These were the first toys he reached out for and when placed in his hand, he held on! As he grows I can see these will be a lot of fun for him to play with, they're great! Two of the three have a teething piece, and the third has a mirror. There are lots of features to these toys that I can tell will delight him more and more now that he's got the hang of holding them.

These were given as a gift to our son. He loves them. He plays with these more than any other toy he has right now they also work for teething. We love them.

I have never written a review but these animals deserve it! They are the first toys that my baby started tracking. She loved the colors and the sounds, especially the lion. When she was old enough to reach for things these where the first she reached for. The elephant and monkey have so many different things (tags, teething ring, tail, nose, ears etc...) that she can hang on to it made it easy for her to play with them for long periods of time. She is almost 8 months old and still loves playing with these guys! Now that she's mobile she'll cross the room just to get to them. I would HIGHLY recommend!
