Kidz Delight Smithsonian Kids Dino Tablet, Green

I have two sons. One is 8yrs old and one is 18months old and they both love this tablet!! There is a lot of info about the Dinos and quizzes for a fun way to increase knowledge!

My son received the Dino tablet for Christmas. The only thing that lights up is the far corner icon on the tablet, but when he presses the dinos they make noises and the tablet is very eduacational. He is really enjoying this. There were some mixed reviews, so I was hesistant on buying this. But so far, he loves the tablet. Its keeping him away from my touch screen phones and tablets...

Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess: Ariel's Coach

My 3-year old daughter has the Fisher-Price Little People Princess Palace Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace which is one of her all-time favorites. In fact, she loved it so much that we (my wife and me) thought that the Ariel Coach would be the perfect accessory. While it is fun it doesn't quite reach the level of the Princess Palace.

Notes -

When you press Sebastian you get a variety of sound effect, and the occasional playing of the song "Under the Sea"

The carriage/coach has spots for both Ariel and Eric, but unfortunately, they do not fit snugly in their seats. So when they go on rides in their coach they have a tendency to fall out.

I worry about the long-term durability of the coach. It seems like the connection between the coach and the seahorse is weak and could snap.

When placed in the Princess Palace Ariel is fully interactive and has 5 or 6 saying. Eric on the other hand, only plays the dance music (and for what it is worth.... just like beast)...nothing more or nothing else.

The wheel on the sea horse is not perfectly round (on purpose) so that it gives the impression that seahorse is swimming through the water.

Batteries are included and it does not require any assembly.

Final Verdict A nice accessory to the Disney Princess Palace, but it certainly does not offer the same long-term as the castle. I would certainly recommend it to fans of "The Little Mermaid", but for others you may find that Ariel and Eric get played with more than the Carriage/Coach.

3 1/2 Stars

Not the most "fun" of toys for the money when it comes to little people toys. I would rate it okay. Wish it played more than the 4 short tidbits that it does. My daughter just keeps hitting the button to listen to the same little segment over and over so I just wish that was a little longer. These little people do not have the same shape as the other little people and fall out of the coach all the time.

UPDATE Jan 21, 2013:

My daughter loves to play with Ariel and Eric but really only with the princess palace. I understand the reasoning behind why the bottoms are the way they are but she doesn't really play with the coach at all because the figures constantly fall out. I'll keep it at 3 stars though because they are pretty cool to put in the palace. :)

My daughter in nearing 4 and very interested in the Disney princesses. That said, I am not sure the age span for this as noted "5yrs"...Little people products are very durable and have held up nicely in the past, but do seem a little for younger children. That said, my daughter is more interested in the "character" aspect of Ariel and Eric than anything. She'll play with this for a good amount of time.

Want Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess: Ariel's Coach Discount?

We have the Princess Castle and I thought my child would enjoy this coach since she LOVES Ariel. The person who designed this obviously didn't ever play with it. These Little People have a different bottom than regular Little People. The place where Ariel and Eric sit do not hold them into place. If you try to make the coach drive around with them, they come flying out. If you have other Little People, they will stay in it, but that is hardly the point.

Oh, and you might want to know that the Ariel that comes with it does work with the castle, but it says the same thing as the other Ariel wearing the pink dress. I actually found this on the Walmart website and only paid $10. It really isn't worth much more than that.

Melissa & Doug Frolicking Frog Pull Toy --

I handed the wrapped package to my grandson (1) and he ripped it open. We broke it open from the packaging, which was not hard, and then gave it to him. He dashed across the floor with the frog right behind. Then his older brother (3) decided he would like it. So they yelled and screamed for possession of the toy. Finally, we promised the older boy that he could have one, too.

Peace was restored in the house. The frog is really cute, almost indestructible, and just appropriate for the age group. Just plan on getting two of them if you have two toddler-age kids.

This little frog is so cute. I ordered it for my nephew for Christmas. He is a little too young to actually walk with it but he like the colors and he was tickled when someone else walked with it. Very sturdy. I can not remember all the details about this toy, but I do know that when I opened the package before I wrapped it I said "Aawwww that is soooo cute!"

My daughter got this as an early Christmas present from her grandmom, and she's been having so much fun running through the house pulling the frog behind her. I really think this is a durable, well made gift that is great for a toddler. I expect it will last longer than her intrest in it-which given the plastic crap that is out there is a very good thing!

B. Hellophone - Lime/Pattern

The toy is great! It came quickly and was brand new as promised. My son has played with this phone for almost a year and loves it! I wish it had more recording time, it only records about 5 seconds, but otherwise no issues.

The box this comes in is really nice! I only have 2 pre-recorded messages on the one we got at Target. My son has learned what to do with my cell phone now that he's had this toy, he also uses other things as phones and holds them up to his hear and talks! He isn't as excited about it as he once was, he's had it for 2 months, but that's how it goes with babies and toys! A good purchase.

Buy B. Hellophone - Lime/Pattern Now

As phone toys go, this seems like a pretty nice one. It doesn't get played with nearly as heavily as many of my daughter's other toys, so I can't quite give it the four or five star rating on level of "fun", and it isn't nearly as educational as many other toys, either. But for what it is, a toy phone, it does the job very well, and I'm pleased with it. I liked the feature for recording a personalized message. I do wish the recording sounded a bit better; it's sampling rate is very poor, so my voice sounds more than a bit distorted when played back. Regardless, my daughter does enjoy playing with this phone off and on and hearing the various sounds that occur when pushing the buttons. I'm glad I purchased it.

Miyim Simply Organic 3 Ring Monkey Stacker Plush Toy, 0-3 Months

Super cute toy, and my baby loves chewing on the crunchy arms and tail, but when I threw it in the wash, the colors nearly left it completely. Also, the threads holding the head on broke easily. It's too much money for something that doesn't hold up to normal use.

For our review, we received the adorable Three Ring Monkey Stacker. This little guy is perfect for baby's who are starting to learn coordination. The large hoops are soft but big and easy to pull on off the plush stacker. They are easy to grip and baby's will love to chew on them. Like all their toys, the monkey is made from certified organic and natural cotton and even the dyes used in them are free of toxins. My daughter loved taking playing with the stacker and since there are no small pieces, we can even play with it in her playpen while I'm straightening up. It is machine wash safe. I noticed the other reviewer commented that the threads holding the head on came off easily. The head is not meant to stay on permanently. The threads were just part of the packaging and meant to be removed. The head is supposed to come off because its one of the pieces of the stacker. The price is a little high though, which is why I give it four stars instead of five.

***I received this item for free in exchange for an honest review on my blog, New Age Mama***

Haba Fabric Bear Titus

Cute bear, my son gave it a hug the moment he saw it. I wish it taught how to dress and undress the bear i.e. undo buttons, zippers, snaps etc.

Otherwise my son enjoys playing with Titus.

Bought this for my sister. We like stuffed animals in general and so don't care for its educational value, which I am not sure it has any. It's a teddy bear. It's really cute and very well made. But I was expecting it to be soft and cuddly like other baby soft toys. It's actually rather dense and firm.

When it comes to soft stuffed animals, Mary Meyers seems to have a handle on the market. The fur is so soft and everything, from the antlers to the cute bow, seems to be handled with love and affection. My neice loves it and sleeps with it most nights. Thanks so much.

Munchkin Fun Ice Chewy Teether, Colors and Design May Vary

I purchased several teethers on amazon, but avoided buying this one due to the negative reviews, & the lack of being able to choose which one you want. Lo & behold, today at my local Target store, I found these munchkin freezable teethers! I purchased a 2 pack (yellow hand & blue foot) for just $2.99! I know for sure that these were not at my store before, believe me, I'm very familiar with the baby section at my Target... so I can only assume they are new in stock. I found this 2 pack of teethers, as well as a couple of other new teether choices, on the aisle with all of the pacifiers.

As for the product itself, my son Jordan LOVES them. He carries one in each hand, and alternates chewing on the hand and foot. He likes them cold or room temp, and they are firm enough for resistance, but still soft enough to chomp into. He even chews on the back side of the hand and foot (not just fingers and toes), as shown in the customer photo I uploaded. He is 12 months old and FINALLY working on his first teeth, so he most likely has a bigger mouth than some teething babies do, but these teethers don't strike me as too large.

And for the customers with baby girls, Target did have a 2 pack for girls too. Pink and purple I believe.

I purchased the "hand" teether and my 6 month old really enjoys it because it is cold and STAYS cold. I like it because it can be frozen (other teethers can only be refrigerated), so it is more soothing on his sore teeth/gums.

I also like the hand shape as the fingers sticking out make it an interesting shape for my baby.

I would like to reiterate the previous poster's review who recommended that you should buy this at Target. They are currently selling a two pack for 3.15, and in that package you are guaranteed to get one hand, which is the most useful shaped teether.

I would not order this again. I should not have done so to begin with, but I was hoping for a hand.. I know, big shock, I got the foot! It is too large for the bbay to hold much less get a bite on! I think it is ridiculous that we (THE CUSTOMERS) cannot choose which teether we want. The hand would have been perfect to reach the back teeth and it is a smaller size. The foot is huge and useless.

Want Munchkin Fun Ice Chewy Teether, Colors and Design May Vary Discount?

This product was recommended to me by a co-worker and it also comes with a 'foot' but when I ordered both, I received 2 hands; but in all fairness, the seller had indicated that there is a possibility that I would not be able to get the foot and I was fine with that. My son has yet to take an interest in this product at all. We tried all types of ways to get him to use it especially now that his teeth are breaking but he tossed it on the floor several times and he started to cry each time we gave it to him. It is not ideal for younger babies as it is simply too big. I am not sure if the foot is better but the hand did not work for my son and at all. We had invested in other teething toys which seem to work so much better than this one. This is filed under "oh well, I tried, but it did not work for us".

Little Tikes Fold Away Climber

1st time reviewer. Wanted to let other moms (and dads) know that:

1) easy to put together just follow directions (20-30 max time needed)

2) no big deal: there are no rails between ladder and slide. i positioned that side against one wall in my house and it serves as my additional wall.

3) slide is great! to me the picture of the slide looks like there is a stopper or lip at the end of the slide to stop a baby from flying off the end. There is no abrupt stop or lip. Smooth, safe and FUN ride all the way down.

4) My son (16mths) is so worn out he PASSED out tonight from playing so much today. All I can say is THANK YOU Little Tikes :-)

5) I live in a townhome so no yard and no storage inside. This toy is big enough to provide hours of entertainment. Versitile you can store it away in an instant. I bought this for inside play but this could easily go outside as well.

You cannot go wrong buying this toy from BabyAge. It's Versitile. Play soccer or basketball or slide. Stores Easily. Great Deal. Excellent Toy.

Only drawback I can find is the only ball it comes with is a basketball. It's as big as a Size 1 soccer ball. perfect size for baby.

We got this for our 20 month old son for Christmas hoping it would provide some energy draining fun during the winter months, and we are so glad we did! He plays on it every day for a fairly good amount of time. He plays basketball, then climbs up and goes down the slide, the sends trucks and balls down the slide too. We were worried about the size of it and him outgrowing it too soon, since he's the size of the average 3 yr old, but it's perfect for him. I don't know about how easy it is to fold up since we've never had to do it, but it doesn't look that complicated. Since there is no railing on the back of the platform, we put a floor pillow on our wood floors behind it just in case he fell off, which he has, and he was fine. Overall, we are extremely happy we purchased this, and have recommended it to quite a few friends of ours.

What a terrific idea. Just enough activity for little attention spans. The fold-up feature is great. It's not too heavy for mom to move around.

Want Little Tikes Fold Away Climber Discount?

My 18-month old loves this climber. We live in a small apartment. With this climber, my child can climb, slide and shoot hoops without using a lot of space or going outside in bad weather. There is a net under the basketball hoop that can be used for playing soccer. The height of the hoop is adjustable for a growing toddler.

The negatives: The ladder to the slide is not user-friendly for my toddler. If I did not assist her w/ the ladder, she would fall or not be able to use the slide. There is nothing around the platform between the ladder and the slide to prevent a toddler from falling off. Hence, a child must be closely supervised at all times. Finally, the slide has a speed bump at the bottom, which can result in a rough end to the ride. However, the bump prevents my child from flying across the room when she gets to the bottom. Note that this toy can easily move on a wood floor.

Overall, the slide is fun, fun, fun. Toddlers like to climb, and this toy satisfies that need.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Say Please Tea Set

This is such a cute little tea set. A friend of mine bought this for my daughter's first birthday. It is a perfect first tea set. Like the other reviewer mentioned, it is not meant to be used with liquids which is perfectly fine with me! Less mess! The teapot is the cutest part... there are three different settings: one that just has cute sounds when you "pour" the tea, when you lift/close the lid, and when you press the "tag". The other two settings have various sounds or music and songs that go along with the actions. My daughter is only 12 months old, so pretend play is still somewhat of a foreign concept to her. But we have fun exploring all the sounds the pot makes. She likes to "cheers" the tea cups with me, and she will "take a sip" from the cup and go "Ahhhh" at the end. I imagine she will grow into this toy a little more in the next few months!

UPDATE: Still a favorite toy at 27 months! She sings along with the teapot, and will set up all of her stuffed animals and offer them tea. It is just too cute. We have other tea sets, but she still gets this "pot" to pour since it makes all the sounds!

FISHER-PRICE LAUGH & LEARN TEA SET

What a wonderful toy for any child! We bought this play set for our two year old grand daughter. What fun she has with it. The teapot is very durable and plays music, teaches manners, shapes, all in a delightful English accent. When you pour from the pot you can hear the tea coming out. Or -you can shut the pot off and let your child use their own imagination. Which Paige does! She walks around 'watering' my plants and 'refilling the dogs water dish' with her tea pot. The tea pot has a sweet little face and comes in the favorite colors of many little girls, purple and pink.

Also included are two purple tea cups which do not hold water. And that is OK! Who needs the mess?

There is also a charming little plate with three desserts included. They are in three different shapes so little ones can learn how to place them correctly on the pink plate. Paige enjoys 'serving' us each a dessert or we have found them sitting on the kitchen table placed at everyone's seat. Learning can be fun!

This is a sweet little tea set for any little girl who will be learning while having so much fun. Must go! Time for another tea party!

Thank you.

I got this for my 18 month old daughter for Christmas. The first one we got was defective. One of the modes didn't work at all. So we got a replacement directly from FP. The new one worked but for some reason the voice was more "sped up". I don't know why this is. None of the stores have it sped up. But on to the toy.

The construction is good. My daughter has thrown it around a bunch and it still works fine. I like that it has "please and thank you's" included. Not very many toys teach these kind of things. I guess I wouldn't say it teaches it, it more reinforces it.

My daughter plays with it very occassionally. Mostly she just plays the music with the button. It is pretty limited in terms of play value but it does what it advertises.

I like the tip and pour motion. It is a good mimic for the child of pouring a real pot into a glass.

I would reccomend buying this but don't expect it to have a long term replay value. It's an occassional use toy but it is very cute!

This tea set was given to my daughter on her 1 year old birthday by my Aunt. At first she put it aside, but in about a month when the other toys had become "old" she pulled this one out. Now, 4 months later she still plays with it. She likes all the different modes with the songs, counting,etc... The tea pot is her favorite part and she quickly learned how to make it "pour" tea over and over. The sound is not so loud that it annoys the others in the room. It is a toy she will carry all around the house because it's just the right size for her hands and for her to carry while walking. We LOVE this toy!

Fisher-Price Classic Farmer Says See N Say

My daughter received this for her first birthday and just loves it. She is not one to just sit in a lap but when my husband gets home from work, she goes and picks it up and brings it to him so they can sit in the chair and play farmer says. She loves to point at the animals and thinks the music is great. No problems pulling the lever (also great fun). The toy has been dropped many a time and my daughter also thinks it is great fun to stand on it, No problems to speak of.

I have to agree with the other review what's with the bunny going "boing boing"? That's ridiculous. And my son also had trouble pulling the handle for a while.

I admit though, my son likes this toy and it is kinda nice to have two different sides so there are more animals. However, I really wish there was a way to turn off the quiz function. Or if the quiz section was only on one side. This toy appeals to a lot of children who are too young to get the quiz thing, and it's a little disruptive when they get into the groove of learning about animal sounds (even the made-up ones) and all of a sudden the thing is asking them questions. And you either have to fix it by pointing the arrow to the correct animal yourself, or wait until it turns itself off. I mean, I'm sure it's a nice feature for kids who are big enough to understand how to do it, but I just really would rather not deal with it sometimes.

I bought this because my mom was desperate for the classic version that I played with as a kid. This isn't it. The toy is smaller and the handle is so stiff my 15 month old gets pissed trying to make it talk. Also, in the interest of cramming more animals in there are 'sounds' that are non-sense like the bunny who goes 'boing' are you kidding me? Use your cash to buy something GOOD for the baby in your life.

Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Classic Farmer Says See N Say Here

As many reviews as I write, I wish I would've read the others listed on here. This toy is NOT the toy you remember from the 80's. It's cheap, small, flimsy and the paint is sloppy. The handle is too hard for toddlers to pull all the way down in one fluid motion, and unless you do just that, no sound comes out. In other words, unless you pull the handle down quickly and completely, the spinner moves without making any noise kind of difficult when you have the motor skills of a 20 month old.

What I was looking for was the old toy I had growing up, where you'd pull the handle and the spinner would land on an animal and give that noise "The cow says 'Moo!'" for instance. This toy has goofy sentence structure and for some reason they felt if necessary to incorporate the "quiz" square where the voice repeatedly asks you to find an animal until you physically turn the spinner to that animal and pull the handle. Again, too confusing for a toddler who just wants to hear animal sounds associated with pictures of animals. I wouldn't buy this toy for any of my younger children and am so disappointed. On top of being plain dumb, it's cheaply and poorly made. Don't waste your money as for me, I'm going look for a well-preserved original at a yard sale or bidding site.

Lamaze Fill Em Up Frog

When I purchased this item I thought it was going to be larger and able to hold more then just the toys that it comes with. I was hoping to store more of my son's bath toys in it. Unfortunately it is just large enough to hold the toys that it comes with.

Like all of the Lamaze items I have purchased this item is well made and my son has enjoyed it. He is just starting to figure out how to take the toys in and out of it. My one complaint would be that the Frog's mouth is fairly small and it is a bit hard for a baby to take the toys in and out as the fit is fairly tight.

If you are looking for a bath toy this is great, if you are looking for a place to store toys I would recommend you keep on looking.

Haba sticky bricks (sticky building blocks) 13 Piece

I got these for my one year old and he has really enjoyed them. The large one or two pegs per block make it easy for small hands to stack. Also, the pegs make it so the blocks don't fall over from a slight bobble. These blocks are quite durable and are a quality product. I like them so much I have started giving them as gifts.

as far as toys goi will pay the extra money for things not made in china. (and we live on a single incomeand not a high one..) but it's worth it to meand i have more ease watching my six month old chew on these and put these in her mouth knowing there is no lead paintplus she loves the bright colors of the blocks and will play with these for a long time. they are all different shapes and colorsi like that they are wooden and not plastic too.

Buy Haba sticky bricks (sticky building blocks) 13 Piece Now

These blocks are great!!! They have a stain-like paint applied to the exterior and the connect parts are left unfinished. There are 4 rectangular blocks, 2 cubes, 2 small cylinders, 2 large cylinders, 2 triangular shaped blocks all painted various colors and one large unfinished block. Each piece fits perfectly together. My one year old son loves to build and knock these blocks down. They have a great natural sound when they hit the floor. The blocks are easy for him to grasp. A prior reviewer stated these blocks were made in China but they are not, they are Made in Germany who maintains high standards for children's toys. I want to be able to allow my son to play with toys that are non-toxic and not worry whether or not he puts them in his mouth. I would have liked this kit to contain more than 13 blocks but it was well worth it.

I was looking for a while for a first blocks for my 1 year old. And this is it. They are easy for him to grab. They are easy to stack and the peg and hole design helps to be stacked without using a force (like some plastic blocks). I was worried about an amount only 13 but it seems that for my little one it it just enough . Later we can buy more and we definitely will, because they are really pleasurable to play with. They are finished with a great quality (not like others I had in my hands). Colors are bright and paint is non toxic.

This is a lovely set of wooden blocks that use a Lego-type mechanism to keep them from falling over. The wood is hard wood and the paints seem very durable.

I like the colors and my daughter seems to enjoy stacking them as well. The set does not contain many blocks, though, so you cannot go very high. It's almost like a starter set.

I think that if I could do it again, I would prefer to buy something without the Lego fit-in pieces, and something with more blocks.

Action Blocks

Bought these for my little girl who is 1. She doesnt really play with them that much. They are cute and bright. Maybe when she gets bigger and starts stacking things she will use them more.

Good toy. My ten month old likes these and they keep her busy! Would recommend. Good size blocks and good price.

TUPPERWARE Shape O Ball Toy

The Tupperware shape sorter is the best baby sorting toy out there. We live abroad now, but I picked up 4 of them to bring back to Europe.

The reasons, why it is so great: 1.) Form and function are above all other similar sorting toys. 2.) It is plastic and easy to lift and clean (A lot of parents prefer wood. But often the wood sorters are simply too heavy and bulky to be handled by little toddlers) 3.) It is formed like a facetted ball. That makes it easy for baby to turn it around and get seriously involved by looking for the right hole by themselves. 4.)The cut out holes and the shapes are very precise. Only *1* shape fits into *1* correct hole. Many other shape sorters even more expensive ones allow for wiggling forms into wrong holes 5.) It is a mental challenge because some of the shapes are really hard to discern 6.) It is no "loose pieces nuisance" like so many other toys because: when you are finished, all pieces are automatically back inside. 7.) Keeps baby busy for about 10 minutes

For ages 9 months and up.

In short: One of the best!!

I had one of these when I was a kid, so it was largely nostalgia that prompted me to buy one for my son; as it turns out though, it's a really nice toy. It's very nice and light, so if it gets thrown, it's not going to break anything; it has quite a few pieces for your child's shape sorting enjoyment; all the pieces store inside the ball when not being played with; when the ball is full of pieces it makes a satisfying rattling noise that my son really likes; it's visually appealing; it's quite durable. The only think I don't like about it, is that the halves of the ball are rather hard to pull apart, my kids (3.5 years and 18 months)both need help with this, which rather defeats the purpose of a play-alone toy. Still, once I dump out the pieces for them, they really like putting them all back again. One thing I especially like about this shape sorter is that it has several shapes, and a few of them are similar, which means that it's genuinely challenging, and even a young pre-schooler who is learning shapes, can have fun with this toy. It's not just for babies.

The yellow handles pull apart to get at the shapes inside. I gave it as a gift, and the first time we pulled it apart to get the shapes out, the cord that hooks the two sides together came off the hook, so for all intents and purposes it is broken, as we do not have a tool for reconnecting the cord. 40 Years ago when my son was a child every mom I knew had one of these for their kids. I never knew of one breaking before. I don't know if it is made differently now, or what. But, it used to be a great toy -40 years ago.

Isn't that the main factor here? She's 2 (August 5, 2009) and loves to play with it. She has me get the shapes out as she has trouble with that, so we can play with it together, which to me is a huge bonus. She's quickly learning her shapes and colors. The item seems quite durable. I paid a little bit more in buying it from a Tupperware guy, charging about $10 more than you can get it for on Amazon. But he's a nice guy, and I am supporting a local business, so, it's all good. Amazon is getting a lot of grief for its sales tax policies now, too! Let's resist the WalMarts, Sam's Clubs, and so on! Buy local. The Walton family is already obscenely wealthy.

My daughter may still be a little young for this toy, but she still loves to help me put the shapes in. I like that we can use it for counting as well, since the shapes have numbers on them.

I was very pleased when I received the item. It is much larger than I thought it would be, but I am sure my nephew will enjoy it. There is so much for the baby to explore on this cute zebra.

My daighter loves it! She's had it for 3 months (she is currently 6 1/2 months) and she's still discovering new things about it! Don't fill your house with toys... this friendly zebra has it all!
