The bunny was/is a hit! I recorded myself singing a little tune and she LOVED it. She was dancing and clapping and the rabbit is sooooo soft. Definitely a perfect purchase :).This bunny is absolutely adorable! He is incredibly soft, hugable and lovable. The only down side is there is only 10 seconds worth of recordable space, but it does work really well. We got this for our granddaughter (almost 2 years-old).

Baby Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Disney Invitations 8 Count
I must admit, when i saw these on Amazon, I found it was cute but after I received them, oh my goodness, these invitations were super adorable! The complete packaging was amazing, I love the "save the date" and "baby mickey" stickers that came along. I used the baby mickey sticker as the sealer for the envelope and the save the date sticker as the stamp. My friends and family were amazed by the birthday invitations, they love the entire layout. Of course, I kept one as a keepsake :)These are so cute and come with save the date stickers and stickers I used to seal the back of the envelope. They are good quality thick card stock material. Could not be happier with them!Buy Baby Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Disney Invitations 8 Count Now

Kids Preferred Peter Rabbit Bean Bag Plush Toy
The stuffed animal is much smaller than I anticipated, for what I paid for it anyhow. It's not much bigger than the palm of your hand... I wish I would have splurged and bought the more expensive Kids Preferred Peter Rabbit. I do not think it will be durable enough to stand up to the infant I bought it for, let alone the future washing it will need after I give it to her. It's not a good gift for children but it would be very cute for a collector.Very cute Peter Rabbit stuffed animal, just as cute as I perceived a Beatrix Potter creation would be. I have Peter, Jeremy Fisher, and Jemima Puddle Duck. They make quite an attractive group to admire for all ages. Especially if you love Beatrix Potter books.Buy Kids Preferred Peter Rabbit Bean Bag Plush Toy Now
This was a really nice toy very soft and looks like Peter Rabbit in the books. We gave it as a companion to a complete set of Beatrix Potter stories. So, at bedtime, she has a bunny to go with her stories:-) Loved it!Read Best Reviews of Kids Preferred Peter Rabbit Bean Bag Plush Toy Here

I bought this along with a Peter Rabbit book for a granddaughter who is expecting her first child. The bunny is adorable and granddaughter loves him, but he's more for decoration than play value. The Big Book of Peter Rabbit I sent with it will get much more use.Wednesday, July 2, 2014

Toy Ambulance Bump N Go With Flashing Lights
My granddaughter loves playing with this along with her FP Hospital. She especially loves that she can push a button and hear a cough etc...Great toy, not only can you play doctor, but this ambulance also flashes its lights, makes siren noises and runs around on its own. The best part is that it is so smart, the ambulance recognizes when it runs into something and turns itself around. It is great!

Munchkin Muddy Pigs Bath Toy
Very cute bath toys. My sons (3 1/2 yrs & 11 months) got this for Christmas in their stockings. Very cute how the mud "goes away" in the warm water and comes back when it is out of the water. I just didn't know that they could "squirt". I was trying to purchase all bath toys that don't squirt b/c I was sick of the gross mold that grows in the toys. But I used a hot glue gun to seal up the hole before it went in the water and so far it has worked. All in all a very cute toy. Definitely recommend!We bought these pigs for our 2 year old daughter... she was actually just over 1 when we first bought them. Now she understands more about the pigs when they are dirty and how to clean them. She loves these little guys. They are very cute! The only downfall is they are meant to squirt water so you have the mold issue on the inside. However, that can be fixed by a little hot glue in the hole. :)Buy Munchkin Muddy Pigs Bath Toy Now
I got these for my 16 month old. The mud fades when hot water is on it, but does not disappear. My son likes to nibble on their ears, and where his teeth have been, the paint has scraped away, which means he ended up eating it. So the 'mud' will probably wear off pretty quickly if your kids play often with them. My son likes them because they are a good size to hold, they float, and yes, he can chew on them. They squirt water out of their mouths, but if you tip the water into their head at the end of the bath, you can squirt it all out with none left behind. I always empty his toys of water when he's done playing with them. I give them a four because the mud doesn't actually fade more than halfway, and scrapes off really easily.Read Best Reviews of Munchkin Muddy Pigs Bath Toy Here
As cute as these little piggies are the mud DOES NOT fade away!! We have the dirty dogs and the mud fades almost away with warm water...it's enough to get the effect and have fun washing them...the muddy pigs don't fade at all...very disappointed.Want Munchkin Muddy Pigs Bath Toy Discount?
NO.1. The paint went off when we gently washed the pigs before the first use.
2. The mud spots don't fully disappear, so it must be a disappointment for older children.
3. They don't float upright, only drift sadly on their backs :(
Two stars for being cute, but we WON'T USE IT for our baby.
Cheers.

Tolo Toys Activity Play Cube
I have been looking for a toy small enough to travel but entertains for an extended period of time. I purchased this toy for my 9 month old who immediately loved it and played with it for about an hour. He has his favorite pieces already and by flipping/rotating the cube I can update the current side he's interested in or change it altogether. What a treasure for both mommy and baby.This is a well made, educational, bright, strong toy. Great value for the price. A good toy for developing motor skills, my 8 month old loves it.Buy Tolo Toys Activity Play Cube Now
Our baby loves this toy. He plays with it for long periods of time. It's particularly good for a quiet-time activity or in the car seat. We first gave it to him at 6 months. He's 12 months now and still enjoys it.Got this for my son around 8 months. He has never been in love with it, but it provides reliable distraction on a fairly regular basis. I most use this in the car with my son, and he likes it more there since he is strapped in and sort of forced to focus on it (when he's not strapped in, he's crawling all over and gets bored by stuff like this). The quality is excellent.This is smaller than I thought it would be, and there aren't many activities besides things that spin, a squeaker and a little mirror. This is basically like any other rattling baby toy.Monday, May 12, 2014
Chicco Sleep and Play Musical Puppy Crib Toy
Like that it plays pieces like Ave Maria and others and it doesn't just run for 30 sec and stops. The tune goes on for some time and then moves on to the next piece so I don't have to keep pressing it to get it going again. Easy to install using tie-strings, runs on 3x AA. Can't adjust the volume on this one so that's the one thing I'd ask to change on it.I was looking at the Fisher-Price Kick and Play vs this one and decided to go with this Chicco version since some of the reviews for the Fisherr-Price were about volume and sound problems. So far baby girl enjoys it and even with the hard back and her kicking, she's not scratching up her crib or I'm not able to notice since her crib is white. The music and sound quality is great.Buy Chicco Sleep and Play Musical Puppy Crib Toy Now
We got this toy as a gift and it turns out to be the biggest hit. Turn it on and the fussing stops! He plays with it all the time. The music is really clear and the songs are a good choice. He likes to pet the the soft ears too. I highly recommend this toy.Read Best Reviews of Chicco Sleep and Play Musical Puppy Crib Toy Here
My 3 month old loves loves loves this toy. It keeps him entertained in his crib whereas before he would yell to get my attention if I left him there for more than 5minutes.This toy is also great for his development I watch him moving his feet around to find the different sounds and he has recently started trying to imitate the notes. Its amusing for baby AND mommyI bought this for my daughter to play with in her crib. She loves to kick at things so I thought this would be perfect. I usually like Chicco products but this one was not designed very well. The on/off and low/high switches are in the back and the toy ties onto crib. The buttons stagger from the bottom to the top making it a little difficult to find the right area to make music. But it's still fun for her to kick at.

Chicco Toys Sing Along Airplane
I bought this toy for my one year old twins. I'm hoping they will like it better as they get older. They don't seem to care for it much. It doesn't do a lot. It sings a little song for each place (Europe, Africa, Australia, etc), but that's about it. It has a short string on it to pull it along. The string is far too short. To get the songs to change, you have to push a big button on the top. It's hard for the kids to push the button. I wouldn't recommend a friend buy this toy. There are better options, like the VTech helicopter.Only plays about three different nursery rhymes. String is too short to pull, I understand its a safety issue, would like for them to consider a different option.

Lamaze Play and Grow Kerry the Fairy Take Along Toy
Our infant boys loved Kerry. The black and white background on the reverse side is perfect for the second and 3rd months. We clipped it onto the gymini and she was gleefully batted about. As they grew older they loved her purse which apparently is both intriguingly filled with rolly balls and delicious to teeth on. It easily snaps on to a carseat for a great car toy. We handed it down to their cousin this last May. And it is now a favorite of his too.I received this as a gift at my baby shower. This is my little one's first favorite toy! I hook it to her play gym and I've hooked it to her car seat when we took a long trip. It really kept her entertained! At first she loved to stare at it, now she's plays with it and chews on it some. I would definitely recommend this or any similar toy from Lamaze! The back of the wings are black and white, which is good for newer babies, but the patterns and colors on the rest fascinate her now as well. I think this toy will definitely grow with her.Buy Lamaze Play and Grow Kerry the Fairy Take Along Toy Now

It's so amazing when newborn babies start to interact with things! Both of my daughters began playing with Kerry the Fairy before they noticed any other toys. Something about this toy really attracted their attention.Kerry has high contrast colors, a rattle, and some crinkly fabric pieces. She also has a clip for hanging on a car seat or bassinet. Like most Lamaze toys, Kerry is much larger than hanging toys from other manufacturers.
We also have a Lamaze Mortimer the Moose, which is also great, but Kerry gets a little more attention.

Baby Ganz My First Teddy - Blue
Kidz Delight Smooth Touch MP3 Docking Set, White
We brought the kidz delight smooth touch MP3 for our grandson and he carrys it every day since Christmas and dances to the tones. He loves it! and we do to.I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 18-month-old granddaughter. She loved it as soon as she opened the box. It's been 6 months and she still loves it. In fact, she seems to have developed a different dance for each song. It is easy for her to hold and control and she has no trouble switching from song to song. These days, it seems like a miracle for a gift to have staying power in the life of a child -but this one does.Buy Kidz Delight Smooth Touch MP3 Docking Set, White Now

Step2 Push Around Buggy (Red)
I recently bought this car for my 8 month-old daughter and she absolutely LOVES it! She claps her hands and squeals up a storm as we "drive" down the street. The handle is perfect for my height and I love that it has a seatbelt in it. The "trunk" is handy for storage, (keys, wallet, burp cloth etc..) and my daughter even falls asleep in it. AMAZING! We usually take a 30 minute walk in the evening time and the minute I put her in the car to get ready to go, she is just overjoyed. This is one toy that we'll definitely get our moneys worth out of! (Already have, I think!) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!I did a lot of research on toddler push cars and decided to let the amazon reviews guide me on this purchase. I'm glad I did. The reviews are quite accurate. My 12 month old loves this car and so do the other neighborhood kids. All the little ones want their turn. I love the seat belt keeps him safe. The handle is great too. I'm tall (5' 8") and I worried that I would have to bend down to use the handle. Not at all it is the perfect height even for moms tall as me. So why 4 stars...I agree with others this little ride is quite loud on the sidewalk and driveway. In and of itself not so bad but we often find ourselves in a caravan or wagon train with lots of other moms and kids and I can't hear anybody when I'm pushing this car. I have to strain to hear, ask people to repeat themselves and finally I just stop so that I can hear. Not a reason not to buy the car...just know this going in and you can make the best of an overall awesome little ride.Buy Step2 Push Around Buggy (Red) Now
If you are looking for fun, the buggy is the way to go. I bought this in April 2002 for my son and I have been using all the time! I would have to say he prefers this to his stroller, I think he likes that he is more out in the open...plus he loves to steer and beep his horn.From a parents view I have to say I am in love with it. It was so wasy to put together, I just slid the handle in and we were off. The trunk compartment is great for holding keys, toys and juice cups. My husband and I are both short and the push handle is the perfect height for us. Every time I take Jaden somewhere I get a comment on it. The plastic wheels can be a bit noisy, but that is a small price to pay for such a cool toy.
I am not going to get rid of stroller though, you can't recline like you would in a stroller and I don't think a child could comfortably rest in the buggy. But if you are out cruising the neighborhood or playgrounds, this is the toy to have!I just got this for my 10 month old son and he LOVES it! His grandparents have a pedal fire engine already waiting for when he is older so I was not concerned with this car's lack of a pedaling option. I think that this is perfect for my son's age considering that it has a seat belt and foot rests. He loves the trunk compartment in the front to play with when he is not riding. The push handle is wonderful for his grandparent's to use when he is at their house and it comes off easily for putting the car in my trunk. Also, so far it is not noisy like some other reviewers have stated.

Gund Grover Large 20 inches
My daughter and her husband both loved their stuffed Grovers when they were little back in the '70's. They asked me to find one that looked like theirs for their 1 year old son for Xmas. This is made by Gund, and is available for $40 and under (I bought it on Amazon for less than that). It is much like the one my daughter had 30 years ago, but actually can sit, and has a mouth that opens. My grandson loves it. If your kids loved Grover, buy this for their kids!Why is this advertised as a 20 inch Grover? The product dimensions do not say this is 20 inches. The product dimensions say this is 16.5 inches.Buy Gund Grover Large 20 inches Now
The Grover is really soft, and a good size. I saw cheaper ones out there, but glad i picked the gund. The product came exactly as described. I would buy from the seller again.All Sesame street characters are Elmo at our house. Blue Elmo, red Elmo, pink Elmo. Perfect toddler size...he sits up on little chairs for tea parties, fits in the crook of an elbow and is loved everyday. He cleaned up nicely after she gave him a drink of milk.He has been well loved by a preschooler. He is soft, but sturdy. I am very glad that I bought Grover.Friday, January 17, 2014
Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes
I just bought this to take over for our soon-to-be adopted infant. I was very happy with the small size and weight (perfect for an infant to hold). But most of all, the sound quality is fantastic (and not too loud) and not electronic sounding at all. And the tunes are all pleasing to the ear and not annoying kid versions. I will like listening to it as much as our son!I love this toy and will give it to every new parent that I know! This is the only toy with sound that we own that does not have clear packing tape on the speaker! (Every other toy gets the "tape treatment" once it enters the house!) Music quality is great and the songs play for longer than most toys, so you don't have to reach over and hit the button as often!Buy Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Now
My Daughter picked this toy out @ Wal-Mart, among a few other toys herself!! When I originally bought it, she was only 3 months old!!!!We moved the end of October and lost it in the move. I ordered it online and when it arrived, her eyes lit up and she fell in love with it all over again!!! It calms her down peacefully. I strongly recomend this for every parent out there.
Read Best Reviews of Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Here
I have a 10 month old daughter, and she has fallen in love with this toy. I bought this because of its portability and size, but the small package has delivered so much more.The sound from the single speaker on the back of the 'Takealong Tunes' is extremely solid for such a small speaker, not tinny or hollow what so ever. The lights move in time to the music, and the whole thing is light enough for her to easily carry in one hand while she crawls around the house.
The large button-like wheel on the front is extremely easy for her to push, with just enough resistance that it isn't going off incessantly, and the colorful caterpillar handle is a natural draw to her mouth. The only minor complaint I would have is that I wish the handle were rubberized instead of hard plastic since it is in her mouth so often.
I thought I was buying a good sound & lights toy for the portability since it is not always easy to drag larger flashing, blinking, booping toys around with us, but I feel like I've gotten so much more out of this potent little package.
It sooths her when she's tired, entertains her when she's awake, and has become her best friend over the past month or so.
I would highly recommend this to any parent, another winner from Baby Einstein!
Want Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Discount?
At first sight, you will be very happy with this toy. However, after I've owned this toy (for my infant son), it's somewhat a hassle at times.Pros:
-Lights go off that are extremely appealing to a baby
-Music is also quite appealing to a baby, and has 2 different volume settings as well as an off feature
-Easy to grab and go when you're on the move
Cons:
-The buttons you press to activate the music & lights are WAY too hard for ANY infant you have to do this yourself for your baby
-Hard plastic so you have to watch your baby to make sure they don't slam this into their heads and get hurt
-The hard plastic is at times too hard for your baby to chew on for teething relief
-Batteries seem to die down a little quicker than desired
-After only 4 months, the 4 colored areas you press to activate the music/lights are starting to fade, so now white areas are starting to show through
Overall, I would suggest this, but only after you read the pros & the cons. My son got this at aged 4 months, and at now 7 months
he still loves it, but there again, to turn this on in any way, I have to do it myself. When you press the button to turn on the music/lights,
the songs only play for about 15-20 seconds so this is not a toy to give your infant if you're attempting to work & focus on anything.
I hope this helps you if you're wanting to purchase this.

Tolo Toys First Friends Train Set
After my son fell in love with Tolo's shape sorter, we knew we had to try more of their fantastic toys! My mother bought this as a Christmas present for my 22 month old son and he adores it. He can turn it on himself, create his own tracks by snapping them together, and the volume isn't too loud. We can't wait to add more to our set, including all of the adorable dinosaurs!Tolo's toys are well-made and perfect for his level. This train set is an absolute hit!My daughter received this train set for Christmas when she was 9 mos old, and enjoyed the lights, sounds, bright colors, and movement but I had to do all the putting together, making it start, etc. Now, she is 2 and this is her absolute favorite toy. She can snap the pieces of track together in lots of configurations and push the button to make it start. We are trying to buy more track pieces to go with it, but so far I can only find full train sets with another train or the points set which only has a few extra pieces of track in it. The manufacturer DOES make just a box of track, (Check out their website) but it is only for sale in New Zealand and none of the online toy stores will ship outside of NZ at this time. Overall, it's been a great toy, but I just wish Tolo would sell the extra boxes of track in the U.S. so she can expand her set!!

I usually find Tolo toys to be high quality and was therefore willing to pay the extra money for this train meant as a gift for my 18-month-old son. On Christmas morning my son was excited to find the train running around the tree. My son loved the train and I was impressed with the way it held up when he pushed it along and played with it ... That was until day 3 of play! Two of the wheels bent and the train no longer runs straight or smooth (even after being bent back into place). I am very disappointed and no longer believe this train was worth the money. I should have bought a $20 Fisher Price toy.Read Best Reviews of Tolo Toys First Friends Train Set Here
My two-year-old grandson was overwhelmed by this train. He especially liked the fact that it could be assembled and engineered by himself.Any young person under three would be happy with this toy.

I had to add my honest review to this toy, as I hate seeing an average rating that is not a fair reflection of a product.This toy was a huge hit with my son for his second Christmas, and he still loves it and plays with it three years later. His brother is now on the way and I look forward to seeing them play with it together and possibly adding to the tracks.
You won't regret this purchase. It has been the envy of many of my son's friends (and if they're honest their parents too!)

Little Tikes Softie Blocks - assorted colors, one size
I never realized on the description it saying anything about the soft blocks having the crinkle material on them. These blocks have various textures that make them unlike most other soft blocks. Parts of them are cloth, silky, felt, and of course material with the crinkle behind it. I feel much better having my daughter play with these versus rigid wooden blocks as she is still a little prone to falling over and such grabbing toys.my son loves to chew on them, but his hands are still a little too small to really grasp them.Buy Little Tikes Softie Blocks - assorted colors, one size Now

Kids Animated Optimus Prime Costume
My son loved it. It arrived before Halloween. We got the 4-6 size and it JUST fit him. He's a skinny 5 yr old. I liked that it was comfortable. We put thermals on underneath and he wore it for 3 days straight. I cannot believe the mask is still intact, but it is! It's just made out of plastic, but it's better than the flimsy ones we had as kids. :)My son wore this costume for Halloween and still plays in it mostly without the mask because it is not the most comfortable, but he can see out of it which was important to me. It is thin but sturdy. Yeah there are cooler ones out there, but I paid less than $10 for it....Buy Kids Animated Optimus Prime Costume Now

Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway - Talking Railway Morgan's Mine
This is an adorable addition to the talking railway system. The trains go down from the upper level, through the mine, & out on the lower level through the "waterfall". However, you need enough tracks for both levels because it has tracks on two levels. For the top one, you will need a sloped piece, like a slide, to send the trains down the other side (not the one through the mine). But none of the extra tracks kits I have contained this sloped piece. You can use the set without utilizing this part of the upper level, but it's not as much fun.You must purchase trains that have gold lettering or circular metal tabs on the bottom to hear all the phrases available.Buy Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway - Talking Railway Morgan's Mine Now
