Bunnies by the Bay Lulla Bunny Bye Binkie Blanket

Bunnies by the Bay Lulla Bunny Bye Binkie Blanket, PinkPlease be aware that this website company "Black Sheep Deals" is charging unbeleivable prices on some of our Bunnies By The Bay items. This Skipit Lulla puppy bye binkie is really $19.95, NOT $83.

My daughter is 2 now and received this blanket when she was 2 months old. She will not go anywhere without it now. We recently lost hers and had to purchase two so we always have a spare. A must for all little girls!!

Great soft material for little children.

As a baby the size is perfect as blanket & when kid grows up it's easy to carry out everywhere. And as it's quite big, you note it if you loose it on the way.

BUT, although the quality of the material is OK, the seam is very poor. There is too little material on the edges to be sewed properly & within few days the seam just breaks.

So be prepared to spend a few hours fixing the blanket wihtin less than 2 wweks after yur bought it.

I leave in France & this blanket can't be found on Amazon european website, otherwise I would have retunr the 2 items I bought for exchange.

Manhattan Toy Beads Wood Rattle

Manhattan Toy Beads Wood Rattle, SwirlMy 5 month old received this toy for Christmas from a dear friend. The quality is excellent and we couldn't help but pass it around...it's a great fidget toy for toddlers too. Compared to the Haba version, this one has more colors and more spheres than the competition. This could be a downside if you have a little one who isn't fully sitting up to play, as it is heavy for a baby to hold above their face as they lie on their back. Overall a stimulating and educational toy for all ages and definitely one to pass down.

I have not seen a child play with these, though wow, they feel great and look great, so I think kids would love them. But I'm a grown up with rheumatoid arthritis that includes my hands, and I love them for hand therapy.

I've used quite a few wooden toys for therapy with my hands. I'll bet they would cost 5 to 10 times as much if sold for therapy, and wouldn't be painted those great colors! The colors have helped get me to use them, and they have done me a whole lot of good.

These wooden toys are so well-made that I still have all the many I've bought, ready for action. For the last 3 1/2 years I've been combing a Standard Poodle daily, and that has turned out to be great therapy for my hands. So the wooden toys have been standing by, looking good and ready for action when needed.

This is a quiet toy, beautiful and well made, and the balls are just right for my hand needs. I certainly recommend it!

Buy Manhattan Toy Beads Wood Rattle Now

Our son has been interested in balls since he was just a couple of months old, so when I saw this toy I thought it would be the perfect clutching toy for him. We have the classic ball rattle. It is very well-made, wooden with very bright, pretty colors and it can be manipulated and balls will clack against each other. I had high hopes for this becoming a popular toy with my son, but over the months as he got older he didn't express much interest in it. He would pick it up every so often and hold it for about 10 seconds and then drop it. He is 17 months now and he will pick up the toy sometimes and say "ball" and try to pull them apart. It seems he would like them to be separated, probably so he can throw them and play with them like a regular ball, though we have plenty of those around the house. So all in all, for us this toy didn't really work out, though I don't know that is was necessarily because of a bad design, just our son's personal preference.

My 6 month old daughter immediately loved this toy, but I am returning it because the paint started chipping (big chunks) as soon as I received it. I checked the company's website, and although the paint is supposed to be non-toxic, I still don't want my baby eating/licking paint, non-toxic or not. Plus, this toy wasn't cheap. Sadly, I have decided to return it and not get another one.

Want Manhattan Toy Beads Wood Rattle Discount?

My 8 month old daughter has enjoyed many Manhattan Toys, but I am shocked that this rattle is considered appropriate for any teething baby. The paint chipped off and my daughter left teeth marks on it. I washed the toy (by hand like I do anything that goes in her mouth) and that led to the wood cracking and further paint peeling. I threw it away minutes after I received the toy. I had bought it because she enjoyed a different wood rattle where the wood was colored with organic dyes. That is the way to go with a wood rattle.

Sevi Push Along Toy

Sevi Push Along Toy, ClownIt remains to be seen how well the duck works to entertain the recipient. Despite the price it may have been a good buy.

We bought this for my son when he was a little over a year-old. He is now 2 and still loves it. The duck's feet slap along nicely and aren't too loud. It is quite durable-I have accidently stepped on the dowel portion and it did not break. My son loved it so much that we bought the same thing for our nephew when he turned one!!

I bought this for my son for Christmas. He was just walking at that point, and so I didn't expect him to be very excited about it; I figured that would come in a few months. Unfortunately, he never really "took" to this toy. It's cute. He'll push it around a little, but in general, it sits in a corner of his room. I would highly recommend the toy for the quality of its craftsmanship and the ease of use, though. My child never really was interested in "pushing" the dragon, either; he would generally drag it along behind him.

Kids Preferred Peter Rabbit Bean Bag Plush Toy

Kids Preferred Peter Rabbit Bean Bag Plush ToyThe 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.

I read later "colors may vary" but this isn't colors varying this is the whole costume the duck is in. The ducks themselves are nice but should be clearer in the description.

Chicco Musical Roller

Chicco Musical RollerThis is a fun toy for any baby; they seem drawn to the colors, rattling balls inside, and music (although an adult's help is required to push the button until the child is older).

Since it's inflatable, it's great for travel, too.

For kids with special needs (including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, hypotonia, limb-kinetic apraxia, dyspraxia, and other muscle and movement disorders), this is a GREAT therapeutic toy! Ask your physical therapist: there are dozens of ways that a child can play with a roller to strengthen their trunk muscles. It's also particularly nice for kids with cerebral palsy whose legs "scissor," since it will keep the child's legs apart when sitting straddling the roller. Because it's inflatable, it's a great way to continue your home therapy program while away from home.

Therapeutic play suggestions:

Have your child lay over the roller to play with a puzzle or activity center on the floor in front of him.

Have your child sit straddling the roller to play a game. For example, place a puzzle base on the couch, with the child straddling the roller facing the puzzle base. Sit behind your child and hold the puzzle pieces so that he has to reach up and behind him to reach the piece, then switch sides for the next piece.

My son loves this toy. He likes to roll it back and forth then look at the balls inside through one of the two windows. He also gets a good laugh when we play peek a boo through the two windows. The balls inside jingle enough to get his attention but not so loud that they would be annoying.And there is a little music button but it is hard to push and he is more interested in the balls inside anyways.

A friend of ours bought this for our son who is eight months old now. I just ordered our third one. He LOVES to crawl after it and play with it. It truly is one of his favorite toys. However, if you are too rough (which doesn't take much) with them, they seem to start loosing air. So, it is definitely a winner for my son, but loser because it seems to break easily.

K's Kids Hungry Pelican in Bath

K's Kids Hungry Pelican in BathThis is a really cute bath toy which my 1 1/2 year old daughter loves. However, I'm not as crazy about it as she is. It is much smaller than it looks. The little sea creatures are about an inch long, and my daughter thinks it's so funny to "eat" them, just like the pelican does. They fit entirely in her mouth which is scary. The pelican fills with water in every crack and crevace, and takes forever to drain out. All the water in it makes it really heavy. Too heavy for her to handle. Also, the "rear" of the bird has a hole that lets the sea creatures fall out as soon as she (finally) gets them in the mouth. Very discouraging. I have taken the pelican out of the tub and put it away since she doesn't even play with it. I have to watch her like a hawk with the little critters. There is a K's Kids Pelican that is not a bath toy that is the same thing only LARGER and plush. I have this and I think it is a much better toy, and is almost the exact same thing. Get the plush one.

My 8mo old son absolutely loves this toy! He got it for Christmas when he was 6mo and always wants to play with it over his other bath toys. The only problem is it's way too heavy for him to hold still. He likes chewing/kissing the pelican mouth and the little toy fish/crab/shrimp/octupus are perfect for his teeny hands. Best bath toy we have!

Buy K's Kids Hungry Pelican in Bath Now

When we squeeze the handle, the birds mouth closes instead of opens, and when we let go of the button the mouth just half hangs open. so in order for the pelican to fit any of the little guys in his mouth, we basically have to trap them against the edge of the tub with his mouth and shove them in. They also fall out the bottom the very second they are eaten. My kids don't play with this at all, once they discovered the pelicans mouth doesnt open enough to easily eat the toys. I love the colors and think it looks very cute, but it's useless.

Sesame Street Super Grover 2.0 Infant / Toddler Costume

Grover 2.0 Kids Costume - 12-18 monthsI am very disappointed in this product. Although it does look just as the picture it runs EXTREMELY small. No sizing charts were available upon ordering. My son is a small 2T so that is what I ordered but needless to say not only is it WAYYY to short in the legs it is also very snug. My son says the costume HURTS! The return policy makes it kind of difficult and expensive at this point to exchange or return it. The seller did get us our product fast though so they gets points for that. I just wish there was something to that I could do now as my son is upset about his costume. And its not like they are cheap!!!!

this costume fits really well and every small child loves sesame street so who wouldn't want to be super grover

Buy Sesame Street Super Grover 2.0 Infant / Toddler Costume Now

Adorable costume. My kid loves it, he does not want to take it off. Very comfortable, very good quality. Highly recommend. True to size (my son is 5 yo). It will fit 4 and 6 yo as well.

Read Best Reviews of Sesame Street Super Grover 2.0 Infant / Toddler Costume Here

I ordered this costume in size 2T for my 2-year old and it was ridiculously small on him his legs were sticking out and it was too tight in the crotch area. I should mention that my son is no giant, he was only 26 months on Halloween, he's skinny only 25th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. There is no was size 2T will fit an average 2-year old child.

Annoying thing is that this costume does not qualify for free shipping, so I ended up paying additional $8 for shipping (way overpriced). Another problem was return/exchange it cannot be done through Amazon, I had to deal with Costume SuperCenter. And since I didn't buy the costume directly with them, I didn't qualify for their free exchange program. Needless to say I had to pay to ship the small costume back to them, and then I had to pay the overpriced shipping of $8 yet again when I ordered a size larger (this time from their website).

Costume SuperCenter did, eventually (after almost 1 month) refund me the money I paid for the first costume, but I lost over $20 on shipping charges. Way too much money.

And FYI, the next size up is not 3T, but size 3T/4T, which is huge for a change. So I had to hand-stitch the sleeves and pants, both were too long. But I guess it's better than short...

All in all, the costume is cute, especially the head piece (the outfit itself looks a little cheap though). But definitely not worth the hassle of returning/exchanging, hand-stitching and paying close to $50 overall.

Uglydoll Classic Plush Doll

Uglydoll Classic Plush Doll, Fea Bea BlueI received OX as a Christmas gift and have since fallen in love with this series of stuffed companions. The material is very soft and not at all ugly, despite the makers' statement that these dolls are made from the "ugliest materials" they could find. In addition to being soft, OX is adorable, especially his dossier. He truly has taken over all of my possessions. But he is good at sharing so I am not complaining. And he does give many hugs with his ears, since his arms are a bit too short. Earhugs are definitely fun.

OX comes with a small card describing him in detail. For those who decide they like Uglydolls, I recommend a visit to the official website for a peek at their T-shirts and the 7 inch dolls. The smaller versions are different colors than the larger ones.

I truly love this set of stuffed friends. The material Icebat is made from is very soft and not at all ugly, despite the makers' statement that these dolls are made from the "ugliest materials" they could find.

Icebat is fitting in nicely with OX, Cinko, and Uglydog, and with the bat fairies, Brandtii and Oreo, who sometimes visit me. He comes with a small card describing him in detail.

Now please understand that my kid doesn't ask for anything..until Ice Bat. Ice Bat sleeps in his bed every night and when he's sick this flat bat has to snuggle down with him. He adores it.

I gave three stars for educational value because our son now reads his "Ugly Guide To The Uglyverse" book to find out more about OX. The fabric is real soft and snuggly, even a bit ugly colored to stay true to theme.

Neat & Tidy Cottage

Neat & Tidy CottageI have two daughters, ages 2 and 4 and they love playing house, having tea party's with the table and two seats included in the cottage, and talking on the phone (also included). Love how this playhouse has a floor. Easy to assemble (recommend an electric drill). You definitely can't beat the price. It is smaller than the other playhouses and would be difficult for an adult to sit in there. But the large windows make peaking in a breeze.

This house has all the features of the more expensive houses, for a better price. It was easy to put together (although the faucet doesn't connect to the sink as well as I'd like it to). The floor is wonderful, and after it rains or we hose it down, it drains very well-the only place any water collects is the sink and one of the seats. Don't leave the cordless phone in the house if it's outside though, ours got waterlogged and wouldn't stop ringing, I had to pull the batteries out and let it dry out again. The house isn't too big, no more than 2 kids can play very comfortably, but that wasn't a big deal for us. My son has been playing in it since he could cruise around, loves opening the door and shutters.

Our 18 month old daughter, Madilyn, absolutley adores her new house (BIG THANKS to Lolo and Lola who sent the $$$). My husband, his friend, and I put the house together in 30 minutes. We put it out in the backyard. It doesn't take up that much room at all (So if you have a small yard, this is perfect). She loves ringing the doorbell and going in and out (and in and out again). She likes to open and close the shutters to play peek-a-boo. She also loves the cordless phone that came with it...it looks like our real phone. She says, "Hel-lo" and hands it to me. The floor is very sturdy (I crawled in and sat in there with her). We live in an area that has A LOT of pollen. Yesterday we noticed that there was a layer of it on the floor. We just took the water hose and hosed it down. The drainage holes work great! She couldn't wait until it dried, so needless to say she came out with wet shorts. She fits perfect on the molded-in seats. If you have a larger toddler, it may pose a problem. There may not be enough space between your child and the table. She also loves to stick things through the mailbox. All-in-all this is an AWESOME buy. It keeps our daughter entertained for hours. We also bought the Step2 Water and Sand Table and the Step2 Big Folding Slide. Between all that, her two ride-on toys, and her sandbox, the backyard looks like a fun park! P.S. Be sure to have someone push against the table while you screw it in...the screw might not go in at all.

My daughter got this when she was three yrs old. She's 5 and half now and still has a ball playing in it with her girlfriends. They play house and sit at the table and eat lunch or play with Play Doh and just generally have a great time with it. We've had it over 2 yrs and it's holding up beautifully. We love the fact that we can see in and watch what the kids are doing and that it has a floor. I'd buy one again if I ever had a need for another playhouse.

We bought this house for our son's first birthday and he's having a blast exploring every inch of it. He loves to "talk" on the phone, open and close the shutters, and press the button on the faucet. It's keeping him very busy, and because it has a floor we've decided to keep it inside for now. That square patch of carpet won't get worn out from him constantly walking around in it.

The house was easy to put together. My husband had it set up in less than 30 minutes. As for the quality, I'd say it's excellent. I don't think a house like this was meant for big kids to play in, so it probably wouldn't hold up if your child is too old or heavy for their age. But it should be just fine for the average sized 1-4 year old, even a smaller 5 year old. Overall we're very happy with this purchase.

Thankfully, we were able to find his twin on Amazon! He knows it is not the same one, but when I talked to him about getting a new "Baby Bear," as we call him, he said he wanted one the same size because he fit in his arms just right.

Scribbler Baby Boy

Scribbler Baby BoyI chose this product because my daughter was 19 months old, and it was marketed as age-appropriate. Comparable products were labeled for ages 3 and over due to the choking hazard of small parts.

The doodle board works fine, although that piece itself is probably the flimsiest-feeling part of the product. The 3 magnets provided to draw with are made large enough to be grabbed by toddlers who haven't mastered fine motor skills yet. That part of the design seems reasonable.

Where I was disappointed was that the 3 wells which seat the drawing implements require significant pushing or pulling force in order to securely put them in or remove them for drawing. The difficulty of this is a deterrent for my daughter in interacting with the toy, unless I am pulling or pushing them for her. Even if she had more strength, the tightness with which the drawing implements fit means that you must have the judgment and motor skills to firmly grasp the frame of the drawing pad in an optimal position to apply enough counter-force to pry them out of their seated positions. She's not there and I'm not sure how soon she would be.

I can see where this might be considered an advantage in that once the drawing implements are snapped in, they're not coming out easily and so are less likely to be lost. But it makes it hard for the child to just pick up the toy and successfully play with it, so I think it's more of a design flaw than a feature.

I got this for my 1 year old to help his dexterity and he loves scribbling on it. And when we have older kids over they like it to. Obviously a 1 year is rough on stuff and this thing can take it.

As a caveat, I will first say we've only had this toy for an hour. But in the last hour, my (3 yr old) daughter's been more captivated with this toy than she was with any of her other Christmas gifts.

It's a higher-grade than the typical write-n-wipe boards. There's an automated component to the the wipe-off part. And the different writing utensils (one being a dinosaur footprint) really caters to the imagination. I'm even enticed to play with my daughter!

I'll come back and edit this once we get some hours in it to comment on wear/tear, but as a creative toy that captures the imagination and holds it for a nice long play time I'm really loving this so far.

Sesame Street (2011) Bath Book Series

Sesame Street Bath Book SeriesMy son is 10 months old and he received these when he was 7 months old. He likes them more now of course and he even picks them up and babbles like hes reading the words. We read to our son sometimes but not as often as we hoped but these books give him a chance to read to us and not destroy them. They are very durable great for travel and if they enjoy it even in the tub because they are water proof. He has chewed on them a bit but they didn't show any signs of wear the books are cute and a few pages each he loves the color book the most. We don't just buy one brand we have the sassy bath books too and he likes those also but these have more words and stuff going on in the pictures thats why he likes them more. :) recommend these for any parent.

Tiny Love Soothe 'n Groove Mobile

Tiny Love Soothe 'n Groove Mobile, BlueMobiles are a must have product for babies. This mobile has met all my expectations.

Pros:

1. This is a major plus The mobile is universal. You can place it in any crib style. I bought a very expensive crib with lots of intricate wood details and found that it was hard to put one of those mobiles they sell with matching bedding sets. I also use it in my cradle. Very versatile.

2. Animals are big enough for baby to pay attention. The Elephant, Giraffe and Monkey are attached to two strings and they move their heads down and up to face baby as they approach the baby while going down.

3. Lots of music and lasts longer than most. White noise did help calm crying baby.

4. Can be adjusted to different heights by adjusting the music box. This is a great feature for when baby can reach up to grab the mobile.

5. Sound level can be adjusted.

6. Night light is awesome. By the way you can turn it off, it it bothers you. There are two on features. One with night light the other one without it.

8. Baby can press on buttons to change music.

Cons:

I really don't care about this one, but it does make a clacking noise. It doesn't bother my girl. I did figure out why it does this. The blue disks that hold the animals shake when the animals turn. The disk has to be able to slightly turn in order to allow animals to twirl around and have heads smile at baby as it starts going down.

Overall, I love the mobile. It has given me some sanity by entertaining my baby girl. Best of all she loves it. She even talks to the animals.

This mobile is mostly excellent great quality speakers and the animals are fun for my baby to watch. The light is bright enough to see what's going on but not too bright to turn on at night. The selection of music is fun and varied and the heartbeat sound is so soothing to my baby. Why not 5 stars, you ask? There's one major problem. While you can choose a category (such as classical or white noise) of music to play for 40 minutes, the sound changes within that category. For example, the hearbeat sound puts my baby right to sleep but I can't just play the heartbeat. After a minute or two it changes to the stream and then the animals sounds or whatever other white noise sounds there are. As soon as it switches from hearbeat to stream my little guy wakes up. I'm so bummed because I LOVE everything else about this amazing mobile. What a shame.

After looking for not only a cute mobile, but also one that would do a good job, I selected this one and could not be happier. It is for my newborn sister. First off, it is very pretty. It was fairly easy to install, and does not seem to move or to be at risk of falling. The selection of music, and the lenght are great. There is enough choice to please any baby's tastes. The lights are really dimmed and peaceful. The toys make a light noise when they rotate (which based on other reviews was my only concern when I purchased it), but it is almost nothing, and it is certainly not an issue for baby to fall sleep or rest in his/her crib ! I am sure this will grow to be excellent entertainement for my baby sister when she can move better and be more aware of her surroundings. Mommy and daddy love this mobile too. I was hoping to find a mobile with remote control, but since I could not have it all, I settled for one without...and came to realize that the remote would be pretty useless at this point (and since one piece of music last 40 mins, it gives baby plenty of time to fall asleep!). So far, I cannot mention one thing I dislike. Honnestly, I am very picky, which is why I looked and looked, the price seems fair, and I do not regret this purchase at all.

Overall, its a wonderful mobile. only complaint I would have about it, is while the little animals are twirling around..it tends to make a clacking noise. While my baby is falling asleep, it scares him sometimes

This was the second mobile that we purchased first one was visually stimulated but no movement or sound, so we purchased this one. Our son loves this one. And the music is fine for both playtime in the nursery and baby falling asleep. Only complaint is that it makes a soft "cranking" noise when it moves. Not a deal breaker, but wish the mechanics were silent (why I gave 4-stars). Overall, very pleased with purchase and would recommend especially compared to others available.

Dr. Seuss Horton Blankie

Dr. Seuss Horton BlankieEvery parent knows that you can't pick your child's favorite toy. They will pick their "lovey", "wubbie", "blankie" or whatever on their own time. With that being said, this toy has many of the things that little ones love. It has silky ears, velvet-y soft fur and little ribbons on head and tail. Plus the ears and trunk have padding which makes them very grab-able by little hands. My 7 month old took to this toy right away and now sleeps holding on to it every night. I feel comfortable letting him have it in his crib because even if he did wrap it around his head he would still be able to breath. I've washed it several times now and the fur is still just as soft and fuzzy as it was when it arrived.

My grandson got this as a gift before he was born. Since day 1, he has had it in his hands whether taking a nap, in the stroller, or just playing around it's ALWAYS with him. He's 18 months old now, and still loves it. Had to get a second one, just in case he lost it! Who knew???

I got this as a shower gift for a dear friend, who loves Dr. Seuss. She was so happy when she opened it. She had to take it out of the plastic wrap immediately and put it on her belly. I was thinking it looked a little small, not that it needs to be too much bigger, but I think a little larger would be a better fit for most babies. Overall a great product and I would recommend it to anyone who is choosing a Dr. Seuss theme for their baby's gifts/room etc.

This is really really cute, but really really tiny. I am not even sure what to do with it. It is barely big enough for decoration. But, even for its size I love it. :) I am a sucker for really cute things.

Edushape Small Sensory Balls

Edushape Small Sensory BallsI was folding laundry a few weeks back while sitting on the floor in the nursery with my then 6 month old. A dryer ball rolled out of the clothing and was quickly procured by baby. He was so enthralled with the dryer balls that I got online to find a similar baby toy and voila, the Edushape small sensory balls! My son loves to play with these bright, knobby balls. The textures are fun (all 4 balls are the same) and the colors delightful. I would say that 'small' is relative and these are actually larger than I expected. These are actually bigger than the light blue 'dryer balls' that you use with the laundry. I don't find that the size is a negative, but I do want baby to have different sizes to play with. I'm super happy with the Edushape balls and I would buy them again and certainly recommend them to you!

These toys are colorful and fun, but they would be so much better if there was a little variety of texture/size/weight/SOMETHING. My babies like them, but they're essentially 4 of the exact same thing.

We have a great time playing with these balls since by baby was 4 months old. The little nubs are perfect for grasping and the balls are a little deflated which helps too! Fun product!

My grand-daughters (under 1) were both very drawn to the balls due to the bright colors and the intriguing texture. They both enjoyed exploring the balls with their hands and mouth.
