Very soft, looks just like Apollo from the Pajanimals show. He's a little bit weighted in the butt and the heft gives him a higher quality feel. My son and daughter both love him.

Wonderworld Elephant Pounding Ball

Wonderworld Elephant Pounding BallI purchased this for my 19 month old. You really need to hit the balls hard to get them in, and then you physically have to swing open the trunk to release them. From the pictures, I thought when the balls dropped in, they would roll down and swing open the trunk showing "cause and effect". I think by the time she can hit them hard enough to get them to drop, this toy will not hold her attention, if the balls rolled out, it might. Good construction, cute. Wish I loved it

Tolo Toys Classic Drum

Tolo Toys Classic DrumMy baby loves this drum. Her hippie aunt into drum circles picked this out for her a couple of months ago for her first birthday and it has been a hit ever since! The top and bottom pieces of the drum can be taken apart and used separately so sometimes we drum along together. She loves to take one of the drums into her baby armchair and drum away. I think it's gotten her even more into music and beats. It's been tossed around too and it's holding up really well so I'm happy about the quality.

I think there are other drums out there that are more engaging and more likely to entice your child to play with it. I was disappointed in the sound it produces too.

Mary Meyer Lobbie Lobster, 10"

Mary Meyer Lobbie Lobster, 10'This toy is for dogs and I didn't want one from China and the way the add appeared it seemed that it was made in America, WRONG! it's made in "China" I was very disappointed. Most toys from china are not safe from toxic chemicals. Don't know if this toy is safe for my dog or not. On the safe side I'm throwing it away.

BRIO Short Curved Track

BRIO Short Curved TrackThese short curves are really a nice addition to your wooden railway system as they make it possible to create small and sharper turns than you can do with the normal curved track (33342). The downside of this track is that it may be a bit difficult for longer engines (like the mighty red battery-powered engine) to drive through the curves. However, if the tracks are laid without too many "bumps" at the connecting points the larger engines will manage to drive through it as well.

BRIO is the most durable and has the best quality wooden train on the market. These are a must have for extending and building. My son loves having these shorter curved pieces. We have 3 sets and are considering buying a fourth set; that's how much he uses them when building. A great piece to have.

Again, a good product, but over priced. I would try to find some gently used ones.

These track pieces only add to the fun of the brio train tracks. They allow for you to fill in tight spots, make tighter curves and increase the changes you can make to your train set up.

They are well made and sturdy. They have lived up to the effort of three kids playing, putting them together, stepping on them, and so on.

They are lots of fun. Enjoy.

Laser Pegs - Dragon - 57 in 1 EXCLUSIVE

Laser Pegs - Dragon - 57 in 1 EXCLUSIVEGreat idea. Looks awesome on the box. Instructions for dragon very vague in spots and very flimsy. Does not stay together long enough to finish the build. Have tried twice now with no success. We are lego fanatics and had many hard builds. This still sitting in box waiting to become a dragon. No adapter and only dragon instructions included. Not worth the price

9.5" Musical Sleeping Pink Bear

9.5' Musical Sleeping Pink BearI got this for my niece and apparently she just loved it. She took it everywhere with her, rain or shine and through all the fun a toddler has she's managed not to destroy it yet. It's very soft, a bit tricky to wash because of the music player, but apparently durable.

Jack The Monkey Tin Jack In The Box

Jack The Monkey Tin Jack In The BoxA cute little monkey instead of a clown. I chose this one because it has the tradional song. This is not as sturdy as the ones my kids had back in the late 60s and early 70s, but I suppose that is the way most things are today. A fun toy to hold and play for a 10 month old. I am not sure how long it will last once she begins to really use it, but we are having many laughs with it now.

My little girl loves this, but the first one I got was broken. It looked like it had been dropped or something and the latch wouldn't release to have the monkey pop out. I contacted the company and they sent me another one which works perfectly but I can't help but wonder if this one will break down fast with normal toddler play. She loves it so much that I hope it will last a while.

I was very disappointed when the toy arrived. It was packaged like all other products I have ordered in the past. The jack in the box was broken. The box it was shipped in was not damaged nor was the toy dented, dinged, or otherwise appear broken. The box did not play music nor did the monkey jump out. It appears the product was defective or broken before it was shipped. I am very disappointed. I returned and got the sock monkey. My seven month old loves it. He will sit and watch it for hours.

I like it, it is cute not sure how it will hold up not as sturdy as the old ones when I was a child but nice be careful infant doesn't catch hands pushing it closed. All in all very pleased.

Lots of fun for my 18 month old. If I start to turn the crank, it keeps his attention and always manages to surprise him when the monkey pops outwhich brings a smile. The only drawback is that he hasn't really figured out how to do it himself. I have to turn the crank, and then carefully put the monkey back in so that it pops up okay. Extremely cute, though. And I'm sure as he gets older he'll be able to play with it himself.

Bright Starts Clack and Slide Activity Ball

Bright Starts Clack and Slide Activity BallPros:

My 9-month-old still plays with it at least briefly every day.

He loves the spinning ball at one end.

A good variety of shapes to spin and chew on.

Cons:

The ribbed rings are not in contrasting colors, as pictured.

The paint on the caterpillar's body has begun to chip/scrape off.

My baby has never been able to make the squeaker at one end squeak, and doesn't seem amused by the squeaky sound that it makes. (He loves every other squeaker out there.)

He's never seemed overly interested in this toy.

Update: At 10 months, my baby is not interested in this toy any longer.

Love this toy. My 6 month old daughter will play with this while she is laying down, sitting up, or in her chair. It is easy for her to grab & swing around, the colors are very vibrant to attract her interest, & there is plenty to do & enough different sounds that happen (when is playing with it) to make her want to keep checking it out. Very impressed. :)

My son LOVES to slide things and spin them so I thought he would LOVE this ball. I purchased it to put in his Easter basket when he was 12 months old. I honestly think that I missed the optimal window for this. He plays with it occasionally but doesn't love it like I thought he would.

My recommendation is to purchase this for a younger baby...they will LOVE it! It does have a lot to do and is very durable.

Great toy, my baby loved it from the first sign. It is great for development, chewing, playing, he caries it everywhere with him.

Want Bright Starts Clack and Slide Activity Ball Discount?

I was looking for a toy that is not a teether, a rattle or a teddy bear, that my 3-month old baby girl would be able to use on her own at her young age. After looking around I decided to give this activity ball a try. Well, I was so right to do so! She immediately started grasping, shaking and putting this toy in her mouth, and a few days later she started pushing the frog up and down and trying to make the ball on top turn. Simply amazing! The ball offers lots of amusement for baby without the hassle of electronics, loud noises and annoying songs. She just didn't want to put it down and actually held on to it even when I was taking her to her room for a nap.

She stopped playing with it around the time she got 10 months old, but hey, that's a toy for young babies, not toddlers, so I don't agree with reviewers who complain about the short life time of it, especially when I think how much it was loved and used for these months! And even if it is not used anymore, it is still in such a good shape that her siblings will be able to use it, too. And for sure, they'll love it!

Munchkin Bath Toy Scoop, Blue

Munchkin Bath Toy Scoop, BlueI had wanted to buy a more expensive toy scoop (that looked like an animal), but decided to give this one a try. Glad I did! Holds on very well to the tile in our shower, even with the humidity. Comes with extra adhesive, too.

You can scoop up all the toys in one scoop. You also can let it drain by hanging on the wall. Nice and easy assembly.

Overall Im really happy with this product we havent had any issues with it and all of my boys toys fit just fine. Its a lot shipper than other brands and it does the job for us.

This product was purchased from many choices. There were way cuter ones out there shaped like animals and such, but I purchased this one because it was less expensive. It is very sturdy plastic. The hook attaches to the wall of the shower/tub with very sturdy 3M tape. I installed it in approximately one minute (had to pull off the pesky back of the tape). I is still hainging and hasn't fallen yet...so far, so good.

Want Munchkin Bath Toy Scoop, Blue Discount?

I was very skeptical about any kind of product that used tape strips to stick to a wall in a very humid room...but this had good reviews so I tried it. It's a joke. Cleaned the wall, attached the sticky base and held firmly for about 3 minutes, then let sit for 24 hours until I hung the scoop on it. That night I am sleeping and hear this huge crash in the bathroom...yup it fell off. And it was not packed heavily, just those little rubber animals. Part of me knew there was no way these sticky strips would hold up, but I am still mad over this purchase and want to return it for a refund.

Madame Alexander, My First Baby Kiss Me, Sweet Baby Nursery Collection - 12"

Madame Alexander, My First Baby Kiss Me, Sweet Baby Nursery Collection - 12'I bought this for my Izzy for her birthday in September. She has not seen it yet but it is a beautiful doll. I really liked the face and the detail on the hands and feet even though they are cloth. I also liked the smaller size for someone who will only be 12 months old. Its hard to find this nice of a doll for someone that young.

I bought this beautiful baby-girl doll for our own precious baby girl, Melissa, who is my first great-great grandchild. I fell in love with that sweet face because it is so much like Melissa's! And who could resist such a little charmer all dressed in girly pink?

I haven't seen this doll yet because they live too far away from me, but I can't wait to see a photo of Melissa playing with her very own "baby." You bet I will post it on customer images; that will be a great shot!

Melissa's mother Ashley called me to tell me how much she enjoyed this for her first birthday; she said she scooted around the party, dragging this doll and never once letting go. Needless to say, that warmed my heart.

Ashley also liked Madame Alexander, My First Baby Kiss Me, Sweet Baby Nursery Collection 12" because the 12" size is the right size for Melissa and the soft body and velour hands and feet are comfortable to the touch. Although looks are secondary when choosing a doll for an infant, Ashley said everyone gushed over how cute it was in it's pink polka-dot outfit.

Another big plus is that it's a Madame Alexander doll, a designer who is known for the beauty and quality of her dolls; a trusted name. But my true reward is in knowing Melissa is enjoying my gift. As I said, I can't wait to get that picture!

I have trusted Mme. Alexander dolls since I was a child, and ordered this doll for my Great-Granddaughter for her birthday, relying on that trust. I was not disappointed! This doll is adorable and made perfectly for a "First Doll". She has soft hands, so as to not poke Baby's eyes and a soft body and legs that are perfect for cuddling! Baby carries this doll and tries to wrap her in a small blanket and hugs her...it's adorable! I looked at dolls in stores and could not find one that met my standards...then went to Amazon for the answer and found it! Next time I'll start with Amazon!

I received excellent service and a perfect doll!

I got this for my 1 year old's birthday. She really loves this doll and sleeps with it every night. It is smaller than I thought, but it's very pretty. My only complaint is there are 3 very thick velcro strips between the legs to keep the pajamas on and it gets skewed becoming scratchy. But, it's still a very nice, soft doll and I'm happy with my purchase.

This doll is super cute and there are so many great things about it.

The Great:

* totally washable

* the clothes and hat can be removed to put new outfits on

* the face is sweet and not scary.. even with the hat off like some other dolls I have seen

* the hands are so soft that I feel totally comfortable with my 15 month old sleeping with this doll

* velcro holds the clothes on not small (choke-able) buttons

* mouth is alittle open which makes it great for play feeding bottles and such

There is nothing bad to say about this doll. I read all the specs about this doll and knew it was 12" but when I got it, the size did surprise me anyways. It is small... all 12" seem larger on paper than in real life. Would I trade it for a larger one that didn't have any one of the great things about this doll... no way.... so small yes... perfect for a toddler... absolutely!!!!!

Skip Hop Dunks Stacking Bath Toy

Skip Hop Dunks Stacking Bath Toy, Blue, Green, YellowMy daughter received these Skip Hop Dunck toys for Christmas. She is 10 months old right now and she loves to watch them float around the tub. My 3 year old son also loves to fill them up and pour the water out of them. I also use them as a rinse cup. I love that they stack together, it makes storage very easy. The ducks do float very well in the tub, and are a really nice size. These are so cute and seem to be very durable. Highly recommended!

This product doubles as a device for pouring water over a baby's body and as floating bath time toys. I love that this product is very unique. I haven't seen anything like this down any baby aisle. It's a functional accessory for bath time.

One for each of my two children, and one for the bath-giver! It is the perfect little bath toy. The bath-giver will find it holds enough water to rinse a child's hair without too many re-dunks into the water.

I hope these last until I have grandchildren they are fabulous!!

Ok, so these are basically bird-shaped cups, but both Mommy and Baby love them. The colors are nice, and the shape is good both visually and practically. They are good for stacking, pouring, floating, playing ducky and rinsing baby's hair. Baby (12 mo) is fascinated with water poured out of them; she likes grabbing the stream of water. We've only had them a month, but they seem like they will be durable. The only, very minor, drawback is that when we stack them up to store on the side of the tub, they are very wobbly and usually fall off.

Gorgeous design and my 2 yr old niece loved them! Not just for the bath either. Her mom who is very particular about design thought they were beautiful just to keep little toys or even snacks in. My 6 & 9 year old saw them and asked for a set too!
