Infantino Tap and Go Musical Drum

Infantino Tap and Go Musical DrumThis little "drum" was a gift for my 5 month old daughter who was getting into slapping things with her hands. She loves it. I love it. The great thing about it is it has a soft pillow top and sides, but the weird thing is, it doesn't actually play drum noises. It plays two tunes in piano. The cool thing is, it responds to the slightest tap, has a low and high setting and an off switch. Each tap gives you a note and they create a song that way. It's a lot of fun, my husband and I both enjoy it :) I recommend it for a young baby. Even if they chew on it, it's fine because it's soft.

my son doesn't love it. He will pick just about any toy over it. We got this because, at 6 months, he loves to bang on things. I think he passes this toy over, however, because it IS so sensitive to the slightest touch, as another review states. There's no "cause and effect." Also, I do not see how this toy can roll to promote crawling. The sides are not firm enough.

Cute and Soft for my boys first drum. He can gently tap it and it makes a noise to his delight. It does get kind of annoying especially since it plays actual songs but obviously your baby isn't going to hit the drum in rhythm. But in MHO all toys that make noise are annoying.

Excellent toy for babies. Smooth and the music is nice. The toy is small, but its price is good. Buy it!

My son got this when he was about 6 months old and he liked it. The drum is all cushioned so it is soft and they won't bang their head on it. It is a good size to put in front of a baby learning how to sit up by themselves.

Battat Dino Bath Buddies

Battat Dino Bath BuddiesI bought these for my 3-year-old niece along with the farm animal bath buddies. She still has them with her every bath a year later. She also plays with them in the pool when she swims. She absolutely loves them. They are very durable and lots of fun!

Perfect size for the 3 year old to play with in the tub. Entertains for a while in the shower.

I have 3 grandsons under 3. They all like dinosaurs, but 1 is especially skittish of the realistic, toothy variety. The bath dinosaurs were the perfect compromise. They all love bathtime and the dinosaurs are all very "friendly" looking. They were a hit!

Aurora Plush Baby 12" Pink Blessings Bear

Aurora Plush Baby 12' Pink Blessings BearI sent this as a gift to my mom as she had surgery. I wanted something cute for her to look at as she recovered. She absolutely loved it, and her favorite part was how soft it was! I was really pleased with that as, of course, ordering on line, one never knows how soft something is. She was VERY pleased w/it... therefore so am I. VERY glad I sent it!!

Taggies Colours Hang Arounds Take Along Toy

Taggies Colours Hang Arounds Take Along Toy, PonyGrandson is fixated with the tags on items. So when I found these toys I was so excited. He has this on his car seat. He plays and chews on it with his other toys.

My baby received this toy for Christmas and absolutely loves it! The bright colors engage him and it is easy to grasp. He especially loves playing with all the little tags and chewing on them. I purchased one for my nephew in Shanghai and am sure he will love it too!

green sprouts Cornstarch Dumbbell Rattle

green sprouts Cornstarch Dumbbell Rattle, BlueThis is a lovely little plaything for my beautiful granddaughter. It fits very well in her small hands. She is able to keep a good grip on it as long as she wants. Very good buy, very fast delivery.

Pleasant rattle sound, but could be a bit louder. Would prefer the handle part to be round rather than flat. Overall though, it's a nice eco friendly toy and it's great not to worry when baby gnaws on it with his teeth!

Mary Meyer Brownie Bear Family, Baby Brownie Bear, 9"

Mary Meyer Brownie Bear Family, Baby Brownie Bear, 9'This little guy is sooo soft and the size is just right for a baby 0-12 months of age, it was the perfect size for my 4 month old, he's 6 months now and doesn't sleep without it...

Brownie bear is very cute and soft. Ideal for an infant in that it has sewn eyes and nose and is small, although my 5 month old has been able to pull out small tufts of its fur. My daughter is able to grasp this bear and hold it. A great first teddy!

Storytime - Nutcracker

Storytime - NutcrackerI had been looking for a unique Nutcracker gift for my daughter, 3. This is soft, bright colored yarn and is very well made. I am extremely pleased with it. I was a bit surprised by the size, thought it would be larger, but am actually happy it is smaller for her sake.

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

Bright Starts Having a Ball Bop and Chomp Gator

Bright Starts Having a Ball Bop and Chomp GatorMy son got this for his first birthday and it is by far his favorite toy. I was amazed at how quickly he picked up on what to do with each of the balls; and he gets a kick out of matching the colored ball to the right hole. And he knows that it will make noise and flash lights when he pushes the balls in he gets so excited. When it starts playing a tune he will jump up with the mallet and do a little shimmy dance, so the toy is so worth it right there! I do get a little frustrated that it seems like after a month of continuous use (every day) that the holes almost seem stretched out and are not as sensitive though, so the toy doesn't always recognize that a ball went through. The mouth of the gator slides down really easily too and my son has to really work to get the ball out of it's mouth. Again....I guess it's a learning thing so he recognizes the ball is in there, but he doesn't understand why it won't come out on it's own all the time. Cute, nice to keep my son occupied, but not built for all the wear and tear little ones put on their toys.

My daughter got this for her first birthday. It's cute....baby likes it. However, I put her in the playpen with this toy while I did something on the computer. And I heard her start screaming from the next room. Poor baby's foot was caught in one of the ball holes. It was hurting her at the angle it was caught at. After quickly scooping her up and twisting the toy, I was able to wiggle her foot free, but I won't be leaving her alone with it anymore.

Billy Bob Baby Pimp Gold Pacifier

Billy Bob Baby Pimp Gold PacifierThis was a really cute item to buy. Only problem was when I tried to sterilize the paificer, the face of it began to crack. I would probably purchase it again for fun and just carefully sterilize only the nipple portion.

Everyone gets a laugh out of it but the paint chips off very easily and my son ended up with gold sparkles all over his mouth.

Mushroom Baby Pool 40"X 35"

Mushroom Baby Pool 40'X 35'The Intex baby pools are great fun for baby and toddler. This is our second year buying an Intex baby pool. The first one finally deflated after a complete year of imaginative play. Not only can it be used with water, we fill it with balls to create a ball pit, fill it with pillows to create a great comfy and cozy toddler space, and we also drape a super lightweight cloth to create a fort. My only little quam is that with each pool comes with a set of little attachable floats, and with each pool we have had at least one float from each set had a hole, and was not able to be inflated. Not a terribly big deal, but appears to be a consistent manufacture's defect.

I bought this pool for my six month old. I figured the beach water would be too cold and that water would warm up in this pool and she could cool off in it without freezing. The mushroom shade is perfect, she sits right under the dark spot so she's not in the sun. It's sturdy and not too difficult to blow up the old fashioned way. It even comes with little blow up toys. This is a good buy!! Loved it!

Buy Mushroom Baby Pool 40"X 35" Now

I just purchased this pool and thought it best to blow each piece of it up to see how well they would keep their form. So far, so good, since I did it last evening. The little blow-up toys are a real plus too. I cannot wait until the little grandchildren get up here to try it out. I also like the fact they they have a roof-type cover in the mushroom-shaped top to shade them somewhat from the sun.

The pool never stayed inflated. Came with multiple leaks...too many to fix. I tried many times to fix the leaks and the top would never stay up. Was unable to use the pool. Was a complete waste of money.

Want Mushroom Baby Pool 40"X 35" Discount?

I ordered this for our 9-month-old, in hopes that I can use it at home and easily hook it to a stroller and carry it to our neighborhood pool (no baby pool there). It's probably a too large to carry on a stroller, but an adult could easily carry it over a shoulder.

Our 6 and 3 years old have had so much fun playing with it in our family room for the past 2 weeks that we haven't even had the chance to put water in it! It's fantastic for imaginative play -it's been a house, a tent (with a blanket over it), a bed, a dog crate, an umbrella, a "sifter" (even though the white circles are not holes; still, our son inverts the top and pretends to fill it with peanuts and popcorn)... you get the idea. Oh, and the baby loves it, too. She'll sit in it and play and can safely maeuver crawling in and out because the sides are very low and soft. It's held up fine to all of this abuse. The added toys have been nice for the baby. I'm optimistic that it will make a great pool, too!

We used an air compressor to blow it up. It would take a long time by mouth!

P'kolino Fishing Hole Size Sorter

P'kolino Fishing Hole Size SorterI honestly wasn't sure about buying this, it seemed kind of simple, but the children in my classroom love it, and it's not as simple as i thought. They are sorting the fish by size and color. Very nicely made too.

Our house loves P'kolino products, and this Fishing Sorter is no exception. It is well-made and very durable, and the bright colors are appealing. My daughter was about a year old when we got it for her and is about 20 months now. She plays with it often. The size and color sorting is great for her development, and she loves the "clunk" sound the fish make when they are put in correctly. Highly recommended!

Buy P'kolino Fishing Hole Size Sorter Now

My daughter loves fishes so this is perfect. Not sure if she's too smart but she often uses the largest hole for all the fish not just the biggest ones. I also like that each fish looks different.

Read Best Reviews of P'kolino Fishing Hole Size Sorter Here

This is a cute idea but some of the fish fit in the largest hole. Therefore it's not a toy that can teach color matching the majority of the time (I work with children with autism as behavior therapist so I wish that it had this educational aspect). Kids like to watch the fish bounce. Sometimes the fish bounce out the back hole and we make it into a joke that we need to rescue the fish. Kids really like when I make the fish jump out of the holes. I have used this as a thematic play toy by having characters pretend to go to the aquarium and watching a fish show.

Very sturdy toy. My 18 month old daughter loves it and I feel good about here playing with wooden toys.

Bunnies by the Bay Emmit's Colors Book, YellowI bought this for my daughter's Easter basket and I love it. It is absolutely adorable and was the perfect size for her basket and for her little hands. The illustrations are so cute and the book is very good quality.

This line of books by Bunnies by the Bay are small and durable, making them perfect for a little one to hold and investigate. The pictures are cute and the duck on the front is soft and furry making it fun for a baby to touch.

Plastic Swirl Spin Tops (1 dz)

Plastic Swirl Spin TopsGreat value considering that you get so many at this low a price. The tops themselves seem to be built well, not of some cheap plastic material that comes apart easily. They spin both ways, on the top part as well as on the bottom. Thinking of buying more of these for return gifts in the future.

I bought these tops because my class studies balance and motion. We have a lesson on things that spin, which includes making tops. I think the students will enjoy playing with these tops in class when we talk about how the look of a design can change when it starts to spin.

My students' first wood-working projects are wooden spinning tops. These colorful plastic tops are great fun for kids who are waiting to work. The colorful swirling galaxy on the inside gives them great ideas for painting their own wooden creations. They spin for a long time and are good play motivators for kids who need reinforcement with their fine motor skills. Learning by playing and enjoyable social interaction is a great benefit!

We have a lot of fun with these tops but they are a poor quality. Some of the plastic is cracked before we have even touched them. None the less though, getting a dozen for $4 was worth it.

Sassy Busy Bugs Bar

Sassy Busy Bugs BarThough this bar is absolutely too cute for words, if you have a Graco Travel System don't buy it. My son loves to play with it but we could not attach the bar to his stroller. My husband actually cut two slits (discretely) in the food tray in order for the velcro to slide through. It does now but because the tray is a little high I am always afraid that the butterfly will poke his eye out so I don't let him play with it alone. If it was a little lower he would be able to play with it in his lap so to speak. The little snack bowl is interesting and a nice idea but the lid keeps falling down on his little fingers and he keeps throwing the detachable bowl everywhere. Ive never put food in it because of this and taped it shut. Overall it is a beautiful toy, full of bright colours and things to play with and to keep his attention but my main complaint is the fact that it could not be attached to the stroller.

I saw this toy and thought it looked like so much fun; a great purchase for entertaining my daughter. However, after recieving my order, I couldn't figure out how to attach the Busy Bug Bar onto my stroller. I have the fairly common Graco travel system stroller, with a snack tray for her. I finally figured out the problem; the velcro attachment just isn't long enough to reach around the tray. So in order to use this toy, I will have to purchase extra velcro to attach it.

I received this as a gift, unforutnately it didn't fit on our stroller (pretty standard Graco Travel System) or on our carseat (either our Grace or our Marathon) and so it was pretty useless.

I like this toy, but be careful it DOES NOT fit most strollers. If you have a travel system with a tray on the front, it won't fit, but a little extra velcro can fix that.

My 10 month old daughter absolutely loves this stroller bar. She's had it since she was 5 months old. It fits perfectly on her stroller and is a big hit wherever we go. Little kids come up to the stroller to touch and play with the toy bar, and even the adults comment on it. Its a great product, a must have.

Fisher-Price Sing-Along Activity Book

Fisher-Price Sing-Along Activity BookI bought this when I was still pregnant. This is my child's first toy. She loves to play with the sound. I, on the otherhand, teach her the items on the book (BALL, FISH, APPLES, DUCKS) and shows her an actual ball, duck, etc.

She does play with the puppy as a rattle, but she is not interested in the book at all.

There is only 1 song in the book, and has nothing to do with the book's content.
