Learn to Dress Doll Bearemy Bear

Learn to Dress Doll Bearemy BearThis little bear is cuter in person, so soft! Our 6 year old boy loves playing with all the buckles and ties... it's a great size for his little hands. Really fast delivery too!

This dress up bear is smaller than I thought it would be. Perhaps the measurements did not strike me as being this small.

I can't believe all the negative reviews. When I recd this product I was more than pleasantly surprised since I read the negative reviews. it came in before due date and my daughter hasn't warmed up to it yet (she has other "favorites") but i'm sure she will. it's a great product and I think some of the negative reviewers have ulterior motives and are just a bunch of cry babies. don't you get amazon points or something no matter what kind of feedback you give? how low do you want the price to be??? THE QUALITY IS EXEMPLARY and the price is astonishing. for the ppl leaving negative feedback, go to the thrift store then. maybe you'll find a dime store miracle purchase there.

As a kid I had some sort of "learn to dress" doll, so i wanted one for my son desperately. I came accross many life-sized dolls. But this was the only 'normal' sized doll at a decent price. My only dissapointment is that it does not have a velcro feature.

I gave this bear as a gift 3 weeks ago and the zipper is already malfunctioning. Definitely not durable enough for a toddler.

MEASURE UP!® Cups by Discovery Toys

MEASURE UP!® Cups by Discovery ToysI purchased a set of Discovery Toys Meaure Up Cups when my children were small. Now that I'm a grandma, I still have the original set for use at my home, and purchased sets for my grandchildren to have at their homes, since they love my original set. It's always the first toy they go to when they arrive at grandma's house. Durable, versatile, and fun.

I enjoyed this toy as a small child (at least according to my mother), and now my daughter loves it. She's too young for the clocks to mean much to her (20 months), but she loves stacking the blocks and somehow can entertain herself for long stretches of time with them. They also make a great bath toy. The plastic is thick enough that she has yet to deform any blocks which is a rarity with her toys.

I just bought these for my friend's two year old. We had them for our kids and we used them in the bathtub and the sandbox. The girls loved to stack them, fill them with water and sand and learn their colors with them. They're construction is superb as well. They outlasted all the other toys we had 25 years ago!

NASA Jr. Astronaut Suit /Child Costume

NASA Jr. Astronaut Suit Toddler/Child CostumeThis was my 3-yr-old's Christmas gift--along with the astronaut helmet--today's date is March 17 and he has worn it every day since Christmas Day. To say this gift has been loved is an understatement. My son is known all over town because of his constantly being an astronaut. I'm actually looking at replacement costumes as this one is coming apart at the seams; however, I don't blame the quality of the outfit. This outfit has withstood intense wear for the last three months. Order big--the 4/6 is a perfect fit with no room to spare and my child is a very average sized three-year-old. I'm actually considering ordering a size up from that if I replace it.

We bought this for my 3 yr old son for his Halloween Costume last fall. He has loved it! He makes me play space ship with him all the time and even wants to wear it to run errands. It's refreshing to find boy dress up clothes that aren't fictional super heros but allow them to create their own character to pretend to be. It also washes up amazingly well. I can't believe the stains that have come out of it. I would have given it 5 stars, but it is starting to show signs of pilling and one of the seams in the "suspenders" (for lack of a better term) has come undone. But I can over look that for the hours of imagination that it has opened up for my budding astronaut.

The Jr. Astronaut Suit with Embroidered Cap, size 4/6 (white) was a big hit with my budding astronaut he couldn't wait for Halloween this year and actually wore it without complaint for all of our events. It is better made than a lot of the costumes I have seen.

We were very pleased. I would note that my son is a size 4/5 and this fit him perfectly. There wasn't a lot of room to spare.

This is a very high-quality astronaut suit with hat. We were very impressed, as was our 4-year-old daughter. I would recommend buying a little big, though: our daughter wears about a size 5 but the size 6-8 fits her pretty well with some room to grow. Great deal

Want NASA Jr. Astronaut Suit /Child Costume Discount?

Purchased this item basically as a costume and felt it was a little pricey. However, after receiving it I found it to be something that a child would be happy to wear as regular play attire.........with lots of zipper compartments where little boys can hide their treasures. Suit is very well constructed and I am quite pleased with the purchase and suspect my grandson will also be happy when he receives it.

Ty Beanie Babies - Spike the Rhinoceros (Retired)

Ty Beanie Babies - Spike the RhinocerosI am a biologist and science teacher so realism is a must. This Beanie baby is great because Ty not only made the rhino look realistic, but they also managed to make a rhino cute somehow. Just looking at him makes me smile and think "Aww he is so cute!" The name Spike is just perfect for him too. I have had Spike for quite a number of years. He went to college with me and went to classes in my sweatshirt's front pocket. He was the encouragement I needed to get through the toughest courses like organic chemistry. I held him, carried him around, and pet him millions of times, yet he still looks brand new. If I had a son, this is a toy I would buy him.

I've had one of these fellas in my travel kit for 5 years. He's kind of a mascot. He's also incredibly resilient and durable. Only reason I got a second one is that I dread the thought of losing a goofy photo-op with him, if I were to lose the original!

Buy Ty Beanie Babies - Spike the Rhinoceros (Retired) Now

I enjoy small stuffed animals/beanies that look realistic. Good to teach about endangered animals. I dont like the new colorful and crappy made beanies. I really like Spike.

Read Best Reviews of Ty Beanie Babies - Spike the Rhinoceros (Retired) Here

Though soft if taken care of, and desirable to a collecter, there isn't really anything unique about him. Ty Beanie Babies get better every year, and in the year 2005, you're bound to find better-made, more colorfully decorated Beanies then this one. Gray really is a dull color, but if you love rhinos, I suppose you'd like him.

Tolo Toys Pop-Up Teddies

Tolo Toys Pop-Up TeddiesMy now 1 year old loved this since he was 6 months. Its a very entertaining toy and my baby learned how to push the buttons to make the bears pop out but when he pushes the bear back down into the box, my baby's finger would get pinched by the little bear's red hat. And given that my baby would bang the bears back down, he would hurt himself pretty badly. So, I made it a point to supervise him while playing with it and then i found myself not allowing him to do it himself (kinda defeats the purpose). I don't know when I'll take this out of the closet and reintroduce to baby or how he might react to it when he's older. It did serve its purpose when i wanted to entertain my baby when he was younger but then it quickly got akward when I didn't allow him to play with it as much as I was.

The first reviewer was correct, this toy is dangerous. First of all, it makes a hideous, loud cracking noise every time you push the buttons to "pop-up" the teddies. My baby was frightened by the LOUD abrupt snapping/cracking noises. Secondly, fingers and skin will get pinched by the red hats. I would not recommend this to any child, at any age.

VTech Count and Dive Penguins Bath Toy

VTech Count and Dive Penguins Bath ToyMy 18 month old twins love this tub toy. It has also changed my mind about tub toys that require batteries. One child can play with the baby penguins in the tub while the other plays with the star or heart buttons on the mom penguin.

The songs are the usual ones, but they somewhat have a tropical feel to them. There are also two volume levels

The mom penguin asks if you can "find baby penguin number ___?" However, it doesn't give a hooray or no if the wrong number is inserted; the mom penguin gives a fun sound and says "I'm baby penguin number __."

You can pull out the baby penguins or push down on the mom penguin's feet. My kids like to pull the babies out, but they do like the splash sound that is made when the mom's feet are depressed. Right now, the net isn't being used, but I'm sure it will be more fun when they are older.

I LOVE this toy!! I think I love it even more than my 1-year-old, but only because she's not old enough to appreciate how valuable it really is. When I was a kid, bath time was my favorite time of day. I would spend the entire duration of the tub filling picking out which toys I was going to bring into the bath with me. When I had my daughter I vowed that bath time would be just as fun for her as it was for me when I was little. Fun in the tub is all about having the proper toys. And this penguin is the proper toy! Not only is it fun (my baby loves to press the star to hear the music play), but it's teaching her lots. It teaches her to count to ten, and how to identify numbers. It also teaches her cause-and-effect press the mommy's feet and the baby penguin pops out. It also teaches her shapes, as she is learning the proper way to hold the baby penguin so that it fits correctly into the space. We've only had this toy for about a month, so I can't really speak for it's durablity or longevity, but so far so good. It's using the same batteries it came with, all of the various functions still work, and it continues to hold my daughter's attention. A+ in my book!

It is not clear even to me as an adult how to get the baby's to pop out. Just push his foot, and there is no click or anything to notify you that you have pushed hard enough, and they don't instantly pop out, they randomly pop out after a few seconds.

Plan Toys Dancing Alligator

Plan Toys Dancing AlligatorOur son walked a little on the late side at 17 months, and this little alligator has become a great companion for him since. With a dog, we must go for walks daily, and he walks the alligator while I tend to his younger brother and walk the dog. That alligator has put some MILES on it. We got it as a gift from my aunt who is an avid Salvation Army shopper and were devastated when a wheel fell off (this is probably after at least 50 miles on the thing, not including its milage from previous owners), but we found a label on its clackity body and were ecstatic to have located a new one. The best part ... no batteries! Just a well-made and inexpensive toy that is, quite literally, willing to go the distance with your little one.

I bought this cute little fellow for my nephew. When it came, I just HAD to get it out and play with it myself! The clapping (not overly annoying) intrigued and scared my cat, but I sure thought it was fun. The wheel axels are off-center, forcing the "worm"-like motion (like the 80s dance, which forces the plates to clap as it strolls along. It is smaller than I expected -box is only about 4"x4"x12", but I guess that makes it a little less intimidating for small children. Haven't given this to my nephew yet, but I sure think it's a great, timeless toy that can entertain for many years. For those who are interested, the paint is soy-based; the manufacturer really seemed to be dedcated to a natural, quality product.

My girlfriend sent this to our daughter for her 1st birthday. She had just begun to walk, but she played with it often. Now that she is 18 months and running, she loves to pull the alligator around the house and especially loves the clacking noise it makes. I love that it is environmentally friendly and needs no batteries. This is a great toy for your own kids or as a gift for a 12+ month toddler. I will certainly buy more Plan Toys going forward

Sassy Fill Up Fish Toy Organizer, Colors May Vary

Sassy Fill Up Fish Toy Organizer, Colors May VaryAfter reading some of the other reviews, I was a little hesitant to purchase this. It has surprisingly worked very well and holds lots of toys. I have not had any problems with it coming off the shower wall and the suction works great.

I saw this featured in a magazine and thought it was a great idea. It is, but the suctions don't work very well. Especially when my son is trying to take toys out during his bath, the thing keeps falling on him. I think it makes it worse because the bath walls are wet from the moisture.

This cute, colorful fish helps keep the bathtub from being cluttered with toys and allows them to air-dry quickly! We simply moistened the suction cups once, attached to the wall, and haven't had problems since! I love the easy clean-up after bath time and I am a big fan of Sassy products. Highly recommended!

Sassy Pour and Explore Water Whirl Bath Toy

Sassy Pour and Explore Water Whirl Bath ToyThe spinner needs a lot of water pressure to even spin a tiny bit. You can't pour water into it to make it spin. The teeter-totter part works slightly and the suction cup is very flat and doesn't stay up. It slides and falls right away. It looks very cool in it's picture and description, but I was very disappointed! There are much funner bath toys you could buy with $5. I suggest The First Years Finding Nemo bath cups which I bought on Amazon the same time as this. $5.99 and very cute with interesting water spouts on each one. My son likes these out of the tub as well. You can also stack and nest them.

I thought this would be a cool bathtub toy, but it's hard to make the wheels spin. You have to pour a lot of water fast to really make it spin good. My daughter can barely make them spin, so she lost interest in this toy really quick. My older boys play with it occasionally, but it's not a good toy for a toddler.

Buy Sassy Pour and Explore Water Whirl Bath Toy Now

I saw this online and thought what a cute toy! My kid loves to dump water...Well, there is a major flaw. It only has one suction cup on the back. When you dump water into the top of the toy it flips upside down from the weight of the water. This becomes very frustrating. My kid gets mad and knocks it off the wall. There are better toys out there, Save your money!

While this is a simple bath toy, our 1 year old isn't as interested in it yet as we hoped. It sticks to the tub, it's smaller than we expected, and it doesn't always work the water doesn't always spin the wheel. It flows through very quickly, which means the cause and effect our toddler is looking for isn't worth the effort (yet).

Want Sassy Pour and Explore Water Whirl Bath Toy Discount?

I thought this would be a fun bath toy for my kids, 4 and 1, but I was wrong. As all the other reviews stated, it doesn't work the way it should. The water doesn't really make the pieces move and when it does its just not that exciting. My kids don't ever play with it. Maybe the water reservior needs to be larger. A regular cup gives my kids longer playing time in the tub than this toy does.

Tek Nek Little Friendly Fairies

Tek Nek Little Friendly FairiesMy 10 month old daughter loves this bike so can't take it away but it does not roll evenly, the stickers on the wheels tore and the others were falling off. We replaced them with other princess stickers. The horn does nothing. The steering moves a little but not enough to turn. The buttons on top are lights but the ones under the wheel, odd location do play sounds. The seat does not open. And the bar on the back is too low for even a child to use for pushing. There are better ride on toys on the market for the price.

PlanToys Pull-Along Caterpillar

PlanToys Pull-Along CaterpillarI bought this cute caterpillar for my daughter when she was about 13 months old. She loves pulling this little caterpillar all over the place. It has the cutest little wobble and is just so darn stinking cute! It's a good weight because of it's high quality materials. Which is good because it keeps the toy from flipping over when my daughter decides to run and pull it. Smooth round corners with very durable paint. It has a kind of rubber on it's feet/wheels so it can grip/crawl on the smoothest of surfaces. My only slight complaint is that I wish the string was a bit longer. But that is because my daughter is really tall. It would also be nice to see it come in other colors. Those two things though have no impact on me recommending this toy over and over again to any parent. My daughter plays REALLY rough with toys! This little caterpillar still looks new after all my daughter has put it though. Because of it's great quality, I've decided to buy all my daughter's toy foods for her kitchen from this company as well. Great product, you won't be disappointed!

Very sweet little catepillar-I would definitely recommend if you've got a "puller" in your brood. I have realized now, after a few attempts of different kinds of pull toys, that I have two "pushers", so neither of them wanted to pull this little guy behind them. That was a little disappointing because it's never ever been played with and while it's not expensive, it's still not cheap. I can't find the receipt because it got lost amongst the Christmas mayhem, so we'll give this to someone else eventually.

Movement is rather subtle, but still cute. Does not flip over easily and is made of high quality materials. Seems very durable.

Read Best Reviews of PlanToys Pull-Along Caterpillar Here

My toddler (16 months) uses Mr. Caterpillar like a little push car. When he tries to pull Mr. Pillar, Pillar tips easily and often ends up being dragged along on his side. Mr. Pillar is not easily righted. However, Mr. Pillar is exceptionally cute, and my son seems to enjoy pushing him around the floor with his other cars. Perhaps when he's a little older, my child will be less enthusiastic with his pulling, and Mr. Pillar will be able to wobble along sedately (and adorably) behind him.

ETA: AT 18 months, my son is rocking this all over the house.
