HSC SLW988 Super Gigantic Keyboard Playmat with Built-In Amplifier for Portable CD/MP3 Plug In

HSC SLW988 Super Gigantic Keyboard Playmat with Built-In Amplifier for Portable CD/MP3 Plug InI put this keyboard into a children's museum. It has been used hard and continues to be a children's favorite. I am pleased enough that I am going to incorporate it into my music classroom come the new school year.

We purchased this as a prize giveaway at a trade show and it was a big hit. Everyone that came by wanted to play it.

Nice and durable since many people kept their shoes on, which worried us, but it held up! Great toy for kids and adults!

I bought this for my Great Grand-daughters for Christmas. When we received it Grandpa and I had so much fun with it we thought of keeping it for us. It was great exercise for us, we tapped out songs we got from a apt on our Kindle. But, I eventually wrapped it up and gave it to them. They have had a lot of fun playing it, as have their parents and others that visit them. I highly recommend this to anyone, adult or child. It seems to be very sturdy, my older Great Grand-daughter, who is 7, has had all her little friends stomping on it and it is holding up well.

I got this for my "talented" 4 year old grand daughter for Christmas, yes she is only talented to me & her parents of course.

It sits in the hallway upstairs, so they know exactly where she is and when she is on the run or just hopping from black key to white key. The whole house full of family loved it at Christmas, kids & adults.

Quiet fun for everyone, perfect purchase to get everyone involved with their musical talents, even if they don' t have any!!!!

Little Tikes Activity Toyz

Little Tikes Activity ToyzThis set of rattles, rings and teethers is awesome!!! It's actually the second set I bought as my son lost his blue chewy teether from the first set and it was his favorite! 'crunchy bird' is a huge success, the rings ALWAYS useful, the cute giraffe rattle-easy for little hands to hold on to and the teething ring is the best! Out of any teething rings, that's the best we have! Can't beat the price either for such a great assortment and variety! Good quality products also! This would be the perfect shower gift or gift for your own child!

Wonderworld Musical Tree

Wonderworld Musical TreeBought this as a gift for my friend's 15-month-old little girl and it was a major hit! She and my 7-month-old were loving playing with the instruments right after the gift was opened. Great toy to hold baby's attention. If they are losing interest, just build up the musical tree tower, and BOOM!, they are mesmerized with it again! I will definitely be buying one for my little girl before long.

NOTE: Not the best toy for 7-month-old. I definitely needed to supervise her playing with it. I was mostly worried about the cymbal instrument pinching her little fingers or tongue (every thing goes in her mouth!) because it is metal.

We have a number of different musical instruments made for children. What we love about the Wonderworld Musical Tree is the instruments are small enough for little hands to hold and handle easily. We also appreciate the the instruments are made for little hands that shake from left to right instead of up and down (babies tend to wave things in front of them, rather than using the up and down motion that most adult instruments require). We like these musical instruments so much that we have given them as gifts, too!

My 5-month-old, 3-year-old, and 6-year-old all love this toy! Each piece makes noise ("music"), and as long as the 6-year-old doesn't get too carried away it's not too loud.

Although smaller than I had realized we love this awesome wooden toy. My daughter and her friends can play these instruments when Daddy plays his guitar!

Want Wonderworld Musical Tree Discount?

Fantastic toy--worth every penny. I never have it put together as the tree, but my daughter's two favorites are the green tambourine and the green and yellow clacker. She's had it since 9 months (not 13 months) and they are the perfect size for her little hands. She walks around the house shaking them!

I just love this thing--a nice break from the plastic flashing loud toys. Highly recommended.

Little Tikes Drum

Little Tikes DrumThis drum has lasted through all of my 5 children and now our little niece. This drum is aimed for use with very young children, but older ones enjoy it as well. My twins liked to suck on the drumsticks!! It has been stood on, sat on and thrown down the stairs, holding up to everything.

Babies can make noise by hitting the soft skin of the drum, and also the hard plastic, generating different sounds and textures. It is a great alternative to pounding on furniture, heads or other objects. The drumsticks are attached to the drum with strong string. Mine have never come detatched.

I bought this toy as well as other music-makers to add to our instrument collection.

If you want to win the "coolest parent" award from your toddler/preschooler, than go ahead and give in to this drum. It isn't loud!!! No matter how hard the pounding is---it's never very loud. That is a wonderful thing. All the joys, none of the pain!

The sticks won't get lost (and our littlest found them to be a great teething knob).

Nothing broken or even slightly bent after a full year of active play by kids from the ages of 6 months to 4 years old.

There isn't a better drum out there (that will allow them creative play, rhythm, dexterity, hand-eye coordination and will still allow you to keep your sanity).

My son doesnt play with this drum until another child shows interest. The drum sticks are attached with very short cords and it's hard for him to get the sticks on the drum. they need to be a little bit longer.

What could be more fun for a 2-3 year old? Not much! Come on parents...don't be scared...what's a little more noise? A truly classic toy no kid should be without. A nice feature..the drumsticks are attached to the drum so can't be misplaced. Yeah!

Gund Tuskin 14" Mammoth Plush

Gund Tuskin 14' Mammoth Plushi have enjoyed learning about Wooly Mammoth's most of my life and decided I wanted a stuffed animal of one recently. So i bought the cutest one I saw for a good price, however since he's only really about 11" it's a little pricey.

He is really soft and cuddly though, so I'm glad I did buy him

Spielstabil Baby Bucket

Spielstabil Baby BucketThe bucket is bright and well-made (in Germany). No flimsy, somewhat cheap plastic. I really love the spoon scoop because it is thick and fits my baby hand. I think it will provide a lot of fun for my baby this summer. However, as some reviews mentioned the bucket is pretty small, probably for me...hope my baby will like it. I found a better description of the product for the future buyers:

# Dimensions:

Bucket

Top Diameter: 5 inches. Height: 3.5 inches.

Scoop

Length: 5 inches.

# Recommended age: 12 months+

I bought this toy for our infant son. When we received it, I was surprised by the size. It is a bit small. My son loves it. He likes to scoop with the little shovel and actually pretends it is a bowl and stirs. It is probably the perfect size for his little hands now ,at 9 months, but I don't think he will be using it next summer. There are no sharp edges and the plastic is high quality and durable! All in all I am pleased with the purchase and my son is very happy with the toy.

The bucket and digging spoon are small! Perfect for 1 year old, but probably small for even a 2 year old. Durable product that was made in Germany.

This is simply the perfect bucket/shovel option for little ones. My boy is seventeen months and has loved this from around 12 months. The little spoon is still his favorite digging implement. With many choices, he will always reach for this pair the size and feel seem to be perfect for the under-two set. As with all Spielstabil toys, very well made and durable in bright, smooth plastics.

Want Spielstabil Baby Bucket Discount?

It's a very small pail, but perfect for a small toddler, and it's very well made. We had ours for a few years and I am now looking to get more sand toys by this company.

Manhattan Toy Wavy Water Mat

Manhattan Toy Wavy Water MatThe picture is VERY misleading. The actual product is really only the size of a large book and you have to empty it out EVERY time you use it. It looks very cheap and I could have spent the $15 on something else for my son.

I really loved the idea of this toy, but my son at 5 1/2 months still just ends up picking the whole thing up and playing (ie eating) with it. Then the internal plastic part pokes out and has kind of sharp edges. Maybe more suited to and older babe..or just one who doesn't put EVERYTHING into his mouth! :)

One Dozen (12) Rubber Duck Ducky Duckie Baby Shower Birthday Party Favors

One Dozen Rubber Duck Ducky Duckie Baby Shower Birthday Party FavorsCute ducks for playing in the tub or decorating withsome of the best looking/cutest ones I've seen, but they don't stay upright if you are using them to float for a pick-a-duck game. We found one's that stay upright for our party on centurynovelty.com. They were more expensive, but stayed upright when the kids were picking them and throwing them back in the water.

My four year old asked for "lots of rubber ducks" for Christmas last year. I got him these. He has been very proud of them and enjoys playing with them. It's not extremely difficult to squeeze water out of them after a bath. They have a nice squeak about them.

These are fairly little (not tiny, but little), so make sure you read the specs. They float really well and the finish looks good and doesn't have an eye where the ear should be or anything else that makes it look cheap.

Read Best Reviews of One Dozen (12) Rubber Duck Ducky Duckie Baby Shower Birthday Party Favors Here

These rubber duckies are cute, but I'd only buy them if you need at most 6 floating, cute, non-headless rubber ducks. Of the ones I got, only a few float upright and aren't permanently squished in the sort of position that makes you think they commuted here via NYC subway during rush hour. Most have extremely thin plastic attaching the back of the neck to the body, and several are on their way to true decapitation. That being said, squished doesn't matter much for a 2-year-old's bath time, and I only wanted about 3 floating ones for a baby shower punch bowl. So despite the abundant presence of zombie ducks in my house, I'm happy.

green sprouts Cornstarch Ring Teether

green sprouts Cornstarch Ring Teether, PinkMy baby chose this rattle as her favorite to chew on while she was still gumming. She needed something without the nibs and a little softer than the others so that it would not hurt her. She now has her first tooth and this is still her favorite! The one with the rattle in it is the best, she can shake and chew!

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy - Pink

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy - PinkI bought this when my daughter was 4 months old. She immediately took to the music and smiled. Now at 9 mos, this is one of her favorite toys to play with. She loves squeezing the puppy's ear especially. My only complaint is that the paws are too sensitive. For example: If we are playing a song and one of the other sensories taps, lets say, the bed or my arm, it will change to that other function or say "goodbye." Other than that I think it is a very cute and fun toy for my little girl.

This product is adorable and fun, not overly educational, as it is very sensitive and the slightest touch will send it into something different, so they don't have time to learn a song while it changes and changes.

My biggest beef is the NON MACHINE WASHABLE MATERIAL! This product is made for toddlers and infants and you cannot throw it in the washing machine.......and to make matters worse, the material attracts every stray pet hair, piece of lint and MY hair to it and dirt.......you can wipe it off and two seconds later it is covered, again. I AM NOT A PIG, I vacuum daily, but I have a cat and a dog, a sweater and I have hair!!!! My hair is on it, when I touch it, my sweater rubs off on it, we have an afghan on the couch that is on it.......... it is NOT a clean toy!

I have no idea what Fisher-Price was thinking......use a material that doesn't attract all the yuck, please!!

I bought this for my daughter for her first Birthday and this is her favorite she won't let anyone play with it and she has to sleep with it everynight so I just keep it in her crib and she plays with it everymorning for 20 mins.. she just loves this.

The dog was so cute and my daughter LOVES the singing and moving, but it is SO loud when the arms and the ears move...almost louder than the singing is!!! SLIGHTLY ANNOYING, but since she is 1 and just views it as "song and dance" i guess we will keep it....

Sassy Whirly Twirly Twosome

Sassy Whirly Twirly TwosomeThis is a fantastic toy for newborns on up. These characters have eyes that attract the attention of even the youngest infants, along with a pleasant rattle sound. Even better, they have velcros straps on the pottom which allows them to attach to highchairs at restaurants, armrests of planes, car seat straps and strollers. We use them from before 6 months until at least 15 months. Well worth the small price. We give them as gifts to everyone with a new baby.

This toy is really cute and my daughter likes them. They attach to her stroller tray with no problem and can easily be removed or put on. It keeps her busy for awhile while I'm going on a long walk or grocery shopping.

Buy Sassy Whirly Twirly Twosome Now

I ordered this super stroller toy for my expectant niece who had placed it on a baby registration for another store. I bought it online at Amazon.com for less including shipping costs! As I had it shipped to her, I have never seen it in person. She was happy to receive it, but has not tried it even tho' the baby has arrived, it's not time for stroller rides yet. It appears to be wonderfully designed as it is entertaining just to look at its picture. I get a giggly feeling.

Thinkativity: Little Storyteller

Thinkativity: Little StorytellerMy 13 month old grandson loves the Little Storyteller. It is the first toy he picks up when he comes to my house. He has so much fun spinning the blocks and pressing the buttons, but the best thing about it is the big smile on his face as the stories are told!

The toy is certainly well made and is easy for him to handle. It is colorful and has enough buttons and spinning blocks for significant interaction.

I bought this for my friend's son's 1st birthday. What a hit it was with him and all the other kids, and even parents, at the party (some kids were 3 years old). Everyone enjoyed creating a different story and hearing the fun sounds and music. I have bought all 3 Thinkativity toys for myself or friends and they have all been a big hit.

Buy Thinkativity: Little Storyteller Now

So far, my 17 month old daughter has not shown that much interest in it, but that is not the toy's fault-she likes to grab her favorite real books and sit in our laps and have us read to her. But I think that she will grow into it over the next few months. I myself like the idea-she can sit and create her own stories while I get stuff done around the house, or perhaps while she is in the car seat (now that I've thought of it, I'll try that).

Precious moments Prayer Angel Boy - Spanish

Precious moments Prayer Angel Boy - SpanishMy son and daughter in law want to raise a bilingual child. Not only does this angel boy pray in Spanish but it also begins to tell the story of principles, morals and spirituality at a tender age. I raised my children with these prayers and even today they value passing them along to their own children. Lovely!

TagRattle developmental toy

TagRattle developmental toyThis was an awesome toy for my little one who is obbsessed with tags. It very quickly became her new favorite.

I gave this toy as a gift to a friend who had a baby last spring. As soon as we handed it to her (she is now about 8 months old) she immediately put it up to her face and started chewing on the colorful tags, it was so cute! It seems to be really well-made, very colorful, soft and easy to manipulate, even for a baby. I would recommend this cute toy, it's something different that not everyone has.

Edushape Mini Edu Soft and Flexible Blocks, Set of 52

Edushape Mini Edu Soft and Flexible Blocks, Set of 52We love these blocks, unfortunately we have had serious drama with the company we purchased them from but that is another story! The blocks are perfect for toddlers they are soft enough to stack, put together and take apart unassisted. We have had a lot of fun with these! You honestly need more than on set of 26 because you can't build a lot with that. None the less I would def. recommend them.

these are the best. its good to also purchase the train and/or zoo versions as the animals and wheeled parts are a nice addition

The blocks are pretty good although the smaller sized blocks will not stay on the larger sized blocks as well as they should. The bag is junk, way too small for putting all the blocks in and the zipper broke immediately. for the price the quality should be alot better.

Bright Starts Cruise N' Sort Bus Toy

Bright Starts Cruise N' Sort Bus ToyMy little girl loves this toy, but unfortunately she also loves chewing on the shapes which have stickers on them that'll get soggy and come off. Had to take them away so she wouldn't eat stickers and glue. And I have to admit, I didn't check for BPA or PVC ...

I orginally bought this item for a friend's baby and when I saw how much my son loved to play with it I bought him one for Christmas. It is his go to toy at the moment. He is 11 months. From a parent's perspective it is very versatile in that it teaches kids basic shapes as well as hand eye coordination. The only downside to this are the stickers on the shapes which come off very easily when they put it in their mouths. I would def get this for a friend.

Buy Bright Starts Cruise N' Sort Bus Toy Now

All of the pieces are constantly in my son's mouth, so I agree with the other reviewer that the stickers/glue on the shapes are problematic. Upon opening, we soaked off the stickers so that we didn't have to worry about it. I should first say that my son (14mo) loves this toy. He likes to put the pieces in the bus, open the top, and drive it around. For that, I'm glad we have it. However, it's a terrible shape sorter. You can fit the star through the square, the octagon through the circle, etc. So....it doesn't teach shapes. It teaches "push any piece hard enough and it will go through most holes." But, like I said, he does love it. I just don't understand why a shape sorter wouldn't be designed better for that purpose.

7-PC Wood Lacing Toy

7-PC Wood Lacing ToyThe lacing toy is good for keeping our 2-yr.-old son occupied during Mass in church on Sundays. It's hard to find much in the area of religious-themed toys that can be played with quietly in church, so this is very welcome. I was afraid a lacing toy might be more of a "girly" toy (think sewing or embroidering), but I forgot how much my son likes to stick things into other things (keys in keyholes, play screws and nails into pretend wood, etc.). These lacing cards fit that category for him.
