Step2 Naturally Playful Sandbox
Crystalline silica, a colorless mineral, also called quartz, is an ingredient in sand, exposure to crystalline silica dust can cause lung diseases such as silicosis, inhaling airborne crystalline silica dust also has been associated with other diseases such as tuberculosis and lung cancer.

I want to thank M. Beatrice for planting the seed in my mind about "safe" play sand. I read the review, bought this sand box for my one-year old daughter and went to Home Depot to buy Play Sand. The label said it was specifically for use in sandboxes and washed, filtered, etc., so I bought four bags.When I was unloading it at home, the red warning label caught my eye "Warning: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer". I couldn't believe it, so checked the sand manufacturer's website and sure enough, it's silica sand, known to cause cancer. Good grief and it's legal to sell this stuff for children's sand boxes?
Yes, it's cheap, less than $20 for 200 lbs. But what price do we put on our kid's health? Back it goes and I begin my search for exorbitantly priced "safe sand". (For ideas, type in "safe play sand" in your search engine.) But who cares? At least I won't have to worry about my daughter spending hours playing in a toxic pit! Thanks again, M. Beatrice....My 2 year old son loves this sandbox! I chose it because of the natural color (we live in Texas and it seems the hot sun bleaches out most of his toys). Two children can easily play together in it because it's long rather than round or square. Also for the size, it's a really good value! We had his birthday party recently and had a bunch of one to four year old children really test it out so I know it's very durable! The lid fits securly and the little bit of rain or sprinkler water that has fallen on it has not seeped in. Niether have any bugs or animals so far! My nieghbor's 7 year old son likes it also, so it's good for all ages. I highly reccomend it!Never gets wet, never leaks, cover stays on through the harshest of weather! I am still impressed. Well worth every penny!!

Wet Wheels
So how do I rate the toy... it's a nice toy.. very simple and does all that it should do. Floats like it says... rolls like it says... and basically is a bath toy (duh!). Nothing special... but at 12 months, my kids would probably be happy with an empty plastic pop bottle in their bath. :-DThe picture had shown two toys when I bought this item and the title is Munchkin Wet Wheels Bath Toys which would also lead you to believe you would receive two toys. We only received the turtle and I thought there was a mistake with the order. I think $7.98 is too much money to spend on this bath toy. It would be a reasonable price if you received both toys.I bought this for my grand daughter last year for Christmas. It is a great bath toy but can also be played with at any time. She actually carried it in her purse. She likes to play with cars and things like her older cousin and this is so cute.This is my sons favorite bath toy. Very cute. As with all bath toys you just have to make sure they have a place to dry or it will get funky.

Optimus Prime Movie Deluxe Costume
HOWEVER, the minute he put on the mask he had a scratch under his eye and his chin from the CHEAPLY made mask.
The edges are dangerously sharp, so please warn your child when they play with it.
I had to take some clear tape and smooth out the eye holes and the chin and nose of the mask to make it less dangerous.
The costume itself is super thin and it is already unraveling.
I was hoping it would last until the 31st of October, but there is no way it will.
It is poorly made and my son dresses up in it all the time.
CAUTION:
If you decide to purchase this costume for your child, examine the mask for sharp edges around the eye, nose, and mouth/chin opening.
My son loves it. However, I would NEVER buy this again, nor would I recommend that anyone buys it. It is not worth the price.

We bought this for our son for Halloween. It is so cheap. The first time he wore it ripped under the arm. The material is so thin and the plastic pieces are sharp on the edges and cheap. I can't believe it cost $65 dollars. Trust me if you want to purchase this, it's not worth the money!Read Best Reviews of Optimus Prime Movie Deluxe Costume Here
Received costume minus the mask and chest plate. the 4 year old I bought it for isn't very happy. I have not contacted Amazon or the seller to inquire just found out last night that not everything was included with the order. It was a gift so when I received it I wrapped it gave it to the boy yesterday. Not much fun to have tears go along with a gift. the plastic is cheap and can be cut with scissors or ripped. Last year we bought darth vadar I was expecting the same quality of mask & chest plate as that this costume is a rip off for the price you'd be better off to get the transformer with the big piece of foam built in cheesy & pricey for what you get we sent it back!!Tuesday, May 6, 2014

My daughter is over 2 1/2 years and has this doll since she was a few months old. She had received it from her Grandma as a gift. It is her most favorite possesion in the world. She sleeps with it every night, has traveled overseas with it and it has also been a great help when she was transitioning to a new play group. The doll has gone thru the wash many times and it's still in decent condition. I'd like to buy my daughter and her new baby sister more of these Fisher Price dolls. It's an incredible doll! We love it!Want Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Doll Discount?

My daughter loves these clothes. She has her own overalls so she connects with this item very well. She is just two so she has trouble putting them on the doll by herself but with some help, she can do it. They are easy to put on and the quality is pretty nice but like real clothes, they are likely to deteriorate over time I suspect, especially the velcro to connect the straps. A good purchase nevertheless! It makes the doll much more fun!Sunday, April 20, 2014
Corolle Babicorolle Babipouce Flower - 12" Doll
She is very unique.She is cuddly and soft and just the right size for my grandchild to hold.
Although our child has other nice stuffed animals and a plush/stuffed crib "doll", she really prefers her Corolle doll.I love the detail of the dolls sweet face, and I think this is why my granddaughter is drawn to it too.
Another great feature is that this doll is safe for infants and washable.

We were at a toy store looking for a gift for a friend. To keep her busy, I gave my daughter this doll in a box to play with. When we were done with our shopping I tried to take it back from her and she started to absolutely WAIL and reach for her dear baby... She was only 9 months old and I had never seen her so excited and attached to any toy. So I ended up buying it for her. It is one of her favorite toys. She is 11 months old now and absolutely loves it.Read Best Reviews of Corolle Babicorolle Babipouce Flower - 12" Doll Here
I bought this for my daughter a few years ago. After a few years of wear and tear and many washes in the machine, the baby still looks great and has that "sweet smell" the babydoll has.

VTech - Musical Bubbles Octopus
Below you can read my original review, it was a 5 star review but now I have changed it to 3. Why the change to 3 stars...because they stopped working after a couple months of use...yes, I said they because after the 1st one stopped working we bought a second one since my girls loved the bubbles so much(and the first one had fell in the water one time but the 2nd one did NOT) With the first unit at first it was great, it made TONS of bubbles(as I stated below) even with cheap/crappy bubbles. It burns through batteries really quickly...my girls did use this everyday but for no more than 30 minutes at a time, most of the time less than that. If the batteries are weak, it will not blow bubbles so we were changing batteries a LOT. But soon, it wasn't even a battery problem, the bubble blower just wouldn't turn, it kept getting stuck when it did turn and it just wasn't blowing enough air to actually blow the bubbles. The rest of the machine works but not the bubble maker which is the whole reason to buy this toy. So we bought a 2nd one, I used good bubbles(good bubbles make even MORE bubbles, btw) and several times washed the bubble part. The new one still runs out of batteries super fast and it has already stopped blowing bubbles most of the time. It will occasionally start to turn and blow bubbles for a few minutes and then it will stop again...I didn't buy this for only a few minutes of occasional bubbles. So, based on the fact that 2 of them have quit working in such a short time, my review is now a 3 star and I would NOT recommend buying this toy now. I think we are going to buy our girls the Yookidoo Flow 'N' Fill Spout just search around for cheaper prices! I hate that these toys aren't better made because my girls really enjoyed them...and Vtech customer service is the worst, you may as well talk to the wall as opposed to trying to get any help from them.
**Original Review**
My girls received this as an early 2nd Birthday gift. They love taking baths and they are obsessed with bubbles. The instructions say to use a good bubble solution for best results but we only had some cheap, kind of crappy bubbles to use(it doesn't come with any bubbles so make sure you get some). WOW! I was amazed at the TONS of bubbles this thing makes, it just keeps blowing more and more bubbles. I'd say the bubbles are about the size of a quarter.
As another reviewer stated, this does need to be place somewhere that it can be suctioned on the wall AND sitting on a shelf. It only has 2 suction cups but it needed to have at least 3. Our shelf is low so the bubbles blow out right at eye level when my girls are standing and since they are curious critters they stand with their face right in front of the blowing bubbles and often get bubbles in their eyes. They also like to stick their fingers into the wands while the bubbles are coming out. After that bath we decided to try and move it a little higher so it would be out of eye level and they couldn't stick their fingers in the wands. About 5 minutes later we heard a thud and realized this had fallen off the wall. It fell and was completely submerged in water for several minutes but it still works perfectly fine. So it definately has to be place on the shelf, I would not want it falling on my daughters heads because it is kind of heavy and would definately hurt.
The 2nd time my girls used this they no longer tried to stick their fingers in the wands, they still stuck their faces in the direct path of the bubbles but they just think it is a blast. Their heads and bodies get covered in bubbles.
The 3rd time they used this they no longer stick their faces in the bubbles. They turn it on immediately when they get in the bath and if he turns off(if he isnt being touched to reserve battery life) they push the button to turn him right back on. They catch bubbles with cups, sing songs to the tunes and just love all the bubbles. If crappy bubbles make this many I can only imagine what a good bubble solution makes. My girls already loved bath time but this has only added to their fun and creativity in the tub!My daughter just got this toy for her second birthday. I was very excited to use it because she loves bubbles, music, and bath time so this seemed like the perfect toy for her. She absolutely loves it! It blows TONS of bubbles and plays lots of music. I expected there to be an issue because it's not supposed to be "fully submerged" in water (it is to be suctioned to the side of the tub) but my daughter never tried to pull it down, she just reached up to press the buttons and then giggled when the bubbles sprayed her! The only problem I had with this toy is that you cannot just suction cup it to any part of the tub. It pretty much has to have a ledge underneath it or it will fall down. Once we found the right spot for it it stopped falling down and now I have to say it was my daughter's favorite birthday present!

I couldn't get it to stay on the tub wall. It kept falling in the water. My son likes to play with it on the floor, but the bubble part only works if it is upright. Since I can not get it to say upright we only use it as a music toy and can not use the bubble machine.Read Best Reviews of VTech - Musical Bubbles Octopus Here
This is literally the biggest piece of garbage I have ever ever bought! The bubble part of it is constantly breaking! I actually returned my original "broken" octupus for a new one and that one stopped making bubbles as well! We tried everything...new bubbles, different location, etc.. all in all just a piece of garbage. I wrote to VTech and their customer service was ATROCIOUS! Told me to replace batteries, clean compartment w/an eraser, and to switch the on/off buttn 40 times...sadly I have a job and children so am unable to devote such time to fixing a poorly manufactured toy!Save your money and for $6 buy Gymboree Bubbles..now those are impressive!This toy could be a fun toy for toddlers in the bathtub; however, it has some major problems in my opinion. First off, it is very heavy, and no matter the surface, it will not stay stuck! This can be dangerous if it falls off and hits a young child, which it almost did with my 13 month old granddaughter. The small suction cups are not strong enough to adhere it to the bathtub OR the tile wall. And, when it falls, all of the liquid bubbles spill into the tub. I don't recommend it for children!!

This was a big hit at my son's party! It is 6 feet tall! Make sure to allow yourself enough time to set it up. In the product picture it looks like it's all one piece. Turns out it actually comes in 5 pieces. The top banner is 3 pieces. Elmo, Cookie Monster and "Happy Birthday" are all their own pieces. The bottom portion comes in 2 large parts. It's pretty easy to line up but does take some time. I would also recommend turning the flash off on your camera to use it for photos, as it does shine and the flash creates a glare.It was about the thickness of a thin tablecloth but worked perfect against a white wall. The kids loved getting their pictures taken next to the characters. I took it down carefully and refolded. Will definitely use again.Wednesday, November 13, 2013
Camden Rose Toddler Zoom
Jim A.My son is now 9 months old and technically still too young for this toy. He is able to carry it around easily because of the car window hole. He chews on it sometimes, though he seems to prefer chewing on about everything else (though he does love the maple teether). I believe this toy is more fun for me when I want to get his attention away from something else. I'm able to make vrmmmm sounds while moving the car about and he smiles. I'm sure once he does reach the toddling stage he'll be doing his own vrmmmming:D

We really like this sturdy little car...it has survived all sorts of abuse from my youngest child. The open hole for the window makes it really easy for a one-year old to grab and push around the floor!Will definitely be keeping my eyes open for more of these products. They make great gifts for all the special children in my life.My 2 year old loved this so much. I think it was his favorite toy this year. It is handmade in America. It made me feel good to buy and made my son happy as well.Tuesday, November 12, 2013

Michael Doll
Really appreciate finding a non-white doll for a little guy.
Thank you.My grandson loves his little Michael doll. It is perfect for a 6 month old--very soft and cuddly with a sweet expression on his face. Michael's color is just what I wanted for my bi-racial grandson. His grandfather and father weren't keen on a doll for a boy, but baby thinks Michael is his best pal.My 6 month old son really loves "Baby Michael". The doll is very soft but still wipes off easily. He is well stitched. I really appreciate the doll's color. He is a warm brown and is a good match for my biracial son. This is a great soft brown boy doll he is really cuddly!
