Buy Fisher-Price - Snap-Lock Beads Now
the snap blocks that I ordered were a lot larger than the ones I have now. I wanted them to add to the set I have. There was no description of size, etc. Also, there were only 12 blocks. THAT wasn't listed either. I wouldn't have ordered these if I had know these two facts.BlackSheep should be ashamed of themselves for selling at this price which is 4x more than everyone else's. Please check alternate listings...Its the best toy for such an unbeatable price, when I got it last year for my baby who is now 2 she had a blast. they can safely put them in their mouth, just watch out for the tips that snap together. Cleaning them is a breeze a little disinfecant spray and their on their way to lots of clean safe fun. Every baby should have this toy.Tuesday, August 19, 2014

Buy Fisher-Price Giggle Gang - Kiwi Now
The giggles are so cute. yes, babies love this toy. But, adults is who should be marketed to them...it will make you laugh out loud.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Giggle Gang - Kiwi Here
I first saw these toys in a store and fell in love with them because their bright colors and cute giggles just made me smile. You push the button on their belly but then you don't need to do more, they trigger each other to keep giggle, or if you touch or shake them a little, they're keep going.So we bought 4 of them so far, two for me and my boyfriend, two for my sister and her boyfriend.
I highly recommend it as a fun gift to anybody you'd want to cheer up. The giggle machine inside has 3 positions, one to turn it off and two to select volume, which I found very useful. The machine is also removable so you can wash the toy itself.
It's about the size of a big pomegranet (maybe even a tiny bigger), so with the machine inside it's not really a sleeping toy though.
You can find them in many different colors, each with different giggles, I'm definately buying them all :)Got this as a Christmas gift for my two month old and she LOVES IT!!! She is just starting to coo and every time I get this toy out, she just giggles along with it and melts my heart! I jus looked it up to buy it for a friend and I was a little surprised at the price, though. I feel that this toy will continue to bring my daughter joy for the months to come, though and even my 4 year old niece has one that she loves, so it's probably worth it. It has several different giggles and they are all soft in volume which is nice, and you don't really get overstimulated by it. It's a must-have for infants, in my opinion!

I purchased this set of pirate themed bath squirters to decorate my baby shower diaper cake. My pirate diaper cake was a huge hit and the squirters gave the cake a professional look. My guests couldn't believe I made the diaper cake myself. My son's nursery is also a pirate theme and once he's older I'm sure he'll enjoy playing with these pirate squirters during bathtime. The squirters were a good quality product and I'm very happy with my purchase.These are super cute and fun squirty toys! Who doesn't like pirates....really?!? I would have given the product a 5 star if they would have continued to sell the 'treasure chest' that is shown in the picture, even though the description is accurate stating the other 4 toys exactly. It's just that the treasure chest 'rounds out' the pirate theme. Maybe the picture should be changed. I'm actually using these toys as geocache swag and pirate travel tags companions as seen in my uploaded pictures. Who says, an old sea dog can't have creative fun with these too! I recommend you buy these.....or ye might find ye self walkin' the plank....Aaarrgh!Sunday, July 20, 2014
Battat Pump N Go Airplane
Buy Battat Pump N Go Airplane Now
I wonder if the reviewer below got a defective plane. Ours is fantastic. We just got it as a gift for our 14 month old. While he is too young to have figured it out already, I feel it's something he can do on his own. It does not feel difficult at all.The goal of this toy is that a child is suppose to be able to push the pilot down and then the airplane will roll on it's own. The target age is 18 months and older. I bought this for a 23 month old. However, as an adult, I, myself found you need to really put a bit of strength in pushing the pilot down. I even showed my husband and he said no way can a young child work this toy. You can move it around without pushing the pilot for imaginary play, but it only goes forward, if you try it move it backwards it will only go a very short distance because of the workings inside the toy. Typically a child would like to move a toy forward and back like a toy car, but not with this toy sadly. The child I bought it for got frustrated with this toy and ended up getting upset. The only positives I can say is that it is a very durable plastic and visually it's adorable. It's a shameBright Starts Rattle and Teethe, Pretty in Pink
My advice is to use this only if this teether cannot go inside a babies mouth from any length. The larger rounded teething end is no problem, because of its size.My mother-in-law bought this for my 5-month-old daughter who absolutely LOVES this! We've tried other teethers that my daughter just would not get interested in. The balls rattle and make enough noise that keeps her interested in it like "see what I can do!" The teether is strong and I can put the whole thing in the freezer if teething is bothering my baby. It's very easy for her to hold on to (or throw if she feels like playing her favorite game of Mommy-pick-up). The one my daughter has is green and pink instead of yellow in the middle and the hole is just big enough for her to get a solid grip with her thumb. If my baby is upset, I just shake this in front of her and her entire attention goes to the toy. Wonderful!

Buy VTech Infant Learning Light-up Learning Camera Now
We gave my 3 year old a real camera and for my 18 months one we got this, when you push the green button sounds like real click.Read Best Reviews of VTech Infant Learning Light-up Learning Camera Here
I should admit up front that I haven't liked any of the v tech toys my son has received. I feel like they are too busy, with too many noises and lights which seem unrelated to the skills they claim to be teaching, and that these attention-getters hypnotize instead of stimulate learning. That said, this one was the worst. I did give it 2 stars because the picture screen does show little moving "pictures" which is cute... if you can get it to work. The green ring around the "lens" is super-sensitive and the unbearably obnoxious little 1-6 counting song it plays will over-ride all other functions. No matter what my son tried to get the camera to do, he invariably would bump that knob and the screen would default to that awful song. This toy got "lost" really quick. I'm sure there are better camera toys on the market. Skip this one unless you enjoy having two line songs stuck in your head all day.Want VTech Infant Learning Light-up Learning Camera Discount?
I purchased this camera for my one year old granddaughter because she always wanted to grab her moms camera and try and take her picture. It was a huge hit with her! I do wish it was a bit smaller in size because it is clumsy for her. She will grow into it which is a plus.Saturday, July 12, 2014
Bearington Bear Baby Collection "Wee Lamby" Tiny Blanket
His head is too big and his small body. It is not comfortable to hold or sleep. As room decoration is beautiful, but my daughter does not give much attention to it, She's 2 years now and never slept with the lamb... I use to decorate the room...This item was purchased as a back up soother for my baby. The first one was a gift. We couldn't take a chance that something might happen to the first one. My daughter snuggles with her " lamby" for every nap and bedtime. The first one has held up well over 10 months. It is still super soft after several washes.

Every kid is different but our daughter just adores Lamby. She can't go to sleep without her. Never wanted a pacifier but she LOVES Lamby. She puts fingers in her mouth and snuggles with Lamby. It's a cute little snuggler for babies and has stood up to many trips through the wash and much abuse from our 1 year old daughter and her older brother. We just bought spares because... when she loses Lamby and needs to take a nap or go to bed, NOBODY in the house is happy. Can't guarantee your baby will latch on to it like our little one did, but it's a cute toy and very sweet. Worth a few bucks to find out!Read Best Reviews of Bearington Bear Baby Collection "Wee Lamby" Tiny Blanket Here
This is really cute and soft but my baby never took interest in it. She has so many toys from my family members. I have never seen her play with this one. So, it mostly just sits in the toy box.Want Bearington Bear Baby Collection "Wee Lamby" Tiny Blanket Discount?
The product itself is decent. It's very cute, very soft, and babies love it. My only qualm is that it comes in a plastic bag has been scotch taped shut and that looks terrible. If you are giving this as a gift you will have to repackage it in a gift bag or box. I don't know why Amazon has you rate the 'educational value' of items like this!Thursday, July 10, 2014
LeapFrog Imagination Desk Learning System
I purchased this portable coloring desk for my three year old daughter last Christmas who said "oooh, neat" then promptly set it aside as she became entranced with other trendier, flashier toys. A year later the majority of those flashy toys now reside in the bottom of her toy box while this desk gets trotted out almost daily. I have purchased several additional coloring pages along with the "On The Farm" cartridge because she loves it so much.
I like the fact that while she's coloring the cute and educational pages the toy "speaks" to her and teaches her important things like letters and numbers or, if she's in the mood, she can flick the switch and play a game (my six year old son prefers this button) or even have a song that matches the coloring sheet sung to her in a cute little voice. It's also very portable with a nifty little slot for the coloring pages and a holder for her crayons though I do wish it had a spot for extra cartridges (I solved this problem by buying her a companion tote for everything). And, after one year of constant use I still haven't had to replace batteries!
My only beef with this toy is that the plastic holder that you lift up to put in your coloring sheet often comes right off! The crayon holder cover also has this same problem. It is also difficult for little hands (and my slightly older ones!) to get the paper holder into the correct little grooves so the product will speak. My daughter cannot do this most times and even I sometimes have to try 3-4 times before I get it in correctly.
This toy is a great investment if you have a child who enjoys coloring. It may not get you that initial "wow!" when it's first opened (it's not Barbie or Pokemon, after all) but I can almost guarantee that it won't become another unused and lonely toy added to the collection sitting in the bottom of child's toy box. ~ Laurie ShallahWe bought this last year for our almost-three year old. It's a year later and she still loves it. Early on it took her a few tries to get the paper in just right, but it has been a favorite for whole year (coming from a child who changes favorites daily!)
It is easily portable, durable and has grown with her. Now that she has her letters and numbers down, we are working on telling time. She has even started spelling words from what she has learned about the sounds that letters make from the repetitive but effective letter song. You also can use blank paper and the music-only setting for free-form coloring and writing practice.
I do wish it held a few more crayons, but we just throw an extra pack in the bag. Another bonus: I haven't even had to replace the batteries yet!

I use this with my 2 year old(27 mo), and the level is about right, I think a child who knows their ABCs etc would not appreciate it, but my son who was reluctant to use crayons loves to hear pooh bear or tigger talk to him. So he spends 30-40 min at a time coloring which he would not do previously. The basic ABC sheets are not very interesting, but we color a few of those and then move on to Pooh bear each day and I guess some of the information sticks.For his age group, I have to play with him, but he is catching on to the go circle, and I am thrilled when he attempts to color within the lines, and matches specific colors with specific objects like yellow bananas... This is also a redesign. It does not have snap on templates with numbers, or the coloring template like the previous design. The blue lid which holds the coloring page in place does come off occasionally, but only if he tries to open and pry it off, not while coloring. I don't notice any problems with sensitivity so far, but if you are not right in the middle of an object, it won't identify it for you. Not a problem so far since he seems just too young for the game mode where this might lead to frustration.
For the future, I'm not sure if this toy will lead to independent play since you have to keep changing coloring sheets etc. All of which can lead to numerous toddler decisions and frustrations. Despite the high price, this is a great great way to encourage coloring / writing skills though for your boy who would much rather be playing with trains or cars.

My son received this for Christmas last year. As I was going through other LeapFrog items, I noticed that the Imagnination Desk didn't have 5 stars. I am amazed! The toy is great. My child has high functioning autism and it was the best way for him to learn his alphabet. In fact, he learned all of his letters and the sounds they make in only a few days. The visual and musical combination while using a motor skill, I guess is what did it. I have loaned out my son's desk to other special needs children and they have had similiar results. I love that you can directly print new coloring pages from the Internet. We haven't had any type of mechanical problems and the page is always on the correct sensors. Any child who has been to my house has gravitated to this toy. It is a winner and definitely worth the money.I got this for my son, It sounded great, but the cover that holds the paper keeps comming off and the cover for the crayons also kept comming off, and to keep putting paper in and out to color was just too much for kids. Maybe if they had a constant roll of paper with refills or even have it computerized it would work, but it wasn't built for young children.Wednesday, July 2, 2014

Ty beanies are top quality. My daughter has been collecting them for years. Even though she's almost a teenager now, the Ty beanies are still on her wishlist. This one is very cute, and it was just a little commemorative item for the 2008 presidential election.Read Best Reviews of Ty Beanie Babies 2.0 Lefty Patriotic Blue Donkey Here
Yes, we've won the election, but this lefty should not have gotten the nomination for 2008. It's not up to par of the previous beannie babies.On the rump, there is a lightning bolt 'hard sign' which cannot be removed. None of the other previous Lefty's which I have purchased had this mark. So I considered it rather unusual.
And because it is not connected to weathercasting, cannot be opened up for a 'suprise'...etc I feel it detracts from the product and product quality.
TY is apparently trying to promote themselves, apparently forgetting the company name is on the tush tag. In the 21st century, it's a given that any corporation has a website--which can be self-researched if we so desire.
I've never been a fanatical beannie babie collector. But if this is to be an ongoing trend, I certainly will stop collecting these.

Our 2 year old enjoys the stacking and actually realizes that the faces go on top (although sometimes upside down). Uses the string for pulling, too, as intended of course.
Not Made in China! and is going to make a great heirloom. Would recommend.Both my 6 year old and my nearly 3 year old still love this toy. The quality is excellent. The colors are vibrant and the little faces painted on the top pieces are very cute. There are lots of pieces so you really need to keep track while the kids are playing with this toy but you get that with many children's toys. I would highly recommend this product and this company overall.I bought this for my 16 month old son because he likes to take my dvds off the spindle and put them back on, which isn't so good. this is bigger then i expected and very durable. it has a low center of gravity, so it rolls nice. Not disappointed. A little pricey, but i love Haba toys.

Stacking Cups
I think it's the old tension between the toys that mama wants baby to like (natural colors, materials, eco-friendly) and the ones that babies actually end of liking(bright ugly primarly colors and made in China from questionable materials). Though the Kid O cups do come in nice colors Kid O Stack and Nest Cups (in warm colors)This is such a great, safe product for your little one. I am excited to have found this brand and have almost all of their toys for both my boys. I have thrown out our made in china versions for these safe ones. Now I am not worried when my 8 month old puts them in his mouth. And they are so much fun. I would totally recommend for anyone with little ones.I wish I'd known about Green toys long before now. They are so pretty and durable and feel so good in your hands. I just love sitting on the floor and stacking these up for my son. I can't wait until he can do it himself. I loved the packaging too. They were safe, but they were also so easy to remove. I wish more companies would do this. I wish more toy companies still made stuff in the USA too, so I plan to support Green Toys whenever I can.

Imaginext The Legend of King Arthur Sir Gawain vs. The Green Knight Figure Set
They don't really go with the castle because the feet are to small and can't work the platforms.
The figures are made out of a cheaper plastic and the swords are easily bend, the helmets don't fit right at all, and the detailes on the figures are a very poor paint job.
Not at all like the figures that came with the castle or the other additional packages we bought.
Of cause my boys still play with them, but I can tell they sure prefer the original figures. The difference sure surprised me since all of them are imaginext and fisher price, but I didn't get a chance to call about it yet. Maybe there are two different production lines out and the difference can be told by the UPC or somehow else.
Overall, I am extremely disappointed and wouldn't buy them again if I had the choiceI bought these for my two sons. Like the other reviewer, we have the Imaginext castle. These figures actually go with a previous "King Arthur" castle made by Fisher-Price. That's why they aren't a perfect match for the updated Imaginext castle. That doesn't get in the way of my boys' imaginations. They love the King Arthur tales, and they are familiar with Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The figures are plus to their already active imaginations, and they love staging battles. I wish Fisher-Price hadn't officially discontinued them. I love the fact that the kids can play with "literary" figures.

My son just received these blocks for Christmas and overall they are nice blocks. He already has some Little People toys and I like the fact that these blocks work with the others. My only complaint is that there are no long blocks in the collection. All my son can do is build stacks of blocks. There are no rectangular blocks to allow for building structures or tunnels or anything but straight towers. They don't really allow for a lot of creativity so I don't understand the purpose of them. Sorry.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Little People Builders Stack 'n Learn Alphabet Blocks Here
We bought this for our 16 month old son. The blocks are durable the only thing is they don't stay together. He can stack the blocks but there is no room for creativity as we thought these blocks would lock together, like Legos. So we mostly have a room filled with scattered blocks.Want Fisher-Price Little People Builders Stack 'n Learn Alphabet Blocks Discount?
I probably should have thought a bit more before getting this product. I saw it, saw letters and different colors, and just thought this would be a good idea. Not so much though. All of these different blocks stack my locking into either the one on top or below it kind of like legos, but some won't click together at all because its too loose of a connection. All of the letter blocks are the same size, so they only stack up. Meaning, you can't use them to try to build any kind of shape or do anything really creative with them. They may be great to work on colors or letters, but that said there are tons of products out there that work on colors and letters. All in all, I would suggest getting actual blocks instead of this.Saturday, February 8, 2014

I haven't quite figured out how it has 6 melodies, do you need to open the battery compartment to activate this or something? You pull the middle toy down and it plays the same thing.

This is perfect for keeping her little eyes and hands busy. My only complaint is she was able to pull one of the toys off the ribbons. She was about 9 months old when she did it so she wasn't earth shattering strong so I was a little disappointed. However, she has had it now for about 9 months and still enjoys playing with it.My little girl loves this car seat toy. I only wish there was an option for it to play longer. Also it would be nice if the velcro straps were a little tighter. Overall great product, I would buy it again.
