My daughter looked adorable in this costume. The material and construction were good. She would be able to wear it many times. The lace on the skirt was a little smaller than it appeared in the picture.Read Best Reviews of Lucky Leprechaun Child Costume - Kid's Costumes Here

Black, White & Red Infant Stim Flashcards Set
These were printed on sticker paper and I just placed them over the images on the cards! These can be changed to anything you like-animals, graphics or the theme of the nursery.
The cards are hung from a purchased photo mobile kit, but you could cut wire hangers to create your own.
I can't wait to see his reaction to the bright graphics and photos of his own face!

I recently bought this and made the cards into a mobile using a Kikkerland wire mobile. The Kikkerland is pretty hard to use with these cards because it's difficult to get the cards to lay flat (facing down toward baby), but once you get them the flashcards are great!My 2 month old stares up at the shapes, smiling. She giggles and coos and will gladly look at the shapes for 20 minutes or more.
The one negative, as other commenters have pointed out, is that the faces don't make much sense. They are printed really poorly (they have weird color casts over them so the baby faces are green, red, blue, etc) and are not nice to look at.
I would have given this 5 stars if they had printed other shapes on both sides, instead of the faces.

My three month old was not as interested in these flash cards as I anticipated. Also the photo quality of the baby's faces was poor.Want Black, White & Red Infant Stim Flashcards Set Discount?
We only used the side with the red-black-white shapes.Kept the little one interested for the past two days but not sure if it will continue to be interesting in a week's time....
still, this was a decent buy for this price.

LeapFrog Learn & Groove™ Musical Table
It can become a hazard once your child is able to climb. It can become a stepping stool onto higher, dangerous places (like bookshelves and toy cabinets).
Other than that, it is a fantastic toy. There is a variety of music in there, so it is not as annoying for parents as some other electronic toys. It is also very sturdy. Ours has been through some serious abuse (it has even gotten soaked in the rain) and it still works well. Despite all the keys and buttons, it is fairly easy to clean.I bought this table for my 7 month old since I had owned a previous version of the same thing (minus the Spanish part). Unfortunately I gave it away, so I recently purchased it again. The main board itself is great, fun, and keeps the attention of the little one. The bilingual addition to this toy is fantastic. It has a great variety of activities/sounds so not only is the little one entertained by it, parents don't have to hear the same things over and over again.
However, the legs feel really flimsy this time around. The older version had extra stabilizing 'feet' when you add the legs so there would be less tendency to tip over. I don't know why they decided to stop making them with this feature other than a cost issue on their end. Also, some of the new versions do not have the tabs on the legs, so once you attach the legs on, you cannot remove them. Which is again strange since they claim on the box that you can remove them. (apparently, the Leapfrog Company has told people to return this version to the store and get one with the tabs, but good luck finding one with tabs) The plastic legs are also more prone to bend in places it's not supposed to bend(I found this out when I tried to remove the legs.) Luckily, I was able to exchange it out as my baby doesn't stand up yet.
So, in summary, if you want to buy this table and your little one is still not ready to stand, check to see which type of legs the table comes with. If it has the tabs, you are in luck. If it doesn't, do not put the legs on until your little one is ready to stand.

My mom bought this table and I bought a Fisher Price table. The kids love the Leap Frog Table and hate the Fisher Price one. The Leap Frog one is awesome! It has two options, words or music. So for the little ones to whom words don't mean much, you can use the music reinforcement and my toddler (age 2) likes the word option now. Great for around age 8 months when they start pulling up to stand. Love Love Love this table.Read Best Reviews of LeapFrog Learn & Groove™ Musical Table Here
I was mildly disappointed that the the audio cuts in an out after a few months of use. I was looking for a solution, when I ran into a report that states this toy contains lead, bromine and arsenic!!! This is terrible in a child's toy, how can this go into production?SOURCE
Potential Hazard Category: Contains Potentially Toxic Chemicals
Toy Name: Learn and Groove Musical Table
Manufacturer: Leap Frog
Potential Hazard Description: 2009 laboratory tests of this product found high levels of bromine and low levels of lead and arsenic. Please see the toxic chemi-cals key at the end of this report for more information.My daughter just got this for her first birthday and she loves it! Everything you touch on this table makes a noise we especially love the trombone and the banjo. As you flip the pages to the "book" in the middle of the table, the songs and the sounds change. There are lots of movable parts for the kids to play with the slide on the trombone moves, there is a slide on the violin, the banjo has a lever to pull, there is a barrel to roll, pages of the book to turn, shapes to press, and a compartment to open. It is very colorful and very sturdy, too. I would DEFINTELY reccomend this toy!

WOW Dexter the Digger - Construction (5 Piece Set)
Buy WOW Dexter the Digger - Construction (5 Piece Set) Now
This is a cute toy with two major negatives:1. It works great to scoop plastic rocks, but is not made for the sandbox because the lever that works the boom will get jammed with sand. A digger that you can only use inside? A bit of a let-down.
2. It doesn't rotate. Excavators are supposed to spin all the way around so you can scoop, rotate, dump, repeat. This one is fixed, despite the promotional animated video of the toy in which it does rotate.
3. Also, it's on wheels, not tracks. Excavators normally have tracks.
This is a cute toy and quite sturdy, and it is fun to play with (indoors), but if your child is really into trucks I would recommend a more realistic excavator.

We added this digger to our son's WOW collection at Christmas. This is a great toy with a large enough bucket that you can actually scoop things up (unlikely many other digger toys). The detail on this toy is great and I love that it has no batteries. My son loves the little people that come with the WOW toys.Want WOW Dexter the Digger - Construction (5 Piece Set) Discount?
Boys and diggers, must be in the genes. We looked at many diggers at the store and he wanted this specific one. So, once again Amazon had the best pricing and we awaited it's arrival. Digger Dan (the operator) and Dexter the digger have been a daily center of attention for my son. When we are away from home and the digger doesn't accompany us, it is the first thing that he has to see when we return. Yes it's a bit pricey and there are a couple areas where fingers need to avoid, but WOW, what a lot of fun to be had.Monday, April 21, 2014

Power Wheels Barbie Lil' Quad
Buy Power Wheels Barbie Lil' Quad Now
I bought this for my daughter's 2nd b-day. It is super cute, durable, and just the right size for her; however, she road it for about five minutes and now won't get on it. I think because she kept pushing the "on" switch versus holding it in the "on" position and it would jerk her back and forth that it may have scared her. She may be a little young for this now but I think in a few months she will like it. Fisher-Price Power Wheels Toddler Series Girl's Lil Quad RefreshWe bought this item for our one year old and she absolutely loves it. She loves to sit and play on it all the time now. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone interested in purchasing. Easy to assemble, sturdy, and most important of all our kid really enjoys this toy. Only thing I would recommend is that you take time when applying the stickers as they have a tendency to "ripple" when applying to the contoured surfaces.We bought this quad for my 19 month old for Christmas, and she absolutely loves it. Not only has it been a joy to her, but my 4 year old loves riding it too. I was surprised at how much power this thing has as my 4 year old is able to cruise acrfess the grass on it. If you are looking for an inexpensive quad for your little one this one is a sure buy.Tuesday, March 11, 2014

VTech Catch-Me-Kitty
The voice even says "chase me" and when you pick it up it says "weeeeeee" so the designers knew that little kids would be roughousing with it, so it ought to be more durable.
Too bad, cuz untill it broke, she really had fun with it. Dont waste your money.I almost missed out on a great toy from reading all the negative comments about this toy. My 1 year old twin nieces loved this toy from the moment I took it out of the box. They were laughing and chasing after this cute little cat. I love the fact that this toy turns around on its own if it get trapped into a corner. It was fun watching my nieces play nonstop with this toy. It also tired them out lol! I did not hear anything alarming in the song. I am so glad I bought this toy. This toy was well worth it.I bought this for my daughter when she was about 8 months and was just really starting to crawl like crazy. I thought it would be fun for her to chase after it. This little kitten is so cute! It doesn't offer much for educational purposes a few nursery rhymes and that's about it but runs really well. Unlike other reviewers, mine has not had many mechanical problems yet. I've had it for about three months and my daughter drops it and has not been gentle with it. The toy runs really smoothly on tile floors and the sensor does a great job of sensing objects around it including baby. That keeps the kitty running away from baby and baby chasing after the kitty. It runs slightly less smoothly on my area rugs, but that's to be expected. All in all, I really liked this toy. Unfortunately, my daughter lost interest quickly. She loved it the first day, but now just picks it up every so often and moves on rather quickly.We got this toy for Christmas for our son, only to have everyone in the room gasp when the kitty started singing "Chase me, Race me". The S's and C's are not well heard on ours, so it sounds like she is singing "Cha me, rape me". I'm going to contact V-Tech and let them know. I don't think this is intentional by any means, but our kitty is not a very good kitty for him.

Fisher-Price Disney's Finding Nemo Gym
Despite being a little small in size I highly recommend this productGreat little play gym... My little guy loves to kick squirt and make nemo "swim" the tunes are pretty good.. I think there are 3?? Only problem is my lil guy is pretty long 27in and there's no way to extend the "arms" if u will so that the arch is overhead, which is a shame because he doesn't need to look up to play with the hanging toys. Can't hav everything I guess. I would buy it again simply because the colors are normal and not obnoxious and the toys are pretty nice.

Buy Bath Squirters: Ocean In Bag, 4 pc Now
These are cute bath toys, and so far I haven't seen them get mildewy on the inside like some of my daughter's other squeezy bath toys. However, they are difficult for her to squeeze and get the water to come out. I'm sure as she gets older and stronger, that won't be an issue, but by then I am not sure they will be of as much interest anymore.Read Best Reviews of Bath Squirters: Ocean In Bag, 4 pc Here

My little ones all seem to love bath toys and these were their favorites. The one problem, they all got moldy. At first, I threw out toy after toy, and then one day, I started cleaning them with a simple bleach solution. I just filled my sink with ater, pured a small about (about 1/4 of a cup or so your bleach will usually have a recommendation on the back of the bleach) in and "cleaned" the toys by filling them about halfway and shaking the solution around. It kills the mold and cleans the toys. Just make sure to rinse them thoroughly inside and out after you are finished with the bleach. It takes a litte while, but the bleach not only removes mold, but usually prevents it at least for a littel while.I am happy to say that I stopped throwing out these littls and I still have my "bath squirters". The kids just love to play with them in the tub, aim them at the shower wall and when we are doing a bubble bath, they "knock out" the bubbles. Cute, durable and fun. Can't beat it.

Blossoms Pacifier Chain by Haba
Buy Blossoms Pacifier Chain by Haba Now
The design is very adorable and hard to be misplaced. However, the whole chain is quite big. I bought some soothie pacifiers and the hole is way too small to loop the chain in. I managed to looped it in but the thought of removing it..it was just eaier to leave it on that specific pacifier. It works good on other pacifiers such as NUK, Playtex binky, ect... Also because it is big and bulky, sometimes the clip cannot stay put so I would recommend to buy it for your baby once he/she can hold on to it.This was the best pacifier chain we owned. My daughter loved it. Played with it more than many of her toys. It was in her mouth more than the pacifier. We wouldn't leave home without it. Used it til she gave up pacifiers. I highly recommend it.We have had this chain for our daughter for a while and get lots of compliments on it. She is teething now and loves to chew on it more than the paci itself. Since it is made of Beechwood and non toxic colors I don't have to worry. We are getting more for the car and grandma's house.
