Black, White & Red Infant Stim Flashcards Set

Black, White & Red Infant Stim Flashcards SetThis is not a fantastic toy, just good. The red, black and white patterns were interesting for my infant, but the faces were useless and not clear emotional representations of the words used. The ring included was helpful but could have been better.

I read with interest the reviews posted about the baby images on these cards. I wanted to create a mobile to hang over my grandson's cradle and thought these cards would be perfect. The infant images are ok, but I took it a step further, to personalize the mobile. I took assorted mood photos of my grandson Gabe and cropped close ups to 4x4 size.

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.

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....

LeapFrog Learn & Groove™ Musical Table

LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical TableI got this toy for 9-month-old twins, but I was suprised to find that two to five-year-olds are also amused by it. I would not buy it specifically for older children, but if your baby has older siblings, this will be a hit with them as well.

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.

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?

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!

Nite Nite Lightzzz Maddie the Bunny

Nite Nite Lightzzz Maddie the BunnyWe've only had it for a few days, but my 3 year old loves her new bunny! The button is very easy for her to push on and off, and she got it right away when I told her how to push it again to stop on a certain color. It seems well made and it's nice and soft.

The first one I ordered the machine shop tightened the screws that open the battery compartment to tight and they stripped when i tried to remove the screws to insert the batteries. Amazon switched them out for us no charge. The second one the zipper that closes the battery compartment broke in one day.

WOW Dexter the Digger - Construction (5 Piece Set)

WOW Dexter the Digger - ConstructionMy son got this for his second birthday and almost 6 months later it is still by far his favorite toy! It is very sturdy (he puts all his weight on it while pushing it around) and has a nice "digging" movement. The rocks are lots of fun for him to put in all his other trucks as well. You can't tell in the picture but there is a little button in the back you can press to see the engine. He likes it so much he is getting the WOW recycling truck for Christmas.

Quality moving parts that actually lift the 'rocks' included. Good size for little hands. WOW toys are remarkable for their design and durability. These are great for boys or girls.

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.

This was perfect for my son's 4 year old friend for her birthday. Perfect for dress up or to wear over shorts or pants. Price point was perfect too!

Haba Ramba Zamba

Haba Ramba ZambaMy daughter enjoys this rattle for teething (especially those blue knobs on either end) and rattling. I appreciate that this is a quality-made item that is taking a good beating from my 7 month old (even with her new game of "make mama fetch my toy after throwing it on the ground"), and that this is a responsibly made toy i.e., this toy is NOT made of toxic or hazardous materials, potentially toxic materials, or made by slave or child labor. Of my daughter's various Haba toys, this is her current favorite.

Fave toy b/c it's an easy to hold safe teether with great colors /design, hand to hand manipulative, sound maker Ramba Zamba's top choice for 5-6 months++

I bought this toy along with Haba Ballino and Pipapo to replace my son's plastic toys. He has teeth and makes dents in everything. He has had it for over a week and still enjoys to hold, shake, and put it in his mouth. This is the only toy out of the 3 where the paint has chipped off on a couple of edges, maybe because they are not rounded like they are on Pipapo and Ballino. It still beats plastic toys, though.

This was my infant son's favorite toy. It is safe non-toxic wood and he liked to shake it. It has stimulating colors, similar to other Haba toys, but the noise and movement made this his favorite. We had some other wooden toys that were too heavy for him to manipulate but this is comparatively light and he was able to use it early on. I love Haba toys. Safely made in Germany.

Power Wheels Barbie Lil' Quad

Power Wheels Barbie Lil' QuadMy 2 year old daughter loves this. She rides it all over. Very strong toy. Has been dropped down the stairs on accident and still goes. Withstands weight of older kids that shouldn't be riding it too. My son has one of these too (the boy version) that is over 2 years old and it still works, although battery doesn't hold a charge very well anymore. We have taken that one camping in the sand and dirt and it did very well.

I bought this jeep for my 16 month old granddaughter for Christmas and she loves it. She jumped right on it, and at first when she pressed the button to go forward it jerked forward to quickly and scared her. I thought oh well, come spring time she'll get use to it. All of a sudden she jumps back on and took off down the hallway. She has to learn to steer it straight, but that will come in time. Grandpa says its easy to put together. Its durable and I think it will last a long time.

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 Refresh

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.

Gund Baby Pinkaboo Pony, PinkMy daughter really enjoys this toy! She likes all of the different textures and bright colors. She really enjoys the long tail to chew on.

This is a very cute horse I love it and so does my son. It is a great first plush for babies. The different fabrics (corduroy, soft velvet, and cotton) provide a great sensory experience for them and the sewn eyes and mouth ensure safety. I highly recommend this horse for girls and boys! I like it so much I have bought it for 3 of my friends who have had babies and they love it also.

VTech Catch-Me-Kitty

VTech Catch-Me-KittyWe bought this adorable kitty toy for our granddaughter's first birthday. She likes it, but not as much as we thought she might, but of course she's not old enough to tell us what she thinks about it......as for people hearing the word, "rape," well, I was surprised at that....we never heard the toy as saying anything other than "chase" and "race" and kitty speaks more clearly than a lot of people we have to deal with on a daily basis.....there is absolutely no "p" sound to be heard at all. Sometimes it seems like some people are always looking for what they can find wrong with everything and half the time, that in itself is what is wrong with this world in general.

My daughter got this for her first birthday, SHE LOVED IT! It has a sensor on the back and front so it dosnt bump into things and it spins around when it gets near an object (like a roomba), plays music (gets annoying, but she likes it so you can just tune out the music like on every other kids toy you have). Not very educational, but she she had fun chasing it around the house.... that is, she had fun for the two days it worked. As with anything, toddlers pick up there toys, and then usually drop or throw them. my daughter dropped this on the carpet twice, and it started to not work properly, started "stuttering" and freezeing. She dropped it on the hardwood once, and it stopped working all together. You would THINK they would make these more durable since they are intended for toddlers. I am so bummed, but I am not going to be buying another just for it to break.

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.

Want VTech Catch-Me-Kitty Discount?

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

Fisher-Price Disney's Finding Nemo GymMy twins love this gym . It is a bit smaller so I can't put both of them together and that is the only negative point I could find in it . Other wise they love kicking Squirt and love watching Nemo . I think they like their big eyes :) .

Despite being a little small in size I highly recommend this product

Great 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.

Bath Squirters: Ocean In Bag, 4 pc

Bath Squirters: Ocean In Bag, 4 pcThis is the 2nd set of Alex bath squirters that we've purchased. We really wanted the ocean animals to go with his bathtub. He loves playing with the toys, and his baths go a lot longer now. Really fast shipping on the company's part, too. We had the toys in 3 days from order.

My son loved these toys and used them every night in the bath. He would suck and chew on them. We would squeeze out the water after each use and one evening found that mold came out with the water. Make sure you adequately clean these toys after every use!

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.

Want Bath Squirters: Ocean In Bag, 4 pc Discount?

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

Blossoms Pacifier Chain by HabaIt really is! I like Haba products, but I had to return this one. The clip is not easy to use and the whole thing is just too big :(

This product is adorable. Baby loves to chew on it and we don't have to worry about plastics. She likes chewing on the toy more than the pacifier! We like it because we've been misplacing the paci around the house and this makes it hard to miss. We don't even have to clip it on, it's not going anywhere because it's nice and bright and big. But I do like the clip design.

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.
