Buy Haba Flower Fairy Dangling figure Now
I got this from a friend as a gift and my baby loves this toy! We don't leave the house without it. She loves to shake it and chew on it and stretch it. She especially loves to chew on the the cloth "flower petal" like part on the head. The cloth part can stretch if you really tug at it but in the two months my baby has gummed and pulled on it daily it hasn't come off once.I really like the look/materials and construction of this toy. But was shocked to see the actual size. My daughter never really took to it. When she does play with it, the balls go right in her mouth so it does require a certain amount of supervision but they seem very secure. It's a really nice toy, I'm just disappointed in the lack of play it has received.Sunday, August 17, 2014

Teamson Kids Noahs Ark Potty Chair
Had the chair for about six months now. The paint is cracking in the seat area and the bottom of the chair feet are flared and the paint peeling. Regret making this purchase

Imaginarium Foam Building Blocks - 100 Pieces
Buy Imaginarium Foam Building Blocks - 100 Pieces Now
This review is based on my Toys-R-Us branded set of the Imaginarium 100-piece blocks.These blocks are durable and colorful. However, they are not uniform. The blocks are uneven sizes, perhaps 1/4" different between pieces. Big deal you say? The problem is that my 3-year-old is enthusiastic about building towers and castles but she can't get a structure of more than a few pieces tall before it falls.
I gave it a shot and did only marginally better than she did. Since the blocks are not identically-sized, any building made with them leans after stacking two or three on top of each other.
In my opinion, it is a detriment to have the child play with these because she thinks it is her own fault the tower falls down.
My recommendation is to buy a higher quality set or wooden blocks.

Grimm's Set of 5 Small Wooden Stacking & Nesting Rainbow Bowls, Red Outside
Buy Grimm's Set of 5 Small Wooden Stacking & Nesting Rainbow Bowls, Red Outside Now
These bowls are lightweight, colorful, and easy to grasp. My baby loves to play with these they are easy for him to manipulate, nice to chew on, and the bright colors capture his attention.I was coming to order this as a gift for a young nephew and after reading the reviews, I wanted to share our experience. I approach toy buying with a quality over quantity approach. My daughter received this toy when she was about 9 months old. It got used a lot until she was about 4. In combination with Grimm's Small Wooden 6-Piece Rainbow Conical Stacking Tower, Made in Germany and Haba Baby's First Blocks (or some other colorful blocks) there are a lot of possible ways of manipulating and arranging. Now that she's 6, these occasionally get used as bowls for feeding toy animals. They're really a great size for small hands.As far as the quality of them, I'm sure you could break them but we always taught our daughter to be careful with her toys (or tried to). After 6 years the colors still look lovely and if anything they've gotten smoother over time -though they were quite smooth to start.
Another reviewer mentioned Melissa and Doug. At a public playroom we visit we've gotten to see how their "wood" toys hold up. They're all made of engineered wood which after the finish is abraded you can see that they're more glue than wood.

Great for ages up to at least 4. Hours of fun stacking up and knocking over. Very durable product. A bit smaller in size than I anticipated.Friday, April 18, 2014

This toy is adorable, incredibly well made and my 14 month old son LOVES it! We have so many toys and every morning when he wakes up, this is the first toy he goes running for! He is learning how to push them so they pop out and and loves placing them back in the fire truck. I highly recommend this toy!!Want Pop Up Fire Truck Discount?
My 14 month old got this from Santa and he is in love with it. He carries the little people around with him and thinks it is SO funny when they get popped. It seems durable enough, the only concern I have is it looks like the paint isn't that durable.I am also disappointed that is made in China, but I didn't think to look when I was ordering. I'm just a little skeptical on China's paint quality control...It's not a deal breaker, and it's my fault for not looking.

150 Large 3.1" Crush-Proof Ball Pit Balls - non-PVC Phthalate Free Plastic in 5 Colors - Guaranteed
You'll notice similar reviews on this product from other people, and CMS regularly responds "This product was not purchase from CMS." Apparently we are all idiots and keep providing feedback to the wrong company. Look for CMS reviews on other products as well. You will see consistent problems.
Note: Product is made in China. Buy Made American made from an American company...don't waste your time with these people...We bought these for the "ball-pit" section of the Mega Playland kids toy and they were perfect. The balls that came with the playland were half the size. These large balls really are crush proof and not at all flimsy. Based on other reviews I knew in advance that these did not come with any type of carrying bag, so I purchased a mesh bag that works great. One of those mesh drawstring laundry bags would work well, but I actually ordered a mesh "boat bag" from amazon since it was black (hides dirt) and super study, and couldn't be more pleased. If you're looking for the best balls for your kid's ball-pit or play yards I highly recommend these!Our grandson is having so much fun with this product diving in the balls, throwin gthem around. They really are high quality and met all our expectations.We got these balls for our tunnel system because we read complaints about other balls getting crushed after being crawled/sat on. These balls are great. They definitely don't crush and are a good size. The colors are bright and good for teaching colors. The older kids throw them at each other and they're light and fairly soft so no one gets hurt. We have 650(!) of them in order to fill the tunnels but they're worth it.These are so quality. My 8 month old loves them. I am actually ordering more because I didnt order enough the first time

This was a gift and the birthday girl and her mom just loved it.

Lamaze Sydney and Sandy Kangaroo
Buy Lamaze Sydney and Sandy Kangaroo Now
My 5 1/2 month old daughter has enjoyed this toy since I first handed it to her at about 4 months. It has crinkly cellophane under all the non-red surfaces, so there is a quiet bit of noise there, and the rings on the tail make a gentle rattle. The best part, though, is that there are thick parts and thin parts, so there are plenty of good grab points, and the ears, nose, tail, and feet are all good (and apparently qualitatively different) spots for mouthing. The toy overall is a good size--not hard to find, but small enough for the average diaper bag. My only complaint is that I would like for the tether between the toy and the clip to be longer or stretchable. It is not as easy for my baby to manipulate when clipped to her stroller straps as I would like. Otherwise, highly recommended!My Grandson Loves all the Lamaze animal toys. He has 6. The red color gets his attention. He like to grab the little roo from the pouch and grab the Sandy's nose.My son loves this toy. He has a Pup squeak and a Mortimer moose as well, and although he likes both he reaches for the Sydney much more often. He may enjoy the Pup squeak when he gets a bit older and can make it bark on his own, however.Tuesday, January 7, 2014

Corolle Calin Laughing Bright - 12" Bald Baby with Blue Eyes
This doll is a great value, and I would recomend it to anyone as a toddler's first baby doll. My daughter has "bathed", fed, dressed, put to bed, strolled and traveled with this doll everyday for a year! But most important, she has learned how to love and care for something else. And that is priceless.I ordered this doll as a first birthday gift for my daughter. It seems like this doll was made just for her. It is the perfect size for her to carry around. It is also very durable. She also loves the way it smells. My older daughter even wanted to order one of these dolls for herself after she saw it! I thought it was well worth the price.

Considering all the concerns about the safety of toys made in China, I was happy to pay more for a doll made in France. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case as Corolle no longer makes the dolls in France, but in various countries in Asia and Europe. The one we ordered was made in China. The doll was cute as pictured and my daughter loves an older mini-Corolle that was passed down to her. This one is going back to Amazon though and I will continue to search for a doll that is not made in China.Read Best Reviews of Corolle Calin Laughing Bright - 12" Bald Baby with Blue Eyes Here
This baby doll is perfect for my twin grandsons who have a baby sister and love to cuddle their own "baby". The doll was a big hit on Christmas when we gave them to the boys. They carried them around, put them in a cart to take them for a ride and seemed to enjoy playing with them. They are just beginning "imaginative play". These dolls are good additions to their toy collection.Want Corolle Calin Laughing Bright - 12" Bald Baby with Blue Eyes Discount?
Corolle dolls in general are of higher quality than other baby dolls -they smell and look better, and are well-made. My toddler loves this doll and calls her "Lola."Sunday, October 27, 2013
Lamaze High-Contrast Bend and Squeak Toy
The green fabric hasn't held up very well; it's kind of pill-y and worn. Maybe that's in part, though, because I put it in the washing machine once. (It took a week or so for all the water to drain from the squeaker! Yes, I know, it's surface wash only. Other than that, the toy survived the wash well.)

This little penguin on a stick is so cute. I love it because it's easy enough for the baby to squeak themselves. Also, it's always a great trick when you need baby to look at the camera. Works every time!Read Best Reviews of Lamaze High-Contrast Bend and Squeak Toy Here
I really love penguins. This is the first rattle I bought for my daughter. She loves to suck in its beak and squeeze the handle (where the squeaker is). It's light enough that she was able to hold it at less than three months old.My son absolutely loves this thing, it does not leave his side. He got this for Christmas when he was a month old and now he's 11 months and he's still attached to it. I love how he crawls across the room with it in his hand, squeaking as he goes. It's soft, squishy and it makes a pleasant squeaking noise. I highly recommend this for any baby.Saturday, October 26, 2013

I just saw these little cars at a birthday party for a one year old. These are great! There were older children at the party and they were having a good time playing with the cars. The little cars are soft so if they are thrown or if they hit furniture on the floor there is no damage. Parents can remove the wheels to wash the cars. This was a very thoughtful and fun gift.Read Best Reviews of K's Kids Pull Back Autos Here
My 16-month old son just loves these cars. He is constantly playing with them and carries one of the cars with him at all times. These cars keep him active as he is constantly running after them. The cars do move with a lot of speed but not with a lot of force. When they crash into furniture or walls, there is no damage left behind.The fact that these vehicles are very easy to clean (machine washable) is a major plus. The cars are soft and plushy, which is great if your child decides to launch it as a missle.My son already loves these, and he's only 8 months old. He loves to watch them go, and can get ahold of the fabric cars and wheels. It's also great for me that they can be machine-washed! The pull-back mechanism works well; they travel very quickly on our wood floors and even some on our rugs.
