Winnie the Pooh Full Body Puppet

Winnie the Pooh Full Body PuppetThis Winnie the Pooh puppet is very cute and cuddly. My 6 month old loves when we play with it. The only comment I'd have for those considering purchasing is that you can only move Pooh's mouth. You cannot put your finger & thumb in his arms like most puppets. I was disappointed when I first put it on but my son doesn't know the difference so it's still a great toy for us.

This Winnie the Pooh Puppet by Gund is well-made and fun to play with. He's also very soft and cuddly!

Kushies Zolo Ha Ha

Kushies Zolo Ha Ha SpringoThis is a cute rattle. My daughter is interested in it despite the previous review. Toys are toys. Sometimes kids are into them sometimes they're not. Either way this rattle is cute. I also like that it has the crinkle material to add to her sensory experience.

I purchased these rattles for my daughter after reading a rave review about them. I was quite disappointed. My daughter had little if any interest in them. They are made of that type of fabric that all hair and lint sticks to so anytime I gave them to her I had to first use the lint brush on them. They were OK I suppose but there was just nothing special or interesting about them. They became one of those items that sits in the bottom of the pile, unused and untouched-but still hairy. I would pass on these.

The Zolo Haha mirror toy has a really small mirror which produces images of significant distortion. May be good for another perspective if a baby has other mirror choices but this should not be a child's only mirror toy.

Bunnies By The Bay - Bud Buddy Blanket - Blue

Bunnies By The Bay - Bud Buddy Blanket - BlueMy son loves this bunny lovie! It's very soft and the blanket part is velvet and satin. He likes the texture. I wish it was washer safe tho, as I'm not a fan of handwashing. He likes to chew on the bunny head because it's soft and cushy. He's 6 months old now, but has liked holding on to it since he was about a month old.

Haba Ladybug Pacifier Chain

Haba Ladybug Pacifier ChainThe Haba line of pacifier chains are top notch! We've had 3 different types, and I'm impressed with each. One we've had for over a year and it's begun to stretch out a little bit. The clasp is not as tight but still works well. Occasionally, I'll pop these in the dishwasher if they need a deep clean. I have gotten so many compliments from these. I've even had to order a couple for other people. They look amazing. Note: some haba chains are short and some are long, make sure you check the dimensions!

We used this chain pretty heavily for about 3 months. However, after repeated washing, the wood has started to split and crack and it can no longer be used.

The paint has faded a tad from constant gnawing, but my daughter loves this pacifier chain. It is also very cute.

I like that it is long enough that it rarely gets caught up so that she can't get her binky to her mouth, and short enough that it doesn't tangle. The clip is sturdy and we use it every day. She can always find her binky to put it back in her mouth.

My only minor complaint might be that it is a pain to get a binky on and off, you have to loop it through the chain itself... but it isn't enough to make me mark it down... this chain has been a lifesaver.

I love all our Haba toys (thank you, friends + family) and when I needed a binky-chain this was the one for us. Adorable design, solid, and simple to use. A little pricy, but you get what you pay for. Still works nine months later and no failings with the clasp, the string threaded through the wooden beads, the beads, all of it still as good as new. Baby liked teething on the beads a bit. Best of all, I wanted a chain that would be long enough to clip straight down on her clothes so she wouldn't risk any strangling and wouldn't fiddle with the clasp. This was the one! Sadly we are now broken of our binky habit but I still carry the beads and am thinking of threading a rattle or other toy, or using it with a snack trap to keep from getting thrown on the floor while in transit.

Baby Einstein Discovery Dragon

Baby Einstein Discovery DragonI bought this for my 1-year-old daughter for Christmas and she really loved it. It is one of the few products that I can find that will play in French. The problem is that only one paw will play now. I replaced the battery and it didn't help. It was lightly played with and it's such a shame that it only lasted for a couple of months.

Baby Einstein is really popular now and I was very pleased with the value that I got on this product. I bought it for my grandson who is 10 months old and he loves it. I was particularly pleased with the fact that you can change the language from English to Spanish, as my son-in-law is Puerto Rican and wants to teach him Spanish. (It also has French included, too.) I didn't realize that when I purchased and it was a huge bonus!

Plush Baby Blue Giraffe with Brown Polka Dots and Striped Legs

Plush Baby Blue Giraffe with Brown Polka Dots and Striped LegsI already knew what to expect when ordering this product~ My two year old nephew had an identical stuffed giraffe since birth that he carried with him everywhere; it was the Hobbes to his inner Calvin. When it turned up missing after a trip to the grocery store, my sister sped back to retrace our path, while I jumped onto Amazon to look for a duplicate, just in case. I was so relieved to find a dopple-ganger! We ordered it, and were crushed to see the expected delivery was six to nine days away (spanning a weekend). To our joy, Giraffe 'returned from his trip' in only five days!

Quick delivery was my top priority, and I wasn't disappointed!

Electronic Kid's Sing Along Recordable Toy Microphone by B. Okiedeokie - Papaya

Electronic Kid's Sing Along Recordable Toy Microphone by B. Okiedeokie - PapayaWe purchased this for our Daughter to replace the yellow one she owned made by Parents. The Parents one worked Great & basically is the exact same microphone. Our Daughter only likes PINK & wanted this one because it was prettier than her yellow one. We could not find one that RECORDS made in PINK. The Parents one has better sound quality! So we sacrificed sound quality for a prettier microphone. But she still uses it daily! The record feature is wonderful!

I am glad I decided to make sure this toy worked before I gave it to my children. (I bought 2 of them.) The only way to amplify your voice is to talk directly into the top of the microphone and your mouth has be be touching the mic. I am returning both microphones.

My two year old daughter loves to sing along to all of the little songs this plays, and puts on little shows for family when they come over. It is a really nice size, and is easy for her tiny hands to find the right buttons, she just needs help turning it on, but can turn it off all by herself. The volume knob on the bottom is a really nice feature, I could do without the slow down/speed up feature.

Mary Meyer Cheery Cheeks Hooray Horse, 12"

Mary Meyer Cheery Cheeks Hooray Horse, 12'This little horse is my 13 month old daughter's FAVORITE toy. Purchased as a gift, when I gave it to her she grabbed her, hugged her and hasn't let go since. We've named her Cheryl and she has been a wonderful addition to our little one's daily activities. At one point we realized it's all fun and games until someone pukes on Cheryl and she was going to need a little more than a simple wipe down. I popped her in a mesh bag and washed her on gentle cycle in the washer, air dried her and she was as good as new she's a tough little horse! Mary Meyer plush toys have proven to be of very high quality and we have been thrilled all of the toys we have from them!

Kushies Pupa Build and Stick Musical Caterpillar

Kushies Pupa Build and Stick Musical CaterpillarI LOVED the idea of the pupa it even comes with color coded dots to show you how to play a few simple songs, but was sorely disappointed when we received it in the mail. Within 3 days 3 of the balls had stopped working (one had gotten stuck on the tone and I had to slam it down to get it to stop) and one had changed tones. Plus the balls got lost all over the house once my baby started playing with them. I will say, however, that Kushies' customer service is INCREDIBLE. Within 24 hours of filing my complaint I had an answer and they are sending me a new toy for free. I chose a different one, obviously, but have not yet received it. I would def buy from them again because of my cust serv experience. She said it was VERY rare that almost all the balls stopped working, so maybe I got a super dud and others are great. Good luck!

What a great idea! This is one toy that my 8 month old daughter and I both enjoy. Each ball has a different tone do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do. I play twinkle twinkle and other tunes. However...the 'do' ball was broken when it arrived. Although returned and working, for $60 this toy should be more durable.

VTech Pop and Count Vacuum Push Toy

VTech Pop and Count Vacuum Push Toyi try to take reviews with a grain of salt. but this toy is not worth the money. it's cute in the box but that's about as good as it gets. it does not stand up by itself, and it's not easy for a 12 month old to push. My baby likes to push the button and lift the lid to get the blocks out. my 2 yr old tried pushing it around, and gave up quickly! i am bummed that we wasted our money on this toy.

My daughter got this as a gift for her 1st birthday. She loves it! It's one of her favorite toys. It pushes very well on our carpet and it does stand on it's own so I think they must have made some improvements. She pushes it around just fine. It also grabs the blocks up perfectly. The music and sounds are fun too. We love this toy.

Buy VTech Pop and Count Vacuum Push Toy Now

Vac handle falls down too readily. Would like to see an easier upright balance allowing for the vacuum to be parked/stored in the upright position without having to prop it up. Two year old enjoys pushing it and mastered pick up of the colored blocks readily. Would like to see a yellow block as well.

Read Best Reviews of VTech Pop and Count Vacuum Push Toy Here

This toy is obnoxious and impossible to use. The vacuum is hard to push on carpet and hardwood and will not pick up the blocks. Plus, if you don't immediately turn it off, it will randomly sing 20 minutes later and scare the crap out of you.

Received this as a gift for my daughter's first birthday. It is difficult to push on carpet and won't stand on its own. Basically she only uses it by pressing the buttons. Her fingers got caught in the rotating pieces within 5 minutes. A really bad product.

Haba Jungle Caboodle Pram Decorations

Haba Jungle Caboodle Pram DecorationsThe list price on this item is completely fabricated on haba's website the item is valued at $24.99. They are making it seem like you are getting a fantastic deal when really you are saving $2.

I was looking long and hard for toys not made in China which is not easy to find. When I found Haba I was excited that all their wooden toys are made in Germany with safe paint. Germany has the highest standards in safety for children's toys. I love this pram decoration. It's colorful, makes noise and cute, my son loves it. I use it for his stroller, bed, and his swing chair. I would have loved it more if more of the toys were making different kind of noise but the palm is the only one that has a bell.

Flapsi Rattling figure

Flapsi Rattling figureThis is not our sons favorite toy, however it is the best toy for on the go. It's very sturdy, compact, and entertaining. The age he enjoyed it the most was from 12mo 14mo. But I still keep it in the diaper bag for emergency mall entertainment purposes, and it sill keeps him entertained (16 months). Good buy.

My kids love these toys, and they last forever... I'm planning on keeping all of my haba toys as heirlooms, because they are such amazing quality I want to pass them down to my grandkids, unlike all the other plastic junk out there... LOVE THEM!

I love the Haba toys. Flapsi is especially cute and well-made. My son is 9 weeks old and is stating to grab at it. It makes a very satisfying clanking noise when shaken. This will be a great toy for him for a few months. Also no need to worry about chemicals in plastics or paints, as it's made of wood and is painted with water-based laquer.

Sing Me to Sleep Pooh

Sing Me to Sleep PoohI love this wonderful pooh and piglet bedtime soother. My son got this for Christmas when he was 5 months old. He loves it and so do I. He really enjoys chewing on piglet's little ears since he is now teething. The remote is wonderful so you don't have to go back into the room and worry about the baby seeing you. It's so relaxing I even love to listen to it. We took it on a long 15 hour trip and it was a lifesaver. Anytime our son got fussy we would just put it on and I could start it up again from the front seat using the remote without having to reach back and get the toy! Once we were at our destination we thought our son would have a hard time sleeping since he was not at home in his crib but having Pooh made him feel like he was home and he would drift off to sleep every time! I highly recommend this to everyone and plan on buying one for my sister who has a hard time getting her baby to sleep. This toy is worth every penny. One last note, I read another review that said this toy goes through batteries quickly but in all honesty we have not had that problem. We use it constantly and have only changed the batteries once since Christmas and even if we had to change them more often, I wouldn't complain because it's so worth it!

My five-month-old daughter received this as a Christmas gift, and it has been WONDERFUL. She has always been fairly easy to put to bed, but now it is a breeze with Pooh. Instead of fumbling for an on/off switch, you just tap the pillow to turn it on (which she has done herself inadvertantly while fussing in the middle of the night and subsequently gotten herself calmed down without my getting up). Pooh then sings a sweet lullaby and a soft night light comes on. Next, several songs without words follow, and every couple songs the night light dims gradually until it finally goes out. At that point, there are soft nature sounds accompanied by one or two more songs before it turns itself off. And the remote lets you start from whichever point you like, with Pooh singing plus the light, with the songs and light but no singing, or the nature sounds and music with no light. It is just an absolutely adorable toy, and my two older children love to hear Pooh singing, also. As far as the "hard, plastic pillow" mentioned in another review, this has not been a problem at all. The pillow is covered adequately with a soft filling and cotton cover and I do not see how it could hurt her. She has even reached over and grabbed Pooh and brought the whole thing over onto her mouth to chew on, and it hasn't hurt her yet. I love this toy and I really think these lullabies will be something she equates with soothing, pleasant bedtimes for years to come.

Buy Sing Me to Sleep Pooh Now

I bought this for my grandchild when he was 8 months old. We had to go out of town and we were leaving him with a friend who had two small children. He took it to bed each night and it gave him great comfort. He has continued to "sleep" with it every night for the past 10 months. He also enjoys it when he is playing in his room. He frequently hits the button for backgroup music and likes to operate the remote control (which is a great feature) to change the "channels".

My second grandchild is 1 month old. When she was at our house, she was having trouble sleeping in the port-a-crib so I put Pooh and Piglet in with her and played the lullabys. She immediately calmed down and drifted off to sleep. Later, when checking on her, I smilingly noticed that she was holding on to Piglet. She now has her own.

This is such a special toy in our family. The on/off switch, the remote control and the number of choices make it very versatile. I would recommend it highly particularly as a baby shower gift.

The only negative the bulb is not replaceable. When it burns out the night-light effect goes with it; however, we have been operating it daily for 10 months and the bulb is still going strong.

Read Best Reviews of Sing Me to Sleep Pooh Here

I recieved this Pooh Bear as a gift from a friend off of my baby registry--I've never been a big Pooh fan or anything, but this toy had changed that!

The toy is soft and plush and heavy enough that baby cannot pull it onto her head or smother herself or any of those scary things. It's a little large but it fits perfectly at the head of her cradle.

By tapping a button inside the pillow, you start off a long set of music beginning with Pooh and Piglet singing, then some various classical lullabye music, and finally some soft nature sounds (birds chirping and such) interspersed with lullabyes. I didn't find the music to be too loud at all. Also, as the tunes progress, a bright nightlight in the pillow dims slowly and finally shuts off.

It also comes with a remote control, with various buttons to choose from starting the lullabye set from the beginning, middle or end. The remote control is an awesome feature, as it allows me to be more lazy and shut the toy off from the doorway, hehe. The only reason I didn't give this item five stars is because after a week of use the remote stopped working for me--It used to start songs automatically, but now I have to start the toy by pushing the button on the pillow. I can still switch songs with the remote though, I just can't turn the toy on with it.

Want Sing Me to Sleep Pooh Discount?

My 3-month old daughter LOVES this toy! When I put her down to sleep, I tell her that Pooh is going to sing to her and she squeals and giggles. And it really works! It starts out with an adorable lullaby (that I find myself singing to myself throughout the day) then moves on to just music. The music progressively gets softer and slower, and the nightlight progressively dims. My daughter always falls asleep before it ends. It's amazing! I especially love it because I am able to put my daughter in her crib while she's still awake, and it helps soothe her while she learns to fall asleep on her own. Perfect choice for a baby shower!!!

Fisher Price My First Dollhouse: Caucasian Family

Fisher Price My First Dollhouse: Caucasian FamilyNormally, these would go with the My First Dollhouse. However, we have a little boy (and limited space). He is interested in family but does not want/need a dollhouse. We got him the African American family and a few rooms of furniture a while back, and he loves playing with them on the floor. (The family often gets to ride in his remote control Jeep!) The new ones are neighbors for the original family. They are well made and resistant to a lot of abuse from little hands and mouths. They sit a little funny because of the straight legs, but the furniture is made to accommodate them well. Throw the family and a few pieces of furniture in a bag for an easy travel toy.

So I saw this doll set on Google Shopping listed for $14.95. When I clicked the link I found that the item was actually listed for $39.00. Seriously? Over twice as much? And as you can see from the review dated Nov 10, 2011, just 4 months ago this set was $13 cheaper. And even that was a huge bump in price from what was probably the $14.95 price that Google Shopping first registered.

Fact is, for $39.00 you can get the entire My First Dollhouse, with these 3 dolls and some furniture included at Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc. Stay away from this ripoff.

Alphabet Blocks

Alphabet BlocksMy husband and I bought these blocks as extras for the Incrediblock we'd purchased for our then nine-month-old son. While my son wasn't (and still isn't) wowed by the Incrediblock (you can see my review on that page), he does enjoy playing with the Alphabet Blocks.

I like the fact that each block has a big capital letter, and inside, something that starts with that letter; for example, the "D" block has a dog. We'll be able to use these blocks for a long time because of that; I can imagine spending time with my son and teaching him that "C" is for cat -and he'll be able to see both to make that association.

My son, on the other hand, couldn't care less at this point about the letters of the alphabet (he'll soon be one year old), but he does enjoy stacking and knocking over the blocks, banging them together, and especially shaking the ones that make noise. One of his favorites is the "I" block, which has an ice cream sundae inside with lots of sprinkles that rattle merrily when he shakes it.

All in all, this is a good, affordable, durable, educational and fun set of blocks. My family continues to be very pleased with them.

I really love all the Fisher Price Peek a Blocks---I saw them long before I knew we'd have a surprise #3 baby and I would actually have an excuse to buy them! Now we own pretty much all the sets. I would have to say this set, although big, is one of the weaker ones. The letters on the sides sometimes block seeing what's inside too well, and the toys inside are not as interactive or interesting as is the case with some of these blocks---for example, a horse that just sits there, a zylophone that doesn't move much, an apple that turns. I like their blocks with tiny things to shake inside or the like---the kind of things babies can't generally play with as they are too small, but that are made safe by being enclosed! Also, having ABCs is most just a way to have a set here I think---unless you are very into early learning, I don't think most babies are really ready to associate the letters with the toys inside (I know SOME babies are, but not that many, and not mine!) However, all this said, I still would say to buy this set, if you know you like this kind of block---It's great to add 26 more in one fell swoop!

Buy Alphabet Blocks Now

I bought these blocks for my daughter when she was 9 months old and she really only enjoys them now. She is 14 months now and is starting to recognize some of the objects inside when I ask her to get them. But be warned bc they're not great for the real younger babies since there are only a few of them that really do anything like beep or rattle. Most of them just have a stationary object that may jiggle a bit. The ones that you can twist yourself are not child-friendly. She can't turn the knob at all so she gets frustrated. My 3 yr old can just do it. He likes them too bc they incorporate the alphabet. Another thing is that the printed letters block some of the objects so it's harder to see inside. I would more so recommend a diff set for a younger baby (6 mos)like the sound sensations and these for an older child (1 yr). Although you can't beat the price for 26 of these blocks! I also just recently got the Roll-A-Rounds by fisher price as a gift. It's the same concept but a ball vs block. She likes them ALOT!

After "eyeing" this toy for several months and being hesitant to buy it because of the cost, we finally broke bown and purchased it when our daughter was 15 months old. We're very glad we did!

Our daughter loves shaking the blocks, banging them together and knocking over the blocks after we stack them up for her. She really likes putting them all into a plastic bin and then taking them all out again! The letter written on each block is meaningless to her right now, but that time will come.

We plan to keep these blocks for a few years. As our daughter approaches school age, the blocks will be a great tool to help teach and reinforce letter-sound association. We believe she may never be too old to benefit from her Peek-A-Boo blocks. We know we're not!

Consider donating your set to a local library or school when you're done with them.

Want Alphabet Blocks Discount?

This set incorporates a lot of the favorites from other sets packaged in an A to Z learning format. I have been leary of purchasing too many of these blocks for storage reasons so the zippered case is a great bonus. Definitely worth every penny.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Barnyard Animals Jumbo Knob Puzzle

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Barnyard Animals Jumbo Knob PuzzleThis was the best first introduction to puzzles for my daughter. She got this puzzle for her first birthday. With her love of animals, it was an immediate hit! The pieces were large and the large chunky knobs made them easy for her to hold. The painted picture underneath that correlates with the puzzle piece is fabulous! Although my daughter can't always get the pieces back, she is learning the dexterity skills she needs! It holds up well to teething, although the wood is soft enough to show indentations over time. My daughter's favorite hobby so far is banging the pieces together!

This puzzle was ruined in a day. My toddler had a mouth full of paper after only a few minutes of playing with it. So I threw this puzzle into the garbage. Worthless as far as I am concerned. I rate it about as high as any other Melissa & Doug product. Very cheaply made.

VTech - 2-in-1 Discovery Table

VTech - 2-in-1 Discovery TableI bought this as a Christmas present for my daughter. To say that I am pleased with it is an understatement. Its great!

Being that I have both purchased and received these types of educational toys made by Fisher Price and Little Tikes, I had reservations about the assembly process. All those teeny tiny screws and such are NOT the business. Well, V-Tech ensured I didnt have that problem at all.

The product has SIX pieces to assemble together and none of them are small. The pieces consist of the two teddy bear shaped leg stands, the educational table/counter, an orange pencil cup and two big, long red screws. To assemble, you simply put the table between the two legs and insert a red screw through the applicable hole and tighten with your hand. No hard labor, no screwdrivers required.

Fun wise, the table is great. The colored piano keys play music and teach colors and numbers. The table's colored gears and clock (both are pre-assembled) play music when theyre rotated. The book in the middle both plays music and changes the table's learning mode. The table also easily rotates to be used as an activity table for a child to draw or write or whatever. The pencil cup is the lone accessory that is used on both sides of the table and is easily secured and removed.

Best of all, the table will automatically shut itself off after it has been idle for a time. I am sure it has some drain on the battery, but I havent had an issue in over a month of use.

This activity play center has actually sold me on the V-Tech product line and both my daughter and I love it.

My son is fifteen months old and he loves this toy. Right now, he is more interested in the side with the clock, ruler, book, and gears than the drawing side. As he gets older, though, the drawing side will become more popular. This is a toy that will really grow with him. It is also educational: it teaches numbers, colors, alphabet, etc.

My 14 month old is very easily entertained with just about anything, but the toys we buy her. Since she is on the verge of walking and seems to have no interest in her step and play piano, I decided to order this. She actually goes over to it daily, which is more then I can say for about the other 95% of her toys. Does she stand at it for a long time? Nope, but she doesn't do that with anything. Her favorite part of the this table, of course, is the pencil cup which she flings all over the living room. Our dog has a fun time trying to catch it too. I really wish that cup was attached. I'm not too sure why they didn't attach it bc it is annyoing to have to have another item yet to pick up off the floor. The toy does move around if you have wood floors. If I don't push it against the wall, she will use it as a walker too and push the table around the entire house. It's sturdy and I've had no problems with the legs wobbling. I like that it's small too. Amazon had the best price for it that I found.

I bought this as a second play table for my son to have at his Grandmothers house where he spends 2 days a week. I love that you can flip the table over and have a surface for coloring! It's not the "sturdiest" of toys so it does need to be up against something or it just slides across the floor and my son can't pull up on it, it's a little wobbly side to side but not a big problem if it's up against something. He loves playing with it and it has a lot of different songs, sounds and words so it doesn't get so repetitive you beg him to stop playing with it!

Overall I would highly recommend this toy.

I bought this toy for my son when he was 8 months old and he loved it. He started crawling n try to stand up with different things so I bought this table. He use to stand with it like for hours and enjoys different things on its top. The only thing which I don't like about this toy is its light weight. Because my son couldn't stand on his own so he put all his weight over it and this toy slipped forward
