Stacking Rings and Rattles

Stacking Rings and RattlesI had planned on getting the usual stacking ring toy for my baby. I saw this one and thought I'd give it a try. My little guy loved it. The rattling makes it lots of fun. The only down side is that the rings are pretty chunky and it was hard for him to differentiate the graduating sizes so they were very rarely put on properly. In addition the pole you put them on doesn't slope like the usual stacker so it doesn't help in learning to go from big to littlest. But we liked it none-the-less.

Gund My First Birthday Playset

Gund My First Birthday PlaysetMy daughter got this just in time for her first birthday. She loved it! The little bear plays "Happy Birthday" and we would sing the song inserting her name and she would beam with joy. It is very well made and each piece is darling. It's fun to play with even after the special dayshowing her birthday cake photo and remembering the celebration with her. Well worth the price!

I ordered this for my daughter's first birthday. It is absolutely adorable. Everyone at the party thought it was very cute. The insert to hold a small photo is great as my daughter likes to look at pictures. I hope to keep this long term as a keepsake for her.

Sent this as a gift and they liked it but the bear did not work. Can't exchange it for another due to the amazon exchange policy that says it will only exchange if it is because of their packaging error. Too bad. Wish it played Happy Birthday as that was the whole point.

The picture is bigger than the item really is very miss leading. It's cute but very very tiny. The Items are very small in side the cake.

Love that this toy has a photo window for personalization. The "Happy Birthday" musical teddy bear is so sweet and the squeaking camera was a big hit with our daughter, too. Recommend for a 1 year old birthday gift. Too cute!

Wow Wow Wubbzy Daisy Cuddle Pillow

Wow Wow Wubbzy Daisy Cuddle PillowWhat can I say... It was a GREAT gift for my 3 year old daughter. Solid construction and is the same pillow sold in stores but cheaper and shipping was free with Amazon Prime.

I bought this for my 5 year old grandneice, and her face when she opened it told me I got it right, that's all I was looking for. She was one happy little girl.

green sprouts Organic Terry Circus Animal Teether

green sprouts Organic Terry Circus Animal Teether-Cornflower TigerI applaud a company for making products that are safe, especially at an affordable price. However, the quality of the bear is extremely poor. The stitching looks like it was done by hand by a beginner seamstress and not in a charming "handmade" kind of way. My preschooler gets kid meal toys that look better quality than this. In fact, I would be embarrassed to give this to someone as a gift. Also, the item description says organic cotton exterior AND organic cotton fill. However, the tag on my product says organic exterior and does not list "organic" for the cotton interior. I've read that cotton batting does contain pesticide residues (if it is not organic) because it is not as processed as cotton fabric (which does not contain pesticide residues). Initially I bought this because the interior was organic cotton and not polyester. False representation.

While this looks like my son would love it he never got the chance because it is being returned for a refund due to the poor quality of this toy. The stitching is so lose it looks like with a tug his head would promptly fall off and there are holes where you can see the stuffing and I just opened the package! So disappointed! As a busy mom the last thing I have time to do is return an item so that tells you just how poorly its made that I am taking the time to do so. I love the teether keys from Greensprout so I was hoping to love this one too.

When I washed the tiger, the filling got a little lumpy. It is a natural filling (cotton) which is probably why it does that, but I was just surprised, being used to typical synthetic filings. The teether part was not particularly interesting to my baby because there is no texture on it, but he did like chewing on the stuffed animal part of it. Looked liked a tiger to me and very cute.

not worth it the ring is plain nothing to really gnaw on and the toy you cant wash it gets ruined. i dont give my kid anything soft toy like without washing.

Fisher-Price Sesame Street Elmo Loves You

Fisher-Price Sesame Street Elmo Loves YouThis elmo is so cute, and was given as a christmas gift that was enjoyed very much.

This is cute for hugs and kisses to Elmo. My granddaughter of 1 1/2 yrs. old loves Elmo, thus she loves this toy. She knows to press its belly to make it sing and talk.

I was expecting a bit more from this toy but it was mistake on my part that I was mixing Elmo Live with the Elmo loves you. The toy is durable but the fibers or whatever is on the toy can come out easily and is not as durable as the rest of toy is.

Great toy for babies under 18 months and they would learn to hug, say thank you etc.

Haba Miniland Fabric Ball

Haba Miniland Fabric BallMy 6-month-old positively loves this toy, and has for the two months it's been in the house. It is very durable and hasn't fallen apart or exploded despite lots of throwing and chewing, though I would be too scared to put it in the washing machine. It cleans up very well just with a little antibacterial soap and water and left to air-dry, even after getting puke on it. Only thing is that the choice of colors for the road and ground and water are a bit weird, but who knows maybe grass really is periwinkle in Germany. I've never been there so I couldn't say.

Got this for my Son for Christmas. He likes to chew on the little buildings and trees.

I don't know about him, but I like the little chimes inside.

We bought this for our baby when he was three months old, and right from the beginning he loved this ball. The trees, houses, etc. sticking out all over its surface make it great for very young babies who are just learning to hold onto toys. Its soft and light materials made it perfect for him because he sometimes whacked himself in the face, but it didn't hurt. Now he's eight months old and he still loves it. He mostly chews on the houses and trees or waves the ball around. I also love that it's interesting to look at. So many balls out there are just boring plastic; this one feels well-made, is more colorful and full of interesting details.

I just recieved the item today, but I like it already. It is a good size (not to big) ball with many houses, a duck, a car, trees and other things sewn on it. The ball is well put together and it seems it won't break easily. it can be washed in cold water, which is nice. Trees are with crackle fabric and the ball itself has a bell inside: Very nice sound

Want Haba Miniland Fabric Ball Discount?

I accidentally ordered this product while purchasing some other toys on Amazon for my 9-month old. When I found out that I had unintentionally paid eighteen dollars for a toy that we didn't want in the first place, I was pretty annoyed. This has turned out to be a sturdy ball though. The stitching is reliable and the ball makes a nice sound. However, I feel that one would only pay this much for a fabric ball if they were buying more so for the label. This ball is relatively small so I feel that ten dollars would be a far more reasonable price. It's easy for babies to grasp though which is certainly a positive.

Ball Toss

Ball TossMy 7 month old son loves to play with the balls & he loves hearing the music play everytime he kicks it or reaches in. He's hasn't quite old enough to actually "make a basket" without help. The one complaint I have is that when you try to pick up the toy, from the top of basket, it falls apart. There is no way to lock the top & bottom parts together. That causes concern since my son could pick it up & have the bottom fall on him & he gets hurt.

Reading the box I thought it would be a wonderful toy for my 8 month old. However, everytime he pulls on the net the entire top half comes apart. That's know fun because he cannot put it back together. It should have a locking mechanism so that it would not come apart.

Buy Ball Toss Now

We got this toy at Christmas when Ethan was 5 mos., he is now 10 mos. He likes to spin the side spinner but that's about all. I agree that the hoop falls off MUCH too easily and it was really hard to put the bottom pieces together. It seemed silly they weren't already connected. Ethan loves playing with the balls alone but not worth the money.

I received this toy for Easter for my Twins in thier baskets. I have to say that the nicest part of the toy is the three brightly colored balls. I am a big Fisher Price fan and I like the adjustable volume and the music is not too overbearing but the toy is not made well. The hoop attachement falls off way to easily (everytime) and having to re-assemble it each time its touched is annoying. With three small kids, I need a toy to hold up for play. It's not worth the money and I would not give this to anyone else.

Want Ball Toss Discount?

My mom bought this toy for my son when he was nine months old and he loves it! Music plays and lights flash when he puts the balls in the hoop. He figured out the point of the game right away. The balls are brightly colored and he will crawl all over the house to retrieve them. The hoop attachment does come off of the base easily but that is because it is reversible (the bottom of the toy can either be a basket to contain the balls or a platform that allows the balls to roll away so baby has to crawl after them) and it has never been a problem for us. We clap and cheer when he makes a basket and he gets really excited. This toy is very interactive because adults can easily play baskets with the child even grandad likes getting in on the action! This is always the first toy my son chooses to play when we go to Grandma's house.

Sesame Street 1st Birthday 8 3/4in Centerpiece

Sesame Street 1st Birthday 8 3/4in CenterpieceI don't know why Amazon has this come up with a toy review, but this is not a toy. It's a party decoration. As such, it is fine. It is easy to assemble, just fold and insert a few tabs. They stay independently. I used mine indoors only. And they added a lot of color with little effort and money. They lasted through the party and I was able to reflatten them and save them. I can't remember if I needed to use tape to secure them.

Swimways Swim Sweater

Swimways Swim Sweater Color - YellowOverall, I love this product. I am able to let my 2 year old swim with out me holding him and he is so happy. My only disappointment was that i ordered it in Blue and got it in Purple which was not my first choice for a boy!

We have an inground pool. No young child is allowed in the pool area without one of these on. It allows a child to swim safely and learn the fel of their body in the water. My own children and many of our guests have learned to swim at a young age because of a swim sweater. We swear by them. I only wish they were as durable as they were years and years ago. They loose air much faster then in the"olden" days.

Stuffed Elephant 6" for Infants & Children Washable Plush

Stuffed Elephant 6' for Infants & Children Washable PlushThere is nothing attractive about this item. Perhaps because it's washable, the material appears raggedy and messy, as if the toy had already been "through the ringer" many times. I would not recommend this toy.

This is a simple small bean-filled elephant. It is very soft and plush. Just have to worry about the eyes and the beans on/in it with children.

Tolo Activity Stackers

Tolo Activity StackersI got this because I love the Tolo activity sorter so much. I wasn't disappointed! These are nice and large and easy for my son to handle, there aren't so many cups that you lose pieces everywhere, and I love that they're bright and easy to identify colors. (This last part might sound crazy but you try teaching colors when your child holds up something that is yellow-green or magenta). I love the paddle wheel, but my 18 month old isn't quite ready to operate it himself. The magnifying glass clear piece will also probably be a hit when he's older.

Set of four stacking and nesting cups with a water wheel.

Ideal for use in the bath or pool

Clear cup is a magnifying glass!

Water wheel sits in the corners of the largest cup to keep it secure during play

Textured, contrasting rims for additional grip

Different sized holes at the bottom of each cup allow the water to pour through in a variety of ways!

Fit the eyes with the cut outs and a number of funny faces can be made!

Encourages dexterity and hand eye co-ordination.

Fun for younger and older children.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Learning Basketball

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Learning BasketballWe bought this basketball toy for our daughter when she was 6 months old. She loves to hear all of the different sounds and songs that it plays. She was a bit too young at the time to 'make baskets' but loves to press the buttons and play with the basketballs. It is a heavy toy on top, so you have to be watchful that it doesn't topple when your baby tries to pull the net towards them to chew on it. It is really neat that the net has a sensor if something goes through it and will have different sayings such as 'slam dunk' or will count how many baskets you get in a row. Like how it's height is adjustable so she can play now while she sits and will also be able to use it when she can stand. All around great toy!

We love this toy. It has great tunes and counting. Our daughter (13 months) dances to the tunes. She is learning to throw and roll balls. She loves the lights and tunes. All-in-all great purchase. For those who care, we also enjoy that there are two volume levels. This is some thing that we look for in toys, otherwise the volume is always at a maximum level, which becomes too much very quickly.

Our son received this as a first birthday gift, and it's so much fun. Whenever we're playing in his room and he wants to play alone I (his mother) pass my time by shooting hoops. It's very durable, and it's only tipped over occasionally. I think it's best for a baby who can already stand up. We just keep it on the medium height, and let him take shots. He's become very good at throwing a ball thanks to this toy, and he can make shots on his own from several feet away now. It's true that it's very short compared to some kids' hoops, but it's meant for infants who can sit up, and very young toddlers. At 14 months old, our son now plays with it every day. We highly recommend this toy!

Under The Nile Lion Ring

Under The Nile Lion RingThis is great for the stage of teething where your baby wants something that is a mixture between soft and hard. It's a nice texture and best of all it's organic which is the best since it's going into your baby's mouth. The reason why I only gave it 4 stars is because it's a little bit thick for a baby to hold in his hands, a lot of times, I have to hold it for my son. Also the face, it's a little creepy, and the pointy ears kind of make it look evil instead of nice. Maybe if the ears were made rounder and the stitch on the face was rounder it would look a little more pleasant :)

A simple baby ring, for teething or just grasping. Definitely washable and organic, so I feel safe my baby is handling it. Looks handmade and would make a nice gift too.

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.

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!!!

Haba Circo Pulling animal

Haba Circo Pulling animalWe bought this toy for our twins for Christmas and they LOVE it! The colorful circles spin as the clown is pulled and they can also be removed so the kids can chew them or roll them around. Besides being a beautiful toy that will grow with our children, it is exceptionally well made. The paint doesnt come off, the pieces are well joined and the pull string is thick and sturdy. my girls are 10 months and they already know how to pull it while crawling (of course the string is tied shorter for safety) I have other HABA toys and they are simply a wonderful toy company!

I bought this for my 1 year old and it's a hit! Well-made, attractive, durable toy. He immediately rolled it around and started taking out the parts. There's a lot of things one can do with this car.

This toy is very well-made. We've had it for 6 months now and the paint has not one single chip. My 16-month old is not yet into pull toys (and maybe he'll never be?) but he likes playing with the wooden pegs, stacking them on top of one another. The colors are vivid, bright and cheery, and the construction is quite solid.

Haba's toys are always well made and very durable, I bought baby toys for my daughter 4 years ago that still look brand new after 2 kids. The little cogs do fall out very easily, but I just keep them out until one of them wants to play with them. Worth every penny!

Small Saphron Stripes Organic Goose

Small Saphron Stripes Organic GooseGoose is not soft, fluffy, or squishable the way most stuffed animals for small children are, but he has a certain je ne sais quoi. There's just something tremendously appealing about this little guy; he's the only stuffed animal in the house that makes me smile when I see him. When he arrived, my boy (2) took one look at him, swiped him from me, and hauled him around the house for the rest of the day. My son now sleeps with (or, more likely, around or on top of) Goose every night.

Goose and his compatriots would make great gifts for very little babies. Highly recommended.

I love our little goose but it would have been nice and a little more honorable to have mentioned how small it really was.... Though I have to admit it is just as adorable as promised.
