Buy Turtle Infant / Toddler Costume Now
My son was so cute in this costume. Great for a crawler. He wears 24 months and this fit perfect.My 8 month old wore this for almost 5 hours and was as happy as could be in it. She loved to flap the gloved flipper hands. The separate headpiece was comfy and roomy enough to layer a hooded sweatshirt underneath. I would say it was true to size. We purchased a size larger than needed to make it right for layering clothes underneath. The fabric is only medium weight and is ultra soft. It is actually a bit slick so had to be extra careful when holding her not to lose our grip. We received many compliments that it was one of the cutest infant costumes they had seen. I believe this was a good purchase. The greens and pattern of the fabric were well done and look even better than the product photo. The turtle shell is thick and cushiony.This costume is so cute and my toddler loves it. However it is made of thin material that makes it appear cheap. The head was a bit large and the turtle's nose was a little uneven. I thought about returning but once I put it on my toddler he looked adorable! So I just hand sewed the nose and neck straps and the costume was perfect! I will just add some sweats underneath for trick or treating.Monday, July 14, 2014

Wonderworld Hexi Twist Squeeze Toy
Buy Wonderworld Hexi Twist Squeeze Toy Now
This is a great toy for baby. My 4 month old grandson keeps reaching for it. I was not sure this was going to be popular with the baby, but it was. Not only is it colorful and educational, it is a safe teether. I recommend this.Read Best Reviews of Wonderworld Hexi Twist Squeeze Toy Here
Great quality does not look like paint will be able to chip (a semi-common problem I have with wooden toys). Not heavy at all like one reviewer said...yeah your kid might hit themselves inthe head once in a while....but that happens with plastic toys, too and in my opinion causes just as much of a fuss. Wood is not super soft, so I would imagine it should hold up to teething farily well (this is for baby #3 due in July...our others are too old to test it out for me at 3 and 19 months). Love the colors exactly as pictured. Does NOT look like a child could pinch their fingers inthe toy...one reviewer mentioned being concerned about that...I don't think it's possible.I love it, I just hope the paint doesn't come off when my grandson chews on it. I also hope it doesn't pinch him. I love it, hopefully he will too!Sunday, May 4, 2014
Under The Nile Sleeping Doll Lovie
Buy Under The Nile Sleeping Doll Lovie Now
I love that this plush is organic so he can chew on it without worry. It is perfectly sized for little hands but he does prefer the other style buddy with the legs and the knot at the top of the hat. Might just be my little mans preference but having the legs instead of the gown was easier for him to grab and he seems to like it better.Read Best Reviews of Under The Nile Sleeping Doll Lovie Here
We purchased this little doll in blush for our baby when she was about three months. She never did use it as a sleeping lovely, but at 11 months she still enjoys playing with it especially by teething on it and dangling it off her exersaucer.The doll is a handy size for infants and small toddlers. The super thing about it is that it is 100% organic cotton and machine washable. The one con is that the doll's white hands and face as well as its light pink hat did yellow almost immediately after its first use probably because it wasn't treated with stain-repellant chemicals like other plush toys. This is strictly aesthetic, but it did make the doll look very worn when it was virtually brand new. On the other hand, the slightly dingy appearance is a fair tradeoff for knowing that the baby isn't ingesting any toxic chemicals by playing with it.I love this little doll! We bought it for our 6 month old daughter who has been having sleeping issues and it's tiny enough for her to safely snuggle with while sleeping. I looked into the snoedel which was around $35 plus shipping and this one was cuter and only around $11. It's really soft cotton and has an adorable little face. I did notice that when I machine washed and dried it, the face discolored which is supposed to happen if you don't machine dry it. So I think it needs to be REALLY dry otherwise it will get mildew and discolor.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Learning Farm
Lots of mini activities feeding the cow, "planting the flowers" having the eggs slide through the shoot. All the noises and songs, opening and closing the barn door.
Dislike:
Putting it together. It took about 30 minutes to get all the pieces screwed in and assembled. It probably took that long because my son was eager to get his hands on this awesome looking toy and wanted to play with it while we were putting it together.
Why I'm giving it a 5:
It seems pricey for a FP toy, (we bought it on a buy 2 get 1 free promo and got the farm, home and the rock and bounce pony), so it wasn't too bad. FP toys are very sturdy, with a rough baby and 2 dogs, any toy that makes it through and still look brand new is amazing.
Very interactive. Teaches cause and effect. The sounds of the farm animals and the door creaking when it opens and a "slam" when it shuts cracks my baby up. He loves being able to "crawl" through the door. It did take him a little bit why he couldn't "walk" through, and watching him crouch down and waddle though was a hoot. He eventually gave up and crawled.
Even without the extra pieces (eggs, flowers) it's still a lot of fun. We brought it over to a friends house to entertain the little ones awesome. They had so much fun just messing around with it.
We haven't had a toy that keeps our kid entertained for a long period of time AND something he wants to go back to.
IF YOU ARE DEBATING on getting this vs the HOME get the home. It has a few more extras and activities to do. Only bonus about the farm is the radio it makes "static" noises so it's like you're tuning a radio. The home one has a clock that you can teach time and it's a little bigger opening for the doorway.We bought the farm for our son's 1st birthday after getting him the house for Christmas. The farm is cute and he LOVES animals and animal sounds. I was able to get the house on sale at Toys R Us for a similar price to what Amazon is selling the farm for. Dollar for dollar, the house is a MUCH better investment. It is quite a bit larger and has more activities on it. My son has loved his house from the time we bought it (9 months) until now and plays with it for at least an hour everyday! He does play with the farm but only for a few minutes here and there. If you are deciding between the two, go with the house!

My son played with this toy at a friend's house a few months ago and was captivated by the ability to go through the door. We gave it to him yesterday for his first birthday. I was afraid that he would play with it for 30 minutes or so and move on but I was pleasantly surprised. He played with it for hours and I mean hours spending most of his time going through the door but also trying out the other features. Since nearly everything a person does with the toy causes it to make noise/music, etc. it keeps him stimulated. My son is a very active and curious little person so all of this toy's bells and whistles are critical to keeping him entertained. I have found it difficult over the past few months having enough toys to keep him entertained without breaking my budget or overwhelming our family room. I see this toy as a money saver since it keeps me from having to buy a bunch of other toys. In the time he spent on this toy yesterday, he would have played with a dozen toys or more any other day. My son wasn't happy when we took him away from the farm so that he could eat dinner and went right back to it afterwards. He's the type of person who will play until he drops from exhaustion so I think he would have played with this toy all night if I hadn't forced him to go to bed. :-)I think the choking warning is in reference to the screws used to put it together. The screws are really tight, though, so I can't imagine how a child could get them out. I could barely get them in. I think the child would really have to break the other parts of the toy to get pieces small enough to swallow.

We already have the house version of this from when my oldest was a baby and it has been a huge hit with all 3 of my kids. Given it's success in our house, I anxiously waited for the release of this toy. I got the barn for my boy/girl twins 1st birthday, and they love it! It's just as nice as the house and the perfect addition to their play area. They love "feeding" the cow his veggies and crawling through the barn door. It seems slightly smaller than the house, but that works out great for us given the number of toys we try to jam in a smaller area. Great purchase -you can't go wrong with this toy!He hasn't lost interest yet. and every time he plays with it he discovers something new. It has 3 different "modes" Learning mode, song mode and play mode, all of which are so cute and fun. it comes with eggs and he carries them around the house. I will mention that the screws were hard to put in by hand. My son has beat this thing up and it still perfect.Saturday, April 19, 2014
Plush Sable Ferret 8"
Read Best Reviews of Plush Sable Ferret 8" Here
Just got this puppy.... er, ferret in the mail today and I am pleased enough. The 14" ferret I also purchased on Amazon wasn't quite proportioned well enough to be life-size but this guy fits into that category a bit better. The picture, however, does it no justice! Sure, the more circular choice of material for the eyes make it a little less ferret-looking, but they aren't nearly as large and beady as they appear, nor is the face so smushed-looking like the picture. Only con I found is that the tail (on the one I received, at least) is very wiry, as in it curls itself a little and doesn't lay still, but that's not that big of an issue, of course. As for realism, this guy also doesn't have whiskers, but that, too, is just a small thing. This animal is overall a good, soft and cute choice if ya dun wanna shell out the big bucks for those adjustable/higher-detail ferrets. :)Want Plush Sable Ferret 8" Discount?
Unlike this Aurora toy -which is the most realistic ferret plush I've owned to date -most ferret stuffed animals are variants on a "blob" shape. If there is an attempt at detail, the tail is still created wide and flat (like a beaver), the coloring is off, the face is unflattering, the body is floppy, etc. Not this one!Aurora has created a plush ferret on a tight budget. She is beautiful. She is close to perfect. Look how she stands so alertly! She can be cuddled by an adult, toddler, or chewed on by a pet ferret.
This is a safety-conscious company that does not use hard plastics in the construction of its plush. This means that the ferret featured here by Aurora has an embroidered nose and eyes to compliment her soft fur.
I've purchased three of these: One for my ferret collectables shelf, one for a toddler, and one for a pre-teen. I've seen a few as toys for pet ferrets, and they hold up well in this role. I have yet to meet a person displeased with this item in my group of family, friends, and acquaintances. Frankly, this Aurora sable went viral for a time in my circle.

Sassy Caterpillar Mobile With Suction Arm
Buy Sassy Caterpillar Mobile With Suction Arm Now
My 3-1/2 month old would scream every time I put him in the car. I would have to drive with one hand on the steering wheel, and one hand keeping his pacifier in his mouth. I attached this mobile to his infant carrier and used it for the first time today. He was so mesmerized by the dangling bugs that I didn't hear a peep out of him the whole car ride!! Totally worth the ten dollars I paid for it.Read Best Reviews of Sassy Caterpillar Mobile With Suction Arm Here
Could it get any better? I don't think so. This is the best $10 I've spent so far. We take this mobile everywhere! It works in the car, either on the window or on the infant seat handle. Also, I hang it in my pack-n-play since the mobile that came with it is so boring. I have also used it on the window above the rocking chair for our son to look at during feedings! I love this product & so does our son; he never seems to tire of staring at it and as he gets older different parts interest him.I researched this idea over and over. I could not decide which product to get as I knew I wanted something unique that would stimulate baby. THIS IS IT!!! The suction cup can stay on the window and the caterpillar and toys can come off and attach to your stroller or infant seat with magnets inside the fabric. WHen the car is in motion, so is the toy allowing baby fun for hours!!! I highly recommend this one Just be careful not to knock it off when the door is open!!! A++++++++++++Saturday, March 15, 2014
Hape Pyramid of Play
One small feature that shows how Educo pays attention to detail is the little "lip" on the top (or bottom, depending) of each block. This allows sturdier stacking as they nest in or on top of eachother. This is nice for a 1 year old just learning to build. Once he stacks, it stays giving him an opportunity to celebrate as his tower grows higher!
These are the favorite of the nesting/sorting toys in our house!We chose these blocks over many others because they are real wood, and have a variety of educational benefits to them. We had a hard time finding a good set, because most of the other sets seem to be made of cardboard or balsa wood, but not these. After growing up with good solid toys, we've had a hard time finding similar quality now. But we are very happy with this purchase.
From the minute we pulled these out, our 11 month old was thrilled, and played with them longer than any new toy we've given her so far. The blocks are made of real wood, and stack nicely within or on top of each other. The tall lip allows for them to be very stable when stacked, and the shape blocks can only go through the shape that fits them, and they fit easily.
Everything is color coded, and there are subtle but well themed choices as far as the sides. For example, the food/animal sides all have things that start with the letter of their block (A -> Apple, B -> Butterfly, etc.). They have the number on one side, and on the shape slot they also have the shape and number corresponding. The colors are vibrant and everything is durable. It is a very well thought out toy, and a lot of coordination seems to have been put into each block.
As for durability, I'm more worried about my floor than these things falling apart. My daughter didn't really throw things before we bought these, but she seems to delight in flinging these blocks around, and she can really get them moving. Most of the time, she sends them horizontal, but occasionally straight up and down. They've hit pretty hard and I can't seem to find any damage to them (or my laminate floor... yet). But despite being durable, they are very light weight, so she can easily move them all over the place.
I can't say enough how pleased we are with these blocks, and I wish more toys these days were made with this level of quality.This is a perfect size, colorful, well made,and is very entertaining. The boxes have a raised edge so the cubes don't fall off while stacking.I purchased this for my 14 month old daughter. She loves it. However, the shapes do not pass the "toilet paper" roll test, in which you try to pass the toy (or in this case, the shape) through the center of a toilet paper roll. If it fits, it is not safe because the toy can become lodged in a child's throat. I'm not sure why this product says it is safe for 18+ months when the shapes are clearly unsafe. I'm really disappointed because this was my child's major toy for Christmas and she can't even properly play with it.My son has played with this toy for 8 months now and can push the blocks through the shaped holes. He also likes to stack and nest them. The fact that he can turn over the cube and get out the small colored block is also helpful; mom doesn't need to be on hand to get them out for him! He has also learned the names of the shapes and loves to tell me the names of the pictures on the sides. Overall a great purchase.

Remote Control Shape Sorter
Buy Remote Control Shape Sorter Now
I love this plane. We got this at Christmas for my 2 year old. He loves it. It's easy to use. He doesn't use the shape sorter too much, but sometimes. I love that the nose of the plane opens and all the pieces fit inside (a mother HAD to have come up with that!). It has an automatic shut off to save batteries in case its left on. We've haven't replaced the batteries once yet. It plays cute, but soft and not annoying music. It wiggles back and forth and goes slow enough so that a 2 year old can enjoy it. When you back it up, it turns in a circle. Its just wonderful. It seems durable too. I would absolutely recommend it.My son become practically obsessed with airplanes recently so for his birthday I got this toy for him. He loves the remote but spends much more time with the shape sorter. Whenever friends come over he drags them into his room and says "look plane!" He absolutely adores this toy.My son received this as a Christmas gift. The remote has never worked so we've never seen the plane move or play music. The shapes are a bit difficult for very small hands to push through the openings. Still, he loves to "fly" the plane through the air now that he's bigger and stuff all kinds of treasures inside. It's not being used as designed, but he likes it any way.Wednesday, February 26, 2014

Guidecraft Fraction Action Board
Both the Fraction Action and Fraction Cups are made from an eco-friendly rubberwood and then stained with low VOC aniline dyes, so they are safe for even super little ones to chew and drool on.
The Fraction Action Board is 9.5" square and not quite 1/2" tall and for ages 2 and up. The set has 18 stained wood pieces that fit into the nine shaped spots on the self-storing board: circles, squares and hexagons. Each shape has fraction puzzles of varying difficult ~ whole, halves and thirds.
The Fraction Cups are four great little portable puzzles containing 10 pieces that explore the fractions of halves, thirds and quarters. Both sets come with a simple activity booklet for use with your child.
Our son liked the bright colors and fitting the pieces together like puzzles. For our older girls it gives them a colorful visual reminder for how they can divide things up and still have a whole. The puzzles will definitely be used as a hands-on reinforcement through our school year for all of the kids.
The Fraction Action Board and Fraction Cups are obviously wonderful for teaching and reminding children about fractions, but with the variety of colors and sizes, they can also be used to sort by shape, color, height, and more.My 16 month son likes this toy. So far he usually just likes taking the pieces out and carrying around the circle and pentagon. But the other day he actually put together the two pieces of a circle. This is a toy that will grow with your child.This fraction board is a simple way to introduce basic fractions to a young child through play. The child can learn simply by playing and the parent can introduce vocabulary through play time together!

Playskool Explore `N` Grow Busy Ball Popper
These bad comments were (NOT my opinion):
1. The toy is dangerous -child's arm got stuck in the hole where balls shoot out from.
2. The toy is VERY loud and a potential danger for small developing ears.
3. The small balls are a choking hazard.
I decided to give it a try cause I could always return it, well I'm KEEPING it!
#1... the toy that I got is the updated version that now has "prongs" on the inside of the tube, so there's no way a child can get their arm stuck down there.
#2... the toy is NOT as loud as most of the reviewers describe it to be. When I got it, I thought it was gonna sound like a vacuum cleaner from all the comments! It doesn't -it sounds like a muffled hair dryer. Louder than any toys he has, but FAR from deafening!
#3... the balls are a little bit on the small side. I tried putting the balls in my mouth just in case, and I really had to open wide! I don't think a small child could fit them in their mouth. In any case, I wouldn't let my son play with this toy alone anyway. It's not that big of a deal.
The amount of fun my son has far outweighs any of the negatives (if you can call them that) of this toy. I happen to think it's perfect!!! And I'm so happy I ignored all the bad reviews!First for the drawbacks; 1)It is easy to lose the balls if you don't make a point of collecting them after play and keeping them somewhere safe, 2)There is music that plays continuously while it is on, which can be annoying for some, and 3)The play cycle is rather short so you or baby must keep pressing plunger to start it again. This might be a welcome respite for those offended by #2.
BUT: All four of my boys LOVED this toy!!! A favorite, and a toy I always buy or recommend to others. Perfect for a boy or girl. My boys were enthralled by the colorful balls shooting out of the hole and amazed when they almost always went where they were supposed to, which is around the ramp and back into the receptacle. They also LOVED to feel the air blow out of the toy (the air is what pushes the ball up and out of the hole) and would often just press the plunger to feel the air on their faces, hands and in their hair. They quickly learned to start the toy themselves and would be entertained by it longer than they would be by other toys. All of my boys got this toy for their first birthdays (I am a toy manufacturers dream, I sell toys in Mom2Mom sales after on child outgrows them and then end up buying them again for subsequent kids-can't stand clutter and feel they deserve their own stuff).

I bought this for my 10 month old daughter since my son seemed to love it at daycare when he was 1-2 years old. He's now 2 1/2 and still enjoys it. I think it's an adorable toy and a good way to teach cause/effect. My daughter watches intently as the balls pop up, then I show her where they go inside. I admit that she does flinch in surprise a little with the air/music combo as the balls pop up, but I don't think it's too loud at all. The anticipation is the fun part! I hate to say that 3 of the 5 balls are missing as of late, since they do fly all over the place when you play. I wonder if they sell extras/replacements...?Read Best Reviews of Playskool Explore `N` Grow Busy Ball Popper Here
I bought this for my son when he was about 15 months old. He is now 3 and a half and still LOVES this thing. Two major problems: The music is VERY loud and VERY annoying. The second problem is that it eats batteries like you would not believe. As soon as the power goes down a bit from the low batteries, the balls don't shoot into the air, they just sort of push up to the top of the tube which is alot less fun for the kids. That said, it was well worth the money if you are oonly considering the the amount of fun my kids have had with it.Want Playskool Explore `N` Grow Busy Ball Popper Discount?
My neice has one of the older ones of these and it was great fun. I ordered one for my now 6 mo old and set it up and .... nothing. Check the instructions, is there some safety switch, did I not screw in the battery cover screw all the way? nope. Just DOA.Ordered from Amazon, so they were great replacement went out 12/24 arrived 12/28.... Only a little better. Did nothing ... read a review about having to press hard and pressed very hard. chirp, pressed very hard again, chirp, pressed repeatedly and boom, came on, fan blew, music blared, whew. Worked a few more times over the next few minutes and just when I set it up in front of my son and he got to see it once...and was reaching for it... no more.
What absolute Junk. Tried another brand new set of batteries... not a chirp, nothing.
Junk!
I have looked for anything similar by another maker, but so far no luck.

Little People Nativity Advent Calendar
This calendar is made reasonably well. The figurines are finished with a top stitch rather than blind stitch; while I appreciate the fact that blind stitching might have added to the price, I would have preferred the figures to be finished with a blind stitch. The calendar does "droop" somewhat since there is no support along the top edge. I solved this problem by hand sewing loops of bias tape onto the back and inserting a thin wood strip that my husband cut in his shop.
Fisher-Price still has this calendar on their web site for $30. If you sign up for their notices and catalogs, you may be able to get free shipping on this item.
If you are looking for an Advent calendar which will help you teach your little one the true meaning of Christmas, then you should consider the Little People Nativity Advent Calendar. You will not be disappointed.

We absolutely loved this calendar that we orginally purchased directly from FP in 2009 for our son. We loved that we could teach our son the real meaning of Christmas. We all love it. This year we added a new member to our family and I knew we needed one just for our daughter too. The FP site sold out before I could order it so I turned to amazon. Unfortunately, we have now ordered two and neither have played the song "silent night" as stated in the description. Instead a nice white diamond shape is sewn over the words "press here". Big disappointment. Don't be fooled, don't purchase if you are looking for the original FP nativity advent calendar.Want Little People Nativity Advent Calendar Discount?
I selected this Advent Calendar for my grandson because he likes music and the calendar is supposed to have a button which, when pressed, plays music.Another reviewer mentioned that some Fisher Price Calendars now have no music: instead of the "push here" button there is a diamond shape with no music.
I was willing to pay a LOT of MONEY for the musical advent calendar. Instead I received the non-musical one which I could have purchased elsewhere for twenty dollars.
I think I should receive a partial refund and Amazon should investigate this deceptive description. The product description VERY CLEARLY states that the calendar has the musical feature.

Gund Baby Huggybuddy Tucker, Giraffe
One other thing you might want to note...the inside is a satin like fabric which my kids love to hold in their hands while they sleep. If you wash it with bibs or other items with velcro (which a lot of kids clothes has velcro) it can catch the satin and snag the material.I had originally purchased a blue teddy bear and puppy for baby shower gifts based on the great reviews by amazon customers. I thought they were adorable and so did the recipients. When my newest grandchild (a little girl) was about to be born, I decided on the giraffe because my son & d-inlaw had put an enormous stuffed giraffe in her room. Brought it w/me when she was born & they loved it. While she is just 6 weeks now, I am sure she will love it too give her a couple of months. Thought it was really cuter than the picture, very soft & cuddly & well made. It's already been washed & placed in the crib. Would recommend it to anyone looking for baby gift that is a little different sure to be a hit.
Buy Gund Baby Huggybuddy Tucker, Giraffe Now
This "lovie" is the best. My son received the giraffe from the gift shop at the hospital on the day he was born. I had forgotten all about it until he was about 8 months old. Over the course of the next few months, he became very attached and loves this things. He is now 19 months old and still sleeps with it and loves to hug it when he needs comfort. It's not called a HuggyBuddy for no reason it's large & substantial enough for them to grasp and squeeze, unlike some of the other flimsy lovies out there. It's his buddy. It's held up very well through multiple (and I mean multiple) washings. I put it on delicate cycle and dry it on med-low heat. It's definitely not as fluffy as it was when it was new... but that gives it more character. The important thing is that it's held up very well, at least in the 11 months of non-stop use thus far. We had to buy a second in case something ever happens to it. :)Read Best Reviews of Gund Baby Huggybuddy Tucker, Giraffe Here
My son has been using this since he was 6 months old. He is now 14 months old and he is still using it. It is very soft and cuddly. Also it is easy to wash. I threw it in the washing machine several times. I usually hang it to dry though, I never tried to put it in the dryer.My only complain is that the fur comes easily it seems. Many times in the morning we would find the giraffe's fur stuck on my son's mouth.My 6 month old grandson loves his Giraffe. His father got him one when he was born and he hates to be without it. I decided to buy another one to put in his Easter basket so my daughter will have a chance to wash the other one.
