Crayola 3ct. TaDoodles Washable Tub Crayons (Seal, Lobster, Dolphin)
Buy Crayola 3ct. TaDoodles Washable Tub Crayons (Seal, Lobster, Dolphin) Now
My 15 month old loves these! He draws on the bathtub and the bath walls. The crayons fit in his hands great unlike regular crayons or triangular crayons.The purple-pink shade does leave a stain behind that requires extra elbow grease, but overall these are great.
They float in the water and still draw even when they get soaked. In fact, my son draws on the floor of the tub while he bathes too.

These would be great if I could find refills. I can't find them on Amazon, at Target, on the Crayola website...Want Crayola 3ct. TaDoodles Washable Tub Crayons (Seal, Lobster, Dolphin) Discount?
The crayon kept falling out of the holder and would not stay in. I put them back in according to the directions and they still fell out.Wednesday, July 2, 2014
Tomy Pic 'n' Pop
However, now when she is 21mos-what a huge difference!!! She plays with it almost every day, though just for several minutes. She got the idea of how it works and mastered the needed skills!! Our lil friend who is 25 mos also loves this toy:)
So, the time has come!!
and yes I wish the handle was taller!This is the worst toy I have yet to encounter. We bought it for our 19 month old son for Christmas. It is next to impossible to pick the balls up with the device. You have to have the unit straight up and down. My husband and I had difficulty doing this and it was just frustrating for my toddler. The shooting mechanism wasn't easy either and also only worked with the unit strictly vertical. I would not recommend this for anyone. This toy needs a major redesign. The idea is great, not the toy itself. I also want to add that I agree with other reviews, that the toy is too short. My son had to bend to push it, so it doesn't even make a good push toy.The little girl I got this for loves it. She likes to play with it on the days her mom is not vacuuming the house. The toy could have a better way to trap the balls. Some times she likes to trap and shoot over and over again but when its not picking up the balls shes just throwing them around. Great toy.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fish Bowl Jumbo Knob Puzzle
Buy Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fish Bowl Jumbo Knob Puzzle Now
This is great for a first puzzle. Between 11 and 12 months my daughter started becoming interested in putting items in boxes so I bought her some Melissa and Doug puzzles after doing my research (although some of these are made in china they undergo strict testing). The large wooden nobs are great for little fingers to grab and very durable.Read Best Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fish Bowl Jumbo Knob Puzzle Here
These pieces are fine unless your baby bites his/her toys--umm, every baby I know!--which may be why they are recommended for 2 year olds, but I am having trouble imagining what 2 year old would play with this boring puzzle. My daughter (10 months) likes it a lot, but she bit the head off the turtle in 10 minutes and now wants to gnaw the rest of the coloring off the other pieces. Sure, it's entertaining, but I don't want the printed paper in her tummy!Want Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fish Bowl Jumbo Knob Puzzle Discount?
Just pulled this out of the box. Size and color are great for my 18 month old. But the puzzle is wrapped in a tight clear plastic, and I can see three places where the fish sticker is already peeling. (This is not painted!) And right next to the tag stating this is wood is a tear in the plastic where the pressed paper/pseudo-wood/possibly MDF material is pealing apart in about 15 layers. Not even opened or touched by my child and it's already coming apart. What a disappointment! I will be returning this immediately, unopened.(And it's made in China in case you were wondering.)

I ordered this with a few other things for a friend who just received her Ph.D. As this was the only item tied to graduating, I hoped it was decent.

So when it came it had '2008' on it. Luckily the graduation hat covers it, and she was cool about it.

Bright Starts Bloomin Blocks
Buy Bright Starts Bloomin Blocks Now
My six month old daughter started playing with these when she was four months old and she loves them. She especially loves the parts of the blocks that have the crackling noise.My daughter is only two months plus and she loves the colors!!!! It's soft and the patterns attract her little eyes!!!! She loves the little crinkle noise it makes and the jingling noise.... It is too cute!I am actually pretty crafty and had made my own version of these taggy type blocks but they were not holding my daighters attention and did not have much texture to them. She recieved these as a gift and absolutly loves them. They stack so much better than my homemade ones and are very colorful. The sounds from the chimes and crinkle paper seem to captivate her as well. We love them and highly recommend them as a gift!Tuesday, March 25, 2014
Amscan First Birthday Boy Sailor Hat
Buy Amscan First Birthday Boy Sailor Hat Now
Purchased this for my son's 1st birthday (of course, it says I'm one) but it is sized for a much older child and the design is actually a teal blue!!! Not what I was looking for! I tried to wash it on high heat to try and shrink and it fell apart. Don't waste your moneyRead Best Reviews of Amscan First Birthday Boy Sailor Hat Here
This hat was misrepresented. Does not fit 1 year old and the pic shows dark blue whale, it was baby blue. Don't waist your money!The toy is sized for an adult, and is not the color that it shows in the photo. I wish I had read the reviews before I ordered as this is not useable for the purpose which I am sure most are intending it for.Saturday, March 1, 2014

Chicco Great Shakes Monkey Toy
Buy Chicco Great Shakes Monkey Toy Now
Another secret Santa present for a little boy whose wish was for some stroller toys. Delivered quickly and well made, and what boy doesn't like monkeys shaking lots of hoops.This monkey has been our daughter's favorite toy since she was about 3months old! Now she is 6 months and it's still her favorite!Got this as a gift for baby in December 2011 and its kinda just been sitting around mixed up with other toys. He had something similar in a chicken for the carseat so I decided to switch it up. My little guy loves this toy! He just lights up and plays with it the entire ride. Even sometimes falls asleep w/his hand tight aroundt the ring. Great toy for developing baby. He's 7 months by the way.Tuesday, February 18, 2014
Mickey Plane Ride-On Toy
The shape sorter is an added bonus. We have not had the problem of the recorded voice saying the wrong shape name. He likes to push the shapes into their respective holes once I set them up for him (I push them slightly into the holes first and he does the rest), and it won't be long until he's doing it by himself.
This is the perfect toy to bring to the grandparents' houses when we visit. It's small enough to stash in the trunk and keeps him entertained while we're talking.The shape sorter activityt has a major flaw in that when you put in one shape, for example, the star, it says another character and shape. I tested each shape. Mickey will say a different shape than what you put in.
This is not good for teaching my son the correct names of shapes. I can see how children would be confused by this. Definitely needs to be fixed.
Buy Mickey Plane Ride-On Toy Now
The shape sorter has some technical issues as the star says ,"Triangle," and the triangle with Pluto on it says, " Gee Minnie, it was sure swell of you to join us." With trying to teach my 13 month old shapes, this is going to be an issue. I read a another review at another web site that said the same thing was going on with theirs.Buyer beware. Ordered this as a holiday gift. It came NOT from Kiddieland but from Target .....and the invoice in the box had a price of $39.99. So if you are interested in purchasing this toy....go to Target.comI bought this for my grandson for Christmas, he was 8 months old. This has been the best learning toy for him, along with entertainment. He has learned how the shapes work and took this on soon. It has also helped him in walking. It is entertaining for me to watch him play with this toy, he has to push the button and play the music before he pushes it. I would actually buy one more for him to have at home with Mom and Dad. This is well worth the money.Tuesday, February 11, 2014

Bought for 8 month old niece for christmas. Bright colors, nice sounds, not big and bulky but not small. Just the right size for little hands.The buttons are easy to push. And for a baby working on gross motor skills, this is a good size, very manageable without the fear of her losing an eye.Wednesday, January 1, 2014
Fun Time My 1st Shape Sorter
Buy Fun Time My 1st Shape Sorter Now
Rather cheap plastic and the two halfves of the ball doesn't stay together well. It is too hard for a baby to put back together.I purchased this after reading the only rating on this item at the time which was a 5 star review. The ball will not stay together. Its so weak the baby pulls it right apart. It doesn't stay together long enough for the baby to put the shapes in the slots. This was a waste of money but at least it didn't cost much. Invest in a more expensive sorter that stays in shape.Sunday, December 1, 2013
Lil Characters Unisex-baby Infant Lobster Costume
All this after the first trial fitting that only lasted about 5 minutes.
Once I performed all the above repairs, I was quite happy with the costume. It held up all Halloween eve and the "feet" have become a favorite slipper substitute.

Great item but caution needs to be known about household animals. The material of the costume collectOutfit s animal hair and other debris like crazy so invest in a lint brush. Also, if you live in colder climates requiring layering (Northern USA and Canada) I suggest you go with a bigger size than you need so there is room for the clothing underneath.That all aside the outfit is adorable and I am soo looking forward to our son's first Halloween wearing it.

The World of Eric Carle: Developmental Frog with Sound by Kids Preferred
Buy The World of Eric Carle: Developmental Frog with Sound by Kids Preferred Now
My son loves this toy! It is brightly colored so it gets his attention. It has places to chew on and since he is teething that is a must. It is also easy to clean which is great since some of his other toys are not so easy to clean. He loves to squeeze it and hear the ribbit sound. This helps him to associate the ribbit sound with frogs. It is very durable and a good size for small hands. It is not to small that it would be hard for his little fingers (without much dexterity) to hold onto but not so big that he couldn't hold it in one hand. It is light weight and easily attached to carseats, highchairs, etc.Read Best Reviews of The World of Eric Carle: Developmental Frog with Sound by Kids Preferred Here
Our baby Kate loves reading and playing with all things Eric Carle, the Frog is no exception. I strongly recommend this product.Shipping was prompt

Want The World of Eric Carle: Developmental Frog with Sound by Kids Preferred Discount?
We found out our daughter had torticollis when she was 2 months old (she has one neck muscle shorter than the other, which causes her to look in the same direction all the time). We needed to do exercises and structured play with her at home, with a focus on getting her to actively turn her head from side to side. At 2mos, she was not interested in many toys, and we had a lot of trouble.We received this frog as a gift, and it has been a life saver! The bright color and ribbit sound made this the only toy our daughter would follow for weeks (we have a slew of Lamaze and Eric C development toys this is the winner). We even bring it to physical therapy because she is so good at following it. This is my go-to baby gift!
If you are struggling with torticollis I strongly recommend this toy. Another good one is the Fisher Price crawl-along snail.

Buy Chewy Tube Knobby Texture Now
I bought this as something for my son to chew on, but it is not good for that purpose. First he can whistle it, which is annoying and second, the hole fills with spit and it's disgusting. Maybe for a fidget toy it would be ok, but not for a chewy.Read Best Reviews of Chewy Tube Knobby Texture Here
Our daughter loves this as it keeps her mouth busy so she can focus on activities.Only thing that's frustrating is that it gets dropped, so we just tied a cooking thread as a string and tie it to her jacket.We had one of these before, so we already knew we'd like it. Our four year old is very oral, putting everything in her mouth and grinding her teeth. This has helped a great deal, and is very durable.

My toddler loves this toy. Although it's a crab, there is no finger-pinching (haha), and the noises it makes are clear without being too loud. The toy is very durable and can really take a beating. My son pounces the crab and tosses it around all the time, and it shows no signs of wear. Also, it's really cute and very animated.Read Best Reviews of Kidz Delight Push N Go Crab, Red/Yellow Here
