All State Queen Sheet Set

All State Queen Sheet SetIt is a cute set, however it is super cheap... I don't like anything i have to iron, but this wrinkles so bad during wash that you have to or it is ugly.. I wanted to return it but then the vendor wanted me to pay for shipping back plus an additional $5... NO! I don't reccommend it, you are better off buying any target set for half the price

15" Anne Geddes Baby Bunny

15' Anne Geddes Baby BunnyI purchased this doll for my now 8 year old niece. I had given her the same 1 when she was 1 1/2 years old, and her mom couldn't fix or mend it anymore as it had gotten so much use. I have been looking for this doll for the last 6 years,so when I presented it to her on her Birthday this year, well let's just say nothing can warm the heart like the smile of a child!!!!!

Nuby Wacky Teething Ring

Nuby Wacky Teething RingBought this for my 5 month old granddaughter. My daughter said she chewed on it for 4 hrs straight and loved the 2 little krinkly ears on it. Easy for baby to hold on to.

My son loves this teether because it is not cold for him to hold like sonme of the all ice teethers. There is 1 ice part but the entire piece gets cold. The 2 cloth parts make crinkle noises which he loves as well.

Alex Toys Learn to Dress Monkey

Alex Toys Learn to Dress MonkeyThis is a really cute, happy looking monkey that actually teaches without batteries, lights or noise! He has several dressing activities, similar to Dressy Bessy and Dapper Dan. He has a zipper, buttons, straps, etc. to help the little ones learn to dress. It has a lot of detail, check out the shoes! He even has a little banana that can be stored in his pocket, which for some reason fascinates my young grandson! This is a well made, sturdy toy that my grandson loves to play with and love.

My 2 year old loves this monkey. He has fun undressing him when I put the clothes on it (he can't quite get the clothes on the monkey himself yet, but he can sure take them off!). He also loves to wear the 'monkey socks'.

Unlike many of the other 'learn to dress' toys, the individual components of this one are sturdy and well made. The buttons are oversized and are just the right size for little hands. Overall, this is great for teaching children about different types of clothing fastener.

I was looking for a doll with learn to dress features..and ran across this item. I ordered two, one for each two year old granddaughter. They are not quite old enough to perform all the tasks, but will learn. The colors are vivid, the girls love them. You need to know that every piece of clothing comes off....shoes, socks, even the shoe laces, in case you have a child who immediately takes all loose objects off!

I bought this doll for my 2 year old Granddaughter for Christmas. She likes to buckle and unbuckle things so I thought this would be a good toy for her to learn how to button, snap and tie. After she opened it and began to play with it I realized that the buttonhole was too small for the button and the snaps were extremely hard to snap and unsnap. I was thoroughly disappointed in the quality of this toy. I thought it was supposed to help a child learn not frustrate the child! Would definately NOT recommend this toy!

Want Alex Toys Learn to Dress Monkey Discount?

Like other reviewers have mentioned, the buttons are poorly attached one of ours came off the first day, within 30 minutes of play, and our little girl is very gentle with her toys. But what is a bigger issue, in my opinion, is the feet on this doll. The feet are not shaped like feet, they're just 'balls' on the end of the legs, and most importantly, they're soft. They're like round socks filled with stuffing. So getting the socks and shoes onto these 'feet' is a little difficult even for an adult, and practically impossible for a 3 year old. They feet should have been make of a hard material, like a plastic or some kind of stiff rubber, and they should have been shaped like actual feet. As it is, they are useless in helping a child learn to put on shoes and socks. Also, the zipper is cheap and a bit of a challenge to open and close. I find it quite disappointing, because this is a great idea for a learning toy, just very poorly executed.

Ty Beanie Babies 2.0 Sledder Husky

Ty Beanie Babies 2.0 Sledder  HuskyI purchased three of these Beanie Babies for my son. His sister gave him one and our dog got to it and destroyed it. I purchased the sledder husky and it's not the same as illustrated. I received a sledder husky but I received the one with the big eyes. I am returning them back because they are not similiar at all. Otherwise shipment was fast and packaged well.

Our 4 yet old loves huskys and she was thrilled with this as a gift. It matches the rest of the TY brand family of huskys she already owns. Very soft and very cute

we were giving a TY Beanie Babie that my daughter loved... we were worried she was loving it a little to much and if it ever got lost, needed to be cleaned, etc we would have a problem on our hands. So we found the right one and ordered a back up... it's close but not exactly the same... missing the lighting bolt and the eyes are a diffrent shade of blue.

Waddlers Rubber Ducks Family-Party Rubber Duck bath toy that squeaks-bath tub toy-rubber duckies birthday party favors gift N special celebration deluxe giftI purchased several waddlers rubber ducks.

The colors are very clear and bright, however the party duck had the little blower pulled out of his mouth first thing and there is no way to fix it.

Nature's Purest Pure Love Jingle Ball

Nature's Purest Pure Love Jingle BallOur baby is on the way, so I have yet to see how the baby will like it. I, however, think it is beautifully made and the "jingle" is a pleasing tone that sounds more like a wind chime. I am thankful to find sweet, gender neutral items, as we don't yet know what we are having. This would make a great gift for any baby,

Haba Bouncy Beetle Dangling figure

Haba Bouncy Beetle Dangling figureThis is another quality HABA toy, but I need to mention that it didn't arrive exactly as it was described. The string is not elastic, so this beetle does not really "bounce". If you are familiar with Haba's "Max" and their pacifier chains, the string used in those products is the same in this item.

While the toy is very high quality and made of completely smooth wood, the 'wings' are made of a soft plastic and only one of our wings moves and twists like the description. I also think it would be more interesting if all the parts were moveable like their other elastic-bound products. The hat, head, and body are all one glued piece.

Overall, a nice product...just being descriptive

Corolle Babicorolle Babipouce Flower - 12" Doll

Corolle Babicorolle Babipouce Flower - 12' DollMy nine month old was so thrilled to receive this doll. She squeals with delight whenever she sees her. Flower is just the right size, not too heavy for baby to pick up, but big enough to hug, kiss, and cuddle. Sure to become a favorite toy!

This award winning little Corolle Babipouce is the perfect "first Baby doll" for any child.I chose her for my 6 month old granddaughter.

She is very unique.She is cuddly and soft and just the right size for my grandchild to hold.

Although our child has other nice stuffed animals and a plush/stuffed crib "doll", she really prefers her Corolle doll.I love the detail of the dolls sweet face, and I think this is why my granddaughter is drawn to it too.

Another great feature is that this doll is safe for infants and washable.

We were at a toy store looking for a gift for a friend. To keep her busy, I gave my daughter this doll in a box to play with. When we were done with our shopping I tried to take it back from her and she started to absolutely WAIL and reach for her dear baby... She was only 9 months old and I had never seen her so excited and attached to any toy. So I ended up buying it for her. It is one of her favorite toys. She is 11 months old now and absolutely loves it.

Rocking Horse with Animated Head and Tail - Black and White

Rocking Horse with Animated Head and Tail - Black and WhiteThis is my second purchase of an Animated Rocking Horse from Chrisha Creations

I bought the 1st one for my oldest son's first child 9 1/2 years ago. It is still in great shape, has been played on by 2 rough and

tumble boys, the 9 year old still occasional gets on his when the mood strikes and they are up to something. It is in the same

shape as when 1st purchase.

The first one was bought with the intention of being passed on throughout the family, however 2nd son's first baby is on the way, and a 3rd grandchild(oldest son's) will play with the original pony. I bought the Rocking horse with animated head and tail for the anticipated arrival of 4th grandchild. This new one is absolutely adorable. Thank you Crisha Creations for keeping up the good work

Deglingos Crib and Car Seat Activity Spiral

Deglingos Crib and Car Seat Activity Spiral, Nonos the DogBoth my little one and I adore this toy. However it rips quite easily if you aren't patient when trying to unravel it from your car seat.

There's different texture of the fabrics, bright colors that catches baby's eyes, fun to play with vibrating pouch ball, little mirror, squeaky, rustling effects. Very decent product, my baby loves it.

I didnt get this off Amazon, but my mom got one for my 3.5 month old for Christmas and she is OBSESSED with it. I can put it on her belly, hang it from her car seat, her stroller, her high chair, her bouncy seat, everything! Depending on how you wrap it you can show all different stimulatory textures and effects. She likes the feeling of the different fabrics, and she is always chewing on the crinkly ears and hard nose of the dog. I highly recommend this toy.

Jellycat Medium Yellow Bashful Duckling 12

Jellycat Medium Yellow Bashful Duckling 12very soft. she loves it and takes it to bed with her nightly. perfect size for her to cuddle up with. she is 2

Although this duck can't take the place of my daughter's other beloved (but retired) jellycat animals she does enjoy giving it hugs. It's so soft and squishy. It's tough to find a full picture of some of the jellycat animals. The height is the total height, toes to head. The legs are short, about 2.5".

This is the first Jellycat animal I've bought. I first purchased the small but I thought it was too small for my almost three year old. She wants a Duck theme birthday so I bought this to sit inside a wreath but when she saw the Jellycat Bashful Black & Cream Puppy (large) I bought for another child I had to bring this out. The duck has traveled with us and he sleeps in her bed. I highly recommend this or any other Jellycat product, at least from the Bashful or Woodland line.

I can't comment on the durability yet, but based on first impressions it is top quality. Will definately be buying more Jellycat animals in the future.

Skip Hop Treetop Friends Soft Activity Book

Skip Hop Treetop Friends Soft Activity BookIt's easy on my eyes and there are lots of different things in this toy for my baby to play with. The details are very thoughtful (hard plastic leaf that acts as a teether, tiny mirror, lots of crinkly plastic) and make this a really great improvement on the usual soft books that are out there.

My son, age 6 months loves this toy. If he's not turning pages, he is chewing on the leaf. The loop that attaches it to things is not very strong so he can easily pull it off his stroller or car seat if I have attached it but it's still worth it. This is one of the most entertaining items we have had. Plus, it's cute. You can't beat the design.

Kids Preferred Stacking Nesting Blocks, Classic Pooh

Kids Preferred Stacking Nesting Blocks, Classic PoohThese blocks are very fun to stack and let the child topple over. They can also be used as drums, or to play games to cover up other toys. Our daughter finds new uses for them weekly. They are one of her favorites. Her other favorite is this plush toy.

I was expecting these to be soft plastic..something that could easily be cleaned especially since they are for 6 months +. They are actually cardboard. The designs and pictures are nice but any time my 9month old uses them, I will have to be right there with her to stop her from trying to chew them or crush them. Plastic would have been much better as far as clean ability and durability.

Planet Toys Planet Earth Large Plush Animals with unseen footage DVD Assortment - Giant Panda

Planet Toys Planet Earth Large Plush Animals with unseen footage DVD Assortment - Giant PandaWe get our children a stuffed animal from TRU each year for Christmas. Last year we waited until the last minute, and the selection of "nicer" stuffed animals was horrible. Wandering around the store, we found these. Son (6 yr) got a panda and daughter (8 yr) got a polar bear. They both LOVE them! They have watched the BBC documentary that came with the toys several times, and proceeded to repeat many facts to me about each bear. My son sleeps w/ his panda every night w/out fail, therefore it has been machine washed several times in the last 6 months and has held up just fine.

This toy is rated by the manufacturer for 2 and up. It contains a medium sized stuffed panda and a 22 minute DVD documentary. My 3 1/2 year old selected this item as a treat. We were both disappointed. The stuffed panda is of moderate quality and is certainly not worth even $15. The documentary on the DVD was not appropriate for this age group. It is an old BBC documentary on pandas that has that typical monotone narrator voice. That would have been fine except topics covered include mating, inbreeding, poachers, and how when twins are born one typically dies because the mother will not nurse them. It was a very boring video for my daughter but even she started asking questions that I would have preferred not to answer at 3 1/2. I would highly recommend selecting a higher quality stuffed panda with the money and skipping the DVD.

This toy is for educational purposes. I would let the children watch only segments of the video and not in its entirity. The stuffed animal is a good reading buddy because it is washable. It is worth what I paid for it becasue of its educational purpose.

My First Easter Basket - Baby Gund

My First Easter Basket - Baby GundI didnt look at measurements and it's very small but it is cute, But I don't think i's worth $25

This is very durable and sturdy and can all easily be washed. Things squeak and rattle and she played with this for a long time!

Buy My First Easter Basket - Baby Gund Now

I bought this for my daughter for her first Easter, and she absolutely loved it. She carried it with her everywhere, and got a kick of out the crinkle sound it made. The bunny is very cute as well, and she was shortly entertained by the rattle inside it. The little chick got her attention whenever you pressed it, since it makes little 'peep peep' noises. She even loved the basket it came in, and liked to empty it and fill it with different toys.

Cons:

It doesn't teach your child anything at all, besides what noise a baby chick would make.

A child can become bored very easily with it if they're a bit older. I would think ages 3-9 months would be the best age for this toy.

Pros:

Very durable, a dog got a hold of the little egg and it still hasn't torn and still makes the crinkle noise. The chick still makes 'peep' noises and the bunny still rattles almost a year later.

Small (but not unsafe) enough she likes to carry it around with her

Very soft

Overall, I would purchase this as a gift for someone I knew with a new child on Easter.

Crawl 'N' Learn

Crawl 'N' LearnThis toy comes with the two blow-up toys. One is a traditional beach ball, the other is the same but a cylinder. Both has a jingle bell cat-toy ball in them. My ten month old lunges after them and bats them aroundthey're cute. The picture on the site and the package are deceivingbecause they are pretty small so be sure to check the measurements.

I'm pretty sure a regular beach ball might do the same trick. :-)

Kids Preferred Amazing Baby Develpmental

Kids Preferred Amazing Baby Developmental Sound Photo CubeMy daughter is 3 months old, and we just purchased this toy for her. She loves that the rings on both sides allow her to grab the bee and then put it into her mouth to explore. The wings "crunch" and are shiny which gives her different textures to explore. Because it is light it is easier for her to grab and play with by herself than some of her lamaze toys which have similar features, but are very large and difficult for her to hold by herself.

I picked this up for my 6 month old and she loved it for about 5 months. We took it everywhere (the link is helpful-if it's not long enough for you, just add another link) and it always amused her. I was a little concerned about her chewing on the little butterfly and little sun attached to the larger piece. I worried that they could come off and choke her. THey never did, but I will be very careful about those pieces with her new sister. When my eldest finally stopped playing with it I put it away and brought it out again when she was 18 months old, she loved it again. This time she loved playing baby butterfly and mommy butterfly. I'm getting another one for her new sister.

This is a fun product for a baby--there are a bunch of similar things out there--but what amazes me most is that I sent it through the washing machine HOT HOT water and it STILL WORKS, sounds and all. Very impressed by its construction, it totally held up.

The colors are bright, it makes a crinkle noise, and accomodates bigger photos than most baby cubes. And the noises--baby laughing, baby gurgling, a big kiss--are engaging. It's on the larger size but light. I think it's worth the $$.

This photo cube is a great idea for kids that you don't live near because you can put photos of yourself so they recognize you when you visit. My only critique is that the cute noises it makes are unpredictable. I could only figure out how to get one of the noises to work on command and the others seemed random. Either way, I'm sure my niece will like it.
