Dunk & Score Alex
so I called the ALEX offices, and they explained that it works on infrared light. So we turned off the lights in the bathroom and it works like a charm. My son loves playing "basketball in the dark tubby" The lights are so bright and the cheering is great. Sort of added another fun aspect of the toy.For some reason this toy is listen on Amazon multiple times and all the other reviews say it's junk and the score board does not work. Personally, I bought it, and returned it for that exact reason, and the new one had the same problem. It's going back too. Do not buy this.This a great portable game. Unfortunately it doesn't stick to any wall.However it's kept my infant entertain.

Plum Pixie Child Costume
Like most Halloween costumes, it is not built for really heavy use; in particular, the edges of the cloth pieces are serged instead of being hemmed, so fraying is a hazard and I don't believe the costume would hold up to real abuse and lots of self-dressing unless I reinforced the piece edges and seams with some extra stitching. But it should be fine for Halloween. My daughter is mostly happy to put on the wings and traipse around, without the costume, which is good as the wings seem more durable than the dress.
UPDATE AFTER HALLOWEEN: To my surprise, this costume survived being worn for an entire day at preschool (including outdoor play and a nap rolling on those wings), followed by Trick or Treating, and is still fine for dress-up use afterward. The edges of the satiny part of the skirt frayed slightly, but the whole thing held together fine after a great deal of abuse.
I concur with another reviewer that it's a bit light for this to be the only layer worn for trick-or-treating outdoors, though it's OK for an indoor party. We got this costume for our daughter when she was 3 years old. We were pleasantly surprised. It is well made. The wings and accessories (wand and headpiece) are fun too. She is now almost 5 years old and still plays with it. The waist streches well, so it fits different sizes. Wings needed new elastics (after a lot of abuse :-), but they are back in circulation. The costume was worth the money.

The dress itself was exactly as I had pictured. The color is very vibrant and bold. The flowers that adorn it, on the other hand, look very old and cheap. I wound up removing them and added my own flowers to it. The wand and crown both fell apart as soon as we took them out of the package. I had to redo them both. Overall, after I upgraded the costume it turned out very pretty. I would not tell my friends to purchase this costume unless they were prepared to do some work to it.Read Best Reviews of Plum Pixie Child Costume Here
My 3-1/2 year old daughter had this costume for Halloween 2008 the headband, fairy wings, and wand really made this costume come together fantastic!The dress is thin material (so thin that it is almost see-through), so she wore a long sleeve light purple top underneath it (any girl color would work though: pink, light blue, even just white) and she had white tights and did not complain once of being cold.
It is now the number one outfit for dress up tea parties!

I bought this dress for my 3yo daughter in size small and it s to large. But she loved it, so she wear it for a party. After the first washer, the dress doesn t look as pretty as the first day. It is not built for really heavy use.The wand is pretty cheap and break after one use.

Grimm's Small Rainbow Nesting Wooden Blocks Stacker, "Elements" of Nature: AIR
Buy Grimm's Small Rainbow Nesting Wooden Blocks Stacker, "Elements" of Nature: AIR Now
I bought this as part of an educational kit I was building for a classroom. The kit was teaching about rainbows and I thought this would be great for my younger students. My son who is 2.9, took it out one morning and played with it for half an hour straight stacking and unstacking building new structures and reciting the colors in order. It was really cool to watch. It's also beautiful to handle. It's small and a bit pricey, but I would buy it again or as a gift for sure.I bought this stacker from a relative's Wish List so I didn't realize how small this is. This stacker is TINY and NOT worth $22! I'm buying it for a baby and I feel that it could be a choking hazard (as the package warns). I'm returning it asap!Want Grimm's Small Rainbow Nesting Wooden Blocks Stacker, "Elements" of Nature: AIR Discount?
I just learned my lesson. I didn't pay attention to the size of the product. It's very small and it feels unfinished, very rough to the touch. I may still make it a $20 stocking stuffer since it's my fault for not reading the size description. I wouldn't recommend this product.Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Buy Grimm's Set of 5 Small Wooden Stacking & Nesting Rainbow Bowls, Blue Outside Now
Just got these today---bought the version where the largest bowl is red. My 7th month old was immediately drawn to them(threw his teething biscuit aside!) and with gasps and squeals began rolling, banging, and chewing on the bowls. Beautiful design, nice rounded edges. Thought they would be a bit larger, but the bright, saturated colors make up for it. Was initially going to buy the Fisher-Price plastic version but decided to splurge on a longer lasting, higher-quality toy.I hesitated to buy these at first because they were expensive, but I am glad that I ended up going for it. My 12 month old has been playing with them for about 3 months now and still loves them. This is a great toy to explore size relationships and, since everything goes in his mouth, I appreciate that the dyes are non-toxic. At first, some parts of the wood were a little rough, but those spots quickly evened out after some use with no harm done.Want Grimm's Set of 5 Small Wooden Stacking & Nesting Rainbow Bowls, Blue Outside Discount?
When I first got this item, I thought it was rather small and would get lost amongst the rest of the toys. Boy, was I wrong! My son will pull everything out to get to these bowls, well cups. He crawls around the house with one of them at all times. he loves to clang them on our wood floor, and clack them together. I feel that since they are dyed and not painted this makes the item more qualitynot prone to chipping from all the abuse.Tuesday, November 5, 2013
Disney Baby Minnie Infant / Toddler Costume
Also, it was only one piece... so if you are planning on having your little one in the costume for any length of time, diaper changes might be difficult. Since we were only using it for trick-or-treating, it wasn't an issue.I was very upset when receiving this costume!! It looked NOTHING like the picture!!! No hood, short sleeved, very cheap. Now I have to find something else for my 5 month old in 3 weeks and have the hassle of sending it back.

I recived the order in a timley mannor with no problems. The price was cheaper than I had seen on other sites.The qulity was not as good as the disney store, however; it was slightly cheaper. my 1 year old daughter looked very cute and recived many compliments. I would reccomend this product, and company.

My 18 month old daughter was very uncomfortable in this outfit. I cut the elastic on the arms for extra room, but the material was still too scratchy. I thought it ran really small, as she is very petite as it is. The price and look were great, but not practical for a young toddler.It gets destroyed in the wash. More of a one time use type of outfit. Maybe hand wash it to avoid any damage.Sunday, October 20, 2013

I bought the custome based on the picture showed. But, when I received it I felt completely dissapointed since it was incomplete according to what I saw in the picture. Reading the features I realised I made a mistake ordering this "incomplete custome".

Buy Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Tug and Rumble Airplane Now
I thought this was a cute toy when I bought it. My son however had no interest in it. Neither did any of the several children's I showed it to. So while it looks cute it doesn't seem to interest younger children at allRead Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Tug and Rumble Airplane Here
Disappointed with this item. I assumed, incorrectly, that the lead plane would have a little forward motion since the wheels aren't fixed. The toy seems too hard for a very young child to pull. Besides, once pulled, the bungee reaction is instantaneous, not even allowing time to set the planes down on the ground. Pulling while the planes are on the ground is awkward.Want Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Tug and Rumble Airplane Discount?
This toy is just a waste of money. The noise it makes after you pull the cord is really annoying and it doesn't actually move. Don't waste your money on this.Monday, October 7, 2013
Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether
*****UPDATE 3 AND 1/2 YEARS LATER*****
Little Theo in the video is turning 4 at the end of this month and I wanted to comment on what a long and useful life his Sophie had. She endured years of some very hard chewing and never cracked, tore, or got any holes. She got a little dirty and lost some paint, but other than that she was still going strong when Theo finally outgrew her. Her long legs turned out to be perfect for those 2 year molars as well, since they reached all the way back. I ended up throwing her away since it seemed like a really gross hand-me-down, but she was structurally in as good a condition as the day we bought her.
Now we're on baby #2 and Sophie #2. Our daughter had six teeth (four on top, two bottom) when we adopted her at 16 months old and she took to Sophie right away. If you're wondering if Sophie is a good teether for an older infant or a child who already has some teeth and a strong jaw, I give that a wholehearted "Yes!" As long as there are still teeth coming in, Sophie is fantastic.
Please be aware that no young child should be left unattended with any toy including Sophie. Because of her size and shape, she is easy to remove from a child's mouth should something go wrong. As I said, our Sophie lasted over 3 years without any cracking or splitting.
We STILL love Sophie, even after all of these years. Happy teething!
**************************************My 5 month old daughter LOVES her Sophie the Giraffe toy! This toy is absolutely wonderful in every way. Sophie is made of soft rubber and makes a pleasant-sounding squeak whenever any part of her body is squeezed, so even a young baby can elicit a reaction from the toy with minimal effort.
I don't know what it is about Sophie, but whenever my daughter plays with her, she gets very vocal and talkative.
I saw another review which referred to this toy as "a glorified dog toy". That reviewer is mistaken, and simply doesn't realize the value of this toy.
Sophie's body, while soft, has several areas of thicker rubber (the nubs on her head, her ears, and her feet) which are perfect for teething babies to gnaw on for relief.
Sophie's contrasting colors (spots) are visually stimulating to a baby.
She is easy to grip given her long, thin neck.
This toy is made of 100% natural rubber and uses food-grade paint (SAFE!).
This is a quality baby toy which will last for many years.
I would much rather pay $20 for a safe, engaging toy for my baby, than pay $5 for some piece of junk with lead paint.

We just got this for our infant, and I couldn't help but give it a bit of a test chew, myself. Now, I obviously don't have a huge deal of experience (or, memory, rather) with teething toys, but this is good stuff. Very satisfying to bite on. I'm thinking of getting a second one for myself to use in the office to deal with stress. Much better than my kid's silicone pacifier, which I've also tried.My only complaint is that the giraffe appears to have fluorescent lip stick, which is a bit disconcerting to see in a giraffe, even a French one.

Beware! This is a fake! I would have never noticed if I didn't hold it up beside a real one. They are totally different. I figured this out because the paint began to peel off immediately and my cousin told me she had the same problem with one she got off of amazon. She went to a store and bought a replacement that will not peel. When we compared the two, the colors of the giraffe are different, the spots are different, and even the shape and legs are different. It is a shame someone is selling these fakes, or at least a bad version of the toy since the paint will come off in a child's mouth.Want Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether Discount?
We've had Sophie for a little while, and until 3 days ago, I often recommended it to others. I am still a bit traumatized over what happened (and could have happened), and would definitely NOT recommend it unless a baby is secure and unable to roll over with it. I would also strongly caution anyone who owns this toy to PLEASE be careful and supervise your child at all times! I am extremely careful about my children's toys (choking hazards don't stay in the house!), yet the possibility of this hazard didn't even occur to me until it happened. Hopefully, sharing my experience will prevent a tragedy for another family.My teething baby was chewing on Sophie and rolled onto his tummy (he is not yet able to roll from tummy to back consistently). When he rolled, Sophie's long leg jammed into his throat. Since he was on top of it and couldn't roll back, he could not get it out. I was right there and didn't even realize what was happening until he made a muffled crying sound. When I picked him up, he was already turning purple and immediately vomited and started screaming. Just another minute or two and the situation could have turned tragic. So far, neither the US distributor nor the manufacturer has responded to my attempts to contact them, but I'm hopeful they will respond and implement a design change (shorter legs?) to eliminate the possibility of this happening.

Melissa & Doug Wiggling Worm Grasping Toy
This little worm is very durable and although it might be a little wide for some babies' hands to grasp, it wasn't a problem for our 8 month old. He likes to chew on it and watch me contort it into various positions (I love toys as much as any kid!). I love that it's simple enough that it will be a long lasting toy; he could play with this all throughout his childhood as an action figure, for instance.

What a smart toy. The pieces move in multiple directions, as opposed to just twisting one way or the other. It's hard to explain! But we love this wooden toy.Read Best Reviews of Melissa & Doug Wiggling Worm Grasping Toy Here
Good quality, fascinating movement. It seems a little wider than optimal for my babies hands , but my nine year old and I found manipulating it to be addictive!Its also wood, so if your baby likes to bang toys on self, others and things, watch out! For fun and durability 5 stars, for age appropriateness 3 stars.Purchased this toy for my 2 year old child who has special needs. He loves mardi gras beads and I figured this was a much safer interactive toy, he loves it.Saturday, September 14, 2013

Kidoozie Press N Go Inchworm
The only negative (and why it got 4 stars instead of 5) is that it can be broken if you pull it backwords. My daughter did this and I actually heard something inside pop. Now it's just a push toy. But she still loves racing it down the hallway to me.My son received this for his 1st birthday and absolutely loves it. At this point he just shakes it and pushes it around (even backwards... I read in another review that caused theirs to break, but we have had no problems). It's fun for my kids to play with together(my 4 year old likes to hear him laugh when she runs it into him lol)and easy on mommy's ears. :)
We REALLY love this toy and I would highly recommend it!
Buy Kidoozie Press N Go Inchworm Now
This inchworm can be made to roll by just pushing it or by pushing down on the hump on its back. The latter method will make it pick up quite a bit of speed on a hardwood floor!! The best detail is the domed wheels with teeny weeny balls inside and a clear cover, so that baby can see them go move as the wheels turn. I introduced this at approximately 3 months of age. Baby loves to press down on it and lift it off the floor to see the wheels turn (and the beads shake) really fast. As parents, we love that it does not require batteries!! Oh, and apparently the antennae are really good to chew.My 1 year old daughter hasn't really mastered the use of this toy. I would recommend it to older toddlers that enjoy cars or things that roll. The push mechanism seems to be too difficult to use for a younger baby. It does roll quite far when pushed down but I do think it is overpriced for a toy that seems to be made of cheaper plastic. Overallnot sure if I would purchase this again if given the choice, but if your child loves rolling toys they will probably love this.Really like this toy and I think it will be good motivation for my 9mo to start crawling. He can't really press it down at this age/or realize he can make it go, but sure he will figure it out. Does not work really great on carpet, but does go well on the tile floor.
