Playskool Poundin' Bedbugs

Playskool Poundin' Bedbugsmy baby loves the hammer. this is a safe toy reviewed by healthytoys.com, no harmful chemicals or toxins so safe for baby to chew on.

I ordered this toy because my 1 year old loves to play with toys that pop up and down and are interactive. After reading all of the great reviews, I had such high hopes of this being a fun toy for him. When it arrived, I immediately noticed how cheaply made it was and was very small. I definitely paid WAY too much for this toy. The "bedbugs" are too hard for him to press down, even with his bare hands. He ends up using the hammer to hit on everything else in the house, which he loves but I could have saved myself a lot of money and just purchased a hammer. Do not waste your money on this toy!

I bought this for my son because someone gave my mother in law one to keep at her house. He loves it. He is only 1 and has not learned how to use the hammer part yet, but he can spend a good amount of time entertaining himself just pushing down the ones that pop up.

Wonderworld Spacy Baby Toy

Wonderworld Spacy Baby ToyThe size of this toy is just perfect for little hands to grab and little gums to chew on. It makes a pleasant noise when shaken, and flexes in many different directions.

(My little one is currently 4 months old, and when I showed this to him in a toy store his eyes lit up and it was instantly grabbed and put straight into his mouth. Needless to say, if you drool on it, you bought it. It's become one of his absolute favorite toys.)

This toy was quite a bit smaller than I thought it would be. It is alot of fun though. My son has a lot of fun manipulating this toy by bending it and smashing it this way and that. Very high quality in my opinion.

My developmentally delayed son enjoyed this from about 6 months to maybe 13 months old but loosing interest for now at 15 months.

This is the first toy my 6 week old baby grasped and held onto, before she even deliberately understands what "holding" is. It gave me great pleasure to see her do it, and it does seem like she is improving her grasp the more she uses this toy.

Disney Mickey Mouse Shape Sorter Toy

Disney Mickey Mouse Shape Sorter ToyThis a well themed Mickey toy. It's a great version of the standard Fisher Price shape sorter. It only costs $10.00US on site at Disney World, though. I'm not sure why it's $49.99 here.

The Babymio Collection BaBa Lovey Tag-A-Long

The Babymio Collection BaBa Lovey Tag-A-Long, ChiChi the Cheetah IvoryThis "Lovey" blanket is indeed cute, but it seemed quite small when I received it. I certainly didn't feel that it was worth the 20-something dollars I paid for it. However, it seems soft and well-made. I was just disappointed in it's size.

My Grandson's nickname is Moose, I searched forever for just the right lovey for him; once I saw this I knew it was perfect. At first I was disappointed by the size I'm sure I read the description, but didn't really think about it. Once he had it in his little hands though, I knew the size couldn't have been a better fit. There wasn't so much he would trip over it, and it was just enough he could cuddle up with it and have his arms covered.

My son loves this lovey! It has a silky inside and soft nubby outside. The moose is kind of felted so there are many textures for baby to explore. I only gave it a 4 because some of the stitching has loosened a little, I also think it is a little overpriced. But otherwise this is a great product if your baby loves blankies!

Camden Rose Cherry Bowl and Baby Spoon Set

Camden Rose Cherry Bowl and Baby Spoon SetI've had this game for several months. It's a fun simple concept. Sometimes the marbles do go flying though if you hit them hard, and if you had a couple of kids playing they'd probably lose some marbles. I tried to get my 3 year old niece to give it a go, and she loved the game, but only because she loved moving the marbles around to the various holes and decorating the game!

Disney Minnie Mouse Bow-tique Favor Purses Party Accessory

Disney Minnie Mouse Bow-tique Favor Purses Party AccessoryIt is small, however so are most treat bags. I also purchased the minnie party favor pack and pinata candy. I was able to fit the 5 favors from the pack and another 5 candies inside each purse. The activity sheet was rolled up and laid across the top under the flap of the purse. I used them for my 2 year olds birthday party at daycare. Since she has a coed class I used the mickey mouse versions for the boys. Everything looked great and the children enjoyed themselves. That's all that mattered to me.

The minnie purse is cute. well put together.and it arrived on time. the only thing is they are very small .they cannot be used to hold goodies so i used it to decorate the tables

Buy Disney Minnie Mouse Bow-tique Favor Purses Party Accessory Now

This item is called Minnie Mouse Favor Box, but you cannot stuff ANY favors in it, it is tiny, size description should be mandatory, there are no pictures next to anything else to get an idea of the size. Print quality is good, material is a little flimsy.

Definitely NOT a Favor Box.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy - Pink

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy - PinkI bought this when my daughter was 4 months old. She immediately took to the music and smiled. Now at 9 mos, this is one of her favorite toys to play with. She loves squeezing the puppy's ear especially. My only complaint is that the paws are too sensitive. For example: If we are playing a song and one of the other sensories taps, lets say, the bed or my arm, it will change to that other function or say "goodbye." Other than that I think it is a very cute and fun toy for my little girl.

This product is adorable and fun, not overly educational, as it is very sensitive and the slightest touch will send it into something different, so they don't have time to learn a song while it changes and changes.

My biggest beef is the NON MACHINE WASHABLE MATERIAL! This product is made for toddlers and infants and you cannot throw it in the washing machine.......and to make matters worse, the material attracts every stray pet hair, piece of lint and MY hair to it and dirt.......you can wipe it off and two seconds later it is covered, again. I AM NOT A PIG, I vacuum daily, but I have a cat and a dog, a sweater and I have hair!!!! My hair is on it, when I touch it, my sweater rubs off on it, we have an afghan on the couch that is on it.......... it is NOT a clean toy!

I have no idea what Fisher-Price was thinking......use a material that doesn't attract all the yuck, please!!

I bought this for my daughter for her first Birthday and this is her favorite she won't let anyone play with it and she has to sleep with it everynight so I just keep it in her crib and she plays with it everymorning for 20 mins.. she just loves this. Great buy think everyone should get this for there little ones!

The dog was so cute and my daughter LOVES the singing and moving, but it is SO loud when the arms and the ears move...almost louder than the singing is!!! SLIGHTLY ANNOYING, but since she is 1 and just views it as "song and dance" i guess we will keep it....

Sesame Street Super Grover 2.0 Infant / Toddler Costume

Grover 2.0 Kids Costume - 12-18 monthsI am very disappointed in this product. Although it does look just as the picture it runs EXTREMELY small. No sizing charts were available upon ordering. My son is a small 2T so that is what I ordered but needless to say not only is it WAYYY to short in the legs it is also very snug. My son says the costume HURTS! The return policy makes it kind of difficult and expensive at this point to exchange or return it. The seller did get us our product fast though so they gets points for that. I just wish there was something to that I could do now as my son is upset about his costume. And its not like they are cheap!!!!

this costume fits really well and every small child loves sesame street so who wouldn't want to be super grover

Buy Sesame Street Super Grover 2.0 Infant / Toddler Costume Now

Adorable costume. My kid loves it, he does not want to take it off. Very comfortable, very good quality. Highly recommend. True to size (my son is 5 yo). It will fit 4 and 6 yo as well.

Read Best Reviews of Sesame Street Super Grover 2.0 Infant / Toddler Costume Here

I ordered this costume in size 2T for my 2-year old and it was ridiculously small on him his legs were sticking out and it was too tight in the crotch area. I should mention that my son is no giant, he was only 26 months on Halloween, he's skinny only 25th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. There is no was size 2T will fit an average 2-year old child.

Annoying thing is that this costume does not qualify for free shipping, so I ended up paying additional $8 for shipping (way overpriced). Another problem was return/exchange it cannot be done through Amazon, I had to deal with Costume SuperCenter. And since I didn't buy the costume directly with them, I didn't qualify for their free exchange program. Needless to say I had to pay to ship the small costume back to them, and then I had to pay the overpriced shipping of $8 yet again when I ordered a size larger (this time from their website).

Costume SuperCenter did, eventually (after almost 1 month) refund me the money I paid for the first costume, but I lost over $20 on shipping charges. Way too much money.

And FYI, the next size up is not 3T, but size 3T/4T, which is huge for a change. So I had to hand-stitch the sleeves and pants, both were too long. But I guess it's better than short...

All in all, the costume is cute, especially the head piece (the outfit itself looks a little cheap though). But definitely not worth the hassle of returning/exchanging, hand-stitching and paying close to $50 overall.

WEE Set - 5 Piece Set

WEE Set - 5 Piece SetWe used these in a Montessori classroom I worked in so I was super excited to find these made for toddlers! My 20 month old loves them. She is hard to please when it comes to toys. She likes something and easily loses interest. Her favorite toys are building toys like duplos, blocks and puzzles so I figured she would like this. She loves it! She loves that it fits in several different ways. She uses the larger pieces as bracelets and hats and its soft so she can still chew on it when teething. As a teacher and a mom I love that she can learn so much from one toy and for a decent price! This may seem boring to adults but I can assure you wedgits are awesome toys for toddlers and preschoolers. I've seen the larger wedgit sets played with for hours. Children learn sensory features from this toy along with giving them hands on experience with geometry. I believe every child should own a wedgit toy!

My daughter got this when she was 18 months old. She absolutely loves it. She is 2 now and plays with it everyday.

This is a great product for babies, but unfortunately it does not work with the regular Wedgit set.

Winnie The Pooh Friendship Tub Tower

Winnie The Pooh Friendship Tub TowerMy daughter received these as a birthday gift in December 2006 and in June 2008 they are still in excellent shape. They are very durable and the suction cup on the cup stand is very strong. They're inexpensive and they don't get mildewy or gross in the tub or shower. I'd recommend them to the Pooh fan in your house or as a great gift for any little one who enjoys their tub time.

My kids have had this toy for at least two years and it's still one of their favorites. I was looking for it as a gift now for my nephew and thought I'd leave a review. So many tub toys are the same 'ol, same 'ol...this is one of those that's NOT. It's held up great, even after being sanitized in a bleach solution several times. No mold, no fading, no cracks or missing pieces. Love it!

My daughter loves having these in the tub. BUT the only thing she does with them is try to drink out of them. The water also rarely turns the wheel unless poured directly on it. If you don't mind your kids drinking the bath water they will love these. If you do I suggest finding something else.

Skip Hop Roll Around

Skip Hop Funky Farmyard Roll Around PigThis is one of my son's favorite toys. He's been playing with this toy for a few months now. He's 5 months old and still loves holding/playing with it. Super soft with a great rattle noise. Will be a good crawling incentive.

Nice big, rolly poly cow! Love the twinkle bell sound it makes and the crinkly appendages. My puppies love it, too. ;)

Buy Skip Hop Roll Around Now

Adorable stuffed animal. Gave to my nephew when he turned 1. He didn't seem very interested, but I'm pretty sure it was because he was very tired and cranky. He didn't particularly like anything. LOL. Anyway, its super soft, and the ears make a rustling sounds. Would be easy for a baby/toddle to hold and bang around on things with.

We use it as a ball. We love it because it's bells are not anything loud and obnoxious but sweet and tame.

Want Skip Hop Roll Around Discount?

Based on the title for this item, I was under the impression that this cow bounced and rolled around on it's own but it doesn't. It's simply a round plush cow with a bell inside. It works as a nice ball to play with indoors whether playing catch or even kicking it because it is so soft. There are no plastic parts, like eyes, so it would be great for a baby but maybe a little awkward to hold.

Sassy Twist N Turn Rattle

Sassy Twist N Turn RattleMy son was not interested in this rattle. It looks nice, but it's not very easily manipulated. It's also bigger than I expected. My son prefers skinnier rattles with things that move (addition rings etc.) attached to them, so this one was rather boring for him. He puts it down after only a few seconds without another glance. I gave it three stars because there isn't anything structurally wrong with the rattle, it just doesn't appeal to my son.

No complaints against the product but from the second I got it my daughter was not at all amused with this thing. Honestly, neither was I. I wouldn't classify it as a rattle and it doesn't sound very loud which could by one reason why it didn't hold my daughters attention.

Buy Sassy Twist N Turn Rattle Now

My son really likes this toy it has bright colors and rattles and it's textured. One thing I was a little disappointed about was that it doesn't twist/rotate like the very similar figure eight-shaped toy. But that's fine--my son still likes this one.

Gund Lolly Musical Giraffe Waggie Keywind 8" Plush

Gund Lolly Musical Giraffe Waggie Keywind 8' PlushIt is my tradition to give a Gund musical plush toy to newborns as a keepsake. This one is especially cute because it moves its head and plays a unique tune. I could have spent hours if not days searching for one in town, but I found just what I wanted at Amazon.com and received it in three days. Thanks again, Amazon, for a great product and great service!

This is a sweet music stuffed toy that when winded up, the sweet giraffe wags his head back and forth. All of my kids love cuddling with this toy, this will be a favorite for years to come.

Under The Nile Bear Ring

Under The Nile Bear Ring, Ice BlueI saw this when I was pregnant with my first baby and just loved how eco-friendly and organic it is. We received it as a gift, and I was delighted to give it my little girl to clutch when she was about four months old. Unfortunately, she has never been interested in it as a teether or as a playtoy. (She is now two and a half.) I thought maybe it was just her, but our second baby has shown no interest in it either ever and he is now 13 months old. I think it's been played with for less than two minutes in all the time that we've had it, even when I have handed it to them and there have been no other toys in sight. It might be just my children, but I think babies are more interested in something that is thinner, brighter, and easier to hold. The Sassy Bumble Bites Teether -1 Toy, for example, is not so eco-friendly, but both of my babies have loved it for teething.

As much as I want to like this little teething bear, it has been completely useless for my babies. If you're looking for a teether for your own baby or as a gift, I'd recommend finding something bright and BPA free. It will be far more useful than this item will be!

My baby likes chewing on the little arms of the bear but they don't seem to get all the way back to his molars which he gets frustrated with sometimes. Still, it's nice to know that my baby is chewing on something non-toxic!

Buy Under The Nile Bear Ring Now

I bought this toy for my baby and two more to give as gifts. After a few days of being chewed on, the seams on one of the little arms gave and it came almost entirely free. This is a huge choking hazard! I'm going to remove that arm completely and probably take the other one off as well (there is solid fabric underneath) so I don't have to worry. If I do give the other two as gifts, I'll be sure to give them with a strong warning. However, I'll probably just be returning them. Very disappointing that such a cute, natural product turned into a danger to my infant.

Gund 16" Curious George Plush Figure

Gund 16' Curious George Plush FigureGund never makes a bad stuffed toy! I have been buying this brand for 24 years! Now I have one for the next generation and he loves his curious George ! Great craftsmen ship and quality

My daughter loves watching episodes of curious george.I debated between this gund curious george and the russ berrie plush curious george. They are all expensive for a stuffed animal, but this one was cheaper, so that's what I bought. This george is very soft and a great size, and my daughter loves him and recognizes him as her "cu jo". I was a bit surprised at how large his head seems for his body once I saw it in real life, rather disproportionate. Maybe the Russ Berrie version would have been better? I wish there was a version that looked more like the curious george on tv.

Disney Mickey Mouse Activity Ring Teether

Disney Mickey Mouse Activity Ring TeetherMy son is 8 months old and doesn't do toys other than a few favorites. but this one after 10 minutes went through hell. the throwing it and laughing. and everything else... he simply loves it. he loves chewing on it and playing with it... if you get this toy i would say you should get the Baby Rattle Holder Cream and Green Swirl Loopy that folds the toy to their wrist so they dont 'lose it'. They dont actually lose it but my son cries once it is gone.. the rattle holder you can buy here. It's GREAT it keeps it attatched to them. So that doesnt happen.
