Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Soft Activity Book
Buy Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Soft Activity Book Now
I got this for my daughter for Christmas a few months ago. She was eight months old at the time and liked it then. She still likes it now at eleven months. It is very cute and it makes enough of a crinkly sound to be interesting, but is still pretty quiet. It has been chewed on and yanked at and seems to be sturdily constructed. I was slightly disappointed by the fact that the fox's feet are sewn on in a way that partially covers the words, "F is for fox." It would be easy to fix with a seam ripper-there are two lines of stitching and taking out just one row would uncover the words.Read Best Reviews of Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Soft Activity Book Here
I was very disappointed in this item. There are no "activities" except for a crinkle sound and a small mirror. The colors are not bright, as shown in the photo, but rather muted and muddy. For what it is, this item is overpriced and will not capture a child's imagination or interest for long. I would not buy it again.My boy loves this activity book, it could brings lots fun. Only one slight problem is this book got bit smell, I guess could be the new material, tried wipe it with damp cloth, but seems doesn't work. So I avoid my boy chewing with it, and put it away for a while wait for the strange smell fading away.Tuesday, August 19, 2014
Razbaby RaZberry Teether
Now about it coming apart, the green and red and green and blue teether's are two parts brought together, however the pink and the light blue teethers are one peice (i.e. there is no way it will come apart!!). I completely recommend the light blue, considering that is the one I bought for my baby boy. It is a very nice color, just as shown in the picture, and it is only about fifty cents more than the original "raZ-berry teether".
So, if you really want the contrast in colors, you can take the risk with one of the dual-color raz-berry teethers; Many people have been more than happy with the those and never had a problem with it coming apart. But personally, I would recommend the one-color ones; They are just as cute and you won't have to worry about the possibility that it will come apart. Enjoy!

I ordered this item from a different site and I was excited when it arrived but that was short lived. When I open the package I realized the teether was poorly made. I could see a seam where the handle part of the teether was attached to the base. I could see the silicone type glue that was used to attach the two pieces together. With a little bit of pulling I was able to separate the two pieces. This was immediately thrown away. I was glad I never gave this to my child. If he pulled it off he could have choked.**I am adding an edit to this review. The teether that I was reviewing was the one with either the red bulb or the blue bulb. Reading other reviews it appears as the light blue one and the pink one are one solid piece. Since I do not have the solid one I can not verify that information 100%.
**Edit once again. I have ordered the all blue teether and I can confirm it is all one piece. While my son doesn't really care for the teether I think it is made well and I am sure other kids would enjoy it.My fourth month old little girl has been teething for some time already, and we have tried many teethers. But this by far is the best. It is so easy for her to put in her mouth without getting fustrated. The berry part is the perfect size and shape for her mouth. My daughter does not use any kinds of pacifers but this teether she loves. I will be giving it as gifts to all the news moms I know.My son absolutely loved this but my mom and I had the scariest experience ever. Do not let your child use this unless you are watching them constantly. We both took our eyes away from him for just a second and he turned the binky around and started sucking on the handle. The handle is soft and with my son sucking it, it lodged in his throat. The thing was almost completely in his mouth! It took two of us to get that thing out. I contacted them and they said they would send an envelope so that we could send it back to get tested however they never sent it. To make matters worse, somehow he found another one (we bought a few of them) and it almost happened a second time. If you care for your child safety, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!

Emma Wall Border - 8" x 30'
Emma Wall Border 8" x 30''I have never decorated a room with wall paper or border but this was very easy to use and put up. It's an adorable print and one roll went a long way. I love it and would recommend this product and pattern to anyone looking for cute nursery ideas.

The design is really cute and was there was enough of it to go around her room (approx 10 X 12), skipping her large closet and door. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I wish that it was a peel and stick. It's just a minor detail, as I realize that most qua lit wallpaper has the glue back. This is they type you need to soak to acticate the glue and then paste it to the wall and use a rag ad a straight edge to ease it onto the wall. It takes a bit of time and is messy, however it looks really nice!Read Best Reviews of Emma Wall Border - 8" x 30' Here
IS SUCH A GOOD QUALITY AND VERY PRETTY.IT DOES WHAT IS SAID. IT IS EASY TO PUT ON, AND DOES NOT LEAVE ANY GLUE LEFT ON THE WALL, IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE IT LATER. WHEN I WAS PUTTING MINE ON THE WALL, I MESS ONE UP, SO I USED SPRAY GLUE AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE, DID NOT MESS THE PAPER UP.I didn't find this pattern to be nearly as cute in person as it looked online. I ended up returning it. The color that looks tan is actually a green brown. I found it to be kinda ugly.

Binkibear The Original Pacifier, Classic Brown
The directions I got with the bear state that it can be tossed in the washing machine pacifier and all but I have not done that. It's a personal preference, just not sure how safe it is to get laundry detergent on a pacifier, even if it's rinsed. So I wash the pacifier by hand with hot water and replace it when necessary.
When I first bought this my baby (then 8 months) did not like this bear because it was a bit heavy and it kept pulling the pacifier out of her mouth. Within a few days, though, she really got used to it. Before buying this, I was going nuts in the dark trying to locate the pacifier in her crib, and the fact that she has designs on her crib sheets didn't help matters because it was easier to lose among them! I purchased this bear to solve my problem, and it solved my baby's problem, too when she starts crying at night she locates the bear (easy enough to do, even half asleep), puts the pacifier in her mouth and falls back asleep in no time. This bear is a lifesaver!My title says it all. This is better than any of the other ones out there, especially if you have a toddler that's always trying to figure out how to take things apart. My little one is obsessed! Thank you to who made this!!! We use nuk, natursutten, and dr browns with this guy. Only problem, where can we buy a pink one!!???

I used this bear to break my daughter from her pacifier. We used her own paci on it for a while and then switched over to the included teether. It actually worked! She's 19 months old now and she still loves this bear. She won't sleep without it. I wound up buying a second one just in case she loses the first one.Read Best Reviews of Binkibear The Original Pacifier, Classic Brown Here
My one year old daughter LOVES her BinkiBear! It's especially great at night because she would always call us if she could not find her pacifier in the middle of the night. The teddy it is attached to is too big to fall through the crib slats like her other pacifiers so now it is very easy for her to find and put herself back to sleep! It's great to take on trips for the same reason you don't have to worry about keeping track of it or having extras "just in case". We also noticed when we take the binky off to wash, she will cuddle with the bear because she is very used to having the bear around when it's rest time. As we get ready to start weening her off the pacifier, it makes us feel better that she is just as much in love with the teddy bear as the binky and we believe it will make the transition easier for her. I also like that you can use almost any pacifier because when we first got it, she didn't like that type of binky (she does now). It also comes with a teether that you can use with it or by itself. The paci and bear have been washed probably a hundred times and its held up quite well. Would highly recommend!Want Binkibear The Original Pacifier, Classic Brown Discount?
These are really wonderful. However, they are $10 on lots of other sites including the gumdrop pacifier site and come with a gumdrop pacifier.Saturday, April 19, 2014
K's Kids Barbara 7.5" Doll
Buy K's Kids Barbara 7.5" Doll Now
This is such a cute doll for a baby or toddler. It's completely plush and everything is sewn together nicely, no buttons etc. that could come of posing a choking hazard. It's very hard to find multiracial dolls for a baby, and so after hours of searching on the internet I decided on this one. In my opinion Barbara passes well as a biracial (white/black) or Hispanic doll. It is by far the cutest one I have seen. K's kid also has a boy doll with the same complexion as Barbara.I searched and searched to find a doll my daughter's skin color as she is biracial and this met my needs perfectly. Very cute doll. I got it for my daughter when she was an infant and it is still in wonderful shape.it is so hard to find African American dolls for toddlers. This one is great. My niece loves it. Best of all it's washable...good thing since she takes it everywhere, including outside. I would recommend this doll to other aunts looking for a great first doll for a little girl.Tuesday, April 15, 2014

Dora the Explorer Toddler Bed with Canopy
My daughter absolutely LOVES this bed. Her birthday was in February, and she still talks about how much she loves her pretty new bed and is so happy to have it.
I cannot complain about the bed itself at all. Assembled it stands about 4' high. I was afraid it was going to be too big for her small space, but it takes up a LOT less room than her previous bed (we found the blue version at a yard sale the frame took up a lot of space Little Tikes Princess Pink Toddler Roadster Bed. The stickers are cute, the plastic is decently sturdy, the canopy is very thin but she doesn't mess with it so it seems okay. The frame is also strong enough that I have occasionally heard her bouncing on it (28 pounds) when we aren't in there.
The directions are not complicated, they are simply not clear ENOUGH.
1) If you get the canopy version, there are 8 brackets in two packs of 4. There are 2 types the upper has a hole on both sides, the ones for the floor have an enclosure. They are not separated by type, so you will have to open both bags first rather than just open one and put all 4 on the bed. Very simple, but annoying if you didn't pay attention and have to pull the headboard off to swap them.
2) The mattress support pad only fits one way. Unfortunately, it looks like it works both ways, so line everything up before you start screwing it together to make sure you don't have to reverse the pad.
3) If you have a rubber mallet, it would be useful to have on hand for tapping some of the metal pieces up and down to get the holes to line up. Not necessary, but helpful.
It's been a month since we put it together, and these are the problems I remember as being the most annoying. I'm sorry I didn't write this sooner, but if I happen to recall any other issues I will add them to the review.
The bed is worth it, though!

The bed itself seems fine. The installation process was fairly easy, but this item was not crafted with precision so not all of the holes lined up properly. Also, as other people have noted, the frame of the canopy seems a little weak.FYI: If I could start the assembly process over, I would go to the hardware store and get the proper nuts and bolts to make this sturdier. It came with some screws and what seem like 1/4-20 Thd., 7/16 Lg., Three Prong Tee-Nuts without the teeth to hold them in place. Most of the screws stripped pretty easily and of course the last set I got to cross-threaded when I applied a little force to compensate for a misaligned screw holes. I think some longer, standard machine screws and some washers would be better since you're fastening the hollow plastic pieces to the metal frame. It's very easy for the head of the screw to drive in too deep.

This bed is really very pretty. And the bottom feels very solid and sturdy and safe. There are only two issues with it.The first is not a huge deal the side guards leave no space at all b/w themselves and the mattress. I know it should be tight but it is so incredibly tight that it is very difficult to make the bed. The comforter doesn't fit in the spaces at all. This also is uncomfortable for a toddler just getting used to using sheets. My daughter kicks them off, but if they are too tight and she can't pull them out of the sides, she gets frantic. My solution was to remove one side guard and put the bed up against the wall. This gives just enough breathing room for the sheets and comforter and my daughter.
The second problem is that I would have liked the canpoy bars to be mpre solid. My daughter does not hang off things, but if you have a child that likes to grab and play with bars, she will break it instantly and or pull it down and fall. They have to be collapsible to fit in the box, but it would be helpful if they would make the box longer, thicken the canopy supports and make it harder to pull down.
But overall, the bed is lovely.

I bought this for my 3yr old daughter and she likes the bed. The hardware is your basic set of tubes and screws for the frame, with plastic everything else. It seems sturdy enough for her. Unlike other reviewers I did not find it particularly hard to put together, but I've put together my fair share of IKEA stuff, so maybe that makes a difference.The canopy arrived torn and after calling Delta their solution was to ask me to return the item to the store, Amazon in this case. All I want is the canopy replaced but Delta can't help and Amazon wants me to ship the whole thing back. Thought everyone considering buying this should know what they're up against if they need something replaced.

Green Toys Shape Sorter Baby Toy
We got the Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks a little while ago and it is a similar concept to the Green Toys shape sorter. The problem with the Fisher Price model, at least for us, is that the lid just sits on top of the box. That means that our kids can easily pull the lid off and it even just falls off if the box is tipped. With the Green Toys sorter, the two pieces screw together and stay in place. This means that our 14-month-olds spend more time sorting shapes than just taking the lid off to fling the pieces around. This toy is also small enough that they can hold it and manipulate it better than the big fisher price box.
Off all the toys we have gotten for our kids, the Green Toys are consistently both our favorites and our kids. There may be a slight premium for them rather than the mass-produced toys from China, but they are still affordable and high quality!I love Green Toys, and couldn't wait for this shape sorter to come out. My 12-month-old daughter doesn't quite know how to put the shapes in the correct holes, but she has fun trying! There are 8 shapes, and four holes on the top of the sorter as well as 4 holes on the bottom. The top screws off in order to dump the pieces out. This toy is nothing fancy, just a simple shape sorter, but I know it is a great, fun learning toy for my daughter that will last for years!
