Bunnies by the Bay Lulla Bunny Bye Binkie Blanket

Bunnies by the Bay Lulla Bunny Bye Binkie Blanket, PinkPlease be aware that this website company "Black Sheep Deals" is charging unbeleivable prices on some of our Bunnies By The Bay items. This Skipit Lulla puppy bye binkie is really $19.95, NOT $83.

My daughter is 2 now and received this blanket when she was 2 months old. She will not go anywhere without it now. We recently lost hers and had to purchase two so we always have a spare. A must for all little girls!!

My daughter was given this blankie by her aunt when she was about 7 months old. She's now 17 months old and I've since had to buy 2 more to keep in rotation as she won't go anywhere without it! We love this blankie at out house!

Want Bunnies by the Bay Lulla Bunny Bye Binkie Blanket Discount?

Great soft material for little children.

As a baby the size is perfect as blanket & when kid grows up it's easy to carry out everywhere. And as it's quite big, you note it if you loose it on the way.

BUT, although the quality of the material is OK, the seam is very poor. There is too little material on the edges to be sewed properly & within few days the seam just breaks.

So be prepared to spend a few hours fixing the blanket wihtin less than 2 wweks after yur bought it.

I leave in France & this blanket can't be found on Amazon european website, otherwise I would have retunr the 2 items I bought for exchange.

Raw Beans Shape Baltic Amber Teething Necklace

Raw Beans Shape Baltic Amber Teething NecklaceI have trusted, knowledgable people who highly recommend baltic amber for teething babies. I shopped for many days before deciding on this product. I loved the mixed colors. The necklace arrived on time and in good condition.

However, I was very disappointed in the size of the beads. Looking at the picture I was expecting the beads to be much larger. The necklace I received is obviously not the necklace in the picture. The last bead on the bottom is the clasp and it shows the beads to be that size and larger. Not true in my product. The beads of my necklace are half the size, at best, of the clasp.

That said I will keep the necklace, because I have no idea how to return it to another country. At the end of the day I expect it will still have good results regardless of the size of the beads. Unfortunately I will not order from this site again..

Loved the necklace. Searched online for amber teething necklaces and prices were too high. Found this seller and price was not too high. Great product and quality for the price. Arrived ahead of estimated delivery. Would buy from this seller again.

12" Dragon Make Your Own *NO SEW* Stuffed Animal Kit

12' Dragon Make Your Own *NO SEW* Stuffed Animal KitI purchased the cute red dragons and fantasy unicorns for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. I'm very happy with the prompt shipping and quality of the items. I only wish the dragons came in the 15" size; but I'm sure they'll be perfect for our little guests! Can't wait to send a pic of the kids stuffing their dragons and unicorns!

Plush Stuffed Bunny Rabbits & & Chick -Set of Three 5" Washable Toys for Infants & Young Children

Plush Stuffed Bunny Rabbits & & Chick -Set of Three 5' Washable Toys for Infants & Young ChildrenWe really love these toys. They were ordered for my 8 month baby. The size is perfect for her. I am very happy they are machine washable which is hard to find. They are cute and engaging. I like the way they can sit upright instead of falling flat. I have also attached a ring, where the tag is so I can use it in the car seat of stroller. The quality is high and detailed. At $14+ I felt the cost was reasonable and lower overall than similar products. I am very happy with this purchase.

set of three was a perfect Easter buy for the three kids. Everyone had their own color. At only a few inches tall (3-5", depending on ear position?), they easily fit in the baskets. cute, soft, seems to be good quality. Has held up well for 5 months. They were carried around a lot for the first few days... now largely forgotten. But still cute.

Natursutten Natural Rubber Teether Toy Star, Amber

Natursutten Natural Rubber Teether Toy Star, AmberI really like this teething toy. We are trying to avoid teething toys made in China and this is one of only a few we could find on Amazon that fits our requirements (it is made in Italy). It is all natural rubber (based on what the company says since we really have no way of verifying) with no paint. To me it has just the right combination of softness and firmness. Or boy seems to favor it too. The toy is two identical pieces melted together. If there were to be an issue it would the the two pieces separating but right now everything is great.

All natural rubber, great shape so it is easy for my 5 month old daughter to get it in her mouth and hold it. This is a great teether!!!

My 8-month-old daughter loves the Hevea rubber bath toys and panda teether, so I thought she would love this one as well. Unfortunately she doesn't show much interest in it. She will chew on it every once in a while, but moves along pretty quickly. It's a well-made toy from a great company but disappointed I paid $15 for a toy she never uses.

My First Bubble Blower ( colors may vary)

My First Bubble BlowerThis bubble blower just plain doesn't work. Even when you hold down the handle, the bubbles don't come. When finally after three or four tries, the bubbles do come out, only 4 or 5 bubbles come out. You do better with a simple wand.

I went through lots of bubble fluid filling it up and trying it different ways, tilting it, etc. and have given up.

I am so disappointed in this toy! It does not have much space to fill the solution when you pull down the handle maybe 4-5 bubbles at a time come outnot alotmakes alot of noise like bubbles are coming out but it usually takes a couple of pull backs to get the bubbles out!!!

Buy My First Bubble Blower ( colors may vary) Now

We ordered this as a gift for my one year old son after seeing it recommended in a parent's magazine. Big disappointment! As others have stated, the bubbles do NOT come out unless the handle is pulled all the way down and then held there for a second, and my son was terribly frustrated by that. Also, once the poor child is lucky enough to actually release some bubbles, only a handful come out (often less). In addition, we went through the bubble bottle in two days just through attempting to make it work, and later saw that it had leaked all over the bottom of the toy. This caused nothing but disappointment for both of us! He got much more fun out of a simple bubble wand that I used to blow bubbles for him which cost just 39 cents.

Read Best Reviews of My First Bubble Blower ( colors may vary) Here

I wouldn't even give this one star! Received as a gift for my 2 year old. A complete disappointment. (...) the kids are more interested in what makes it tick rather than having the patience to hold the bar down and wait for the bubbles, which only works once out of every five tries. It's really a useless toy for any age.

Want My First Bubble Blower ( colors may vary) Discount?

The concept of this toy is good but its performance was very disappointing. I bought this toy for a toddler preschool class and not one child could master it. Even when I used it bubbles only came out about every third or fourth push of the handle. The handle must be held down a few seconds to make bubbles come out and the kids let go too soon. Also, the children wanted to look down the hole and watch the bubbles come out and then the bubbles get in their face and eyes. I sent this toy back.

Edushape Mini Edu Soft and Flexible Blocks, Set of 52

Edushape Mini Edu Soft and Flexible Blocks, Set of 52We love these blocks, unfortunately we have had serious drama with the company we purchased them from but that is another story! The blocks are perfect for toddlers they are soft enough to stack, put together and take apart unassisted. We have had a lot of fun with these! You honestly need more than on set of 26 because you can't build a lot with that. None the less I would def. recommend them.

these are the best. its good to also purchase the train and/or zoo versions as the animals and wheeled parts are a nice addition

Little People Grandparent Figures

Little People Grandparent FiguresI saw this toy at Walmart for $5. Same as all other little people.

Our grandson has many Little People Products from Fisher Price. When I saw these I knew he had to have them to be in tough when we are not there. When our daughter tells him that we are going to call or Skype with us he runs to get these toys.

You can never go wrong with Fisher Price Little People toys... and the Grandparents are adorable as well as durable. Although I do think their Grandma looks MUCH older than I do!!

I purchased the Grandparents "Little People" collection for my 16 month old son. Since he currently owns the Little People Airplane set, I thought it would be best to "fill in the empty seats of the airplane" with Grandma and Grandpa(and some extra luggage too). Also, since Grandpa and Grandma don't live nearby, I can teach him about how his grandparents travel to visit him throughout the year(by plane). The figures and luggage pieces are detailed and very durable.

We purchase these "grandparents" for our grandson who just turned 3 and is an avid lover of all things "Little People". With his imagination running wild we noticed that he chose two Little People characters and renamed them Grammy and Poppy for us. With this purchase he now has his very own Grammy and Poppy Little People instead of using Michael and Maggie for that purpose. We do go to visit him with the accompanying suitcase in tow so this purchase was so special.

Tiny Love Tiny Smarts Rattle Toy

Tiny Love Tiny Smarts Rattle Toy, JumpyI bought this for my daughter when she was an infant and she got far more use out of it than I ever anticipated. Not only was it a great rattle for when she was new and learning to grasp things, but it was a good teether, too (the orange petal part is soft plastic, while the pink petals are crinkly fabric). This was one of her favorite toys when she was an infant, and often other babies would gravitate towards it/play with it when they visited our house. When my daughter got older, it made a great musical instrument. She's nearly 2 now and will still play with it when she comes across it in her toy box. This flower is very colorful and attractive, and durable, too: after years of being shaken, dropped and chewed on, it still looks just as good as it did when I bought it. I liked this product so much I've even given it as a gift to several of my friends for their babies. I certainly recommend this product.

Seems like a hit, better-than-average baby toy. Makes noise, bounces, easy to put in my son's mouth, adds up to a hit for my 7 month old.

Buy Tiny Love Tiny Smarts Rattle Toy Now

Very simple. The three legs are mildly springy. What our 7 month old has seen in this since he was 4 moths old is just a joyful set of attached balls that stand up and bounce a little. This was his fav, although now he is outgrowing it. But then tonight he thought it was great fun. Totally worth it.

Read Best Reviews of Tiny Love Tiny Smarts Rattle Toy Here

The rattle itself is exactly what I expected to receive. What I didn't expect is for the rubber edges around the flower, presumably where a teething baby would be chewing, to be dirty. It didn't come wrapped in any kind of bag or packaging, it was simply attached to the product cardboard with a twist tie. The fact it wasn't completely clean is not too big a deal to me because I actually bought it as a toy for my parrot and it did wipe clean almost completely; however, if I was giving this to a baby I would not be happy.

Want Tiny Love Tiny Smarts Rattle Toy Discount?

It was my daughter's first Valentine's Day this year, so I wanted to get her something to celebrate. I thought of getting a single rose, but she won't have any use for it. So I searched for "toy flower" and "baby flower" on Amazon, and had to pass up listings of clothing before I found this.

Perfect.

It wasn't red and it had that large bulb at the bottom for the rattle, but it was close enough. So I ordered it. My daughter loves it. She's about 6 months right now, so she constantly puts the flower rattle in her mouth. It's great, though, because the petal part is flat and small enough that it fits in her little mouth, and the texture allows her to bite down toothlessly on it hard without bother. It's actually got two layers of petal: one where it's fabric and the paper material inside makes a crinkling sound for her stimulation, and then the firmer portion that's more like a teether.

The stem is wide, but not too wide to prevent her from grabbing it with one hand.

She likes the sound of the rattle, though I found it kind of annoying. It's a little more high pitched than other rattles we have, but I'll tolerate it if she likes it, which it seems she does. She almost always grabs it when I put it near her.

Little Drummer

Little DrummerI purchased this toy for my granddaughter's first birthday. She has other toys made by this manufacturer and they have been fabulous. However, this drum broke only one week after her birthday. The surface of the drum split apart completely. It wasn't abused in anyway, just played with normally. I will be returning it and purchasing something else.

The box arrived on time with all the comtents. My husband open it and and hit it maybe five time then froze and looked at me because the drum head just broke.. To make me feel better he said our son would have broke this faster than me.

I can understand if this product was to be seen and not touched but it is made to hit. So dont buy this if you plan on using it, but it will make a nice decorative conversation piece.

Buy Little Drummer Now

I purchased this item for my son's first Christmas (he had just turned 1 yo). I feel the item is constructionally sound nothing has cracked, fallen off, split, et cetera after being handled roughly by my one year old (who drops items or tests their sounds when drumming it against other items). It is a perfect size to be carried, makes a nice drumming sound (vs some of the plastic versions out there).

I purchased this toy for my toddler son for Christmas. Literally, within 10 minutes of it being opened, the top of the drum had been ripped through. He is not a rough child and was not using excessive force with the toy. The drum was also smaller than I expected.

On a positive note, it was a beautiful toy. Loved the colors!

ALSO, I contacted customer service and they IMMEDIATELY offered a different (replacement) toy! What a GREAT company!

Jellystone Chewable Organic Pendant Nursing Necklace

Jellystone Chewable Organic Pendant Nursing Necklace in EggplantThis necklace is one of the best things I've ever purchased! Ive missed being able to wear jewelry since having my baby girl and this is cute enough I'd wear it with or without her. She absolutely loves it!! She is teething now and chews/sucks on this thing nonstop. It's a great design, she is able to grasp it with her tiny hands and hold it to chew on by herself. Also the clasp in the back is very sting, but WILL come apart if she pulls too hard. This is what it is meant to do and that's a great feature so I don't worry about it breaking, I can just snap it right back in place. At first I wasnt happy about how long the cord is, but after a few days of use I realized it's perfect when she's in my arms and holding the teether. This is a must have for moms!!

This pendant is much bigger than I anticipated so I don't like to 'wear' it around as a necklace. It is not textured, its smooth, but that's visible from the picture. My baby doesn't seem to like it much (he's 5m). When he does play with it, he likes to hook his thumb through the hole and chew. In my opinion, it wasn't worth the money any other baby toy is better to chew on than this.

Buy Jellystone Chewable Organic Pendant Nursing Necklace Now

I bought this because my toddler started biting her nails and sucking her fingers, hair, shirt sleeves, blankets, and toys. I tried painting her nails with the yucky tasting polish, but she didn't seem to mind the taste at all and just kept biting her nails and sucking on her fingers. This pendant is perfect for her. I shortened the strings (just open the clasp, slide each clasp down the string, tie a new knot on each side, and cut off excess string) so that it would be the correct length around her neck. We've only had it for two days, but it has been great! I've had to remind her about her necklace a few times, but for the most part she remembers to suck and chew on her necklace rather than everything else. Lint doesn't stick to it and it withstands constant chewing from my 3 year old's teeth. It has safety clasps too that will come apart if there is too much pressure. So if it snags on anything, I know my daughter is safe because the necklace will just come off. This was so worth the money. I just ordered another one so I can wear it for my 6 month old. He loves to pull on my jewelry, so this will be great when he is nursing or when we are out and about. He can play with it to keep himself entertained. Hopefully it will prevent him from sucking on my shirt and pulling my hair too!

Camden Rose Hardwood Stackers - SquareNatural wood seems to be a better teething toy than plastic. The stacking pieces can be used as teething toys along with the play value of the entire toy.

Kathe Kruse Rainbow Baby Doll, Violet

Kathe Kruse Rainbow Baby Doll, VioletI love this doll! I discovered these little teething dolls a couple of years ago, when looking for a special present a good friend's new baby. The doll was a real hit with everyone at the baby shower, and I heard later that the baby really loved it, so I keep giving this doll, or other dolls made by the same company (Kathe Kruse). I love how soft the material is, and I think it's great that the teething ring can be separated from the doll (the doll's hands velcro together). I've also given the towel dolls made by this company, which are somewhat bigger. Our favorite babysitters from way back when are now all grown up and having babies of their own, and these dolls are the ones I will give each of them. So sweet!

I've ordered three of the Kathe Kruse dolls and my kids love them now I get them as gifts. Great made in Germany toys.

Wonderworld Rapping Kangaroo Sound Producing Push Toy

Wonderworld Rapping Kangaroo Sound Producing Push ToyMy son got this for his first birthday and after 2 months he is still playing with it. It did take him awhile to figure out how to push it forward, he initially just banged it into the ground, but now he pushes it, drags it, etc and the toy is withstanding the abuse of my crazy 14 month old. I am so happy with this purchase!

My son turned 1 just before Christmas and received this as a gift. It has been less than 2 weeks and we have had to glue the little handle onto the stick as wouldn't stay put and it could be a choking hazard. Also the design allows for the kangaroo's head to come off so be prepared to find it and put it back on daily. It is cute though and easier on the ears than the corn popper toy. I would have returned it but my little guy really likes it so it stays.

This is my first review... Just thought folks should be aware of the handle issue.

Hevea Natural Rubber Pond Bath Toys

Hevea Natural Rubber Pond Bath ToysThese toys are made of raw rubber, so that's what they look like raw rubber dark yellow colour toys with imperfections and some impurities, like a few tiny black specs. They have a mild rubbery scent, but it's not unpleasant. The toys are light,stretchy, soft and flexible, my 8 month old can easily squeeze and bend them. They are also great for teething. The size is perfect to fit little hands. There are no holes, so water cannot get in and mold won't grow inside. These toys are BPA, Phtalate and PVC free, are sustainably produced and are hand crafted in Europe (my package says "Made in Spain"). The packaging is produced from FSC certified forest, printed with canola oil,and even the window is based on cellulose. The design of the toys is very cute, and my baby loves them. They are not as pretty and flashy as some other toys, but they don't contain any paint, so this is to be expected. At least my baby has something safe to chew on in the tub. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase, and I wish the manufacturer made more products, like balls, blocks, etc.

I love the Hevea brand. They have wonderful, safe pacifiers and these bath toys are no different. My 5 month old loves playing with these and biting them and I feel good knowing they are safe enough for her to put in her mouth. They are one piece of natural rubber so they won't mold from bath water over time. A little on the expensive side, but worth it and the designs are so whimsical! Great product!

I love these little creatures and my baby likes them as well as her more colorful bath toys (that I have taken away at least until she stops sucking on everything). For those (like myself) who don't know much about natural rubber, these toys do float and stay upright as well if not better than some other bath toys I have had. I wish the company made more products.

Natural rubber is expensive, but for the peace of mind of not worrying about what my baby is ingesting, it is so worth it. I can concentrate on giving her a bath and not be concerned with what she's putting in her mouth. Highly recommend to anyone who craves this peace of mind.

Chicco Musical Walking Turtles

Chicco Musical Walking TurtlesI was looking for a crawling plush toy, but just can't seem to find one. This one is cute, though. You push a spot on his back and he actually vibrates, rather than crawls, which is what moves him across the floor. It has to be a hard floor and not carpet, and he moves for the duration of a very short song.

Comes with its own batteries a plus!

Although the turtles are adorable, they really don't walk. The toy vibrates, so if it is on a hard surface it sort of just shimmies along a few inches. Also, this one doesn't go in a straight line but bears left, so you can't even follow it anywhere. It doesn't move at all if it is on carpet. It holds my son's attention for about 10 seconds. Overall, it's not as much fun as I'd hoped it would be.

Buy Chicco Musical Walking Turtles Now

Like previous reviews, it does work best on a hard surface floor. It's soft and nice for a newly mobile baby because it doesn't move very fast.

The music, however, is horrid. It's very loud and sounds like the tone of a fire alarm. You can't make the turtle move without the music playing. I couldn't stand it so I opened up the electronic compartment and snipped the wires to the speaker. Problem solved.

I wanted this toy to help my child begin to move on the floor but by the time I purchased it he had learned to crawl. I really like this toy because it's durable and has the pack inside that plays music and makes it shake. Because the pack is removable I can launder this toy and I am VERY happy about that. The baby turtle has a squeaker in it. My son loves this toy. He is now 9 months but still loves to press the button and feel it shake and play music. I have to admit finding this toy at Goodwill for less than $5 and do not feel it's worth more than $10 retail. Which is why I didn't buy it early on. We made our son's room in turtle and ocean theme and felt this was a good addition :)

Neurosmith Sunshine Symphony

Neurosmith Sunshine SymphonyI'm a pediatrician and have chosen this as my preferred baby gift for family and friends. The kids love it for a long time. Initially they just look at it and a caretaker can activate it to play music. As the baby develops, they learn to turn it on themselves. The quality of the music is terrific. This is not a tinny music box! I was disappointed when it seemed to disappear from the stores. So I was thrilled to find it on Amazon.

This was a gift from a friend and our 8 week old would watch it while we were in the car. He has grown up with it and at 18 months it is still one of his favorite toys. The music is pleasant so it doesn't drive you nuts the way other electronic toys can and our toddler has learned to touch it to keep the music going. He has even increased his fine motor skills by turning the switches on and off in the back. We just bought three more to give out as gifts to our friends that are having babies. This was a great toy.

We purchased this for our son when he was 6 mos. He wasn't into it. He preferred basic plush toys and less "active" toys. Now he's 9 1/2 mos and is absolutley fascinated by this thing.

He's truly mesmerized by the smiling face and listens intently (often while bouncing in time with the tunes) to the crystal clear musical expressions that emanate from within..

The volume control is a big bonus.

Our daughter loved this even at a few weeks old. Now at 4+ mos., the novelty of it hasn't worn off a bit. Still on original batteries, too. I now hang it onto stroller or swing from linkadoo rings so it hangs out infront of her face while I'm cooking or working on other chores and it keeps her smiling and content. I've even held her on my lap with it hanging on exercise bike's handlebars so I can get some exercise and she loves it!
