Toddler Little Spider Costume

Paper Magic Group Spider-1 Girl's Costume, 2TThis costume is very ugly and poorly made. Threads are sticking out everywhere.

The bow tie is not vinyl, it is cloth. It arrived very wrinkled and in terrible condition.

This was a great deal for the price. I ordered a 2T but ended up getting a 3T that is ok tho because it worked for us!

Fleurette Bidou 2GB - MP3 player for babies and kids with built-in loudspeaker

Fleurette Bidou 2GB - MP3 player for babies and kids with built-in loudspeaker"Sleeping Buddy" is the best thing ever for my 2 year old. She was having trouble going to sleep by herself. I decided to try this and we call it "Sleeping Buddy". She has no issues going to sleep on her own now. I lock the bear so she cant play with the buttons. And I go into her room a few hours after she falls asleep to turn it off for the night. The automatic shut off is only 5, 10, 20 minutes which is too short for her.

I plan to get one for my niece for Christmas she'll be 6 months so I'll get one with a sutff animal.

Leapfrog Learning Baby Tad

Leapfrog Learning Baby TadI love the daytime and nighttime options. It makes a great transition tool for trying to wean my son because while nursing at night, I would play the nighttime music until he would fall asleep. Now, I can just play the music and he can fall asleep without me having to nurse him. I know when he wakes up in the morning because I can hear him playing with Tad in his crib, and I can get him before he gets upset and starts to cry. Very happy baby and mommy!

10th Anniversary Hug & Learn Baby Tad is both education, fun and not to mention affordable. Baby tad is recommended for children six months and up, though you may find yourself playing with it. The toy is soft and cuddly, so it makes a great toy to snuggle up with. Baby tad is light weight and easy to carry. There are no sharp edges on him like some education toys.

Press the right foot that reads clap and he identifies feet. ("We have two feet"). Press his right paw and he counts. Press his right foot that says "dance" and he says dance with me and sings songs your toddler can dance along to. Press his left hand and he identifies hands. "I have two hands just like you." Press the sun on his belly and the sun lights up and he sings a sunshine song. Press his belly and he giggles and identifies his belly. Press his belly again and he sings the alphabet. Press the moon and he switches from day to night. Sooth your baby to sleep with songs like "Twinkle Twinkle little star."

When your child no longer plays with "Baby tab" he will say Bye-bye and automatically shut-off to save your battery. The toy is a great size for hugging and playing. I found Hug and Learn Baby Tad engaging and would highly recommend it to those with children eight months and up. Leap frog recommends this product for those six months and up. A baby at six months may have trouble pushing some of the buttons.

Buy Leapfrog Learning Baby Tad Now

Bought this toy for my 6 month old from target.

He's loud enough to distract any crying baby during a meltdown in the store. When you press his chest then his hand you he plays 'night-night' music starting with a woman singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and then goes to classical music. You press his hand once, 'five minutes to night-night', you press again 'ten minutes to night-night'. Which worked so great on the car rides home from dinner at grandma's house. My husband is deployed so there wasn't anyone to keep him company in the back, and with tad he was usually always fast asleep within minutes. He sings songs about toes and clapping hands as well. Changing from clapping hands between once or five times, like a surprise every time you press his hand. He laughs and dances. My son likes to bite on tads 'ear?' while he teethes. He's soft and you can't feel the battery box like some toys since this one is in the back with lots of padding.

cons: the only things I didn't like was how he can seem loud a times(no volume dial) when you just need him a little more quiet. His belly is so low that it seems like they labeled his crotch, 'belly' which i understand kids don't know any different at their age, but its still funny/strange to adults. Also, sometimes it's a little hard to press on a button because of all the padding (on hands/foot/belly/chest). Which is better I guess if I had to choose between durability/comfort (to not feel battery pack) and ease of use.

All in all, even my son is still not able to press the buttons with all the padding I still like this toy. There hasn't been an outing yet that hasn't saved me from those in-store meltdowns. I'm pretty sure its less stressful on everyone (child, parent, and strangers) have a loud toys rather than an unhappy little one.

I recommend you get this toy for anyone who's trying to keep outings as smooth as possible. It even distracted my 3 month old nephew from crying!

I had purchased several of the original Baby Tads as shower gifts over the years with rave reviews from the parents especially as part of a night-time or nap routine. When we were expecting, these had been discontinued but I was able to locate a French version. We were excited to see that there was a new English version available and quickly ordered it looking forward to the longer "minutes to night-night". Unfortunately, the music on the new tad starts with a song that has lyrics instead of just calming classical music and I don't believe the quality of the sound is the same. At this point, original Baby Tad (en francais) is used regularly and the new Tad is sitting on the sideline.

This is not nearly as nice or as educational as the old Baby Tad. The variety isn't there and there is no "off" button, and it doesn't give kisses, which my first son loved.

Forum Novelties Lil Builder Complete Costume

Forum Novelties Lil Builder Complete Costume, Toddler SizeMy toddler son is 21 months and the costume fit perfectly. He is slightly above average in size. I think this would fit when he is 2 years old, but probably not 3 years old. The outfit came with the hat, the red scarf and a tool belt and tools. It was a pretty cute outfit, easy to wash and dry.

Nessie Loch Ness Monster

Nessie Loch Ness MonsterMy son (age 2) got this for Christmas and he LOVES it! He bounces on it, and rides is around. He'll sit on it to listen to stories, and lean on it when he's playing on the floor. Nothing he's done has caused the slightest blemish. His 6 and 7 year old cousins came to play, and even they couldn't put a dent in Nessie. The double hump is great for a single child, or for two. It's lightweight, too, so I don't worry about him tipping it over on himself. A great way to lose the indoor toy blues!

Fisher-Price Giggle Gang - Pinky

Fisher-Price Giggle Gang - PinkyLiterally it's tons of giggles. It is initially triggered by a squeeze to the belly but after that, any little motion will set it off. It has to be still for a few minutes (5 or 10) for it to reset and no longer be triggered by motion. That means during a car ride (constant movement!) it will laugh and giggle the -entiretime. So I don't suggest long car rides or you'll have to open it up and turn it off manually. Yes, it does have a manual off which is great. It also allows you to remove the electronic parts entirely so it can be washed-I love that. It's a great toy, very fun to my 8 month old who laughs with it, and I would defently buy again!

My 1 yr old saw this in the store and fell in love. I purchased one for her as a Christmas gift. Over all I think it's darling and I know she will love it, however my nerves probably won't. It giggles with the slightest movement so wrapping it was a real treat. On a positive note, our children have had endless fun finding the giggling box and shaking it.

B. Hellophone - Sea/Pattern

B. Hellophone - Sea/PatternThis toy seems pretty fun, but not very durable as can be expected with most electronic toys a toddler mouths and bangs on. It sells for $7.99 at Target, though -$20 cheaper than here! Whoa!

I was looking for a cell phone for my 15 month old as he is constantly obsessed with everyone's phone and is always making calls. I wanted to find a realistic toy phone, and while this isn't necessarily realistic, it fits the bill. First off, the packaging to this toy is amazing and super cute...the box can be reversed into a gift box and it comes with a cute little booklet containing baby quotes. The phone is a little clunkier than an actual cell phone--thicker than a normal cell, and slightly wider. All of the numbers make a sound and the pound and star sign play a cute little sound. The top left button plays 2 different prerecorded sayings--"I love you so much" and "Hi there, want to go out to play?" You also have the option to record your own 5 second message which after recording is repeated back with the top right button. I don't understand the complaints...I recorded a message for my little guy and it came out crystal clear and sounded great. The little LCD screen above the buttons lights up and says hello. When the phone is flipped closed it rings and when your little one answers it will either make a dial tone or busy signal. There is also a lock tab at the bottom so that the recorded message can't be recorded over unless you slide it back. My toddler LOVES this phone and he completely forgot about my phone as soon as I gave this to him. The box states that it is phthalate free and that all B. products meed or exceed all USA safety standards. I am not sure whether they have upgraded this product, but I am a paranoid mom and feel perfectly fine letting my little guy use this. It is an awesome toy and I plan on going to Target and purchasing more for a back up and for gifts as I think every little toddler would absolutely love this product.

Buy B. Hellophone - Sea/Pattern Now

It's a fun little toy, but it lasts for as long as baby's attention span is going.

My 10 month old was interested in it initially, as a novelty the goal was to get him away from our cellphones, but that didn't pen out. The toy phone gets cast aside once the real one is spotted...

Nice feature ability to record one personal message; my baby does smile everytime I press that button

Con the two pre-recorded messages get on one's nerve very quickly (there's something about the female voice that just gives everyone around a toothache), and there's no way to record over it. Unfortunately, these recordings are triggered by one of the 2 big buttons, so we get to hear it A LOT.

BPA-free is a huge plus;

Not much of educational aspect, maybe not yet.

Bought this for my 1 year old great-grandson. He is thrilled with it, as are his parents. They leave a message for him before they go to work, and he can then hear mom or dad talking to him on his own phone. The best part is, when they are on the phone, he can grab his own phone and have someone actually talking to him. Love it!

We keep this phone in our toddlers diaper bag.. He loves playing w/it while we are out at restaurants. Loud enough for him to hear, but not too loud for being out in public.

Taggies Take - A - Long Thank Heaven for Little Girls

Taggies Take - A - Long Thank Heaven for Little GirlsI did not get one with little feet on them

It came with something else on it

My little one is getting into her taggie toys. I recommend the brand as a whole. She's got at least 3 of their items. I like this one because it is simple. Sometimes she doesn't quite know what to do with toys that are big or overly detailed. But this fits little hands well. I've hooked it to her play gym and she enjoys rolling to her side to look at it too. I see there are some with 'cuter' patterns or colors; but overall I really do like this toy.

Skip Hop Octopus Ring Toss Fountain Bath Toy

Skip Hop Octopus Ring Toss Fountain Bath ToyWe really really want to love this. It's so cute, and it would be so much fun.

But the darn thing just will NOT stick to the surface not of a tub, and definitely not of a tile that has grooves (as is shown in the picture).

Bummed out.

Love the idea of this toy, but it doesn't stay up. I was careful to make sure both surfaces were clean and free of obstruction, but it just slides down the tile and side of tub. If you had a smooth surface above your tub so that it could suction there and rest the weight of the toy on the edge of the tub, then it would probably stay up.

Tried this the first day and while my child loved the toy, it won't stick on the tub wall and I have to return it. Bummer.

This is a fun toy and is made of a great silicone type material. My 13 month old loves to pull off the rings and teethe them, and plays with them a lot in the bath. He also loves the fountain, although I wish it held more water so that the fountain effect lasted longer. It does fall off of the wall sometimes, especially after cleaning the tiles. You really need to make sure the surface is dry and free of any cleaning product film before trying to put it on the wall.

Haba Fabric Book, A Day with Lotta

Haba Fabric Book, A Day with LottaI usually love the Haba toys but this book is not worth the money I paid. The book is very small and flimsy. There are much better fabric books out there for baby at comparable prices. My 6 month old is not interested at all. She loves the Roger Priddy (think I spelled the last name correctly) books where there is so much to touch, fee, pull, etc.

Earthentree Organic Kiddo Color Stacker Toy

Earthentree Organic Kiddo Color Stacker ToyI bought this toy for a one year old's birthday expecting it to be much bigger it's very short and the rings are itty-bitty. It's not even close to the size of a typical ring stacker it almost seems more like a mini decorative toy than a real one. I doubt it would be too entertaining to a toddler due to it's size (plus it would be almost impossible for them to actually use). It's a shame because it is beautifully done but it's just too small. I returned it and Amazon was great about the refund.

This toy is beautiful, but disappointingly small -I'd be afraid to give the smallest three parts to a child under two or three.

It is a cute toy. I expected it to be bigger though. Also it came in a very unsightly box. But the quality is good.

This is a beautifully crafted toy, and I would really love it, if not for the incredibly small size. I bought this for my 9 month old son thinking he would learn with it, but unfortunately he can't use it, since the smallest rings are a choking hazard, and so is the top piece. I am so disappointed, I really wanted to love this toy, but for the price I expected something larger. I suppose it's my fault for not realizing that the pieces had to be small to fit the dimensions. Now we're out a toy, and it's 3 days before Christmas, so I guess he'll just be short one toy, since this will have to go back. It's an excellent idea, but bad execution.

Want Earthentree Organic Kiddo Color Stacker Toy Discount?

When I recieved this it was smaller then I expected and like some of the other reviewers I found it more decorative. I was also concerned about the small pieces. I put up the smallest two pieces and my son kind of examined them here and there. However, now that he is almost a year he loves it and will sit and put all the rings on the stick over and over again. I've found the small size is actually the perfect size for him to pick up and he is very happy with it. I think it is a good size for small hands and as long as properly supervised is fine. I have not had any trouble with paint chipping. It is very well made.

See 'N Say Juniors PoohMy title says it all... nothing special but a great stroller attachment. It doesn't actually spin... you just press the button and hear the music. That is all... Too bad my son just wants to bite it or throw it out of anger. That is where the clip comes handy LOL.

Kolcraft Tiny Steps 2 in 1 Walker, Circles

Kolcraft Tiny Steps 2 in 1 Walker, CirclesI bought this for my 8 month old despite reading less than positive reviews on several websites. It works great, was easy to put together, and baby loves it. It works great on hard surfaces, but also baby has no problem navigating it on our area rugs. I haven't tried it on carpet, but from other reviews I read, no walker is that great on carpet. The front wheels pivot while the back wheels are staionary, which means baby ends up periodically stuck in a corner unable to get out. She loves the toy that is removable on the traythe noises are pretty comical too (train whistles, old car honks, etc.). I haven't been able to get her out of this thing since it arrived yesterdayshe protests loudly and wants back in. The toy is also very easy to remove which faciliated a quick feeding this morning without dragging her high chair out. Love it!

I was going to return this item and even wrote a bad review for the product. We realized that we were putting in the screws for the back wheel incorrectly (which would cause the back wheels to pop out). If you flip the screws the other way, then this will make the wheels stay in. This product is very good and this review negates my previous review.

I generally don't write reviews, however, this time has decided to write one to warn people this walker is not safe. While being inside, my son who is 9 months old, had leaned on one side and the walker flipped over. He ended up with huge bruise on his forehead and had bitten his lip to the blood... Do NOT buy this walker if you care about your child's well being...

Read Best Reviews of Kolcraft Tiny Steps 2 in 1 Walker, Circles Here

My daughter is on the smaller side (short and average weight) and we received this walker as a gift.

First off, I was disappointed by the quality of the product. I found the frame to be wobbly and unstable. Not to mention that the frame itself is made of cheaper, less durable plastic, the seat is in poor taste. It has no actual support. The top part is made of foam, which I doubt offers any sort of back support for an older, larger child. The bottom part is simply fabric. No lining. No cushion. A child in a walker has to sit down at some point and I don't see this seat being comfortable at all.

If you're interested in this Kolcraft product for a boy, I especially recommend skipping it based on the seat alone. His 'package' will be uncomfortably squished.

Lastly, the walker is difficult to move on Berber and other carpeted floors. My daughter moves around well in the kitchen but can't take steps in our family room. She dislikes being stuck in one place and immediately starts to cry!

As for the entertainment...? Please. Don't even get me started.

Want Kolcraft Tiny Steps 2 in 1 Walker, Circles Discount?

I ordered this product from Amazon and received it a week later. When I got home from work, the product is already setup and my baby is already playing with the built in toys. The only thing that is left for me to put in are the wheels. I usually do all the assembly stuff as my wife does not like dealing with reading manuals and figuring things out but she put this up quickly while holding the baby in her arms. It is lightweight but feels sturdy. I like the fact that the seat is designed so that the baby can actually stand up and walk if he wanted to unlike most walkers now where the seat is designed to have the baby sit and not stand (the hole is at the bottom and not angled to the front as most walkers are designed).

The back wheels does not swivel so the baby can only go straight or move to left or right while moving forward but not go sideways. Not sure if this is a plus or a minus because my baby is only 5 1/2 months old and is so far content on just playing with the toys. The bottom have some friction strips for safety purposes that will prevent the walker from moving on some floor types. If you have a high carpet, you can easily remove the strips but I don't think that the company will encourage removing it for safety purpose.

As far as other reviews claiming that wheels just pop out, I don't see it happening if installed correctly as the back wheels pin are blocked to prevent it from sliding out and the front wheels are hard to pull out once locked into place. I can see some people may not be installing the wheels correctly and not locking the front wheels properly as I had some trouble pushing it in all the way completely till it locked into place. Also, the back wheels pin will only go one way and that is the head should be positioned on the inside facing the little plastic part that blocks the head once installed. To insert the pin, you will have to bend the plastic a little to let the pin slide in but not out. If it is not done properly, the wheels can fall off as the pin will slide out of the holes.

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Crib-To-Floor Mobile

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Crib-To-Floor MobileI bought this mobile to have one in my child's pack-and-play while I took her to work with me the first three months of her life. I love it! Baby does too! It has three little paper-thin fabric fish with black stripes (young babies love simple black lines) and three stuffed animals a blue whale, a green sea horse, and a purple sextopus well, the octopus has six legs, instead of eight but since baby can't count I don't mind. Worth mentioning there is a huge white tag sticking off the octopus. Nothing a pair of manicure scissors can't remove if you want it gone. The toys detach and though I haven't done that yet you COULD do this later to let baby chew on them as he/she gets older if you desired.

You have the option to play lullaby music and it cycles through Brahm's lullaby and Clair de Lune and another classical piece or more "fun" music like, Sailing, Sailing or Row, Row, Row Your Boat. One thing to note though the "long" play feature plays the lullabies only and lasts about 10 minutes. The "short" play feature plays the fun songs only one. at. a. time. I think this design element is for older babies that can play with the base unit (spin the spinner and push the buttons). You literally push a button and get about 10 seconds of music for "short" play. However, I do think this feature will be more fun for my daughter once she is older.

The two volumes on this mobile are medium and soft which I like. Of course, I always leave it on soft. You can also turn off the rotating movement of the mobile if you want to in order to save batteries though my baby is now 12 weeks and we have used the unit daily for 8 weeks and are still on our original batteries. This turn-off feature will also come in handy for when baby is older and can sit-up to play with the buttons on the base of the unit you can detach the mobile all together and then turn off the "motor" in the base, so it is not wasting battery power spinning nothing when the mobile is not attached.

I do not know why it took baby toy makers soooo long to come up with a floor-based mobile genious idea! As I said, this is great for the pack and play, tummy time, or toss it in the car to take to Grandma's one weekend.

I do have a separate, more permanent mobile attached to my baby's crib in the home, but I LOVE this one because I can spread a blanket on the floor in the den and entertain baby with this mobile. I would not buy this as my primary mobile but it makes a great secondary mobile. If you want a more permanent mobile I recommend the ones that attach to a crib from Tiny Love they play for 20 minutes, have multiple moving parts, and have mesmerized all three of my daughters for hours during infancy! You could however, make this your baby's primary mobile if you wanted to, but I think there are better ones out there. But as a portable one or secondary one THIS is the one to get!

The ONLY con I can come up with this particular mobile is that I wish it played longer than the approximately 10 minutes. Though, pushing a button once every 10 minutes to re-start it isn't TOO big of a hassle.

This is another high quality, durable, highly recommended baby toy from Fisher-Price that will grow with your baby and last several months. At 3 months old, I feel I've already gotten my money's worth and I know we will continue to enjoy it. Don't hesitate to buy.

I'll be back to update this review once my daughter can sit up and play with the base on her own.

I bought this item for my 2 month old grandson and here loves it!!! I lay him on the floor on a blanket with the mobile above his head and he loves it! He's a little older now and he reaches for the animals and "talks" to them. Best purchase ever!!!!!

Little Tikes Bumble Bee Buggy

Little Tikes Bumble Bee BuggyThis is the nicest little buggy! I had never seen this in any store but saw it on-line for about $10 more through a big-name toy store. I found it on Amazon and bought the buggy for my 1 year old niece's birthday. She really loved it and wanted to get in it right away. She doesn't understand how to scoot around in it yet, but I'm certain that will come soon. My 2 and 4 yr. old nephews both tried it out and they really enjoyed it too, so this is a good toy for any child in the 1-4 yr. age range. All of the kids were very attracted to the face, especially the antennas, which bobble around.

Aside from how well the kids liked it, I was very pleased that it is extremely well made. In fact, given how nice it is, you would think you would have to pay a lot more money for it than I did (plus I got the bonus of free Amazon shipping!). There's plenty of leg clearance, even for the older kids. The wheels spin completely around, which is a really nice feature because the buggy doesn't get stuck as easily as other similar toys. The toy does need to be assembled but it is very easy to do and the instructions are very clear; I had it put together within a half hour. Really pleased with my purchase.

I am not a fan of this product at all. I wish I had mailed it back. The steering wheel is not connected to anything. It's tough for toddlers to get in and out on their own because there is no door entrance like other riders. The wheels do their own thing. It is incredibly frusterating even for my preschooler because she can't make it go the direction she wants to go, even on the sidewalk. I don't recommend this product.

Buy Little Tikes Bumble Bee Buggy Now

PROS:

-really cute & different from other "buggy" toys on the market

-seems really sturdy & durable have only had it 2 weeks

-my kids (5 toddlers in a home daycare) LOVE it sitting in it, pushing it, playing with the antennae

CONS:

-topples over pretty easily, usually when trying to get in or leaning over the side while sitting in it doesn't seem to deter them from wanting to play with it, but it's frustrating!

-kind of a pain to put together, but honestly, didn't take too long (20 min?)

-kind of difficult to manuever -only the 2 yr old has figured it out the 15, 17, & 20 month old can't get it to move! (well, not forward anyway!)

It was definitely worth the $ I paid for it, but not sure that I'd pay ...

Want Little Tikes Bumble Bee Buggy Discount?

I bought this product for a couple of kids that I was babysitting. They loved all the facial and body features of the bumblebee, as well as the fact that the wheels turn in 360 degrees.
