Skwinkle

SkwinkleMy 4month old son loves this toy. It is one of his favorites. He likes to put his arm through one of the loops so it does not fall out of his swing. He gnaws on the red loops all day. Great toy and hours of entertainment.

Jumbo Lacing Shapes Classic Made in USA Wood Toy

Jumbo Lacing Shapes Classic Made in USA Wood ToyI ordered these lacing shapes for my 2 year old grandaughter. On appearance, they were great; however, once one attempted to "string" the lace through the blocks, it was apparent that the insides of the shapes were rough, and the lacing caught on the rough edges. We used a file to smooth the interior sides of the blocks, bur we were cautious because we did not want to break the paint finish. I ended up purchasing leather boot laces that would not catch on the imperfections.

The item was exactly as I expected and hoped it would be. It was perfect for my 19 month old grandson.

I got this for my 2-yr-old son because his speech therapist had one to help him learn fine motor skills. With a little help at first, he figured out how to get all the beads on the string (rope) and he does it with GUSTO! Very good toy to help with fine motor skills.

I purchased these stringing beads for my mother who is in a memory care unit. I found them to be and excellent product. Very well made and finished. The strings were a bit too thick for older people so i bought some neon athletic laces for the resident to string the beads on. They really love to string beads!!! I just wish you made a large tub of these beads so i could purchase more at on time.

Zoobie Pets Tamu the Tortoise Plush

Zoobie Pets Tamu the Tortoise PlushFound these toys by accident looking for a better option than the 'PILLOW PET'. We have way too many stuffed animals to begin with. These are just the ticket! Cute, soft, fully function and fun! We travel alot and they are perfect buddies to take in the car plus they get a blankie and it saves space! I also bought afew for gifts at Christmas. WAY better option than the pillow pet you see all over TV!

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.

Earlyears Pop N' Play Giraffe

Earlyears Pop N' Play GiraffeThis is a cute toy, and our kids like it. But it takes button photo batteries that don't last long and are EXPENSIVE! It'll cost you almost as much as the toy is worth to replace the batteries just once.

I bought this for my niece for X-mas. She loves the toy, however, it was filthy. It needed to be washed before she could play with it. Something that shouldn't happen when something is bought new.

I bought this for my son, not from TRU but from a shop on Main street. My son never really was interested it b/c it was so low in sound that it wouldn't keep his attention. I'm not sure if it was the product or the place i purchased it, but I do think it should have been at least a little louder!

Munchkin Pelican Rinser

Munchkin Pelican RinserI bought this because it's so much cuter than a rinse cup & my daughter seemed to like it...BUT...I had to spend too much time cleaning it weekly. Not sure if others have noticed but it does get moldy in the cracks & is extremely difficult to clean because of the shape. I threw it away & started using a plastic cup & guess what??? my daughter plays with that as well!!

Too expensive & difficult to clean so not worth the money.

The lip extends so far over the opening that I cannot see the water poring out. It causes me to not be able to accurately pour the water and avoid getting it in my child's eyes, which is the whole point.

This product was just as it was described. It is the perfect for rinsing suds out of hair.

Read Best Reviews of Munchkin Pelican Rinser Here

We had SO many toddler toys after babysitting our first grandson for our second to play with, we thought adding to the collection of bath toys would be a good idea for #2's first birthday. We're lucky that both of our "munchkins" thoroughly enjoy bathtime, and not only is this darling pelican great for rinsing, it's also perfect for storing some of his little bath squirters! Sometimes it's a little scary when a baby graduates in our case, from the confined space of the kitchen sink! -to an adult bathtub, which must feel like an ocean to them! Colorful, fun bath toys are a good way to ease the transition. I sometimes bathe both boys together when I'm short on time, and even Big Brother enjoys the new assortment of toys. Happy grandkids = happy grandma! Great purchase.

Want Munchkin Pelican Rinser Discount?

So truthfully a large plastic cup is just fine for rinsing soap out of hair, but what are baby showers for if not to get ridiculously adorable items you wouldn't otherwise justify spending money on? We got this as a shower gift and I love it.

Pros:

Hole on top makes it easy to fill.

Holds a decent enough amount of water to rinse baby's hair but not so much that it's heavy.

Sturdy plastic means it doesn't bow with pressure (like a plastic drinking cup might).

Cute, I could see this transitioning into a toy when my daughter is older.

Cons:

Not easy to clean out. Pelican's mouth isn't wide enough to get your hand in super easily and it's shape means there are some little cracks that you can't reach. I haven't had the build up others have mentioned, but I'd suggest maybe turning it upside down to drain after use and a bottle brush?

Born Free Soft Silicone Teether with Teething Gel Applicator 4+ Months BPA Free (Blue)

BornFree - Soft Silicone Teether with Teething Gel Applicator 4+ Months BPA FreeMy niece is about four months old and when this was given to her she started gumming it right away. Her mother was quite surprised, apparently my niece doesn't tend to like pacifiers or teethers but she was quite happy with this one. It fit in her hands well and looks easy to clean.

I agree this is just so perfect. Its flexable & has ridges & easy for baby to grasp. Plus it has the section for teething paste for babys sore gums. Its so hard to rub teething paste onto babys gums but this makes it a snap! Its the best teething ring so far. Very soft and silicone. A deff great buy

This teether is just too awesome. It is super squishy, has multiple textures, & is BPA, PVC, and phthalate free. One of the best parts is knowing that it is safe for my little one to chew on. Definitely worth the money!!!

This teether advocates using Orajel or other teething gel but this has been proven dangerous particularly in little ones less than two years old! Babies have died using Orajel or other benzocaine-containing teething products.

Baby's First Laptop Computer Playset

Baby's First Laptop Computer PlaysetI got this for my (11 months old at the time) daughter for Christmas. It is great for a small baby. Mine wasn't very durable, though. She really didn't play with it that much and the star easily came off. The star also came off of the little earth pouch. The rocket makes a cool rocket sound but it stopped working soon after it was opened. Other than these few complaints it is a cute toy and I think good for a first play laptop for babies. I also paid much less than the current almost $20 listed price. I wouldn't pay $20 for it, and after the problems really the $12 I paid for it wasn't really worth it. But, maybe it was just a flaw with mine. Still a neat toy.

Not that great of product. Flimsy and not very entertaining. Makes cool sounds, but one broke after only a few weeks of use. Doesn't come close at all to adult laptop for child to even think it was like her parent's. Not worth the price. Should be about $10 cheaper.

I bought this as a gift for my niece's 1st birthday present and it was a huge hit! She really likes playing with all the little gadgets and listening to the rocket ship make noises. It's really soft and lightweight that's what I liked most about it.

Under The Nile Chick Toy

Under The Nile Chick ToyPerfect for a baby's little grip-the legs are the width of a finger-could slip out my finger at night and replace with the chick. My daughter is now two and a half and she takes her two chicks everywhere especially when it's nap time or bedtime. They have held up nicely despite lots of love and are easy to clean (inside a pillow case on delicate in the wash).

I had expected this to be a chick, as in baby chicken, which it turns out not to be. But it is a nice little bird toy nonetheless.

Dandelion Pudgy Rattle

Dandelion Hand Crocheted Pudgy Rattle, MushroomI bought this for my 3 1/2 month old for Christmas and I'm quite impressed with the quality and look. It's the perfect size and easy for her to hold and chew on.

Cute rattle only its not as soft as I though but that is expected w this type of crotchet! it is really cute!

Buy Dandelion Pudgy Rattle Now

We love our Mushroom rattle. Not only is it unique and lovely, it successfully distracts our four-month-old son when he's fussy. Once he's soothed, we hand it to him, and he teethes on it. The label smacked across the center of one side is pretty unsightly, but easily removed by snipping the seams of the tag.

Way too small which caused me not to realise when she dropped it so now its already lost. Too expensive too

The rattle is admittedly small, but adorable. It's held up remarkably well in the few months that Scarlett's been gnawing on it. I would buy another for a baby shower basket.

Got this for my 4 month old, who was constantly sucking on his hands due to teething.

-Way oversize/awkward for small mouth

-Good idea, but not functional at all

-Be careful as there are no returns if opened

Adora Carry All Bag

Adora Carry All BagI was so disappointed when I received this item. It is very tiny, about 7 inches in width and 5 inches in height. It is made of cotton and it comes with two diapers inside, the two towels on the outside are just tiny little pieces of fabric with a bow sewn on them. I really feel like I could have bought something nicer at Walmart for about $10.

Great to play, but it is very small, and the material is not very durable anyway I recommend buying. Nice!

They tell you the size of this thing before you order it, but it really is SMALL. I got this for a friend's son's first birthday. I think it works well for something like that. Too small for big kids though.

Geomag GBaby Baby Farm - 19 pieces

Geomag GBaby Baby Farm - 19 piecesI was very surprised to read the other 3 reviews. Our 15month old boy loves them. They are in the bath tub at each bath and are the first toy he looks for.

He is very facinated by them and really focuses when playing with them.

We'll be buying more!

My toddler niece loved this toy for the day, but after that it was less interesting. The magnets are polarized, so they only work together in one direction, which is more geared towards pre-schooler and & Thomas trains than it is for toddlers. Unfortunately the animals and play is more suited for toddlers, so it makes having fun with these difficult. I think the concept is a good one, but the execution could have used more thought.

I bought this toy for my 1 1/2 year old daughter. She does not like to play with it. It is only creating clutter in the house.

My grandson is only 9 month. He luvs to shake these and knock them over. He hasn't caught onto the magnet part yet or building them. But he loves chewing on them, shaking them, and knocking them over as you build for him. I think he will grow with this set and it will be a Big Hit as he gets older and older. I have all the sets of this so he has a great variety. Do wish some more of the pieces did rattle when shaken. I have never used in the bath, but sure it would work.

Hoppop Rambla Child's Plastic Tumble Toys

Hoppop Rambla Child's Plastic Tumble ToysMy son is 7 months old and really enjoys these shakers.

Pros:

Each makes a different sound.

Durable and easy to clean.

Keeps my son's attention for a while.

Can be used as characters in imaginary play with blocks for older children.

Cons:

Some of the green coloring comes off with continued use. (I would still purchase again despite this.)

Younger infants may have a hard time gripping or picking these up. My son had difficulty at first but got the hang of it quickly.

I'm not sure how long my son will want to play with these.

Overall, I am pleased with this toy and would recommend this toy to others.

They're cute, clean and simple. My son carries them around and noms on them happily. I plan on gifting a set as soon as possible!

These things are adorable! They weigh less than I thought they would, but as soon as I set them down in front of my six month old son, he grabbed one, started shaking it, and put it in his mouth. Each one makes a slightly different sound, so it's fun for him to shake them. The light weight makes them easier for him to throw or push off of stuff, which means I have to pick them up for him constantly, but he likes them and that's what matters. They also got here super fast!
