Kidz Delight Smooth Touch Tablet, Fun N Play

Kidz Delight Smooth Touch Tablet, Fun N PlayI thought the whole screen would be backlit like a real tablet, but instead only one small circle icon in the upper left lights up. The rubber buttons with stickers on top are just not what I expected. At $29.99, it seemed overpriced for the limited number of functions that this toy has. My main problem is with the picture on the website, which in my opinion is misleading.

Very Cheaply made, boring, so not worth the money. You cannot understand what is said, my grandson spent about 5 minutes with this and shows no interest

My almost 2 year old likes this just fine, but he's not quite old enough for the games,I guess there is a game mode. He likes to push the buttons, but his favorite button with the coolest noise is the power button.

From the manufacturer's commercial, we thought that some of these parts would at least light up, even animate. The commercial clearly animates inanimate areas on the tablet, it's false advertising with the intent to mislead the buyer.

Just to makes this clear, NONE of the icons change, move are animated or light up or do ANYTHING, Only the border of the top left icon is lit, when the tablet is turned on as a kind of on/off light. That's it.

We are very disappointed.

I mean, the pictures when touched are triggering a sound, sometimes two sounds alternating. And that's ok, but there is little that keeps a kid's attention.

I don't know if this is just a dinosaur among other electronic toys. Or if it's just not as interesting in comparison.

I have to admit, that we let our 5 years old play some apps on the iPad now, and of course while we thought this toddler's tablet would be a good thing for him, so he doesn't feel left out, he just always looks at the iPad, when his sister is playing and wants to pay that, too. His Kidz Delight Smooth Touch Tablet is just laying around and is not even looked at.

$30-$40 is too much for a toy that is not at all interesting to a kid. :-(

So I was expecting this to be more like an actual tablet, which I realize, for the price, was setting my expectations a little high. One thing I don't really like is that there is no volume control and the noises are quite loud. I purchased this for a plane ride and after hearing how loud it was, decided not to even bring it. It is nice that it has both english and spanish languages included, but I was expecting more of an interactive toy.

Go Go Buddies Rock-a-bee

Go Go Buddies Rock-a-beeI bought two of these, one for my one 13 month old niece and one for my 10 month old nephew. They looked really cute pushing them around and getting excited about the lights.

Fisher-Price Walker-To-Wagon

Fisher-Price Walker-To-WagonWe bought this for our 9-mo. old son, who is now 12 mos. old. He loved it from the start, and still plays with it. It is stable enough that he can pull himself up without the walker tipping over--he can actually walk all around it, holding on to the handle from different angles, without it tipping.

I don't understand the reviewer here who complained of "sharp parts" and not enough room for legs/feet when configured as a walker. Our son is big for his age, and he has no trouble walking comfortably behind the walker. (In fact, our 4 year old has no trouble, either.) As for "sharp parts," there are none. This is a perfectly safe toy.

Bottom line: both our kids love it, and they play with the various spinning balls, flip-over pieces, etc. We're very happy with the toy, and after comparing with other available walkers, we think this one offers a great value for what you get.

Our son is 10.5 months old and just learning to stand and cruise; he can pull to standing and cruise along furniture. We bought this so he can hold onto it while learning to walk. The wheels, however, spin far too easly. When he uses the handle to pull himself up the wheels spin forward (unlike a stable piece of furniture), and when I stand him at the walker the wheels move far too quickly and easily for him (he'd fall if I let go of him). I think it would be good for children who already walk, but not for children just learning to balance/stand/walk. If it were billed properly I'd have given it a higher ranking, but it falls short of its purpose for us. We'd like it if the wheels were more difficult to push, or had varying degrees of difficulty. I see other reviewers seem to be using it for the purpose we'd like to so it's hard to tell what, if anything, is different. My husband is now going to try to rig it so the wheels turn less easily, but I wouldn't recommend this toy for a child just learning to stand/balance/cruise/walk.

As far as its other features: all okay, but nothing new. I wouldn't buy this just for the shape sorter, for example, though the shape sorter is just fine. The do-dads to flip and play with are fun and fine as well, but not worth buying a walker/wagon for. All in all, I think it has good features (toys) for pre-walkers, and it would be a good wagon or walker for those who already balance well and perhaps walk some.

Buy Fisher-Price Walker-To-Wagon Now

My twins like the doodads on this walker, the flip pages, the twisty knob and the spring thingy. As a walker it does move a little fast. My daughter had no problems with this, but my son did. I guess every baby is different, but he would end up falling a lot because it got away from him. Now, as we have just converted it to the "wagon" feature, it seemed like it was going to be great, but the handle FALLS to the floor!! I don't know why they couldn't make it so the handle would stay up. It is very frustrating for my kids. For some reason they have trouble bending down to pick the handle up and then pulling it. Also, because the handle lays on the floor, it takes up a lot of room!! Anyway, it's okay. I think I would get something different if I had to do it over again.

I got this toy for my one year old daughter. She was very amused by it intially. She still enjoys pushing and pulling it around and piling stuff in it, it's just hard for her to walk with it. She does not like it in it's "wagon" position as of yet because the handle sits on the floor and won't stay up. In it's walker position she is forced to walk in a notch between the rear wheels that is very narrow and difficult for her to move around in. It trips her most of the time when she is pushing it and catches her heels when she's pulling it. She enjoys this toy, but the rear wheels leave a lot to be desired.

We got two of these for my twins when they were 11 months old. I actually picked them up at Wally World the day after Thanksgiving for $10 each. They've been playing with them for a solid 10 months at this point, so they are very durable. They put stuff in the shape sorter part and race through the house laughing the whole way. I had the bright idea to turn it into a wagon today and I'm seriously disappointed. I actually got online to see if I was missing something. The handle sits on the floor! They can pick up the handle without a problem, but since I changed it, they've stopped playing with the toy.

Haba Miniland Fabric Ball

Haba Miniland Fabric BallMy 6-month-old positively loves this toy, and has for the two months it's been in the house. It is very durable and hasn't fallen apart or exploded despite lots of throwing and chewing, though I would be too scared to put it in the washing machine. It cleans up very well just with a little antibacterial soap and water and left to air-dry, even after getting puke on it. Only thing is that the choice of colors for the road and ground and water are a bit weird, but who knows maybe grass really is periwinkle in Germany. I've never been there so I couldn't say.

Got this for my Son for Christmas. He likes to chew on the little buildings and trees.

I don't know about him, but I like the little chimes inside.

Buy Haba Miniland Fabric Ball Now

We bought this for our baby when he was three months old, and right from the beginning he loved this ball. The trees, houses, etc. sticking out all over its surface make it great for very young babies who are just learning to hold onto toys. Its soft and light materials made it perfect for him because he sometimes whacked himself in the face, but it didn't hurt. Now he's eight months old and he still loves it. He mostly chews on the houses and trees or waves the ball around. I also love that it's interesting to look at. So many balls out there are just boring plastic; this one feels well-made, is more colorful and full of interesting details.

I just recieved the item today, but I like it already. It is a good size (not to big) ball with many houses, a duck, a car, trees and other things sewn on it. The ball is well put together and it seems it won't break easily. it can be washed in cold water, which is nice. Trees are with crackle fabric and the ball itself has a bell inside: Very nice sound

I accidentally ordered this product while purchasing some other toys on Amazon for my 9-month old. When I found out that I had unintentionally paid eighteen dollars for a toy that we didn't want in the first place, I was pretty annoyed. This has turned out to be a sturdy ball though. The stitching is reliable and the ball makes a nice sound. However, I feel that one would only pay this much for a fabric ball if they were buying more so for the label. This ball is relatively small so I feel that ten dollars would be a far more reasonable price. It's easy for babies to grasp though which is certainly a positive.

Floating Rubber Duck Family 4 Piece Bath Set

Floating Rubber Duck Family 4 Piece Bath SetI got this product to float in a koi pond that my cats insist on playing in. I figured floating these duckies in the pond would give my cats something to 'swat' at without focusing on our fish. The momma duck floats upright well; however the baby ducks float upside down better than they do right-side up. I would think those designing 'rubber duckies' could at least manage to create a product that floats upright. Anyway my husband and I spend our time uprighting the small duckies. Our cats think it is fun to send them floating upside down again. Our duckies haven't filled with water as some complained because we haven't squeezed them. There were some who said that there is no way to get all the water out of them once they have water inside. Perhaps ours would float upright if we had a little water in them for weight...don't know.

Infantino Stick and Play Highchair Toy

Infantino Stick and Play Highchair ToyI bought this toy because I wanted something to keep my son occupied in his highchair while I was busy in the kitchen. We have a couple highchair toys and this is by far his favorite... it also has the best suction! There is a lot going on on this toy but he is able to manipulate all of the different pieces. If the suction cup is on there right, it will stay on no matter what! I had one incident right after we got it when my son pulled on the bee and it whacked him in the face! After that, I started to push my fingers around the suction cup after sticking it on to make sure it is actually stuck all the way around. I haven't had an issue since. This is a great toy! I recommend it to everyone I know.

I did not buy this at Amazon, but wanted to rate it for future purchasers.

I bought it to stick on high chair tray to keep my grandaughter interested while I made her food. It stuck for a couple of seconds, but was quickly pulled off. It is useless as a high chair toy. High chair tray is smooth and not textured so that was not the problem

However, my grandaughter really likes this toy and so I hold it while she plays with it. She will sometimes play with it on her own.

I would rate it zero stars for a high chair toy, and three stars as a toy, so I settled on two stars as a compromise

Buy Infantino Stick and Play Highchair Toy Now

~BACKGROUND~

I purchased this toy for my 2 month old son to aid in the development of his motor skills.

I have suctioned the toy to various surfaces plastic, corian counter, finished wood.

~PROS~

Spinning flower "clicks" as it turns and makes the beads move and make noise as well. Also provides an added feature and easier access to the 4 petals mirror, spinning butterfly, spinning bee and bead filled petal.

Great entertainer for the high chair. We are currently using ours in the Bumbo Floor Seat with Tray AQUA with the Bumbo Seat Play Tray, Ivory.

Can be used as a non-stick plain old toy as well.

~CONS~

The "stay put base" does not stay put very well. It appears to work best on a very smooth surface, but still loses it's suction. I have tried numerous methods in an attempt to keep it suctioned various levels of pressure on the base, various amounts of moisture on the suction cup. Sometimes it stays put longer than others, but eventually it falls over.

~TIPS~

As with any toy that gets put in your child's mouth (which is practically everything) I strongly encourage the use of non-toxic products that are safe for your child such as:

The First Years 90 Count Pacifier Wipes

Munchkin 36 Pack Arm and Hammer Pacifier Wipes, White

~CONCLUSION~

My son loves to sit in his before mentioned Bumbo with the flower stuck to the Bumbo tray. I like to move it from one side to the other to encourage him to use both of his hands to spin the flower and explore the petals.

Adorable toy but pretty much worthless because it constantly falls over. Flower is top heavy. Ordered a few more sassy toys and they stick much better. Waste of money....ugh

Want Infantino Stick and Play Highchair Toy Discount?

I bought this toy at another retailer and at first it was great. The only problem? (and the reason it only got 3 stars) It doesn't stick! It continuously falls off my son's highchair and his floor seat. He can easily pull it right off. He loves the toy itself, but it just doesn't stay put. I wish infantino would make a different base to it, with less places a baby can grab on to to unattach the toy.

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow 2-in-1 Musical Mirror

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow 2-in-1 Musical MirrorI am a little torn about this toy. I usually love products that show some versatility, and can be used at various times, in different ways. Well, this toy didn't show any versatility whatsoever. The least I can say about the music is that it is very 'blah'. Just the same 3 songs over and over again, and they last about 5 seconds each.

I originally purchased it as a crib mirror. When I was pregnant I heard from many people that newborns can benefit a lot from looking at themselves in a mirror, even if they don't know that it's their own image they see. So I looked for a mirror, preferably a soft one since I was going to use it with a very young baby. I chose that one because of the large size of the reflecting zone, and because it was matching the theme of the nursery. Shortly after I gave birth I realized that people were right: before she was 2 weeks old she would a;ready stare at it for long minutes, and after she got 2 months old, she started smiling whenever she saw her reflection. But that's about all there is to it as far as she was concerned. She stopped having any interest for it after she got 4-5 months old.

So even though I found it limited in its functionality, I must admit that it did a great job for the purpose we originally bought it for. So I felt that it would be unfair to give it less than 4 stars. If you are looking for a safe mirror which appeals to a newborn, that's definitely the one you need. For a 'toy' per se, even for a tummy time mirror, that's not the one I would have picked. For a tummy time mirror I would recommend the FP Baby Go! Crawl Along Snail.

Mirror scratches way to easily. Like the options for use. Nice size to mirror. Music "box" annoying but appeals to baby.

We bought this mirror because our almost 3-month old son hates being on his tummy and lifting his head up. He can do it, but he hates it. If we use this mirror, it seems to help! It's great because it stands on its own, has toys on the side that baby can grab onto, and the musical fish is genius the sounds usually persuade him to crane his head up. The only thing I dislike about it is that the black fabric of the penguin attracts dog hair like the plague. Overall it is a great product for tummy time, and playtime in general. Something about those mirrors, babies love them!!

Our daughter loves this toy and it truly does help with tummy time. It keeps her engaged talking with the "other baby" and she would stay on tummy time longer. Now that she is rolling around, she still enjoys to play with this. And as she realizes that the button on the whale plays music she is even happier. Also, this plays different music than all of her Jungle toys (THANK GOD!) so mom and dad finally get some variety!

Under The Nile Corn Toy

Under The Nile Corn ToyI bought this for my baby and my friends kids after we all read Omnivore's Dilemma. It's adorable, soft and very durable. I threw it in the washer and because it's filled with so much cotton I had to put it thru 2 cycles in the dryer to dry it. It still looks new even after almost weekly washes and being chewed on by my baby for 5 months.

this is cute and really well made. my baby has a hard time getting his hands around it right now (4 months old) to really hold onto it. he's drooling like a fountain and this really soaks it up so there's no "puddle" on the blanket or his shirt!

Our little one has LOVED this since he was 2 months old, when we started tickling his nose and hands with the 'silks' on the 'head' of this ear of corn. At 4 months of age, he is grabbing it and puts it in his mouth... too cute! Great toy for in the car and stroller because it is easy to find and doesn't get hot in the sun.

I bought every single vegetable and fruit that Under the Nile makes! They are made of the softest material and have the sweetest faces! My 1 year old enjoys carrying these around and chewing on them as she cuts teeth. She also enjoys pushing them around in her shopping cart and I expect they will last long enough to transition into pretend play when she is old enough!

Animal Print Zebra and Leopard Chiffon Tutu for Girls Ages 2-7

Animal Print Zebra and Leopard Chiffon Tutu for Girls Ages 2-7Bought this item for my daughter to wear at her birthday party. She absolutely loved it. Was also a very great price!

The size was supper small so for a small I'd say it only fits toddlers. I'm also disappointed in the loose threads in the top colored layer as there was many at the bottom and the top section, although sturdy looking it had Missed sewn section. I would send it back for money back but considering shipping cost the same amount of the product, wasn't even worth it. I'll have to do some sewing to fix it. The 2 underskirts are white with a color over skirt.The picture must be a large or extra large and is darker than the actual product. As i got the small, I figure my 5 year old granddaughter can use it for a doll. I'm very disappointed. Price was fine for 5 bucks but as the shipping was almost 6 bucks, I would not recommend this product. If the shipping was free, yes it would be worth it but its not. Such a disappointment for a Christmas Present.

Jan 2013 update: Well my 5year old Grandbaby opened it and it was so small I dare not try to put it on her. It will be regulated to a stuffed doll or toy for looks unless someone has a baby girl and wants it. Not worth the price at all. Not Even same look as in the picture. Don't buy it.......My daughter called me about the tutu and said it's outside layer is just sheeding strings like crazy. Plain its Bad Product and wont last a week even of costume play.

Tolo Curly The Cobra

Tolo Curly The Cobraso cute, my little girl loves this. Its bright and adorable. It does not fit on my crib but we keep it on the car seat

I bought this toy hoping that it would entertain my 15 month old while trying to go to sleep. It is very cute, and has some fun things to do. My daughter especially loves the tongue on the snake, you can pull it out and it shakes as it goes back in its mouth. I was disappointed though when I tried to attach it to her crib rail. She has a convertible crib and the side rail isn't a standard size and I couldn't get the toy to attach correctly. I decided to still keep it and let her play with it outside her crib, she still enjoys it. I am sure with a standard crib the toy would be even more fun! I ended up getting a different toy for her crib, which she loved. (Fisher-Price Rainforest Waterfall Peek-a-Boo Soother

This is a nice toy for the crib to entertain your child when he or she wakes up, however after having it only a month or two the snake's tongue stopped working (you pull on it and it goes back in with a noise). This was one of the most interactive aspects of the toy, so it's disappointing that it broke so quick.

For $50 I expected something a lot more impressive. A crib toy for $50 needs to be not only entertaining and visually appealing but also good quality and good presentation (particularly if using it for a baby shower). The toy arrived in a ratty UPS envelope without any product packaging. As a result, the crib toy appeared dingy and shop worn. I returned it immediately. Received a credit for $42 not $50 adding insult to injury.

vtech Fly and Learn Airplane

vtech Fly and Learn AirplaneThis was one of my sons favorite toys.... until it just started to repeat the same song over and over again. I contacted vtech and they told me to change the batteries (didnt work) or to return it to where it was purchased (without packaging or recipe yeah). So I will contact them again as they said they would help me if either of those suggestions didnt work out. I anticipate that even a replacement will only last a few months. :(

*** Update after a couple months back and forth with VTech. They are not interested in helping replace the product. I finally got them to exchange the item (they are out of stock on this one), but they required me to insure and ship it to them. Its just not worth the cost or effort to get another one of their faulty products. Steer clear of this manufacturer. ***

I bought this for my six month old son a month ago. Two weeks ago it started to just repeat nonstop. The only way to get it to shut up is turn the power off. He wouldn't be anywhere near it so I figured out quite swiftly it was not his wondering little hands playing with the buttons. VERY disappointing purchase. I would recommend you search a little longer and don't settle for this toy.

Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds Remote

Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds RemoteThis is a winner! Its mostly taken the place of the real remotes in the house which is great! I find it comical that some of the other parent review have said this toy is "not educational" or not much for "brain development". People toddlers learn by playing. That is how their little brain develop. A toy remote is not a set of flashcards, but thankfully toddlers don't require flashcards to learn and develop their brains.

After searching for some time for a play remote for our daughter, we found this at a local Walmart store. It's EXACTLY what I had been looking for!

Looks close enough to the real thing that your baby shouldn't be too disappointed when you swap your real remote with this one.

My daughter loves how the blue eyelids close.

All the buttons makes SEVERAL sounds the volume buttons on it actually do turn it up and turn it down in volume!

Her favorite button to push is the number 6 because it plays cute music.

Teaches numbers.

I always bring this with when we travel in the car or shopping at the mall. Small enough to fit in your purse, but big enough to occupy their time for a while!

VERY durable I can't count the number of times it's been thrown around and dropped and it works perfectly!

I just love it! The batteries seem to last forever in it too which is a huge plus!

Buy it, you'll love it! We've had ours for well over a year now, it's in perfect shape, and our 19 month old still loves it.

Buy Fisher-Price Sesame Street Silly Sounds Remote Now

We bought this for our daughter when she was 9 months, and she still loves it at 15 months. Our family loves the humor built into all the Sesame Street programs and toys, and this remote is no different. The volume key actually works to incrementally turn up or down the volume of the toy and the big Monster eyes are a hit with the little one, they make a cute "power on / power off" noise when you hit the button on the side. She always liked to open and shut the eyes with her finger and I think this helped refine her control of her index finger.

The best part of the remote is that it has saved us from numerous tantrums as it is very easy to throw in the diaper bag.

This toy caught my eye because it looks almost exactly like my actual TV remote. Same color, shape, even the buttons are similarly placed. My son has an obsession with our TV remote, and whenever he gets his little hands on it, it takes me forever to undo whatever it is he's done to the TV settings!

As soon as I received this, I didn't give it to him right off. I placed it on the arm of our couch (where I tend to place our actual remote) and let him find it on his own. When he spotted it, he made a mad dash for it, and was just thrilled to pieces! He kept looking at me sideways, wondering when I was gonna take it away, and sat quietly on the couch with it for some time!

I absolutely recommend this little toy! I never put it with all his other toys, I always keep it in the living room where the real remote is so he can feel like he's playing with the actual thing...this was definitely a smart purchase!

If your child is like my twin granddaughters and put everything in their mouths, beware that they can scrap the paint and paper off with their teeth. We had to take it away from them. The blue is painted on and the writing is paper.

Kiddieland Disney Baby Princess Activity 4-in-1 Ride-On

Kiddieland Disney Baby Princess Activity 4-in-1 Ride-OnI am changing my review, but they wouldn't let me edit the star rating. I would give this a 4.75 star. Very durable on all accounts. My 3 year old son also plays, sits, rides, jumps and hangs on it as well. There are bumpers in the back and front to prevent falling over. This is a great product. My little girl has loved it since she got it. Though for some reason she really likes to go backwards on it. I just wanted to write this review to help those out who think the buttons stop working. The tricky thing is that there is only one set of batteries for all the moving/sound making parts. For some reason they stop working at different times. I found that when they all stopped working and I replaced the batteries all the parts started working again. The first to go is the front where all the disney princesses dance and move to the music. I think the last to go is the piano just in front of the seat. Because they are stopping at different times, you are under the assumption that it is not the batteries. Since some parts still function completely normal and some don't at all it appears to be a malfunction of some sort. Try new batteries and see if it doesn't fix the problems. This is a wonderful toy with piano, dancing disney princesses, magic mirrors, music, horse riding noises, storage, and push and ride on toy.

My daughter got this for her 1st birthday. We had two other walkers already but this one is much sturdier and more fun. There's a stopper on the back to prevent it from tipping backwardsbigger than the one in the front shown in the picture. There's storage under the seat, a piano, a horn, and plenty of buttons that make noises. It also plays 2 different songs when you push the trees in front and spins the figurines around. The old Disney Princess walker is not as sturdy as this one. Even my 3yr old can ride it without worrying she may break it. Very pleased!

Purchased this for my granddaughter's 1 year birthday. She loves it! It has lots of sounds and although I am very sound sensitive I do not find it too loud as other reviewers did, perhaps it has been toned down. It has a keyboard and it did not take long for her to make the connection. She loves to honk the horn. She raises the seat and places toys inside. It took a few weeks for her to master getting on and off due to her size. I think this toy will be enjoyed for a very long time.

As with most ride-on toys, it is hard to find a big enough place to use them for riding. With only 4 pushes my two-year-old is at the other side of the house.

Whoozit Photo Album

Whoozit Photo AlbumThe pictures won't last long, but this is a great way to introduce your child to their family and themselves. We (my husband and I) used this album for pictures of our 18 month old's grandparents and aunts and uncles that our son didn't get to see daily.

After just a few days, he was asking after his Unca Shawn and Wammy (Grammy). Now, at 3 1/2 years old, my son still uses his album to display holiday pictures and postcards from his uncle who lives in Hawaii and his grandpa who travels the world. We use copies of pictures because we know they will take a beating, but the soft fabric book feels much nicer than a cheap photo album and he loves to show it off to friends and family when they come to visit just like Mama with her scrapbooks.

I got this for my 16 month grandson for Christmas. Since we only get to see him once a month I wanted him to know us from sight and I feel this album really has helped him. He points to the pictures and knows who the pictures are of (we filled in the album of us, his grandparents, and pictures we took with him). The album is durable, easy to turn pages for his small hands, and easy for him to carry around. We don't worry about him when he chews on it or tosses it around.

My baby girl is definitely stimulated by the photo book, but it seems that the toys that I have bought from Manhattan Toy, including the photo book, are poor in quality and not very sturdy. I would try and different photo book next time.

I bought one of these albums for my first granddaughter, and felt that my second should have one as well. We lived in another state at the time of the first purchase, so I was concerned that she know her extended family. Even though the family lives nearby now, it's fun to have pictures of people you know in a book. Both girls love to look at the pictures. This particular album is a good quality cloth, the pictures are secure in the book, and babies love to chew and play with the attached rings.

I filled this album with family pictures my 13 month old granddaughter adores it. It is one of the first things she pulls out of her toy box when she visits. The crinkly pages in between the pictures also keep her interested. Covered in bright colors and designs, it is very attractive.

Plastic Jeweled Princess Wand Assortment (6 pcs)

Plastic Jeweled Princess Wand AssortmentI bought these as party favors for a princess-themed Birthday Party. While the kids enjoyed the wands, I thought they were poorly made. There are no actual rhinestones on the wands. Instead, they used paint to make it look like there are. From a distance and in photos, it did the trick. Also, a lot of the feathers were ratty.

I bought these wands to go in the favor packs for a princess birthday party.

The wands are very cheaply made. I wish the manufacturer in China would take the time to fix the following problems:

1) the "main" gem is not a gem but actually a hole/indentation with some sort of paint on it to make it look purple or pink. The problem is that whoever or whatever painted them did a really messy sloppy job so up close the "gem" is horrible looking. The paint runs over the edges or doesn't properly cover the "gem" area. In pictures, they'll probably look okay.

2) the wand base has sharp plastic burrs from the mold. This is a safety issue since they'll be handled by children. I tried to capture pictures of this but not sure the camera or angle makes the problem clear.

They are pretty and fun. Perfect for children dress up.

When I got them one was broken. Then I dropped one and it snapped. They have a long steam and a small top. I'm hoping my neices can get more out of them and they last longer for them, but if your looking for a quick dress up wnd for a party or dress up box this is your wand.

I bought these for my Granddaughters 3rd birthday party for party favors. All the little girls just loved them! They were the perfect size and just enough "foo foo" to please them all. None of them broke during the party, so I would say they are pretty durable but they were being used by little girls. I was very pleased for the price and they shipped very fast! No complaints here :)

Tiny Love Fruity Pals

Tiny Love Fruity Pals, Anna BananaWhen I purchased Ozzie, I had seen pictures of him, but I wasn't able to find a description that really explained all that Ozzie has to offer. So, in case you're wondering, I've included a description of Ozzie:

1. First of all, I thought he was going to be a small hanging toy. Ozzie is not small. In fact, I would say he's a medium to large sized hanging toy for a baby. He measures about 10 inches long (not including the hanging ring.) This was a pleasant surprise, because our baby is able to grasp and hold on to Ozzie's features.

2. Ozzie's body is a plush, orange sphere. His body is divided into quarters (like orange slices). The baby can separate the quarters to reveal a colorful interior of pink, blue, yellow, and green. The quarters do not separate completely, so you don't have to worry about losing pieces of the orange.

3. In the center of Ozzie's interior is a small orange ball with a happy face (kind of like a baby orange.) When you pull the ball, it causes the toy to vibrate. My son is 5 months old, and he is not coordinated enough to pull this ball himself. But, he is starting to make some sense of the cause-effect thing, so I pull the baby orange for him, and he laughs and waits for me to help him do it again. I do think that Ozzie can help with teaching the cause-effect relationship to small babies.

4. Each orange quarter is very slightly magnetized so that the slices fit back and hold together.

5. Ozzie has two arms that are stretchy. On the end of each arm is a purple "hand" made of a rubbery textured material that the baby can chew on. This is our son's favorite Ozzie-part right now.

6. Ozzie has two legs that are stretchy. Each leg has plastic rings around them, and the feet have mirrors on the bottoms.

7. A plastic ring is included for attaching Ozzie to a stroller, play gym, etc. The ring can be removed. It is definitely large enough to fit most (if not all) stroller bars and car seat bars.

8. There are some bells inside of Ozzie that produce a nice, light jingling noise. No loud music, no lights, just a simple jingle.

8. According to the instructions, Ozzie cannot be submerged in water, so he is not machine washable. However, I have washed Ozzie several times on the cold, gentle cycle in my washing machine. I hang him to dry, and he's come out perfectly fine. I would not put him in the dryer.

9. No batteries required. YAY!

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS: We ordered Ozzie and Anna Banana at the same time. The Tiny Love Fruity Pals seem like really great toys for babies, and I would definitely recommend them. I especially like that these toys do not talk or light up. We like the toys with lights and sounds, but it's also nice to have some things that are a bit more quiet. Right now, our son is talking to Ozzie about something very interesting. :) He's found Ozzie's manufacturer's tag, and he's chewing on it. He's already chewed the hands and loves for me to pull the baby orange inside. He hasn't quite mastered separating the quarters himself, but he's starting to figure it out. I think this toy is very engaging and appropriate for a 4-5 month old. Additionally, Ozzie seems like a great toy to grow with our son for many months to come.

We bought this toy for our daughter three years ago and she loved it. It endured incredibly well, being her favorite "going out" toy. Now our son is using it for the same purpose and the toy is just as beloved.

It requires no batteries but it is recommended surface wash only. We've washed it in the machine and it's come out fine. It has lots of chewable spots, is soft, has a pull-tab "baby" inside and keeps little ones busy in several ways.

We call ours "Mister Pumpkin," since it looks more like a pumpkin than an orange. Mister Pumpkin has been through a lot and looks pretty darn good. This is a great investment and will be loved and used by your little ones for years.

We found this banana while looking for car seat/stroller toys. My Niece and I were looking at it and showing it to my 5 month old son. We decided to put it back and look around some more. As soon as it left his vision my baby started crying. It's the first time he's "asked" for a toy. So I bought it. I expected him to lose interest quickly, but he hasn't. We take it everywhere. He loves the crinkly peel and the chewy hands. He hasn't discovered the little mirrors on the feet yet, but i have no doubt he will love those too. So far it's been a great buy.

I got this toy for my 4 month old (she actually reached for it on the rack and started chewing on it in the store) and she just loves it. I keep it attatched to her carseat and it keeps her from fussing while I drive. I would definitely recommend this toy, it's a great value and does tons of things. My daughter especially loves the crinkly "peel" and all the chewable parts.

Baby Einstein Discover and Play Stackers

Baby Einstein Discover and Play StackersBaby Einstein Discover and Play Stackers

I purchased these for my nephew's first birthday. He liked playing with them, not necessarily building with them but throwing them. I had to take them away because he started to rip the pictures off and eat the paper. I don't recommened these for younger children there only cardboard and the pictures rip off easily.
