My daughter loves pandas so I got it for her but the colors are way off. It is weird cream off white color instead of white and the "black" areas ares dark blue

15" Anne Geddes Baby Bunny

15' Anne Geddes Baby BunnyI purchased this doll for my now 8 year old niece. I had given her the same 1 when she was 1 1/2 years old, and her mom couldn't fix or mend it anymore as it had gotten so much use. I have been looking for this doll for the last 6 years,so when I presented it to her on her Birthday this year, well let's just say nothing can warm the heart like the smile of a child!!!!!

North American Bear Company Smushy Bear, Pink, Large

North American Bear Company Smushy Bear, Pink, LargeGreat stuff. Great material used in making. Soft to the touch and fine fine fine material. So very cute and nice.

I got one of these bears for my 9 month old great niece this past Christmas and now they're inseparable, especially at bedtime or nap time.

I was looking for the perfect bear to take weekly pictures with my daughter showing how much she has grown in her first year. This bear is PERFECT! It's big enough, while not being too big. It's also very soft and will be a great keepsake as she grows up. If I have any more children, I will buy this same bear for them too. Highly recommended for any parents who want a photographic record of their baby's growth.

Corner Bath Organizer

Corner Bath OrganizerI bought this item and when I opened the box I was surprised at how small it is! I figured it was better than nothing so I put it up in the corner of the bathtub. I walked away and heard it fall into the tub. I thought maybe I had not put it up well so I put it back and it fell again about a minute later... will be shopping for a new one ASAP. This is a huge waste of money.

I haven't had a problem with this sticking to my shower wall. It loses suction only occasionally (like, once a month). We store the munchkin letters in it (two entire sets). It's easy to reach for my kids and easy for them to put the letters back in (nice when you can let the kids do cleanup!).

This thing is terrible. It won't stick to my shower wall, won't stick to the tub, and it smells TERRIBLE! I was leaving it floating in the tub as a way to keep the toys corralled for my 6 month old because she was enjoying it, and I kept thinking the terrible chemical smell would go away, but after 2 baths I had to take it out of the tub, out of the bathroom, out of the HOUSE to get rid of the repulsive smell.

Don't waste your money!

Edushape Conga Drum Set

Edushape Conga Drum SetI ordered this for my 18 month-old son LOVES this set. I've read reviews that mentioned the drumsticks are too small for toddler's hands, but they're not. I guided my son on how to use the sticks and once he got the hang of it, he had a blast. He also usees the other musical items as drumsticks... This drum is extremely durable given the fact that my toddler beats on it constantly.

The set is great fun and also provides parents with an opportunity for interaction. (My son always hands me one of the instruments so I can shake it while he beats the drum.)

Lamaze Totem Pole Stackers Developmental Toy

Lamaze Totem Pole Stackers Developmental ToyMy husband bought this for our 5 month old son. These are wonderful toys. We are already fans of the Lamaze brand, owning both Lamaze Early Development Toy, Captain Calamari Lamaze Mortimer the Moose.

We bought these because they are unique for stackers. They look like a totem pole. I wasn't certain of the material until they arrived. They are a cloth like material so they can be wiped down with a damp rag. They are much larger than I thought, which is great for small hands that haven't quite learned how to grasp small items. They are each about the size of a baseball. They also have magnets that stack them together. So dexterity isn't an issue with stacking them on a pole like most of these toys. And each one can be as an individual toy.

I highly recommend this product.

I snapped this up for my almost-5-month-old son the instant I saw it on Amazon. The colors are bold and cute without being too "primary color," and I've never seen a totem-pole-themed toy for a baby before. The material is soft; the animals are about the size of a baseball and perfect for grabbing. The baby loves the crinkly parts, and there's a satisfying little rattle inside all three stackers.

Here's the but. These are stackers, but each one of ours is grossly misshapen. They didn't get squished in shipping; you can see by the way the cloth is cut and the seams are stitched that it was lopsided in the crafting process. Consequently, the fish pitches forward, while the bird and beaver both slant to the side, meaning that stacking all three on top of each other is a wobbly affair, even with the magnets helping out. Presently, my son doesn't care -he can't exactly stack them correctly anyway -but when he's older, I can imagine him getting irritated when they fall over due to fabric flaws rather than his own error.

Overall, it's a darling toy, but you're probably better off buying it from a brick-and-mortar where you can see whether it's defective or not, especially considering that all three of ours were goofed, not just one.

Buy Lamaze Totem Pole Stackers Developmental Toy Now

This is a great alternative to tradition blocks and stacking. It has a lot going on sensory wise with crinkling and ribbon tags and little faces. I bought this for my infant, but my toddler enjoys them too. It is a safe way to introduce magnetism to a toddler and the magnets offer an interesting twist to stacking and playing between an adult and an infant. You can demonstrate forces on an object to little people and the animals are SUPER CUTE. These are cool.

They are cute and make lots of noise with the crunchy stuff, however they lean and fall over when all stacked up. Kinda defeats the purpose.

I bought these for a niece who is too young to understand how to stack them but she loves to put the tail or wings in her mouth and carry them around. They are bright and look as pictured. Some people complained that they don't stack well but ours stacked great!

Mayapple Baby - Suri the Octopus and Friends Teether - 3 Teething Toys

Mayapple Baby - Suri the Octopus and Friends Teether - 3 Teething Toys - Blueberry SetI think these teethers are super-cute. I also really like the firm, but still "squishy" material they are made up. They are just the right size and shape for little hands. The shape allows the teether to reach farther back teeth as well. Can't wait for the book and plush sets that go with it!

*I did receive a free sample of this product to review on my blog. Opinions are still honest and my own.*

First, the important stuff, this teething set is 100% food-grade silicone; non-toxic; BPA and Phthalates free. Now the adorable stuff, this cute nautical theme three-piece teething set (octopus, anchor and wheel) fit our babies theme perfectly but also has practical textures and sensory points for baby to teethe throughout all three products. Check out Mayapple Baby's website for upcoming Suri and friends products since you will be able to collect items like Suri plushes and books. Love that!

Buy Mayapple Baby - Suri the Octopus and Friends Teether - 3 Teething Toys Now

I love that they are 100% food grade silicone & non-toxic. For me, these features are MUST. You wouldn't want your dog chewing on something dangerous so why would you let your child chew on something you didn't know was 100% safe.

Another thing that I LOVE about Suri the Octopus and Friends is the textures...

In fact the anchor alone has 6 biting sites & 3 different teething textures. Perfect for mouthing & teething.

Also love that all three teethers are the perfect size for little hands. Something that can easily be held on to.

I have been testing this product with my 5 month old baby for 2 months now and I have to say, I am glad I waited to write this review. Initially, at three months old my baby boy did not like any teethers, although he was teething. I gave it some time and by the time he was 4 months old, he could not keep the anchor out of his mouth. Now my baby is 5 and a half months and he has been loving the wheel. He loves all the different sensations the different spots give him and the relief they bring his sore gums. I highly recommend this product to any new parents or parents of infants from 3 months on. I am very excited that my baby loves these teethers and that they are very safe for him to put in his mouth all day long.

I am also happy to support people who do right by the end users, in this case our babies!!!

Star Trek Romper And Headpiece Spock

Star Trek Romper, SpockThis is a decent costume. It's fuzzy and soft so it'll be great for being outside in the cold but it's not really that durable and the hat doesnt fit so well. Overall it was way better priced then most of the costumes you get in the store so I think my purchase was worth it.

My husband is a Trekkie so this was a cute outfit for our son's first Halloween (he was 7 months at the time). However, the material quality is poor and the fasteners are all made of Velcro, not buttons. Overall it looked cute and for the price was good for a one-time use costume.

I like the reflective stripes on the sleeve and the star trek symbol on the chest, this product was designed to be worn outdoors in cooler climates. We however live in Hawaii and my boy is less than 2 and will be indoors most of the night making this fleece one piece outfit a uncomfortably hot one. Overall well built but not for use above 70 degrees F.

We got this costume for our 20 month old thinking that it would be really cute and a thrill for his Trekkie grandmother. While the romper fit pretty well, the headgear was waaaay too small. It did not even reach the bottom of his ears, let alone near his chin as shown in the photo. Unless you have a backup pair of Spock ears, I would avoid this costume.

Stripes and Brights Scraptopus Toy in Multi Color

Stripes and Brights Scraptopus Toy in Multi ColorIt is not a rattle, doesn't crinkle, has only one texture and no sound....I knew all of this before buying it and wanted to give it a try anyway...My daughter likes it but doesn't love it like she loves lamaze toys for example (but those r not organic and have polyester fibers coming out through the pores of the fabric.) She is attracted to the colors and the tentacles are easy to grab, put in her mouth, etc. But after 5 min she is done exploring it. Also, It takes long for the cotton inside to dry after washing and I wonder how sanitary that is. She loves to chew on the tag, I hope the ink is also natural and organic but it doesn't say. But I can always cut it off if it bothers me much.

My daughter likes this toy. It's colorful, soft, and easy for her to chew on the 'legs'. It's also a great size for little people, not so small that it makes me nervous but not so large that it overtakes my little kid.

I like it because it's organic. Overall we are happy, there isn't much more to say about it!

Want Stripes and Brights Scraptopus Toy in Multi Color Discount?

I bought the Scraptopus for my almost 3 month old daughter, and we both are so happy with it. She seems to love the happy face on it, and the tentacles are easy for her to grab and hold onto. It is super soft, and the loop on the top enables us to attach it to her gym, stoller, car seat, or whatever, by just adding a ring or clip. It's a great size, too large enough to hold her attention, but small enough for her to be able to manipulate. My one suggestion to make it even better would be to put some sort of noise maker inside, such as a chime or rattle. However, it's still a great toy as is!

Large Double Sided Infant Crib Mirror 100% surface wash NICU Approved

Large Double Sided Infant Crib Mirror 100% surface wash NICU ApprovedOverall this mirror is an excellent developmental product. The mirror is not distorted, it's easy to clean, doesn't scratch easily, is large yet lightweight, and the velcro system makes it easy to attach to and remove from (in case of medical emergency)our hospital cribs. The only issue we are having is that in some of the mirrors the white edging is separating from the mirror. It has not happened to all of them and it appears to be an issue with the glue. I would highly encourage Genius Babies to revise the type of glue being used because that's the only think keeping my review from being 10 stars!

Edited to add: I spoke with Genius Babies and they stated that they use non-stick tape to minimize the toxin exposure created by stronger glues. Overall, their customer service department was wonderful

I am so happy to have found this product!! I am a nurse with Carolina's Medical Center in the nursery and this product is a must have for newborns. I like the option of having a mirror on one side and black, white and red geometric shapes on the other. The mirror is shatterproof and easy to clean which makes it ideal for playtime. The velcro straps make mounting the mirror easy and convenient.

Buy Large Double Sided Infant Crib Mirror 100% surface wash NICU Approved Now

What can I say...it's a mirror and babies love mirrors. What I do like is the size, the fact that it's not glass (for obvious reasons) and the geometric shapes on the back. When my son gets bored with the mirror, we turn it around and he's entertained again. I intended to buy another, as we currently use the one for my little one's play area rather than the crib.

The only con is that the velcro straps aren't long enough to go around the top frame of my crib. I solved this by using two velcro straps to make one long strap (it comes with 4 straps total). As it was, I was only able to secure the top part the bottom part wasn't strapped down and so little arms/legs could get stuck under it. Not a big deal I will eventually go and buy longer straps once I put it back in the crib. Not really a complaint, more a wish that they would provide longer straps.

This is a great product. I put it in my daughter's bassinet when she was just 3 weeks old. I started with the geometric side....she loved the contrasting colors and would stare at them for several minutes at a time. She is now 3.5 months old and still loves looking at herself in the mirror the quality of the mirror is great...no distortion at all.

Want Large Double Sided Infant Crib Mirror 100% surface wash NICU Approved Discount?

This mirror is a must-have in child-raising. We put it on our son's changing table so we could watch each other; moved it to the bathroom sink when he was tall enough to wash his own hands, but not tall enough to see the mirror; and he just took it to college to use for shaving in the shower. It's amazing the things you can do with a big, unbreakable mirror. $25 divided by 18 years is about $1.40/year. Now that's a good investment!

Baby Fun Toy 4" Assorted Colors Development Sensory Balls, Set of 4

Baby Fun Toy 4' Assorted Colors Development Sensory Balls, Set of 4I gave these to my first grandchild and now to my second for Christmas. They are the GO-TO-Toy. My 8 month old grandson chased the balls all around the family room with his army crawl, ignoring all the other snazzy colorful toys, by reputable companies. They were also the favorite of our first grandson. Balls are the classic baby toy, and they hold their interest for more months than most toys. Our oldest grandson at 3.4 yr still plays occasionally with his set of balls. Balls just don't lose their appeal. These are just right in texture, size, and softness for grabbing, yet offering some challenge for the 8 month old. For the next birthday I am going to get a large one. As an aside, I bought some other play-and-learn balls with texture, sound, etc., but they never has the same day-on, day-out appeal, even though they looked much more appealing to me.

Baby Dolls: Kira Doll by Kids Preferred

Although her colors are faded, she has held up through many washes and her dress is still soft a year later.

My little girl was given this doll when she was born. She and the doll are now almost 3 and they are still playing strong. Through all the washings and chewing etc. this doll has held up and stayed good looking. She won't put it down.

I bought this for my niece as her first doll. She opened the gift box and grabbed baby Kira out of the box exclaiming "baby". This is a wonderful doll for young toddlers because it is so very soft & plush. I didn't give it many stars for educational because it is not very detailed; there are no fingers, toes or a belly button. The most important part for her mother is that baby Kira is washable.

Bought this at Scholars Choice, and our daughter loves it and is taking it to bed and just about everywhere now.

Or just as a switch for when the other one is in the laundry! ;-)

Sesame Street 1st Birthday Felt Party Hat

Sesame Street 1st Birthday Felt Party HatI got this hat for my son's first birthday, along with a 1st birthday crown-style hat. The crown was way too small, but this fit, with some room to spare. The safari style makes the extra room work. My son loves this hat and still plays with it and wears it all the time at home. He is now 2. I must say that I think it's more appropriate for a boy.

Fisher Price Brilliant Basics Musical Activity Keys

Fisher Price Brilliant Basics Musical Activity KeysThey're not called brilliant basics for nothing!!! This baby toy stimulates the senses, encourages developing motor skills, and enhances learning through discovery. I bought these for my friend's daughter and 3 months later, her daughter is still playing with it all the time. It is hands down one of her favorite toys. (perfect for age 3 months to 1 year)!

This was a favorite first toy for both of my girls. The pieces are bright, very large, and easy-to-handle. They are also entertaining and very durable. Since my nine-month old loves this toy so much, I keep one key in the diaper bag, one in the nursery, and one in the play room. She loved it when she was learning to sit, and now she drags one around when crawling or cruising along the furniture.

Lawnmower Push Toy

Lawnmower Push ToyI purchased 2 different push toys for my son. This one and PlanToys Preschool Walk N Roll. I felt compelled to write a review comparing noise level. This toy is so much more pleasant. The PlanToys version was VERY loud, and I am going to return it.

This toy also has a 2-piece handle so that it can be adjusted as the child grows older.

I bought this for our year-old great grandson. He received many toys and things for his birthday. His mother told me that is favorite toy is the Push Toy. When she vacuums, he walks behind her with the Lawnmower Push Toy with a big smile on his face. This toy was recommended to me by a friend who is also a grandmother. I'm sure he will be outdoors "mowing the lawn" with his Dad this summer. It doesn't make any noise to distract visitors or his mother using her phone.

Buy Lawnmower Push Toy Now

Was deciding between this and the classic lawnmower style push toy with the wooden slats on the outside and balls inside. Followed another reviewer's advice regarding the noise and am very happy I did. This makes enough sound to interest my one-year-old but isn't one of those toys that you end up taking away because you can't stand the racket any more. As far as push toys go, if you have a small house with narrow spaces for the child and toy to negotiate, this is much more practical than some of the larger walker/push toys out there.

Read Best Reviews of Lawnmower Push Toy Here

My one year old loved this. He pushes and pulls it around the house. It does not make annoying sounds just enough to keep him interested plus no batteries required. He just got it and already has had hours of enjoyment. Many toys today have a "learning" toy label on them but in my opinion they are just noise makers but with this one I can actually see him building his skills. Quality is good and should last.

Tinkle, Crinkle, Rattle & Squeak Worm - Primary

Tinkle, Crinkle, Rattle & Squeak Worm - PrimaryWe initially got this toy for our daughter based on the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio rating. I think it was too big for her at first, but now (she's eight months old) she loves it. She rediscovered it a month or so ago and loves picking at the antennae as well as squeezing and shaking it to get the various sounds. It's also nice because the sounds aren't obnoxious....

The sounds this toy makes fascinates babies who are just learning to grasp and control objects. This was my kids favorite toy by far for the first several months so I buy it for every baby shower.

Buy Tinkle, Crinkle, Rattle & Squeak Worm - Primary Now

I got this toy because it contains so many opportunities for sensory learning. Each segment is a different bright color and makes a different sound (activated when you or your child squeezes or shakes it -no dumbed down just push a button here) and it feels soft (made of velour). I got it when my daughter was 3 months old but I would say she didn't really fall in love with it until about five months. A great value.

This is for the gift-givers out there!!! Full disclaimer I don't have any kids but I sure do give a lot of baby GIFTS and I have given this gift over 20 times to newborn babies in my family and friend circle. Almost every time, the mother reports that it is the baby's favorite toy, and the one they reach for to distract the child if they are changing their diaper or whatever. I have gotten so many emails about this! So the parents that I have given the toy to, they in turn give it as a gift now also!

So if you need a gift for a shower, go ahead and get the rainbow worm! You won't go wrong!

Now, one question, does it tinkle???

Want Tinkle, Crinkle, Rattle & Squeak Worm - Primary Discount?

I know the dimensions are listed, but for some reason I was surprised at how big/long the caterpillar is. Because it is not like a big stuffed animal (long and thin) it was very easy for my 4 month old to hug and hold. He can easily pull it to his mouth to bite on it. He's almost 6 months now and can focus on one area or another...it is still big for him. So I can see how for the next few months, he'll still be interested because it is big and he can do more and more with it. my 2 year old niece visited and latched onto it and began imagination play.

RiNGLEY Natural Teething Toy

RiNGLEY Natural Teething ToyMy son hates generic teethers, but loves chewing on wet washcloths, towels, you name it. After having this for about a week he is finally using it. I get it wet, ring out the excess water, and he loves it. The only CON is that the organic cotton is too soft. I would love this as a washcloth, but he seems to still enjoy a normal one more than this, I'm guessing the roughness feels better.

But overall, does serve it's purpose.

I bought this teething ring for my son. I liked it because it was all natural and could still be washed!! My son uses it at times but it is not his favorite when he needs to bite on something. I have used it wet and dry. I have also used it wet and out of the fridge. Its a good product but I would not buy it again if I had another child. I think the wooden ring is just to hard for my son's liking.

This is clearly a well made toy, and I like that it's not plastic. However, my baby refused to play with it. Even at the worst of his teething he ignored it. I tried wetting it, and getting it wet and then freezing it. Still no dice. I'm contemplating giving this to the dogs so that someone will play with it.

Want RiNGLEY Natural Teething Toy Discount?

At first I thought my daughter wouldn't like the wooden ring, but after a few days of giving it to her she became attached and even holds onto the ring while she naps. She is 4 months and hasn't started teething yet but loves to slobber on toys so this works great. It is more expensive than plastic toys but well worth it.
