Buy Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Nursery Rhyme Keys Now
It's a great toy for babies. My 6 month old likes them a lot. The only con is that the base of the keys is very heavy, so it makes it hard for him to pick up and plus with it falls it hits hard. He likes the music, and loves to chew on the keys, so I think it's just a matter of time as he gets better at picking things up before this is a favorite.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Nursery Rhyme Keys Here
My daughter received this as a gift when she was 3 months old. It STILL is her favorite toy and she is 12 months! She loves the songsshe likes to dance to them and now she is starting to try to sing them! She has been very rough with itthrowing it A LOT and somehow it still works. I am amazed that the battery life has not worn out yet too!Want Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Nursery Rhyme Keys Discount?

Corolle Babicorolle Pillow Soft 11" Babipouce Doll (Asian)
Three years later, the doll is still a favorite and is still in good shape. She's had a ride or two through the washing machine, and is reasonably clean. Her head is still on (a problem with my daughter's baby doll), and the cloth body isn't showing significant wear, despite a lot of loving from her mistress. The doll goes everywhere and does everything with her, and is loved very much without falling to pieces.
Because of her resemblance to her child, her "playability" and her durability, I give this doll the highest of recommendations.

I bought this doll for my 1 year old neice. This is a good first doll so the baby can point out her eyes, hands, etc. This doll is very huggable. This Asian version is adorable!Read Best Reviews of Corolle Babicorolle Pillow Soft 11" Babipouce Doll (Asian) Here
My daughter loves this doll! It is her favorite lovey, she sleeps with it and enjoys taking care of it. It is perfect sized for an infant to toddler, very soft and cuddly. We've been very impressed with how well it washes. We put it in the washing machine and dryer with her clothes, and the baby doll comes out looking new. We gave this to her for Christmas when she was 6 months old, now at 19 months-she still loves it as much as ever.Want Corolle Babicorolle Pillow Soft 11" Babipouce Doll (Asian) Discount?
I bought this doll for my daughter's first Easter basket when she was 4 months old. She really started playing with it when she was closer to 2, but I love this doll. It's nice to have a doll that actually looks like her, even though she's only a 1/4 Asian, the almond shaped brown eyes and hair color are identical. It's so easy to stick in the washing machine and I've even dried it on low in a delicates bag. And the vanilla scent it so pleasant. Highly recommend this doll.Friday, May 23, 2014

I ended up tossing this in the trash shortly after buying it. The projections were WAY too blurry, I couldn't even tell what they were! Would NOT suggest buying this product.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Select-a-Show Soother Here
Something went really bad with this product. Images are not clear. My daughter loves another similar fisher price projector that shows only two pictures, this one has three pictures, alternating images on the same board, but they are not clear no matter the distance from the wall or ceiling. At least music themes are good.Want Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Select-a-Show Soother Discount?
Pretty nice unit, small and cute. My daughter loves the light and sounds. Ocean noise is great. The only hang up for me is the blurry projections. Is that a giraffe?.... Maybe some kind of orange alien?... DebateableThursday, March 13, 2014
miYim Organic Gift Set
Buy miYim Organic Gift Set Now
My daughter loves this trio. Got it mostly for the teething purpose, good to know a safe, organic cotton ends up in her mouth. The toys have that lovely old fashioned look I just love. The bunny is about 9 inches tall in case someone wonders.My 5 mo old daughter loves the bunny (which as another reader pointed out is small but the perfect size for a baby). The rabbit feels solid & well constructed with a smooth exterior (not fluffy). A bonus the rabbit has a rattle inside too didn't expect that but she doesn't shake it hard enough to rattle it. My daughter wakes up every morning & plays quietly with the bunny until the day begins. ...she's not interested in the duck rattle or lamb.This is a great gift for new parents who want to keep things that come in contact with their baby as organic as possible. I've sent several of these sets along with other miYim products to friends when they have babies and everyone has been pleased with them. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this product again.Tuesday, March 11, 2014

Buy Melissa & Doug Pretty Purse Fill and Spill Now
As previous reviewers have indicated, you cannot dump the contents of this little purse. The opening, although somewhat small, is a fine size for small hands. I didn't feel that the fact you can't dump out the contents detracted from the fun at all. My 16 mos old loves this little purse. She is at the age where she enjoys emptying and refilling containers. Really cute toy, a little pricey, but a sweet gift for a toddler girl.Read Best Reviews of Melissa & Doug Pretty Purse Fill and Spill Here
I got this for my daughter who was 16 months, and she plays with it once in a while, but I would recommend it for a younger child--maybe 9-12 months? It is really cute, and seems durable, like most Melissa & Doug products, but it doesn't hold her interest for long. The sounds and textures would have appealed to her more earlierThe opening is too narrow to fill or spill. My daughter received this as a gift for her 1st birthday, she is 17 months old now. She has tried playing with it a few times, but gets bored quickly, it can't be used as intended. Mommy has a hard time using it too. The only part of this she likes is the phone, she likes to walk around pretending to talk on it. But she'll do that with just about anything, so it's not a great selling point.Tuesday, February 25, 2014

I was expecting these to be soft plastic..something that could easily be cleaned especially since they are for 6 months +. They are actually cardboard. The designs and pictures are nice but any time my 9month old uses them, I will have to be right there with her to stop her from trying to chew them or crush them. Plastic would have been much better as far as clean ability and durability.Read Best Reviews of Kids Preferred Stacking Nesting Blocks, Classic Pooh Here

Fisher-Price Little People Builders Stack 'n Learn Alphabet Blocks
My DS, who just turned two in Aug, had a blast stacking these blocks and they will help with his learning as well. Highly recommend as a first block for babies! They are brightly colored and lightweight for baby to handle.
Buy Fisher-Price Little People Builders Stack 'n Learn Alphabet Blocks Now
My son just received these blocks for Christmas and overall they are nice blocks. He already has some Little People toys and I like the fact that these blocks work with the others. My only complaint is that there are no long blocks in the collection. All my son can do is build stacks of blocks. There are no rectangular blocks to allow for building structures or tunnels or anything but straight towers. They don't really allow for a lot of creativity so I don't understand the purpose of them. Sorry.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Little People Builders Stack 'n Learn Alphabet Blocks Here
We bought this for our 16 month old son. The blocks are durable the only thing is they don't stay together. He can stack the blocks but there is no room for creativity as we thought these blocks would lock together, like Legos. So we mostly have a room filled with scattered blocks.Want Fisher-Price Little People Builders Stack 'n Learn Alphabet Blocks Discount?
I probably should have thought a bit more before getting this product. I saw it, saw letters and different colors, and just thought this would be a good idea. Not so much though. All of these different blocks stack my locking into either the one on top or below it kind of like legos, but some won't click together at all because its too loose of a connection. All of the letter blocks are the same size, so they only stack up. Meaning, you can't use them to try to build any kind of shape or do anything really creative with them. They may be great to work on colors or letters, but that said there are tons of products out there that work on colors and letters. All in all, I would suggest getting actual blocks instead of this.Sunday, February 9, 2014
Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Bat and Wobble Penguin
We have had no problems with this toy. You put in the 80's favorite size of batteries (C, nothing else but the Fisher-Price Open Top Take-Along Swing Rainforest and an old boom box run on C batteries) and it's weighted fine. Maybe it didn't pop up because batteries weren't in there. The batteries add weight to make the whole thing work as intended.
It wasn't hard to blow up. The valve is more "industrial" than most valves, so I agree that it takes more than blowing up a small beach ball, but I see that as added quality and not a knock.
The only issue so far, is that at medium range, our daughter is scared of the blasted thing. Close up, she is fine with it. She "bats" it and no problem. Far away, daddy hits it and she laughs. But at two-ish feet, she screams in bloody murder at the scary attacking penguin with the creepy clown-like "huuuuh-huuuh-huuuh-uh-huh" that it makes when "batted."
And the last thing that is just my two cents, but oh well. There is no real educational value to this toy. It's fun. But really, I see it as beginning self-defense training. It says somewhere on the box that it teaches your kid to "bat." What the heck is "batting" but "hitting?" I'm all about the real toys and sick of this PC stuff, which is why I'll train her to kick the thing in a month from her Johnny Jump-Up. But whatever. I thought I'd just add that.When we got this we assumed that it was like the old style we had when we were younger where you could bat at it and it would fall down and then pop back up. Nope. It would fall down and then just lay there it wouldn't pop back up because of the way the battery compartment was. If you gently tap it with one finger it would wobble, but when my 12 mo old pushed it, it just fell over and did nothing. I had to keep setting it back up. My baby was bored after pushing it over 3 or 4 times. You'd be better off with the older style that doesn't use batteries.

First off, it was difficult to blow up. Then once I had it filled finally...the plug kept popping out. I had to tape it down! The noises it makes are very quiet. And after just a week it started to make an annoying buzzing noise, instead of the intended noises. It was a total waste of time and money.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Go Baby Go!

Our baby took one look at this toy and crawled up on Daddy's head to get away from it. We waited a month and tried again but even at 9 months, the site of the Zombie Penguin as it is now known, was like seeing a clown. Must be the eyes. And the cat can't play with it because the toy falls over when pushed a lays there. I thought it would bounce back up. You can't bat and wobble it cause it just lays there. Tried to give it to a friend but her baby was petrified too. We had to hide him in the closet.Want Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Bat and Wobble Penguin Discount?
I bought this for my 11 month old because it reminded me of the blow up penguin that Sid the Science Kid has. My daughter wasn't scared by it like some, but it is not what I was thinking it would be. The bottom of the toy is hard plastic (where the batteries go) and my daughter has toppled on it multiple times and landed face first on the hard plastic! I don't think this toy is particularly safe for little ones because of this. Also, my daughter likes to pick it up by the tufts and slam it down onto the floor. That is fine for carpet but not so good if you have wood floors.Like another reviewer said, the toy also doesn't pop back up everytime. Sometimes it just stays on it's side.
In summary, if your child is just sitting and not mobile this toy might be okay. If your child can crawl or walk stay away from this toy.

An old favorite! A great toy that toy makers kept to the original design and colors. Our grandson enjoyed it as a pre-holiday treat and went back to it even when the big and more expensive gifts were open.I teach hands-on history and when I wanted to do an activity involving general stores and barrels, I thought of the old stacking barrels toys. I'm using them to show students the various sizes goods were packed in for delivery on ships or wagons. I have some 19th century math problems to company the activity. No stacking involved here just showing sizes of pins, tierces, kinderkins & firkins. Fun stuff.Friday, January 17, 2014

Colorfun Ball Primary
The only complaint that I have is the price, but as much as we have played with this, it has been worth the [price]!We received this ball 11 years ago, when our first son was born--now our third son is four and still loves playing with it, and we're looking forward to handing it down to our new baby when he is born. It's sturdy, soft, has a nice soft chiming sound, and the colors engage the baby's interest. It's been used in so many indoor games, and has held up perfectly. I'm considering buying another one in case my four year old is reluctant to pass it on to his younger sibling! An excellent baby gift for new parents.My daughter (6 months)likes this, it has bright colors and it is soft so she doesn't get hurt while wacking or kicking at it. It has a cute little bell/chime sound which is nice. I did expect this to be bigger though. I would say it is more of a medium ball than a large as described.We recently bought this ball for my son for Christmas. Although I do think he will love the ball, I was disappointed to see that the color names are not on the ball like in the pictures.The current ball being shipped out does not have the words on the ball for each color (as in the customer images). The only picture that accurately represents the ball is the first one. Also, it does not have as long nap as the ones in the "customer images". Comes in a ziplock type bag which is good. Otherwise looks good and I hope it holds up over time.

VTech - Touch & Teach Busy Books
You have to use the "magic bee" to "point" to things in the book, and he couldn't do it yet. Please be aware that you CANNOT just touch things with your finger for it to work, you must use the "magic bee". The "magic bee" is on a little cord that is connected to the book, and it's still hard for him to get it to reach to where he wants sometimes. I will say that it is a relatively fun toy that he'll play with for a little while, but now it has stopped recognizing when we turn the page, so it says the wrong things. I will also warn that the song that it plays when turned on is very annoying! It comes with 4 different books, and my son only really enjoyed 2 of them because they made different noises instead of just saying a shape or color. I called the company for a replacement since it has already stopped working and they wanted me to pay for the shipping of the toy to them so I didn't go for it. It's not that great! He loves to play with his LeapPad which is similar, but you can use your finger and there are many more options with that toy.

Horrible product. I agree with everything on the one star reviews. Don't waste your money. If I had a choice it would get 0 stars.* Difficult to push down.
*Magnetic bee doesn't work most of the time.
*String is too short to reach all the way across.
*Storage compartment in the back opens too easily and the books fall out.
*Way too frustrating for an adult forget about a child....tantrum city.
*WHY ANYONE GAVE IT 5 STARS IS BEYOND ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My VTech Touch & Teach Busy Books arrived about 4 and a half weeks after I ordered them, which was great! They were exactly as discribed on the Cheapees Store. It works perfectly and also came with batteries. All of my 3 children love it. It made a great present for my young son, who loves reading and thinks the sounds and music on the Busy Books are great too.I did not find them incredibly educational or beneficial. The children like the toy for a while and then grew bored with it. I wouldn't buy it again.
