Gund Boo- World's Cutest Dog from Gund 9 IN
The actual product is design so it would stand upright all the time and does not sit. Also, the mouth is rounder instead of stretched out as if it were smiling. I didn't notice though until I came back to write a review. Great product though, couldn't be happier.Boo is truly the cutest dog in the world and my niece loves him exponentially! She has to have this toy dog with her whenever she goes to sleep at night and she takes him everywhere she goes with his head sticking out of her pocketbook! One thing is that it looks so real that people actually think it is going to bark...

boo is so soft, cuddly, and cute! it looks exactly like the real boo, well, maybe not exactly, but it's very closeRead Best Reviews of Gund Boo- World's Cutest Dog from Gund 9 IN Here
We love the worlds most popular dog and now have our version. Wife Loved it! A nice gift for the "Boo" fan out there. If your not his friend on Facebook, you must not be on Facebook possibly. Peace and Love!I all along love GUND's products because their bears are very soft and cuddly. However, it does not really look like Boo the latest mini version of Boo looked very cute. But it is still a collectible for those Boo fans.Friday, July 4, 2014
RockAbye Raffi Giraffe Rocker -Kids
The giraffe also plays four different types of music. I personally find the music quite annoying but my son likes it. My son could quickly recognize that you push the bright colored shapes to make the music play, but he can't push hard enough. He has other toys that you push shapes to make music and he doesn't have a problem with those. Even I have trouble sometimes pushing for the music to play, because the internal buttons don't necessarily line up extremely well with the shapes. So, that is a bit of a bummer.
My son really likes holding onto the giraffe's antlers too and loves the crinkly sound the mane makes when he touches it.
Overall, a cute toy!

I absolutely love this rocker. While it is expensive for a baby toy my son adores it and it is made well enough to be passed down. I have no idea how children are managing to tip these forward or backward so that they topple! My son is 6 months old and about 18lbs and rocks it pretty hard, and it has never been close to flipping all the way forward. Perhaps this is more of an issue with heavier children in which case there should be a limit in the description.My son LOVES the music, as annoying as it may be to me (isn't this true of many kid's tunes?), so that is worth it. We love our rocker and will be getting them for gifts for others!

We purchased this rocker for our 10 month old for Christmas. It is very stable, has a wide seating area, and is very soft. It is also low to the ground which makes it easier for her to try to pull up on it. The musical songs are great, my only complant is that it's hard to understand what they are singing in a few spots. The songs turn off when the button is pushed a second time, which is great when it's accidentally pressed. Overall a great toy.Beautifully made, delivered early, and a favorite of my Grandson's first birthday. So glad that a friend from church suggested it as her son LOVED his pirate ship he got at Christmas.Monday, May 12, 2014

Munchkin Soft Animal Stackers Toy
Buy Munchkin Soft Animal Stackers Toy Now
The stacker is cute, but overpriced. I think the reason they charge so much is that the penguin head has sound... that's right, sound. When the head goes onto the top of the stack it seems like it is supposed to then giggle, unfortuantely, it giggles more often when the head is detached. Basically it is a strange laughing disembodied head.Despite that, it also seems to have an issue being stacked as the center for the stacker is nothing but a fabric rod, it doesn't balance on it's own and if the bottom ring is off (as it is not attached) it doesn't stand. This makes it very difficult to actually use as a stacker. It's great as a small pile of fabric donuts, but that's about it. My daughter was 6 months when I got this, and she didn't terribly enjoy it then, she still barely touches the thing, preferring almost any other toy (or non-toy).
It's certainly not worth the cost. The only reason I gave it 2 stars and not one, is that the quality of the item is good. So, if you are looking for something sturdy for your child to teethe on, it might work out, but as an actual stacker it's really not worth anything.This toy is adorable. I purchased it because my daughter has been intrigued with penquins since she was small. Now I have the opportunity to share this with my grandchild. The fabric is incredibly soft, and the rings have a lot of interest. further, they can be put on in any order until the child learns size differences. I especially liked the save the penquins words embroidered on the bottom ring. I know this will be a favorite toy at christmas.This is a nice toy. Very pretty pingvin had. My granddaughter 18 months like this toy. She play with it when she see it. Now days kids have a lot of toys and do not know which to take for play. But when you pay kid attenetion to direct toy, they gbab it and play in a while. Good toy, I am happy I have it.

One of the zebras legs has two rings and my 4 month olds' little hand/wrist gets caught between them frequently which hurts him a bit and cries. My husband decided to cut one of the rings off to stop the problem. Other than that my son loves it (:Read Best Reviews of Bright Starts Start Your Senses Sensory Plush Pals Here

Fisher-Price Little People Nativity
Buy Fisher-Price Little People Nativity Now
I got my set at Target in 2011. Since then I have realized that there are a lot of sets and varations out there. Some stores get some sets (the one I bought was a "target exclusive") and other stores get other sets. Fisher-Price keeps the best sets as their on-line exclusives.My set takes no batteries and sings no songs and the are no lights or sound effects. I actually prefer it to the sets I have seen with more bells and whistles. It is a nice simple toy she can play with and we do not have to worry about the batteries or her pressing buttons too hard or anything like that. I do wish I could have gotten a single little shepard since I do have a sheep in the manger and I wish someone was there to watch out for him.
Last year my kid crawled over to it and sucked on the pieces and seemed to throw St. Joeseph the most. This year she is big into dolls so she spent a lot of time picking up Jesus and hugging him and kissing him and pointing out to me that he was "a baby. look a baby". she also enjoyed the Angel a lot since it was neither man nor bird. That is something we can work on for next year. She liked to make sure he was squarley ontop of the manger at all times and I have to admit I kept teasing her by switching him out with the animals or other figureines. she always put him right back and usually told me "no !".
All in all, I'd say to shop around and see what level of set you need and how many figures you must have or can live without and then do some research. Amazon sells all these sets but as many are from resellers and third parties, the prices and the componants will vary greatly.

I purchased this nativity set for all four households with grandkids for CHRISTmas 2011. I was happy to find a supplemental "shepard and sheep set" since that wasn't included in this set. The grandkids are all happy (moms and dads too!) but I just recieved the Fisher Price catalog and they have retooled the entire set. Now it makes sounds and plays "Away in the Manger" and "Silent Night." The manger glows. The angel spins on a track on the roof. But it has fewer characters...the wise men are absent....but they didn't come with tents in the first set anyway. You still have to buy the wise men set and the shepard set if you want it to be "complete." That ups the price by at least $30.Not sure how I feel about this since it was close to $175 to outfit four households with the "old" set plus the "shepard set." Personally, I think the older one may be better, more durable. As we "antique moms" know....the bells and whistles eventually break so maybe the absence of them on the older set was a good thing. When it comes down to it....as long as the kids learn the story and have creative play then it doesn't really matter. In this case newer may not be better....or cheaper.
PS: If you want the supplemental sets do your research. I found them for half the price outside of Amazon.
PPS: Also, for unclear reasons, my son'd dachshund LOVES to chew on any of my granddaughter's Little People characters. Not sure why but you may want to be cautious until you can determine if your dog finds them irresistable too.I bought three of these-one for my family and two for gifts. Everyone who has received them has loved them and the kids love being able to play with the nativity sets rather than just look at the fancy ones that we al have on our mantles and shelves.

Green Toys Sand Play Set
You will not be disappointed with this set, based on it construction, if you don't lose a piece or two. It will last you for a long, long time.
UPDATE 5/2010
Just wanted to update this review. My girls are 3 years older and so is their play set. They are scratched up like any producted used in sand. BUT the color has not faded and NOT one crack any where. Even the rope used for the bucket is good to go. Now we left them out two winters and garaged the other one. BUT if not for the scratches the look good as new.I'd been waiting for this product to become available for some time. The product was more than I could have hoped for...no cheesy handle, instead it has a strong rope. It is very durable and, best of all, all three of our grandchildren love playing on the beach building sand castles. In fact, that have requested a couple more sets.

I bought these for my 3-year old and 17-month old to use in our backyard sandbox. I was so excited to find something that wasn't the usual primary-colored shiny plastic. This set is gorgeous, the pail has a strong and cool-looking rope handle. Our girls play with this every day. It was a great purchase. Not the sort of outside toy that you throw away at the end of the season, it's just so durable.Read Best Reviews of Green Toys Sand Play Set Here
This Sand Play Set from Green toys is definitely a Diamond in the Rough. It is nothing like the cheap plastic sets that will bend and disappoint. It is made from strong recycled plastic, that is BPA free, and is tough and sturdy for child's play. We bought two one for each of our toddlers and they love them. It is recommended for children ages 3 and above but our 2 year old plays with it just fine (just watch younger children who may poke eyes with the rake, or want to put it in their mouths though its safe).PROS
1. Eco friendly and safe for young children and is made in the USA.
2. The beach bucket has a strong rope handle, (so no bending or breaking away from the bucket like plastic ones do)
3. Durable and quite stylish
CONS
1. Pricey (but you can save a few bucks by buying it here on Amazon, which is much cheaper than other retailers and toy stores).
OVERALL
Worth every penny and will last a lifetime.I ordered this online after buying the Green Toys cookware set, and was just as pleased with this as I was the cookware. Very durable, nice colors, great thick rope handle on the bucket. Outshines any flimsy sand play set you might find in a toy store. My 17 month old son plays with it in our backyard sandbox and I look forward to taking it with us to the beach this summer. I look forward to seeing what other toys this company produces.

I recently purchased this toy for my 8 month old son. He has other Melissa & Doug toys that he loves and I was very excited to give him this new toy. When it arrived I was very pleased with the design, bright colors and I was sure he would love it. The first time I gave it to him he was thrilled!!! He loved holding it by the neck and the tail, swinging it around and putting the feet in his mouth. I was very pleased with my purchase and knew that he would get lots of use out of it. Then to my horror I realized that his mouth was full of paint chips!!! He has put the feet in his mouth a couple of times for under a minute total, but that was enough to soften the paint and cause it to start chipping. After taking it away from him I closely examined the toy and discovered that I could remove large chunks by rubbing my fingernail lightly over the surface. I immediately returned the toy for a refund. When packaging this item for return I also realized that the package states that this toy is for 1+ years. The Amazon listing states that it is for 6 months and up. Over all I would not recommend this toy for any young child due to the paint issue, otherwise it would be 5 stars.this toy is ok. bigger then i expected and the colors are not as bright (it actually is only painted on front/ backnot edges). it is solid construction and my child loves to chew on it. the problem is that his fingers get pinched in the bends all the time! i thought it was just himbeing that he is 6 mos but my niece is 13 mos and the same thing happens to her. i would say this toy is meant for preschoolersdefinitely not babies!Tuesday, February 4, 2014

That smart little two year old grandbaby loves her Leap Pad, but had diffuculty carrying it, so the Little Touch Carry Case is perfect for her. Now she can bring her Leap Pad, as well as extra books, and even a bottled water in the holder to my house. She loves it!I find this tote very functional as long as you use it as a carrier or tote. You will be very disappointed if you are purchasing this for storage if you want storage I recommend you buy the LeapPad Storage Organizer (it comes in blue & pink). I use this tote to carry my daughter's Little Touch books and cartridges to our friends and family houses. I usually carry 4 books and the accompany cartridges 2 in each front pocket. I have no problem getting her system in the bag and I have spare room for more books and cartridges in this section. I use the extra space when we go on long family road trips. I put 4 extra books in this section and that gives me a total of 8 books and cartridges that I can get into the bag. I am very pleased with the bag it has met all my expectations!Wednesday, November 27, 2013

This is a good size. Its perfect to hang on the end of a baby crib, give it a pull before you leave the room. This is very soft and has some stuffing in it as well, so not only can it hang, perfect for the baby to snuggle. It's a cute looking animal too, pretty shade and a sweet face.The music is clear and not too loud. Fabric is soft and not itchy. It is a bit larger than I thought it would be. The picture of the product shows it's full length when the string is pulled and let go to play. after it is done playing, the bottom stripped section disappears. Also the frog is very girthy. Over all this is a great item. I just wished I knew how big it was before I bought it.
