Fisher Price Nesting Action Vehicles
Buy Fisher Price Nesting Action Vehicles Now
I recently bought this toy set for my 15 month-old grandson, and he just loves playing with it, in so many different ways. He loves to roll them around and especially likes snapping the fire truck's ladder up and down. He thinks it's great when I put them all together, then gradually remove each car, revealing the slightly smaller one nested inside. He also loves it when I stack them on top of one another, then he knocks them down.He is having a wonderful time trying to figure out how to nest them and stack them himself. They even hold up well to his favorite thing to do with most everything--pounding! I'm sure he'll find many more ways to play with them before long! I certainly think they're worth the small amount I paid for them.

I bought these for my 1 1/2 year old, and he loves them (and so does his 5-year old brother). They both stack the cars, hide them and "vrroomm" them. It is great to find a toy that doesn't need batteries or require an engineering degree to put together!Highly recommended.My son loves this stacking toy. It is much more fun than the stackable rings toy even though he does have that one too. All the boys at our baby group have it and the babies who don't always come up to see what it is all about! You can't go wrong with this purchase.

I didnt get this off Amazon, but my mom got one for my 3.5 month old for Christmas and she is OBSESSED with it. I can put it on her belly, hang it from her car seat, her stroller, her high chair, her bouncy seat, everything! Depending on how you wrap it you can show all different stimulatory textures and effects. She likes the feeling of the different fabrics, and she is always chewing on the crinkly ears and hard nose of the dog. I highly recommend this toy.Read Best Reviews of Deglingos Crib and Car Seat Activity Spiral Here

Doll Pram In Natural
Vesper plays with it every day. She sits in it and "reads" her books; she pushes it around with her toys in it; she uses it to leverage herself onto higher planes (yikes!); and I'm sure she'll find other uses for it as she grows.
I am very happy with the purchase because it is natural wood, easy to clean, quiet, and will not fall apart. It is also sturdy enough for our child to climb in and out without tipping (though it has tipped when she's bounced her weight on the handle that's something to watch for).
I wish that it hadn't been so expensive, but if it lasts through this and perhaps other children, then I'm ok with that.What a disappointment, especially because we ordered this for our daughter's birthday and we have to send it back because of the alarmingly poor quality. We decided to spend more on a HABA doll stroller so we would be assured of a non-toxic and high quality product. What we received was a stroller which had EXTREMELY wobbly wheels that feel like they are going to fall off at any moment. We looked for a way to tighten them, could not find any. Are they all like this? I hope not, perhaps this is a fluke, but I wanted to have this review up for others so they might think twice about placing trust in this "Made in Germany" product, which was a huge selling point for us. Other than the wheels, which are a huge problem, there is the problem of how it was advertised: "classic beechwood doll pram" and it actually is beech PLYWOOD, which I think they should state clearly.We bought this stroller 3 years ago for our 1 yr old daughter's birthday. My daughter and son, who is 18 months older, have used the stroller on a daily basis for the last three years. My daughter is now 4 and my son 5. The stroller is used indoor and outdoors. My kids have easily pushed each other in it. When my 50 lb son is in the stroller, my daughter can't push him around corners on the carpet anymore because the the rubber has come off the wheels due to the weight. The rubber easily was put back on and the stroller has been doing fine. The stroller has been a space ship, a rocket launching pad, a doll buggy, a shipping cart, a race car (with or without a child in it), and an all around great toy. It has survived going down a slide at a park and accidental crashes into the wall. There are a few scratches, the rubber is still on the wheels and works great and has withstood the test of 2 children playing with all the time. I highly recommend this stroller and am going to buy it for my niece when she turns 1...despite the price.

Sturdy little carriage is fun and very well made. I think it's a very fair price for a toy that you know will last for many YEARS!Want Doll Pram In Natural Discount?
I think everything is in the title!This is a very nice cart for your toddler to walk with his/her favorite toys around the house. It's quite well balanced and is not too bad on the safety side which is not always the case (cheap ones are too light and not stable enough).

I got this as a gift when my baby boy was born. I love it! The songs and rhymes are both soothing and attention grabbing. He loves watching the lights and now he is batting at the big buttons.Read Best Reviews of Discovery Exclusive Phil Harmonic Audio Developer Here
It seems like a great toy, and it does deliver with lights, sounds, and nice renditions of kids songs. It has a nice concept of growing with your child, too, offering new functionalities based on age.Unfortunately, where it falls very short is the repetitive voice that says to press a button. Most other electronic toys have an automatic shut off, rather than use a voice to remind you to push a button over and over again. It's unfortunate, but it's a significant design flaw that's annoying to parents and kids. Ours is gathering dust.
For its high price, I cannot recommend this item.

I was into this toy more than my kids. I like the music selections for Stage 1. They are so soothing. Neither of my kids got into the games for the older stages (6-18 mo.). However my nephew who is 6 enjoys the older stage games where they build songs with silly sounds.Wednesday, December 25, 2013
Enesco Sweet 12" Dolly
Dolly has been through the wash several times, and has held up wonderfully! Her dress has some pilling from washing, but I guess you gotta expect that, but she is perfect otherwise. We have bought a back up Dolly, as we would be in big trouble if we ever lost Dolly. In fact, she had back up Dolly when I was washing the original and she had a fit when she saw me put Dolly in the washer, so she carried around both.
Dolly also is all fabric and very soft (as are all Baby Gunds) so is the perfect first doll for any little girl. No hard plastic features. And Dolly is very cute too. Highly recommended. I bought this for my new baby grand daughter. She is a thumb sucker and it is easy for her to hold while she is soothing herself with her thumb. It is so easy to toss in the laundry and comes out like new.

I received "Dolly" for my baby shower...my daughter started sleeping with it every night when she was 3 months old. I bought 2 more "back up dollys" in case we lost one or one was in the laundry. My daughter had reflux when she was an infant so, needless to say, Dolly got washed quite frequently. When one dolly was in the wash I would pull out a "back up dolly"...my plan worked great until one day when she was 3 years old, she realized there was more than one Dolly! She then wanted all three of them. Well...my daughter is now 8 years old and STILL sleeps with ALL three every night. One as a pillow and two tucked under her side. After EIGHT years of love, baby accidents, milk spills, washing machines and dryers....Dolly(s) is still going strong! They are a bit 'loved' looking, but always perk up after their weekly run through the laundry. I have never had to mend any of them...they are FANTASTIC! I think I'm going to buy a new one just so she can see what Dolly used to look like in her younger days ; ). I would definitely give this Dolly my Mommy stamp of approval.Want Enesco Sweet 12" Dolly Discount?
This was for my first grandchild and I wanted to make her first doll special. I had looked at many dolls at stores and on the internet, but had not found quite what I was looking for. When I saw the Sweet Dolly, the description (super soft), other reviews, and especially that it was washable I knew this was the one.I was rewarded for my choice when my granddaughter grabbed for it as her parents were leaving for a couple of hours. She did not let it go the whole time we were walking and playing to pass the time.
I would highly recommend this doll to anyone looking for a first doll. I am seriously considering buying another one to stay at our house for when she comes to visit.

green sprouts Organic Velour Finger Puppet 3pc Set
Buy green sprouts Organic Velour Finger Puppet 3pc Set Now
These finger puppets are very cute and keep baby amused. They are safe enough to let baby hold also. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because they are actually too loose on all of my fingers. They fall off of my fingers quite often when playing with baby. It would be nicer if they were made of stretch material so they fit more snuggly.Read Best Reviews of green sprouts Organic Velour Finger Puppet 3pc Set Here
I searched high and low for safe finger puppets and I'm so happy I found these. I purchased this adorable set for my granddaughter when she was 10 months. They are soft and safe for chewing unlike other finger puppets that may have small parts. She became fond of them holding one in each hand while she crawled around pausing once in a while and staring at their little faces. They are washed everyday and still holding up. She is 13 months now and these puppets are still a favorite and grandma is ready to get her next set. I can't wait to see her face!Want green sprouts Organic Velour Finger Puppet 3pc Set Discount?
My baby is more intereted in chewing these than anything else. I think I enjoy the cuteness of the animals more than she does. Maybe she'll have more fun playing with them once she's older and can understand what they're actually supposed to be (she was only 4 months when I got them). They're perfect size for her little hands to hold on to. Glad they're organic since they mainly go in her mouth; very cute!Wednesday, November 13, 2013

Kids Preferred The World of Eric Carle The Very Hungry Caterpillar Toy
I was rather pleasantly surprised when we received ours to find that the noise made when the caterpillar pops up isn't loud at all. It's the quietest jack-in-the-box toy I've ever seen really. So it's good for small kids. I don't think it would frighten them like other loud ones might.
It plays the traditional song all of these play. Of course it is extremely cute too. It matches our baby's nursery theme which is why I purchased it.
Just a word of advice watch the price on this one. I noticed it tends to fluctuate between $15 all the way up to $24.99.We love this toy. It is well made and very reminiscent of the caterpillar in the book (that was the main reason we got it... if it hadn't looked this great we'd have passed it by). almost all pull toys these days have strings that are way too short (laibility issues... sigh). we have several pull toys with too short strings. we just tie a longer string on and it works fine.

This classic Jack-in-the-Box is very well made. Gave it to my granddaughter for her first birthday and we all love it. The Hungry Caterpillar is one of her favorite books. I do find that she has little patience waiting for the music to get to the point where the caterpillar pops up so it might be better for a slightly older child. But she does love it.Read Best Reviews of Kids Preferred The World of Eric Carle The Very Hungry Caterpillar Toy Here
My son got this as a gift for his 1st birthday. I'm a big fan of the Very Hungry Caterpillar and pull toys are classic, so I thought this would be great.However I am disappointed with this toy. I didn't realize that each wooden segment of the body would rotate. There is elastic that runs through the body that allows it to do so. This makes it useless as a pull toy. If my son bumps it or it falls over or if he just plays with it it makes the body segments rotate into a position that doesn't allow it to roll along. It also falls over way too easily and then my son can't fix it. I think it would work much better if I glued the body together but that's one of those things I've been meaning to do and never got around to.
Yes, the string is too short. So it's not a strangulation hazard. It is however easy to add your own longer string. The short string has a break-away clip and I unclipped the part that the child holds. Then I threaded in a longer string and clipped it back onto the toy. Now that it is long enough to pull, my son is having fun with it this morning. He's now 22 months. Fun until it falls over and twists and he needs help to stand it up again.
So, this toy looks cute on a shelf, but it's not great to actually play with.

Winnie The Pooh Deluxe 2-Sided Plush Jumpsuit Costume
I did have a problem dressing the "head". The way to dress it is to leave the head in the front, and then pull it back, wasn't convenient at all. It was also difficult to take the costume off for the same reason. You need to leave the head in the front and only then you can take the baby out of the costume. Once it's on, that's ok. Good for couple of time use, or maybe for older kids. My daughter didn't like the dressing process. Once it was on, she didn't mind. Oh, we also had a problem closing the zipper to the end, as it is located in the back and so her hair was caught in it. We ended up just leaving it opened.
Also, keep in mind that it is very warm inside the costume, so it is very good for the winter but you would need to take it off inside where the heat is on. My 9-month-old son didn't even mind putting this costume on because it was so soft and plush! The tummy is so cute because it sticks out just perfectly, unlike others I have seen! It was completely adorable on him and he didn't even mind the head part.
The only down fall of this costume was the way it is to be put on and off. It is very awkward and I even worried about the positioning I had to have my son in to do this. He definately didn't like that part!

I bought this costume for my 14 month old. I decided to get 12-18 month size, since she wears anywhere from 12-24 month clothes. When I received it i tried it on her. First it was a little awkward since the zipper is in the back (I bought the piglet costume for a friend, and that zipper was in front). I know it's because the costume has a cute belly, but it really interfered with the head. Once it's on, it's really hard to bring the head over like a hoody. But we were able to do it, and thought it was so cute. The real problem came, however, when we tried to take the costume off. Trying to get the hoody back over her head was really tough and my little girl got really upset because we had to force it. I almost decided to cut out the zipper right then and there to get her out of it. Anyway, maybe I should've gotten a bigger size -but the legs, arms and everything once it was on fit perfectly. In the end I had my mom take out the zipper and put in velcro, and we slit the hoody head and put in some extra fabric. It was a lot of work for a costume that already cost $40+.Read Best Reviews of Winnie The Pooh Deluxe 2-Sided Plush Jumpsuit Costume Here

VTech - 2-in-1 Discovery Table
Being that I have both purchased and received these types of educational toys made by Fisher Price and Little Tikes, I had reservations about the assembly process. All those teeny tiny screws and such are NOT the business. Well, V-Tech ensured I didnt have that problem at all.
The product has SIX pieces to assemble together and none of them are small. The pieces consist of the two teddy bear shaped leg stands, the educational table/counter, an orange pencil cup and two big, long red screws. To assemble, you simply put the table between the two legs and insert a red screw through the applicable hole and tighten with your hand. No hard labor, no screwdrivers required.
Fun wise, the table is great. The colored piano keys play music and teach colors and numbers. The table's colored gears and clock (both are pre-assembled) play music when theyre rotated. The book in the middle both plays music and changes the table's learning mode. The table also easily rotates to be used as an activity table for a child to draw or write or whatever. The pencil cup is the lone accessory that is used on both sides of the table and is easily secured and removed.
Best of all, the table will automatically shut itself off after it has been idle for a time. I am sure it has some drain on the battery, but I havent had an issue in over a month of use.
This activity play center has actually sold me on the V-Tech product line and both my daughter and I love it.My son is fifteen months old and he loves this toy. Right now, he is more interested in the side with the clock, ruler, book, and gears than the drawing side. As he gets older, though, the drawing side will become more popular. This is a toy that will really grow with him. It is also educational: it teaches numbers, colors, alphabet, etc.

My 14 month old is very easily entertained with just about anything, but the toys we buy her. Since she is on the verge of walking and seems to have no interest in her step and play piano, I decided to order this. She actually goes over to it daily, which is more then I can say for about the other 95% of her toys. Does she stand at it for a long time? Nope, but she doesn't do that with anything. Her favorite part of the this table, of course, is the pencil cup which she flings all over the living room. Our dog has a fun time trying to catch it too. I really wish that cup was attached. I'm not too sure why they didn't attach it bc it is annyoing to have to have another item yet to pick up off the floor. The toy does move around if you have wood floors. If I don't push it against the wall, she will use it as a walker too and push the table around the entire house. It's sturdy and I've had no problems with the legs wobbling. I like that it's small too. Amazon had the best price for it that I found.Read Best Reviews of VTech - 2-in-1 Discovery Table Here
I bought this as a second play table for my son to have at his Grandmothers house where he spends 2 days a week. I love that you can flip the table over and have a surface for coloring! It's not the "sturdiest" of toys so it does need to be up against something or it just slides across the floor and my son can't pull up on it, it's a little wobbly side to side but not a big problem if it's up against something. He loves playing with it and it has a lot of different songs, sounds and words so it doesn't get so repetitive you beg him to stop playing with it!Overall I would highly recommend this toy.I bought this toy for my son when he was 8 months old and he loved it. He started crawling n try to stand up with different things so I bought this table. He use to stand with it like for hours and enjoys different things on its top. The only thing which I don't like about this toy is its light weight. Because my son couldn't stand on his own so he put all his weight over it and this toy slipped forward
