I really love this wolf, i play with it almost daily, it is very durable, it looks exactly like it does in the picture. I really love this product, because its more realistic than the other ones, and is still somehow cute and loveable! I love my wolf

Grimm's Waterwaves

Beautiful pieces made safely in Germany with water-based dyes. Great for exploration. My 2 year old uses them to rock his animals to sleep, swim, and drink. He builds with them on their own, with the Grimm rainbow, other block sets, and inserts them into puzzle play.

And that was just this morning!

This toy is really pretty and very appealing to my 1 year-old daughter. She loves the feel of the wood and the bright colors and she plays with it often.

B. Hellophone - Chocolate/Solid

Your baby is not going to be happy with a toy phone that obviously looks like a toy. This is the most realistic looking toy phone out there. We had to return the first one that we bought at a brick and mortar because it stopped after a few days.This is probably because of all of the customers "testing" it. The brick and mortar was out of stock so we ordered from Amazon for a few dollars more. The second phone is still working great after a month.You can record your own message to the baby and then lock it so she is less likely to accidentally erase it. It comes with several other messages and will "call" the baby by ringing a few seconds after it is closed. It has two short tunes that I wish were a bit longer. Even if this one would have died quickly we would have kept it for looks alone.

I love this purchase. My daughter has finally stopped trying to take my cell phone now. What a great idea.

From the moment our 16 month old saw it, she loved it. Everytime she sees it she smiles and giggles, sits on the floor with it and starts to push the buttons. When she gets music she sways along with it. It is just so cute to watch and it makes us all laugh. I highly recommend this little phone. Just the right size for tiny hands and thick enough for them to get a good grip on it.

LEGO DUPLO 6759 Busy Farm

My daughter got this for her 3rd birthday, and she loves it! Each page has 4 lines of text for the parent to read, and then says, for example, "Let's build Bright-eyed Rooster. What does he say?" The pages each have a detailed illustration of the storyline plus a picture of the blocks used to make each animal. My favorite thing about the book is that the pictures of the blocks are printed to scale. This helps my daughter because she is able to find each block, put it on top of the corresponding picture, and then push the pieces together. The illustrations and the text are good, but certainly not remarkable. If not for the interactive piece

(putting together the lego animals), I don't think it would hold my daughter's attention, much less mine. With the lego-building activities, however, it is brilliant. The way that the reading and hands-on tasks are interspersed is perfect for keeping a young child's attention.

One other thing worth commenting on is the packaging: it comes in a clear plastic resealable bin. I am so happy they decided to package it that way. Otherwise it would be impossible to keep all the pieces together. If your child has other Legos, you will probably want to make sure these pieces don't get mixed in with the others. It would take away all the fun if you had to search for pieces each time you read the book.

I bought this for my newly 3 year old grandson. He can read quite well, but I read it to him, as he was too interested in building the toys to be bothered. The building "instructions" were very easy to follow, but he loved having them to follow. After a few tries, he was able to build the animals without the instructions, but he just liked looking at them. I think this is a great, durable toy because not only is there reading available but also small motor control manipulation, following instructions, and other good stuff. I wish it were priced at about $10 but anything Lego is expensive.

I love these little sets as gift ideas for young children! I adore the combination of a board book with DUPLO bricks! The book is very cute, and my kids thoroughly enjoyed building the different animals, as did their friends (we received sets to try out through House Party). My one critique is that the set shows a person, but does not include any people. I think the addition of a farmer would really complete the set, and make it even more interesting to young children.

Read Best Reviews of LEGO DUPLO 6759 Busy Farm Here

I bought this when I daughter was about 4 months old. My husband and I are big Lego fans and wanted to make sure we give our daughter the same experience.

With my daughter learning to grasp, she gains sensory and motor skills. Reading the book to her, encourages language skills. Building the animals will aid with problem solving skills in her future. We can also practice color recognition and animal recognition. I also always throw in a few rounds of "Old MacDonald" to extend the fun and learning opportunities. It's a great learning tool all around.

This is a nice little set to have for young children to introduce them Legos. And the younger they are when you give it to them, the more use they will get out of it.

Gund Fuzzy Frog 13.5" Plush

Gund always gets it right. This frog is so soft and cuddly. Bought it to go with the Sandra Boynton book, Happy Birthday Pookie (because he gets a fuzzy froggy for his birthday) for a birthday present and couldn't be happier.

My husband picked up a Fuzzy the Frog a couple of months ago for our then 9 month old daughter. She is now 11 months old and takes Fuzzy everywhere with her, sharing his cuddles with all her fiends and family. I was worried about her losing him and resulting devastation so I ordered 2 'spares' just in case! The price was very reasonable and I now have peace of mind that Fuzzy is safe

Soothing Sounds Chimes

My son absolutely loves this toy. The chime sound is so soothing. I love it too. He loves to move it and get the chime to sound, plus the little beads inside the toy are fun to watch. The only draw back is that it is hard plastic, so if your child is still unable to control it they might hit themselves with it. It doesn't weigh that much, and as fast as they grow they'll be able to control it soon.

Enjoy!

Fisher-Price Rock-A-Stack - Pink

Fisher Price always makes cool toys. I had one of these when I was a baby and enjoyed playing with it. My daughter's nursery is decorated in pink and I'll admit that was the prevailing reason for purchasing this particular item. Still great.

These stackable rings are similar to the other stackable rings by Fisher Price. My daughter loves them because the top one has little beads in it to make a rattle sound when she shakes it. I love it because it is girlie colors! It's worth the money to have a toy that is cute and my daughter loves.

My daughter is almost six months old and LOVES this toy! The top ring has a couple of beads in it or something that makes it rattle, which makes it even more fun for her. She is constantly knocking it over, pulling the rings off, and playing with each part of the toy. I highly recommend this!

Enesco Big Brother 7" Photo Album

My three year old son received this photo album as a gift after his little sister was born. He loved picking out which photos to use, placing them and rearranging them in the album, and (most of all) showing off his pictures to guests that would visit us.

It's a nice way for a new big brother to be included and feel proud.

The soft cover also makes this product very durable.

This is a good product for children. They can play with the pictures and keep them in good shape.

Vulli Sophie Giraffe Bath Toy

I'd give this 0 stars if I could.

Sophie the Giraffe is safe for babies to chew on because it's made of natural rubber, and that's the company's claim to fame. THIS TOY IS NOT RUBBER!

I could tell immediately out of the box. A quick internet search turned up disturbing evidence that it might be made of PVC. Hello?!? Considering they're marketing it as age-appropriate for 6 months and older, and that it looks so much like the safe giraffe, I would assume any baby would naturally chew on it. Bad news for baby-and shame on the company.

We're returning it and not buying from Vulli again.

Not a bad bath toy at all....just know what you are buying in

comparison to the regular Sophie teether.

The bath toy:

-Half the size

-The legs are all one piece instead of 4 individual pieces

-The ring does not come off

-The material is not as soft or flexible

-Does not make any noise when you squeeze it

-Even when not used as a squirt toy, water will get in and have to get squeezed out regularly

My 5 month old son does like this toy though he gets a little frustrated after a while cause it isn't really a teether and he's used to being able to get one of Sophies legs into his mouth. I'm sure he'll like it even more once he's able to use it as a squirter which is what it actually is. All in all, it is still a good quality toy that I trust and would recommend it to others.

UPDATE MARCH 2011:

So, in trying to get the water out after a bath the other night, I squeezed Sophie's head and caused a slight tear around her mouth. Didn't think it was possible based on what I thought was great quality. I wont completely blame Sophie since It was actually me doing the squeezing but still. Oh well, we'll continue to use as is.

I bought this for my 8 mos. old daughter because I thought it was just too cute. I almost like it better than the original Sophie. My daughter really likes it and it's good for the bath. I also think it's a little easier for her to hold onto than the orginal, and I like how it bops along in the water.

I got no stink from the box when I took her out and per the Vulli website it looks like she like the original is phlatalate free,

My daughter has the original Sophie the Giraffe for teething and loved it so I thought this would be a great purchase to use in the tub. The toy is not made out of the same material as the original Sophie and is super hard. It is also very difficult to get the water out of the toy once it gets inside. I recommend sticking to the original toy and don't waste your money on this one.

I am disappointed in this product and this is why:

It is not made of natural rubber.

I have to squeeze really hard to get water to squirt out ( looks like I'm killing the giraffe)

it's not weighted, so the giraffe floats sideways ( dead giraffe in water!)

Total bummer!

Tolo Toys Rainbow Stackers

I bought these for my 22-month old daughter. I should have ordered these for her a long time ago, I think any baby 6 months or over would love these. They are VERY durable, heavy plastic. They are different colors with different designs on top and different shapes on the bottom. When my 22-month old got these, I thought she might be too old for them, but she loves them! She also likes to put other toys inside, etc. Toys R Us had no stackers and I had looked places, I think stackers in general are hard to find, I'm so glad I found these.

We bought these stacking cups to take to China for our adoption, because they are very compact when nested. Our new son , loves stacking them, and concentrates very hard on which ones fit together. The colors are great, and our kids can play with them in the tub. The only drawback is that there isn't any versatility. The cups stack in a particular order, and that is it. They are probably more educational than fun, since there are different geometric shapes on the bottoms of each cup, and different colored patterns on the rims.

Buy Tolo Toys Rainbow Stackers Now

I bought these before my daughter was born and gave it to her when she was five month old. She start playing with them immediately and she is still playing with them (she is 10 month now). I stack them for her to take them apart, put small things in each one for her to take out. They also make perfect bath time toys your baby will be busy picking them up and sunk them in water. It is the cheapest thing I bought so far and she keeps having fun with them.

I can't believe that my one year old can spend so much time playing with cups! He will stack them and nest them. You can hide things under them or use them in the tub. It is a pre math skill. They are easy to transport and very good quality. I great gift for a young toddler. My only complaint was that they were so hard to find. The only place I could find a good quality product was online.

Want Tolo Toys Rainbow Stackers Discount?

Stacking cups are my boys favorite toys. We bought 2 types, this one and some with holes in them to let water drain out.

My complaint with both types is if you lose a cup, they become rather useless, because you need all of them in order to stack them. Must go in order. But that is true of both of our sets.

They are a quality plastic, and my boys LOVE them. They learn so much from them, and it is appropriate for a wide age range. They started really early (6 months I think?) putting one cup inside another cup, like the smallest one inside the biggest one, but now at 15 months they can stack 3 cups, then take it apart and nest them. They also put small toys in them, and again, this is something they start doing very early, but they are still great learning toys for toddlers as well.

The ones with holes are perhaps better bath toys though, because they can see the water drain out, but these are heavier, and more interesting with the different shaped bottoms and designs. Also there is something to be said for being able to pour the water out if used as a bath toy.

Get like 4 sets of stacking cups. There are some at Ikea for $2.50, so get 2 of those, then get some with holes in them, and get these. There is no better infant / early toddler toy then stacking/nesting cups.

Carter's Jungle Jill Plush Doll, Giraffe

My baby is still on the way but I wanted to get her something she could play with. I wanted to check it out myself before I gave it to her (can never be too careful esp. when it's your first!). It's huggable and has soft material. It's exactly as the picture is darker pink for the hooves, horns, pink spots, and hair on its neck and tail; lighter pink for the nose and inner ears. I didn't buy the carter's bedding but I do have the wall decals and this toy goes well with the rest of our Jungle themed nursery. I hope our baby likes it as much as I do :) If anything changes after she comes and actually starts to use the doll, I will update the review.

Lil' Man Eating Shark Child Costume

I ordered this costume two weeks before Halloween. It arrived and when we opened it, it had a strange, awful smell. I put it on my nine year old son, and he complained that it was itchy and caused a rash on his skin. The worst of this is when I contacted the company, they required me to call their customer service number to get a return authorization. I called SIX different times, and stayed on hold for more than 20 minutes each time. I emailed again and they gave me another number. I stayed on hold again. I will NEVER order from Amazon again. Your suppliers do NOT stand behind their merchandise. It should not be this hard to return a defective product. Basically, I have wasted 50+ dollars. We purchased another costume for my son.

My son really wanted this costume for Halloween, so my mother ordered it for him. We didn't realize it did not come with the shoes or anything to hold the "legs" up with. We had to get crafty and cut a swim noodle into 2, stuck some shoes on the ends and it looked good. By the end of the night though, the legs were growing cumbersome for my son so we ended up taking the shoes and noodles off, stuffing the pant legs inside and he was just a land shark. Everyone got a kick out of the costume though, he got lots of laughs and pictures taken of him, so he was happy.

I don't think it's worth it's price, but my son would probably tell you differently!

Buy Lil' Man Eating Shark Child Costume Now

This was an awesome costume and was perfect for my fifth grade boy to wear at the costume parade at school. It elicited a lot of laughs and strange stares (both were highly entertaining for me!)

BUT while it was great for a short period of time at school, it only made it about a block at night trick-or-treating as my son had to hold his arms up (to be the "legs" hanging out of the shark's mouth) at an awkward angle and his arms quickly tired out. Having shoes on his hands also made it difficult to carry a trick-or-treat bag. We opted for a tote so the handle could go around his arm in stead of a pillowcase which he couldn't hold because of the shoes-on-feet needed for this costume.

So I would say this costume is best suited to an older kid middle school and up and better for a costume party as opposed to trick-or-treating.

The costume is made well,(you supply your own shoes) and will hold up well for repeated uses or handing down to the next man-eating generation.

And it certainly was a hoot!!

My three year old son, who is very much a rough and tough boy, wanted his own baby for Christmas. As I am pregnant and there is much discussion of babies in the house we thought it would be a good idea to purchase this for him. It is just the right size, it's not girly and he loves it.

Young Justice - Kid Flash Child Costume

When I ordered this I couldn't tell if it came with the yellow boots. The picture looked like it did but the description did not indicate boots. When it arrived I was happy to see the costume is sewn in such away that it appears to be boots and the top part of the "shoe" is foam with a strap and you can easily wear regular tennis shoes and the costume completely covers them. It is made with the typical halloween costume material. My 9 year old son loves this costume. The day it arrived he ran around the neighborhood.

Step 2 Wagon for Two Plus Willow Green

The main problem with it is the wheels. They are a hollow plastic (rubber-like) material. It makes the wagon difficult to pull, steer, and noisy. The one I got was also uneven. One wheel didn't always touch the ground without a load. The door feature is nice so the kid can get in and out easier. The storage seat is useful but, should be on the side of the handle since the kid will most often be sitting in the back to face forward. The kid will or won't like it regardless of the wheels but, the parent having to pull the thing will want better wheels. Basically, you save about $20 compared to the basic plastic Radio Flyer which has real solid rubber wheels. I think the RF is definitely worth the extra money. As a matter of fact I returned this one and got the RF...

This wagon is very durable and easy to pull, however, with two toddlers sitting on the seats in the wagon, there is not enough room for both sets of feet in the bottom. One has to put their feet on the other's.

The overall design of the base is pretty good. Kids sit well, with two seats and small storage area under one of the seats. The handle is a little short. I am 6'2" and the angle makes it very dificult to pull. Also, my back tires rub on the plastic (I think the axle was slightly short) and the wheels do not handle rough turrain very well. I am looking at other options and will likely pay a little more to get a longer handle and smoother "drive-train."
