Melissa & Doug Zoo Animals Touch and Feel Puzzle

Melissa & Doug Zoo Animals Touch and Feel PuzzleMy 15-month old son loves this puzzle from Melissa and Doug. He loves how each animal has a different texture that he can touch and explore. He loves to try to imitate the animal sounds for each animal. The pieces are easy to take out and put in because they are large and slightly raised from the puzzle board. This puzzle will be fun for him for a long time as he learns to do it by himself. The pieces and board are also very durable and high-quality. So far, all Melissa and Doug toys and puzzles I have bought are great. I would recommend buying this puzzle as well as their deluxe wire puzzle storage rack.

My son is almost two and for the past several months he has loved playing with Melissa and Doug puzzles. They are bright, sturdy, and the chunky pieces are easy for him to manipulate. He has learned so many words from us playing with the puzzles together. This one is special in that it has textured material on each animal, but he hasn't really seemed to notice that much.

Both items were presents for my little grand-daughter's birthday. She is having a "zoo" themed party so I thought these would be perfect gifts. Her family loves visiting different zoos. The book lists all different animals, even some very unique creatures! The puzzle was very colorful with some texture to it that I'm sure will appeal to little ones.

Bunnies by the Bay Rattle

Bunnies by the Bay Bunny Rattle, WhiteIt's very cute, but the fur keeps coming off in my daughters mouth, so I had to take away from her. Afraid she'll choke on it.

This little wrist rattle is the cutest thing. It's perfect for a new born as it is so soft and adorable. Babies will get hours of pleasure from this little rabbit.

Want Bunnies by the Bay Rattle Discount?

I bought the white bunny wristlet rattle for my 3 month old. I had one of these type rattles with one of my other children and it seems they are hard to find. I love the way it looks and the little pink cheeks the bunny has. I have not had any problems with the fur coming off as another review has stated. The only reason I gave this little guy a 4 instead of a 5 is because it was a little big for her wrist right now but I improvise and put it on her ankle and she loves it just as much. I have several bunny by the bay products and they are all amazing. My little girl loves them already and she still an infant! If youre looking for a cute gift to add to a babyshower gift this is a good and great priced rattle!

My First Easter Bunny Booties

My First Easter Bunny BootiesI bought this cuz i'm a children photography and wanted them for an Easter theme photoshoot.. they are absolutely adorable, soft and they come with little bells on the inside that sound when the baby shakes their feet which is a plus cuz they keep them relaxed and happy! :) i would totally recommend this to anyone, they seem durable and are really well made! :)

Love these. Fit my daughter well and she's a size 3 toddler. Very cute. Only complaint is they have no grip on the bottom. I just added a few puff paint lines across the sole and that did the trick.

Prince Lionheart Whirl Balance Scooter

Prince Lionheart Whirl Balance Scooter, Natural/PinkWe bought this for our daughter's 2nd birthday. I am new to Amazon and love the fast shipping that's free with the Mom account so I figured I'd go with Amazon over BRU for the item. I'm glad we did since we had to send back the first bike. The frame was damaged on the inside which we noticed after it was all put together. The return was very easy which was great, we had a new one two days later.

Installation is very easy and takes about 30 minutes, it comes with everything in the package. With both bikes, the front 'light' was dinged with the paint and even though we wanted a perfect one it wasn't worth sending it back when both had the same ding.

The actual scooter is adorable although the seat is kind of a cheaper material, but still nice. The pink color is very cute.

We also purchased a bell and the Bell Fraction helmet from Amazon in pink to go with her new scooter. We hope our daughter will love this!

We got this for our daughter's 2nd birthday when she began showing interest in bikes, unfortunately just weeks before I had snagged a tricycle from a friend for her as well. She enjoyed the ease of being pushed on the trike better than having to push herself on this. She really loved it when we pushed her around on it, but most attempts do it herself resulted in her crying for us to push her (to be fair, she's not too big on the whole "do it yourself" thing if she thinks she could get hurt).

She tells me she likes the bike (as she spotted me typing the review), but her actions don't show it well. I think she'll start liking it more this year when the novelty wears off the trike (she can now pedal and steer herself on it so she will be wanting 2 wheels soon... I hope.)

Even if the original recipient never digs it, we have another little girl now that might end up enjoying it in a few years, so the investment will hopefully not be lost.

For reference, our daughter was 36" at the time of purchase, she's about 2-3" taller now. She was able to ride it on mostly tip toes at first (more width than height), now it fits her better (meaning she looks more comfortable while attempting it), and it's still on the lowest setting.

Buy Prince Lionheart Whirl Balance Scooter Now

I bought this for its looks, but my 3.5 year old girl is still having trouble holding it up. I weighed it 12 pounds. Looking at the descriptions of some of the metal bikes I see some are 7 pounds. My boy learned on the wooden Skutt starting on his 3rd birthday and had no trouble, but I bet that is lighter and he was bigger and stronger than my girl at the same age. (She's about 38 inches and lightweight with small feet). So I'm going to have to get her a light one because I think it would be months before she could hold this up. Height wise, her feet are flat on the ground at the lowest seat setting, so that is fine. I am hoping the adjustable seat will mean she can use this when she is bigger and stronger I would amend my rating to 4 stars if she gets some use out of it later. The cool scooter panels have added unnecessary weight, and take away from its functionality a bit.

I love the look of this balance bike, obviously you do too, that is the strong point of this particular bike. My daughter loves it, and really that's what matters (although it is also kinda cool that EVERYONE else seems to love it too, be ready for lots of comments/compliments) The complaint is really just in the labeling. I bought it for my daughter's second birthday. I knew it was on the tall side, but figured since she is in the 95% for height, it would probably fit her well. Wrong. She could barely reach her tippy toes to the ground while sitting on it. She still likes it, she usually just stands between the seat and the handle bars and walks around pushing it, but it will be awhile before she can really ride it. So unless your kid is off the charts tall, it would probably make a better 3rd birthday gift.

Want Prince Lionheart Whirl Balance Scooter Discount?

I purchased the boys version for my son a while back and he loves it! I had to get this for my 3 year old daughter after she tried a bike with training wheels and did not like it. She took a couple of weeks to really get good on it, but now she can really go. It's so neat to see my 3 and 2 year olds showing great balance and loving riding these balance bikes. I would never suggest training wheels to anyone after seeing how natural these bikes work to teach balance and bike handling. Seems to be well made. It even survived a scuffle with my trucks front tire. Stronger than you might think. I do make an effort to keep them inside and not to let them get wet!

Lamaze Eddie the Elephant Play and Grow

Lamaze Eddie the Elephant Play and GrowMy son has had this toy since he was 3 months and he is now 7 months and this is still his favorite! There is just to much to this toy. There are so many different colors and textures and sounds! His ears, trunk and the ends of his legs crinkle. He has a squeaker in his belly that always gets a laugh from my boy. One paw has a textured teether in the shape of a leaf and the other has 2 rings with different textures. There is a lots to touch and mouth. There is also a large clip at the top to make it easy to attach to car seats, bouncers, strollers, etc.

Pros:

Lots of textures

Crinkle paper

Teether

Rings

Hook to attach to things

Squeaker

Cons:

None that I have found

My son has loved this toy for 5 months now and I'm sure he will continue to love it for many more! I think it was plenty worth the $10 or $11 I spent on it! I would buy it again!

This guy, Eddie the Elephant is plush, chewable, resistant and goes everwhere! Baby loves Eddie. He definitely is a must have amongst all of the Lamaze Play and Grow toys! Guys like: Jacques the Peacock, Freddie the Firefly, Mortimer the Moose, Buzz the Bug and many others! Check him and the others out and enjoy! Tony

We gave this to my son for Christmas when he was 3 months. He wasn't interested right away, but started to be around 4 months as he could hold it better and move it around to feel and mouth different parts of the elephant. This is the toy I reach for now when he's bored. It seems to entertain him the longest with different textures to feel and things to grab.

Read Best Reviews of Lamaze Eddie the Elephant Play and Grow Here

My son loves this elephant. It was the first toy that he would reach out and try to grab. The crinkly ears and feet are the best parts of this toy. As he has gotten older, he likes to chew on the rings and leaves. For quite a while I would not leave the house without this toy, as it was the only thing he would entertain himself with. We also have the Lamaze Dragonfly, but my son did not become interested in that one until about 2 months after he was playing with the elephant. The only complaint I have is that the top of Eddie's head is becoming slightly sun-faded from all of his trips outside of the house. For the amount of love my son has given this toy and the hours he's been entertained by him, I give this toy a full 5 stars and a full recommendation!

Corolle Mon Premier Calin Laughing Flowers Baby Doll

Corolle Mon Premier Calin Laughing Flowers Baby DollI have two daughters, so we have been through several differnt types of baby dolls over the years. THIS doll is THE BEST! She is the PERFECT size for my two-year-old daughter to carry around. She can be thrown in the washing machine if needed. The facial, hand and foot features are adorable! And this particular outfit is so cute! My 7-year-old and 2-year-old daughters both love this doll and so do I! In fact, when my daughter lost her first one, I replaced it with a second one because it was our favorite!

This doll is so nice. A lot better quality than you can find at the large chain stores for around the same price. I ordered my daughter two doll and my niece one, and they both love them. They are 18 months and 2 years old and my daughter acts like it is a real baby, giving it a bottle and burping it. Perfect size for a child that age or even older. Worth the price!

Buy Corolle Mon Premier Calin Laughing Flowers Baby Doll Now

I bought this Corolle doll for my 10 month old daughter. My daughter has giggled and smiled, hugged and cooed. She sleeps with the doll and wakes up smelling like soft vanilla-really! I love the vanilla scented doll. The doll has a pretty face, open smiling lips and brown/hazel eyes that sleep. The vinyl head, arms and legs are smooth. The doll's head turns. It doesn't have actual hairno matted mop of hair, just sculpted hair textured head. The body is fabric, stuffed and also filled with beans so it can sit on its own. The outfit is nicely made: knit hat, [quilters] cotton shirt and pants, and to finish it off, a boucle-like sweater jacket. Each piece is able to come off to wash.

My Daughter has a couple of the Corolle rag dolls and [we] love them. This, Mon Premier Calin, having more life-like features, gets more reactions from my little girl. I see my girl talking to the doll, holding hands and giving kisses.

The doll is a small 12" baby doll well appropriate, I think, for a 10 month up to any age girl that loves playing dolls/house. I would recommend this doll (or any Corolle doll) to anyone!!

Want Corolle Mon Premier Calin Laughing Flowers Baby Doll Discount?

I had purchased a Corolle Calin baby perhaps ten years ago, set it aside, and presented it to my son earlier this year, just before he turned three. He has a baby sister, and immediately took to "Naptime Baby", as we call the doll. She has survived all sorts of adventures with her "daddy", including being dropped out the fourth-floor window of a hotel room earlier this summer (he wanted to see if she could fly). She has a bright, cheerful, realistic look to her and a light vanilla scent. Her cloth body is full of plastic pellets, and therefore she can curl up just like a real baby, and toddlers seem to find her to be as cuddly as a real baby, too! My daughter, who is nearly fourteen months old, has become so attached to her brother's doll that I decided to order her this version today. I had an early Corolle Calin baby doll as a child, and its appeal made it easy to decide on a first baby for my own children.

Update: The doll arrived today and was an immediate hit with both children. For customers used to the older (circa 2000 and older) model, this baby has fewer pellets inside and much softer stuffing. Her skin is a pretty olive tone, and she has soft, lovely eyelashes which my three-year-old noticed immediately. The texture of her skin seems slightly less silky than the older models, and her vanilla scent is slightly different. The quality of the fabric and stitching of her clothes is truly exceptional. My 14-month-old has been carrying her around all afternoon, hugging and kissing her. An excellent choice for a baby's first baby.

Under The Nile Asparagus Toy

Under The Nile Asparagus ToyI bought this as well as the green bean for the same company. The asparagus try is MUCH to large for my 3 month old son to chew on. However, the toy is well made any very cute. Compared to the asparagus, the green been is tapered at the end, so he can actually chew on it. I think once he gets a little bigger the asparagus will be a hit.

I already owned the Under the Nile eggplant toy. My now 2 year old has used it since she was a newborn. I now have a 1 year old daughter who loves these toys too. I bought the strawberry and the asparagus toys for her and she adores them. They are her lovies! Thanks Under the Nile for awesome and durable products

I bought every single vegetable and fruit that Under the Nile makes! They are made of the softest material and have the sweetest faces!

I love under the nile! I was amazed at the size of this toy. It is really hard to find teething items for young babies! My son began teething at 2.5 months and this was just too big for his mouth. But it is a great teether none the less. I think once he starts eating actual solid asparagus and he can relate the two items then he is going to have a lot of fun with it!

Jellycat Bashful Tiger 12"

Jellycat Bashful Tiger 12'My son got this as a gift when he was born and it's been his favorite toy ever since! It's long, so it's perfect for him to grab and hold (and hug!). He smiles every time we bring "Tabby", as we call her, out to play. And now that he's teething, he can chew on her ears. A must have for your babe. Sadly, the rest of his stuffed animals are just ignored, but this tiger is a hit!!

Today I am the best boyfriend in the world because my girlfriend's stuffed tiger came in the mail!

This guy has an expressive face, a cute tail, a big belly, and it is just the right weight and texture to be cuddle-able. It is well-made and looks great.

She's head-over-heels infatuated with it! (And me)

In Character Costumes, LLC Girls 2-6X Little Red Riding Hood Dress Set

Little Red Riding Hood Costume Size: X-SmallI am very impressed with this costume. It came in a nice hanging bag and is good quality! Most costumes these days are made so cheap but this one will last :) it's so cute!! I ordered the size 8 for my daughter who is a size 6/7 and it zips up just right..so it seems the sizing on this runs small.

Fisher-Price Press and Go Farm Truck

Fisher-Price Press and Go Farm Trucki bought this for my one year old granddaughter since she liked animals. she liked the animals fine but didn't show any interest in the truck. i was disappointed in it because the truck didn't go very far at all when you pressed the cow. the music didn't last long either. kind of a high price to pay for the two animals that came with it.

I bought this toy for my son's first birthday and it's just okay. The colors are bright and cheery and the little pig and sheep are the perfect size for my son to carry around the house. The one thing I was mildly disappointed in was the length of time the music played on the toy. When the cow is depressed the truck moves and music plays but it only lasts a couple of seconds. The truck is large enough and sturdy enough that he can push around the house on his knees.

Buy Fisher-Price Press and Go Farm Truck Now

I got this truck for my son for Christmas. He likes the truck and the noises it makes however he gets frustrated that the truck will barely move on carpet. It has to be used (if you want it to go on it's own) on hard floors.

Other than that the truck is great.

My son likes to put little toys in the back and push it around the house. It seems to be very durable seeing as how he has banged it and dropped it numerous times and it has held up wonderfully with a roudy 18 month old!

Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Press and Go Farm Truck Here

This fisher price toy is fair. My 8 month old son is able to press down on the cow and watch the truck move on its own and encourages him to crawl after it. But it doesn't go very far and is extremely slow on carpet. My son doesn't really care for this toy and prefers a caparable toy by the wiggles which goes much faster and further. good concept but doesnt deliver.

Want Fisher-Price Press and Go Farm Truck Discount?

I purchased this toy for my twin sons, they are 12 months old now. Every time they use this toy they push it from the back and the front pops up and the cow that is driving hits them in the face or nose. We have already suffered a bloody nose. This toy is dangerous for anyone under two. There is nothing on it to keep the front from coming up when any pressure is added to the back. Item needs to be recalled. We have 100 trucks, this is the only one they can no longer play with.

Fisher-Price Kick and Learn Piano

Fisher-Price Kick and Learn PianoThe product was just as I had expected. The baby, 4 months old, kicked the heck out of it. He has made his way down to the end of the crib in the middle of the night to play. I would suggest turning it off at nightime if you want to get some rest.

The only drawback I found was the volumn could be a little stronger it is too low for my liking.

HI all,

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I want to put this here like a warning for other parents who use this piano or are about to buy it.

We got it when our daughter was 3 months (it states 0+ months) and it has been entertaining her since lots, she loves to play with it! Loves the lights and the sounds.

It is not as durable as expected, threads from the filling inside were coming out right from the first week. It is padded, but it is still quite hard when a baby drops their had on the key's. Padding should be improved.

However the biggest problem is that orange, standing out, cutting switch on the right side. It is rounded down, but is sticking out made of hard plastic. I had my thoughts on it from the start, I imagined how our daughter could fall on it, since infants drop their head abruptly when still learning head control. Worse, she is now 6 months and is falling over from her sitting positions. I should have trusted my instinct from the beginning and removed it, but I didn't. Despite being next to her as she was sitting and playing, touching the keys and the lights, she fell over and hit her cheek on the switch! It swell and she has a bruise now. I dare not imagine what could have happened, if she would have hit her eye!!

I am taking this piano away.

I am surprised that Fisher Price would make this crucial mistake and put such a standing out cutting switch on an infant's toy! I am going to send a complaint to them as well and hopefully they will either recall or improve their product.

Hope that helps other parents.

Sassy Sensory SymphonyI have a son who has autism and is very sensory oriented. He loves music and he loves feeling different textures, so this was right up his alley!

I love to get my kids toys that have different textures, and this one was a great choice. It plays nice, non-irritating music as well as having the different textured fish. They have a great time with it.

My 7 month old daughter loves this and gets super excited when she hears it. That's the part I don't like...the sound! I'm so sad that I don't like this product, but I wish each fish played a different tune. Our version was also missing the fish rattle, which I noticed many people wrote in their reviews.

My babies loved this from the time I gave it to them. Received it at the baby shower but they got to play with it at about 4-5 months. My twins still love playing with it at nearly 8 months. Keeps them engaged and as they develop they tend to find it more and more interesting. I give it 4 stars because I feel the music is too loud and does not sound soothing in my opinion. There's no way to strap it on to anything. It is heavy and is not flimsy. Overall, very pleased.

Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Activity Gym

Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Activity GymJust received this as a gift from my sister in law for my 5 month old and so far he loves it! The little pillow is great for tummy time, as it props him up nicely. The mat is so soft and plush and very good quality, which makes feel better knowing that he's comfortable. The littler animals are just too cute! He loves to coo at the little elephant and giggles at the little lion. He tries to bat the monkey just to hear it rattle. As he starts to get bigger I know he'll be able to interact with the toys much better. For now, he just likes to stare at them. What's also great is that when he gets too big for the activity gym, I can hang the mat on the wall in his room! Love!!!

I did a lot of research before purchasing this because a lot of the mainstream brands can't be trusted with what type of materials they use in construction (nasty plastics), many are toxic and won't even disclose what they've used. While this isn't perfect (I was looking for 100% cotton), it was the best option I could find on the market. Our daughter loves the elephants, both the one that dangles and the one on the mat with the polka-dot ear that crinkles. The whale that has music and the mirror underneath is also a big hit with her. We've had this for a few months now and I've washed the mat a couple times as well as the toys (can't wash the whale, of course) and they've all faired beautifully. Plus, I don't really think it's that much more expensive than some of the other options. For us, it was worth the price. I would definitely recommend and purchase again.

I was looking for something that was gender neutral and a little bit more modern looking, and this product definitely fits the bill.

As a first time mom I've struggled with the overwhelming number of obnoxious themed baby items and the high price tag of anything that isn't. This gym is bright and fun enough for my little girl to love it without being an eyesore for everyone else.

The animals are adorable with a variety of textures and noises that keep her entertained for hours, plus, they're detachable so she can play with them in the car or crib and other toys can be hung in their place when she's needing a change.

I've also been very impressed with how well it has washedI'm a touch on the OCD side of things so the mat and toys have been washed numerous times in the past 5 months but don't show any signs of wear.

I would definitely recommend this!

All of the colors and the options to hang the animals low or in various spots (you can move them around) so she can kick & hit them are great and she gets a good little exercise session in when she lays on this! I like that it comes w/ the pillow she hates tummy time, but when I use the pillow to prop her a bit, she lasts a little longer. It's a cute mat and overall we're very happy with it. There are even extra loops that you can hang additional toys if you want.

Manhattan Toy Peek-Squeak Large Activity Toy, GiraffeI love this softy Toy, it has two medium horns that the could be use as a teether, also teething rings around his neck, hand with magnet so the small bird can attach well, a huge 5 star mirror that will keep your baby smiling, and finally a squeakers legs. My baby love the horns and the mirror and she is still 8 month old, and i think it will be very good toy for toddlers too.

This toy is adorable, but when it arrived my mom pointed out to me that it has a number of small pieces attached by some string. If any of them detach from the toy, then they are definitely choking hazards. I was a little shocked that Amazon sold it as a baby toy without any mention of these small pieces.

Otherwise, it's very cute, but I plan on using it more as decoration than as a toy my baby actually uses.

The colors aren't very bright so this toy only captured her attention by the sounds of the rattle, bird, rings, and squeakers. She preferred this toy when she was around 4 months, now at 9 she prefers to just chew on it. I haven't seen her interested in the manipulative aspects of this toy, one of the whole points, but she does still like it. And I can't imagine any of the small pieces coming free of the toy without scissors, so not a risk.

VTech - Winnie the Pooh - Explore and Learn Table

VTech - Winnie the Pooh - Explore and Learn TableGreat table. If your child is "cruising" this is something good to have around. The legs are strong but if you want it as a table you can take it off and us it on the floor.

We got this table during the recent toy sale (or error, lol) for about $5. It was *very* well worth that, and more, I'm sure. I don't know if it's worth the $45 price they have on it at the moment. It is really cute, has lots of little buttons to press, and other things, like sliders, spinners, etc... I don't know why, but I think I was expecting it to be a bit bigger, but thinking about it, it's actually the right size for a little one. It was quick and easy to put together. If you can get it when it's on sale, I'd definitely say go for it...

I got this for my daughter and she loves it, when it's working. It gets stuck making this awful repetitive noise and doesn't stop until you turn it off. Even once your turn it back on its hit or miss wether or not it will work the way it should. I agree with the people who had had problems with the slippery feet, it moves all over the place which was a bit frightening when my daughter was first pulling herself up on things and it would slide out from under her! Its too bad they didn't think through a flaw that would be so easily fixed!

Although the design is cute and the songs not too annoying, I think there's something to be said about this toy getting a little repetetive. The big problem we had was the fact that the legs were slippery, on carpet, on wood, you name it. It made it hard for our 9 month old to get up at first, and once she was up, it would slide around on her, acting more like a walker than an activity center.
