Gumball Machine

Gumball MachineMy 15 month old son really Loves this toy. His favorite things to play with always involve balls:) It is a very basic toy with little bells and whistles, which is why i chose it. It does'nt require batteries and is'nt deafing to my ears. I would recommend it to anyone with a young child who loves to play with balls.

My daughter got this for her 1st birthday. At 13 months, she was able to put the entire ball in her mouth and it got stuck! We were both frantic as I tried to pry it out of her mouth but it was behind her teeth so extremely hard to get out. It took about 30 seconds, which felt like forever, and I have never been that scared before in my life! She could hardly breathe! Please....it's not worth it...please don't buy this. I'm tossing mine

We've had this toy for a long time and all my kids love it but today my 13 month old somehow jammed a ball into his mouth and it got stuck there! It was too big to go down his throat but I could barely pry it out of his mouth and it was really scary! I'll never use this toy again. If they make a new model with bigger balls I'd buy it again.

My oldest daughter has been playing with this toy since she got it for her first birthday (a year and a half ago) and still loves it. My 5-month old has now started to play with it as well. The balls are different colors and some of them rattle when you shake them. I like this toy because the kids have to figure out how to get the balls in and out and they learn what the 2 different levers do. It is very simple, not annoying or loud, but somehow the kids just love to play with it. As for durability, these balls have been thrown all over the living room, sat on, stepped on, put in mouths, etc., the machine itself has been dropped several times and I've never had any problems with anything breaking or coming apart. In all, a very simple, entertaining toy.

The balls of this toy come apart. My son got half of one ball lodged in his mouth and choked and threw up from it. It was a very scary experience. In my opinion, this toy needs to be recalled.

Wonderworld Fire Engine Walker

Wonderworld Fire Engine WalkerMy daughter received this for her first birthday and it has been quite a hit! She loves it, her best friend loves it... they like to push each other around in it, although I am sure that would not be recommended by the manufacturer. The blocks are fun too and it came with more blocks than what was expected.

I bought this walker for my 10 mth old son. It came with one of the wheels already came off from the walker. The wheel was glued instead of bolted to the walker and it can easily come off. Returning the item!

Little Chubbies Gift Set (Assorted Styles and Colors)

Little Chubbies Gift SetThis is a great toy for an active one year old. My son received them around 13 months and has continued to play with them into his mid twos. Perfect palm size. Most of the cars/trucks link together which is great. Perfect for stroller, table, and bath play.

1 + years of constant play and they hold up like new.

These are the perfect size toy and my son love them. I put them in his Easter basket and he has not stopped playing with them since. I love that you can run them through the dishwasher and sanitize them when they get dirty.

Great product and would buy again any day.

These little vehicles make great bath toys, if you can convince the kids to let them stay in the bathtub!

green sprouts Organic Terry Circus Animal Teether

green sprouts Organic Terry Circus Animal Teether-Cornflower TigerI applaud a company for making products that are safe, especially at an affordable price. However, the quality of the bear is extremely poor. The stitching looks like it was done by hand by a beginner seamstress and not in a charming "handmade" kind of way. My preschooler gets kid meal toys that look better quality than this. In fact, I would be embarrassed to give this to someone as a gift. Also, the item description says organic cotton exterior AND organic cotton fill. However, the tag on my product says organic exterior and does not list "organic" for the cotton interior. I've read that cotton batting does contain pesticide residues (if it is not organic) because it is not as processed as cotton fabric (which does not contain pesticide residues). Initially I bought this because the interior was organic cotton and not polyester. False representation.

While this looks like my son would love it he never got the chance because it is being returned for a refund due to the poor quality of this toy. The stitching is so lose it looks like with a tug his head would promptly fall off and there are holes where you can see the stuffing and I just opened the package! So disappointed! As a busy mom the last thing I have time to do is return an item so that tells you just how poorly its made that I am taking the time to do so. I love the teether keys from Greensprout so I was hoping to love this one too.

When I washed the tiger, the filling got a little lumpy. It is a natural filling (cotton) which is probably why it does that, but I was just surprised, being used to typical synthetic filings. The teether part was not particularly interesting to my baby because there is no texture on it, but he did like chewing on the stuffed animal part of it. Looked liked a tiger to me and very cute.

My daughter really likes this toy especially since she can hold it by herself and chew on it. I was just a bit disapointed that I couldnt take the ring off to wash the toy...

First Bead Maze

First Bead MazeI remember playing with larger versions of these in doctor waiting rooms when I was a kid, so when I saw this little one, I thought my almost one-year-old would love it. She was more into the wrapping paper than most of her presents but when she saw what was under the paper in this particular instance she reached out her arms and said, "Ahhhh! Ahhh!" in a very intense way until I managed to get it out of the shrink wrap and put it in her hands. She then proceeded to try and eat it which is her way of showing that she loves something, generally speaking. She loves it if I sit with her and help her push the beads around the wires. It is small but seems very durable.

Nuby Bath Animals

Nuby 16 Piece Bath Tub Foam, Animal CharactersThese are a great buy for tub toys. My toddler loves them because they squirt water. They only down side is, they will probably have to be replaced every year or so, if you don't squeeze the water out of each one at the end of bath time, they can begin to smell of mildew.

There are two of each animal. They stick when wet, dry easily, my 14 month old loves them. She does bite them, so be careful. We have fun naming all the animals. I was concern for the foam smell and mold of other products but these did not smell at all right out of the bag and there is no mold. They dry quickly on and off the surface of the tub.

You get 16 foam pieces, 8 different animals. So when I received them I immediately put 8 to the side so when the ones in the tub wore out I could replace them. My 6 month daughter loves these in the tub! We started using them when she was 5 months and took her baths on her back. We would stick them to the side of the tub so she could look at them and would try to peel them off. Now that she is able to sit up in the tub she enjoys chasing them as they float around her. And I am continually surprised with how many she is able to grab!

These are also great for teething! The 8 I put "away" well they ended up in her toy box because of how much she enjoys chewing on these! By far her favorite teether. They are light and easy for her to grab and hold onto and provide a perfect combination of hard/soft for teething babies. I even put a few in the freezer. My baby doesn't like super cold teethers and hates when they get wet and soggy. These foam pieces get pretty cold but don't stay cold for long and they don't sweat as they thaw.

Have had them for nearly 2 months and they look brand new!

My 7 month old baby enjoys playing with these. They engage him during bath time and I also let him play with one of them on occasions when he gets fussy. He likes the bright colors and also teethes on them a little. There's two of each animal and I set aside one set for later. I threw out his rubber duckies (which can hold water and cause mold) and replaced them with these and some stacking cups. Baby is happy!

My son likes these, bites on them, hasn't torn them up much (14 mos), really likes to put them in cups, take on/off the wall. A few have made their way around the house. Nice that it comes with 2 sets of the characters in case they get lost (not that he'll care, but it drives me nuts).
