Bob the Builder – Can We Build It Activity Tool Bench

Bob the Builder – Can We Build It Activity Tool Bench

From Learning Curve

Features basic workbench play with multiple activity areas (pounding, screwing, cutting). Over 20 electronic lights and sounds. Two modes of play for older and younger kids: Free Play, where kids can hammer and hear Bob character phrases; Build-Along Mode, where kids follow the lights to “build” Bob’s song before the time runs out. Handle for easy carrying. Comes with detachable screwdriver and hammer.

My 2 year old son got this for his birthday in December and he still plays with it often. We also got him a “Bob Builder” tool belt. He puts the toolbelt on and then works at his toolbench. He has very few toys that have continued to capture his interest, but after 7 months, he is still excited about this toy!

The Original Baby Banana Brush

The Original Baby Banana Brush

From Live-Right Solutions

Introducing the Baby Banana Brush a bendable, silicone infant toothbrush and teether that reaches the back corners of the mouth, appeals to infants and is safe to use. Invented by mother of two and dental hygienist, Heather Phillips, who first got the idea for the Baby Banana Brush when her teething nephew fell on a plastic infant toothbrush and punctured the roof of his mouth. Shortly thereafter, when her own infant daughter tried using various toothbrushes as teethers, she could not find one that was safe yet effective.

I bought this to brush my daughter’s gums to help get her used to the sensation so that when she gets teeth it won’t bother her too much. Little did I know that I was purchasing a product that would be her absolute favorite toy. She is six and a half months and although no teeth have appeared yet, she is teething like crazy and this banana is the only toy that seems to help; she just LOVES sucking on it and chewing it. She always gets so excited when I give it to her (makes lots of sounds and flapping of arms). She loves when I brush her gums with it too. So, although not advertised as a teething toy, it is the best out there!

My son absolutely loves this thing. I do have to say there is one down side to this. If you have a sleigh crib with the back that curves not the sides. You have to put this on the side where you let your bar up and down. Not only does it look tacky but it’s not functional there. Also, sometimes you have to tap it a little hard to get it to turn on again (with new batteries). But my son loves to watch this so I would have to say all in all it’s worth the money.

Play Town Pirate Ship and Pirates Set

Play Town Pirate Ship and Pirates Set

From Learning Curve

Let little imaginations set sail with this adventurous playset. Pirate ship features wooden parts and accents, working anchor, working cannon cannonball launcher, working wheel, extending planks, and moving telescope. Wheels on the bottom create a feeling of sailing on the ocean. Comes complete with pirate and first mate figures, plus a removable treasure chest. Measures 14″H x 12″W x 6″D.

I bought this pirate ship for my sons first birthday. He loves it, he likes the pirates that come with it. It is a nice size and has a lot of detail and it has wheels at the bottom, so it can be pushed around. The sails do come off easily, so just leave the ties on them. I did a lot of researching for the perfect pirate ship toy and it came down to this one.

Despite the many tempting choices for pirate ships, this is the one we chose for my 18 month old son based on the multitude of ways he could play with it. It has a spinning wheel to turn, a moveable looking glass, an anchor that goes up and down, a canon that can click to either side of the boat, a removable treasure chest with hinged top, removable sails, removable flag, and last but not least a plank that pulls out.

Bratz Babyz Cloe

Bratz Babyz Cloe

From MGA Entertainment

Before the Bratz were everybody’s favorite fashion friends, they were the baby girls with a passion for fashion! This is where it all began – the funky fashions, the sizzlin’ accessories and the far-out friendship. Look out, these Babyz already know how to flaunt it, and they’re keepin’ it real in the crib.

Bratz Babyz Cloe features painted finger and toe nails. Includes: Bratz Babyz Cloe doll, one outfit, chain with bottle, flocked pet, diaper bag purse and one blanket. Measures approximately 5″ tall.

They are so cute and the cases they come in are also adorable with the oversized safety pin as the handle. My daughter loves her babies and plays with them all the time. They come with tiny little accessories that are also alot of fun to play with. Overall I give the Bratz Babyz 5 stars because of the deal I found on them but most importantly because my daughter adores them. BUY THEM!! They’re worth it!!

Plush Comfy Cozy Puppy 24″

Plush Comfy Cozy Puppy 24″

From Gund

GUND is known worldwide for its top quality, soft and huggable plush designs. GUND products appeal to all ages, from infants up, and are perfect for both play and collecting Gotta Getta Gund.

My daughter inherited her cousin’s “doggy” and has been sleeping with it since she was 4 months old. It helps her settle for sleep very quickly as she loves to cuddle up to it. It is made of a nice, soft furry material with satin paws. She is now 16 moths old and it has become her security blanket and she takes “doggy” everywhere with her. Thankfully it washes well and dries so quickly that she is never without it for long. With another baby on the way, I am definitely buying another one, since my daughter would probably not be willing to share hers!

This blue dog is my 6-month-old’s favorite toy. She will be wailing and when the dog shows up, she lights up and reaches for it. When she’s having trouble falling asleep, I give her the dog and she falls asleep with it on top of her (I remove it after she falls asleep). It’s machine washable and dryable and the same size she is. I couldn’t recommend this product more, and will be buying more for other friends who are pregnant or have little ones.

The First Years Nature Sensations Dreams In Sight Mobile

The First Years Nature Sensations Dreams In Sight Mobile

From The First Years

The First Years Dreams-In-Sight Mobile helps develop visual tracking skills with its unique rotating canopy that projects images closer to baby. The mobile plays four soothing music selections – classical, lullaby, soothing spa and nature sounds. A Remote Control lets parent activate music and motion without disturbing baby. The detachable music box can remain in crib as baby gets older (approximately 5+ months).The mobile also features automatic shut off after 10 minutes and an adjustable volume control.

This is a very cute mobile. We had chosen it because it had everything we were looking for, lights, sounds with volume control, movement, and remote. We are now returning it because if you want this to help put baby to sleep, it will not. You have to have the volume on high to hear the music over the motor. Just an annoying loud motor is what you hear on the soft volume of the music. The projection is nice and bright and the music has a pretty tone to it, but it is just way too loud.
I would not recommend this to a friend.

MGA Bratz Adventures in Learning Globe (English)

MGA Bratz Adventures in Learning Globe (English)

From MGA Entertainment

Take a trip around the world with the Bratz. This totally rockin’ globe has three fun learning modes, and is packed with tons of great games and activities. Simply touch the included airplane pen to different locations on the globe to learn about that location. Hop from country to country as you learn fun facts about each place. There’s never a dull moment when you’re traveling with the Bratz! Requires 4 “C” batteries and 1 “AAA” battery, not included. Measures 11″L x 11.3″W x 15.5″H.

I bought this product for my daughters. It is hard to point to smaller states with the pen as the tip is a little broad and the voice is not that clear. The room should be very quite to understand clearly what the globe says. Otherwise it is a good educational toy. My girls love bratz and that is the reason I bought this toy.

Blonde Suzie – Baby Love and Grow Doll

Blonde Suzie – Baby Love and Grow Doll

From MGA Entertainment

Pretend play is no longer all make-believe. When you feed and hug Love and Grow Suzie, she really grows from a baby to a toddler! Love and Grow Suzie “recognizes” her food, and tells little mommies what she wants to eat. Respond to her with lots of love and care, and she’ll grow from 16 to 20 inches tall. Her hair even grows from short to long! And just like a real little girl, Suzie loves to sing songs and play games. When you want to start the fun all over again, Love and Grow Suzie reverts back to a 16″ baby doll. Requires 4 “C” batteries, not included.

I purchased this doll for my granddaughter and was surprised at the quality and size when it arrived. The doll is beautiful and the price was amazing. It arrived fast and in excellent condition. Great experience.
