VTech Dora the Explorer Laptop

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: VTech


I Bought this as a Christmas present for my neice. I knew she liked Dora so that was a plus already. When she unwrapped it she screamed her head off because she had wanted it for ages but her parents couldn't afford it. Anyway she was 3 years old and was starting school the next year. Now she is 5 and everytime I see her she speaks to me in Spanish. She says 'Ola' and 'Gracias' She can even say thankyou and Your Welcome. I Reccomend this to all the little kids out there that are aged 3 - 7 years old. The other review about the screen being black and white.. well I ont think it matters. You can still see it and the keyboard is fine because the school my neice ad daughter go to they teach the kids Capital and small letters so anyone could understand ... Read More:

Lamaze - Freddie The Firefly

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy for my son when he was born as he is a baby that is always awake so needs lots of stimulation. This has been one of the best buys as he loves the squeaker and the colours meant he could see it when he was a few weeks old. It also rattles and he is now able to get hold of the rings at the bottom to chew. I actually put this toy in the washing machine when it fell out of the car and it was fine - the squeaker still works. A must have for those with active babies.

BT Digital Baby Monitor 100

October 31, 2007
I thought this had happened to me then I discovered that (at least in my case) it is a feature. There is a mode where the unit can be set to only turn the speaker on when the sound goes above a preset level. In order to set this level. Press the button bottom left with the picture of an ear on it. Then quickly use the volume buttons to set a level. All the way up turns the "feature" off. It is very easy to accidentally turn this feature on!

Fifi and the Flowertots - Deluxe Forget Me Not Cottage

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Vivid Imaginations


IN A NUTSHELL WHAT A BRILLIANT TOY.
AND THE LONG VERSION - I bought this product when it first appeared on the market. It was my eldest girls present,(who's now 5) but my 3 year old son and two year old daughter love it. It has also taken some hammering from their older cousins (6 and 7 year old boys)! All is still intact and we have wonderful games of naughty Stingo getting up to no good and the tots baking and playing. My sister in law and I thought it was a bit amusing that the older boys wanted to play too but we did decide that with all the bits and pieces you can do,(like putting the cakes in the oven and when you pull them out they have risen), there are not many boys toys out there that offer such a lot of simple working parts which stimulate the imagination ...

My First Ready Bed - Thomas & Friends

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Worlds Apart


I ordered the ready bed for my son who is 2 1/2 to use while we are staying at the grandparents as he loves Thomas.
We had great fun blowing it up and it looked lovely. The problems came once he got in it as we found he was already too big for it!
We both were very dissapointed it was not bigger as the decription said up to 4 years old. Having said that he is pretty much the same size as his 4 year old cousin but I always thought he was a bit small.
I have now got the junior size ready bed and that looks like it should last him a while.
The Thomas bed is great if you have small kids but if yours are bigger than average go for the Junior Ready Beds.

Fisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Fisher Price


I have bought this bouncer for my daughter when she was six weeks old and she instantly adored sitting in it. She has been in her bouncer for 15-20 minutes every day and now at three months is still entertained by it. She loves both the continuous mode and the rattle mode. The hanging toys on the toy-bar are well-placed; even at six weeks she could reach the monkey's head (with the help of one of the rings that I'd placed in her left hand) or kick the parrot with her legs. Apart from being entertained, the rattle-mode has trained her eye-hand-coordination and has helped her learn about cause-and-effect.

I would definitely recommend this bouncer. When the baby is in the bouncer a mother has a chance to do things that are not always very easy while taking care of ... Read More:

Lamaze - Balancing Bug Stacker

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development and Learning
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy as i was looking for something a bit different from the whoozit type soft toys for my 8 month old. It has not disappointed. The 6 bugs are all brightly coloured with various legs, wings etc for little ones to grab hold of. They each contain a magnet which not only enables them to stick together in a totem pole effect but also produces a not too loud rattle in each one. They are neither too heavy nor too big for the littlest hands to pick up and they will love knocking down the towers that you have carefully constructed as well as banging pairs together and ultimately building their own towers, naming the bugs, learning colours etc. My only, very small criticism is that i assume one of the bugs to be a spider but it only has 6 legs! and a challenge to parents ...
