Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper

September 06, 2006
I bought this toy for my daughter last year for Christmas. She was 1 1/2 at the time and she LOVES it. The music is her favorite part. The air flow isn't great on this. It causes the balls to fly around and you have to pick them up and put them back constantly. Several occasions my daughter has gotten hit in the head and face by the balls. I've also had problems with it coming apart when she tries to pick it up and then I have to put it back together. You would think that Playskool would have made it so that it wouldn't come apart so easily. Overall though, it's a fun toy and my daughter ejoys it, she thinks that picking up the balls is just a game.

Baby Einstein Takealong Tunes

I bought this for my son just after he turned seven months old. He's well over a year now, and this is still one of his favorite toys. He'll press the buttons until he finds one of his favorite tracks, and he'll smile and dance to it. As others have written, the sound quality is excellent, the tunes are not annoying to listen to, and it's also got a volume setting, which is a big plus, of course. This was a sort of random purchase, but I'm very glad I made it, since it's not only given him hours of fun and enjoyment, but I think it's also contributed to his love of music in general.

Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube

My husband is a music professor, and we LOVE this toy. It was given to us as a gift for our now 3-year old, in 2005 (I mention this because a 2003 review complained about the music quality). Unlike most electronic toys, which we generally hate, this one was on-pitch. It allows children to listen for different voices in the harmony. Ours broke eventually (our daughter liked to throw it down the stairs, in addition to playing with it), but we are going to buy a new one.

Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym

We bought this for my son when he was 3 months old. He LOVES it. He plays with this quite a few times a day. My only complaint is that it is really hard to store away. It doesn't fold up to the way it was when I got it. Other than that,it was worth every penny. The toys are great attention grabbers for a baby.

Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Sing and Go Choo-Choo

I got this toy for my baby when she started to crawl. The locomotive is the main source of joy for her at the moment because of the songs it plays and all the buttons she can press to hear the songs. Animals make cracking sounds and that keeps her attention for quite a while. They are easy to clean as she has to taste them every time. Very recommended.

My 3 month old is just starting to appreciate the chewable-ness of these keys. I like that the "ring" part is thin enough for him to grab, he likes that they almost fit in his mouth!

Melissa and Doug Wooden Shape Sorting Clock

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Early Development Toys
from: Melissa and Doug

June 12, 2006
One of my kids is interested in telling time, and another is interested in shapes. They both like playing with this clock.

I read a lot of reviews that complained that the 5 has six sides and the 6 has five sides. Mine must be a later model, because the 5 has five sides and the 6 has six sides. But even if they were the old way, I wouldn't have been bothered by this at all: the 2 has four sides and the 9 has four sides and the 10 has four sides and the 11 has four sides and the 12 has ten sides---so the number of sides don't correspond to the number on the shape, and they're clearly not supposed to.

My son loves this play mat. It has nice music, lights, colors, and toys. I also really like the fact that I just have to bend it and snap 2 snaps and it is completely flat so I can store it fast and easily!

Fisher-Price Rock-A-Stack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Early Development Toys
from: Fisher Price


who could have thought that a simple stack can keep baby so happily occupied. No matter how many times i put the stack together, she will rush to take the rings off. Great for developing motoric skills. My baby takes one ring in each hand and tries to bang them together or shake them above her head. The variations are endless, especially when there is a nice music to dance with. The toy is light, durable (rings are being thrown right and left) and easy to clean. Cant wait for her to actually put the stack together....
