Kid-O Bilibo - Blue

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Early Development Toys
from: Kid-O


My kids are doing all kinds of things with these toys, as they should be. They are sturdy and resilient and can be used in water, dirt, sand, just about anywhere! They have held marbles, cars, pompoms, snacks, water and tiny animals. They have been used as hats, stool, spinning seats, water buckets, animal caves, baby rockers and mountains.

Great imaginative toy!

We got this toy for our then 3 month old son. It is bright and colourful and easy for him hold, shake and chew on. It is easily his favourite toy.
I find oit durable, educational and versatile.
Perfect present for a baby shower or a young baby.

Dance Baby Dance! - Classical Stacker

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


My daughter's daycare has this toy (I think thye usually use it without the batteries...). At 13 months, it is simple for her to stack the rings. I believe this toy is more developmentally appropriate for this age than the toy that I grew up with (just like what we have at home), which Fisher Price calls Rock-A-Stack. On the Rock-A-Stack, the pole is slanted, so the rings have to go on in a particular order in order for them to all fit. That skill comes much later than the ability to stack. With this toy, the rings can go in in any order, thus isolating stacking as the relevant developmental skill.

Sassy LeapFrog Baby Colors and Tunes Octopus

As I expected my baby boy at 4 months old really took interest in this toy. He is teething and likes to chew on every appendage, even the ribbon "hair". He is delighted by the sounds, especially the rhyme mode, and works well to divert him from cranky moments during play. The back of the octopus' head has a velcro opening, which enables you to possibly wash the fabric body, but I have not tried to do it yet. However, the Yellow tentacle's touchpad receiver became broken after only a couple of weeks of very light play, which is disappointing. Overall, he does not seem to know the difference, and plays with it in various ways. It is a good toy for parent-child interactive play.

Lamaze Balancing Bug Stacker

This stacker sticks together easily because of the magnets, but does not stack easily because it's always top heavy, and falls over. Would not recommend as a stacking toy.

The usefulness of this product really depends on the baby. My daughter HATED tummy time and this product made no difference. I wouldn't pay full price for this again without trying it out first. It's a great concept, but doesn't hold up in reality. And it would only be useful for a month or two. Maybe the mat would be fun later without the lady bug in the middle...

Cloud b Twilight Constellation Night Light

I think it's a great product. My son is seven months old and seems fascinated by it. I also like that it comes with batteries-that's convenient. The one thing that is a bit frustrating-the stars get blurry if you have it far away from the ceiling, even five feet away, which is a normal height dresser. Also, it needs to be in the center of the room, so that makes it difficult to have it up close to the ceiling. Overall, great product-just frustrated by placement of turtle needed for optimal results.

Sassy Baby's First Books

from: Sassy

October 01, 2007
Our baby has lots of books and we make many available to her in her crib to read when she wakes up in the morning or after her nap. However, out of all of the books, these are the ones that she reads (and likes getting read to her) again and again. We only gave them to her after the plastic smell wore off after about a week.

This set is nice because the books cover a few developmental levels - at first, when she was 3-4 months old, she only responded to the repetitive words and rhythm in "Hello Bee, Hello Me" and has gradually starting liking the other books. Now, at 12 months, she loves to leaf through the photo album (at least after I got around to getting some photos to put into it) and lift the flaps on the Peek-A-Boo Book. I was ... Read More:
