Nest & Stack Buckets

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Early Development Toys
from: iPlay

July 04, 2006
My daughter got this when she turned one and didn't touch it. But now, at 16 months, it's like a brand new toy. She puts things in the cups and rattles them around, knocks the towers down when I stack the cups, and she puts the cups inside each other, and takes them out of each other too. She really enjoys this, and the toy is incredibly versatile. I highly recommend this toy.

Baby Einstein Discover and Play Color Block

I bought these at a yard sale and my son loves them. He especially likes the yellow one with the sun/mirror and the different textures. I like them because they stimulate learning and can be used as he gets older for stacking.

One of baby's first and favorite books, and it is washable! I gave 1 less star than perfect because I'd like to see some diversity in the people - not just your typical white family ;)

I bought this product for my 4 month old. The pieces lock in and stay in place. The mat is very durable and perfect for tummy time. Pieces wipe clean easily and are firm, but soft. I would definitly recommend this product to parents with babies.

Chicco Music 'N Play Table

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Early Development Toys
from: Chicco USA


This is a great toy--my grandson has played with his for nearly a year now, from age 1 to 2. The tunes on the piano are numerous enough and good enough not to drive adults crazy, even with repetition. The twiddly items were his early favorites for getting gratifying sound result from minimal manipulation. The blocks base makes it a whole new toy. From the outset, we saw that the legs were wobbly and could also easily envision him trying to climb on top, so we never attached them, just left the yellow base on the floor and it's been just fine. (also stores handily under other furniture). As the second birthday approaches, I would advise buying more Chicco blocks, as only a few are included with this toy.Chicco Basket of Shapes

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Three Little Pigs Play Set Soft Baby Toy

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

Step back in time with this classic, the Three Pigs, and bring on the fun! The chubby pigs are the perfect size for a toddler's hand to squeeze and let out a squeak. They can hide in their color-matched soft homes with plenty of doors and windows to open and close to teach early prepositions like "in," out," " back" and "front." Kids love to stuff the big bad wolf (and all the pigs for that matter) down the chimney and watch him magically appear inside the house. Carry on little conversations with your pigs as your toddler chooses one to speak for too.

As a speech pathologist with Play on Words, I look for toys that have a lot to describe. Babies and toddlers' receptive language (understanding) has been outpacing their expressive language ... Read More:

My son has had this toy since he was 3 months old. He's now one and still loves it. It's his crib buddy.

Very cute!! Well made. These blocks are just what we were looking for. Traditional style, but not too plain. I wish they were offered in pastel colors!

I got the 18-pack for my latest kid, Floyd, and no matter how long I kept him tied to his TV chair, he still was as dumb as a rock after watching these things.

Lamaze Chime Garden

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

January 01, 2007
I bought it because like another reviewer, I hate obnoxious sounding toys. I've been pleased with the Lamaze toys, and this was no exception. The crinkles on the flowers are entertaining and good for teething. The lights catch my daughter's attention. She's not so big on setting off the chimes, but when she's unbearably tired of being in the car, this portable toy will catch her attention when no other toy will do. I keep it in the car just so she has something fun and special there - and it doesn't make me crazy while driving!
