54.5" x 43.5" Soft-Sides My first Gym (Colors May Vary)

plastic is cold in the winter and it still stank. if the baby spits up (or other bodily functions should leak) all the little creases become tiny rivers and it's a pain to get them cleaned out. her brother, one year older, got into it and caused it to spring a leak. don't even try to patch it.

Melissa & Doug Stacking Train

Love it, love it, love it. I bought this for my son's second birthday. His eyes lit and and he played with it 1/2 hour straight. I finally had to take it away for bedtime. First thing in the morning he was asking for his train. My 4.5 yr daughter loves playing with it too.

He can't put the train back together perfectly yet, but much better than I expected. Great learning tool, great puzzle, great for hand eye coordination. I only wish it had a pull string - I might have my husband add that on.

Cranium Wonder Works Super Story Recorder

What a great toy! My 6 year old daughter and I have such a blast with it. She also had a friend spend the night, who is 8 and she had a ton of fun with this also. The sound recording is great and the stories are so much fun. This is an electronic type version of Mad Libs, however even easier because it just asks questions such as your favorite sweet, best friend, etc, instead of adj., nouns, etc. A great way for kids to use their imagination and have tons of fun and laughs at the same time! Highly recommend!!

Infantino Matching Colors and Textures Puzzles

My little girl loves these! More than any other toy, it is these she always asks for - I end up hiding them so they don't get scattered, and save them for just before bedtime when she needs to wind-down and do something quietly. She is only just grasping the concept of matching the cards up (at 17 months) but loves the pictures and the textures, shows me the cards and makes the animals sounds etc.
Definitely great value for the amount of time she's played with them. Would recommend from around 14 months - or when they stop mouthing everything.

When I recieved the toy it did not come in its own box and it did not seem to do the things the product description said but it still looks fun enough for my 5 year old nephew to get at Christmas but I doubt he will learn much from it. Still it is good.

Discovery Exclusive Ant Gel Habitat

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Learning and Education
from: Discovery Channel Store


I teach a class of very active first grade students. To enrich our studies of insects, I ordered the Ant Gel Habitat for the classroom. The kids and I were absolutely amazed by just watching the ants tunnel through the gel. More importantly, there is absolutely no maintenance...the gel is their food and water as well as their habitat. The gel tunnels did not collapse as sand will in a traditional ant farm. I will definitely order this product again!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Chomp and Clack Alligator Push Toy

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Learning and Education
from: Melissa and Doug

October 04, 2006
Wow, what a bummer. We have lots of Melissa and Doug toys, and I've always been very happy with their quality and durability. This one however, is shameful! My first clue should have been as I was taking it out of the box, the top layer of cheap wood splintered off. Had I bought it in a store, I'd have taken it right back. This was a birthday present for our daughter though, and bought online, so I thought "Well, it's just one strip of wood." Our child loved this toy right away...that being said, within the first week the entire area of blue wood began splintering off. All over the floor. Not only could my daughter have choked on a piece, but she could have scraped or cut herself, etc.
Cheap craftsmanship aside, my daughter has lost her balance ... Read More:
