Melissa & Doug Deluxe Mix 'n Match Peg Puzzle Bundle

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: Melissa and Doug

These puzzles are great and colorful. They are nice because I was able to separate the pack of individually wrapped puzzles to give each one as separate gifts. My 2 year old really enjoys her puzzle. My friend's daughter also really enjoys her puzzle. Great price for these puzzles!!

Playskool Magic Tambourine

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: Hasbro

December 15, 2007
This toy has little to do with music and a lot to do with coordination and strength. The 2-year-old for whom it is presumably suited must: 1. catch on to depressing a button before shaking the toy; 2. have the muscular stength and aerobic endurance to shake the toy vigorously until the tune has come to its conclusion; 3. possess the motivation to attempt either of the aforementioned steps.

I frankly was wasted after shaking it violently for the entirety of "Oh, Susanna," so I'm not sure what the remaining six tunes are (and in no shape to find out). From the opening bars I was able to recognize Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," but the typically cheesy single-note sound provides little motivation for a huffin'-'n-puffin' grandpa ... Read More:

Melissa & Doug Flower Power Wooden Bead Set

I haven't actually given this gift to my daughter yet who is 3 1/2 years old. I am saving it for christmas. Just looking at it through the packaging though it appears as though it's not the real cheap stuff if you know what I mean. I anticipate that she will really enjoy making her own jewelry and that it will hold up. the pieces aren't teeny tiny and I think they will be easy for her to thread the beads through herself with my help.

Fisher-Price Rock-A-Stack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
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....

LeapFrog Learn & Groove Alphabet Drum

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: LeapFrog

Sometimes hits dont make it trigger. Have to whack it pretty hard

A more sensitive sensor should be used. However, son enjoys this (6 months).

Music mode and drum mode is kind of annoying. Background music and not the same sound every time. I would suggest Drum mode, and then options to have different sounds selected instead of rotating.

My one-year old likes this, although the lever is still a bit difficult for her to pull down all by herself.

Fisher Price - Little People Lil' Movers Airplane

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: Fisher Price


My son received the Fisher Price School Bus for his first birthday and LOVED it, so I figured he would love this airplane as well. He enjoys swapping out the little people and opening and closing the doors. A fun toy, cute sound effects and song.

The only downside to the airplane compared to the school bus is that the opening is a smaller than the bus. For little hands, it's not a problem, but when you have all the airplane seats filled, it can be a little tight...

Lamaze Garden Bug Wrist Rattle/Foot Finder Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: Learning Curve

These are absolutely adorable. The wrist rattles attach easily with velco and the others are cute socks. The rattling part could be a bit louder but my granddaughter loves to look at them while she wears them. A good product especially for babies before they can easily hold their own rattling toys.

Fantastic toy for my almost 4 month old. As soon as it was in front of her she stared at it for good 40 minutes. Excellent toy for car rides.

Sassy LeapFrog Baby Curious Crab Rattle

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Preschool
from: Sassy

February 15, 2007
This is a very cute rattle for babies over 6 months, as it is hard plastic on the red face portion. A young little baby toy it is not! When your child has more coordination with his hands and doesn't hit himself with the hard section, it is entertaining for them.
