Melissa & Doug Wooden Sandwich-Making Set

Cheap Melissa & Doug Wooden Sandwich-Making Set Review




i have two boys (4 and 2.5) who absolutely LOVE all their melissa and doug food toys. this is one of many items that we've ended up getting them because they're still obsessed with making every visitor lunch, dinner, dessert and everything in between. they've even forgotten all about the previous reward of a purchased tv show (on itunes) at the end of a good week (we use the melissa and doug magnetic responsibility chart which they also LOVE) and have decided that it's worth the wait to accumulate enough to buy a new food toy. for their age and energy level i find this to be pretty amazing :)

i'm also finding that my VERY VERY picky oldest son is actually trying new things to eat because he is so fascinated by the act of cooking. i feel like i'm a melissa and doug addict at this point! i would say the only down side is that they started getting their toys made over in china instead of the US like before, but so far i haven't been disappointed by the quality and the only a set of food, which was more plastic than I had hoped, it was a lot of ice cream, but (knock on wood), they are not destroyed it yet, so I stick to 5 stars for all the sets we have so far! ! :)


Tiny Love Frog Kick Mirror

Cheap Tiny Love Frog Kick Mirror Review




If you, like i, think there are enough flashing lights and beeping noises in the world already, and thus avoid battery-operated baby toys, this is a wonderful find. No batteries at all. Baby kicks the frog feet, and the little plastic fishies and turtles in the frog's belly slosh around. Simple cause-and-effect. Car rides lately have a lot less screaming and a lot more giggling.

I'm depriving this toy of a star because, as several other reviewer note, the mirror isn't so great. It's not easy to adjust. By dumb luck, ours it positioned so the front seat passenger can look over their shoulder and see the baby. The driver can sit up very straight and lean forward and kinda see the baby's face in a corner of the rear-view mirror, but at that point they wouldn't be able to see the road.

That said, if what you really want is a baby car mirror, just buy a baby car mirror. The Frog Kick Mirror is also a toy, and no matter how well you've adjusted the mirror, the whole point for the child to kick it. The mirror will not be fully focused for a long time.

In addition, your child should be large enough to be able to hit the toy to be very interesting, so it was not worth the purchase as long as your child, his legs are within an inch or so back.

Storytime Old McDonald FP Boxed Set

Cheap Storytime Old McDonald FP Boxed Set Review




Old McDonald finger puppets have provided lots of fun for my grandson and me. He's only 15 months, so he doesn't put the puppets on his fingers, but he's interested in them. While I sing the song and manipulate the puppets, he listens and watches intently and, of course grabs them. The puppets are strong enough to survive his little hands, yet artistically detailed. Each one is well crafted. I would recommend them to any family, since they provide a creative outlet for a child's language, musical and intellectual development. We look forward to put on your puppet show in the near future.

Cheap Bath Scene - Playtime Pals Review




My daughter will sit in the bathroom and play with them until the water in a bath of freezing and her hands as prunes. All the pieces fit into the bag it comes with, but it's a little hard for 4 years ago. I tend to get the last 2 or 3 for it. But it's better than clearance of all! Good toy!
