The best toy my baby owns

Advantages: see review!
Disadvantages: None

...My son recieved two of these for christmas and it's had so much use already I'm pretty sure I'm worthy enough to review it. When we opened it up for him I was pretty sure it would be another one of those mediocre baby toys that is a bit of waste of money but how wrong was I? This toy is one of the best I have seen around and I am so impressed with it. The actual toy is a soft, colourful caterpillar who has a big smiley face and a green and white hat on. It's body is divided into six pieces and each one is a different colour and has a different number on it from 1 to 5. The feet of the caterpillar have a couple of creatures on them relating to the different numbers, so for example one blue bird and five red caterpillars. The caterpillar's neck is green and has the different modes on it. Starting from the top there is an on...

Review of LeapFrog Baby Counting Pal

An ideal toy for babies

Advantages: Fun, educational, stimulates all the senses
Disadvantages: None

...! The added bonus is that it repeats quite a few times so I get some washing in! All in all, it wasn't expensive, she's now six months old and getting more from it all the time. I think it will grow with her rather than some toys which they can grow out of too quickly. Its one of the best £15 I have ever spent. One other thing is the cleaning bit, it hasn't been dropped in food or anything as yet, but the usual drool and milk has come out with either baby wipes or a damp cloth and it still looks new. PS The volume isn't too loud either so it isn't one of those toys you'll be saying 'sorry darling, it doesn't work anymore!' Enjoy it, we certainly are....

Baby Born - My daughters Favourite Toy

Advantages: Hours of Play
Disadvantages: Play food - gets messy

...What is Baby Born? Baby born is a doll made by Zapf Creation and comes in many different versions. My daughter has the original white Dolls and the ethnic doll, she liked the first one so much she wanted another one. When i brought the dolls i got them as a package which included The doll dressed in a baby grow, Dummy, potty, Nappy,bottle, bowl and spoon and some food for the doll, yes you can feed them. The dolls are approx 43 cm and you can feed them (Only use Baby born food), You can change them as the food does go through the doll and they wet themselves, they Cry real tears too. She also Squeals a little by squeezing her arm. This doll does not need batteries to work which is ideal. At the time of buying these dolls they cost approx £29.99 but are now a lot cheaper in Argos they sell for £19.99. I have found this...

"Toys" For All Ages

Advantages: Great humor and non-stop adventure.
Disadvantages: You should not operate heavy machinery while watching this show!

...This movie brings out the inner child in me! When I first saw this movie, my aspiration became to one day work in an awesome toy factory like the one in this show. Robin Williams is absolutely hilarious as Leslie (Williams) embarks on an childlike adventure with his strange yet comedic sister (Joan Cusack) as they try to bring back the joy and purity of their father's toy factory after it is taken over by their uncle (a stern military man). You will relive your dreams and fantasies as you experience the kind of toys that most of us wished we had. From dolls and stuffies, to war toys and videos games - it's all here! Have you ever seen a Sea Swine or Hurly Burly Helicopters or Maui Waui Fake Vomit or a Woozy Helmet? If you haven't you've got to see this show. It is a totally goofy and crazy flick that will have you laughing out...

Review of Toys (DVD)

Toy Story: One for the children.

Advantages: Good gameplay, alright graphics, fun for the kids.
Disadvantages: Unmemorable music, will become quickly boring to adults.

...Age Rating: 3+ Around £3 - £5 on Ebay.co.uk. Minimum Requirements: Double Speed (2x) CD-ROM Drive. 486DX2-66MHz or faster processor. 8MB of available RAMC12MB recommended. 10MB free disk space. Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or later (Windows 95 compatible). 8-bit sound card. 256 colour Vesa, Pci or other local bus video. (There is no multi-player) I'm sure everyone's seen or at least heard of Disney's Toy Story movie which is about toys coming to life when the humans are not around. This is a video game following the storyline and creating fun levels to play. I'd had bought this years ago when I was younger and had promptly given up after becoming stuck on one of the earlier levels, four to six years later and a pound sign next to the title on Ciao! (It's all about the money) I'm loading up the game on my laptop...

Review of Toy Story (PC)

  Play with the Toys not Groceries!

Advantages: Great value for money.
Disadvantages: Only the larger Tesco stores stock them.

...of very cute dogs, cats, or unicorns for £4.97. If you want a pet that isn?t too much trouble this Christmas how about getting an own brand long-haired barking dog, complete with grooming set for £8.43. * Brightly Coloured Toys for Babies * Tesco?s excel at these, in my opinion. They seem robust, able to stimulate manipulative skills, and are fun to play with. I am putting up photos of what I bought on yesterday?s shopping trip for you to see. This first picture is of an activity cube, with a face of a red cat on the front. There are 4 rotating bars holding the front and the back of the ?cat? together. One of the two top bars has a blue star with a star shaped mirror in it, which can be rotated. Another has 2 rings, one yellow and one blue, which can be spun around. On the bottom two bars there is an egg shaped purple...

Review of Tesco Toys

Baby toys are always fun.

Advantages: Cute, good for helping babies development.
Disadvantages: Drains batteries like there is no tommorrow.

...My brother bought this for my daughter a while ago now. She was only 2 months old when he bought it saying that he wanted to make sure he got it for her before anyone else did! Magic rattle Pooh is one of the millions of Winnie the pooh toys you can get. It is for babies aged 6 months plus. It sells in the shops for about £25. Being made by fisher price you can find it in most shops but they definatley sell it in Argos, not that I am biased, that just happens to be where my brother got this one from. What is it and what does it do? The toy comes in two parts. There is the bear which is about 9 1/2 inches tall. He is a soft fleecy material and is wearing his customary red top and holding a small rattle. There is also a larger rattle which looks the same as the one Pooh is holding. This is about 7 inches long. to the initial touch...

Review of Disney Baby Magic Rattle Pooh

Tesco Toys

Advantages: prices are good, can be ordered mail order too, good choice
Disadvantages: limited maybe in smaller stores

...I have been very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the toys for the prices that they are sold at in Tesco. They sell a fair range of toys. I find they are very definately for boys or for girls, don't do such a range of unisex toys (in my branch anyway). I have a son, and I have bought quite a lot of his toy cars and cuddlies (when baby) from here. The best value in my eyes is the wooden train sets. Trains/carriages are 99p each (they are the magnetic sort) and you can either buy a basic figure of eight track or a larger set that has trees, people, cows etc in. They have a wide range of accessories like - tunnel, level crosing, ticket office/station (with sounds), platform, turntable etc. The extra's start from about £3 each and are not that expensive. You can also buy extra packs of track, both curved and straight...

Entertaining travel toy!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

... Background When Baby Hope was little she used to cry every time I put her in her car seat. I used to hate putting her in only to hear her little cry. I used to feel so guilty so I decided I should try to make her car seat time more fun for her so I headed off to Toys r Us in search of a toy or something which I could fasten to the handle of the car seat so she could see it and interact with it. I came across this Garden Friends Curly Toy and just couldn't resist it for it was so bright and colourful and really very appealing. The toy This is basically a strip of curly soft rings which you can wrap around the handles of your car seat or your pram or cot. It pulls apart as it is velcroed in the middle which helps to attach it on to places. It has a flower at each end and then 3 toys hanging off the rings by black...

Review of Garden Friends Curly Travel Toy

Excellent teething toy and safe

Advantages: Natural rubber, natural dyes, easy to hold, pleasant patterns, suitable for newborns, safe
Disadvantages: None

...press on the tummy and you can pretend that the giraffe can walk and talk :) My son loved it when he was a baby. He is now one year and he continues using it for teething from time to time. I recently bought the Giraffe for my friend's newborn baby as I could not find a better toy suitable from newborn to toddler. It is quite a useful toy. Price: it costs about £12.00 incl. P&P. In my opinion it could have costed slightly cheaper so more parents could afford to buy it. Many parents go for the teething rings they can buy at the local chemist or at the supermarket which are not always made from BPA-free material. I have not seen teething toys made from natural rubber at the chemist yet....
