Kettler Cat Front Loader and Backhoe

WARNING:CHOKING HAZARD -- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Kettler Cat Front Loader and Backhoe
Does your kid love to dig in the yard? Well put away the shovels and put on the hardhat--the Kettler Cat front loader and backhoe is prepared to do the heavy lifting. The mini-Cat looks ike the actual thing, but is small to slot in a massive sandbox (though it is best suited for a slightly larger area, like the beach). One time seated, your kid can use the levers to operate the fully functional front loader, letting him or her scoop up massive chunks of sand, dirt, or snow. Or he/she can hop on the back finish and take the back hoe digger--with its stabilizer foot--for a spin. And the mini-Cat is no slouch when it comes to getting around, with a fully enclosed chain drive technique and oversized resin tires with long-lasting rubberized tread strips. Built with high-impact resin and featuring an adjustable chair, the Cat front loader/backhoe measures 65 by 30 by 21 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a three-year residential warranty (one-year institutional).

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Fun with Friends Musical Table

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Fun with Friends Musical Table
   by Adriana S
I am liking that it's a few different settings that include ABCs, music, an interactive actual life sounds and French with English translation. My only complaint about it is that it doesn't have a volume control like so plenty of Fisher Cost toys have!! However, I haven't been bothered by it, as the songs are not long and are actually cute. I find myself singing along with them often.

My son is 11 months elderly and received this toy as a gift. They LOVES it! It's a lot to entertain him with, and they loves flipping the computer open and shut. They laughs every single time.

I would definitely recommend this toy, it is great.

I am liking that the ABC setting includes numbers, . Each individual number can be pressed on the phone. My son also has the Leap Frog Learn and Groove Musical Table, but it doesn't have lots of the different features this table has.

Playhut Beauty Boutique Play Hut

So when he unwrapped it at her party they opened it up & sure it popped in to place & it's plastic rods that reinforce it so it stays taut. Then the third rod serves as a hinge on the door so it swings open & shut. There is as well as a tiny plastic holder at the top of the door where you can insert a sign. They made that says " Carin's Playhouse." So cute! He loved it! It was such an ideal gift I decided to order another for my other cousin who is also turning! This item can basically be broke down & stored.

I was looking for something fun & different for my cousin's year birthday. I came across this & thought it would be a fun & different gift. I was one time worried about it for a few reasons one) will he use it? six) will it be in the way? But hen I read in the description that it was a "pop-up" playhouse. I have seen hampers that work in the same way so I thought this would be ideal! The relatives lives in their first (starter) home & didn't require the playhouse not be used because it was massive or in the way.

I will be ordering this product again next time I have a toddler's birthday celebration to go to! For the cost, the product, & how much they enjoyed it, it is ideal!

LeapFrog Learn & Groove Counting Maracas

           by Sandra k
I gave these to my 6 month twin boys a few days ago. There is a battery operated maraca & that rattles with no lights or other sounds. They were not originally interested at all in the maraca that rattles. They also took a short time to warm up to the that is battery operated. Finally, they both have taken a liking to it. It is not their favourite toy but they will probably grow in to. Today, of my twins was dancing & shaking both maracas, so I think they have his seal of approval for this toy. My other twin still only likes the battery operated. They both enjoy switching from mode to the next. They also have tossed these toys in every single place in the house & so far no destroy. I'd say these are long lasting. They having tossed them down the stairs or on to the first floor hardwood floors like their other toys finally go yet, but otherwise, they do see to hold up well to the abuse they have already endured.

Very simple to make use of. More youthful babies can use it, but with supervision. I bought it for my 5yr elderly grandson's birthday. They said it was his BEST gift.The adults were even having fun with this rocket. It won't shoot if held at an angle, so you don't must worry about them aiming it at someone. My grandson is VERY hard on toys & they snapped off the launcher post the next day, most likely because they was left alone to play with the rocket. With that said, I still recommend this toy, but if the kid is under 7 or breaks toys basically, I would recommend supervision. I will probably buy another, but keep it at my house so my grandson can play with it when they is here.

Playskool Explore and Grow Busy Ball Popper

Playskool Explore and Grow Busy Ball Popper
         by Sandy S
We bought the older version of this toy brand-new at a garage sale a few months ago. My son (now 18 months) enjoys it and loves to press the button and make the balls fly out. Like other reviewers said, it IS loud and annoying. But the actual downside is that my curious tot likes to substitute other items for the balls. So we have had chocolate chip cookies, socks, bouncey balls, markers, wooden blocks, and, worst of all, those round Crayola ta-doodle markers shoved down inside the tubes. Four times there is a blockage, it is impossible to get it out around all of those curves in the tubes. The top of the toy (the slide) does pop off--which helps some--but the bottom half is glued together and doesn't open up to retrieve stuck items. They have literally spent HOURS trying to get ta-doodles out of there. TIP: We have tried everything...the best method for getting items unstuck is to put a bunch of balls that basically fit through the pipes in to side and shove hard to make use of them to squeeze the stuck item up through the other side. Oiling the stuck item by dripping vegetable oil down on it also helps.

Bottom line--if your kid loves to stick objects down holes, this probably is not the best choice for your household unless you plan to oversee its use constantly. It is a fun and entertaining toy, though!
