5 comments about Hasbro Playskool Let's Play Together Go & Grow Giraffe.

1. My 14 month old twins got these for Christmas, and they've enjoyed them so far. They like to face each other and rock back and forth. I don't really see that the toy would be much fun as a "chair" (facing backwards), but they enjoy it as a rocking horse. They are very cute although we were surprised they required about 30 minutes of assembly on Christmas morning (slow since the girls were "helping" and we had to put two together).



2. My daughter who is 15 months (21'') old enjoys this toy and sits on her rocking giraffe; she even stands on it (sometimes on one foot!) and tries to balance herself on it, does a few acrobatic things!!! My floor is carpeted, so, I am not too worried about her falling down. She also sits her other toys on it and rocks them.
   
   For taller toddlers (more than 25''), it might be be too small.
   
   It is a good buy and kids would certainly enjoy it.



3. I bought this for my son when I realized he loved a similar rocker at his daycare. He wasn't able to get himself on or off it yet, but I put him on it, his face lit up in much happiness. Now that he's a bit older, and can get on and off on his own, he often chooses to play with it over other big toys. I think giving him the sense of freedom and independance to make a toy move himself by rocking is a big confidence booster. Perhaps parents don't think of toys this way, but I do. Not only that, but it's just fun!



4. My now 13 month old daughter received this for Christmas when she was 10 months old. She immediately enjoyed it. I agree with the previous review that it is not much fun as a chair, but she definitely enjoys rocking on it and playing with the crinkly and squeaking ears. It is small enough that she can now get on and off of it by herself and light enough that she can scoot herself around the rug a bit as well. Overall, this is a good, simple toy.



5. My daughter just turned one. We bought this for her to channel some of her energy! So far, though, she is spooked every time we help her onto it and wants to get off. She has started warming up toward it and will sometimes sit next to it and rock it by holding onto the handle. But my visions of her rockily happily while I make dinner haven't materialized! Maybe in time... Otherwise, it is cute, durable, and fairly easy to assemble.

5 comments about Hasbro Playskool Lullaby Gloworm.

1. I had a glow worm when I was younger and my first duaghter was never intersted in them. I decided that my baby duaghter would get one. It has a cute little blue shirt and blue hat. It plays music and lights up. It doesn't seem to play for long, but I was messing with the button on the back and it seemed to change the lighting time. I gave it to my duaghter who is 4 1/2 months old and she loved it. She was hugging it and making her hug noise. I would buy it again and will if this one gets its use.



2. I got this at my baby shower for my little boy. He's now 2 years old and STILL loves this toy! "Glowey" has stood up to all a rambunctious little boy can do to him, and has taken many rides in the washing machine without any problems. When my son is having a roudy, "terrible" day, "Glowey" is one of the things that will get him to calm down and sit quietly and play.
   I've seen some of the other reviews say they found the toy too loud, I've never really thought it was that loud, and my son goes to sleep every night with "Glowey" playing him to sleep. I reccomend this toy to everyone!



3. My son absolutely loves his gloworm only problem is no matter what I do it plays songs for 30 seconds tops and it usually never makes it that long. We've switched the button over to play mode, followed the instructions they give if it's not functioning properly to remove the batteries and reinsert, tried new batteries and it still doesn't work. We ended up buying the Ocean Wonder's Soothe & Glow Sea Horse which he likes just as much. I also was told by Hasbro today they will be sending me another gloworm because they believe mine is defective. So hopefully I'll be able to update my review later on.



4. This toy is so cute and my daughter loves it. Sometimes it's hard for the little ones to get to the music to play but other than that, it's a pretty good toy. It's kind of like her first baby doll. It goes with her everywhere.



5. It's a cute toy and I have seen a lot of small girls just stickin to it all the time and especailly at bedtime...music is soft and the face cute...i'm sure all tiny tots will love it as their bedtime toy...

5 comments about Play-Doh Creativity Center.

1. I really REALLY love this play-doh item. It's a great activity center and table that my sons love to play with and on. It even gets better since the top comes off and you can store a lot of play-doh items inside. It's great to be able to store everything in one convenience spot. It's also very portable and easily stores in the trunk of my car for trips. The only problem I have with this item is that the work center only allows for it to be knelt in front of and cannot be used as a laptop work center (which would have made it perfect for travelling). The bottom of the table only has a niche carved out instead of a passageway for legs but then I guess this would have cut down on storage space. I am not complaining (too much). I recommend this item to keep on top of your kid's play-doh and keeps them entertained too!



2. My 4-year-old daughter loved it. It brings a lot of stuff to play with, but for children who have lots of play-doh toys, it has the extra space to store these also. Tidy, neat, excellent!



3. My 5 year old son recieved the Play-Doh Creativity Center for Christmas and he LOVES it! We played with it for 2 hours today and only stopped because we were hungry. It has great molds and we love the little removable play sheet that allows you to make faces and other things. It also comes with a good amount of play-doh colors.
   I highly recommend this toy, especially if your child enjoys making things with his/her hands. Also, it's a lot of fun for Mom and Dad, too! I felt like I was 5 again!
   By the way, to sweeten the deal, get the 50 color pack of Play-Doh to go with the Creativity Center.



4. My six year old got the Creativity Center for Christmas and he loves it. The tray can hold a lot of play-doh. We bought extra cans and there was plenty of room to hold them all.



5. Bought this as a Christmas gift for our niece and nephew, 5 and 4 years old. They loved it. I loved it. My husband loved it. Their mom loved it. It was ready to go the second we got it out of the box.
   
   The little play tools are fun - big hits with the younger set were the ability to grow and cut "hair" from a small plastic head, the many colors of dough included with the set, and all the little rolling pins and cutouts available. These things were fun for us, as well, but possibly the best toy from the adult point of view was the small piece of plastic, shaped like a kind of meat pounder, that is flat on the bottom and allows one to easily pick up small pieces of playdoh from flat surfaces. Its like a playdoh magnet. Very cool.

5 comments about Tonka Toughest Mighty Truck.

1. This is a great truck! It is made of metal, just like the Tonkas were made when I was a kid. It is very sturdy and strong. My kids love sitting in the bed of the truck and being pushed around the house. I see this truck getting loads of use.



2. I am the grandmother who purchased this toy. I have bought many, many Tonka products over the past 25 years. I have never been disappointed. These things can take anything a kid can dish out, such as smashing big steel dump trucks into each other at the speed of two boys running as fast as they can. These tonkas will last until my grandsons have grandsons.
   Thanks, Tonka!



3. This toy is rated for three yrs. and up, but we went ahead and purchased it for our "more of a toddler then a baby" 16month old son. He loves its. The larger size makes it easy for him to operate and he loves filling the bed with anything that he can get his hands on. This has held his attention better then any of the other toys that we have. It's entertaining for him, but also for us, as we love to watch him zoom around the house making engine noises with his mouth.



4. I love this truck, oh yeah, so does my 2 year old son and 4 year old daughter! We also have the loader. A perfect pair. These toys are truly tough and just the right size for the kids and for hauling and pushing things around. We all love them!



5. My mom has never bought me a tonka truck. Ever. Until recently, and to be honest, it was been everything I've dreamed of after 15 years. Granted, I've outgrown the 'vehicool' as I like to call it, but everything else was top notch plastic. The truck is very strong, very mobile, and very durable. Maybe the truck was really good because I've been waiting for it for a LONG time. But I'm so glad she got it for me. OK. Jokes aside, Tonka Trucks are really really cool, this should be every kid's first pick.

5 comments about Hasbro Playskool Chompin' Mike The Mower - Colors May Vary.

1. My 1 1/2 year old grandson won't let this mower out of his sight. It was love at first sight and he will not let it go. Inside or out, it doesn't matter. It is a winner



2. I read all the reviews for this lawn mower and shopped around. Some of the reviews left negative feedback for some of the phrases that Chompin mike says. I dont see how in the world they can even hear the phrase, everytime you push this thing the mouth makes the LOUDEST chompin noise ever. My son loves everything about it. He has been using it inside since he got it. Way to cold to go outside, so maybe i wouldnt notice so bad outside. But goodness its loud inside



3. My twin 4 year olds only wanted mowers for Christmas. Oddly enough it is a seasonal toy and I hoped I could find it online. Well these are a real hit. A very fun toy and they will have a great time helping Dad mow. I do suggest these are outside toys, only because they are quite loud. Overall great toy for the price! Would definately recommend.



4. I purchased this toy for my 1 year old after watching how much fun she had with push toys in the store. It turned out to be perfect for her. She has a blast pushing it all over the house. That being said, it did not turn out to be perfect for her mother; the mower is incredibly loud - even when it is turned off. Just the chunk-chunk sound of the big head moving back and forth is enough to drive a parent insane.



5. This is a cute toy for little ones to push around. It does make noise, but not too much - isn't it suppose to be like Dad and Mom's? Really good item when you get it on sale like I did. Full price is a bit much.

5 comments about Hasbro Playskool Honeybee Hop.

1. This is such a simple, but great toy for toddlers. My 2 and 1/2 year old daughter just loves jumping and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect toy. It's perfect for those cold winter days we can't get outside and she needs to expend some energy - just let them jump away! I love that it has a slow and fast setting, the slow is perfect for kids still learning to jump. The toy is a bit flimsy, but it hasn't been a problem for us, lots of toddler friends carrying it around and it hasn't broken yet! Definitely recommended.



2. My kids, ages 2 and 3, received this honeybee toy for Christmas. Three months later, it is still played with daily. This was definitely the runaway hit of Christmas. They started out just chasing it, but now they're starting to jump over it. Our 6-yr old neighbor will come over and work up a sweat jumping over it for 15 minutes or more. It's great for those days you're stuck inside all day and the kids have energy to burn. The 'Flight of the Bumblebee' song has definitely started to drive my husband crazy, though, because they will literally have it going for 30 minutes or more straight. It has also withstood some wear and tear. They've dragged it around, pretended it was a horse stick to ride on, and bent the stick--it's still working just fine and the stick always seems to straighten out. They love this toy!



3. My 4 yr old got this yesterday as a gift and she LOVES it! I've had it set up and she constantly goes back to it. My older daughters love it too and they are 7 and 9 years old. They've jumped over it, chased it around, had the bee chase them, run in and out of the circle, and even got Grandpa to jump!
   
   What a great way to get exercise when it's too hot to go outside in the afternoon (or too cold up north). You won't regret this purchase.



4. I got this for my girls just for the heck of it. They really have a great time running from the bee and jumping the bee. They are 6 and 9 years old and I thought maybe too old, but they are having a blast with it. They have played with it every day since it got here. They laugh and giggle, which makes it worth every penny. It is really great exercise for them. We need more products like this on the market that get kids up and moving around. Very glad I made this purchase.



5. My 3 yr old niece has this toy. I heard good things about it so I bought it for my friend's two daughters: ages 2.5 and 4.5. They had an amazing fun time with it. The younger one kept bumping the bee but it started up again. Both girls and us adult had a good laugh. Other friends came by with their kids. What a big hit! But I do have to admit that the stick is kind of flimsy. Overall a great fun toy. Very entertaining. It works best on hard wood floors.

5 comments about Hasbro Playskool Step Start Walk 'n Ride.

1. I brought this toy for my 10 month old girl, she is learning to walk on her own and takes her 3 year old brother chairs and pushes them across the floor. So I thought this toy would be perfect for her. So far she only walked behind it a few times but loves the toys on it and like to be pushed on the ride on. My three year old also loves this toy even though his legs are too long for it. I paid 20 dollars for it and it is well made for the price and the length of time a baby can use it.



2. This is a cute walk 'n ride toy and it seems durable. It was SUCH A PAIN to put it together though. Instructions were clear it was just hard to cnap pieces into where they belong. I hurt my hand doing it and I'm not an idiot that can't put things together (we are IKEA experts in our house). My 10 month old seems to like it and she has already been pulling herself up on and and trying to take a few steps with it in the walk mode. She has no idea what to do with it in the ride mode but there are a few fun things to do on it. It's not an activity toy as much as it is for walking/riding so it might not keep your abby occupied unless she/he is pulling up on it and using it for that purpose. But my daughter is finding that great fun so far. I guess it's worth the trouble of putting it together. HAve fun!



3. I bought this product for my nephew's 1st birthday. My brother reports that it is used every day with enthusiasm and is helping my nephew learn to walk. He loves to push it around all over the place. Sometimes he gets it going to fast and his little legs can't keep up, but that doesn't stop him. It's a wonderful buy for kids.



4. Our son showed no interest in this toy as he was learning to walk. He much preferred cruising with furniture. Now that he is fully walking, he occasionally pushes the cart around, but still doesn't enjoy sitting on it as a car. I don't think its a particularly bad toy, its sturdy, colorful, and does what it is suppose to do. It was just something my son wasn't excited about.



5. Cute little car. My 10mo son doesn't walk yet but enjoys playing with the spinners and buttons. It's too light to pull up on so when he tries to stand with it he topples over and then it's not fun anymore. I'm sure it'll be better once he can stand by himself to walk with it or ride with it.

5 comments about Hasbro Playskool Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage.

1. I bought this for my daughter who is 14 months old. And the reason I did is because she has shown an interest in being in her own little space. (she liked to go up under her jumper where it was semi-closed in.) After my husband and I put it together (45 minutes tops.. including stove & dining set) my daughter was so excited about playing in it! She loved that we could look thru the windows in at her and open the door! You could even look thru the chimney (has a mesh lining to keep stuff from falling in).
   I think overall that the quality is very good and durable. Although you cannot use it for rough play. It has a metal frame with plastic connecters (no tools needed for assembly). From the picture I thought the house was plastic, but its actually fabric that completely surrounds the frame. The frame fits inside the fabric and is zipped in.
   The house is light-weight and can be knocked over or easily moved aside. The 2-part door closes shut with magnets that hold it closed. Inside the fabric of the door is cardboard to make it stiff. My daughter didn't realize how flimsy it was and fell right thru it.
   The stove is adorable and simple.
   The set I bought (off of an auction website) came with the table and chairs dining set. I couldn't tell from the picture, but they are inflatable. I thought they were stuffed. The table cloth is not attached.
   Educational value: For playing house. Pretending to cook and clean. Lots of imagination value!
   The extra accessories are expensive. But the quality is good.



2. This is a great toy investment. We like to keep the number of toys limited in our house so we can keep down the clutter. This one has passed the "keep" test! Our daughter spends an hour or more a day going in and out of it caring for her dolls, reading books, or cooking. She has taken ownership of this space and it's a wonderful get-a-way for her. She loves the easy to use door and the peek through windows. She is almost two and it's by far her favorite play item in the play room. Don't wait until 3 to get this house. Worth every penny. It seems plenty durable for her use.



3. We just received this yesterday, I put it together immediately and I haven't been able to get my kids out of it since! They love it! My 17 month old daughter loves playing in it, and my five year old calls it his "fort with flowers on it". It was fairly easy to put together, only took me half an hour or so, and that's with three kids hanging on me! The only thing I would change about it is to find a way to attach the two pieces together. When my daughter sits up against the wall and leans back, it tips over with her in it. It would be a little more stable if they attached some how, but it is still a wonderful, adorable little playhouse. Now we just need to get all of the accessories!



4. I purchased this gift for my 4 yr. old granddaughter. She saw it advertised on TV. It was not available or sold out in most stores. I was very happy to be able to order this online. She has it set up in her bedroom and we have purchased additional pieces for it. When purchasing be advised it is only the cottage. But, you can purchase other sets to fill the rooms.



5. If you want to get some sort of house like structure for a child and don't want to spend the hundreds or even thousands it costs to buy a doll house or club house, buy this. It's simple yet very similar to a doll house type structure. The only downside is it can tip fairly easily.

5 comments about Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper.

1. The toy does not work as advertised. The balls go all over the room and must be collected every single time. The balls do not even begin to "launch" on ours unless all 5 are loaded. If less than 5, the balls just stay in the tube.



2. This toy has been around our home for at least a year and it's still being played with! And most parents know that children attention span as it relates to toys is short! My 5 & 10 year old love helping my infant put the balls in and watch them pop out (I admit, I do too). The music is whimsical and catchy. The only down side is that when the balls gain momentum, they pop out all over the place. And if you have a tiny one that can't retrieve the balls, you'll have to do the footwork. It wont last long though, soon your little one will be chasing all the balls and having a good time!



3. I hate this toy, it's plastic and loud and I don't think it offers the motor skills value of some other toys like the ball pounder. However, it's been one of the most popular toys we've owned. My daughter and all her friends LOVE this toy, and have been playing with it since she was a new cruiser to now, as a 3+ yo. This is sure to be a popular gift for any toddler.



4. I'm not sure who likes this toy more...our son or us, his parents. We just love turning this on and letting it pop all over the place. It keeps us all busy for quite a while. My son enjoys it a lot and is only 10mo old. He puts the balls back and pushes the button to start it up....we just have to fetch the balls when they spew all around the living room!



5. I purchased this last Christmas for my daughter. After 5 months, she is still having a ball with it (no pun intended). I have also bought it for my friend's children because I am so impressed with the fun and learning value of it. Highly recommend :) You won't be disappointed...unless you hate somewhat noisy toys ;)
