Great learning toy especially for special needs kids I bought this for my autistic boys probably about 2 years ago. None of the parts were defective, and it is in the same condition it was in when I bought it. Not sure how fun it is, it is very simple, but they still play with it and their therapists still use it as a tool. We got it for color and shape sorting, and it was a great teaching tool. I have to disagree with the comment on quality, unless it has changed alot in the last 2 years although it looks exactly the same. I thought the quality was great. I have had problems with wooden pegs coming unglued in other toys like this, but not this one. Its lasted two years.
miYim I bought this for my one year old son. It's gender neutral and he likes rattles and chewing is a big thing for him. But he actually didn't take to it right off. Despite the fact that this set is for a baby, my toddler liked it more. The rabbit is a perfect doll size for little hands and it regularly has tea with all the barbie's she's recieved during the holidays. Plus she must be able to tell the difference in quality because she prefers it. The rattle in the rabbit and duck is too quiet to attract a one year olds attention for long. So my baby played with the box putting the items in and out over and over despite having other toys. So it wasn't a complete loss as far as he was concerned. One year olds love to sort and the box is pretty and sturdy so that if I can ever wrestle it away it will make a great storage box. There is this huge myth that kids need lots of toys. It's not true. You are better off buying your kids a few good quality items than lots of cheap toys. Kids like and value their toys more if they have less of them. I made the mistake of giving my first child lots of toys plus she was the first grandchild on both sides. She was inundated with gifts, too many choices aren't good for a little mind (think, National happyness peaked in our country in the 50s when we didn't have that many choices). She plays with almost none of her toys and doesn't seem to value them at all. My one year old realizes that these are his toys and he only has a few, he values his toys and plays with them constantly. We have a stacker that my daughter never played with as a baby that saw so much use from our son that we had to get another one. It was stepped on one too many times and a piece went missing (I think it got accidently donated when we were giving away toys)so I bought another. It was convenient but of very poor quality, he didn't like it as much as the other but still used it enough that we have since went threw it too. So I wised up and bought a wood one. The difference in play is astounding. You'd think I wouldn't be able to tell a difference at all with a baby that's one. But he will scold her in baby babble every time she plays with his toys or hurts his toys. He will crawl after her complaining the entire time! I see this item as being a good deal despite the fact that it isn't big with him now because I think he will appreciate the blanket when he gets older (my daughter has a carebear blanket she recieved at 1 but she didn't take to it till 2 yrs and she loves it still) the head on this one is a bit big for his age, size can be intimidating. Plus kids really don't attach to tiny blankets unless its a pacifier issue but my kids have never had that problem. The ducky hasn't been played with alot because he already has a teether he loves so much I had to buy another one that looks just like it for when its in the laundry basket. We call it Mr. Gnomey, its by under the nile, the baby buddy is its name I think. Cotton teethers are way better than plastic for chewing. You can't really chew plastic, plus the chemicals eww. No BPA approved teether there, go organic cotton they will actually chew on it longer. Don't use fabric softer and use a natural detergent and that way you can toss it in the washer. I think the duck would be popular if he didn't love Mr Gnomey so much but he does use the duck ocassionally so I think he is warming up to it. He likes the ring shape. If your child doesn't have Mr. Gnomey it might be worth the etire price just for the ducky. Sometimes baby's need time to accept the change of new toys. Other times they don't, like small wooden cars and wooden ABC blocks (they are hugely obsessed with both) th ducky might be one of those. I think this is good for toddlers 2-4 or older (kids of all ages love dolls), so I am giving it five stars because my very picky daughter loves it. Plus its a great price and its organic so I don't have to worry about chemicals when he chews on it!
Works great! This works great for rashes! The price from this seller seems a bit high though, so would probably be cheaper to buy from another seller or local store. Great product overall though! I recommend it!
Beautiful drapes I have almost the entire Mulberry collection for my daughter's room & it is GORGEOUS. These drapes in particular are truly beautiful & I get tons of compliments on them. If you buy the bedding set it comes w/ the awning for the drapes which I didn't realize so ordered it seperately. I have an extra one unused if anyone is interested. Feel free to contact me...but yeah if you have the Mulberry bedding &/or decor I strongly recommend getting the drapes to complete the look.
Great Help This warmer is wonderful! The best part is definitely not having to go downstairs in the middle of the night to get bottles or heat them up. I fill the measuring tubes before going to bed at night, and then all I have to do at night is dump in the water and turn it on. I don't even have to turn on the light. By the time I change my daughter, the bottle is ready to go.
It does take a little trial and error to get the amount of water right, but the guide is pretty accurate. I keep a glas of water next to the warmer to put the bottle in if it does get a little too warm. A quick dunk and a shake and it is ready to go.
I have always used this warmer with the Playtex bottles with the disposable liners, and I have never had a problem. This is one of the best baby items I have.
