Amazing Animals Sing and Go Choo-Choo

Each animal car is full of rewarding activities to engage baby’s attention. The engine car has leaf- shaped beads that slide from side-to-side and the smallest car has a built-in trapeze for the monkey. A light-up smokestack delights the eyes and when pressed the train moves forward in a straight line. For hours of amusement, the animals have movable joints, textured feet, teethable ears, and rainstick sounds. This toy is made from sturdy plastic and can withstand harsh child play. It rides especially smooth over hard surfaces, but works on carpet too. Best of all, should you suddenly feel like you’re in a zoo, there is a power- volume control for quiet play. The Go Choo-Choo Train requires three C batteries (not included) and measures 23-by-7-by-13 inches (LxWxH).  Toot! Toot! Here come the animals, riding around on a musical choo-choo train. This fun motorized train helps babies ages six months to three years learn about animals through song and play. Simply place one of the three small friends in the engine car to one of four amusing songs about animals. Baby will love to crawl along with the train as it lights up, playing music and sounds. The Go Choo-Choo also encourages curiosity as the baby figures out how to make it go. Each train car has a unique feature that captures your precious little one’s attention and keeps them busy. You can choose between a sitting mode for the youngest baby and motion-activated for older play. Watch out parents, the tunes are so catchy, you’ll soon be humming them yourself!   Read More>

Rainforest Jumperoo

The Rainforest Jumperoo is designed to help encourage healthy development. Moving, spinning, and jumping in a baby jumper enhances large motor skills. Secondly, the variety of textures integrated into the rainforest toys provide tactile stimulation, while the bright colors and fun music engage your child’s visual and auditory senses. This educational system also enhances learning through discovery; baby’s actions make things happen, helping him to understand cause and effect. Finally, reaching and grasping onto the baby jumper’s toys fosters eye-hand coordination.  Parents will appreciate the quick take-down and portability of the Rainforest Jumperoo–the frame pivots to a nested position so it can be tucked away when not in use, and it simply folds so you can carry it from room to room. And no doorway is required to use this toy, making it a breeze to set it up anywhere.  Everything your baby needs at play-time can be found in this Rainforest Jumperoo. Its newly designed frame both allows you to open it up from the top, and lets the seat rotate 360 degrees so baby can play and interact from any side. A fun seat and toys at five locations on the platform engage baby all the way around, and an electronic toy at the front has motion, music and lights that can be activated by baby spinning a drum. (Mom or Dad can also activate an option for four minutes of continuous play.)   Read More>

Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage

The Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage includes two modes, which are easily selected by sliding a button at the top of the toy. Younger babies will enjoy listening to the music and watching the lights blink. They’ll also love hearing you sing along with the songs. The “sing-along” mode plays five different fun songs, which are activated by shaking the magic microphone or pressing any of the buttons on the musical instruments.  (We were happy to find the toy comes with lyric cards.) As your child gets older, they can learn to sing along with you, too. The Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage features a large picture mirror, framed by exciting blinking lights at the top and an “audience” of smiling, cartoon babies at the bottom. Each instrument has moving parts that activate sounds. The toy comes with a “magic” microphone, which is really a rattle. Shake it, and the sound of the rattle will activate songs and other fun sounds. Musical instruments with happy faces sit below: a guitar, a keyboard, a drum, and a trumpet.  The lights blink as the music plays, making a spectacular show for your little one to enjoy.    Read More>

Elmo Live!

Interactive Fun for Kids of Many Ages
The wide variety of things that Elmo Live! can do makes him a great toy to grow with your child. Younger children can engage in cause-and-effect play by simply pressing Elmo’s buttons to see what he does. Our two-year-old tester was especially delighted with the silly sounds Elmo makes when his nose is squeezed. Understandably, her attention meandered during the somewhat lengthy stories. However, an older child will have the attention span and comprehension skills to appreciate them, as well as the silly jokes that Elmo tells.
