Perfect for toddlers and children alike

This balance bike is absolutely perfect. We bought it for our son at 26 months old and he is riding it 12 months later at 3 years old. He is quite comfortable on a variety of terrains and will coast when going downhill. The first 2 days we had it, our 4 year old rode it around. He was then ready to take the training wheels off of his big bike and was riding like a champ within 10 minutes. This sturdy balance bike gave him that missing piece and I suspect our younger son will easily ride a regular bike once he's tall enough to get on the seat.

My toddlers (2 & 4) love this book. Theyre both into robots and they enjoy having a book with easy to move gears and bright colors to play with. As parents we like the durable pages and how the internal workings of gears are revealed with each page. Its a fun go-to during play time.

My 1 1/2 year old absolutely loves this book.  It is his current go to book which he demands we read at every nap and bedtime.  Like all other lift the flap books, it is tempting for toddlers to tear the flaps off, which is unfortunately what mine did to the cat page.  Ahh toddlers...a little scotch tape magic and it was as good as new.  My son has mastered all of the animal sounds thanks to this funny and entertaining book. Would highly recommend for any toddler.

I have three children, and this is a book they have returned to again and again, both to have read to them and to look at on their own. The illustrations are bright and cheerful, with the different pages showing different pages and the things commonly found there (e.g., the store, at home, clothing, etc.). Our first copy fell apart when child #2 was still a toddler from near constant use and being slept on, sat on and so forth, so I purchased a second one and it remains a hit with the current toddler. (Incidentally, my oldest child, was so attached to this book that when I bought the new one, she started crying when she saw the bits of the old one in the recycling bin.)

This is a perfect gift for a toddler. I bought one similar for my oldest Granddaughter (she's now 5), and she still plays and uses it. This Christmas, I purchased this one for my first Grandson, who's 21 months. It's made entirely of foam, so there's nothing that can hurt them. As children adore anything that adults use, having a "my size" couch is an instantaneous joy for them. You can't go wrong by gifting this to a little one.

This was a surprise Christmas gift hit with both my toddlers.  My 18 month old really enjoys it.  It's such a simple thing, but it has a nice feel, nice colors and children love to stack the pegs (like legos) and knock the single towers down or stack them into the base.  My 3 year old also enjoys playing with these--not for long and probably in a very different way (learning different skills) than my 18 month old (he likes to build towers for my younger child or pretend he is making coffee and the peg is a coffee cup etc.), but it is nice to see them playing together with the same toy.  The one negative, which I can't fault this toy for per se, is that, as many of these sorts of toys, not losing the pegs and storing these neatly is difficult.  I wish this as well as other similar toys, came with a storage case or solution.  We have definitely been slowly losing the pegs and finding them in odd spots.  My children have never played with this one toy for long periods, but it is a nice part of some play time and has no annoying bells and whistles.  I wouldn't be surprised if this toy doesn't necessarily last long for either of my children, but I can also see them using the pegs for different things as they outgrow the obvious first use as well as the base as part of their kitchen or playdoh or growing plants etc.

We purchased this as one of our 17 month old son's Christmas gifts. He already has the regular Scout (whom he sleeps with every night and plays with first thing each morning). He was so excited to see another Scout. The little books are the perfect size for toddlers and since they're board books, they can hold up with toddler treatment. Our son actually likes to stack them up and carry them around. Wherever he puts them, they're usually all together in a little pile, which is saying a lot due to the way he keeps all his other books strewn about. He immediately fell in love with this Scout. He enjoys petting it's head and giving him big hugs and kisses. That alone was super cute.

We really like the way that Scout interacts throughout the story. As our son gets older and his attention span grows, we feel like this will be an even bigger hit.

The toy comes with 5 books. Each book is different and focuses on teaching something unique. We really like the one that teaches colors. On the collar are buttons that correspond for each of the books. On his paws are music and play commands. There are also buttons on Scout's back and the top of his head that encourage specific actions (pet my head to turn the page; pat my back, etc.). There are some fun new songs. The color song is our son's favorite. He loves to dance to that song. The music and story time has two option settings: regular and bedtime. The way the stories are done fit each setting. (Playful vs. sleepy)

We definitely recommend this toy to any toddler. If we could make one suggestion, it would have been to find a way to add on more story books later.

My children love these blocks. I bought this set for Christmas for my then 18 month old. My 7 year old enjoys playing with them too.

Like other reviewers noted, they aren't huge blocks. That wasn't a problem for us. I looked at many different blocks and brands before settling on this one. They aren't tiny, they actually fit perfectly in my now almost 2 year old's hands. They're perfect for her to use, manipulate, build and knock down. I would definitely supervise play with your child if they're the kind that put any and everything in their mouth or try and eat everything. The smallest of the set are the small colored triangles. Those could possibly pose a choking hazard, but if you're supervising play with these blocks, it shouldn't be a problem. I find the size to be just perfect for her. Actually, going with anything bigger might have hindered her being able to pick them up (she has very small hands).

 A lot of other brands are much smaller and aren't eco friendly and non toxic, many others are painted with paint I wasn't comfortable with allowing my toddler to play with, when I found this brand I felt confident they were safe if my toddler did decide to bite or chew on them.
These are great, eco friendly and I really can't complain.

My almost 2 year old lives these, she's played with them for months. My 7 year old also loves them. It's a great toy for them to play with together. Because of their age difference there aren't a lot of toys or activities that they like to do together. This solves that problem and gives them a chance to bond.  If you do have 2 children,  I would suggest getting two sets. Or if your child wants to build something more elaborate, I would suggest two sets. It's a 50 piece set, but you would want more pieces to build a large castle or other things. We only bought one initially and I wish we would have ordered two.

Overall great toy!

I have 4 children and have taken care of many more children.  All of my toddlers 3-5 maybe even some 2 year olds - LOVE this book.  It is very simple, but very interactive!  The kids laugh and become involved as they try to help Me-Me.  I've given this book as gifts and no one had heard of it and everyone is delighted by it!  It really is a fun and different, simple interactive book for toddlers.  Highly recommended.  I wish it weren't out of print!

We love this book in our house. The pictures are great, and its helping my two year old learn basic vocabulary. It features Jojo and his sister Lulu, and since my daughter is also a Lulu my kids get a kick out of it. Its very sturdy with a little handle on the spine - perfect for on-the-go toddlers. I also like the way its divided into chapters. Full disclosure - the author/illustrator is my uncle, which was why I ordered the book in the first place. But it really doesn't matter, we would love it no matter who made it!

A must-have for any toddler's library! A family member gifted this book to us and we have continued to gift it! Perfect for age 18 mos.and up!

My toddlers love the shapes and chasing the shapes around the room.  The three-year-old just picked up on the somewhat hidden faces.  The two-year-old squeals with delight by the shapes and colors that he runs his little fingers around.  Yep, we read this book during the day too; they cannot get enough of it!

I do not see how this is difficult to use.  Hold the book open with your thumb and pinky, then use a "torch" with your other hand.  You can easily make the shooting star cross the walls with two toddlers in tow.  If you have children, doing everything possible with only two hands, should be second nature.

This was the first Leslie Patricelli book I bought, and I was truly impressed with it. It has simple yet charming and humorous pictures that both my toddler and baby adore. And it is extremely effective at showing children the difference between quiet and loud. It simply places the quiet pictures on the left-hand side, followed by the loud pictures directly across on the right sided page. These pairs include: whispering/screaming, crayons/pots and pans, fishies/doggies, thinking/singing, snow/rainstorms, slippers/mommy's shoes, sniffles/sneezes, turtles/monkeys, birds/airplanes,libraries/playgrounds, and nap time/playtime. And like her other books, the last pages have a collection of quiet and loud items. The quiet items are: pillow, bunny, plant, ant, cloud, snail, and teddy bear. The loud things are: drum, horn, rooster, firetruck, burp, teakettle, and alarm clock. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it for babies and toddlers. Not only is it entertaining, it is very useful to teach toddlers the difference between the concepts of quiet and loud, and what quiet is.

This little barn yard set is wonderful for toddlers. As not just a toy but a learning tool also. My daughter is learning animal sounds in therapy so this is perfect. The little animals are adorable and their sounds are perfect. The little barn is just the right size for little ones and they can open and close it themselves. I love this and so does my daughter!
I received this item at a discounted price in exchange for my honest unbiased review, all opinions expressed are completely my own.
