I love this CD. I bought it for my 4 year old and we have a blast dancing to the tunes making up new moves and "rockin the house" as my daughter says! This is one fun CD. If you haven't seen the movie its a must we enjoy trying to act like the characters in the movie and singing along with them. This CD gets more play then any other CD we own at this time from me and my daughter!

Super cute, good quality outfit both mama and daughter love. Mama +: easy to through on, can use for both cold and hot weather (add leggings long sleeve, jean jackets and boots,or wear on its own with some flip flops on hot days). Toddler+: now she has her own "purse", zipper pocket to store little do dads (or to moms dismay, snacks to fool mom into thinking you ate them), fun colors, soft

I purchased this for my four month old daughter. She loves stacking and I stacking them and she loves that each ring has a different sound and texture.

I really love that one is soft, because it gives her something to chew on. She loves the little cat on the top too!!

I purchased the Mellisa and Doug dish rack set for my two year old.  She is now almost three and its held up really well.  She is pretty gentle with her things, but the quality seems decent.  It's made of metal (except the utensil holder is made of silver colored plastic), and the dishes/utensils are a vibrant red, blue, yellow, green.  The dishes/utensils are good quality, not super study (I worry that my two year old ---almost three year old will break the tines of the fork, but so far they have held up!)

My daughter loves to match the colors in sets, and since our play kitchen (kid craft uptown espresso) is lacking in counter space--we actually use it as a dishwasher rack inside the dishwasher (see image). It fits great, but I did put down drawer liner so it didn't mark up the white pullout board of the kitchen.

My daughter also loves the sponge and soap (the bottle is a tad thin--but kinda fun cause there is a hole in the top can suck in air (kinda like you do with those silly bath toys).  And they work great for role playing while washing dishes/wiping the counters.

In short "WE" are happy with the purchase.

Toddlers love Miss Pattycake with all her songs and fun entertainment.  We love her and we this double feature is great.  My girls always like her a little more than the boys, but it is good toddler entertainment for both while teaching about God's great love.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas 2006, when she was about 18 months old. The reason I am just writing this review now is because she has just seemed to rediscover the doll. She played with it a little when she first got it, but not as much as I thought. My husband had no problem with the software or downloading, but he is a computer whiz. My daughter will be 3 in March and is really starting to enjoy it now. I paid $35 for it and still thought it was worth it. It definitely has a full list of names (my daughter's name is Rhiannon and I usually have a hard time finding it). You can personalize Dora with 3 friend names, favorite foods, drink, animal, color, songs, stories and games. She is loving the fact that Dora is counting down to her birthday in 2 months. Even as I am writing this review, she has Dora in her lap and is reading her a story. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars only because they could have added a few more stories, songs and games to the list. It does get repetitive after a while. All and all a great toy. Just don't expect most kids under 2 to enjoy it much.

I also want to add that the newer version (new clothes and hair anyway), looks a little nicer. We have the older version and the hair tends to get ratty.

I bought this piano for my daughter last year, shortly after she turned one. At one, the toy did not get much use, unless her older sister (7), my husband or I initiated contact with it. At one, my little one was still captivated by the Mozart Cube, which I have also reviewed.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Munchkin-Mozart-Magic-Cube/dp/B00004TFLB/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube</a>. However, once my little one approached 18 months, this toy became a favorite (though she still plays with the Cube). This piano is almost always on. My little one has learned which buttons play her favorite songs, and she plays her favorites ALL the time and dances to them!

It is true, as one reviewer noted, that older babies and young toddlers will find it nearly impossible to "learn to play" the music by Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Schubert provided on the piano. The format for learning is not particularly engaging: my seven-year-old can follow the blinking lights with no problem, but she's restricted to using her pointer fingers unless she had actually memorized the piece. Ultimately, you play the piece off-time.  But if you're using the piano for exposure to classical music and terms, and exposure encased in a VERY durable piece of plastic that can get dropped and clunked without breaking, this piano is quite phenomenal (and the batteries last).

The piano also has a quiz mode, which works a bit like a memory game. My little one never uses this feature. She's about choosing the music and listening to it, and she loves that she can turn her piano on and off according to her desires. She totes this around the playroom, placing it on tables, on the floor, or sits down and puts it on her lap, all the while listening to "her" music. She's particularly fond of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and she gets fired up with hilarious dance moves when she listens to the cancan. Essentially, this toy enchants her, which is all I can ask of it!

While she rarely tries to play the piano, preferring its music to her own, she often picks up her tambourine, or her maracas and accompanies a piece. So, though I'm a little tired of the limited number of musical selections and the voices of Quincy, June, etc., I have to rate this as a wonderful purchase. She loves this piano so much that she becomes downright offended if any one else tries to play it--we'll be working on the concept of sharing once she turns two!

I highly recommend this for little ones who seem interested in music: it gets them up and dancing; it gives them a sense of control, as they get to choose the piece that will be played!

i was surprised at how much my 4yo daughter loves this tea set.  we have the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fisher-Price-Laugh-Learn-Say-Please-Tea-Set/dp/B001IEYXAA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Say Please Tea Set</a>, and the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Green-Toys-Tea-Set/dp/B001543YEY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Green Toys Tea Set</a>, so i wasn't sure how much use she'd get out of this one.  the fisher price set makes a water pouring sound and has fewer pieces, while the green toys tea set (made of food grade plastic like this one) seems to have a nicer feel since the plastic is slightly heavier with a matte finish instead of a smooth finish like the melissa and doug set.

for whatever reason, this bella butterfly set is she the one uses most.  she loves butterflies, and there's a butterfly motif on the creamer, sugar bowl and tea pot and the spoons also have small butterflies on the ends.  also, i think she finds the fisher price set rather limiting, because sometimes she prefers to brew coffee vs tea, and she knows my coffee pot does not make that gurgling sound.  the green toys tea set is too adult for her, because she says it's 'boring'. :)

i love how this set is made of food grade plastic so i don't have to worry if she actually tries to drink water or milk from these cups.  highly recommend!

This was for the kids, but Mom says they like it!

I originally purchased this for my 6-year old daughter. A local toy store carries this and has it on display for kids to play with while parents shop (and I'm sure to entice the children to bug their parents to purchase it). Of course I found a better deal on Amazon so I purchased it right away. Truth be told, I enjoy it almost as much as she does! My 2-year old daughter really enjoys it as well. And I've found that when my 6-year old has her best friend over, this is the first thing they play with! And they play for such a long time. I love it and am so glad I purchased it.

Side note: I would absolutely recommend purchasing a container (ours has a lid) to store the sand and toys. We put it all on a half sheet size cookie sheet and it contains any and all messes very well. Have fun playing!

My daughters love this doll! After reading the other reviews, we decided to be very careful with how we used this doll. We did not teach either of the girls how to turn the doll on or off. They play with her all the time on their own, but only because she is not turned on. She is only turned on when we are in the kitchen to help them take care of her and to monitor the mess. Despite the supervision and clean-up this doll requires, she was still perfect. We have a new baby in the house, and her big sisters love to spoon feed their Baby Alive while we spoon feed their baby sister. Diaper changing doesn't often happen at the same time unless we plan carefully, but this doll has been a great tool to make our girls feel more involved with all the baby stuff going on.

We have two Baby Stella dolls, the infant with beige skintone, which my daughter received for her first birthday and the older Baby Stella with black pony tails and cream skintone, that my daughter received a year later at her second birthday.

Although the infant Baby Stella gets played with more and has been owned longer, she is in better condition than her light-skintone counterpart. The both have begun to show wear at the mouth where the pacifier magnet is placed, but it is not as noticeable on the beige baby. The lighter one shows a dark spot that won't wash off, almost like a bad mustache, above her upper lip. For both, I have found the vaccuum to be a better overall cleaning tool than spot washing, it's just that the lighter skintone shows so much more dirt... and these babies are brought everywhere.

I love both dolls for the softness and overall design. We also own several sets of clothes and the coat/winter set gets the most use in our house. The pajamas are snug and harder to get on, but not impossible. They are all functional, fun toys that get a lot of play ans we would definitely buy other products from this brand again.

My kids (5, 3, and 16 months) love playing with the fruits and veggies.  My older 2 love cutting them and putting the back together, while my baby just loves to pull them apart!  This set gets played with every time we play with their play food.  We love the tray that comes with it and the knife is oh so cute.  They must feel like grown ups when they get to use that knife to cut their food!  We love it so much, that I bought this for a little girl's party we went to (she turned 4).  She absolutely loves it too.  You will be very happy if you decide to purchase this set!

We got a free copy of this book when our daughter was born, and within several months, it was her favorite thing. She loved it to death, so to speak, so we bought her the boardbook version. She's 16 months and version 2 is a casualty of love. I'm about to get yet another copy.
While the lyrics lack a bit if you want to teach your child about traveling or the world, the premise of the story is cute, and my child loves to have this sung to her. It is the first thing she picks up every morning.
If you have the patience to sing the "I'm a Little Teapot" tune over and over and over again, I would highly recommend this book.

Bought this for our almost 3 year old as a gift while I was pregnant. She loves it and enjoys carrying her baby just like mommy. She uses it often at home and brings it when we are out and about. The size works well and there is room for her to grow with it. Quality is great, it has been holding up very well for the last year. Still looks new.
