Activity Toy Reviews

Never mind the bad review from the mechanically handicapped person. It is just a rubber balloon and not very difficult to fill. The plugs and straws in the 30 or so balls I have purchased over the years have been just fine.
This is a great toy for kids because all the crying and pain associated with getting hit with a ball disappears with Gertie. I have played many tag games with them and very rarely has anyone been hurt. All ages can play great variation on games, like basketball and vollyball or just a game of "keep it up" or "crack about" they are all great fun.
You do have to remember that the softness of the rubber does weaken it and makes it prone to popping on sharp object but hey they only cost $6.99, what do you want?

We bought this tent/tunnel combination for our daughter's first birthday and have not been disappointed. She and her two-year-old brother LOVE it! It's very easy to assemble and take down. (under 3 minutes) You won't believe how small it is for storing. I bring it out on rainy days when we can't get outside to play. I've crawled through the tunnel a few times, or wiggled through it, I should say, because it is not adult sized. There is plenty of room for two adults and two children in the tent. I would buy it again!!!

My three year old daughter loves this doll and will sit down with her and brush her hair. She never would play with baby dolls until I bought this doll. For one week straight, she would not put the doll down. I recommend this item to all children.

My daughter has fallen in love with the Little People DVDs. I came across this item, along with the Eddie doll & DVD. My daughter was so excited to get the package and the plush dolls. She carries them everywhere and sits with them when wathcing the videos!! Defintely worth the money and the great price I paid for the items.

We adopted our daughter, Sarah, from China just 8 months ago. Sarah turned two Feb 6th! She got a package in the mail from Uncle Tracy, Aunt Cindy, and cousins Crystal and Ashley. It was a Sonya Lee doll with CD! Sarah really loves Sonya Lee! It is the cutest doll with Asian features! It has a soft body and soft plastic head with black hair and a pink ribbon! Sonya Lee comes with a DVD and a backpack with her cat. Too adorable!

We bought this toy for our daughter when she was 7 months old.
Now she has 1 year and has been using it �every day! since she got it. She just doesn't gets tired of it.

The first months she used it without the legs.
When she learned to stand up, we added the legs.

We have this table in her play yard, next to the Leap Frog Learning Table. When she got the Leap Frog table, she liked to play with both of them, but now she uses this table a lot more than the Leap Frog's.

She likes to put her little toys in the center, to see how they spin.

The table is very VERY loud and it doesn't have a volume control.
Our house's rooms are ample, so the sound doesn't bother us; but if you plan to use it in a small room, you can add some tape in the speaker. I tried it and it worked, but I took it off because the sound keeps my daughters attention.

Overall: 5 months of everyday fun, and still going on! Excelent!

My son got this for his first birthday and it was an instant hit. He loves watching the balls spin and every new toy he gets he takes over to his ball table to see if it spins. This is one of the only toys he has recieved that he has never lost interest in and uses every day. He is a rough little guy, as all boys are, and it has held up quite well! My only complaint was that it is a little loud but a piece of tape over the speaker solved that problem. I would recommend this toy to any parent. Whether you have a girl or boy any child who loves balls will love this toy!!

I bought this toy for my 18 month old daughter because she loves balls. It was an instant hit. BOth her and my 3 year old love it. It is fun, the balls move around as they press one of the buttoms they go down, they spin, they are dropped into a hole, there is so much going on when the kids play with this toy that they have been playing with it for a while and they still can't get enough of it. It is surely one of those toys that most kids keep playing with even after a few months.
Besides, it's colorful, the music is fun (somehow loud but I don't mind), and durable. I would definitely recommend this toy to anyone who wants an excellent quality toy for kids to have fun without spending a lot of money.

I had high expectations for this toy to keep my daughter busy and happy in the car during our daily commute. This was not the right toy! The display screen is similar to the leapfrog drum (red dots in formation) It's a great idea (especially when driving at night) but half the time I can't even figure out with the picture is because it's moving too fast or it just doesn't make sense. In the music mode the song changes or starts over any time the steering wheel is moved. So you can't pretend to drive if you want to listen to the entire song. The alphabet and number mode is similar to the leapfrog drum as well, where it just says each number or letter as the wheel is turned. Nothing to exciting about that. I have noticed alot of the leapfrog toys that teach number or letters all do & sound the same, they're just sold in a different form (drum, ball, steering wheel,...etc). A little more variety might be nice.
Maybe my expectations were too high but the toy went right back to the store!

My 2 year old loves this! It is a great toy for taking long car rides. He received this as a gift last year but he did not actually start to play with it until recently. Mom and dad like it too because it keeps him occupied in the car, wherever our destination is, and at home. Nice toy!

My mother bought one of these for each of my daughters (ages 18 mos and 5 years) after seeing the ads on TV. They loved them - at first. They doodled, I washed. They doodled more, I washed more.

- NOTE: you have to wash the bears separate from other items, so if your kids doodle a lot prepare yourself for a lot of extra loads in the washing machine.

The markers more or less come out, but the material the bears are made of is mottled anyway, so it doesn't matter much if it doesn't all come out.

THEN, one day as I was washing the doodle bears, other animals suddenly became "Doodle animals." It was awful. In the amount of time it took me to load the washer and start it, a whole menagerie of stuffed animals were transformed - never to be the same again. I realized then that although I understood that they should only draw on the Doodle Bears, the toddler did not get that key piece of information.

If you do buy a Doodle Bear, do the parent a favor and do not buy one for a home with a toddler.

My other complaint is that the bears are not cuddly at all - a big downside for my older daughter who likes to sleep with her favorite toys.

I purchase the Teen Trends outfits for my Mini Super Dollfie (Luts Delf Kid), and they fit great, minus the shoes. This outfit is PRICELESS! The little pleated "skort" is to die for! It looks great with the black velvet corset tank, the striped stockings, and any plain shirt, all from other clothing sets. Very cute, great for mix-and-match!
