Activity Toy Reviews

I just discovered these dolls in time for my daughters 3rd b'day and she LOVES them.So far she has the Tamara and Erika dolls with the Birthday,Rainy Day and Bedtime clothing sets.She has yet to go ANYWHERE with out her dolls and their clothes.
They are the perfect chunky size and style for little hands.The dolls are very stable on their feet and ALL the clothing is easy to put on and take off(no tantrums).The hair on these dolls is wonderfully long(great for combing).
They are such cute dolls even her 12 and 15 year old cousins wanted to play with them.

My 2-year old just received this as a gift for her 2nd birthday. The dolls come with outfits can can easily be "snapped on" by a youngster, and hair they can comb. My only problem was I had to buy a second one for her 3-year old sister so they wouldn't fight over the one doll. They promptly go to bed with these dolls. The price is right and the accessories are fun for them. I most likely will pick up more...Great Toy!

My daughter received Tamara, Erika, and Elena for her third birthday and played with them all night, ignoring all other toys including her new Barbie. She could dress and undress them easily, and they stand up by themselves really well. Finally, a toy that is not frustrating. She is sleeping with them tonight - an absolute hit.

I bought this for my nine-month old because he was entertained by it in its box in the toy aisle. Upon bringing it home, I unwrapped it and found it a huge disappointment. 1) It doesn't activate very easily; you practically have to beat it with the bat to get it to wake up 2) It's pretty lame when the ball is firmly attached to the base; basically, it just teaches my son that it's OK to pound on his toys and 3) Even when it lights up on cue, it's pretty boring.

We're taking it back.

Since my family are all such huge sports fans, I was very excited to get this toy for my 6 month old. The toy consists of a bat, a baseball and a tee which the baseball sits on. The tee rests on a rocking base. The idea is that when you hit the ball off the tee, the base rocks and the motion activates lights and sounds. The tee has 2 adjustments, the lower (beginner) adjustment allows for the ball to "lock" into the tee so that you can't actually knock the ball off the tee, but if you make any contact with the tee/ball at all, the base will rock and the lights/music will activate. The more advanced setting allows the ball to rest on the tee without locking in. So that when the bat makes contact with the ball, it is an actual hit.
The problems I have with this toy are:
- the beginner setting is boring. the ball doesn't even move off the tee. so the toy is essentially a stick on a rocking base.
- the lights/music feature is very difficult for a baby to activate. On either setting, the base really has to almost fall over in order for the sensor to activate. We initially thought we just needed to change the batteries, but even with new batteries the sensor is not very sensitive.
- There is no height adjustment for when the baby is sitting vs standing.
Over all, I am very disappointed with this toy. Fisher Price ususally makes such great kids toys that really grow with baby. This toy is definitely not up to their usual standards.
We kept the bat and ball and threw the base away. My son loves banging with the bat and trying to catch the ball when we roll it to him. Don't waste your money on this one!

Hey,
I'm here to tell you that this product is not worth your time or money. This habitat is cruel for a hermit crab, let alone anuthing else. The material is extremely flimsy and it is not a proper enviroment for you pet. Many people think that to take care of a hermit crab, all you have to do is put them in the tank and let them be. Those people are wrong; you need to have toys and proper materials for your pet to climb on and simulate it's natural enviroment. Additionally, a hermit crab needs proper humidity temperatures, this cage does not do this and your hermit crab will die since it needs humidity to breathe. Furthormore, you have to pay extra to recieve a crab. it is much easier just to go to Petsmart or Petco and buy a ten gallon tank for 10 dollars, the crab for a small amount, sand and toys. In all, this product is not fit for any animal and not worth the money it costs. Please rethink you purchase and save the life of an animal, even if it is just a hermit crab.
Thank you for you time!

THIS....THING is the WORST possible place for a hermit crab to live. here are some bad points :
1. it's SUPER FLIMSY
2. you have to PAY EXTRA to have hermit crabs SHIPPED to your house(i don't need to waste my time telling you all the bad points about THAT!)
3. it's awful! it can't retain humidity (hermit crabs need humidity to BREATHE!) hermit crabs need a LOT more than this dreadful death trap can even BEGIN to offer! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!!

thank you :)

I got the hermit crab cove in the mail and it is great! Every says it sucks but it doesnt they like the cove and LOVE the beachy background! This is a great deal because it comes with alot!! Heres some care tips for your hermit crabs: if they need more moisture or they are escaping get a lint free dish drayer towl and wet it with only SPRING WATER!! THEY would die if you used tap water. Change your food every 2-3 days. Change water when need if you need more. VERY VERY INPORTANT GIVE THEM baths at least once a week. get a very small bowl add ONLY ROOM TEMP SPRING WATER and put 1 hermie upside down untill it comes out!! DONT LEAVE THEM ALONE LONGER THAN 45 secs. all in all this is a nice habitat.
