I love the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn toys! We have several and everyone of them is fun, musical and educational.  This purse is adorable.  Inside your daughter will find a pretend lipstick, mirror, dollar, keys, and bracelet.  Your child can play with her Laugh & Learn Learning Purse in 3 different modes: learning, imagination, and music.  She will love to hear the music and enjoy being rewarded with various sounds and phrases.  Your child will enjoy putting her things in her purse and taking them out.  She can zip the zipper and open and close the bag.  She will love to play with her pretend belongings.  She will imitate you by putting on her bracelet and lipstick.

This toy won Parent’s Magazine Best Toys of the Year award in 2006.  My daughter loves this toy.  Your child can learn a lot and have a blast with this one.  The Amazing Animals Sing & Go Choo-Choo helps your child develop motor skills, learn about animals and their sounds, introduces them to different textures and sounds.  Your child will love the music that is played and the various sound effects.  He will learn cause and effect by pushing the button to hear a song and see the train move.  The three animals are flexible and even make sounds when you move their limbs. 

I have played with this toy during early intervention sessions to work on sensory, cause and effect, identifying animals and their sounds and parallel play.  I would recommend this toy to any child between 6 months and 3 years of age.  Your child can learn a lot from it and have lots of fun too!

The Fisher Price Interactive Baby Grand Piano is so much fun!  My daughter got this when she was 12 months old and has a blast playing with it.  Most children love music and lights, so you can’t go wrong with this one.  The piano has 3 different modes of play: learning, musical fun, and imagination.  There is a character that dances while your child plays the piano.  This toy is very interactive.  Your little one can learn about colors, numbers, and counting.  There are light up piano keys, an interactive song book, cute songs, and a few other toys to play with on this piano.  I love watching my daughter sit in front of it and play.   Sometimes she even cruises around it to get to all of the fun interactive pieces.

The Fisher Price Laugh ‘n Learn Kitchen is a great toy for your little one to learn from and have a blast while doing so.  The Kitchen has an opening that your child will crawl through and on his way through he will be rewarded with music and lights.  There are a few different modes that you can choose from. There are 21 different songs, sound effects, greetings, fun phrases, radio sounds and more than 25 fun phrases.  Your child will enjoy opening his refrigerator to find pictures of familiar foods inside.  He can play with the shape sorter on the refrigerator, enjoy putting the colored balls in the sink, cook up some food in the oven and on the stove top.  He can toast up some bread and listen to the radio.  There is a light switch that he will learn to turn on and off and will be delighted to hear phrases and see lights when he does so.

There is a living room side on the opposite side of the kitchen.  However, there is not much for your child to do on this side except turn the radio dial, look at a small flip book and play with the clock.  At first I was disappointed that there wasn’t much on this side.  But, the focus is the kitchen and my daughter loves it!

She was 12 months of age when she got this toy and she plays with it a lot longer than most other toys.  She really enjoys the music and especially being rewarded with lights and music when crawling through the doorway!

You can sit and watch your child develop on this Alphabet ‘n Numbers Foram Puzzle Mat.  I love this puzzle mat and chances are, your child will too.  You can place this down on the floor as a mat and your child can learn and play on it.  The 12″ by 12″ foam blocks are soft and come apart like a puzzle.  Your child can learn his ABCs and numbers 1- 10.  He can work on fine motor control when taking the pieces apart and putting them back together.   The pieces offer various textures for your little one to enjoy.  The blocks are colorful, so your child can learn colors also!  By the way, when the puzzle is together, it covers 36 square feet. It is easy to clean too!

BPA or Bisphenol-A is a chemical used in some plastics. It is used to make these plastics, durable, clear and hard. It is also found in pesticides fungicides and other products. Heating plastics with BPA is thought to unleash harmful chemicals into liquids and foods. Studies show that BPA can potentially cause hormonal abnormalities, cancers and developmental problems. BPA tends to unleash into liquids and foods after being heated. So, if you are boiling your plastic bottles or putting them in the dishwasher, they will be releasinig this toxin (if it contains BPA).

I love these BPA free storage bowls!  That is right…the Nuby Storage Bowls are BPA Free.  That means there are NO dangerous toxins that will harm your child.  These four bowls and lids are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.  They are great for foods and cereal.  They will keep those snacks nice and fresh for your child.  (not meant for liquids) The set also comes with a long spoon which is great when you are trying to reach the bottom of those baby food jars!  The bowls are great for when you are “on the go”.  They are conveniently sized to fit your little one’s hands.
