5 Stars every baby needs this toy
Simply put, this is a well-made and versatile toy. He has been a favorite in our home and is now being played with by baby #2.
5 Stars Our daughter loves Freddie!
Freddie is so bright and colorful! He has crunchy wings and chimes in his belly. Our daughter is teething and she just loves to chew on the little red lady bug that hangs from Freddie’s wing. I’m so glad we purchased Freddie the Firefly!
4 Stars This is a complete activity center in itself!
I love this toy – and my 4 month old loves it too. Right now I place it at his feet and he loves to lift them up and let them fall over and over again on the crinkly wings. I know he will eventually discover all the fun parts of this firefly!
5 Stars Huge hit
I bought this for a friends 4 month old and he loved it. He was fascinated by the noises, colors and all the things he could grab. Highly recommend this as I do other Lamaze products.
5 Stars superb first toy
This was the first toy to which my son visibly reacted in happy recognition, and a year later it is still a favorite. As a “flying bug” it lends itself to older kids and adults sort of zooming it around Baby’s head and then squeaking it or clacking it, to Baby’s delight. I was surprised at how young my little boy was when he started investigating the peek-a-boo mirror and the crinkly wings. The bright colors and happy face on the front, and the black-and-white patterns on the back, really do attract and keep Baby’s attention. We received this second-hand from someone who told me it was very heavily used at their house as well, so it is amazingly sturdy. It also cleans up very nicely with a little dish-soap and water on the surface; the fabrics seem to be engineered so stuff doesn’t really stick in the fabric at all. Also the little mirror is not nearly as scratched as one would expect after multiple children deliberately scratching it with car keys (yes we are never supposed to give our real keys to Baby but we may as well Confess! we have all been desperate enough to do it some time or other). After what is now several years of abuse, although he looks just as bright as ever, the stitching holding his clacking rings on his tail disintigrated, but I easily just cut the thread with a scissors and the rings are now among my son’s very favorite bath toys. Other similar rings are ignored. He claps these rings together and puts them inside or over other toys endlessly, and I’m convinced he’s so fond of these specific rings because they came from this firefly. Now at a year old he has just got the hang of putting the red teether back in its pocket and spends an amazing amount of time inserting the edge of his blanket or t-shirt through the gap in the top holder ring. He hasn’t yet figured out how to make the squeaker squeak and when he gets tired of trying he hands the toy to us with the squeaker up and ready, requesting it.
