4 Stars Cute
This is a cute and simple puzzle. My two year old can easily put it together. Nice way to practice words of insects with him.

5 Stars Melissa and Doug Toys
I love these puzzles for my grandson. They are so easy for his little fingers to grab, they are colorful and have a nice texture. They are educational and age appropriate. I would highly recommend these puzzles.

5 Stars I bought this toy as a gift for my grandson, but haven’t given it to him yet.
I bought this toy for my grandson’s 2nd birthday next month, at the request of his mother , so I don’t know how he’ll like it, but I know that Melissa and Doug toys are highly rated for their durability and ease of use for little ones. I myself love how brightly the toys are colored, and the fact that they are made for little hands.

4 Stars Cute chunky puzzle
I love melissa and doug products. This product, like all of them is bright, durable, cute and educational. My two year old can’t get enough!

4 Stars cute, but a little disappointed
I was looking for this puzzle in particular for my little girl since it is the “girliest” one M&D have in the chunky puzzles. It is very cute and functional, but the sides and backs of the pieces are not painted like the other chunky puzzles I have. The particleboard is left raw and of course, goes straight into our 12-month olds mouth, so it is beginning to puff up in some spots. I expected better from Melissa and Doug as I have many of their other toys and love them. Otherwise, it’s a good puzzle, just like the other chunky puzzles my older son loved so much.

5 Stars Keeps little hands busy
Puzzle is of excellent quality, nice and chunky for little hands to manipulate with ease. The colors are very vivid. Just a great toy for your little one.

5 Stars Great!
This is an extremely durable puzzle with pieces that fit well, but not too tightly, into their places – providing an excellent challenge for my one-year-old.

4 Stars Great for 12 month old
This is great for a first puzzle. Between 11 and 12 months my daughter started becoming interested in putting items in boxes so I bought her some Melissa and Doug puzzles after doing my research (although some of these are made in china they undergo strict testing). The large wooden nobs are great for little fingers to grab and very durable.

5 Stars Great Puzzle
I got this puzzle for my 7-month old son. As soon as the wrapping paper was off on Christmas morning he was reaching for the knobs trying to pull the pieces out, he could barely wait for my husband to get the cellophane off so he could grab them. He loves to pick up the pieces out of the puzzle. He’s not old enough yet to put them back in, but they do slip into place easily for me.

5 Stars Knobby Puzzle
Thicker than most beginner puzzles. The large knobs are easy for little hands to grab, and make for a good teether toy. My older child likes this puzzle also. The three pieces have pictures in the “holes” so you can match the piece needed by color also.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Best investment ever
Both my boys have loved this puzzle to pieces. I bought it when my older son was just over a year old and he spent hours learning each shape and color and fitting it into the puzzle. Everntually I packed it away… and brought it out when my younger son started to show an interest in shapes. He loves it, too! I have to search the house for the pieces because he loves to carry them around. This is the best money I have spent on any toy to date.

5 Stars Loved it!
This puzzle was fun and educational. My 2 year old granddaughter could handle the shapes with those little fingers. After she realized they would stand alone, it became a train of shapes. The colors were vibrant and another lesson for her. Great fun for us.

4 Stars Great for learning
Bought this for my daugther when she was 9 months old.ow she is 2 and half years old. Still love these. This is what taught her shapes and colors too. She did great and the toy is still in great condition. Very impressed.

4 Stars Great for learning shapes and colors
My daughter got this for her first birthday and it helped her to quickly identify shapes and colors. I love all of Melissa and Doug’s products and this product is no exception. It is great because the pieces are so chunky and easy for a small child to manipulate.

5 Stars Great product
I ordered this to use with a student that has severe special needs. He is legally blind, and has some fine motor difficulties. I am happy to report that he is able to effectively pick up the pieces and put them into the correct spots with minimal assistance. The colors are nice and bright and the quality exceptional.

Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Say Please Tea Set

Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Say Please Tea Set



User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Cute as a Button!
Cute as a button and easy for little fingers to hold and maneuver. The pieces of cake are Shape-Sorters for busy little minds. The “Say Please” tea pot is a wonderful way to gently remind children about that magic word “Please” … Great idea! Worth every penny!

5 Stars teapot
My eight month old daughter loves this toy! I got it for her when she was six months and she has enjoyed playing with it nearly every day since. The sounds and songs are really cute and she loves pretending to drink from the cup. Even my older niece (3 yo) enjoys it.

5 Stars Very cute!
My daughter got this for her birthday when she turned one, she dances to the songs and she loves playing with it almost everyday. The only downside is that there are only two songs, it does teach some useful phrases such as when you open or close the lid and makes gurgling sounds when you tip it to pour “tea”. Overall its a excellent product and my daughter really enjoys playing with it.

5 Stars tea party
2 year old Daughter loves it, very cute she just keeps wanting to put water in the tea pot to make tea.

5 Stars Adorable!
My daughter just received this toy as a first birthday gift. It is absolutely adorable! She holds the teapot and presses the buttons that play different songs (in a slight British accent–too cute), and she rocks back and forth, back and forth, back and forth to the music. We love watching her play with it!

Waldorf Maple Teether Natural Teething Ring

January 18th, 2010

Waldorf Maple Teether Natural Teething Ring




The Camden Rose teether was designed to stimulate sight and touch with beautiful organic shapes and the comfort of hardwood. Easy to grasp for little fingers and soothing to rub on tender gums, the Maple Teether is best for the baby who, at about 3 months, starts to explore the object-mouth relationship. Each teether is fashioned from maple wood and left unfinished. This listing is for one (1) handmade teether.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Natural Teether!
We bought this for our daughter and she absolutely loves it. It is the perfect size for a 6 month old baby to hold and she gets excited when seeing it again and again.

I would highly recommend this to anyone trying to give their child something without harmful plastics in them.

5 Stars I love this!!!
My son really likes this teether. He’s only 5 months old and he has figured out how to pick it up and teeth on it all by himself. It’s so simple and way nicer than the plastic teething rings that I used with my other son. Besides that, it is healthier.

I highly recommend this teether!

5 Stars Fabulous!
My 5 month old just loves this to chew on. It’s easy to hold and obviously tastes good too as it’s constantly in his mouth! Best of all there’s no chemicals to worry about. Given it’s “teething” time this teether is always kept close by!

5 Stars works great!
Once my son figured out what to do with it, I cant leave home with out it! This by far is much easier to use than those teethers that go in the fridge. Fits great in a little guys mouth and great for little hands. The one thing I wish is that one side would be completely on same plane, having all sides with variation is good but one side should just be smooth.

5 Stars Best Teether EVER.
These teethers are the BEST. They may not be freezable or vibrate or have some shiney faced character on them but my daughter prefers these over anything else. The maple wood is naturally bacteriostatic, and the natural beeswax is hardley noticable. My only warning is to keep it out of reach of a puppy!!! Our little puppy liked it as a teether too!
