I have an eighteen month old daughter and we are working very hard to teach her to use the big girl potty.  One of the hardest things we have run into is teaching her what comes out of her body.Admit it talking about pee and poop isn't the easiest thing to do.  It's just way to funny of a concept.  Here is where these fabulous stuffed dolls come in handy.  They take ...

After a very disappointing shopping trip at the Downtown Disney Marketplace where we could not find anything interesting to purchase, we decided to let my son build his own dinosaur at the T-REX cafe. The T-Rex cafe is a theme restaurant located in the Downtown Disney Marketplace that has a store attached to it where you can purchase dinosaur merchandise including building your very own dinosau...

My baby received this glow seahorse for Christmas this year and we all love it! She is only 5 weeks old right now but already loves to look at when she's in her crib. It's hard to buy a gift for a baby so young, but this was the perfect thing for her!This seahorse is like the glowbugs that I remember from when I was little. It is a soft stuffed animal with a soft plastic belly. The bell...

I bought these two stuffed animal hand puppets for my grandson's 2nd birthday.  He loves hand puppets and enjoys hearing the adventures we make up.  I searched many different stores looking for hand puppets.  The only store that had some was Toys R Us.  I found these two Puppettos and thought they were adorable.  I was a bit concerned with the look of them because o...

I love going to Build a Bear almost more than my kids! It is fun to look at all of the stuffed animals and pick one out to love, stuff and take home! My daughter picked the pink poodle on one of our trips there. This poodle is truly a girl's best friend. He is soft and cuddly. My daughter would lay with him and rub his ear while falling asleep. Not only is he soft, but super cute. You are a...

Meet my little buddy E.T. the Extra Terrestrial!  This stuffed E.T. doll has been with me for a long time.  This is a Show Time Kamar International Inc. stuffed toy from 1982.  He is Vintage since he is over 20 years old--I can't believe I've had him for so long.I was reminded of my old friend when E.T. came on television a few months ago.  He's been boxed up in ...

My daughter got a Mushabelly Chatter Mushkin for Christmas.  The price tag says 29.99 but I am sure my mother in law got it for cheaper.  I know it was purchased at Sears though.  First of all it is so cute and soft, my daughter loves it.  But when you squeeze its hand it makes a loud oinking/ snorting noise (it is a pig by the way) and the noise is so annoying.  Plus w...

My little grandson, Cooper, adores Elmo. He had no Elmo dolls therefore GG (Grandma Geri,) had to go out and find one for him. It could not be any ordinary Elmo, it had to be spectacular. While surfing on e-bay oneday, I came across this 36" laughing Elmo doll and I had to win it. Not wanting to wait for six more days till the auction was up, I asked the seller if they would consider a buy...

My brother bought this adorable Little Chocolate Scented Plush Bunny for only 44 cents at the CVS Pharmacy.  It was on the Easter clearance rack.   The regular price for this bunny was $2.99. My grand daughter just loves it because it smells like chocolate. She loves chocolate as well as I did at her age. Anything chocolate. Ice cream, cookies, candy, cake, pies, drink. Just...

This is a great idea for a product. I purchased this womb sounds bear while I was pregnant and couldn't wait to see if it would work. I immediately noticed that it sounds exactly like what I heard while at my ultrasounds. It is truly amazing how it sounds just like what the baby hears in the womb. This bear is so soft and completely adorable. It is also at a great price. I love how the bear...

The tickle toes turtle by Luv N' Care made a great stocking stuffer at Christmas. This cute stuffed animal is soft. By pressing his foot he laughs. His laugh sounds like a little child's laugh. The great thing about this toy is it did not scare my infant which some toys do at first. He is small and light weight. He sits up on his own. The only down side to this stuffed animal is th...

If you've tried out other stuffed animals that have online features, you might have been disappointed. My daughter got a Star Pet at Toys R' Us and the online play was so wiggy, it just wasn't worth it. When she came home with a Rescue Pets MyePets.com I thought, "Oh great. Here we go again."Like others, you register online, and get a virtual version of your toy. You name ...

One day while in my favorite drug store I heard the song " Low Rider" being played and could heard kids laughing hysterically, well of course being as nosey as I am I had to look!I have always referred to my dachshunds as my " Low rider Gang" so when I saw it was a dressed up, dancing dachshund that was singing Low rider it had to be mine. Needless to say my family and ...

This little guy is so goofy he’s cute. He is a very basic stuffed animal. He is supposed to be a frog…but I think he looks like a green colored monkey so we call him the monkey-frog. He is about 17 inches tall from the very top of his head to the tips of his “toes”. His face is all fabric and stitching so there are no pieces (eyes. Noses, buttons etc) that can fall ...

Knowing my love for Alaska, and my wish to visit there one day, a friend of my husband's sent me the cutest bear.  I was so surprised to get this little bear in the mail.This bear is made of the softest material and almost feels real.  His jacket is made of fleece.  Printed in shiny gold stitching on the front of his jacket is the words, "Alaska Marine Highway."&nbs...

This Princess Daisy Duck stuffed animal is adorable! We recently went to the Disney store while they were having a huge sell and we got this stuffed animal for only $2.50! It is normally around $16.50 I think. She is very soft and so cute. She has a beautiful bright purple dress on with a little shimmering material on the front and on her hat. The material is very soft and feels like silk. He...

My Aunt in the United States sent this stuffed bunny for our baby. Our baby, even at her age, is very picky with her toys. She is aware already that she has options and so she chooses what she likes. But when we got this bunny and gave it to her, she hugged it. She loved it! She is always photographed in different occasions, either hugging or chewing on the bunny. We even gave it a name, Lola B...

My daughter has recently discovered the world of Webkinz. They are stuffed animals that also come with a sealed code on the tag that you can enter online at the Webkinz site. You can then play with your animal in the virtual Webkinz world. So far she has gotten a husky, a chiuahua and a black stallion. There is a fairly large selection of animals to choose  from and I'm sure more ...
