Lamaze - Stretch The Giraffe

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Gift Items
from: Learning Curve


Lamaze have a wide range of items for babies which all seem to work well. Stretch the Giraffe contains a wide range of colours, rattles etc to stimulate baby and keep him interested. The belly is black, white and blue - easy colours for baby to focus on in the early days. When baby is a little older he'll be interested in the dangly stretchy legs - one foot has a squeaker, two have (different) rattles and the fourth one is crunchy. There are numerous 'taggie' ribbons on Stretch which babies seem to find fascinating. Even later on baby will make good use of the teething rings. The large clip means that Stretch can be attached to a pushchair, baby gym etc to keep baby occupied. My 16 week old little boy loves him - even just holding on ... Read More:

Lamaze Gardenbug Wrist Rattle & Footfinder Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Gift Items
from: Learning Curve


Lamaze have come up with another highly entertaining toy for babies. The two wrists strap each have a bug shaped rattle on. The velcro design of the fixing means that they are very adjustable and will fit baby's wrists for a long while. My baby enjoys them and I don't have to worry about him dropping them the whole time. The socks aren't quite so good. The design is more like a sack, so they don't stay on baby's feet well at all; a velcro strap might help in a future design. Again they each have a bug shaped rattle on and they certainly encourage baby to reach for his toes. So 4 stars - the design for the socks could do with a tweak, but a lovely product all the same.

Sun Jar

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Gift Items
from: Suck UK Ltd


I was recently given a sun jar as a birthday present and I love it. It sits in my front window, which gets the sunlight during the day, and many of my neighbours have said how cosy it is to see it glowing away there after dark! I am planning to get one for the back garden now as well, and a couple more as Christmas presents.

Lamaze - Freddie The Firefly

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Gift Items
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy for my son when he was born as he is a baby that is always awake so needs lots of stimulation. This has been one of the best buys as he loves the squeaker and the colours meant he could see it when he was a few weeks old. It also rattles and he is now able to get hold of the rings at the bottom to chew. I actually put this toy in the washing machine when it fell out of the car and it was fine - the squeaker still works. A must have for those with active babies.

Grobag Cotton Swaddling Wrap

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Gift Items
from: Grobag® Swaddling


Swaddling in the early months is thought (by some) to assist babies to sleep. It suppresses the moro reflex (or the jerking effects of it) and gives security to the baby. The Grobag Cotton Swaddling Wrap meets these aims. The only problem I had with it was that it is quite 'short'. I don't think my baby is particularly 'tall' but he would regularly get his feet free of the wrap. Baby's feet are meant to be contained by the bottom of the wrap being folded over them - obviously the 'taller' baby is, the less fabric there is to fold over. Minor quibble probably but there other swaddling products out there which are bigger.

Lamaze - Balancing Bug Stacker

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Gift Items
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy as i was looking for something a bit different from the whoozit type soft toys for my 8 month old. It has not disappointed. The 6 bugs are all brightly coloured with various legs, wings etc for little ones to grab hold of. They each contain a magnet which not only enables them to stick together in a totem pole effect but also produces a not too loud rattle in each one. They are neither too heavy nor too big for the littlest hands to pick up and they will love knocking down the towers that you have carefully constructed as well as banging pairs together and ultimately building their own towers, naming the bugs, learning colours etc. My only, very small criticism is that i assume one of the bugs to be a spider but it only has ...

Classic Pop-Up Toy

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Gift Items
from: Galt


i was enthusiastic about this toy based on the reviews, however I was disappointed when I received it. The pegs sit on a metal base to make them bounce and some of the metal seems to come off onto the bottom of the peg. That means i'm unhappy leaving the toy with my baby unless i'm watching as i don't want him to put the pegs in his mouth. That means that this toy isn't used as much as i'd hoped.

Lamaze - Fish Bowl

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Gift Items
from: Learning Curve


I got this for my 7 month old daughter to teach her about "putting things in and taking things out". It took her a while to get it, but she always loved the individual toys, and chewing on the "bowl". These days one or other of the little fishies is always in her hands - small and very portable, with lots of different experiences in one reasonably priced toy. Would buy as a present for every baby I encounter!
