What child doesn’t love a toy that is interactive, makes noise, or can provide uninterrupted play for longer than 5 minutes? Better yet, what parent, right? Well, this fall Little Tikes has some great new products that I had the pleasure of trying out for myself, and letting my son try out as well! I had not bought many Little Tikes toys since most of the items my son has now were gifted to us from others, or we found at yard sales, and thrift shops. Looking back I am wishing I would have purchased a few more toys like these.
Of the newest product available, we have the Lalaloopsy™ Girls Cake Fashion Doll- Fancy Frost ‘N’ Glaze™, the Little Tikes Lil Ocean Explorers™ Catch Me Crabbie Baby Toy™, and the Lil’ Ocean Explorers™ Stand ‘n Dance Starfish™. Each one of these pieces is unique and exciting in it’s own way and can help ignite your child’s imagination!
Lalaloopsy™ Girls Cake Fashion Doll- Fancy Frost ‘N’ Glaze™ is absolutely adorable, and would make any little girl happy to own it. This little doll is great because not only can you play with it, but you can actually decorate it like a cupcake from head-to-toe! How cool is that? It comes with all of the icing, glitter frosting pen, a little mold to make hearts to place on dolly, and even a little container of glitter to sparkle it up even more. This will last through a few decorations, but even one the icing is gone, this doll will make a great addition to your little girls collection.
We love the Lalaloopsy™ dolls, and actually have purchased many of the larger ones for my niece as she is kind of a fanatic! I even bought her a collectible princess one a couple of years ago and she refuses to take it out of the box. I would recommend this specific doll for little girls 5 and up. These would make a great gift for your own child, as well as a niece or any little girl. The possibilities are endless, and you can always turn the fun into a mommy and me playdate.
Product Features (from the manufacturer):
- Decorate the Lalaloopsy Girls Cake Fashion dolls dress, shoes, hair and accessories, just like a real cake!
- Includes a parasol umbrella and cupcake purse
- The parasol is also a frosting bag
- Use the cupcake purse to make different shapes from “fondant”
- Create endless designs
- Ages: 5-105 years
Little Tikes Lil Ocean Explorers™ Catch Me Crabbie Baby Toy™ is one of my favorites, because my son is now walking and getting into everything. This is the kind of toy that can help keep your child active while staying occupied with the one thing instead of venturing off and “messing” in stuff they shouldn’t be in. We live in a small apartment and space is precious. Luckily, this little guy doesn’t take up much space and lives right on my son’s bookshelf with the majority of his faves. The Catch Me Crabbie™ toy can offer playtime for children ages 6 months and up and can give your child amusement for hours to come. With music, motion activation and more, I would definitely recommend this little guy to any parent for their little ones, or even as a gift.
Product Features (from the manufacturer):
- Start Crabbie by pressing down on his head
- Catch Me Crabbie™ is motion activated
- Claws open and close
- Crabbie plays music
- Will move in opposite direction when he bumps into an object
- On/off and volume switch on back
- Requires 3 “AAA” alkaline batteries (included)
If your child can stand, or has enough coordination to grab a ball, then the Lil’ Ocean Explorers™ Stand ‘n Dance Starfish™ might be a great option for you. This toy is great because it offers playtime for a child that can sit and play or stand and play! We love the bright colors, the music and watching the balls roll down just to drop them in again. The little pedals act like a keyboard, and can be played by hand or foot. Bubby is just now learning to dance and loves hearing music of all types. When the Lil’ Ocean Explorers™ Stand ‘n Dance Starfish™ starts playing he gets excited and just wants to go, go, go! This is one of those toys I would wait until about 9 months to offer to a child, but can be a great thing to have around for a long while to come even once baby is walking and climbing. This becomes a distraction most days for him, which is actually a huge blessing to me as I am a SAHM and usually am trying to get a blog post or 2 done throughout the day as well as the rest of my housework, and the laundry. This is also a great item to have for baby AND you to play with. You can use it to help teach coordination, and learning colors and shapes! I would recommend this for 9 months and up, for all children and parents.
Product Features (from the manufacturer):
- Two modes of play
- Mode one -Plays musical notes and lights are activated when each starfish key is pressed down
- Mode two -Plays songs and activate lights
- Ball drop will help baby with eye-hand coordination
- Includes four balls for ball drop
- Requires 3 “AA” alkaline batteries (not included)
- Assembly Required
