Sassy Baby Toys Review&Giveaway

CLOSED!!!

Sassy Baby Toys are AWESOME! They have quickly become mine & R's favorite toys! We were sent all of the toys below for Dot & R (& the rest of the boys it appears) to play with & review! We put away the baby toys for when Dot comes along but are letting the boys play with the rest.

R's absolute FAVORITE toy is the Fill & Spill Barrel! I have NEVER seen my boy so in love with a toy! He seriously will not leave the house without it! I am sure it's because it's filled with 3 CUTE little monkeys, 3 bright yellow banana bunches, & 3 barrels! The monkeys even squeak. I don't know if I have mentioned this before but R is not a talker! The pediatrician even set him up an appointment with Early Intervention (who said they don't worry until they are 18 months old) he says a few words now like mah-ma & pumpa (grandma & grandpa) & tiss (kiss) but that is about it.....well I am proud to say R has mastered hooo hooo ha ha from playing with the monkeys! Yes I know it's not a real word but hey I'm pretty proud!

Sassy Baby Toys has come out with 43 new & updated toys that are perfect for Holiday Shopping for the baby in your life!


Let's learn about the rest of the toys!

· Vibrating Textures (3 Months & Up) Inspire Exploration: This amazing, little ring provides a lesson in cause-and-effect: When baby pushes, gums or bites the largest soft disk, the teether vibrates to tickle the gums and baby’s fancy. A bold, red and white striped disk with a purple middle catches baby’s eye. The raised stripes and smooth sections provide teething interest. There are six more chewy, bumpy and smooth disks filled with orange, purple and red beads. Some are water-filled. Put the teether in the refrigerator to provide a cool diversion from sore gums. The wide variety – in size and shape – of the teethable areas cultivates tactile sensitivity, which helps develop communication skills. Suggested retail price is $4.99.

· Baby’s First Books (Birth & Up) Inspire Vision: Get baby’s library started with a selection of four fun little books that stimulate baby’s senses with bold, symmetrical patterns and faces to help baby focus and develop vision. There’s Cute as a Bug, which features Papa Bug, Nana Bug, Bow Wow Bug and even Baby Bug, a mirrored oval with antennae and a bold geometric stripe that rings baby’s face when she peers at the mirror. Next in the series is Dotty and Friends, featuring whimsical bugs with bright, bold geometric patterned bodies and high contrast, symmetrical faces. There’s also The Love Bug Photo Album, which holds four photos of baby’s favorite people. The photos are framed in scenes featuring high-contrast smiling faces. Finally, there’s Baby’s Sense-ations Book, a story little ones can sink their gums into! Each padded page in this durable cloth book provides a different feature to stimulate baby’s sense of smell, touch, sight and hearing. The set of four books has a suggested retail price of $12.99.


· Ring & Phone Rattle Set (Birth & Up) Inspire Touch: This set combines two Sassy classics to make a great rattle set for newborns. A little telephone rattle with a high-contrast handle of smooth, white plastic and chewy, black stripes is perfect for little fingers to grip. Beads in the receiver and mouthpiece make a gentle rattling sound. The Ring Rattle has the same high contrast, black and white stripes on one-third of the circular handle. Another section is clear plastic with beads moving inside it and the final section has thin raised strips on a smooth handle to encourage teething. A polka-dot ball on the handle and three smooth rings provide more geometric shapes and textures to explore. The set comes in shades of blue or pink, both with black, white and bright green accents. Suggested retail price is $6.99 for the pair.

· Izzy the Inchworm Stroller Activity Center (6 Months & Up) Inspire Exploration: Inch for inch, this stroller toy is packed with miles of activity! It is a bright green inchworm perched upon a tree branch base. The inchworm’s segmented body offers many different sights, sounds, activities and textures. Baby will love gazing at the smiling face with its high contrast eyes and soft, touchable antennae. The symmetrical face has a calming effect on baby. And, he’ll love seeing his own face in the baby-safe mirror outlined in black and white stripes. The inchworm’s multi-textured features foster tactile exploration, which encourages brain development. A convenient snack cup segment flips open. Stock it with small finger foods to encourage development of baby’s pincer grasp. Another segment features a clear dial with dancing beads inside. Turn the dial to hear clicking and watch tumbling beads. The inchworm’s tail segment can be batted at to make beads dance inside a clear half-circle. Raised orange bumps on the other half are fun to touch and teethe on. Push a leaf to hear “moving” music, including the “William Tell Overture” and silly sounds. At the base, a plush flower with high contrast, black and white petals and a golden center, clicks when baby dials. A happy dragonfly with teethable textured wings hovers over everything on a bendy stand. A trio of colorful beads can be pushed around the stand’s curves and clinked together. The toy easily attaches to all strollers using sturdy elastic Velcro® straps. The Stroller Activity Center has a suggested retail price of $19.99.

· Fill & Spill Barrel (6 Months & Up) Inspires Exploration: There’s nothing more fun than this barrel of monkeys! A clear, lightweight barrel that is easy for baby to dump is filled with an assortment of brightly colored, soft plush monkeys, plastic barrels and bunches of bananas too! The monkeys have symmetrical, smiling faces. That symmetry has a calming effect on babies and young children. The soft monkeys encourage baby to reach out. Manipulating them helps strengthen gripping muscles and squeezing them to hear a squeak gives baby a giggle. The wide mouth barrel encourages baby to fit the pieces back in. This fill and spill activity encourages baby’s motor-cognitive development and is a precursor to shape-sorting. Suggested retail price is $9.99.

· Click Clack Keys (3 months & up) Inspire Imagination: Baby can take the wheel with this cute key set. A black and white, stripped key chain holds the keys and baby’s gaze. Three keys in colors close to each other on the color wheel help improve baby’s visual acuity. The keys offer raised ridges, bumpy dots and key-shaped indentations to encourage tactile exploration. A variety of dynamic car sounds can be heard when baby pushes the three colored buttons on the key chain. Baby will delight in the clacking sounds the keys make when shaken. Suggested retail price is $3.99.

Izzy the Inchworm was a big hit today while we were out in the stroller! We also love the baby's first books which we read every night.
