Must Have Chicco Toys
Teddy Count-With-Me
This bilingual ‘osito’ (bear), is a cute, snuggly teddy bear with a sweet face and much to offer your growing, little sponge. It’s designed for ages 6 months and older and is perfect for my baby boy (6 months)! He loves it, but actually so does my nearly 4 year old girl! He likes to bite the bear’s paws and squeeze it till it makes noise. She likes to sing the songs and learn how to say words like bees in Spanish (’abejas’, fyi). Teddy Count-with-Me, is about so much more than counting. In fact, it took a while till we even got to that part. The osito knows animal names, nursery rhymes and activities too. I love this teddy…and they do too. It is a great gift for a baby to grow into -te promiso (I promise)! ($39.99)
Sing ‘N Learn Orchestra
What’s the best way to get to Carnegie Hall…? Practice, practice, practice… ON THE Sing ‘N Learn Orchestra! This toy is a really cool introduction for babies and toddlers to learn the musical genres such as classical, jazz and pop, as well as learn the names and sounds of 5 different instruments.
It also plays catchy songs. As conductor, your child can blend sounds and styles together that are actually pretty melodious (as far as brightly colored, battery-operated toys go). It’s compact, has no extraneous parts, and is educational and fun. Mini maestros, I give it 2 thumbs up…I mean wands! ($37.99)
Billy FunWheels
Billy FunWheels should change it’s name to Gilly FunWheels (I’m Gilly), because this remote control car is hours worth of fun. Even I was having trouble sharing this one with the kids! It’s all ages and ALL fun! Seriously. Even though it doesn’t do donuts, it does go forwards, backwards and honks at other bad drivers (I.e. little sisters). I plan on giving Gilly FunWheels…I mean Billy FunWheels for birthdays and holidays, boys and girls alike. It’s super-fun and not annoyingly loud and obnoxious like some other toys (and drivers). Best of all, you can be a really crappy driver and speed your little tushy off and no one cares! ($36.99)
