Peek-a-Boo I Love You (toy review)

This last week, we received our toy from Ebeanstalk.  When my older kids were little, we had an over abundance of baby toys.   Some of them were great educational types of toys, and others were pretty useless and junky. As my older children grew, the baby toys were tossed.  So when Sam came into our home, we had zero toys for him to play with.  We are slowly but surely building up Sam's stash!

Sometimes it's hard to find good quality toys that will actually help with development and learning.  We are bombarded with silly dancing Mickey Mouse and Elmo toys, when we would really just love to have a nice set of wooden blocks.

Ebeanstalk prides itself in providing quality educational toys for children of all ages.  Each toy comes with it's own set of instructions from their child specialists.  They give you advice on how to use the toy as well as list the skills that your child will develop from this particular toy.

The toy that Sam received is the Peek-A-Boo I Love You book made by Lamaze.  Sam LOVED the little flaps that lift when reading this book to him.  He also loved the yarn hair that the child on the front had.  It is a very cute book that takes children through simple vocabulary words that they are familiar with.  Words like mommy, daddy, sister, doggy, and kitty.  The families are cute inside, and relay love and affection toward the child in the book.  The book is soft and easy for the child to hold and in Sam's case, chew on.

The only problem we had with this toy, is the fact that it didn't hold Sam's attention.  This toy is made for children 9-12 months of age, and Sam will be 9 months old this Sunday. So maybe that had a lot to do with it.  One thing that I would have LOVED to see  in the book, is multi-cultural families inside.   Being a mom of an African American adopted child, I would have loved to see some people of different races inside.  Perhaps an African American family, or an Asian family.  Maybe even a white family with an adopted child of a different race.

Big brother loved reading it to Sam

 

Our overall experience with this toy was positive, and I am sure Sam will continue to play with it for many months to come.
