Whoozit Goes Everywhere Babies Go

Lisa — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 04:10:10 +0000

Manhattan Toy’s Whoozits are a fun loving line made of bright colors and high-contrast patterns.

Each Toy offers many developmental benefits for babies including visual stimulation, Early Motor, Sensory and Independent Play skills.

Hidden noise makers like rattles, squeakers, and crinkle paper spark curiosity, while textured fabrics keep little hands and mouths occupied.

On a recent vacation the Whoozit Pull Musical was a blessing when it kept my son’s attention during a boring plane ride. I even passed it to a mom behind me in hopes that it would make her crying baby happy.

Both babies seem to love the combination of the flashing lights and happy faces.

It’s officially our ‘go-to’ toy when nothing else works.

Toy Fair 2009: Tiny Love

Lisa — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 23:07:50 +0000

Tiny Love has always been known for their original, innovative baby toys.

This year they have introduced some products that will benefit babies while they are playing around the house or while they are out with mom and dad.

I like that each product has an element for every developmental stage and that the company’s website outlines the benefits for your baby at each stage for each toy.

This is a great resource for parents because it helps them know what things to look for when their child is playing with these and other products.

Here are our picks for 2009:
