VTech Bouncing Colors Turtle

January 6, 2010
I love Vtech toys. My kids have enjoyed the VSmile for quite some time and we've purchased many other VTech toys over the years. Each one is amazing, kid friendly, colorful, educational, fun and not too loud.

The Vtech Jungle Gym line has some super cute toys for kids. We recently tried out the Bouncing Colors Turtle toy from the Jungle Gym line of Vtech toys. This adorable turtle allows the child to bounce while music plays and different colors light up.


I love how interactive this toy is. Unlike some other bouncing toys that I've seen, this actually helps the child learn by rewarding the bouncing with lights, music, colors and shapes. My daughter has a blast bouncing and dancing along to the music. I don't doubt that it will be very soon that she has the songs memorized and can sing along as well. I will also say, as a mom that hears annoying music coming from random toys all day long, this toy and it's songs are not irritating in the slightest. The volume isn't too loud and the songs are really cute. This is a huge thing for me. When I'm purchasing toys I definitely avoid the ones that I won't be able to think straight while they are playing. The Bouncing Colors Turtle toy is very much easy on the ears.

Another serious plus about this toy that I know parents will love is how easy it was to put together. A few pieces popped in place and it was ready for some serious bouncing. And the price is very affordable. Take those gift cards you got for Christmas and put them to good use because this is a toy that will get played with for a while. The age recommendations are 18-36 months. I like that it's a toy that a child doesn't outgrow in a few short months. Honestly, even my five year old enjoys bouncing on it from time to time.

I've always recommened Vtech toys to other parents and those buying gifts for kids and now I have a new toy in the Vtech family that I am happy to add to my list of beloved Vtech toys. If you are looking for other great items from Vtech, check out some of my faves; the VSmile TV Learning System, Crazy Legs Learning Bugs and the Learn and Dance Interactive Zoo.

ZeroWater

December 15, 2009
We've always been fans of filtered water in our home. I suppose living places where the water was terrible forced us to come to that but, we enjoy having that filtered water in the fridge. We used to buy the jugs of water and my husband decided it was far more inexpensive to just go with the pitchers. We used one of the name brand pitchers that you find at all the major grocery stores for a long time. No complaints but, we've recently discovered how filtered that water really is.

We had the o...

Sparkle Plenty

December 13, 2009
I love sparkly jewelry. I don't know many women and girls who don't. My daughter is only two and she is already obsessed with "fancies" (her word for jewelry). Well, I got a new "fancy" recently and was so happy to add it to my collection of gorgeous bracelets.

Sparkle Plenty is an online boutique for amazing Swarovski and Crystal Jewelry and Apparel. A little about them in their own words: "Sparkle Plenty began working directly with Swarovski Crystal Components in 1999, providing beautiful cr...

Scandinavian Child

December 10, 2009
Scandinavian Child is a company started by a mom who knew the importance of products that are designed to be safe for children without compromising beauty. While on a trip to Sweden, the owner of this amazing company saw for the first time one of the products that she would eventually end up making available to so many more parents. How lucky for us that she saw the Svan high chair and decided to share what she had found.

The products at Scandinavian Child are beyond exquisite. Every brand ca...

Scholastic DVD Treasury Sets

December 9, 2009
When I was a child, one of my favorite books was called "Harry the Dirty Dog". I loved reading it to my son from the time he was very small. Recently, the joy of that book has been brought to life on our tv and my son is just beside himself. Scholastic has introduced a new DVD set, Treasury of 50 Storybook Classics: Animal Antics and More. This set includes 7 discs with more than an hour of fun and stories on each.

I love the read along function on these discs. My kids like to be read to but,...

Shooshoos

December 9, 2009
My daughter has almost as many pairs of shoes as I do. Really, she's following in my footsteps and she's doing it in some pretty adorable shoes. One of her newest pair of shoes is from Shooshoos. Cute name and cuter shoes.

Shooshoos has been making quality shoes for children for over ten years. Their soft soled baby shoes have won awards and are sold in stores all over the world. The baby shoes and toddler shoes from Shooshoos are all made from 100% safe and non-toxic Nappa leather. The color ...

Pillow Pets

December 9, 2009
My kids have so many stuffed animals, it's amazing. They are really taking over the room and they are everywhere. They are played with and then tossed aside. Some are shown a little more love but, aside from a little play time here and there, they are mostly just in the way and don't really have much of a function in the room other than taking up the top bunk.

Apparently I'm not the only mom with this problem. In 2003, a mom decided to do something about it and created a line of children's st...

Pottery and Pillows

December 9, 2009
Since becoming more of a domesticated housewife in the last few years, one of the things I've been looking forward to is taking baked goodies and homemade yummies to our holiday events on really cute plates and platters. If I'm going to spend the time to cook then I want it to look cute when I'm serving it too! This year I am so very excited to bring desserts to the family table on a new plate I recently got from Pottery and Pillows.

The handmade, personalized Christmas wreath plate that is o...

C. Belly Belts

December 9, 2009
My son is very skinny. It's always a challenge to find pants that are long enough but, fit him around the waist. My daughter doesn't have a problem with pants fitting her waist but, like lots of toddlers, she can generally be seen with the pants snug at the tummy and hanging halfway down her bottom. Both children usually need a belt. This can pose a problem at times. My son is very independant and gets frustrated with belts when he is getting dressed or using the restroom. My daughter just is...

JD Wolfe Pottery

December 9, 2009
I'm fairly crafty but, one of the things I've always been amazed by and wished that I could do is create pottery. I'm astounded by the amount of talent it takes to create beautiful art and how much patience and creativity it must take to handmake these pieces. When I came across JD Wolfe Pottery I was blown away by the handmade pieces in the store and became an instant fan of the uber talented handiwork.

JD Wolfe Pottery is a store filled with handmade pottery. You'll find everything from cof...
