Lamaze toys are great! I love them and more importantly my children love them! I was first introduced to Lamaze when someone sent us an Elephantunes toy when our daughter was born. This so was so well timed, she was 6 weeks old and couldn't take her eyes off it, it was the first time that we were able to eat our dinner without being interrupted!!
Once my daughter was a few weeks older we decided she needed some more toys and she loved the elephants crinkly ears so I stood in John Lewis feeling for the crinkliest toys and there was Freddie the Firefly. He has crinkly wings that are black and white on the reverse, teething rings and makes a noise when you shake him. Our daughter loved him!
Another great Lamaze present we received when our daughter was born was the wrist rattles and feet finders. These are great for developing eyes and ears and are a great present. Both our children have loved wearing them and searching for what is rattling as well as trying to chew it!
We have all of the above in our house plus a few more lamaze toys! I think they are great for children's development without being too garish for mums!! They are great presents for any friends that have had children.
Do you have a favourite lamaze toy?
I've got the fly, and a sheep that my son love to look at when we are in the car, or in the pram. Also have the feet finders but haven't used them yet!
ReplyDeleteThey're great although the foot finders tend to slip off so if you have any sock on's it helps if you put these over the top!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sucker for Lamaze too!! Captain Calamari was given to us (by my parents) along with the foot and wrist rattles when he was born. He is my total favourite, we now have the captain calamari book (which is awesome) also a captain calamari teething puppet thing and rusty the robot….i like to think of captain calamari and rusty the robot as the woody and buzz of our house!! told ya…..we are suckers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was a captain calamari book or teething puppet... Will have to go and find these now as I do love lamaze! We bought captain calamari for our son for our daughter to give him when he was born but for some reason have named him captain Clive!!
