Munchkin Wet Wheels Bath Toys Colors Vary Review

Munchkin Wet Wheels Bath Toys Colors Vary Review
The picture had shown two toys when I bought this item and the title is Munchkin Wet Wheels Bath Toys which would also lead you to believe you would receive two toys. We only received the turtle and I thought there was a mistake with the order. I think $7.98 is too much money to spend on this bath toy. It would be a reasonable price if you received both toys.
Ok... it may be obvious to some, but it wasn't to me. When I looked at the picture and it showed 2 bath toys and the title said "Toys" in the plural, I wrongly assumed that you were getting both bath toy(s) for the $7.99 price. Add the fact that nowhere in the shopping process are you allowed to select which toy you'd like to order (the dolphin or the turtle) and it all points to the fact that you're getting both. WRONG!! You get 1 toy, and you get no choice as to which one it is. This is especially important since we have twins, but I would have the same frustration if I only had 1 baby... it just feels like false advertising. Next time I'll know to inquire with customer service. Not only was I disappointed for not getting both, but when I realized I had payed $8 for 1 toy, I feel like it was overpriced for the small amount of plastic involved in making this.



So how do I rate the toy... it's a nice toy.. very simple and does all that it should do. Floats like it says... rolls like it says... and basically is a bath toy (duh!). Nothing special... but at 12 months, my kids would probably be happy with an empty plastic pop bottle in their bath. :-D

Rattlesnake Squirt Review

Rattlesnake Squirt Review
The photo doesn't do it justice. The painted detail of this snake is remarkable and it is the first fake snake I've ever held that made me nervous.



I bought it to keep birds off of my deck and out of my garden but yes, I admit it, I also had someone in mind that is terrified of snakes and it sure did the trick when I sprung it on them.



The snake is in a realistic pose compared to most fake snakes and its head is reared up which helps make it realistic. This snake comes across more of like a biology prop than a rubber toy because it is so realistic.


I purchased the snake not as a toy, rather for my garden. It does look pretty real except for the seam that runs lateral to its body. The head looks real and the body would be realistic if were not for the seam.



One person that was looking at my garden was frightened when she saw the snake.



I also have an Owl and the motion detecting Scarecrow to keep birds out. Between all of them it seems to be working.

Dog Rubber Ducks - Set of 12 Review

Dog Rubber Ducks - Set of 12 Review
They are kind of small but my four year old and 2 1/2 year old love to play in the tub with them. My 5 month old likes them because they are small and easy for him to hold. Over all I would buy them again they make nice little gifts

Thomas & Friends: Preschool Thomas & Bulstrode Bath Buddies Review

Thomas & Friends: Preschool Thomas & Bulstrode Bath Buddies Review
My grandson is still in the "Thomas" stage. I was advised that he had his heart set on "diesel" for his birthday present. So we ordered one from Amazon and noticed Thomas and Bulstrade. It was so inexpensive, we ordered one. It turned out to be the big hit at his party. He pushed it around the floor, ignoring more expensive toys.. I am sure he will like it even more when he gets to use it in his bath.
The thing barely stands a chance against a toddler. It barely floats, best suited for older children perhaps. The boat spends most of its bath life at the bottom with Davy Jone's locker. Thomas the Train floats quite well however.

Alex Toys Tub tune Symphony Review

Alex Toys Tub tune Symphony Review
I did not keep this item very long before sending it back. The blue thing holding the flutes together was just a toe separater...VERY flimsy. The flutes would have just fallen out had I allowed my child to play with them. The drum is small but I didn't really have complaints about that. My main complaint was that the product showed up USED when it was supposed to be new! There were HAIRS in the tape holding the pieces inside the box and there were parts of the xylophone that were missing. Yours may not come in this condition, but this was completely unacceptable!
The xylophone sounds nice, but not sure why the keys come apart, just something else to loose. Sound is pretty, but the keys are small and a little hard to hit accurately for little ones. The drum is has a rather dead tone, but still fun to bang on in the tub. I like that you can change the pitch by tipping it and letting some water in underneath. The flutes do not retain the amount of water you put in due to the required air vent need to play them if you let them fall int he water, but they sound nice. Several songs included. All-in-all a fun toy set for the tub.
