Ride Lion in Stride

Hey SOTY family! I just wanted to tell you all about this stride and ride. Blake is constantly having a blast playing with this toy. So with that being said, I’m not sure why, but kids seems to be drawn to animals. Kids are also drawn to things they can push like shopping carts or strollers. Well this stride and ride lion is both a lion and something that kids can push around. Mom and dad have tried many different kinds of push toys for Blake, and this one takes the cake! This stride and ride lion is Blake's favorite push toy, and that is why it is a featured favorite in her toy box. Fisher Price has really developed some awesome toys to help develop motor skills in young children. The moment that we placed Blake on this she started scooting around and developing her motor skills. Blake enjoys placing balls in the lion's mouth, and pushing on all the lights and buttons. Now, it is important for you to know that if you are searching for a quiet toy, then this stride and ride lion is not a good fit for you. This toy has well over 80 different noises or phrases that keep your baby engaged and entertained. Mom and dad Yeager do not mind the noise or sounds. Blake giggling and having a great time is the best sound of all. The Stride and Ride does light up around the lion mane .Sometimes Blake needs help pushing the buttons because they can be tricky. Her siblings don't mind jumping in and helping her out. This riding and pushing lion toy is a fun interactive experience for Blake. The colors, lights, buttons, and balls are all good developmental stimulation that promote hand eye coordination.

Musical Learning Table

The next featured favorite toy in Blakes toy box is this awesome musical learning table. Blake absolutely adores this table! When she gets herself pulled up to this table she loves to push all of the keys.The keys are easy for Blake to push down, and each time she pushes them down the table lights up and plays music. The keys also make a variety of sounds. She also likes to spin the knobs, which also make noise. Mom has noticed that the noises that come out of this table are much softer than other toys Blake plays with. The music table is pretty cool. Mom will tie this table to Blake's bed for when it is nap time,and when she wakes up she can play for a little bit. The tie portion has a rope set with the board, so mom and dad don’t have to worry that she is going to bunk her cute little head. Now, I do need to inform you that this table does make noise, but not near as much as some of her other toys. There is an on/off switch to control the noise, but kids seem to find that switch pretty fast. If you need a more quite time, the two AA batteries that are on the back of the toy can easily be removed. It's all about the play, Blake loves the lights and classic melodies that sing as she hits the notes. Mom can just see her imagination growing. It really is fun seeing Blake enjoying standing/sitting on the floor playing with the Musical table. Also, the musical learning table is made with non-toxic plastic. This is an added benefit because Blake loves putting things in her mouth. This product is parent approved and Blake approved.
