Farmer's Market Color Sorting Set Review

Okay, so a few weeks ago we made this awesome purchase for baby for only $20 on Amazon! (It usually sells for $40.) 

Let me just say we love this set so much, I actually purchased a few other sets including:  

 Sprouts Fruit and Veggie Tote

  New Sprouts Grill

Sprouts Picnic Set

I made the last three purchases on Zulily a few weeks ago (for almost half the regular price) but have not received them yet. (Zulily products take forever to ship... :/)

Anyways, here is my Farmer's Market Color Sorting Set Review

Product Logistics:

- 25 foods ("Each food is relationally sized" to one another") 

- 5 baskets (4"H x 5.5"D)

Farmer's Market Color Sorting Set 

When & why I made this purchase:

I made this purchase a few weeks ago (after tons of research) for my daughter (10 months). The recommended age for this product is 3+ but I took the risk knowing that my daughter needed play food for her kitchen. I could have easily purchased felt play food or any other soft play food but I wanted to invest in something that would last longer.

What we DO like about this purchase:

-Perfect for small hands. 

-The quality of the food is great. 

-It seems like the each piece will be able to last a really long time.  

-Each piece has awesome detail, and is relationally sized to one another. In other words, the pumpkin is the largest and the berries are the smallest. 

- Perfect for our daughter who is only 10 months old.

- The price I paid ($20) was great for the quality of food and amount of food included.

What we DON'T like about this purchase:

I would have preferred that the baskets be made out of real wood.

Would I recommend this product:

I will most definitely recommend this product to everyone I know! I am thrilled to be have found the perfect addition to my daughters play kitchen. & best of all my daughter loves her play food!

Young Maestro Baby Shaker Review (Baby's favorite!)

I'll be writing a few reviews every now and then. 

Most reviews will be on toys for infants/toddlers.

The first toy review I'll be doing will be on these lovely shakers. 

Product Logistics:

They are called Young Maestro Baby Shakers and they come in a set of 4! The average price for this set is $29.99 and they can be found at Target, ToysRus & amazon.com (along with many other department stores).They are a little longer than 5 inches and about 2 inches wide. (The product description online says differently.)

Young Maestro Baby Shaker (Set of 4)

When & why I made this purchase:

I purchased these shakers a month or two before my daughter was born (September/October 2013). 

I initially made this purchase because I was looking for rattles and these shakers were the closest thing to what I was looking for. 

At the time of the purchase I was a pre-school teacher. As a pre-school teacher I learned so much about what toys are best for each age group and what toys I like best.

What we DO like about this purchase:

So far, we really like these shakers.

Each shaker makes a different sound. They are all easy for a toddler to handle. Eliana's favorites are the red and blue shakers but she uses all 4. She's been using them ever since she began grasping onto things. In fact, we always have to carry at least one of these with us because they are Eliana's favorite!

It's nice that each shaker is a different color & that they are easy to clean (I wipe them with a damp cloth or quickly run them under water).

What we DON'T like about this purchase:

First, I don't remember these being $30. I'm pretty sure the most I would have ever purchased these for would be $20 so the price must have gone up or I got a some kind of discount. Anyways, before purchasing these, I would research where you could buy them for the best price. 

Would I recommend this product:

Yes, in fact I would. They are the perfect addition to any playroom.
