Baby to Love is building a reputation for original, innovative and trend leading products.
Frost Magazine asked our prime ‘tester’ Miss Delilah to give her considered opinion. Now. Miss Delilah, heading towards 2 years old, is not backward in coming forwards with an emphatic no, so we’re all pretty scared when the product displeases. Arghhhh – head for the hills.
No such problem this time. She found Jean the Toucan in the garden, having flown in overnight from the rainforest, flap flap, then a glide. (They’re not very good at flying apparently). She also found Jean easy and manageable to handle with her tiddly hands. In part due to the size, but also Jean’s soft texture and rounded shape. The musical box toucan, is, to be scientific, squidgy, much like Miss Delilah in a good mood. Gulp.
The music is tucked away inside Jean, and the tune is Over the Rainbow – very appropriate for a toucan when you think about it. In fact, this is a hallmark of Baby to Love – the thought that goes into these products.
To produce the music, someone with bigger hands has to pull the cord which is situated, if one might be indelicate, at the bottom of the toucan. Miss Delilah hadn’t the strength to pull it, but perhaps it’s as well, or it would have been going all day.
Each animal has a different melody, but all are tranquil to keep things under control, and clearly this range of music boxes is helpful for sensory development: vision, hearing, and tactility. I think too, that it stimulated Miss Delilah’s curiosity, and we found a toucan in a book, which she was able to relate to.
All in all, a thumbs up, from our rather scary tester – phew.
Do think of one for any new babies on the horizon, or that one year old birthday present. One of these animals will be sure to please. The packaging, incidentally is gorgeous, with a carrying handle, and wallpaper ‘innards’ displaying all the animal music boxes. Light to send as well.
