What Moms Are Saying About
Little Tikes Toys
What differentiates these racers are that these characters are soft, removable and washable. When you
remove the plush ride-on, it is just a sweet pillow – no handle to get in the way of cuddles! So imagine, this
can really become their best friend, giving them rides during the day and keeping them “safe” at night. And
the price is right for double the fun – only $39.99. These plush racers are suggested for ages 18 – 36 months.

This is the ultimate baby toy, it just has so much to play with, from sounds to touch this activity garden, will
get your little tykes attention and they will not want to stop playing with the set too. I would whole
heartedly recommend DiscoverSounds® Activity Garden from Little Tikes, this is something that would
engage your young child’s mind and it is well made, and will stand up to an active child. The Activity Garden
is a nice size too, this fit well in the playroom my brother has. This is something that your child will love for
sure. - http://www.susansdisneyfamily.com/2012/04/discoversounds-activity-garden-from.html
… but I have especially loved watching my kids come up with their own clever possibilities. It seemed as
though each time they took the TikeStix apart, they put them back together in a new, original way! Little
Sister B had a friend that was nearly life size. ...and the girls have had a great time turning these pieces into
any number of animals. The most popular seemed to be the "bug with many legs... ...and some sort of
creature that looked to be part bug, part rhinoceros and maybe part turtle? http://www.thanksmailcarrier.com/2012/04/little-tikes-tikestix-clubhouse.html
I have told you all how much we adore construction toys for kids. Both of my kids have loved playing with
blocks since a very young age. I encourage construction play as this is how our world is built. They
strengthen fingers and hands not to mention hand/eye coordination and develop critical thinking skills. I
could go on with all the advantages of construction toys and building blocks, but I won’t since many know
they are beneficial toys for children. As my children age, I am always on the lookout for age-appropriate
construction play type toys my kids will enjoy and I found them the ideal toy which is from Little Tikes. http://kiddiescornerdeals.com/2012/04/little-tikes-tikestix/
I have been a fan of Little Tikes toys for a long time, 17 years to be exact.I received a pink little tikes rocking
chair and matching toy box as a shower gift for my now 17 year old daughter. It lasted until she outgrew it and
we passed it on to friends where it also lasted until their daughter out grew it. Little Tikes are known for their
durable, imaginative and active toys. The cozy coupe cars and playhouses have been around for what seems like
ever and they continue to create new products which are sure to be favorites. http://thatsitmommy.com/2012/05/indoor-or-outdoor-fun-little-tikes-tikestix-playhouse-review-giveaway
When you have young kids, you always seem to buy their toys from a few trusted names. I know for me, and I
am sure for you, one of those trusted names is Little Tikes. Little Tikes is a household name for children that
makes truly durable, great, and exciting toys. Pretty much anytime I have to purchase a gift for one of Hayley or
Zane’s friends, I turn to Little Tikes. I know they would not steer me wrong as we have a ton of their toys
currently in our household, and I have only had the greatest compliments on their products. –

The Little Tikes Big Digger Sandbox was a huge hit with W and his friends! It was also great for J and I because it
was so easy to assemble and then when it was also a breeze to clean up and put away because the lid is built
right in! We won’t ever have to wonder what happened to the lid because it is attached to the side of the
sandbox when it’s open! The Big Digger Sandbox is a great addition to our outdoor toys (which is actually made
up of a number of Little Tikes toys) and will be getting a lot of use this summer. If you are looking for a sandbox,
I highly recommend checking out the variety Little Tikes sandboxes! http://formulamom.com/little-tikes-bigdigger-sandbox/
We have many Little Tikes toys throughout our house and I knew this new product was sure to be a hit. A Dino
Pillow Racer!! Come on! That’s toy gold in our house! Anything dinosaur related is “hot” plus adding wheels to
anything is sure to be a hit. For the record they do offer a ladybug and turtle pillow racers option, but I knew the
Dino model was the only one for our home. Just like the variety of other Little Tikes toys we already have I
expected a high degree of quality and child/parent friendly aspects to this new contraption. I was not
disappointed. - http://themamareport.com/toys/little-tikes-2/
