A Fun, Interactive Kitchen
This interactive toy kitchen needs minimal set up once you unpack it from the box. The only piece you'll need to assemble for your child is the green garbage can, which snaps into place and stays put with the two accompanying Phillips-head screws. Three AA batteries are included with purchase.

The toy has a case-like design that incorporates features on the outside and inside. One side of the exterior features a refrigerator door with a handle and slots for inserting food shapes like a carton of milk, a bunch of carrots, and a jar of apple sauce. These plastic toys slide into a storage compartment that your child can access inside the refrigerator. Around the corner, an interactive kitchen boasts plenty of buttons that emit familiar cartoon sound effects.

Your child will be fascinated by the sounds of sizzling on the stove or running water from the faucet. An oversized switch clicks on a kitchen light, and a track ball on the toy clock makes a tick-tock noise when moved. Opening the fridge reveals the storage compartment, which holds the plastic food and utensils, and an interactive book that makes fruits and vegetables fun and appealing.

Cook Up Learning and Play
The Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Learning Kitchen provides a way for your child to learn through interactive play. He can begin to build a vocabulary of words and greetings in English and Spanish, and learn to recognize shapes, sizes, colors, numbers, and letters. The toy also emphasizes manners, healthy eating, hygiene, and opposites such as on or off.

This toy promotes problem-solving skills and allows you to be part of the process. As your child presses buttons, opens the fridge, and flips switches, you can help him make connections that will facilitate learning and reinforce knowledge. With more than 20 catchy songs and musical activities, this toy packs plenty of entertaining features that your child will love.

The case-like design of this toy kitchen opens and shuts easily, but rest assured, the smooth plastic is safe and won't be much of a surprise if it closes during play. The plastic hinge won't catch on your child's skin or little fingers. You'll wish your kitchen was this easy to tidy and clean.

Volume Control
This toy has two sound settings for those moments when you need to take it down a notch. You can also opt to turn off the interactive modes for silent play.

What's in the Box
Plastic toy kitchen with three AA batteries, garbage can with two screws, three food shapes, two plastic utensils, and an instructional booklet.

Playskool Busy Basics Form Fitter (Colors May Vary)

Playskool Busy Basics Form Fitter (Colors May Vary) Review


See more picture


Playskool Busy Basics Form Fitter (Colors May Vary) Feature

  • Brand new!
Playskool has been making the same shape-sorting toy for so many years, parents may worry about their own regression rather than their child's. For young children, however, the Form Fitter is still reliably educational. The big, bold, yellow cube has cutout shapes on each side; three per side make each of the six sides look like a different, silly face. The cookie-cutter pieces in blue, green, and red get matched up and dropped in. Be aware that some of the shapes look very similar, so it takes practicing shape discrimination to get it just right. There's an extra clue built into the Form Fitter, too: each side has a different texture, and the shapes that fit in that side have the same texture. When all the shapes are done, one side flips up to release them from their cubed cage, letting preschool learning run free one more time. --Lynne Sampson

This multi-textured cube and basic shapes makes it fun for toddlers to learn their shapes and colors! Kids match the colorful shapes and textures with their corresponding holes. The shapes store inside the cube for easy storage and shape-sorting fun on the go. Nine different colorful shapes.  

  • For Ages: 18 months & up.

When little wobblers are bored with walls and sofa edges, and there's no one to offer a hand, they can two-foot it safely across that open ocean of living-room floor with the help of the Step Start walker. This dual-purpose toy acts as stable support as they learn to walk, then lets them roll along when they want to ride. Once they are secure on their legs, the walker converts easily to a first ride-on toy. (Only adults can operate the wheel-lock mechanism.) A flexible antenna, spinning drum, clicking gear, and other sight-touch-sound features provide sit-down play fun. Assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver. --Ava Natov It's 2 toys in 1! As a sturdy, stable walker, the Step Start Walk 'n Ride toy helps babies learn to stand, take their first steps, and walk. As the grow older, it easily converts to a first ride-on toy! It has a locking mechanism that only parents can activate, so children can't change modes by themselves. Kids can explore the hands-on activities in both the walker and ride-on modes to see fascinating sights, hear silly sounds and touch interesting textures. Adult assembly required

"Stop and go," that’s what riding the school bus is all about. That and enjoying the bumpy, "wiggly-wobbly" ride, of course! This cute bus will appeal to every toddler and preschooler who has gazed longingly out the window as the big kids board the big yellow bus, off to exotic destinations unknown. Measuring 12 inches long and half again as wide, the durable plastic bus rolls through town, jostling the passengers with the aforementioned "wiggly-wobbly" action. Push down on driver Carlos and see flashing lights, plus hear the "Stop and Go" song, beeping horns, giggling children, and commentary from the driver ("Everyone sit down…let’s go to school!" etc.). The bus includes driver, two passengers, a wheelchair for one of the riders, a swiveling stop sign, a door that opens, and easy access through the roof for children to play with the figures. The ideal toy to while away the hours until the real thing arrives in a few years! Check out the entire line of Lil’ Movers vehicles. Three AA batteries required (not included).
