Backhoe

"I'd say even though it's pretty good, I would give it a four. Well, I love how the back boom actually moves and I love the shape of the back bucket. It kinda looks like a real hammer drill attachment. I like how it's John Deere Prairie coast colours. Baba made it without an impact driver and it's all held together with brads."

Easel

4 Star Review****

"Great for holding chalk in the compartment, good to store the brush. Very good 'cause you can clip paper up the top when you are painting. And there's a white board on the back, or the front, depending on how you look at it. VERY good, thank you!"

EJM

"Uh, I like it because it has a Kubota excavator on it. I like it because it's good for drawing on. I like it because it's high and I like it becuase you can draw animals on it."

Hoiho and Little Blue Penguins Checkers Set

5 Star review *****

"Amazing toy! I play with it quite a bit. I like that it's penguins that are my favorite animal BUT I also really like Macaws, that is who I am playing the checkers with. My Macaw's name is Mike."

EJM

(Addendum to the review near the conclusion of the game with Mike, "I'm cleanin' up here!")

(Addendum to the addendum, "Whoa. This Macaw is actually getting really smart. I've only got one left. I'm thinking it's gonna get jumped PRETTY soon.")

(Additional addendum, "I saw the perfect jump, and thought AWESOME. In the end, I won. It was close though. In the end Mike was getting pretty agressive. He got a bit embarrassed by losing.")

(Final addendum, during the set up of game three,"Mike's sweet, loving personality kinda usually fades away by the third game 'cause he is SO determined.")

Counting Stix

“I like my counting sticks. I do like them. I was playing them outside. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10”

"I like it because...Fibonacci!"

"I like it because it's red!"

"I like it because it has a light!"

"Looks the same as in the story!"

Tiddly Winks

5 Star review *****

"I'm thinkin 5 stars because I love how the tiny discs fly when the big discs push them (winks and squidgers.) Well, I love how they come in a little box and it has Babatoys.ca on it, that's whose this website is, you can just type it up on the internet. Well, they're fun."

EJM

Drum Sticks

"Good. Because they have an L on it!"

Parental reviews (overheard):

"Really!? ANOTHER drumstick? Where did this one even come from?"

"OK. This is getting ridiculous."

"How is this even possible?"

“Seriously?!"
