Ebeanstalk Alex Color & Cuddle Washable Bear Review

I received the Alex Color & Cuddle Washable Bear from Ebeanstalk to test and review. This toy is a soft bear that can be drawn on with markers, washed and drawn on again. It has preprinted patterns to color in and includes four washable markers with easy washing instructions.

I see the charm in a toy that also can be colored on to a child, but be warned that you should make sure that your child is old enough to understand that other toys or items should not be colored on unless specifically designed to be colored on. I would also recommend supervision for younger kids with this toy so they will not draw on other things with the markers. Although not quite a blank canvas because of the preprinted designs this bear is still a lot of fun to doodle on and it helps fuel creativity and imagination. The colors of the markers weren't really as bright as the pictures, but still worked well for coloring with on the bear. Because the bear is washable, your child will enjoy decorating the bear over and over again. It also can be a learning tool about colors and shapes. My daughter Teela had a lot of fun coloring this bear with the help and supervision of her older brother Jaedan and I. She loved how there were so many different ways to color it and after it was washed it was ready to color all over again.

Ebeanstalk.com Review

Christmas is just around the corner after Thanksgiving. If you have kids and haven't decided where to shop maybe you should checkout ebeanstalk and you can search for baby toys, kids toys, and more! Their website is specifically designed to make your life easier. You can narrow your search by only looking for toys for 1 year olds or even just toys for 1 year old boys. How much easier can it get?! Check it out for yourself.

Ebeanstalk has child specialists that are their experts at picking the brands, toys and other products they have on their website. They also have a section dedicated to learning development and milestones. They have created play ideas for each toy and have matched them with specific age groups.

I found the website very simple to navigate. I loved all the selection and age appropriate things and you can totally search for specifics. You can also make a wishlist for your kids. I like that they carry some eco-friendly and organic brands some of which are: Keptin Jr, Green Toys, Maxim Enterprise, Hape, Cloud B, Belle Baby, Baby Bjorn just to name a select few. They also have a whole section dedicated to some of their eco-friendly toys. Not only do they carry games and toys, but I also noticed that they carry baby carriers and car seats too. You can even purchase The Grow and Learn Gift Series in which every 3 months a new toy arrives expertly-matched to the stage of the development of the child you choose to send it to.

Ebeanstalk Fagus Wooden Mini Truck Review

Ebeanstalk is a website dedicated to selecting great baby toys and toddler toys. They rely on the opinions and feedback of bloggers and moms around the country to continue selecting great toys to sell. Their team of child experts also helps them pick out learning toys to make sure your child gets the most out of his or her playtime!

I received a Fagus Wooden Mini Truck to test and review from Ebeanstalk toys for free. Fagus makes wooden toys of exceptional quality. Fagus toys are made of beech wood. The Latin word fagus means beech. All their toys are made in Germany. I love toys like this that are simple and beautifully made. They invite active creativity, imagination and discovery in children. Fagus toys are interlocked, doweled and glued together. No staples, nails or screws are used. My kids love this wooden truck and now play with it more than their plastic toys. I believe this mini truck will last and will be cherished as one of the toys my kids end up keeping for many, many years.
