September 2015 Notable Toys — Infant & Toddler

Nello is a magic object and versatile, open-ended toy that quickly becomes an indispensable accessory for countless play activities, indoors and outdoors. It is a color puzzle, a nesting toy, a marble run, a floating island in the bath or a sand toy at the beach. You can roll, spin and swing the rings, throw and catch them. Use them as targets for games like tiddlywinks or as beautiful props for role and pretend play. Nello is made from high-quality, food-grade HD-PE, 100% recyclable.

On land or in the sea ... wherever, playing is just fun with this vehicle. It's ability to glide across the water will make your bath or beach time engaging.

Count up the fun with this neat number puzzle set! Use the colors and pictures on each piece as clues to figure out what numbers they create. Count all the way up to 5! Both children and parents will love how the amount of puzzle pieces corresponds to each number. 15 pieces total, made of sturdy cardboard.

Like his cousin, the award-winning Tranquil Turtle, Tranquil Frog transforms any room into a serene oasis.  Glowing in a relaxing lily pad green, the shell projects a magical underwater light effect and plays the soothing sounds of ocean waves and a seaside serenade.  The total effect provides for a calm and relaxing environment giving children a peaceful night’s sleep.  Tranquil Frog features a  23-minute timer with auto shut-off to ensure complete darkness during deep sleep, as recommended by pediatricians.
