We are a Fisher Price family
We have not been chosen for anything
We chose Fisher Price
One of the first baby items that we bought
For Esther and William
Shared by Baby Tilda
Was a Fisher Price Take Along Swing
Esther, William and Tilda
Also all shared a Fisher Rainforest Gym
That they all adored

And a bouncy chair
And our much used, much loved Newborn to Toddler Rockers

I have spoken before on the blog
About our love for Fisher Price
And am so pleased that Bea has now been given the chance
To start a Fisher Price collection of her own
I know that this is a brand that will help our daughter
For the last two weeks Baby Bea has been testing a Fisher Price Baby Gym Mat
The rather fabulous Kick and Play Piano Gym
Bea is only a month old so she is very new to the world
We started using the gym two weeks ago
I would lay her on the mat and she would have a kick and a play
Her eyes were drawn to the black and white zebra toy
She has now started trying to touch this toy
As well as look at it
Which makes my heart swell with pride
My little girl is growing
And starting to explore the world around her
The Kick and Play Gym Mat from Fisher Price

Is suitable for babies from birth
It has four different modes
So is truly a toy that grows with your little one
So far we have only used the first mode
I lay Bea on her back
And let her feet kick against the piano
At the same time she stares at the toys hanging above her
And has just started trying to reach for them
With her jerky arms and chubby hands trying to bat the toys
She is always a little startled when she manages to make contact
I give her lots of praise as do Esther and William
Baby Bea is very rarely left to play alone!

Esther and William love their baby sister
And they love the piano on her gym!
The piano can be removed from the gym
And often is and carried off by Baby Bea’s ever helpful siblings!
The music on the piano gym is great
It has different settings of single sounds or
Pieces of music that are recognisable tunes
The music can play continuously or just when the piano is touched or kicked
There is also a handy volume control!

The gym is jungle themed
Filled with bright colours and friendly characters
The crinkly black and white zebra
Perfect for newborn eyes to find and focus on
The elephant clackers, hippo teether
And the rather fantastic rollerball frog

The gym has a cushioned play mat
That is comfortable for baby to lay and play on
The mat can be machine washed
Which has already proved useful
With mucky, germy older siblings
I am looking forward to watching Bea get to grips with her Fisher Price gym
I cannot wait til she starts smiling and babbling at the colourful creatures
I am excited about seeing her develop more head control
And start to use the tummy time mode more
I can’t wait to see our Rainbow Baby discover herself in the sunshine mirror
I hope to one day see Bea grin at me as she sits up playing her piano
Has been the perfect first step into the world of play things
I am certain that it will continue to be a favourite in our house
For years to come
As our children continue to discover their way
Their world
We were sent one Fisher Price Kick and Play Gym for the purpose of this review

From Earth
Boats sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier than these.
There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.

To Sky
Our first outing with the Ooba was a washout. It was one of those days, a rainbow day, filled with sunshine and showers. I put Bea into the spacious carry cot and she concentrated hard on the pretty floral design … Continue reading
