Fisher Prices CDs & DVDs coming to Argos

Mood Entertainment, the company behind the pre-school range of Fisher Price toys is to hook up with Argos in an effort to boost sales of Fisher Price branded CD and DVDs aimed exclusively at babies and toddlers. This is a first for the Argos Catalogue, who have never before targeted DVD and CD Media exclusively at this age group.

The range will include ‘ABCs and 123s’ and features a selection of songs and video material for babies and toddlers. “Animal Classics” designed to introduce young children to the animal kingdom via means of songs and videos.

The range will also include three CDs of ‘Rainforest Music’ designed to relax and sooth babies up to the age of 18 months. The instrumental lullabies blended with sounds from nature, were developed by Mood Entertainment to encourage babies to sleep peacefully.

“This is an exciting development for Mood Entertainment and we are honoured to be working with such a high profile and well-known brand as Argos”, said Lorne Abony, CEO and chairman of Mood Media.

Little Tikes Magic Doorbell Playhouse

The Little Tike’s Magic Doorbell Playhouse is a delightful playhouse designed to feed and stimulate the imagination of your child. They may be only 2 years old but you know how kids learn by imitation; and what better way to imitate than to let them pretend to have their own miniature home. The manufacturer says it is designed to look just like a real house, but between you and me I think they are using a bit of, um artistic license, I pretty sure I haven’t seen a house like this one on my street. However your child can enter through the dutch door and look out large windows, which have shutters if they fancy a bit of privacy.
When ‘guests’ come to visit they can post letters through the ‘letterbox’, (say for example the mortgage bill) or press the working doorbell which makes 6 different household sounds! Just like a real house the interior has been ‘furnished’ with a stove, sink and much more.

When fully constructed the playhouse stands 121cm high and has an area of 128cm x 94cm, enough space for 2 young children to play comfortably inside. Built from roto-moulded double walled plastic, the Magic Doorbell Playhouse is durable, weather resistant and guaranteed to stand the test of time. Suitable for children aged between 18 months and 5 years, this outstanding playhouse is an excellent way to assist outdoor fun.

First Steps Walker, Pink Vtech

Awww, A baby walker how cute. I’m not going to dis-respect these because they are very useful. After all the sooner your baby gets walking, the sooner they start to become interesting. No, bear with me here think about it. What do babies do if they can’t walk? Nothing thats what. They just lie there gurgling a bit, crying (probably because they can’t walk) and filling their nappy. Ok its cute a first but it does wear a bit thin at 3 O Clock in the morning. Doesn’t it? So surely when a baby can walk they can get up in the night and use the toilet without disturbing anyone. Well, perhaps not (but I bet there’s a fisher price toy out there somewhere that will train them to do exactly that). Anyway if you want to contribute to the the old adage ‘Kids Grow up So Quickly These Days” then get yourself one. I know I did.

Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera

Kids want to grow up so quickly don’t they. Hardly out of nappies and they want to be texting their friends on mobile phones, attending every party they get invited to, (way more than I ever got invited to when I was a kid by the way, their lives seem to be one big social whirl these days) and snapping pictures to put on facebook whenever they get the opportunity. Ok maybe I’m talking about my teenage daughter here, but if you want to make sure your little girl walks the same path then you can start her early with the Kiddizoom multimedia Digital Camera.

This selection of cameras is robust, and available in 4 flavours (blue, pink, camoflage, or pro), thus catering for both boys and girls. These 2 megapixel cameras are designed especially for kids, durable (because we know they’ll drop them out of a window at some point), and easy to use with enough memory to store up to 200 photos and 5 minutes of movies. You can expand this with support for a 2GB SD card. The pro version features a 2x optical Zoom and dual viewfinder to allow for easier use.

Peppa Pigs Palace

Oink Oink a pig in a palace. Now, I’m the first to admit that my kids are too old for Peppa Pig (although I understand my Niece is a devoted fan!) so I’m somewhat out of my depth when it comes to doing a right up on this product. However, I do know that Peppa Pig is very popular with the little ones and so this introduction to the Peppa Pig range of toys should prove no different. When you read the following words however, do bear in mind that they are entirely not my own….

This amazing Palace is a home fit for Princess Peppa! Her beautiful Palace folds out to reveal a banqueting hall and many other rooms and accessories including, King & Queen thrones, beds, table & chairs, oven cauldron and two exclusive guardsmen to protect Peppa and her Royal Family! Age 3+

Hmm, perhaps I should get my four year old niece to do the write up. What the heck, I’ll just buy her it instead.
