Fisher Price Baby Bowling Set :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
Your baby doesn't have to be a perfect bowler to enjoy this gravity-defying baby bowling set! Set up the three 6-inch-high plastic pins, colored yellow, blue, and red, and then your baby can roll the purple bowling ball, with its traditional finger and thumb impressions, toward them. As each smiley-faced pin is knocked over, it flips onto its top-heavy head and remains upside-down until it is set upright again--an exercise that baby can perform. If baby bowlers don't quite have their bowling technique down, they can still have fun playing with the magical roly-poly pins. And they'll soon discover that one special pin rattles like a maraca when it's shaken. --Kathryn Gustafson

Baby Bowling Bowls them over with fun!

2001-06-05
My son received this gift for his first birthday and loved it. He is now 16 months and still plays with it. He puts his fingers in the holes of the bowling ball and carries it around the house, it is so cute. He loves the pins and carries them all over too just like little friends. He has sooooo many toys but still loves his bowling. I highly recommend it.

Baby Bowling "Pins" of Fun

2000-12-06
My one year old son loves this game. Having enjoyed it since about six months of age, his passion for this toy has increased over the months. His hands are now big enough that he can put his fingers into the holes and he loves the noise the pins make when they fall down. Mom loves the variety of colors it offers and enjoys educating him while entertaining him!

I'm really disappointed with this toy. It never kept my daughter's attention.

Toys like this needs a parents interaction, to learn ,

This toy offers a start to learning a game if the parent wants to be involved. Play awile, put away and your child will enjoy it more and you can have a game to enjoy together. The child will look forwardto it. thanks, remember toys are for fun and learning, not to babysit.

Cute concept

2000-08-12
My daugter likes this game OK. The heads of the pins are weighted, so when they are pushed even slightly, they pop over to stand on their heads. She thinks that's fun. The bowling ball isn't easy for her to grip though and the finger holes don't really help at all. The pins stand up fairly well which is more than I can say for some other bowling games we've had.

Gutter Ball

My 15 month old was interested in this toy for about three seconds. He loves throwing balls, so we thought he might like to try knocking down pins, but this hasn't appealed to him at all. He's not even interested in playing with the pins.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
