Not sure what do get for your little one this year? Are you looking for something that your child will enjoy but that will also develop some important skills like self-expression and creativity? ALEX is the answer for you!
ALEX has been around for over 20 years now. They offer high quality creative products for children. Over the years, ALEX’s selection has expanded and now include imaginative and dramatic play, fashion and jewelry, furniture, products for preschoolers, and toys for baby.
For this review, I received the Bop and Roll which is part of the ALEX Jr. collection. It is recommended for babies 10+ months. It is a colorful wooden structure with 3 wooden balls and a mallet. Baby can hit the ball and see it roll down the structure.
The quality of the construction is outstanding. My daughter has been using it as support to stand up (with me right beside) when she wants to place one of the ball on the structure. Also, the bright colors are very appealing to my daughter. She points to the various creatures painted on it. As an adult, I appreciate that each tier has a different color and design.
My daughter has quickly learned how to play with this toy. She can hold a ball (actually, she usually has one in each hand!) and places it on top of the structure. She also understands that she needs to use the mallet but can’t quite aim it on the ball. After a couple tries, she usually decides to hit it with her hand. It works just as well! Then she laughs as the ball rolls down and tries to catch it before it reaches the bottom.
The Bop and Roll helps her develop hand-eye coordination and cause and effect relationships. It also provides great visual and tactile stimulation. I strongly recommend it. It’s a great learning tool from a parent’s perspective and a fun and motivating toy from a baby’s perspective!
