Superhero Toys : Cute Plush Superheros for Babies, Toddlers and Kids of All Ages

May6

Looking for Superhero Toys for your child?

These Superhero plush toys are adorable! The brand Funko creates these very cute little superhero “dolls” or “stuffed animals”. Even though they say ages 3 and up, most of the Plushies do not have “small parts”. (I am not, however, endorsing giving these plushies to children under the age of 3).

Songs for children in French

Les Chansons Des Clipounets are CDs and DVDs and even an app with comptines (nursery rhyme songs). For ages 1 and up, the DVD is awesome! It has animated videos that illustrates the lyrics of traditional French nursery rhymes, such as Frère Jacques . The DVDs are designed for language stimulation and to introduce sounds, words, and sentences to babies.

Check out the Clipounets website for all of the DVDs, apps and more …

Check out a sample video of the French version of the Itsy Bitsy Spider (or Incy Wincy Spider if you are in Britain;)

My son is a huge fan of the Giggle Bellies, we watch their videos on YouTube and have the DVD’s for when you don’t want to sit at a desk. The animation is detailed and is 3D and the songs are beautifully interpreted. We LOVE the GiggleBellies!
