Neat little toy for toddlers and younger. It's colourful, interesting and engaging for their young minds and keeps them entertained for a while. It looks just like an egg carton, and each egg with a chick inside fits into its own space.PROS:Very colourful and engaging. Each egg has a different facial expression and different coloured chick inside.Develops fine motor skills. The eggshells fit neatly on top of each chick, the chicks fit into their own space, and the carton closes and locks with a little catch. Each egg has a different shape on the bottom which slots into the corresponding shape in the egg carton.The chicks 'chirp' when pressed. This is a nice little addition to an otherwise excellent toy.CONS:The chicks 'chirp'when pressed down, but it's tricky for little ones to make the sound come out. It takes a solid and rapid press for the noise to be made so some younger children won't be able to do it.There is a hole and a screw at the bottom of each egg right in the middle of the shape. This is distracting for little ones as they see a heart or a square with a hole cut out in the middle of it. This is a major design fault in my opinion because the shapes at the bottom of the eggs correspond with the shapes in the carton and the little one finds it difficult to identify the shape with a hole in it.The catch on the carton is very tricky to open (even for myself!) My two-year-old can't open it herself, and so always brings it to me to open. This should be made slightly easier to open.OVERALL:This is an excellent toy for the price. Even though there are a few drawbacks (which could be easily rectified by the manufacturer) it's certainly a worthwhile toy to have. We spend a long time playing with it sorting out the shapes, fitting the shells to the eggs and role playing with the chicks. I would buy this again and would certainly purchase it as a gift for a friend with a young child.

This is a wonderful little toy. I bought a set for my daughter's first Christmas when she was about a month old, and it was one of the first toys she wanted to explore as soon as she could sit up. Even very young babies seem to be fascinated by these eggs; my daughter loved taking them out of the box (figuring out the simple catch to open it was another fun challenge) and would sit for ages taking off the shell lids and examining the different colour chicks. She's now just over a year and still loves to play with these. Now, she is big enough to make the chicks squeak and can put the shells back together again. The eggs also have different shaped bases to extend the matching and sorting activities,and the different faces on the egg shells can also be colour matched to the chicks as well as being talking points for exploring the emotions portrayed by the different expressions. Once she's outgrown the baby play aspect of this toy, I can see it graduating to our play kitchen for shopping and cooking role play.I was very impressed by the quality of this toy, especially considering it is such a reasonable price. The yellow box is made of thick, strong plastic and so is very robust. I was concerned that the hinges would wear out quickly as they seem to be a weak point, but they are proving to be stronger than they look. The eggs themselves have kept their squeak, and look like they'll last forever unless we lose a shell (a very real risk since my daughter loves to carry them around). They are a decent size too, so I wasn't concerned about her putting them in her mouth. I highly recommend them as a baby toy - they are cheap, well made, and provide lots of opportunities for developing motor skills, colour recognition, shape matching and role play. Why wouldn't you get them?!

This toy is deffinately worth the money... im now 17 and this had to be my all time favorouite toy from when I was little. It was actually my brothers but I can remember having hours of fun with it! (apart from my brother had lost one of the eggs). It is well worth the money and I can gurantee that this will be the toy your child will remember from their own childhood :) its the best toy of all time!My neice has who is 9 months old absoloutley loves this toy! (not the same one I used to have) but because I used to love it sooo much i got one for my neice. She is still not old enough to sort it into shapes but she loves emptying all of the eggs onto the floor and taking them all apart!she still doesnt seem to be taking any attention of the faces on the eggs but she loves to make them squeak which always makes her laugh!this is a MUST have toy! and I promise it will be well worth the money you spend on it! I can remember still enjoying playing with it when I was about 5 or 6! (at this stage it was more with my shopping trolley and trying to 'fry' the eggs) but i gurantee it will be worth the money. It is a travel toy which can be used almost anywhere, my mum use to bring it when we use to go out to eat with friends because it use to keep us all quiet! It is a very reasonable price and you wont regret it because your child will get years of fun out of it!

My 9 month old daughter has enjoyed tipping the eggs out of the box and bashing the lids together. She is clearly enjoying discovering the different shapes and colours and they have kept her occupied for quite a while compared to other toys for the same price - however, it says on here that they are suitable from birth - and yet the packaging says that they are for 12months and above - which means I am paranoid about letting her play with them without my complete attention as she is only 9 months...I simply wouldn't have purchased them if I'd have known this.The 'squeak' the eggs are supposed to give is barely audible - it is just made by air passing through a small gap, so a feeble whistle really...I doubt she even notices it happens when you push them down... so again was left disappointed on that one... but I can't deny that she DOES like playing with them!Since writing the above section, my daughter is now 19 months, and I have to admit they have been a great toy during this time...so I felt the need to amend my previous 3 star review. I have since bought 3 more for friends babies, since I realise now what an invaluable toy this has become, holding her attention more than the majority of toys she has. It is a really good price for the amount of playtime she has had out of them.

I bought these after reading reviews that said they were a “go to” toy. My little one didn’t really bother with toys but it was worth a try. He LOVES these and spends ages playing with them. He’s only 9 months old so he can’t work them properly yet but he still gets a lot of enjoyment from the box and the pieces.This toy is suitable for a wide age range. The box is extremely sturdy and the pieces are chunky for little hands, perfect for babies.bits lightweight, despite the plastic being a good thickness. Each egg has a different shaped bottom which fits into a particular part of the base for when they’re a little older. The egg tops are colour coded but fit all the different eggs so can be colour coded as they learn.My little one spends a long time banging the egg shell pieces together, they’ve been very durable so far. He also uses them as teething toys, they’ve had a right good chew on many occasions.The only negative I have is on a personal level. I’m the one who has to pick it up and put it back together at the end of each day. I’ve got to pretend that it’s not satisfying putting all the pieces in the right place, lining up the faces so they all face forward and sitting my nice, neat box to the side ready for the next play session.

This is probably my daughters favourite toy. The recommended age is 12 months, however my daughter was bought these (for easter instead of chocolate!) when she was 6 months old. Immediately she was fascinated by them but at that age just enjoyed bashing them about and knocking the tops off the eggs each time mummy put them in the box. My daughter is now 15 months and she still loves playing with them and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Now when she plays with them she tries to put them into the different holes in the box (as the bottom of each one is a different shape). She is much more interested in what is inside the egg and is now able to press the chick herself and get it to make the "chirpy" noise which she finds hilarious.My daughter knows some sign language and signed "bird" when playing with these yesterday which was lovely. I think these make a fab present and have already bought some as gifts for friends and family. I am really impressed with the longevity of this toy and think it is great value for money. Also it doesn't take up much room in the toy box which is always handy!

I gave this to my 8 month old and he likes playing with it. He hasn't gone for the TV remote or my phone since he got the eggs.Lovely bright colours, easy for little hands to hold, and helps them develop their motor skills as well as adding an element of hiding /finding.I love the little "egg carton" it comes in too, making it easy to tidy up or, transport and take to grandparents houses etc. As with most of the toys that seem to be a success in our house, no batteries included, no irritating songs telling you to count or press or dance or whatever.I can see this being one of those classic toys that kids of this generation will remember in the future as part of their childhood.Price wise,I thought it was in line with what is expect of a good quality toy.I read one of the negative reviews about a child fitting the eggshell in their mouth. It seems quite large to do so - about the same size as the smallest stacking cup we have - but at any rate it has a tiny hole in the top for safety.

It doesn't really look like a special toy, but this really is an exceptional toy.Our 1 year old really loves it.As described the "eggs" come in different colours and when squeezed they make small noises. Not annoying noises like you often get from children's toys! Small squeaks.The shell "lids" also have little faces which our child loves. And they all sit in a reasonably robust plastic box.Our daughter will happily play with it for ages. She will take them out of the box and then put them back in repeatedly. Each base has a different shape so this process can take a while. So it's one of those toys that should keep a child occupied and relatively stationary for a long time.Very very useful!The only possible downside is that over time you start losing the lids and then a whole egg will disappear so we're down to 3 or 4 at the most after 3 months.Slip it into your handbag to provide you with peace and quiet on the move.Would highly recommend it.

I wasn't entirely convinced when my wife told me about these eggs and how she had read lots of positive reviews about them, however almost immediately my daughter was captivated by them (~4 months old).She's now had them for a few months and they are by far her favourite toy, often making her squak with excitement as she energetically "disperses" the eggs across the carpet, allowing daddy to crawl under the couch for the 5th time that day... much to her enjoyment of course!The eggs have 6 differently coloured chicks inside, with corresponding-coloured shells. Each of the eggs also have a different shaped bottom to fit into a specific spot within the plastic 'carton'.I'm assuming this helps development as baby gets older, and keeps them interesting to play with. It does make the tidying up slightly more challenging though!Would highly recommend them as I've had friends tell me their kids still love playing with them at 18months+

the only regret about this product is i wish id bought them sooner. all 3 of my children from 20 months to 7 years old play with the eggs, i have to search around my living room nearly every night to find them all. theres endless hours of fun to be had matching the shells up to creating lovely squeaky music. the box is a lovely bright yellow that is robust and that opens by pulling the plastic clip forward, the 6 eggs come in 2 parts and are all brightly coloured inside with a baby chick design that has matching eyes to the design on the outer shell as well as matching colour.the bottoms of the eggs all have a different molded shape that match up with slots for them in the egg box which allows them to sit upright.i have bought 2 lots of these as my friends children fell so in love with the set we had it was the ideal gift for a 1st birthday gift and at such a fantastic price you wont find a better deal for such a great quality toy.

This is currently my 7 month old daughter's favourite toy. She will play happily with these for at least 20 minutes, which is some feat given her short attention span.Ideal for babies who have just started sitting up unaided and beyond, the beauty of them is that their use will grow as your baby does. Currently, my daughter enjoys taking the eggs apart, examining them, bashing them together and scattering them around the room. In time, this works as a shape sorter (the bases of each egg have various shapes on them).I have taken a star off only because they do make a mess - 13 separate bits that need to be picked up and reassembled. I haven't yet trodden on an egg with bare feet,but I can't imagine it would be pleasant. However, the egg box closes securely which makes this a great toy to bring to Granny and Grandpa's - no fishing around in the bottom of the bag for all the pieces.

I have no idea what it is that small children gravitate towards in this product-- which are small eggs that quietly squeak with quirky faces on them-- but man, do children love these. I got these for my 13-month-old son after we went to a playdate and he very uncharacteristically ignored all the toy diggers and buses in the room and played with these eggs for an hour. Now that they're in our house, he makes a B line for them almost daily, and enjoys opening and closing the box, taking apart the eggs, hitting them together, throwing them across the room, and trying to figure out how to put them back in the box-- a skill he hasn't quite mastered yet. (These eggs double as a shape sorter,with little shapes on the bottom that must be slotted into the right holes in the box.) I have a feeling this toy will grow with him, and these quirky eggs will be a part of our lives for awhile!

simple idea - great play! My children played with this toy for years and because they were so loved they have gone into the attic for future generations (hopeful) as one of the select few toys that you just can't bear to throw out or give to charity.The design of this toy is perfect. They will appeal to very young babies who can just grab hold of them because of the delightful noise you can make with them! As the child develops they will teach the child about shape, colour and matching skills. Later still they will fit in imaginary play.Some reviewers have complained about the quality - mine were bought 15 years ago and were of very good quality but maybe they changed the materials.I have now bought this on several occasion and given as toys to friends'babies as I think all babies should own them :) - a classic on par with the Fisher Price telephone, in my opinion

I have been pleased with these Tomy Toomies Hide And Squeak Eggs so far. We purchased this for our toddler to avoid her constantly asking for the eggs in the fridge and have found them to be quite a multi-functional toy.Initially she used to just play with them as a shape sorter and would try to fit them back in the tray. Then she started noticing the colours on the egg tops and started arranging them so they matched too. If you press the eggs they also make a squeak sound although it does take more force then it should.One major issue is the fact that little ones will not be able to open the egg tray themselves due to the latch design of it. It often means that my little one cannot play with it independently.Overall though,its a good toy to have and I find my little one returns to it from time to time, even if it only entertains her for a short period of time.

These are great. I don't know why, but kids love these eggy things.Only thing to watch out for - and by no means bad points - is that it's a bit time consuming to put them away - especially if you have OCD.You have to get each eggy in it's correct compartment - they fit in a shape, so only go in one orientation.Then, you have to precariously place the eggy shell tops on. And if you're like me, you can't just put the yellow top on the orange egg oh no. Got to be the same colours. So that takes a little more time. And then if you accidentally nudge them, they're off again lol.But seriously, I like these. Well made, no fiddly parts, the squeak is simple (mechanical) so nothing to go wrong.But top marks on the egg box - its solid and the latch is pretty good. Those eggies are going nowhere after you close it.
