Melissa & Doug K's Kids The Hungry Pelican

Description

This cuddly plush pelican has an empty belly . . . and a big appetite for fun! Young children can open the pelican's big bill (which squeaks when squeezed!) to drop four mini plush animals into his open mouth. Then the crinkly shrimp, squeaking octopus, and rattling fish and crab drop right into the bird's big belly! A peek-in, reach-in window on the pelican's front lets kids spot them easily and pull them out to try it all again. The repetitive activity is great for babies and toddlers working on motor skills and other early developmental skills. And thanks to an incredible array of fun-to-explore features--from chubby, squeak-able cheeks to crinkly wings to floppy, rattling feet--it never gets old! Do not leave in crib unattached. • Cuddly plush pelican toy to feed with plush sea creatures again and again • Pieces squeak, rattle, and crinkle • Pelican's bill opens and closes for feeding time • Skills at play include sensory development, fine motor, gross motor; great for self esteem • 9+ months

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Toy was ok I was actually very disappointed with this toy. First off the pelican doesn't sit he's very frumpy I thought maybe there was a base for him to sit up. I also thought maybe there was a flap for a hand to make him pretend eating but there wasn't. But that's my fault for not reading into it. I def think they should at least make him sit up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So many ways to play My son loves this guy. Pulling things out of other things is his favorite game so it was right up his alley! With the rattles, crinkles, and squeaker in the pelican it's a fun sensory experience. The one thing I will say is this toy does not sit up on its own but has a tie on the pelican head to support it. All around a great toy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Melissa and Doug Toys are always the best! Sweet little toy! I love the learning value of Melissa and Doug toys, as well as the cuteness and happiness and fun. I thought it was a very nice toy, especially for a child who lives by the ocean. I also appreciate Melissa and Doug's customer service, and there was shipping trouble and they straightened it all out right away!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Purchased for grandchild and friend's grandchild. By far MY favorite toy! So, So, Glad I purchased for grandchild. This whimsical Hungry Pelican gobbles up what learning hands feed into the large scoop bill and can inquisitively retrieve from his belly. Smaller soft "food" is the perfect size to add and take away! Grows with child as the child turns from baby to toddler.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great gift! I was a gift, but good news! The little critters were well loved. This will be a growing up to gift for a soon to be toddler. A learning experience with the critters going in the mouth and then magically appearing in the tummy! How does that happen? A toy that has many dimensions and will be loved for a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I recommend this toy, for twins encourages turn taking. My twin 16mo old grandchildren love this pelican. They are intrigued with watching the food drop into his belly. They feed him constantly as we keep him anchored to the stairway so he's accessible. They also take turns, which is wonderful, and squeal wth delight as they feed and retrieve the food. Lots of fun!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super cute! Love the tie to hold it up:) Pleasantly surprised that there is a tie to hold it up! Just happens to be the perfect size to tie onto the handle of my baby's push cart. Great quality, love that it is machine washable. The mini plush animals are adorable, the shrimp is his favorite. Love the different crinkly, rattly, squeaky features. 5/5

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A funny addition to the playroom We tied the pelican up on the edge of the playroom. I love the little animals and the features of the pelican. The beak squeaks, the feet rattle and the wings crinkle. The only thing I'd change is the octopus, it has a squeaker but it is hard to manipulate, it would be better with jingle bells on the inside!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrific for small children. Our youngest granddaughter is 1, but ahead of her age due to competing with her older sisters. She loves this toy and played with it for hours. The hungry pelican now has a 'happy belly' and she loves to cuddle this soft plush toy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommend! My 6 month old granddaughter loves her Hungry Pelican! The bright colors and noisy little critters really catch her attention and keep her enthralled for minutes! (which is great for a baby that age!) It is her favorite toy!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Crib toy This is a crib toy, designed to be hung up. I did not understand that from the description and would probably have purchased something else. When not hung up, it lays flat, does not sit up as in the picture. But it's cute.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Fun, Safe Toy I purchased this for Christmas for my grandchild who lives in another state. Since travel is restricted I have not been able to see her play with it. It looked like a fun and safe toy and the price was reasonable. Thanks

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I would not buy again For all the raves, this was a bust. The fact that it doesn't sit up, which is remarked upon in other reviews is a real problem. Toddlers can't get the mouth open alone and the small critters don't go down easily

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Cute but does it sit up It's very cute but it does NOT sit up like the picture shows It must be hung in order for a child to use it. We ended up hanging it in the car for him to play with only drive somewhere. Very disappointed

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Yes I would buy this again. I purchased the pelican for my grandson who lives in another state so I don't get to see him play with the toy. I have been told it is of good quality and that he loves playing with it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from I would not buy this again Despite the fact that my daughter is terrified of this toy, it did not stand/sit up on its own, so it's not exactly as described. It's not easy or fun to put the toys in the mouth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I recommend this toy. I purchased this as a gift for my daughter's baby. My daughter is a speech/language specialist and is always looking for toys that encourage language. She love this toy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this big gulp! Love how this one helps little ones practice putting things in and getting them out. All kinds of toys are put in the mouth! Remember to have a place to tie this to.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Would not recommend. Unfortunately, the pelican does not sit or stand as others have mentioned. It is cute, but non-functional for my 9-month old. The pelican just slumps on the floor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is a fun toy even for me. This is a hoot for any 9 month old who likes to pick up and place a toy in another location. The older sisters will probably get a kick out of practicing with him.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As advertised It is a gift that has not yet been given. It does look as advertised and quite large, actually. My granddaughter should love this interactive toy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for a toddler My youngest nephew (age 1 at the time of gift giving) loved this, because he loves to see the things he is putting inside ('feeding') the pelican.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 2 Granddaughter loves feeding her pelican. It's very floppy for a 1 year old to handle though. It would be great if it could sit up on its own.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I would definitely recommend this for any child. Another wonderfully delightfulgift for my granddaughters first birthday.she loves this extremely inviting for much time now and in future.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from What a disappointment!! What a disappointment! Pelican has no form, lays limp. Bill too big to get toy into mouth. If I could of given zero stars, I would have!
