On a Friday I meet up with my fave mummy friends at a wine bar (all rather plush sounding, but in reality it is the only place big enough for us to all get our huge buggies in, and they quite happily let us sit there for about 3 hours having just bought one coffee each!). Anyway… there are about 6 of us that meet up and three of the babes (my scrumps included) have Freddy Fireflies in their grasp pretty much every week. The other three babes seem to spend most of the time looking enviously at the Freddy’s. Two of them have Jacques the peacock, but he just doesnt do it for them.

A friend (with children) bought him for us, and at first sight, I thought, wow, thats an awful lot of stimulation in one toy, my poor babe is gonna be frightened stiff, but he gazed in amasement at him, and it has been the same ever since! I thouroughly recommend this toy, can’t tell you why all the little-un’s love him, but they just do, babies are a wierd bunch, best not to try and delve too deep.

He is made by Lamaze and can be bought at most big toy shops, but listed above are the cheapest. At the moment there are 21 reviews on amazon giving Freddie five stars!
