Melissa & Doug K's Kids Hungry Pelican Soft Baby Educational Toy

I bought this for my son for Christmas and I have not given it to him yet, but I was so excited about it that I had to take it out and look at it myself before Christmas got here. This is the cutest toy ever! I love it. It is super colorful and cute and a good size. I like that it teaches them where the food goes and I am so excited to give it to him for Christmas. I love Melissa & Doug toys. I read a lot of the reviews before I bought it and a lot of people were saying it didn't stand up on its own, which it doesn't oh, but it is a plush toy with a hollow inside so I didn't expect it to. I think this is a great product

Such a neat idea! The mouth and bottom are big enough for kids to get their hands in and out of and it’s great for helping them understand how food and going potty correlate! It’s made with great quality and is SO soft and simple to use. I love how each little fish is different and has unique textures and sounds, making it all the more encouraging for kids to learn and explore.

18 month old loves “feeding” the pelican! Great quality and adorable.

Bought this for my almost 1yr old niece, she sits up really well and thought this would be great for her. She loves it but someone has to hold the mouth open so she can put the animals in it. Eventually she will be able to do it herself but that was a little disappointing especially bc the picture shows it sitting up on its own. Still a really cute and fun toy for young kiddos.

Years ago, I got a toy almost exactly like this for some friends when their baby turned one. They told me later it was the best toy they had received. It's quiet, it's washable, and it captivates their toddler. They said they moved it from room to room with them, for example, tying it to a doorknob so their son could be engaged while they were busy fixing dinner or hanging out in the kitchen. I recall it was the 'toy of the year' by a parenting magazine that rates toys, and I can see why. I got this one recently for a neighbor's one-year-old. I'm not sure it's the original, but it sure is close, and they love it. They tell me it took a while for their son to 'get it,' but once he did, he played well, feeding the pelican and watching what happens. They say it's supporting the 'cause and effect' stage of his learning.

Melissa & Doug products are always top tier! This toy is no different, I love how brightly colored it is & each item has texture & sounds, super soft. Great for the little ones. There is even a tie on the top for crib or playpen use!

Such a cute face, but does not sit up like the picture shows. That makes it difficult for a child to play with.

This is super adorable and typical Melissa & Doug high quality. I bought this for my nephew's birthday who just turned one. The pelican is very soft and the toys that go inside are very cute. He kept looking at the box when my sister was trying to get him to open more presents and the colors were definitely enticing to him. You open the pelican's mouth and put the toys inside. Highly recommended, especially for children who already have everything.

Great product for a toddler, but short lived. Very well constructed and eye pleasing to the child, but didn't seem to inspire play without a sibbling or parent at all times.

Super cute! I would buy again as a gift as my own children have out grown it. It's a good size that is easy for little hands to handle.

Cute toy. Not quite as easy to open the mouth and put the "food" in as I imagined but we don't have it tied to anything..

Bought this for a friend's 1-year old birthday party. The quality is very high - materials feel nice and durable. The little one loves the toy, especially the smaller ones that make a squeaking sound. The beak is a bit too difficult for a younger child to operate, but doesn't take away from the fun.
