 An egg-cellent toy! June 24, 2010
Baby Doll (UK)
I brought the Tomy Hide 'n' Squeak Eggs as a present for my daughters first Christmas. I came across them whilst looking around for a few little, affordable bits to go with her main presents - stocking fillers if you like.
The eggs come in a durable plastic yellow egg box. This not only makes the eggs seem real to a child but is really handy for storing the eggs away - I always seem to be finding different pieces from different toy sets all over the house!
Inside the box are 6 white plastic eggs. Each egg has 2 parts to it, as if they are cracked in half. The top part of the egg acts like a lid and the bottom part of the egg has a chick inside. The lids have different faces on and are interchangable, which means they can be swapped around. The chicks are 3 different colours (orange, blue and green) and make a 'tweet' sound when they are pushed down. Little effort is needed to push the chicks and they are suitable for the smallest of fingers.
Inside the egg box and on the bottoms of the eggs are different shapes (square, triangle, star, circle etc). The eggs fit into the box according to their shape, so effective the toy doubles up into a shape sorter.
The educational aspects of this toy are that it encourages hand-eye coordination, role play and can help to learn counting, colours and shapes. It is also unisex and doesn't require batteries.
This toy was a big hit with my daughter from day one and is something that she has played with alot - I also have friends that have this toy and they have said the same. The squeaky noises always made her giggle and the shape sorting really made her think and concentrate. Infact she is now 3 years old and still enjoys playing with it from time to time! Such a simple but effective toy.
Overall I think the Tomy Hide 'n' Squeak Eggs are a great toy for babies and toddlers. It manages to grab childrens attentions and gets the balance between education and fun just right. Superb value for money.

This is an absolutely brilliant toy. How 6 squeaky eggs in a box can amuse a little person for so long is beyond me but it definitely does the job!

Eggggggcellent!!!! May 29, 2010

A friend gave us some of these as a gift for our 13 month old daughter. At first I thought they looked cool but they seemed so simple and not like there was that much to them so she would get bored. After 5 mins of watching her with them it all made sense. She loves them to bits, it's the simplicity that makes it. We constantly make jokes with her that shes "cracking her eggs" and she's always playing around with the eggs and the shells. The 'squeak' is overated as they don't squeak much, but that's fine - she has enough toys that make loads of noise so this is a nice thing to give her when we're too knackered to listen to the wooden xylophone someone gave her!!!! At this price a winning toy that you can't go wrong with.
Hours of fun May 24, 2010

This is a very sturdy product my grandson plays for hours with it
it has a built in shape sorter on the bottom of the box and the shape is on the bottom of the eggs. he enjoys taking the tops off the eggs and revealing the funny faces underneath and is drawn by the bright colours he plays for hours with it. They are a lovely size for little hands to handle l would highly recommend this product.
