Lamaze Jacques the Peacock

Other than the flashy colors, this toy is a bummer! My son has virtually ignored this toy since day 1. Maybe he just doesn't get it. But I'd skip this one.

What I think is really great is that the peacock has very large eyes. Research shows that babies like faces and eyes and I heard that Lamaze increased the size of the eyes on their toys. I like Lamaze toys.
This peacock is brightly coloured on the front, black and white in different patterns on the back and each 'feather' has a different texture such as silky, furry or courderoy. It makes a crinkly, crunchy sound when you touch it which is interesting to my baby. It has a squeaky button too which will be better when my baby is older.
A couple of weeks ago I started holding up the peacock in front of my baby and describing the colours and textures to him (as talking and describing is good for babies) and I can spend almost 5min talking about this toy as there is so much variety! Now he can hold it himself and bring it to his mouth.
I am online now writing this review as I am about to buy one for my friend's baby.

I got this for my new niece, and my sister (her mom) said it's her favorite toy. My sister liked the softness and the colors. She said it's a great texture toy and was very happy I got it for her baby. I think it's too cute, too. :)

Our son loved this toy almost from day one. The geometric black and white backing to the wings is perfect for newborns. The bright colors and different textures make it a lasting favorite. It held up well to daily play. It remained a favorite for 5 months or so--that's saying a lot. Now that he's a bit older more intricate toys are more enticing, but he still has a soft spot for this one. We've also given this as a baby gift several times. Great little creature.

This is the best toy I've purchased for my son. He absolutely loves it, even better, it isn't expensive. My sister is going to have her first baby in a couple months and I plan on getting one for her too.
