Mommy and I recently received the Toy Nanny from 2 Red Hens and boy were we amazed. As you may know I currently live in Colorado and we're having lots of rain so mommy and I weren't able to really test this outside but we know that if we did it would have worked like a charm.
I love making a mess, I really do! I hate to clean up after myself. Mommy sings that clean up song and although I do it, I do it on my own time and after mommy has said to do it about a million times. I think mommy was more happy to receive the Toy Nanny than I was. Sure I'm happy because now I don't have to do as much cleaning up but now mommy doesn't have to either.
The Toy Nanny is really simple to use. Once you get it out of the package you simply lay it flat wherever you want it and open. Perfect for outdoor play. We even loved the little button that keeps it closed when not in use. Such detail!
Mommy calls it her all in one toy bag - play mat - baby bag. It does it all! We tested it out in my room and here is what I have to say! The Toy Nanny makes cleanup super easy. Now mommy says that every time I play in my room it has to be on the Toy Nanny.
The outside that lays flat on the floor is completely water resistant so you have no fear of your little one getting wet while playing and also prevents spills from soaking through. It also has 8 pockets where you can store little things all secured by a velcro tab. Mommy decided to put a book and a few diapers in there. With 8 pockets your possibilities are endless.
The inside has soft velour so it's pretty comfortable as you can see. I enjoyed sitting on it and had lots of fun playing with my blocks. When I was finished the best part about this and the reason why mommy insists I play on my Toy Nanny is, it all folds up pretty easy. Everything stays inside and it looks like a bag. All you do is pull the straps together and voila you're done! Now all my toys are stored on the inside.

I think this is great the way it changes from a carry bag to a play mat. I could carry everything I need in this huge bag... and then, use it for them to play on too. Super!
ReplyDeleteI think it would make a perfect bag to go to Football games with.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute play mat. I love the idea of putting all their toys on it and keeping them off the floor with everything organized. The colors are really pretty too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! She looks like she is really enjoying it too! All these cool things now that my kids are grown!
ReplyDeleteGreat for taking on the go, to grandmas...hmmm think I need to get one of these.
ReplyDeleteThat is great!! We have a great park next door but its such a pain finding/gathering/packing all our park gear this would help withthat
ReplyDeleteThat is great!! We have a great park next door but its such a pain finding/gathering/packing all our park gear this would help withthat

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way! Mess but mess! The mama hen is pretty smart! :D
ReplyDeleteGenius! Did this a couple times with a blanket. .. Not so easy! For new baby would be great!
ReplyDeleteThis would be great if your kiddo is coming with you to an appointment. Just spread out the mat, they stay clean, toys stay clean, no mess. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to take to the park, so toys remain clean and easy to clean up after play.
ReplyDeleteI love the concept. It would be great for when the grandchildren visit. It is hard to get them to clean up their toys. This would be a big help.
ReplyDeleteIt would make a great keeper for the toy stash I have for my little friends who come to visit. When its time to go-super easy cleanup.
ReplyDeleteI think toy nanny would be great for travel to friends places that don't have little kids toys. You can sit the little one down and when it's time to leave (melt down time) it would take 2 seconds to clean up and go.
ReplyDeleteI bet your mommy is really happy with this, Madison! I know I would have been happy to have one of these with my kids. They liked to make messes and still do!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that it's completely water-resistant. Not only is it easy for clean-up, it would help when little ones spill their sippy cups! :)

ReplyDeleteI have to have this... it is definitely a mother's dream. Thanks for the review, I would never have known this existed.
ReplyDeleteIt would make my life easier by cutting down on all the different bulking bags I carry around with my sons toys.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about you lately, with the rain and flooding!! Stay warm and dry, my friends! Des is 15-months-old and nuts but totally sits still in public. I really want one of these because I am ashamed at some of the places I have placed him down.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute convertible toy container. Babies will love playing these.
ReplyDeleteThis would be fantastic for legos, too!

ReplyDeleteThe Toy Nanny would help when we go to the park or even play in the backyard
ReplyDeleteIt would help with clean up.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and we would take it when we go on a vacation.
ReplyDeleteThis would make play time at other people's homes a lot easier. Everything is in one spot and I am not carrying plastic bags with toys around.
ReplyDeleteI would love this having all the blocks in one place to keep track of and carry to where they want to play
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this is so cute! I think it would help make clean up easy and fun in our house

ReplyDeleteThis would be great for when we go to play dates. Rather than trying to find all the toys scattered all over the room, I can easily keep them in this handy Toy Nanny!
ReplyDeletebrynne
ReplyDeletei think it would help keep things very organized.
This would not be for my children, but for my sister's young child who could use it. She definitely needs something like this, because she travels a lot to people's houses and this way she could pack up and bring his toys more easily.
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for waiting rooms and offices where a child could sit and play on a clean surface very portable and washable. Even to take to camping or beside the pool I love it.
ReplyDeleteThe Toy Nanny would help me so much. I would give it to my daughter to play with her dinosaurs and the just close it up for clean up. Much easier than arguing with her to clean up.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of this punch card app... not registering tweet and a follow.
ReplyDeleteIt would keep all the toys organized and can me taken when visiting grandma or relatives.
ReplyDeleteI would love this for cleaning up small toys and for when my daughter is visiting family and wants to take stuff along!
ReplyDelete2 ways it would make life easier - going to family/friends visiting, to the park, pretty much anywhere, the Toy Nanny would make the hassle of bringing all the toys and whatever else easier because it would be so compact and you wouldn't have to worry about packing a bunch of different bags. Another way it would make life easier, would be easy and simple storage. My house is so small and with barely any storage, the Toy Nanny would help make up for that when my son isn't playing with his toys. I also like the fact that it is water resistant, then I wouldn't have to worry about him getting damp/dirty if the grass is a bit wet
ReplyDeleteforget the kids toys. I'd use it on my desk and when company came over I could pick up all the bills and schoolwork in one sweep!
ReplyDeleteRight now, our toy stash is in a heavy wooden box. So, not portable at all! It would be great to gather a selection in a Toy Nanny that we could through in the car and play with anywhere!
ReplyDeleteThe Toy Nanny would help keep my daughter's toys from winding up everywhere! Plus it looks like it's a great way to haul and play anywhere :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a great travel assist - when visiting at friends/relatives even staying in a motel. the play surface beats putting her and toys down on random carpet to play.
ReplyDeleteI have twin girls and this would make it so much easier when we go to the doctors office.
ReplyDeleteBy keeping everything my son plays with all together
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is having surgery in a couple of weeks. This would be great to put on the hospital floor for her to play on so that I know it's sanitary!
