It was hard to choose between the Lamaze Freddie the Firefly
and the Lamaze Jacques the Peacock, so we decided to review both toys. Both offer similar features and are available for 10 dollars from Amazon. Both toys are from the range of Lamaze Play & Grow characters.
The Lamaze Freddie the Firefly is a great toy that can be used in a number of play situations and is not relegated to just the cot or car. It can be hung on the stroller or in the car when out and about.
It is larger than the Lamaze Jacques the Peacock, with a long soft body with a number of large wings that offer a range of textures, squeaker, and crinkles. A mirror is also included on one of the wings.
Key Features
- Soft velour body and busy wings
- Features a peek-a-boo mirror, textures, squeaker, and crinkles
- Comes with a Lamaze link to connect easily to any Lamaze toy or play mat
- Lamaze Play & Grow Character
- All Ages
The Lamaze Freddie the Firefly also includes a number of features for the older baby. Included are clinking rings on the bottom, tethered ladybug teether and a knotted antennae for teething and chewing.
The Lamaze Freddie the Firefly is available for 10 dollars from Amazon. This represents another great toy from Lamaze, and we (well, our son !) are enjoying reviewing their range of toys.
Highly Recommended

The Lamaze Jacques the Peacock is one of those convenient toys that has many uses. It can be used when baby is playing on a floor mat, or hung from the stroller when out and about.The toy features a central peacock that has a number of large feathers. Each feather provides either a different sounds or textures. A mirror is included on one of the feathers, and what baby does not love a mirror to play with ?
Key Features
- Features multiple textures and sounds to keep baby entertained
- Comes with a Lamaze link to connect easily to any Lamaze toy or play mat
- Lamaze Play & Grow Character
- All Ages
The toy can be used from birth, as it does not have any hard plastic or corners. As it does not provide any sounds when it is shaken, it may not be babies favorite toy after his first birthday, but we can vouch that it will be his favorite during that year !
The Lamaze Jacques the Peacock is such a great toy, it is recommended to all parents. It can be purchased for less than 10 dollars from Amazon.

We are a big fan of Lamaze baby development toys, and the Lamaze Musical Inchworm is one of our favorites. The Inchworm is make from a high-quality velour fabric, and each segment has different textures and fabrics.
The worm includes rattles, squeaks, crinkles, and jingles from the various segments of the worm. The underside of the worm includes a measuring markings along its 24 inch length. When the worm is hugged, it plays “If You’re Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands”. It can sometimes be hard to get the song to play if you do not squeeze it just right, but it is not something that we would fault.
The Inchworm can be used from birth, where the worm will be longer than your baby!
The Lamaze Musical Inchworm is available for $15. Many baby toys are more expensive than they are really worth, but at $15, the Inchworm is surprisingly good value.
Highly Recommended
