Stimulates Baby's Vision and Auditory Skills
When babies are first born, they see in black and white. This is why the Play and Grow Peacock strikes a balance between bright, high contrast patterns that help stimulate baby's vision, and bold solid colors that give baby's eyes a place to rest. Sounds like crinkle, squeakers and jingles also help stimulate and develop baby's auditory skills. Finally, large, friendly eyes on the Play and Grow Peacock invite baby to focus and stare at a single object, which helps calm baby while supporting healthy eye development. Child-Safe Design
Whether they're playing in the crib or preparing for a nap, your little one will enjoy hours of delight with the Play and Grow Peacock. Safe and easy for little hands to manipulate, it features a soft velour body that invites snuggling and playing. And the busy wings have different textures and interactive components--like the mirror, which allows for both independent and parent/baby peek-a-boo play--to keep baby engaged as he grows. The Play and Grow Peacock comes with a limited 90 day warranty.

Fabulous toy! November 30, 2008
K. Huff (W. Lafayette, IN USA)
I got this for my little man when he was 4 months old and at the time, he much preferred his link-a-rings to this toy. He wasn't coordinated enough or strong enough to manipulate something this large in his hands. Still, he would stare at Jacques in fascination, but would get frustrated when he would try to chew on him. Fast forward 2 months and Jacques became my little guy's favorite toy. Now he could grasp and turn Jacques and easily get his crinkly wings into his mouth. He loved when I would make Jacques "kiss" him. He never tired of staring at Jacques, but if his attention wavered I could just flip Jacques over and my son was interested all over again! This is a great toy!
Great for Newborns! November 14, 2008
S. LaMotta (Chicago, IL)
The Lamaze peacock was one of the first toys we were given for our son. Personally, I think he's fun to look at. Jacques the peacock made me want to run out and see what other toys Lamaze has... unfortunately, I think I've already got the best one. From the first week (and I mean, less than one week of age here), my son was enthralled by the back of Jacques. This is really a great toy for newborns to look at - the red, white, and black high contrast back is very interesting and stimulating to young babies (they can't see in color yet).
I think this toy was a life-saver when my son was less than a month old, because he would get distracted by it hanging in his crib and he would actually agree to lay in there! Recently, he hasn't been as interested in this toy, perhaps because some of his others are easier for him to hold. We'll have to wait and see whether he decides to be interested again at some point. He's 3 months now, and just learning to hold things (and shove them in his mouth) - and this is a bit large and difficult to pick up right now. The toy does have a rattle, crinkle paper, and a squeaky thing, as well as a mirror (that you really can't see yourself in) that might be interesting to older babies.
Since the toy was so interesting early on, I still think he's worth the price. But, I'd say get this one EARLY - before the baby is born - and introduce the toy right away (but remember to show the baby the back, not the front, because it will be more interesting and easier to see early on).
 not a hit with a 6 m/o October 29, 2008
Armadillo (Austin, TX)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
We bought this for our 6-months-old son. It's not a hit. The problem is that the tail consists of very hard and large pieces that barely bend. The kid has a hard time grabbing the toy and cannot really manipulate with any elements. Nothing here can be stretched, squeezed, rolled, pulled -- unlike, say, those long legs or necks or tails in other similar toys. Our son can't even stick any part of this toy in his mouth! So, he understandably doesn't want to play with it. The peacock looks pretty, but you don't really want to touch it. Our kid loves the elefant, the giraffe, and the monkey made by Tiny Love.
Great Toy September 29, 2008
C. Kiser
Our 3 month old daughter really loves this toy. She is really attracted to the bright colors and patterns and has started reaching out to the toy and trying to grab it. Great toy for young babies!
Baby loves it! September 16, 2008
R. Chirak
My baby loves this thing! We usually hang it from the carseat handle - she can't see it in the car when the handle's retracted, but when we're out and about she can see it and smack at it. When they're too small they'll probably ignore it totally, but eventually my daughter would stare at it entranced, and around 8-10 weeks she finally started trying to reach for it and a little later to "talk" to it. This was the first toy that got her doing either of those things! She's 15 weeks now and is still only smacking it and talking to it, so all of the bells and whistles aren't getting much use yet, but when we're out Jacques has also entranced 1-year-olds and even a 3-year-old, so I'm anticipating getting a lot of use out of it!
My husband hates spending money and thought this was a rip-off at first, but he's had to admit it was worth it once he saw how much the baby likes it.
