Some toys are worth it, some are not. I'm looking for a learning table now, I won't pay full retail for it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expensive-toys-worth-it#post-149008 Sat, 05 May 2012 07:46:13 +0000 looch 149008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a learning table and we paid a lot more than $40 for it (that's Europe for you, everything is twice the price, at least). At 16 months, DS still loves it, so I consider it well worth the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expensive-toys-worth-it#post-148743 Fri, 04 May 2012 19:41:50 +0000 heffalump 148743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. LO's jumparoo was pretty pricey and she did use it and love it for a while, but I wish she loved it longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expensive-toys-worth-it#post-148731 Fri, 04 May 2012 19:27:28 +0000 chopsuey 148731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a learn and play kitchen. I borrowed it from SIL, but it retails for over 200 bucks!! My LO loves it and has so much fun with it. I definitely wouldn't have purchased it for that much, but I would probably drop $150 for a retro play kitchen. I think it's worth the investment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expensive-toys-worth-it#post-148727 Fri, 04 May 2012 19:22:07 +0000 owlmom 148727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 7 months, and we have the leapfrog learn and groove table. I couldn't stomach spending $40 on it, so I bought a used one on Craigslist for less than half that. At this point, I'm glad I didn't spend more. She likes it okay, but no more than her blocks, shape sorter, and stacking cups, which all cost a lot less. I'm hoping she'll like it more as she gets older and starts pulling up.<br /> ETA: Right now we don't have the legs on it, so she sits on the floor to play with it. I think that once she's standing and can reach all of the components better it will be more fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expensive-toys-worth-it#post-148704 Fri, 04 May 2012 18:43:05 +0000 polkadots 148704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about getting LO (7.5months) a learning table... The ones I've seen are atleast 40 dollars... are bigger, expensive toys worth the money? </p> <p>What expensive toys have you purchased? Do you thing it was worth it? </p>
