K's Kids The Hungry Pelican

Our Hungry Pelican is now on child number three and shows no signs of wear despite being a favorite crib toy for many years.

The bright yellow velour pelican ties onto the crib railing. His fat cheeks squeak, his wings crinkle, and his feet rattle. He comes with four sea creatures (crab, shrimp, fish, and octopus) that are each different textures and colors, and make different sounds (rattle, rustle, etc.). Children can put the little animals into pelican's mouth and watch them drop down into his tummy. The large circular tummy opening allows for easy removal of the animals so play can begin all over again.

I found that babies enjoy quietly investigating the sounds, colors, and textures of the four little sea creatures. Toddlers progress to the eating game.

I am grateful to Mr. Pelican for allowing me an extra half hour of sleep every morning. What can be better than that!

Well, I loved this thing. However, we have only had it a few weeks and the squeak is already broken or not working in one of the cheeks of the pelican. I emailed K Kids, but haven't heard from them. I'd exchange it via Amazon but it's not worth the postage unless Amazon will exchange free of charge b/c of it being defective. It was not a cheap toy.

The Hungry Pelican is ok. I gave it as a gift to my niece for her 1st Bday and she has fun with it, but... only when the Pelican is outside the cradle. We need to tie the Pelican outside the cradle so she will play with it.

She got the notion quickly of feeding the Pelican. She stuffed all the small animals, but only once every time! I think she's a smart girl thinking once the animals are inside of the Pelican's tummy, well, he's already fed.

She does, however, play with the small stuffed animals and carries them all around the house.

Our son received the Hungry Pelican when he was 8 months old. We tied it into his crib right away. It took him a couple weeks to notice it but it soon became the favorite toy. He will play quietly in his crib in the mornings (giving me time to get ready for work!), taking the creatures out of the belly and playing with them. I am not sure he knows how to feed it just yet but that will come... I've found pacifiers and other items in the belly too and the little creatures all over the room. In terms of giving Mom and Dad a couple more minutes of quiet, this has been a lifesaver! (and the little shrimp cracks me up!)

We love this toy it has lasted two kids and still in perfect condition. The pelican's belly doubles as a pacifier holder our daughter knows where to go looking for them when it's naptime and she puts them away there too when it's time to wake up. I've also noticed that both our kids for some odd reason liked to snuggle underneath the pelican's fuzzy feet while they are sleeping (it just barely touches their foreheads when lying down) at first we used to move them because it seemed uncomfortable but they just go back they really seem to like it. It makes some crinkly and some (quiet) squeeking sounds more subtle than many toys these days. A perfect crib toy.
