Tomy Hide And Squeak Eggs £4.50 @ Amazon

Amazon are selling these cute little Tomy Hide and Squeak Eggs for £4.50 - a little saving to be had on their usual £6.99 price.

I've seen these Tomy Hide and Squeak Eggs plenty of times before but have never written about them, I don't know why because they look quite cool for youngsters!

They're suitable for little ones aged 12 months and older and well help them to develop their sorting and fine motor skills.  There are six eggs in an egg box and when you crack each one open, different coloured press-and-cheep chicks are revealed (I hope the cheeping doesn't drive you mad).

Each egg also has its own unique space in the egg box, thanks to their different shaped bottoms, so your child will have to work out which egg belongs in which hole in the box in order to put them all safely away until next time.

The Tomy Hide and Squeak Eggs don't require any batteries and have some great reviews:

I bought these for my daughter in a charity shop initially.  Although they are suggested for 12m+, she loved them from 7m. At first she just held them and bashed them together, but something about them (colour? shape? I could never work out what) seemed to particularly appeal to her, and she favoured them over all her other toys.

Now she is 14m, and still loves them just as much, and has graduated to squeaking the chicks, and fitting the eggs together with their shells.  I can see they will continue to grow in play potential with her, as eventually she will figure out the bases of the eggs need to be 'sorted' into the box, and later still that the faces on the shells can be matched to the chicks. I have to say her nine-year-old cousin always volunteers to 'sort' them for her, just to be helpful, you understand!

I noticed any other babies or toddlers who were visiting seemed to be very keen on them, and have consequently given them as gifts on birthdays etc.  I really don't know what it is about the eggs, but babies seem quite transfixed by this particular toy.

I would highly recommend it for any baby or small child, it has lots play potential, which changes as the child grows and develops new skills. It represents eggsellent (sorry, couldn't resist that) value for money. It is also very compact, a great toy to stick in your bag when you are heading out on a visit, as it holds their attention for ages

Happy Egg Sorting!
