| michelle7898's Full Review: Fisher-Price Linny Wonder Pets By Fisher Price Plu... |
I purchased the Fisher Price Wonder Pets Linny the guinea pig plush set as a combination gift for my two youngest kids last Christmas. Amazingly it is still a hot item this year so I just had to drop a review in on it so people would know how great you make out buying this for Christmas even for multiple kids. My son has watched Wonder Pets since he was 9 months old. He was a little over a year when I bought this for him and Emmily who had just turned 6 at that time.
The beauty of buying the Fisher Price Wonder Pets Linny the guinea pig plush set for both of them as a shared gift even at such different ages was that the Linny plush was perfect for Bret who loves Linny, and the game that the set comes with was perfect for my daughter Emmily to use. This was why I chose it for them. Not only that though, Toys R Us has this set for only $4.99. So how could I not buy it? And it still goes for the exact same price there now. One gift for two kids under five dollars. Where else can you find a bargain like that?
Description and facts:
Linny the plush is brown and tan in color. He is a guinea pig and looks like one too. His body is all soft and plush through and through. There is nothing harmful on him at all. That is most likely why there showed no age recommendation on the box. There is nothing to choke on or get hurt on. This is a nice soft plush to cuddle up with. Also Linny can be machine washed and dried. I use Dreft baby laundry soap to wash him and Snuggle fabric softener to dry him with and he comes out new, smelling good and feeling soft every time he is washed. On average I have to wash him once per week. Bret from day one has been quite the spiller and mess maker.
It is not an actual game that the Fisher Price Wonder Pets Linny the guinea pig plush set comes with. It is a fake CD with a code on it. This lets your child jump on Nick Jr Arcade web site and pick a game that they want to get for free. Your child or you can choose the game, add it to your shopping cart and then you check out using the code. It is totally free for you and you pay nothing for shipping.
They will send you a CD for the game that you chose. However, you don't have to wait till they ship the game to play it. You can judt down load it for free using the download code they email you at the time of purchase. Download it and install it and play. That is how easy it is. Plus you still get the CD in the mail with in a few days as well in case you ever lose the game to a re-boot.
Use:
My son is now two years old and still plays with Linny. He even takes him to bed to sleep with some nights. We have taken the plush Linny to the park with us and on trips to his Nana's house and more. So it has gotten a great amount of use and continues to get a lot of use still a whole year later. As far as the game. My daughter chose La Casa De Dora as her game. A game that allows her to be Dora in Dora's house. She can explore Dora twin baby brother and sisters room, cook with Dora's dad in the kitchen and many other things along the way. It is very interactive as are all the other games that they have available to choose as your free one with the Fisher Price Wonder Pets Linny the guinea pig plush set. So my daughter too is still getting a lot of use from this set.
My thoughts and recommendation:
The Fisher Price Wonder Pets Linny the guinea pig plush set was the perfect gift to buy as a combination gift for the kids. I don't think I will ever find another gift that will suit children that are five years apart in age. This was a special find for that to happen. I am glad that I made the purchase. The Linny is very easy to clean and maintain. My son is still very happy with it, and my daughter loves the game. So it could not have worked out in a better way. It is still a very popular set and still sells for the same price in any Toys R Us too. This would make a nice inexpensive gift this holiday season.
