Melissa and Doug Hungry Pelican Learning Toy

I love the deals

My twin 16mo old grandchildren love this pelican. They are intrigued with watching the food drop into his belly. They feed him constantly as we keep him anchored to the stairway so he's accessible. They also take turns, which is wonderful, and squeal wth delight as they feed and retrieve the food. Lots of fun!

My son loves this guy. Pulling things out of other things is his favorite game so it was right up his alley! With the rattles, crinkles, and squeaker in the pelican it's a fun sensory experience. The one thing I will say is this toy does not sit up on its own but has a tie on the pelican head to support it. All around a great toy!

We tied the pelican up on the edge of the playroom. I love the little animals and the features of the pelican. The beak squeaks, the feet rattle and the wings crinkle. The only thing I'd change is the octopus, it has a squeaker but it is hard to manipulate, it would be better with jingle bells on the inside!

Sweet little toy! I love the learning value of Melissa and Doug toys, as well as the cuteness and happiness and fun. I thought it was a very nice toy, especially for a child who lives by the ocean. I also appreciate Melissa and Doug's customer service, and there was shipping trouble and they straightened it all out right away!

This is a very cute toy! I know the 1 year old I am giving it to will love it. Again, she will get to do to this toy what Mommy does - feeding it! It squeaks when the mouth is opened, and the child gets to see the food drop into the pelican's tummy. Little children love repetitive tasks and this is a perfect toy for entertaining and teaching the child.

I was a gift, but good news! The little critters were well loved. This will be a growing up to gift for a soon to be toddler. A learning experience with the critters going in the mouth and then magically appearing in the tummy! How does that happen? A toy that has many dimensions and will be loved for a long time.

By far MY favorite toy! So, So, Glad I purchased for grandchild. This whimsical Hungry Pelican gobbles up what learning hands feed into the large scoop bill and can inquisitively retrieve from his belly. Smaller soft "food" is the perfect size to add and take away! Grows with child as the child turns from baby to toddler.

I was actually very disappointed with this toy. First off the pelican doesn't sit he's very frumpy I thought maybe there was a base for him to sit up. I also thought maybe there was a flap for a hand to make him pretend eating but there wasn't. But that's my fault for not reading into it. I def think they should at least make him sit up.

Toy purchased so our one year old twin grandsons could chew the toys and take them in and out of the pelican. When I opened the package and set up the pelican, it just collapsed. There is a stiffened piece of material in it for support, but it was bent and even after straightening it the pelican still was not open for easy access to toys.
