Product Description

Editorial Review

Want to give your new baby the sun and the moon? Celeste has a three-dimensional, yellow velour sun face with black embroidery on one side, and an embroidered satin moon face on the other. Trimmed in brightly colored, boldly patterned cotton prints, this is one visually stimulating toy. Dangling from Celeste's round body are four stretchy black-and-white polka dot ribbons with a different toy suspended at each end. There's a yellow star teether, a square of purple velour with an embroidered butterfly that rattles when shaken, a green velour circle with embroidered ladybug that squeaks when pressed, and a triangular plastic link. Celeste is easy to carry, too, thanks to a crinkling fabric handle. --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest infant toy, January 28, 2002

I bought this before our baby girl was born. She's 8 mos. now, and it has been the best toy she has. It was perfect for observing when she began to see bright colors (a few weeks), getting her attention with the squeaker and rattle (0-1 mo.), swatting practice (1-3 mos.), grabbing practice (2-4 mos.), shaking the rattle (3-6 mos.), practicing her pincer grasp on the sun's rays (5-7 mos.)...you get the idea. And the whole time I've hooked it to her stroller or crib, and tossed into the washer without problem. She still loves it, and I highly recommend it for a newborn or shower gift.

Celeste is the BEST!! My son absolutely loves this toy! We take it everywhere that we go. My son is very particular about toys. To this point, he hasn't cared for much of anything that I have bought for him. Then one day I was shopping for something else and picked this up and gave it to him. He immediately held on and put it in his mouth. When I tried to take it away to pay for it, he cried. Right now he is 5 1/2 months old and we have had Celeste for about 6 weeks. My son loves to hold on to the black and white tentacles and put the toys in his mouth. He much prefers the sunshine side to the moon/stars side. The toy is very soft and plush and Jameson loves to just pet it with his hands. He also likes the little handle loop at the top bacause it makes a crinkly noise. I recommend this toy because it is very soft and extremely well-made. It doesn't have that harsh sort of cheap feel that so many other soft baby toys have. The face is very inviting and has so many places and textures for a baby to grab onto. Although I have yet to wash it this way, it looks as if it would easily wash in the washing machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars So glad we got this!, April 30, 2003

My son loves this toy! It is one of his favorites, next to his basic set of 'first keys.' What's nice is that it's very soft and he can throw it around and bang his head into it without getting hurt. He loves putting the yellow star in his mouth, which is great while he's teething. That big yellow sun just keeps him occupied for quite some time. I've been able to hang it from activity gyms, his crib, his stroller, and just allow him to play with it while not attached to anything. The colors are beautiful and I catch myself sometimes playing with it. It has everything a baby would love: great colors, noise (a rattle and what I call a squeeker), and a teether--not only the yellow rubber star, but the soft silky "rays" that come out of the sun. Your child should love this, it's worth every penny.
