Ocean Easy-Fold Play Gym
The Melissa & Doug Ocean Easy-Fold Play Gym with Quick-Close™ storage is thoughtfully designed to encourage babies to play and learn through multiple stages and ages! Sturdy, wide wooden arches are pre-assembled for easy set-up and offer caregivers easy access to baby. The arches stay secure on the comfy, reversible play mat with sensory ribbons and a crinkling peek-a-boo clam shell.
One side of the mat features high-contrast black-and-white graphics for early visual stimulation, and the other includes a full-color ocean scene to keep older babies engaged as vision develops. Attach the included soft, skill-supporting toys to the gym or play with them independently! There’s a vibrating wiggly octopus, a chiming high-contrast turtle with built-in safety mirror, a double-sided, multi-textured crinkling sea star, a bright squeaking crab, and a chiming manta ray that rattles when it’s kicked.
Mat and toys are machine washable. Press the innovative Quick-Close™ button to unlock the frame and easily fold for storage or to take the play gym on the go! The included Play Guide illustrates the many ways the play gym supports the powerful role play has in brain development, physical well-being, and creating connections!
What parents & caregivers are saying!
christinab147 says: "It was so easy to put together. The wood is so strong but not heavy. So easy to fold and put away. It’s very safe for the baby. If they grab a leg, they won’t be able to pull it down on them."
mariselar3: "I love this easy fold play gym…every detail is so pretty. The quality is excellent and the good thing is that it is very easy to assemble and is reversible. It's something I recommend giving at a baby shower."
thanht8: "I gave it to my cousin, she has a 3-month-old baby..she used it and said the baby loves it, every time he wakes up he plays with the toy animals…and it has music to help him feel happy...every time he cries, the music plays to make him smile...I really recommend it."
teaglowstyle: "The quality and durability are exceptional, with sturdy and safe materials that can handle daily use by an active baby. The spacious design provides ample room for movement and tummy time, making it comfortable and engaging. The play gym includes five sensory-stimulating toys: a chime, a vibrating toy, a crinkle toy, a rattle, and a squeaker. Overall, I highly recommend the Melissa & Doug Ocean Easy-Fold Play Gym for its combination of durability, spaciousness, and sensory toys. It’s a great investment for any parent wanting to provide a fun and developmental environment for their baby."
Ocean Tummy Time Triangle Baby Toy
Make baby’s tummy time extra special with this engaging, double-sided folding cloth triangle toy! Three fold-out panels with adorable ocean-themed graphics and friendly characters lie flat or fold and connect into an upright pyramid.
One side features high-contrast black and white graphics, great for important visual stimulation during the baby's first months. The other side includes colorful sea creatures with developmentally appropriate features, like a crab with a peek-a-boo mirror and squeaker, sensory tabs and ribbons on the jellyfish, and an attached tuck-away fish that stores in a pocket! The Tummy Time Triangle helps babies stay engaged and strengthen muscles during tummy play.
What parents & caregivers are saying!
Lswolf says: “Fun tummy-time toy! I feel like so many baby toys are only appropriate for a short time, but this has been fun for awhile! There is a black and white side, which is nice for infants that can't yet see colors, and it's reversible and has a colorful side for slightly older babies. It's soft and stands up like a little pyramid for tummy time. It has dangly parts for the baby to grab… my girly loves it!”
Faithg38 says: “Son loves it. My little 6 month old absolutely loves this toy and plays with it daily. He loves the mirror and the crinkly octopus legs and the fact it can lay out flat or I can connect it to stay in a triangle and he can throw it around.”
Gabrielas175 says: “Baby loves it! It keeps my baby busy for hours not only during tummy time but also when he is on his bouncer…You can put it laying down on the floor or even standing up. It’s a great toy for all babies, even my toddler loves it. Five stars all across!”
Lindsayca: “Adorable, love the contrast. This tummy time toy is completely adorable! It is dual sided with one side being bright and colorful, then the other side being black and white. We loved the under the sea theme that it had going on. I liked that you could lay it out flat or you could use the Velcro pieces and it’s a little triangle pop up. The colorful side has different engaging activities on each panel that will keep a baby entertained and engaged.”
Andream1040 says: “Cute and keeps the baby engaged. I love this. It’s so sturdy and cute. My girl really loves looking at it during tummy time. It’s very soft to the touch but sturdy enough for it to be kept standing up. I’ve had many baby toys in the past but this one is one of my favorites. The quality is amazing and it keeps my girl busy and engaged. Nothing more I could ask for from a baby toy.”

What parents & caregivers are saying!
Anayalovestobake says: “Very cute! My baby loved this toy so much! She was playing with it for like 20 minutes, and I was able to relax. Her favorite part is definitely the teether and the mirror.”
Carlifa8f9 says: “Cute and easy to use. This toy is adorable. Versatile. Could be used on car seats or crib toys. We have been using it as a crib toy. Love the different layers for the baby to use.”
Phuongt17 says: “This is an awesome toy! I received this just in time for my daughter’s first flight. She really enjoyed it. My daughter loves to play with toys that are bright and lively colors. The toy itself has three layers, which includes a soft cushion layer, a layer that has a mirror, and lastly a layer that includes a handle that also serves as a teething toy. My daughter is growing some teeth right now, so she really enjoys the teething part. I recommend toys from Melissa and Doug as they provide good quality entertainment for babies.”
Chauh2 says: “My kids love it!! This product is very soft and very cute. I love how big this strawberry is, the color is very nice. My baby liked to play with it and the mirror kept him occupied for some time. I think he will play with it for a little while.”
Fnuk4 says: “Lovely Toy! Melissa & Doug Strawberry Take Along Toy is such a great toy for my child development as it has a teether which makes this toy more useful. My daughter takes it everywhere when we go out and she loves it.”
This super-sweet clip-on vibrating pull-toy is a delicious way to entertain babies while stimulating their senses—without the sugar rush! It looks like a soft, smiling ice cream cone, but pull it down and it expands to four stacked scoops in different patterns, colors, and textures (cotton, corduroy, and quilted materials). When baby lets go, the cone vibrates and plays chiming sounds as it jiggles its way back to a single cone!
Attached are a textured strawberry and ribbons to rub. Bring the fun wherever baby goes—the self-stick strap lets you easily clip the all-in-one, multi-textured toy onto a stroller, car seat, diaper bag, or high chair to keep it close at hand.
