Melissa & Doug Hungry Pelican

Description
This cuddly plush pelican has an empty belly . . . and a big appetite for fun! Young children can open the pelican's big bill (which squeaks when squeezed!) to drop four mini plush animals into his open mouth. Then the crinkly shrimp, squeaking octopus, and rattling fish and crab drop right into the bird's big belly! A peek-in, reach-in window on the pelican's front lets kids spot them easily and pull them out to try it all again. The repetitive activity is great for babies and toddlers working on motor skills and other early developmental skills. And thanks to an incredible array of fun-to-explore features--from chubby, squeak-able cheeks to crinkly wings to floppy, rattling feet--it never gets old!

Not as useful as thought
June 26, 2022
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.

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.

Our youngest granddaughter is 1, but ahead of her age due to competing with her older sisters. She loves this toy and played with it for hours. The hungry pelican now has a 'happy belly' and she loves to cuddle this soft plush toy.

Love this❣️
September 26, 2021
I bought this years ago when I worked as a parent advisor for children with vision and/or hearing concerns. The bright colors and textures attracted their interest. I must have lost the "pelican food" in a move. Are extra food items available? This is a great interaction toy WITH a child to learn cause and affect, social and communication skills!

A Fun, Safe Toy
January 1, 2021
I purchased this for Christmas for my grandchild who lives in another state. Since travel is restricted I have not been able to see her play with it.
It looked like a fun and safe toy and the price was reasonable. Thanks

Cute but does it sit up
December 31, 2020
It's very cute but it does NOT sit up like the picture shows It must be hung in order for a child to use it. We ended up hanging it in the car for him to play with only drive somewhere. Very disappointed

For all the raves, this was a bust. The fact that it doesn't sit up, which is remarked upon in other reviews is a real problem. Toddlers can't get the mouth open alone and the small critters don't go down easily

A funny addition to the playroom
August 21, 2020
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!

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.

So many ways to play
May 9, 2020
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!

Super cute! Love the tie to hold it up:)
January 22, 2020
Pleasantly surprised that there is a tie to hold it up! Just happens to be the perfect size to tie onto the handle of my baby's push cart. Great quality, love that it is machine washable. The mini plush animals are adorable, the shrimp is his favorite. Love the different crinkly, rattly, squeaky features. 5/5

I would choose a different toy
January 15, 2020
We received this as a gift. Like other reviews stated, it'd be much better if the pelican's body had more structure to it rather than just flopping over. My son would definitely play with it more of I didn't have to hold it up or find something to secure it to when playing outside of his crib. Not sure if only I have this problem, but the pelican's mouth is pretty small. It's difficult to get the toys in without practically force-feeding; the octopus barely fits. The squeaker in the beak can be tough for a child to get to although the crinkle in the wings is superb. The crab rattle is a favorite.

Toy was ok
December 31, 2019
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.
