Not Worth the Hype for Little Ones - Honest Review

Not for the Little Ones (0+)

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm sharing my honest experience with these seven gnomes for babies, and I've got to say, they're a total letdown. The books are wrapped in plastic, and the back says they're designed for kids from 0-6 years old. That's not what I signed up for when I bought them on Ozon, thinking they'd be a good fit for my 0-1 year-old son. But in reality, they're more geared towards 0-6 years. The stickers in Activity with Stickers 0+ are another letdown - they're way too old for a baby. I'm not impressed with these products, and I don't think they're worth the investment. If you're looking for quality products for your little ones, keep looking. These books are just a quick buck for parents, and that's not something I'm okay with.

I was really let down by these seven gnomes. It feels like they don't care about the kids or their parents at all. They'd make a quick buck off trusting parents, that's for sure.

Another activity set that's way too old for a baby is Activity with stickers 0+

I bought these exact books on Ozon. The reviews were good, so I decided to give them a try. They're supposed to be for kids from 0 to 1 year old, but I figured my son is about to turn 1, and this set is more geared towards 0 to 6 years, so I thought it would be a good fit. I ended up buying them, and they arrived. I started going through them.

The books are wrapped in plastic. On the back, it says they're designed for kids from 0 to 6 years old. It's not hard to figure out that you need to buy separate books for each age group.

There are four books in total. There are additional stickers, and each book has stickers inside. There are a lot of stickers, and they're bright, good quality, and nice-looking.

I've only just looked through the packaging, and I've already lost four stickers. Although I haven't even started using them yet. I just unwrapped the packaging. Oh well. Let's take a look at the books.

Each one has a parental page with instructions on how to play with the child.

I love it when they say the book is for kids from 10 months to 1.5 years old. I just want to say: what are you even talking about?! Why do you have a set for 1-year-olds if it's for 10-month-olds?! Have you ever seen a 10-month-old who understands what a butterfly is and needs to stick it on a flower?

And how many 10-11-month-olds understand the concept of day and night? To me, that's just nonsense! Why are you selling this?! I get it if you're showing pictures and explaining things. But how can you expect a child under a year to figure all this out?

I'm all for a subjective approach when it comes to kids' development. They should grow at their own pace, not be rushed. No need to push the cart too hard!

I'm all for letting kids have fun, but not at the expense of their development. Each book has a page with stickers, and it's up to you to find the right one for your little one. Even if you help them, they still won't understand what's going on. I think it's fine to let them play with these kinds of books around 1.3-1.5 years old, maybe even a bit older. But not at 10-11 months. Honestly, books this young shouldn't even be handled by kids. We showed our little one a cat and said 'meow' - and that's it! What's the point of stickers at this age?

This book is about geometric shapes. Are you kidding me? I've got nothing better to do than teach my 10-month-old what a circle and a triangle are. Do the creators of these books have any idea how kids develop before the age of one? Thanks, I guess. I ended up buying a bunch of unnecessary stuff that'll last me for a couple of years. I could've bought something more age-appropriate.

I agree that some books by the Seven Gnomes might be suitable for kids under one, but this particular book is way off. I'd say it's more suitable for kids aged 1-2. It's nowhere near 0+. Show a dog and say 'woof' - that's all you need. You've got enough books already! The stickers are unnecessary. Just admit that you need to make some extra cash off parents.

I'm seriously regretting buying the whole 0+ course after the initial, basic workbook. The only thing I got from the basic workbook was the rest of the course, which is just collecting dust. I did manage to return the 'masters' set, though. I returned it when I found out that the 0+ set comes with paints, crayons, and playdough labeled as suitable for kids aged 3. And it doesn't even come with finger paints.

I was expecting finger paints for the kids' safety. Regular paints would just ruin the furniture and clothes. And, of course, they're impossible to clean. I mean, who has three days to waste trying to get the paint off a kid's clothes?

I was shocked, to say the least. I had no idea the manufacturer would go that far.

By the way, I tried using the stickers with my 11-month-old son. I showed him how to stick them on a flower. He was interested for a bit, picked up the sticker, and... crumpled it in his hands. I'll be taking those stickers out every now and then, but it's going to be a while before he's ready for them.

I'm seriously doubting whether we'll be buying from this manufacturer again. Maybe their products are better suited for older kids. But these stickers? They're getting a solid 2 stars from me. And they're going straight to the shelf to collect dust. I'm just waiting for the day when they'll be useful.

If they sold this workbook based on the child's age, the review would be completely different.
