The Lamaze Play and Grow Peacock was designed by Yale University child development experts to stimulate and delight babies from birth on up with its bright colors and multiple textures and sounds.

Jacques the Peacock Stimulates Baby’s Vision and Auditory Skills
When babies are first born, they see in black and white. This is why the Play and Grow Peacock strikes a balance between bright, high contrast patterns that help stimulate baby’s vision, and bold solid colors that give baby’s eyes a place to rest. Sounds like crinkle, squeakers and jingles also help stimulate and develop baby’s auditory skills. Finally, large, friendly eyes on the Play and Grow Peacock invite baby to focus and stare at a single object, which helps calm baby while supporting healthy eye development.
Child-Safe Design
Whether they’re playing in the crib or preparing for a nap, your little one will enjoy hours of delight with the Play and Grow Peacock. Safe and easy for little hands to manipulate, it features a soft velour body that invites snuggling and playing. And the busy wings have different textures and interactive components–like the mirror, which allows for both independent and parent/baby peek-a-boo play–to keep baby engaged as he grows.
The Play and Grow Peacock comes with a limited 90 day warranty.

Play and Grow Peacock Reviews
Baby’s Best FriendJacques is one of Lamaze’s best offerings! The peacock is light enough – and the feather panels thin enough – for little hands to grab, tug and pick up without easily dropping. The feather panels also provide several chewable surfaces for little ones who love to put everything in their mouth.
The shape of this toy also makes it easy to tuck into a car seat. While a lot of toys seem to fall out of the car seat once baby starts playing with them, the flatness of the feather panels and the flat bottom of the peacock body seem to help this toy stay in the seat. Also, the feather panels are easy for baby to reach out for an edge, grab and pull back into reach.
For these reasons, we made our peacock a “car only” toy so that our little one, who was not fond of car travel at 4 months, would have something he liked in the car. This toy was an immediate favorite even before our little one really became interested in these types of toys.
The back of the peacock feathers have different black and white panels which makes the toy interesting even when the toys happens to be upside down. The cute face and large eyes appealed to our little guy and were worthy of cues and smiles – a friend indeed. I could not be happier with this toy. Our favorite Lamaze character!

Great Toy!We saw this in Babies-R-Us and our little baby couldn’t stop laughing when she saw it. I think it’s the combination of the BIG EYES, the squeaker in one of the wings, the mirror in another wing, the krinkly sounds and the bright colors.
The hook on top is useful for hanging from the carseat or from the swing — however, if you are just trying to make Jacque dance for your baby, the hook kind of gets in the way but that is a minor note.
Overall, I highly recommend Jacque — she has not tired of him yet and everytime she sees good ol’ Jacque, her face lights up and she babbles at him.
Our lad’s favorite!I bought this toy on a whim for our little guy when he was about 10 weeks old, and it has been his favorite toy ever since. Whether he’s chewing on Jacqes many wings, scrunching them to hear the crinkly noises, or just manipulating the many surfaces, he really keeps himself entertained! It’s great to see such a wonderful toy, especially at this price. He’s now almost 8 months old and he still loves it, although now that he’s starting to appreciate things that make noise when he shakes them, other toys compete for his interest.
not a hit with a 6 m/oWe bought this for our 6-months-old son. It’s not a hit. The problem is that the tail consists of very hard and large pieces that barely bend. The kid has a hard time grabbing the toy and cannot really manipulate with any elements. Nothing here can be stretched, squeezed, rolled, pulled — unlike, say, those long legs or necks or tails in other similar toys. Our son can’t even stick any part of this toy in his mouth! So, he understandably doesn’t want to play with it. The peacock looks pretty, but you don’t really want to touch it. Our kid loves the elefant, the giraffe, and the monkey made by Tiny Love.
We love Jacques!,
This little peacock is my 3 month-old’s best friend. She’s gotten very grabby with toys lately and Jacques is her favorite. He’s light enough to fling around, and he makes the crinkly noises that she likes. And his feathers are thin enough for her to gum them, which is a big plus to her. Plus the back of his feathers have a vibrant black & white design that appeal to her as her vision is still developing.
Best of all though is the mirror on his top left “feather”. That alone mezmorizes her and makes her crave Jacques. I’d buy a hundred of him if I had to! This is the best toy I’ve seen for this age group. Any baby’s best friend!
