Moulin Roty’s Jolis pas Beaux (which roughly trasnlates to “the Pretty Uglies”) are my kind of baby toys. They have just the right basic features: baby-safe, super soft, multi-textured, with a little bit of sound. Luckily the extra-concentrated dose of character-building charm keeps them from seeming dull. Because if you’re going to be staring at the dang thing in your Sweet Baby Love’s hand/mouth for the next who-knows-how-long, it’s best if you don’t look bored when you see it. Your wee one might notice, you know?

I am looking for a specific baby toy I have bought at FAO Swartz in Kansas City several times before the store went out of business. I still want to purchase several more of these wonderful items, as each of my children and many of my friends’ babies, I was told, never tired of them. Description: First, a 2 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch rounded base, bright, shiny, excellent quality bright plastic in color. Insid was a music box, not very loud.
Branching out from the base, from 6 or 8 positions in the base were a variety of bright primary colored balls, also excellently manufactured and designed that wiggled a bit, to the child’s delight. The balls were connected to the base by a 2 1/2 inch spiral designed attachment, appearing to be a spring, but with no stretch, and just enough wiggle so that the balls hit one another gently. This is a toy for a baby, 6 months and up because babies like to use it as a clutch toy, and they love to try to suck the ball, but they are too big. Mom turns on the music box, which has a lovely song it plays. Even the music box is constructed for a baby/toddler. The toy can be dropped from a highchair, walker, or crib, and suffer no harm, not even a scratch. My children, 2 boys and a girl, each had fun with this toy daily for 2-3 years. Please let me know if you know where I can get this toy. The first one was purchased in 1981, the second in 1985, and the 3rd, in 2005.
Thank you very much!
