Jacques the Peacock is a brightly colored, high contrast, soft velour toy made by Lamaze. The bright contrasting colors and patterns are designed to visually stimulate a baby from birth on. There is a mirror for individual peek-a-boo or parent/ child peek-a-boo. Jacques the Peacock also has auditory stimulation with a squeaker, rattle, and crinkle noise makers. This toy is soft and cuddly, the ideal bed-time buddy or learning toy.
Pros:
- Jacques the Peacock comes with a Lamaze link for easy attachment to strollers, car seats, and diaper bags, which make this toy great for bringing along.
- Jacques offers both visual and auditory stimulation through the attachments of a rattle, mirror, crinkle noise maker, and brightly colored, patterned fabrics. All of this makes for a great learning toy that will appeal to your child at various stages of growth and development.
- Jacques has a friendly face that babies find comforting and amusing.
- Jacques the Peacock is a soft toy that helps to sooth babies at bed-time.
- This toy is light-weight enough for most little hands to hold and manipulate with ease.
Cons:
- Tail consists of hard and large pieces that are difficult to bend and are not easy to manipulate for some babies under 6 months old.
- There are no stretchy or springy limbs. If your child is into interactive toys, this may not provide the type of stimulation that he/she is interested in.
- There are no rubber surfaces to aid in teething, only the harder textured feathers of the tail.

My 4 month-old daughter loves to look at the bright colors of Jacques the Peacock. Both the front and the back of the toy are visually interesting to my little one, so she never really minds if Jacques is forwards, backward, or even right-side up. She is interested from every angle.
She is just now really becoming interested in all of the possible sound effects, but she really gets a kick out of the crinkle noise in particular.
I like to play with her with the mirror on the tail feather. Peek-a-boo with the mirror just never gets old for either of us. She just laughs and coos.
My daughter also really likes to cuddle with Jacques at bed-time. This is her most favorite toy for home, travel, sleep, wake, really any time. Our family could not do without Jacques the Peacock by Lamaze.
