Last month, I posted about the iPlay Aquatrax Deluxe Water Adventure System asking if PlayLibrary readers could help me decide whether or not I should buy it for my triplets’ fourth birthday. Then I got the smaller version (pictured) called the iPlay Aquatrax Water Adventure to test from International Playthings. Here is my review […]

I love Melissa and Doug toys, and I planned on writing about the Melissa and Doug Mailbox today (don’t worry, keep your eyes on PlayLibrary for that review in the coming days). However, as I prepared to write about the mailbox, I stumbled on the Melissa and Doug Tree House Play Set, and was […]

If you read PlayLibrary frequently, then you know my triplets’ fourth birthday is coming this summer. I gave them a catalog from Sensational Beginnings this week and asked them to tell me if they saw anything they wanted me to get them for their birthday. Of course, they wanted everything in the catalog, but one […]

Hat tip to Peggy at Tree Hugging Family for posting about the new Sprig toys that deliver electronic-like features such as lights and sounds without batteries. Of course, no batteries is very eco-friendly, but most parents will also agree that toys that don’t require batteries are simply great! First, batteries are too expensive and die […]

I bought my kids an Aquadoodle when they were about 2 years old. I liked the idea that they could draw on it without making a mess. In the beginning, they would make one or two marks then walk away. That evolved into them demanding that I draw various shapes for them. Eventually, they started […]

I’ve been thinking about buying a balance beam toy for my kids to use indoors on rainy days. I think it would be a great way to work on improving balance when we can’t get to the playground, and I think the kids would enjoy it. Most of the balance beams I have found weren’t […]

When my daughter passed the potty training milestone several months ago, her aunt gave her a present - the Pretty Pretty Princess Cinderella Edition Dress Up Game. My daughter was about 3 1/2 years old when she received this present, and she’s been enjoying it more and more each week since she got it.
The game […]

I love the Honeybee Hop by Playskool. Well, I suppose the music gets a bit annoying, but aside from that, I think this toy is great.
First, it’s easy to set up. Even my 3-year old triplets can pull it out at any time, press the button on top and get it started. I love toys […]
