iPlay Aquatrax Water Adventure - Review

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 […]

iPlay Aquatrax Deluxe Water Adventure System - Yay or Nay?

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 […]

Lights and Sounds but No Batteries!

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 Love the Aquadoodle

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 […]

Configurable Balance Beam Toy for Children

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 […]

Calico Critters - Great Toys for Girls and Boys but Mostly Girls

Honeybee Hop - So Much Fun

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 […]
