Step 2 Naturally Playful Sandbox - The Sand Stays Dry!

I took a long time trying to pick out the right sandbox for my 3-year old triplets.  I didn’t want wood because we live in Florida and bugs are always a concern (especially termites). 
It had to be big enough for three kids, but not too big because my yard isn’t huge.  It had to have […]

Free Shipping on Little Tikes Slam n Slide Pool, Slide and Climber

Summer is almost here (actually, it’s already here in Florida), and it’s time to start thinking about outdoor toys, pools and more.  I received an email this week from Little Tikes with what I think is probably the coolest all-in-one inflatable water slide, pool and climber.  Check out the Little Tikes Slam n Slide for […]

Beach Blast Ball for Outdoor Water Fun

Check out the Beach Blast Ball that I found on the BabyCenter store today for children ages 3 and up.  This toy costs $12.95 and is just 18″ in diameter.  Once attached to a garden hose, the ball bounces and squirts water in all different directions.  In fact, kids won’t know where it’s going to bounce […]

When my youngest was between 1 and 2, he liked […]

The Blast Pad Looks Like a Blast!

I have 2 boys who would absolutely love this toy! It’s called the Blast Pad. Now, it doesn’t blast a child up in the air, which my boys would prefer, but instead you jump on it to blast a missile up in the sky.
“The Blast Pad™ Advanced missile launch system is a revolutionary new […]

Pool Toys Recalled Because of Risk of Laceration

Yes, another recall but it has nothing to do with lead believe it or not.
About 31,000 children’s pool toys have been recalled because of risk of laceration.
Swimways Corp., of Virginia Beach, Va., is recalling Skippy pool toys (pictured here) because the elastic tongue of the fish can break, come out forcefully and cut the users’ […]

Best Summer Yard Toys: The Sprinkler

After discussing some of the more expensive and seemingly over-the-top pool toys, I have to share some of my favorite summer toys, starting with the yard sprinkler. It’s not that expensive, the kids love running through it, it’s close to home (no wrangling wet kids into car seats and onto towels for the drive!), and […]
