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 […]
My kids got the Sassy Poppin’ Push Car when they were babies. Before they could even crawl, I remember pushing that car in front of them as they watched intently.

I am seriously thinking about buying one of these for my youngest child. It’s the Vtech - Write & Learn Letter Pad. He is at that stage where he’s starting to learn to write his letters. The only problem is, he only does it at school. I thought that maybe if I got him […]
