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 […]

My son loves Star Wars stormtroopers. I’m not sure what the appeal is, but he loves them. Today, he picked out a Star Wars Stormtrooper action figure at Target (it also came with a Star Wars coin), and it’s feet fell off within an hour of play. Not only that but the gun is affixed […]

Cranium’s Hullabaloo is an action-oriented game for kids ages 4 and up. What I love most about this game is there is virtually no set up, and kids can play it with little or no supervision. My 3-year old triplets love this game, and after I showed them how to use it the first time, […]

When I got the heads-up from Karen about an Easy Bake Oven recall, I remembered that Hsien had reported one back earlier in the year. It seems that the issues that were causing concern in February have not yet been properly addressed, and now I’ve seen them use the word amputation. Yep, definitely […]

Okay, so, if you’ve known me for more than…say….5 minutes or so, you’ll know that I am not a lover of pink. Really. At all. However, I make exceptions for pink when it really matters. This is one of those days (yes, they are far a few between).
This story comes via […]

I love that the Cootie Games are all still around. It’s fun to have a few games that both my 3 and 5 year old can enjoy playing together with out it being too challenging or too boring for either. Although all of the little Cootie pieces are a pain to have scattered […]

A post written by Sandra Pedicini in the Orlando Sentinel Blog reminded me of another of my favorite toys growing up. Weebles!! I always remember calling them “Weeble Wobbles.” Was I mistaken? And do we all remember the tagline, “Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down?” And was I the […]

This vacation, my husband has been busy collecting these Star Wars Titanium Series spacecrafts. We have looked high and lo in many Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us stores. And I know he’s not the only one who’s still collecting Star Wars crap stuff.
Experts say “Star Wars” goods have shown surprising strength this year […]
