2008 marks the 60th anniversary of WHAM-O, the creator of many of the toys and games parents remember from their own childhoods such as the Slip ‘N Slide, Hula Hoop, Frisbee, SuperBall and more.
To help celebrate its 60th anniversary, WHAM-O has five 60th Anniversary Edition Toys out - a Hula Hoop, Slip ‘N Slide Mega Shark, […]
Well, I fell victim to the cool picture on the package of the Wigglin’ Water Squirter Hose sprinkler when I saw it on the shelf at Wal-Mart today. At just $16.95, I thought I’d give it a try for my triplets’ 4th birthday this summer.
Here’s my theory - my kids always bump into eachother using […]
One of my favorite things to do when I was a kid was playing games in the pool. My brother, sisters and I and our friends would spend hours and hours in our pool making up elaborate games and races, but we’d also spend a lot of time simply throwing rings or coins in the […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Spring is here and that means summer is on its way! Of course, I live in Florida, so it’s always summer, but I remember the anticipation for summer once April hit from my years growing up in New Jersey. In fact, before my husband and I moved to Florida, we bought a kiddie pool for […]
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 […]
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 […]
