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 […]

Sassy Poppin’ Push Car - A Toy That Lasts for Years

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.  Soon they would hold it and shake it.  Eventually, they could push it along the floor themselves as they crawled behind.  This car took a […]

The Sit n Spin Disappointment

When I was a kid I wanted a sit ‘n spin so badly.  I never got one, but my best friend had one.  I remember spinning on her porch on that Sit ‘n Spin with ease, going so fast for so long that I felt ill.  Those were the days.
With that fond memory in mind, I […]

I must admit, I was […]

Step 2 Frog Sandbox

My son received this frog sandbox, made by Step 2, a bit early for his third birthday. I keep calling it a turtle, he keeps correcting me.
Anway, we decided that, with winter almost here, we’d bring it in the house for the next few months. That way, he doesn’t constantly beg us to […]

Nostalgia Toy #2: Fisher Price Corn Popper

I don’t remember playing with the Fisher Price Corn Popper myself, but I do remember my sister (who’s a few years younger than me) annoying the snot out of me with it when she was a baby. Hmmm….she started awfully early with that trend, didn’t she?
Anyway, I thought I’d seen the last of it […]
