My name is Susan Gunelius, and I’m very happy to be the new author of Play Library. I have some big shoes to fill, but with 3-year old triplets and 10 neices and nephews ranging in age from 3 to 18, I’ve been around toys, games, children’s books, children’s movies, and more for a long, long time.

“That is not your toy. This is Mommy’s kitchen tool.” I don’t know how many times I say that in a day! There are so many things around the house that the kids would love to able to get their hands on that wouldn’t be safe for them to play with. […]
Connect Four was one of my favorite games ever when I was younger. It was always the most popular game for indoor recess on rainy or snowy days. I think I liked it best because the kid I happened to have a crush on also liked the game. I remember […]

I came across this site for SEE Toys (I can’t even remember how that happened, now), and I thought it was an interesting thought toward more earth-friendly toy production. Here’s a quote from their website:
The See Toys are green, environmentally friendly, electronic toys that never need batteries! They feature a power crank that […]
Check out Hsien and her family’s exciting news surrounding the Transformers this week! It’s Stephen’s first moment of celebrity! At least, his first that I’m aware of. :) That’s one proud mama, there, as she should be. :)

With all the talk of the lead paint in recalled toys, I’m wondering how seriously parents are taking the news. So, here’s my question: Did you clear out the potentially dangerous toys from your kids’ toyboxes? Did you compare the recall list to your current toy inventory list? Will you […]
