automoblox.

T9-SE Limited Edition$40 {via Automoblox} Remember when I wrote about Automoblox? How much I love their cars, and I wish they made life size cars, or at the very least that Automoblox would pimp my ride. They are honestly my hands down, top, favorite toy car. The engineering is ridiculous, in a really good way. Someone with a small little destructive 4-year-old boy has put some serious time into these cars because from what I can tell, they can’t be…

storage solutions.

I love Cookie Magazine. I love everything about it, especially the clever decorating and organization ideas for kids rooms. I spied this little nook in Cookie a little while ago and fell in love with it; we have so many little cars and trains roaming around our house that would love to find a home in a little zipper cases like these. var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

5th day of christmas giveaway #1!

How about some toys for the kids today? I promised to double up on the giveaways today so here we go! I had never heard of Jishaku, and am totally intrigued by it, to say the least. It’s “a portable strategy game like chess or checkers that can be played anywhere – the kitchen or the beach. But unlike chess, there is an element of surprise when the magnets jump out of position, without warning. Surprise, then laughs, follow as…

on the 7th day of christmas my true love ALSO gave to me…

Okay, this is a really cool giveaway. There’s a website called The Young Scientists Club designed to get {and keep!} kids excited about science through interactive kits, mailed once or twice a month, and an online forum for kids to ask questions. I mean, how cool is that? You can get science kits mailed to you a couple of times a month. How much fun is that for the whole family? I love this kind of stuff. One of you…

wooden animal play sets for kids.

Have you seen them? Do you know how to pronounce it? No matter how,  (Is it cheek-EYES, like eyeballs, or is it cheek-EES?), just get them. Cheekeyes makes some of the cutest wooden play sets I’ve seen.  A special gift for any toddler that parents also will appreciate.
