Looking for something fun and easy to do with your kids outside? Try Dip Stix bubble kit.. great for all ages!

I haven’t met a child yet who doesn’t love to blow bubbles. I buy my kids bubbles for almost every holiday as I’m sure a lot of parents do. Bubbles are easy and entertaining.. two things I love! We own automated bubble blowing machines, tiny bubble wands, big bubble wands, and spill-proof bubbles. We recently

These Backyard Safari Outfitters’ toys supply kids with endless hours of outdoor fun

Sebastian loves to be outside. He’ll easily spend over an hour poking around the yard with a stick. I don’t know what he’s looking for when he pokes around.. I’m just glad he’s occupying himself and is not in front of the TV. I love watching him tiddle around in the yard..

Hexbug Nano – my son’s new robotic creature

We are vacationing in Florida this week and we always go to Park Avenue, a hip outdoor shopping area in Winter Park to browse the shops and play in the park. Today we went in a cute little shop on Park Avenue called Lighten Up! (here is their Facebook page) where Sebastian got a Hexbug

Review: Summer Playtime Fun with the Playmobil Wild Life Care Station

Madelyn and Sebastian were so excited when they saw the Playmobil Wild Life Care Station (amazon.com link). Both of my kids, ages 10 and 4, love this Playmobil set and let me tell you.. I love it too.. not only because it’s super cool but because it actually occupies both of my kids for longer than 15 minutes at a time. It’s a rarity that we have a toy that both kids enjoy playing with.. and playing together.. that’s even more rare!

What do your kids really play with?

Do you spend money on toys and games only to find them in the garage a couple of weeks later? For example, my 10 year old son really wanted Bakugan. He has several Bakugan and played with them quite a bit for about a week. Since then he doesn’t know where more than 2 of

No Training Wheels Required – Wooden Balance Bike for Kids

Walk along balance bikes seem to be popping up on playgrounds and parks across the country. I was first drawn to the Skuut bike because of its to the clean, modern design. My husband, an avid cyclist, has had his eye set on one of these for our daughter even before she could walk. The

Sept. 24 Must-Have: Duncan Pulse YoYo

My 10 year old loves yo-yo’s. I do to. The yo-yo is a classic toy that I had when I was a kid and it actually require some skill, unlike some toys and games kids have these days. I sound so old.. but I’m not, really! Not only the best light-up yo-yo on the market,

Two Classic Toys for Your Creative Toddler

Madelyn, 3 years old, is at the age when she appreciates toys that require some level of creativity. Because she is a little young, she can’t take complete advantage of the creative aspects of the toys, but she enjoys trying. For example, she enjoys putting pegs in the Lite-Brite but she can’t place the pegs

Plan Toys Eco Friendly Drum Set – From our friends at TheFind.com

I’ve been searching for a modern, well made and eco-friendly drum set for my toddler daughter. Up until now she’s created her own impromptu drum set with my All-Clad sauce pans. Big mistake. It’s time to invest in a proper drum set to save my pots and my sanity. The Plan Toys drumset is much
