A Big Bad Dinosaur!

My son got a real cool gift yesterday. “Cool!” is actually a quote in this case! It was a moving and roaring dinosaur which captured his heart right away. A big one, a predator with big scary teeth, and a long red tongue that moves inside its mouth – doesn’t get more cool than that, [...]

Stuffed Frogs Toys – Webkinz Frogs!

Why frogs? Well, why not? Also, I am Jewish and it being Passover, frogs are actually a bit of a seasonal theme, so even a better reason for doing frogs today. Stuffed frogs are the best, and no, not as a recipe. It’s not kosher for one thing I’m talking about sweet plush stuffed frogs [...]

real good dollhouses

Being a mom, I’m also a girl, I guess! Is that why I’m so happy to be writing about dollhouses today? I adored playing with doll houses as a little girl, and I still enjoy them today too. As a matter of fact, my boys enjoy dollhouses too, and they can spend hours playing with [...]

Star Wars Still Popular with Kids

Spending some time browsing the toys and games section at Amazon, I decided to see which items were the most popular. Sorting them by popularity, one thing sure did catch my eye. Among every conceivable Webkinz  critter, the Zingo card game and other fashionable kids toys, I found two classical items, that would have been [...]

Go Fly a Kite

And I do mean that in the nicest of ways! Kites are the local theme in the gifts arena in our family these past few weeks. Five weeks ago, walking the aisles of our local Toys R’ Us, my husband discovered a treasure. A kite clearance sale where 20 kites were offered for a mere [...]
