Fabulously Chic. Irresistably Practical.
Unique, funky, and oh-so-chic, Color Zoo from Allen Ave. is a perfect gift forany child or even a kid-at-heart, animal-loving adult.
Exuberantly vivid, retro prints will add flair to any child’s room and, if your kid insists on bring her friend along, you’ll have no problem spotting the brightly-colored plush animal hidden in the jungle gym.
Elmer the Elephant marches to the beat of a different drummer, in syncopated rhythm.
If your child is a fan of Elmer’s lively and vivid books, she will immediately recognize this special Elephant friend in his new, high-quality plush form.
Earth-friendly in both manufacture and play, Sprig Hollow from Sprig Toys are ready to help your child explore her environment and build a better world. Not to mention they are just about the cutest little things.
Made from recycled wood and reclaimed plastic, “Sprig Wood” is easy on the earth, durable, and child-safe, too. It even smells fresh and woodsy.
The adorably cartoonish design had my preschooler grabbing at the box before I even had a chance to open it…
We reviewed Bella Sara trading cards and online gaming community before. Each card includes a unique code that activates a virtual version of the horse pictured on the card at the Bella Sara website. Girls can feed, groom and play games with their virtual horses as well as read stories.
Bella Sara has just released two new products that would be perfect for your little girl’s Easter Basket. The first is the Bella Sara Miniatures Collection ($1.99). Each pack contains a small velvety horse and a bonus code that can be redeemed online to play special games. I wouldn’t recommend the miniatures collection if you have babies or young toddlers in your house since the little pieces could be a choking hazard. But the older girls (7 & 8) who tested this product loved being able to hold and play with the horses they adore from the online games…

Girlie little princesses who want a playspace of their own will adore the Playskool Dream Town Sweet Lily Castle. We’re loving this well-designed play house (ahem, castle) from the Playskool Dream Town Collection. Although I always prefered GI Joe to Barbie and black to pink, my preschooler is drawn to pretty shoes and dresses in […]
Video Games aren’t for everyone. Candace makes a big effort to engage in only “unplugged” play. Her little girl watches almost no tv, and I highly doubt she’ll be playing video games anytime soon.
