I intended it for party favors, but one rainy afternoon when Mom was working and my son was busy in the kitchen I decided to get it out for the girls. At four and six years old, they're Play-Doh veterans and have a crate of little accessories to help with ...             Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set23 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug Easel companion set- great value The best part about this set was the paint cups. It fits perfectly in the easel and they have lids so you don't have toss out the leftover paint. I've spent lots of money on getting some decent brushes and the ones from this set are durable and thick enough for good textures. It also helped that the handles had matching colors on them so they could remember which brush belongs in what cup so we ...             Fisher Price Dora Style Your Own Camera1 review Fisher Price Fisher Price, 2008 My 2-year-old daugher loves it My daughter received this as a gift for her second birthday. It comes with 3 cartridges of stickers that eject like a polaraid every time she take a picture. Of course, it makes a mess, but it did take her a while to realize that they were stickers, so we just kept putting the stickers back into the cartridges and let her reuse them. Once she realized they were stickers, they were stuck ...             Melissa and Doug Pattern Blocks and Boards22 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Unguided, creative play My four-year-old son did each of the printed boards once and since then we haven't bothered much with them. It's more fun to play with the tiles by themselves. And believe it or not, it *is* fun, for all of us. The four-year-old boy makes pictures. The mommy makes groovy geometric patterns. The math nerd dad (that's me) makes dodecagons. I'm especially happy that there are enough pieces ...             Playhut Mega land137 reviews Playhut Playhut, 2008 Great fun for indoors and out! This is a great toy for people who don't have much space. If you are used to the things that twist and fold for storage; all of these pieces fold up in a similar way. It's super easy to set this up and take it down. My son loves it and when we are done playing it all folds up to a nice small size for storage. You can use it indoors or outdoors. The only hazard we are finding about having it ...             Magna-Tiles Translucent Colors 100 pieces31 reviews Valtech Company Valtech Company LOVE THEM (AND CHILD DOES TOO) I got these for my 4 yr old girl's birthday. I knew *I* would like them; I always like building things. I hesitated, though, because they are supposed to be for daughter not me, and because they are super-expensive, and my daughter usually has only moderate interest in construction-type toys, like lego and bricks; I am usually more interested in building than she is. But these tiles are ...             Automoblox Mini Series 3 pack S9 T9 C95 reviews Automoblox Automoblox TOP QUALITY AND OH SO FUN!!! My three year old son and I had been "window shopping" these products online for a few months before his birthday. We gave him several full size and several minis so he could change the parts around. And oh has he! These cars are solid blocks of wood. The plastic seems durable as nothing has been scratched yet. We have rolled them into the island a few times but have decided not to ...             Fisher-Price Musical Tea Set147 reviews Fisher Price Fisher Price, 2006 for older toddlers I bought this for my granddaughter for her first birthday, knowing she was a bit young for it, but wanting to get her first tea set. She isn't ready to pour for her dollies or stuffed animals, but she enjoys the sounds from the teapot and pretending to drink from the cups. The little cups and saucers are just the right size for little hands, and the spoons are sturdy enough and the edges are ...             Indiana Jones Backpack - Black Global Design Global Design             My Design Music Player Fisher Price Fisher Price, 2008             Hannah Montana Backpack with Lunch Bag - Purple Global Design Global Design             Deluxe Mini Play Cube by Anatex15 reviews Anatex Anatex, 2006 Perfect for my daughter My daughter is 13 months old and she just can't stop playing with this thing. When we first received it, she played with it for 2.5 hours straight. It was time for her nap, but she wouldn't fall asleep. She kept wanting to play with it. She even started to fall asleep while she was playing with it. Finally, my wife had to pick her up and take her into the bedroom to nap. She really likes ...             Melissa & Doug Playful Pets Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle4 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug durable, fun, good price My 2-1/2 yr old son enjoys puzzles,so this was a good first "jig sawy" type one to step up to. No photo underneath, but there's one on the back for parents to refer to. I am not sure if he's memorized where everything goes or if he's actually looking at the picture & matching stuff up. All the same, he loves this one as well as the 24 piece versions we're just starting him on. THe puzzles are ...             SpongeBob SquarePants Backpack with Lunch Bag - Blue Global Design Global Design             Sanford(R) EXPO(R) Dry-Erase Organizer, 6 markers2 reviews Sanford Corporation Sanford Corporation Convenient, cheap. The markers are dark and clearly visible, while the eraser is fairly thorough. The box comes with a plastic-molded container (as you see in the picture), with double-sided tape for easy, stable, mounting on a wall beside the whiteboard. For the low price, this is unbeatable.             Melissa & Doug 6 Color Stamp Pad3 reviews Melissa & Doug Melissa & Doug Very Nice! I bought this stamp pad for my 3-year-old to go along with a "Melissa & Doug" stamp set. This stamp pad is really nice. It's very big (bigger than I expected) and the colors are really bright. It's easy for little hands to use because of it's size and the ink is washable, so it's easy to wash off hands and wash off of counters/clothing.             Crayola Sidewalk Chalk 52ct. Bucket Crayon Shape7 reviews Crayola Crayola, 2007 A fun time was had by all Chalk drawings are so much fun, you don't need paper, you do it outside, and if you don't like your drawing you can wash it away. This is good for any age and the colors are great.             Creations By You PlateWorks Design Your Own Plate11 reviews Creations by You Creations by You, 2006 Becoming a much loved annual tradition!! This is our third year having the children's artwork turned into plates. We have not had any problems with the creation of the plates from this company. The first year we used the Make-it plates and some of the children's artwork was cut off, probably due to the kids coloring over the 1/2 inch boundary (not a problem with this kit). We have also used the kits with special markers where the ...             WALL-E Backpack - Dark Blue and Black for Back to School Globad design Concept Globad design Concept Wall E             WALL-E Backpack - Dark Blue and Black for Back to School Globad design Concept Globad design Concept Wall E              search for toys and games automoblox, backpack, companion, crayola, creations, deluxe, design, dry-erase, fisher-price, hannah, indiana, magna-tiles, markers, melissa, montana, musical, organizer, pattern, plateworks, play-doh, playful, playhut, sanford, school, series, sidewalk, spongebob, squarepants, translucent, wall-e toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
