They see me Fillin', They Spillin': These Fill & Spill toys are SO MUCH FUN for my boys.

It's no secret that we love Melissa and Doug in this family. One of the toys that my boys have sort of re-discovered recently are their Fill and Spill toys, which basically, are a clear container that holds a myriad of small plush toys that all relate to each other. 

The premise is really simple: Baby/Todder/Child/Bored Mama puts all of the little toys into the container... 

...then dumps them out! 

Get it? Fill it, and spill it! 

Of course, you can always play with the toys as well. 

There's usually something a little special about some of the toys, like for instance, the drill vibrates. The bugs have jingles in them. The sandwich crinkles, etc. 

And we all love how the outside of the container is made with a clear plastic so we can all see what's in it. 

The first one I found was a Tool Box. Froot Loop got this for his first Christmas from Honey Graham's Nana. It has a hammer, screwdriver, saw, nails, screws and blocks, AND a drill that vibrates, in a plastic and plush toolbox. It's adorable. The boys still play with it pretty often. 

Next is a picnic basket, which has a watermelon, a bottled fruit drink, a take-apart sandwich and an ice-cream cone in a plastic and plush picnic basket. 
 
There's also a pink purse that can hold a mobile phone that chimes, key ring with four removable keys, coin purse with four countable coins and a compact with child-safe mirror inside a plastic and plush purse. 

The Bug Jug was another present for a young Froot Loop. This one is his favorite, because right now he is into bugs. It has a spider, butterfly, ladybug and grasshopper and a plastic and plush bug jar.

I am loving this aquarium. That octopus is just ADORABLE! It has a fish, a sea horse, an octopus and a sea star in a plastic and plush fishbowl. 

Finally, there's a really cute Gym Bag which contains a soccer ball, baseball, football and basketball in a plastic and plush gym bag.

Which of these is your favorite?
