August 24, 2016 9:42 AM

Brand: Melissa & Doug Product: Stacking Construction Vehicles

One of Froot Loop’s favorite things to play with is his Melissa and Doug stacking construction vehicles. It combines his love of trucks, wheels, and puzzles! Plus, one of them is the color ORANGE, so we can’t go wrong!

August 17, 2016 7:38 PM

Pizza! Who doesn’t love pizza!? We eat it at least once a week here. It’s one of the few foods Froot Loop doesn’t complain about eating.

It's Magic, You Know. Never Believe It's Not So: Review of Munchkin's Mozart Magic Cube Musical Baby Toy

August 10, 2016 7:45 PM

Brand: Munchkin Product: Mozart Magic Cube

The Mozart Magic Cube really is magic! It’s a fantastic way to introduce babies and toddlers to music. We love this toy so much that when Froot Loop accidentally dropped it off a ledge and broke it, we immediately went out and bought a new one.

Review of Fisher Price Easy Stack n Sounds Blocks for Babies & Toddlers

August 3, 2016 8:55 PM

Brand: Fisher Price Product: Easy Stack 'n Sounds Blocks

Sometimes, the simplest toys are the most fun. This is a set of 3 oversized blocks that have a weighted ball inside. This weighted ball allows for easy stacking, much easier than trying to stack regular blocks or cups, etc.

Review of Melissa & Doug Wooden Pancake Pretend Play Toy Set

July 13, 2016 7:44 PM

Brand: Melissa & Doug Product: Pancake Set

Pancakes are one of our go to breakfasts here. Honey Graham makes them at least twice a week because they’re so easy to make and so versatile. Froot Loop saw this set in the store and he said he wanted it. He got it for Christmas and he still plays with it frequently.

Review of Step 2 Double-Sided Art and Drawing/Painting Easel for Kids

July 11, 2016 7:31 PM

Brand: Step 2 Product: All Around Double Sided Easel

An item that every home with kids should have is a double sided easel. We have one: It’s the Step 2 double sided easel. One side is a magnetic white board with a clip for holding paper. The other side is a chalk board. This double- sided feature is great because it can accommodate one or two kids at a time, whether they be siblings or friends or whatever. Now if we could only prevent them fighting over the whiteboard…

Review of Melissa & Doug See & Spell Game for Preschool

June 22, 2016 6:55 PM

Brand: Melissa & Doug Product: See and Spell

Right before he turned three last fall, Froot Loop really started getting interested in spelling and reading. I bought some letter construction sets (see post here). I also bought some spelling games such as Boggle Junior (see post here), Spill and Spell (I found a vintage version at a garage sale! - it’s this one!), and bananagrams (see post HERE).

Review of VTech Go Go! Smart Wheels & Animals Toys for Babies, Toddlers, & Preschoolers

June 20, 2016 7:36 PM

Brand: VTech Product: Go! Go! Smart Vehicles/Animals

I’ve found a new line of toys that both of my boys absolutely love, although Froot Loop doesn’t seem to understand that they are Cocoa Puff’s toys and he gets first dibs on them. Being a 3 year old sure is tough!
