Pop Lock and Drop It: Anyone Else Remember These Snap Lock Beads? My Kids Love Them!

November 3, 2016 9:45 AM

Brand: Fisher Price Product: Snap Lock Beads

Here's another example of how sometimes, the most basic of toys are sometimes the best. Fisher Price has a line of toys called Brilliant Basics, some of which have been around seemingly forever, that are just simple toys - no lights, no sound, etc. While we love toys with lights and sound, we also love toys that are quiet and simple.

Dish It Out: Review of Melissa & Doug's Let's Play House Pretend Dishes Toy

October 24, 2016 9:17 PM

Brand: Melissa & Doug Product: Let's Play House Dishes

I sometimes try to buy toys that imitate real life. We aren’t trying to be or do Montessori or anything, but Froot Loop enjoys toys that sort of imitate life. I bought him these so he can have his own set of play dishes to use and wash.

October 12, 2016 5:03 PM

Brand: Learning Resources Product: Super Sorting Pie

Froot Loop loves math, including patterns, counting, and sorting. For Christmas, we wanted to get him a fun, educational, mathematics toy. I waited until I found this on sale, and then I snatched it up! It’s been one of his favorite things to play with, and he doesn’t even know he’s learning!

Our House is a Very Very Very Fine House: Double Review of Lego Duplo's My First Playhouse & Toddler Boat Building Sets

September 14, 2016 10:18 PM

Brand: Duplo Product: First Playhouse/Toddler Boat

Both of the boys absolutely LOVE Duplo blocks. I tried for a long time to keep all the different sets separate, since that is how I played with them as a kid; however, I got overruled by my loving husband, who would build them once and then dump them all together!

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man: Review of Fisher Price Musical Educational Tambourine Toy for Babies

September 5, 2016 10:30 PM

Brand: Fisher Price Product: Shake N Beats Tambourine

Making music is a very important skill for babies to develop. This Fisher Price tambourine is a good way to get started. No, it is not a real tambourine, but yes, it does make noise when it is shaken.

When Froot Loop could walk around and make his own decisions, we ran into a problem where he wanted a specific toy but couldn’t find it because it was stuck in the bottom of a toybox.
