Puzzle Ups

Puzzle Ups

How about this for a first puzzle, one that builds up, not flat on a table. There are two benefits to this design, 1) kids love it when things get taller, and 2) you can move it and use it for decoration instead of breaking it apart for space on the dining room table. Parents

Magic Dancing Teletubbies

Magic Dancing Teletubbies

If your child is a fan of the teletubbies television show then they will love these dancing dolls. The British import is still entrancing television’s youngest demographic with its unique style.

M.Gears Remote Control Racers

My Pirate Ship

My Pirate Ship

This pre-school toy ship absolutely delighted our young testers with its seemingly endless number of “hot spots” that kids can activate to hear great sound effects. The unit is exceptionally sturdy and colorful. The seafaring musical sounds are clear and full. There are extra pieces stored inside the ship that add to the level of

Zoo

Zoo

The magic of a trip to the zoo is undeniable as anyone who has accompanied a young child will attest.

Crane

Crane

Have your children gazed in awe at giant cranes and they manuever above contruction sites? If so that this toy is the perfect combination of building and action for them. This toy has two lives, the first is as a fun building toy where your child constructs a machine that rises to three feet and
