Alex Toys Knot-A-Quilt

My teenage neices LOVED it, even tho it seemed a toy for a much younger audience. It was quite beautiful and I considered ordering some for myself. I did have to order two for it to be big enough.

Crayola Beginnings Baby 20ct Jumbles

We purchased these for our 6 month old son for Christmas. He likes them so far, mostly to chew on, but that's what 6 month old babies do.

The bigger hit- every single adult who touches them, and our 3 year old. She makes all sorts of shapes and animals and towers and other creations. I don't have to worry when she leaves them on the floor (unlike 95% of the other toys she likes) because they are all but indestructible and do not have sharp points when you step on them! She likes to name the colors of each piece and line them up in different orders too. They have seen so much more use than we ever expected. I've always got a couple in my diaper bag now.

We couldn't stop stacking and building on Christmas morning- so were the grandparents! These are almost addictive enough to be a "desk toy" at work. They are just a little too big to fit in my drawer.

This package had enough jumbles for everyone to have a few to play with and they are in a wide variety of bright colors. I am so glad we got these and I am looking forward to many years of use with the kids.

Glow Crazy Distance Doodler

This is awesome. It really works. My son can lay in his bed and draw on the wall from accross the room. And he loved to make a "mural" with the little stencil pads that came with it. We hung one pad at the head of his bed, and one accross the room so he could draw from a distance. I was pleasently surprised at how well this worked.

Step2 Flip and Doodle Easel Desk with Stool

My 2 year old son loves this desk. He pulls up the little stool and colors on the desk or flips up the easel and places his magnets all over. The desk is great and I would recommend it for all toddlers.

Fisher Price Kid Tough Travel Doodle Pro with Light

We have four boys and they all like to draw on doodle pads and we have gone through four of them but this one has lasted for a whole year and is still in good shape even though it belongs to a just three year old active boy! It is awesome for trips because if he is awake in the car he can entertain himself and is not bugging anybody else. the batteries last pretty long too and are screwed in instead of a pop out cover so banging it around is not an issue.

Barbie Make-Up Artist

My 3 girls ages 4-8 loved playing with this set and we loved it so much that I came online to buy it for a gift for another little girl. I was surprised to see it did not have rave reviews! We all enjoyed this set! I did one too with my girls and we all had a blast with it. We easily popped out all the metal makup discs from the plastic so we could share them on the table between us and then put them back into the package when we were done to store it for next time. Maybe if you push on them while they are in the plastic you may have the problems that were mentioned in the other review?? It wasn't an issue for us as they are easy to remove and replace when you are done. There are really a lot of blank faces to work with and the jewlery stickers were also fun. It sparked a lot of creativity, with them highlighting the hair, using different skin tones and drawing their own jewelry and accessories, it was great fun. They like that you put on the makeup "just like the real thing". Great set for one or a group and would be fun for a wide variety of ages. It would be easily to use your own crayons or old eyeshadows/etc on them as well for a larger group.

Crayola Crayon Maker with Story Studio

If your child likes to color, then your child will LOVE the Crayola Crayon Maker! It's a little tricky to use at first, but it's so fun. Basically, it allows you to take old, broken crayon bits (and what kid doesn't have a ton of those laying around?!) and turn them into new crayons. It's a fun process for kids, it works really well (the only thing you need to add is a light bulb), and it also teaches a sustainability lesson about recycling and reusing. This is definitely a toy that I recommend.
