Reviewing Toys That Help Your Children Grow
Everywhere I bring this MegaBloks Play N Go Table, there isn’t a child who doesn’t love it and a parent who doesn’t ask where did you find that! We brought this toy with us on our 12 hour trip up north on our family vacation to Toronto, it goes with my son to his grandparents [...]
I recently heard about a great FREE event, the Ultimate Block Party, sponsored in part by LEGO that will take place Sunday October 3rd, in Central Park at the Naumberg Bandshell in New York City! The event will take place from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m and through multiple sponsors, a variety of stations, games [...]
Now that Gavin is crawling on hands and knees at lightning speed, there were several toys that were instrumental in encouraging him to creep forward. Even better, they all retail for less than $6! One of his favorites was the Sassy Pop n’ Push Car seen in the pictures above! When you pull the car [...]
So I have had this awesome truck, the Cat 3 in 1 Dump Truck by Megabrands, in the cue for review. I’m constantly on the look out for push toys for the pre-walking age and saw this six months ago, counting down the days where I could put Gavin behind the wheel to take it [...]
Thank you Fisher-Price for making the Bounce N Spin Froggy! This is a combination device, it spins like an exersaucer that has many fine motor activities but it also allows the child to bounce up and down like a jumperoo. However, biggest selling point, it takes up HALF the space of a traditional exersaucer! Even [...]
Picking my first toy for review from Constructive Playthings was a challenge. As my experience is mainly with children with special needs, I also have an 8 month old. Those of you who know me well enough know that I like to use toys many ways with different age groups and abilities, so I chose [...]
So if you are looking for family games to play with your kids over the summer during the nice outdoor weather (or even inside in the rain), than you’ll need to get Boochie from Gamewright! To me it’s a modern, kid approved spin on the traditional game of bocce ball. The orange Boochie ball is thrown [...]

Being a full time working mom who happens to specialize in feeding therapy, I only have a few hours of the day to spend with Gavin, one of which is typically dinner. This post highlights one of my most treasured products for our mealtimes, the SVAN High Chair. When considering purchasing a high chair or [...]
If you are looking for an activity gym for your infant that doesn’t take up your whole living room and promotes baby’s developmental skills without breaking the bank ($35.00), the Sassy Stim Gym is fabulous! This gym is easy to put together in seconds, comes with three adorable detachable bugs, a tummy time bolster and [...]
The Zippity by Leap Frog is a plug and play, video game style learning system for children ages 3-5. Children learn to follow directions while they simultaneously develop coordination and strength by jumping and dancing with their favorite characters including Mickey Mouse, Pooh Bear, Handy Manny and the Little Einsteins. When a game begins, the [...]

With the holidays fast approaching and in the spirit of gift giving, I’ve created a list of my 12 favorite educational toys. Toys were chosen based on their ability to combine fun, and developmental value over time. Most of these toys have multiple uses and can be used with a variety of different age groups! [...]
