Reviewing Toys That Help Your Children Grow
The Moon Sand Construction Crane comes in an orange, plastic storage case. Inside there is a backhoe with a wrecking ball, and a few molds that will allow your children to create their own construction zone with brick walls and tiles. There are two packages of Moon Sand inside (gray and white), and your child [...]
If you are looking for a flashlight for your child this Halloween season that is kid friendly, easy to operate and environmentally friendly – you will love these Ecotronic Flashlights by International Playthings. All you do is repeatedly squeeze the side of this flashlight and it will light up for hours without the use of batteries! There’s [...]

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 [...]
During the month of September I plan to post reviews on products that are crucial to assist with your child’s safety. I know we all remember those first drives in the car with our new infants, people honking behind us as we drove way way below the speed limit. Being that I work in physical [...]
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 [...]
My review this month for Constructive Playthings is the Clay Center with Play-Doh. Since I am an occupational therapist, hand strengthening and fine motor coordination are my thing, so I couldn’t wait to review this as we gear up for “Back to School!” The Clay Center with Play-Doh comes with LOTS of items that include: [...]
I recently had the opportunity to review Ramses Pyramid with a 7 year old friend of mine. Ramses Pyramid is one variation of 10 new LEGO GAMES. In this game children construct a pyramid, complete with removable layers and hidden treasures. After they construct the pyramid, there is a dice that can be utilized which [...]
For months I have been in and out of Babies R Us, perusing the feeding aisle, looking for items for my feeding therapy work as an occupational therapist, as well as searching for cool and innovative products to use with my now 9 month old, Gavin. I’ve recently had the opportunity to review a few [...]
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 [...]
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reviewing PixOs, yet another fabulous arts and crafts type activity created by Spinmaster (designers of Aquadoodle, Moon Sand, Aquasand) where children create designs from a template using small colored beads that are brought to life with the spray of WATER! As an OT we have spent many a [...]
It’s been a few months since Toy Fair and for as quickly as it came and went, on this nice spring day I was thinking about the whirlwind that it was, as we searched for all sorts of new toys and gadgets that our children will love and learn from. While most people searched the [...]
From the moment I opened the Sassy Illumination Station, I personally couldn’t wait to give it a whirl and twirl! It’s so visually appealing with many colors, has many textures to touch and makes a cool rattle noise when it’s spun that Gavin my three month old was immediately interested. It’s very easy to activate [...]
A few weeks ago, I learned I had been one of 5 bloggers chosen to attend the Mega Bloks Rocks Mommy Blogger Event! On Tuesday, as we boarded the Air Canada flight from Boston, Montreal bound for Mega Bloks, the excitement was “building” thinking of what the factory itself would look like, as well as [...]
