Since we have been incorporating more app reviews into the website, I have recently been using the ABC Song Piano app on my iPhone and iPad with my son and other young children as part of my home based visits. The ABC Song Piano app by Kiboomu.com sweetly sings the traditional ABC’s with an integrated [...]
At Toy Fair 2011 in New York City at the Jacob Javitts Center a few weeks ago, there were many products making their debut! There I was finally able to meet in person, the creators behind Poofin! You might be wondering what a Poofin is, but it’s a soft, plush, star shaped pillow. It has a [...]
So we purchase these uber expensive devices and sometimes without hesitation we hand them over to our children for their enjoyment. I have seen the fear on other parent’s faces when I let the children I work with play my iPhone during therapy sessions, they know the unpredicitability of their children and even though I’d never give [...]
Since it’s school vacation time here in Massachusetts, it means that Disney on Ice Toy Story 3 is in town! We were part of a lucky bunch of bloggers who got to celebrate the opening of Toy Story 3 in Boston, MA at the TD Garden! After dinner, brief character meet and greet and some [...]
Most of my son’s first year is quite foggy these days, but there are a few things I clearly remember in his early existence. I seriously struggled with the idea of whether to breastfeed or not throughout my entire pregnancy. So the morning I delivered Gavin and we brought him to the nursery, the nurse on [...]
Today I had one of the most memorable experiences of my life attending the Hasbro Showroom for Toy Fair 2011. This was one of those days where I felt like Oprah, having an “Ah-Ha” moment as I sat in the audience of the Times Center. This year, Hasbro has partnered with Sesame Street to launch a [...]
Hello Moon Dough lovers! I just received Spinmaster’s latest addition to the Moon Dough family,the Moon Dough Magic Zoo! I reviewed the Moon Dough Barn Yard a few months ago and leave it to Spinmaster to use their innovation to develop yet another fun, interactive playset! In the Moon Dough Magic Zoo, children fill either a [...]

Disney’s Toy Story 3 on Ice will be at the TD Garden in Boston and we have been given a special code for you to purchase discounted tickets for [...]
From the moment you start feeding your child puree’s and as they advance to eating more finger foods, child sized bowls, plates, spoons, forks, and cups begin to dominate the kitchen. There are some of the latest feeding products by Sassy that have been helpful in our daily mealtime routines. Not to mention, they are [...]
A few months ago for Christmas, Gavin got his introduction to Sesame Street with an adorable little plastic Elmo carrying case that includes Sesame Street themed doctor’s items. Gavin goes to daycare during the day and we are never home to watch Sesame Street at its consistent time on our local PBS station. Not to [...]
Do you have a toy or game that seriously saves your life? There is nothing more than I hate to do as a parent to have Gavin watching too much television, but this DVD only 35 minutes in length, has been worth it’s weight in gold at our house, and let’s face it, sometimes you [...]
I can’t believe it has been several months since I brought a review to you by Constructive Playthings! This month we have been reviewing the Arts and Crafts Case suitable for children ages 4 and up. The Arts and Crafts Case is a box with 20 compartments or transparent drawers. Inside each compartment are different non-toxic [...]
Since Valentine’s Day is around the corner, I’ve been struggling with the idea of whether this is a gift giving holiday or not. It seems that no matter what as parents we decide, there will be friends and family members in our lives that turn these little holidays into these types of gift giving events. [...]
What better way to teach kids the concept of stop and go or what to do when crossing the street either by foot or bicycle at a traffic intersection, than to use the game Red Light, Green Light by International Playthings. It’s a tabletop spin on and old, but effective playground game. Based on commands [...]
These snowy days in Boston have been filled with researching and planning our Toy Fair 2011 plan in New York City, starting February 12th through the 16th, 2011. Last year attending Toy Fair for the first time was such an exciting and overwhelming experience, as we were honored amongst the first to preview some of [...]
