Sassy Car Wash Bath Toy

by
This Sassy Car Wash Bath Toy was a hit in our house with both girls and boys. The cars can squirt and pour and the track floats in the water.  You can squirt the cars as they go by with the spout.  The whole toy hangs up to dry and the cars fit inside the net to keep the bathtub tidy.  This is for 9 months and up.

A Must for New Moms and Dads: Dunstan Baby Language DVD

by
Dunstan Baby Language -- Learn the universal language of newborn babies


I did not have the opportunity to see The Dunstan Baby Language DVD until shortly before my youngest was born.  I really wish it had been available for the previous 5 kids!  It especially would have helped for the fussier ones.  It really is genius!  The DVD describes to you how to tell what the sounds of your baby’s cry mean.  Are they hungry, sleepy, need to be burped, have gas, or uncomfortable?  The examples and real cries on the DVD are helpful in learning what to listen for.  I really do believe that this eliminated a lot of frustration and crying with my youngest as an infant.  I would highly recommend this to new moms and dads as well as seasoned ones.  The faster you figure out what your baby is “saying” the happier you and he/she will be.

Mouse Paint Book

by
Mouse Paint


Mouse Paint may possibly be my favorite little kids book.  My 4th daughter and I have read this together probably over 100 times.  She actually memorized it by the time she was 3 and would “read” it to me.  It is a really cute story about mice who are trying to avoid a cat and their adventure with colors and what the colors become when they are mixed with other colors.  It is educational and entertaining at the same time.  You can’t go wrong with this book or the other titles from Ellen Stoll Walsh.

Playskool Busy Ball Popper

by

 

Playskool Explore and Grow Busy Ball Popper The Playskool Busy Ball Popper is a Toy that my daughter received for her first birthday.This ball popper occupied my daughter for much longer than I expected her to sit still.  The balls go around the tubes and then pop up into the air.  She would laugh every time one popped up and and then would run to get the balls to put back into the machine.  My daughter has had this for about a year now and still plays with it often.  Music plays while the balls are popping up. The recommended ages for this are 9 months to 3 years.  It comes in bright colors (for boys or girls) and also comes in pink.
