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.

Tickle Fest with Tickle Monster

by
Tickle Monster
While I am on the topic of books that bring about laughs I though of how big a hit the book Tickle Monster is in our home.  This book is super cute!  It is basically a guided tickle fest with your kids. My younger kids (23 months, 5, & 6) absolutely love it!  This is their most requested book right now and reading it through once in a sitting is not usually enough.  This book is so creatively written. It is sure to be a big hit for you too.
P.S. For an even funnier time with the book, get the mitts that go with it.  They are cute and add to the experience.

Finger Puppet Books Make for Good Laughs

by
Little Ladybug: Finger Puppet Book (Finger Puppet Brd Bks)


I saw this cute book one day while I was on vacation and my 10 month old (at the time) who was with me just giggled with delight when I showed it to her.  It is the Little Ladybug: Finger Puppet Book.  The fact that the ladybug moved seemed to thrill her and tickle her funny bone all at once.  Now that she is almost 2 she still laughs every time I read the book to her and wiggle the ladybug. Even my 5 and 6 year olds enjoy this book.  I have found that there are other versions of this book such as Little Duck, Little Puppy, Little Bunny, Little Lion, Little Mouse, and several more.  They are all just as cute as the ladybug version.

Constructive Eating Utensil Set: Permission To Play With Your Food

by

Constructive Eating ConstructionChildrens Plate for use with Constructive Eating Utensils

Do you know any little boy who wouldn’t love to play with his food with a bulldozer, fork lift and front loader?  This Constructive Eating Utensil Set gives them permission to do just that.  They come together as a set of 3 or individually as a bull dozer pusher, a fork lift fork and a front loader spoon.  My son received these as a gift when he was 3 and has used them for just about every meal since (he is now 5).  In fact there have even been some tears shed when they were still getting cleaned in the dishwasher. We just recently discovered that the company has a plate out that goes with the utensils.  We haven’t used it yet but it looks as if it would be a lot of fun.  It is a divided plate with a ramp and a place for the utensils to sit. Oh , and all of these products are PVC, phthalate, and BPA free.
