Melissa and Doug Play Purse

Baby, Baby Toys, Toddler, Toddler Toys, Toys, , , , , ,

I adore Melissa and Doug products. The quality is amazing and the prices are totally reasonable. One of my favorite products that my little girl loves is the Pretty Purse Fill and Spill. This great plastic and cloth purse comes with a play cell phone, a key ring, change purse and a compact with a child safe mirror. These objects provide great opportunities for imaginary play!

The great thing about this toy is also how long it has entertained my little one. She received this as a gift when she was 1 and at almost 2 she still plays with it all the time. I don’t see her losing interest in it anytime soon!

Do you have a small space but want a play kitchen for your little one?

Check out this adorable mini kitchen by Step 2.  The perfect toy for a small space. This kitchen is also great for younger toddlers and babies because it is very low to the ground which allows it to be easily accessed by little ones.

We love Rody!!

What little kid wouldn’t love Rody! This inflatable rocking horse is a favorite among most children I know. Although it says for ages 3-5, we let our 2 year old play on it… with supervision of course!

Kids can also get creative with this one and use their imagination, maybe they can become a cowboy at a rodeo!

Not only do the kids love bouncing around on this silly looking horse they are working on their balance and coordination at the same time. It’s soft plastic yet super strong and durable. With so many colors to choose from everyone can pick one they will love.

Which color do you like best? I think I like the lime or the purple (might have to get both)

Sincerely,

Legos!

Toddler, Toys, , , ,

My husband loves Legos. Probably more then our child but we are working on it. We had those big pink Legos and those were great but we wanted to move to a smaller size and didn’t feel the need to only have pink/purple Legos in our house.

When searching online I found these great Lego Duplo Read & Build Sets. What I love about these sets is that they come with a book that you read as you build. The one we started with was the Grow Caterpillar Grow! story. As you read you get to build the different insects that are mentioned in the book. It really makes building with the Legos even more engaging!

Did you like building with Legos when you were little?

Toddler Tea Set

Baby, Toddler, Toys, , , ,

One of my 2 year olds favorite toys is this Fisher-Price Tea Set. This adorable set includes the teapot, two tea cups and the shape sorting tray that has three different shaped cakes. The teapot plays songs that help teach babies about numbers, shapes, opposites, manners and greetings.

We love having tea parties together and it’s fun to practice our shapes with the different cakes. Overall this product is well made and engaging for little ones. for $14.89 on Amazon it is well worth the money! We’ve already gotten hours of enjoyment out of this product and I know she will continue to enjoy it as she gets older! Also makes a great gift for all those baby birthday parties we have to go to!

Shopping cart fun! Little Tikes Shopping Cart

Toddler, Toys, ,

I haven’t met a toddler that doesn’t love pushing something around. What better to push around then an adorable shopping cart. This sturdy plastic shopping cart had a deep basket for all those important items your little chef needs from the grocery store and has a fold-down seat just like a real shopping cart for a favorite toy or baby doll!
