Some of my favorite toys when I was a kid were the ones I could build things with, and the bigger the better. Offi has a great little system for your little builder, the YooDo. In all honesty, you could probably make your own YooDo kit if you had access to a refrigerator box, but [...]

There are a lot of new things going on over at Nurseryworks this week. They have a completely redesigned web site, as well as a few new pieces of furniture. The new pieces are what I like to call Lux Modern, a mix of clean modern lines and colors with more traditional “luxury” [...]

I’ve always been a big fan of melamine plates. They are super durable which is nice if you have kids, and they are a nice medium to print graphics on. I stumbled across these Thomas Paul sea life plates, and I am loving them. It looks like I’m not the only one [...]

I have to admit that if you are looking for a affordable modern kids chair and table, Ikea can’t be beaten. If you just don’t like Ikea, or are looking for something a little different make sure you check out the Alma chair and Linus table. Not nearly as affordable at $56 a [...]

The Jerry Lamp could very well be the ideal lamp for a kids room. It’s made of nontoxic hypoallergenic silicone that is unbreakable and never gets hot to the touch. That means it can stand up to the abuse of a toddler, and get knocked off a table without causing any tears. The Jerry [...]

I was skimming through some products this morning when [...]

Our little guy is quickly coming up on one year old, and with a growing mouth full of teeth, he loves to eat. Up until about two months ago, we didn’t have a highchair which made feeding time not so easy. Arrington now takes his meals in a Boon Flair Elite, and [...]

My love for Balsa airplanes goes back a long time. When I was a kid, every time my Grandfather was in town he would take me down to the toy store to buy one. The best ones were the ones that were self powered via a rubberband. They proved to be cheap [...]

It’s been fun watching Avalisa’s offerings grow. She started out with a couple of nice prints and now has expanded to offer cards, rugs, and her latest, memory games. Memory is one of those classic games that is entertaining for any age group. These 3 x 4 cards feature all the great [...]

I have a thing for wooden baby toys. Maybe its because I grew up with them, or maybe I just like how simple they are, either way I’d take a wooden toy over a plastic one any day. It’s hard enough to find good wooden toys, but it’s even more hard to find ones that [...]
