My two boys love to take things apart and put them together. They love to create/invent new things too. Unfortunately most toys that allow for this type of thing are plastic...it is just easier to make interchangeable parts in plastic than in wood. Automoblox is a fairly new toy that I think gives us the best of both worlds. They have made a line of wooden automobiles that have plastic attachments.

They do the job they are intended to do and they … [Read more...]
Christopher Pop-In-Kins
I recently discovered a CUTE new toy for the holiday season...only this toy isn't so much a gift but a fun new holiday tradition. It is the Christopher Pop-In-Kins doll and book. As we read in the adorable book that comes with this doll, Christopher is one of Santa's little elves and even though he loves making toys for boys and girls he desperately wants to visit the children in their homes the way Santa does. So he has a talk with Santa and it is decided that Christopher can play a game with … [Read more...]
