    Hottest Dinosaur Toys to Give as Gifts This Year

    November 4, 2020 /

    It’s no secret that the holidays are right around the corner. My kids have always been fascinated by dinosaurs and dinosaur toys always made impressive gifts for them every year. Just a Few Great Dinosaur Toys Jurassic Park was just the latest of the series of movies to get my youngest daughter reinvested in dinosaurs. She currently has dozens of dinosaur books, mostly from DK Canada. But, this season she’s asking for both Jurassic Park and Harry Potter themed Lego or books. That means dinosaurs are high priority again. A few of these are super young for little people but these Lego kits and robotics are also rewarding for older grade…

    Best Educational Fun Steam Toys To Give Right Now

    September 4, 2020 /

    STEAM toys are toys related to the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. As technology advances rapidly, knowledge of related topics will become more and more important. Most parents and professionals already know that. I received product in the form of Steam toys for consideration here. Post may contain affiliate links. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful. But did you also know that learning about STEAM can enhance experiences in other fields; it’s not just about academic subjects, but rather advancing skills like creativity and logical thinking that apply to countless future careers. So What’s Trending in Stem and Steam Toys Right Now?  Here…

    Top 13 Sensory Toys for Kids with Sensory Processing Disorder

    January 14, 2020 /

    This sensory toys post contains affiliate links as a service to readers. Purchases made via qualifying links mean a small commission for me. What do you give to kids who are anxious about a lot of things, whose brains seem to amplify sensations and noises? Good sensory toys can help them function and manage sensory input. My daughter has sensory processing disorder. I have written about that here a few times. Years ago I wrote about our journey to get a sensory processing disorder diagnosis for Today’s Parent magazine. These recommendations are based on what we have found that works. Sensory processing disorder is a condition that interferes with how…

    Adorable Burrito Surprise Toys for Children

    I received product for consideration in the gift guide this year. Post may contain affiliate links. Have you heard of CuteTitos? Or Babitos yet? You will. These CuteTitos and Babitos are currently wrapped and under my tree for my niece. She’s too little to read this content, so there’s no chance that she will find out.

    Make Coding Fun with Botzees Now

    December 13, 2019 /

    Make coding fun with a toy that combines building and lots of entertaining puzzles alongside simple to understand coding. Botzees is a toy that combines all these elements into one experience that helps to make coding fun for kids. I received product for consideration here. I love that because as any long-time reader knows, I’m a huge supporter of STEM and figuring out ways to introduce it to our kids at an early age. That’s why I’m so excited about Botzees and how they approach coding. Technology is moving so fast these days. A few years ago, apps were an amazing new development. It seemed like we were in the…

    My Christmas Wish List Activity for Kids

    My Christmas Wish List. If there was a single phrase that could evoke childhood and the spirit of Christmas long ago for me, then I think it would be My Christmas Wish List. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers. I receive a small commission via qualifying links. Do you remember being small, poring over catalogues or flyers that arrived in the mail, circling items you dreamed of owning? For me, as a child, it was always dolls and Barbies. Meanwhile my brother lived for the latest race cars and trucks and puzzles. I have a daughter like that who asks for a puzzle every single year…

    Inspiring Imagination with Zing

    November 24, 2019 /

    I received Zing toys for consideration here. My opinion is all my own. Inspiring imagination is what play should be all about. When kids play, either indoors with a game or construction set or outdoors with their friends, their imaginations are what make it so much fun. In my opinion, the best gifts are the gifts that work towards inspiring imagination in our kids. Inspiring Imagination Indoors and Out Remember when you were a kid? Every game was so much bigger than what was really happening. Tag was a battle for survival. Hide and seek was a stealth opp. Those were the times when we had the most fun, and…

    Harry Potter Tech Gifts for Teens and Adults

    November 4, 2019 /

    My kids and my entire family are Harry Potter crazy. We started watching all of the movies together several years ago and have, in fact, seen them DOZENS of times. We never get tired of Harry, Ginny, Ron or Hermione. The stories are timeless in my opinion. Odds are good that someone in my house will get a Harry Potter gift this season. And, of course, there’s also a strong likelihood that cover the holiday break when we take a break from skiing we will probably find a moment or two to replay the entire movie marathon. That can make for a great staycation actually. Harry Potter Tech Gifts The…

    Did you know that the Frozen sequel is due out any time now! My kids have long since aged out of this phase, but to be honest at least two of us will be watching the new movie together. Age is relative, right? I happen to love Anna and Elsa and Olaf too of course, so I can’t wait. This season, as we get closer and closer to the holidays I wanted to share a few of my favourite Frozen gift ideas.  Hunting for the most perfect Frozen gift ideas ever? Look no further.
