• Music on the Half Shell

• Rescue Pets Let Kids be Heroes and/or Pet Owners

  Does your child have pet wishes unanswered?  It happens.  Now is your chance to set things right.  Kind of. Rescue Pets allow children to adopt a plush pet and register them online.  They also allow children to go above and beyond the typical role of pet owner and venture into the world of veterinary science.  It's educational! Warning - the animals actually whimper and whine and it's only sweet for about 20 seconds.  Still, they're awfully cute when they're quite.

• Meerkat Plush

  For reasons I'll never understand, my daughter is obsessed with the show MeerKat Manor.  In fact, she's obsessed with Meerkats in general, which to me is quasi-creepy, because, hello, Meerkats?  But if you also have a Meerkat loving little one, they might like the Meerkat plush.

• Classic Wooden Toys Collapse and Spring Back To Life

  You know what they say, "What's old is new again." I'm not that old, but when I was a kid I used to be fascinated with these types of little wooden toys - the kind that seem to collapse when you push the bottom but then spring to life again when you let go. Now you can get a few of them for your kids too - and at a price that won't break the bank. Read More...

• The Babble Review: Put Cheekeyes Under Your Tree

  My grandfather had a wood shop and every Christmas there were golf tee puzzles under the tree; and once a stunning doll house that would go for thousands at Neiman Marcus today. When I got a load of The Cheekeyes I cursed myself for unloading grandpa’s toys at garage sales and then promptly coveted all six animal sets for my daughter. Elizabeth talked about these wooden wonders before   Read More...
