• Water Toys from Haba

  This bucket made by Haba has a clear bottom so you can fill it up with sand, shells, and water and create your own under water world. The funny things next to the bucket are sponges and I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with them but I'm sure they're a lot of fun. What do kids do with sponges? Probably throw them at each other.   Read More... Posted Jul 24 2008, 04:13 PM by elizabeth leach with | with no comments Filed under: summer, beach, outdoor, oompa, sponges, bucket, Haba water toys

• Beachy T for Your Little One

  Normally I don't go for the cutesy baby gear with tongue-in-cheek sayings, like the above T-shirt, but something about my trip to Cape Cod this week is winning me over Read More...

• Critter Spiller

  Underwater scuba diver, got it. Giant bag of pool toys, got them too. But what my son likes the most is to simply pour, strain, scoop, (and sometimes taste test) water. If you can’t hack sharing your pasta strainer, ladles and measuring cups, check out this critter. Read More...

• 7 Days of Water Games: Little Tikes Ultimate Beach Ball Sprinkler

  It’s a ball. No, it’s a sprinkler. Actually, it’s both! The Little Tykes Ultimate Beach Ball Sprinkler is a big ol’ beach ball that hooks up to a hose to spray down anyone who dares touch it.

• 7 Days of Beach Bests: Speedo Swim Socks

  Even though I'm a good four hours away from the closest ocean, the family and I do try to get to the beach at least once a summer. It's really a perfect place to bring the kids, but the sand can get hot, and what do you do about bringing a toddler who is just learning to walk to the beach? If shoes are still out of the question, I suggest swim socks. Read More...

• 7 Days of Beach Bests: Dive Mask Goes Digital

  I have a love/hate relationship with my digital camera. Love it because I can capture every Kodak moment. Hate it because, well, I have to download, save, organize, print and store roughly 3,000 Kodak moments a year. But in the end I guess archiving family memories is worth it. And just when I thought I was caught up on the latest digital developments, here’s a new one that’s just in time for lazy days at the beach. Read More...

• 7 Days of Summerwear: Crocs

  After thinking long and hard about what to write about for "7 Days of Summerwear," I kept coming back to one thing: Crocs. Sure, it's obvious. Sure, lots of people love them and lots of people hate them. And sure, they're everywhere. But the thing about Crocs is, they're good with socks or without, easy for a toddler to put on themselves, and are fairly durable. From my perspective, all that equals perfect summerwear.

• 7 Days of Summerwear: Mary Janes for the Beach … and They’re on Sale

  Now that the weather is heating up it’s time to get wet and wild. Since my son was barely walking last summer, this is the first season of sprinkler running, beach combing and hose mucking. After completely soaking his sneakers while “helping” Daddy water the shrubs, I’ve decided water shoes are the way to go. If only he was a girl, I’d get him these adorable Mary Janes. Read More...

• Every Day’s a Beach with Green Toys Sand Play Set

  With Memorial Day coming up, my thoughts drift to the beach. Stumbling across this Green Toys Sand Play Set only increase the urge to hit the sand. The four-piece set includes the essentials: a bucket, a rake, a shovel and a sand-castle mold. To make the sun a little more enjoyable, the entire set is made from recycled milk jugs, which is a safe plastic free of phthaltes, BPA and lead. Now all I need is the sunblock. Available at Wild Dill for $20. Posted May 23 2008, 10:04 AM by Heather Kuldell with | with no comments Filed under: outdoor toys, Toys, beach, green, bpa-free, lead, plastics, phthaltes

• 7 Days of Diapers: iPlay Ultimate Swim Diaper

  At the place where I bring my kids for swimming lessons, they only accept one kid of swim diaper, and it isn't made by Huggies. The Ultimate Swim Diaper from iPlay is cute, soft and most importantly keeps the poop out of the pool. Read More...

  It's never too early to start planning that summer beach vacation (yes, I am an overplanner, and we secured our rental months ago). And this brightly colored beach towel is setting my sights Juneward. Read More... Posted Mar 19 2008, 10:16 AM by Erin Behan with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Haba, beach, towels, littlejetset

• Drool On This: Towels For Your Little Mermaid

  They already drag their towels across the beach gathering up sand.  They might as well look cute while they are doing it. I can't imagine that any little girl would not want this towel.  Ties at the waist with a 60 inch "tail" Available in pink or green, $40 at Chasing Fireflies.  (Hat tip: Minding My Business)   Posted Jun 18 2007, 02:03 PM by chrisjordan with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: mermaid towel, beach
