Zoocchini

I'm so in love with Zoocchini products!  

Seriously , the animals are crazy soft and the towels are so fun and adorable.  

I don't like to have a lot of stuffed animals around, but these animals are just

too cute to not have around.  My kids adore their animals and towels.

 

Go wild for animal-centric goods for bathing, decorating, feeding, and play. 
Zootopia awaits in the form of barnyard, ocean, and safari critters. 

**Side note:  I don't know if you do this....but I totally associate my children with an animal.  
For example: 
I-man / lion
A-girl/ zebra
J-boy/ elephant
G-baby/ giraffe or monkey 
I don't know if this is because they actually like that animal...
or if it is because  I decided that they will like that animal? 

Tyke Rider

The Tyke Rider is a clever bike from Europe that looks like a sure thing for my kiddos!  When they're young, my kids never use the inconvenient pedals anyway.
This bike seems to promote good balance by forcing the kids to propel themselves with their feet. How practical and adorable!  I love the idea!  Maybe this should go on the "Santa list!"

**"Begin with Lite, a smaller model suitable for those 20 months and older, then graduate to the more robust Classic (ages 2 to 5) or Evolution (ages 3½ to 6) styles. When it comes time for an actual big kid’s bike, there’s no teary, knee-skinning transition."

Santa Ideas

I'm trying to find some fun, unique toys that my two littlest ones will like.  I have enough toys that make noise and music, so I want to find some toys that are good for their creativity without driving me looney!  Here are a couple of fun things I've found so far.  Any good ideas out there?  Santa always needs help!

Hape Toys

Aren't these darling Safari animals?! I think my boys will love them.

Kid-o Bilibo

Designed in Switzerland, this toy has won countless awards for design and play value. Its simplicity is deceptive and modeled after extensive study of children's play patterns. Bilibo is a completely open-ended toy that stimulates a child's imagination. It can be a helmet, sit and spin, doll cradle, train tunnel, shovel, water basin and much more! Let your imagination run wild!

Sassy Earth Brights Wooden Toys 

Scrambled States Game

I think that my 6 yr old would really like this educational game.

He is really into learning about animals and geography right now. He also loves drawing and writing books, so this next item might also be a good pick for him.

Wild Planet Hyper Dash

My kids love to play games, so Santa always brings them a couple of new games to add to our wee collection.  These two look like they could be fun.

Giraffalaff Limbo

Mind Blowing Science

Hop Scotch Mat

Microphone 

Stamp Set by Melissa and Doug.  I'm such a fan of their toys!

No Stress Chess game to teach kids how to play Chess... I think I could use this too! 

These are just a few things that Santa is looking at for our family.  Let the season begin!

J Boy's New Favorite Toy

My children love to play with all the fun toys at Pottery Barn Kids while I shop and look around. We end-up staying there for quite awhile because they are so entertained. Last time we were there, J Boy found a new favorite toy, and he is not easily attached to toys. For some reason, he just really loved these Sprig Vehicles and would NOT let it go! At the time, I didn't understand why he was so attached, but they really are pretty cool vehicles. Bonus, they are eco-friendly too!
These all-terrain vehicles are made of 100% recycled materials and feature playful, cartoon-like shapes that are irresistible to kids. Even better, they don’t require batteries. When kids roll and bounce the vehicles, it charges the power supply so that each vehicle lights up and produces sounds when the wheels turn. Plus, when the Adventure Guides are popped into the driver’s seats, their headlamps light up.
