Handmade Open Wooden Doll House Review

Handmade Open Wooden Doll HouseI love this.bought it on amazon.com for my 3 year old daughter for eighty three flat and my daughter loves it.great waldorf toy.great imaginative toy.instead of being limited to a dollhouse, she can creatively imagine it to be whatever she wants (i.e. preschool, a house, etc.).hinges are good (doesn't pinch - it 'could' but it's made so that it's unlikely that it'll pinch) & the door is good too (no pinching).the wood is good quality.the 3 peices of wood can be almost straight in a line (instead of in a c-shape) and it will still stand up. great toy.I was going to handmake it but I didn't have the right tools & it would've been too much trouble to sand it (it comes very well sanded - no worries about splinters)

Large Rainbow Stacking Tower Review

Large Rainbow Stacking TowerThis product offers a better variety of sizes for the little one to put into order than the little plastic one for smaller children.It also covers all of the colors in the color spectrum with a few more greens and blues for light and dark comparison.
The only drawback is that my little one likes to try to put them on her fingers for rings and sometimes they get stuck.
Over all I am pleased with this product.

Lolly (Yellow) Review

LollyThis is one of my favorite Haba play foods. At 3.25" tall (I'd estimate the disk at the top to be about 1.5" diameter) the scale is perfect for a play kitchen, and as long as it's inspected often (sure the stick *could* break, as it is quite thin) it really doesn't pose any serious choking risk, unlike most Haba foods.

Also, they're just darned cute. The yellow with the heart is probably my favorite, but they're all lovely and make a wonderful set together. Both my kids are very fond of these.

Highly recommended.

Product Description:
Children can handle sweets responsibly too, and probably be willing to share it with their best bear friends. Lollies are the perfect size for little hands, as they are not life-sized. Each lolly sold separately. Made of hard wood with superior Haba workmanship and nontoxic finish.

Mouse Acrobat - Mini-Game Review

Mouse Acrobat - Mini-GameThis is a great little toy to stash in your purse or diaper bag. Whenever my 4 yr old boy gets bored waiting for food in a restaurant, or waiting for a doctor's appointment, I pull out this little game and he is delighted. You have to take turns placing a piece of cheese on top of the lid, which is balanced on a piece of round wood. Very easy to topple over, which makes thegame a fun challenge. It's a cute-looking toy, teaches him patience, how to take turns, and introduces him to the idea of balance. Just be careful not to lose the little pieces (actually, mine came with an extra piece of cheese).Also a great toy, is the one with the rabbits and carrots.

Go 0 to 100 Game - CLEARANCE - zippy circuit competition Review

Go 0 to 100 Game - CLEARANCE - zippy circuit competitionThis is a hidden-identities racing game in which all of the players may move all of the cars.But only you know which color racer is yours.Trick other players into advancing your roadster (as they try to conceal their identify from you).Or pre-empt their best move by slowing down their car or dropping it in an oil slick.

This game has high production values (cute wooden cars, modular board) and manages to pack a lot of strategy (not to mention bluffing) into a small box.Can be simplified for younger children by removing oil cans (accelerators requiring simple addition or doubling) and oil slicks (reverses course) from the track.

Due to oil stains they risk skidding. Who, by bluffing, good tactics and a bit of luck, will cross the target line first?
