Potholder Deluxe with Cotton Loops

Cheap Potholder Deluxe with Cotton Loops On Sale

I got this for my mom as a christmas gifts, because she had a similar one when she was younger, and always says they make the best potholders around. A couple days after christmas she had already finished a pretty one in shades of blue. The kit comes with lots of different colors and shows you how to do some different patterns. Sturdy metal frame is great, as these get pretty tight near the end of making one, and this one will hold up to the strain!

Matchbox Car Wash Adventure Set

Cheap Matchbox Car Wash Adventure Set On Sale

We bought this Car Wash for our little boy to go along with the Matchbox hero city playset. He got it for his 4th birthday and out of all the gifts he got for his birthday- the matchbox hero city car wash and the rest of the set is what he spends most of his time playing with out of everything else. We finally have a use for all the cars he has- he loves taking the cars through the wash and up the elevator to get dried off! I highly recommend the Matchbox hero city playset and the car wash by its self is a great product! I am so happy that Matchbox has came out with the awesome sets that you don't have to put together and they can be moved without pieces falling off of them. Its great to be able to use all those little matchbox and hot wheels cars we had stored in their box. Now they get played with daily and it keeps my little boy occupied on those rainy days!

iPlay Press N Go Inchworm

Cheap iPlay Press N Go Inchworm On Sale

I bought this toy from a little Discover Toys show hosted at a friend's house. The purchase was for my 9 month old at the time, but my soon to be 3 year old loves this toy! The 9 month old loves shaking it. My two year old begs me to sit at the other end of our hardwood floored hallway and roll this caterpillar super fast in his direction and then he returns it in the same fashion. This toy has run into walls, furniture, and occasionally is knocked off balance by our little 10 lbs dog that gets all stirred up when this thing is racing around. It really is a hoot and our baby just laughs with sheer glee when it rolls by. Such a fun little toy that doesn't require batteries and gives lots of smiles!

Kid-O Bilibo - Orange

Cheap Kid-O Bilibo - Orange On Sale

I bought a bilibo for my seven year old son for Christmas. He has Down syndrome and I find it challenging to develop his imaginative play skills. But he was fascinated by this simple toy from the start. First wore it, then put stuff in it, then spun toys in it. It took him awhile to figure out how to spin himself in it, but he did and is now a pro. This gives an added benefit of using his core strength and giving him vestibular input which he needs. Great exercise for inside in winter. He uses it as a chair to lounge and watch TV in. My teenage daughter's big friends all get a huge kick out of it too!

Star Wars Electronic Lightsaber - Obi-Wan

Cheap Star Wars Electronic Lightsaber - Obi-Wan On Sale

I got this for my son at Toys'R'us at .99, and figured we should get the red Vader one so we can play together. It turned out they had a buy one and get the second one at 50% off, and then another off sale. I ended up getting 2 of them for . No complaints here. I can't believe they can make stuff so cheap these days. This thing is actually pretty good looking. The sound effects are phenomenal. Switch it on for a satisfying swoosh, wave it around for that light saber buzz, hit something for that crackle sound and finally shut it down to hear movie-like effect. FX saber sounds at fraction of the price. The light does not seem that bright, but it helps to be in a dim room. extracting and retracting the blade is what it is....

My son and I watched the mini-DVD with all the cool light saber duels from original trilogy to the new clone wars animations, and had several matches. My son loves it! My wife wants to play because the sound effects are so cool! Tons of fun! I think it's shorter and smaller than the FX one, so if you're a die-hard patiwan training for your Jedi master status, stick with the replicas and spend your hundreds elsewhere, but if you're buying for a kid and want the bang for the buck, I believe this to be the most "realistic" light saber out there.

Wikki Stix Assorted Fun Favors

Cheap Wikki Stix Assorted Fun Favors On Sale

Before I purchased I wasn't able to figure out how many came in a package. So FYI there are 50 packs in the package. We purchased them for our 3 year-old's birthday party. Our kids love them, I'm sure they'll be a hit as a party favor.

iPlay Cool Tools Activity Set

Cheap iPlay Cool Tools Activity Set On Sale

I got this for my 15 month old boy for a long car trip (two days). it has become his favorite car toy of all time. Our screws don't come out. We did not put batteries in the drill so he has no interest yet in that. he spends most of the time shape sorting and sometimes banging. The design helps him keep all the toys right there in his lap, like a little lap tool desk, unless he throws them over the side intentionally. That is why I chose this toy. There are few toys he can hang on to in the car that have parts to take on and off. The music is a little annoying, but I like the tape idea over the speakers! Even my 4 year old boy wanted to play with it when he could. A good investment for us on car trips.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Chunk - White

Cheap Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Chunk - White On Sale

This item was delivered quickly with AMAZONS' super saver shipping and the rest really doesn't matter, because my Nephew loved receiving his white electronic hamster. My opinion on how much it was really worth or the length of time he didn't play with the toy is meaningless in comparison to the smile the gift produced the eagerly expecting four year old! He had his battery operated hamster named chunk for Christmas & he played with it well in to the night. The toy came with the batteries, which was a big plus. For those that want to concentrate on the price gouging aspect; Yes, the product is imported and overpriced but isn't this the American way? Get over it!

Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway - Sodor Bay Bridge Learning Curve

Cheap Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway - Sodor Bay Bridge Learning Curve On Sale

This bridge is worth every penny. I bought this bridge online (not from amazon.com) and the description said that it didn't come with ascending tracks, so I bought ascending tracks separately. Well, it turns out that the bridge actually *did* come with a pair of ascending tracks! Also, I bought a male-to-male connector separately because I thought that the 2 bridge pieces could not connect directly to one another, to form one long bridge - once I got the bridge, though, I found that you *can* actually connect the 2 bridge pieces together without using a separate connector..all you have to do is remove one of the supporting blocks (underneath the track) from one of the bridge ends. Each bridge has removable supporting blocks on both ends, so there's a ton of configurations you can come up with. If you have ascending track risers (which do *not* come with the bridge), you can connect the bridges with regular straight track

Cheap Tek Nek "Rock N' Ride" Pink Pony On Sale

This will be the fourth one we have bought...they all have loved it and all still have them...We bought the first one years ago for our oldest grandson and he passed his on to his little brother. We then bought one for another grandson who in turn passed it on to his little borther. We bought one again last year for our newest grandson and he loves his! We now have a grandaughter and we were thrilled to see that it also comes in pink - we just bought the pink one for her! This pony is just adorable and the mouth moves as it sings!!

Play-Doh: Rollers and Cutters

Cheap Play-Doh: Rollers and Cutters On Sale

This is one of the best toys I got so far for my 21 month toddler. She LOVES playing with the PlayDoh, but she still lacks the coordination to make figures by herself. This product is great for this age. She figured out very quickly how to use the accessories to mold the PlayDoh. Now she wants to play with it every day, and she is learning to play by herself, so it gives me free time! I definitely recommend it.

Two more comments:
- It comes with scissors and some smaller pieces. I just put these apart until she grows up a little. The rest of the accessories are very safe for a young child.
- It only comes with two colors. But for me that is enough. In fac, I always use one of them. My child is still small enough to play with two colors without mixing. So this is not a disadvantage. But if the child is older, I recommend buying some more play doh to complement.

And this is it. I wish there was a small bag to put all together, too. I am using one of those nice plastic bags from some shoes I bought her. But it would be a nice complement.

LEGO Prince of Persia The Ostrich Race (7570)

Cheap LEGO Prince of Persia The Ostrich Race (7570) On Sale

I admit it---I bought this set just to get those Lego ostriches!

That being said, there are also enough other pieces of note in the set that make the price reasonable at around 20 bucks. Included are several weapons (plus the ostrich 'whip'), a scorpion and snake, a couple of low-lying plants, and 3 minifigures (Ostrich Driver, turban-wearing Sheik Amar, and the shirtless Dastan).Dastan and the Sheik have the double-faced head that allows them to be either scared/smiling or smirking/smiling. The set itself is a pretty simple set-up for the racing gates; the design includes a movable arm that opens the 2 gates simultaneously to release the ostriches for racing. 5-10 minutes to build and then the Ostrich Race is on!
