Kid Tough!

I have some tough kids, tough on toys is really what I mean. So I feel especially thankful to Fisher-Price and the like for making kid tough toys! This year John and Anna will get cameras and Anna will get the CD player. We'd love the DVD player too but that will have to wait for a future holiday/birthday!

This camera is at www.toysrus.com for $50. You can sometimes find similar styles at your local BJS or Costco for less. Either way, they're sure to love it!

This is the CD player I purchased for Anna through www.amazon.com. I KNOW she will love this!!And finally, the one we've yet to get but one I'm sure they would use regularly. This is also available at www.toysrus.com for $149.99 I think this DVD player is also at BJs for a bit less:

Fun from Fisher Price

We love the little people sets. They seem to be a toy that lasts for years and grows with your child. At Christmas time I always love to see the sets they come out with for the holidays. Here are some of my favorites:

Tree Lighting in the Park

Twas the night before Christmas story set

And the Nativity

Best news in years

Wow! Head on over to http://www.amazon.com/ to read about their new Frustration Free packaging! That's right, they have started an initiative with manufacturers to to deliver products in smaller, easy-to-open recyclable cardboard boxes with less packaging material (no more clamshells or wire ties!)

One of the first products to offer it is something John is playing with as I type! The Fisher Price Imaginext Adventures Pirate Ship!

We love Imaginext toys and this is a great way for you to try them out!!
