Alex Toys Finger Crayons, Set of 30

Creativity is at the tips of your fingers with these durable, stackable crayons. Thirty bright crayons are perfectly sized for little hands to hold in their palms or place on their fingertips. Ages: 2 + Manufacturer: Alex
Customer Review: Excellent crayons
We gave these to our 22 month old son for Christmas and he did'nt want to stop playing with these crayons. He likes stacking them up 'till they fall down - and they don't break. We enjoy counting the crayons together and naming each of the colors. They're very easy and fun to hold either with your finger inside the crayon or in the palm of your hand. For the lighter colored crayons you have to press down somewhat hard to actually see the color on the paper. I like that they don't roll off the table!
Customer Review: These are great!
My 20 month old twins love these! We bought a smaller set when they were about 1. They could use them then, but tended to bite the ends off. I would wait till the child was past the eating everything stage. Now my girls have a great time with the crayons. They like to stack them up as much as they like to color with them. I would definately recommend them.


It's certainly the case that for some dogs and particular breeds learn to fetch allot faster than other breeds. If you wan to teach any dog to fetch then follow these steps and it shouldn't be a problem.

Tip 1 - Stage 1

  • Make sure you use something that your dog has familiarity with and enjoys. I taught my first dog to fetch by using his favorite furry teddy (with a squeak). I used this because my dog already enjoyed playing with this toy so it made the training process easier right from the start.
  • The reason that I used a squeaky toy was it instantly focused his attention when I threw it.
  • Although ropes and tug toys maybe one of your dog's favorite toys -don't use it when training to fetch as your dog is more accustomed to tug-of-war, and will want to play this with you instead of learning to fetch.

Tip 2 - Stage 2

  • In this stage you need to place your dog on a leash.
  • You need to use a relatively long leash, something about 10 foot or slightly longer is perfect. The reason behind using a leash is that you don't want to be chasing after your dog and trying to retrieve him.
  • The longer the leash the better as it will enable your dog to run to fetch his toy but with you still having an element of control.

Tip 3 - Stage 3

  • I always use treats when I am training any dog to fetch - this keep and holds their attention.
  • This stage is possibly the most difficult as you want to keep your dog your dog's attention on the toy, the treats and on you.
  • If you are starting the fetch training with a puppy - do the fetch training over a period of about a week - keep practicing this stage by trying to hold your puppies attention.
  • When fetch training a puppy - make sure you end the training before he loses his attention - this will keep your puppy interested every time you restart the fetch training process.

Tip 4 - Stage 4 - Fetch

  • Right here we go...

  • Now you have your dog on a leash, a toy, your dog's undivided attention, and a treat - You are now ready to to start the fetch training process.
  • Hold your dog/puppy quite tightly on the leash and keeping his attention - wave the toy in front of him and the throw it away - only a few feet - you want it to be in your dog's eye line.
  • As you throw it say in a firm voice 'fetch' and let your dog run after the toy.
  • When your dog has got the toy in his mouth gently draw the dog back in with your leash.
  • When he is within reach, offer the treat and say 'give' and take the toy from your dog's mouth.
  • Make sure you aren't pulling and tugging for the toy-this isn't a game and your dog needs to understand that.
  • Now it's time to praise your dog - make a really big deal of it make your dog realize that you are thrilled. Repeat 'good dog' and pat and pet him.
  • Continue to repeat stages 4 and 5 until you feel he is getting bored or losing his attention

If you repeat this over the course of a week - any dog even the most stubborn breed will learn to fetch.

Customer Review: Toy soldiers
I ordered these guys for my son's school project. He had to illustrate a phalanx formation, and his inspiration was the Battle of Thermoplye, aka 300. These guys are very small, 2 inches tall at best, so not meant for toddlers at all. Plus, what I paid for them, I felt was a bit high prices for cheap plastic army guys, which is what these chaps were, just dressed in Spartan, er, Roman garb.
Customer Review: GREAT!! Perfect for school projects or just for fun!
My 7 yr old son loved these Romans! Perfect for the school project, or just for fun! The soldiers can be bent into shape (ignore those other posters!) Fun, fun, fun, I re-ordered more after my son lost his to the neighbors!! A++++


We will start by telling you how to clean rubber, plastic, and hard toys. These toys can be easily cleaning by using soap and water. If the soap and water method does not work well enough, you can also place these toys into the dishwasher. While in the dishwasher you should put the water on hot with no detergent. The heat and water pressure should remove the dirt and grime from the toys, which is why detergent is not needed. Another type of toy is rope toys. Rope toys can be cleaned by wetting the toy and placing it inside the microwave for a full minute. Microwaves are known for killing germs like bacteria to yeast and mold.

Another way to get rid of the germs on this type of toy is, again, to stick inside the dishwasher with no detergent. Using hot water will take care of all the germs on the toy. Dogs also love stuffed animals. Stuffed animals can get very slobbery and carry many germs so you should clean these very thoroughly. The easiest way to clean this is throwing it into the washing machine. Most animals can handle the washing machine, so this is your best bet. After surviving the washing machine you can then put it into the dryer. Keep in mind these things that you should discard:

1.Toys that have missing parts and that have been heavily chewed.
2.Any toys with dangling bits, all which have a choking hazard.
3.Toys that your dog is "eating" excluding treat toys. Your dog should not be eating his toys.
Once you are satisfied with how the toy cleaning turned out, you are now ready to give the toy back to your dog.

The Land Before Time Set of 4 Toy Action Figures




Even at a young age, playing fosters your child's physical and mental development. It is essential however that you provide babies with toys meant for their specific age group. Also, always remember to check that they meet the required safety standards.

These are some ideal toys for your three to six month old child:

Soft Cuddly Toys: Soft toys such as dolls and teddies are good for babies at this age. It is important that it does not have parts such as sharp wires that can cut through and hurt your child. Similarly, avoid toys with buttons, eyes, or ribbons that can be torn off and swallowed.

Squeaky Toys: At this age, a baby learns to grasp and feel things. Toys that squeak will encourage your child to squeeze and explore objects in different ways.

Rattles: At this age, children learn to associate cause and effect of events. Rattles and other toys that they can shake or manipulate to produce different sounds will help them to understand this better.

Board Books: Reading to a child helps develop your baby's language skills. Children also love to be shown pictures which they associate with the stories. Besides, board books are made to withstand the attentions of younger children.

Toy Bars: These are bars with different plastic toys that can attach to your baby's stroller or car seat. These can provide endless enjoyment during a stroll or drive.

Here are some suggestions for safe toys and play activities:

The best toy you can give your three-month-old baby is a plastic or rubber ring. Watch as he explores the ring with his hands and mouth.

Lay your baby on his tummy and roll a brightly colored ball from side to side in front of him.

Ring a bell or squeeze a squeaky toy while your baby is watching.

Put some brightly colored toys in your baby's bath.

Blow liquid bubbles with a wand while holding your baby. He will love to watch the bubbles as they float by.
