Toddlerz Push Toy - Corn Popper

This is probably the first toy that (no pun intended) pops into your mind when you hear the name Fisher-Price. Maybe this will jar your memory: the Push Toy Corn Popper has a long, blue handle (well, "long" if you're 3 years old), and rolls along on two brightly colored red/orange wheels while making great popping sounds as it bounces brightly colored balls inside a clear plastic bubble that's mounted above the wheels. So much for the technical specifications. There must be some unwritten law that every toddler has to have one of these. And with good reason. They're still fun! --Chris Livesay
Customer Review: Love this toy
I remember this toy from my childhood and can't wait until my son is old enough to play with it. He can't push it on his own yet so I do it for him, he really enjoys the popping noise. I do have to say though that you could get this item much MUCH cheaper by going to Babies R Us (or any other store for that matter), they have them there for under $10.
Customer Review: Wonderful Toy
Even my 2 year old son thought it was fantastic even though it was intended for my 9 month old daughter. We will get years and years of use out of this fantastic toy.


When you are opening a franchise for hamburgers, you have the ability to make a lot of money very quickly. All you need to do is to provide the site for the building and the money to purchase the franchise. After you structure is built you need to provide the workers. The rest is provided for you.

The dcor will also be provided for you. You do not have to select anything. The chain owner will select everything; they will even have a code for you to follow. You will receive all of the food products with instructions that must be explicitly followed. Nothing is left up to you to decide, which means that all of the bugs have already been worked out. Opening a franchise means that the company already has a good reputation and all you have to do is manage the workers and let the money roll in.

The only way you can screw up your business when you are opening a franchise is to have health code violations, hire incompetent workers or not follow the prescribed instructions. Basically, if you hire a good manager, you have nothing to worry about.

When you are opening a franchise, you do not even have to work out the advertising because it is already prepared. You get all everything you need and it matches all of the other cookie cutter establishments. The pattern has been set and if you can keep up with the health codes and keep your workers in line, you will have it made. Before you know it, you will be rich and thinking of opening another franchise.

If you need money now, like I mean in the next hour, try what I did. I am making more money now than in my old business and you can too, read the amazing, true story, in the link below. When I joined I was skeptical for just ten seconds before I realized what this was. I was smiling from ear to ear and you will too.

I personally love this toy. It is so very cute. I got it for my 6 month old and she really just chews on it right now. I think she will enjoy it more as she gets older.
Customer Review: Fun toy for little one
Little one likes taking stuff out and putting it back in. Also likes the sounds the individual stuff makes.


It's a fact that the life expectancy of kids toys are short but we have to face the reality; with the high pricing cost of basic commodities nowadays it is really not practical for us to buy toys frequently to replace broken ones. It is therefore important that we teach our kids how to maintain their toys. We know that at one point those toys will be broken but what we could do is to extend the life span of those toys.

We should start by keeping track of how many and what kinds of toys of our kids have. Let us have a record which contains information such as when we bought it and when it was broken. You could also include when a toy is lost or if it would be found. It is like a record of incoming and outgoing toys from our kid

So why do we need to have a record? From our record we could easily find out details. How long one toy does lasts in my kid? How frequent do we buy them toys? The record would tell the toy-playing-and-breaking-pattern of our kids.

The next step is to watch our kids when they play with their toys. We should observe closely if our kids intentionally break their toys. Sometimes, kids do this because they seek attention from us and they see toys as platform to release pent up emotions. Once this is the case, it is better that we spend more quality time with our kids

In some cases, kids' toys will get damaged because they played it too much, which is not really bad but if this happens frequent, we should talk to our kids and tell them the value of their toys. It is never too early to teach our children responsibility

We could tell them that taking care of their toy is like us taking care of them. But let us be worthy models for our kids. If our kids see us not organized with our own stuff how could they follow us if we do not practice what we preach?

We should remember that maintaining kids' toys is a process, take it one step at a time. We should start by having a "toy box" where our kids will place their toy once they finish playing with it. Another good way on promoting to our kids how to take care of their toys is taking part of their "toy maintenance" like joining them when they are wiping their toys wit when it gathered dust. We should make them feel that they could have fun when they maintain their toys.

To sum it up, we must remember that we do not just leave toys to our kids for them to play with until they get broken then we would but them new one. Let us play with our kids and be a part of their lives. One best way to inculcate to our kids the value of responsibility is when we established good relationship with them which is could develop when we join them play and maintain their toys.

Manhattan Toy Dr. Seuss Horton Hand Puppet

Act out Horton Hears a Who with our soft HORTON hand puppet.


Toddler toys are perfect for the development of our children. These toys allow them to explore and help aid in their development. There are so many different types of toys that are perfect for your growing toddler. The toys will introduce the fun of play and learning at the same time. I am not an expert in the field of toys for toddlers. I am just a work from home mom who takes my role as a parent very seriously. As we all should. It is an honor and a privilege to have children. So everything matters and is equally important.

I have done the proper research and asked our pediatrician about the "right" toddler toys. I guess there is no right toy exactly. You could say the best toys that will help them to develop. It really is just a matter of my opinion and advice that I would like to share with all of you. These are only suggestions for you to try with your toddler. Always feel free to do your own research. You should always investigate a toy in my opinion, especially for expensive toy purchases. I have some great tips that I like to do before I buy any toddler toys for my son. It's a shame to spend a large amount of money on a toy, only to find out it's not worth the money you spent.

Tips to consider before you purchase Toddler Toys

Research the toy.

You can go online and Google any toy that you may be interested in. You can find ratings and reviews about the product. It is actually quite surprising to read what other parents may have written about the toy. They rate and review the toy after they have purchased it and their toddler played with it. You can find out whether or not it would make a good purchase. Read all the reviews. You will find good and bad about any item but, it still may give you an idea. I researched a toy before I purchased it. Ignoring the reviews, I bought it anyway and the reviews were dead on and I ended up regretting the purchase. So be wise and use the resources available to you.

The Mom Test

What I mean by this is actually go to the store and look at the toy. Feel it, play with it examine it closely. Ask yourself questions about the toy:

  • How is the toy made? Is it cheaply made? Is it sturdy and strong?

  • Will it break easily?

  • What are the age recommendations?

  • Is it worth the price?

  • Are the parts too small?

  • How long are they going to play with it before they outgrow it?

You would be amazed at how you can see toddler toys online and then when you see them in the store they look completely different. This has happened to me more times than I can count. So inspect carefully.

The Toddler Test

Allow your child to look at the toy and see if they even like it. I am guilty of this one. I was famous for buying toys that I thought were so cute and wanted my toddler to enjoy. He didn't even like them or play with them. It sometimes ended up being a waste. Well as you can read from my site, I do not like to waste money. So see if your toddler will even play with the toy in question. Again, you may be pleasantly surprised either way.

Try and get the Best Price

When it comes to toddler toys, I am all about saving money. Well I like to save money in general. You have got to shop around. When you shop online you sometimes get a much better price than in the actual store. You should watch your shipping prices though. Sometimes that can be the breaking factor. You think you are saving money but you come out paying more with the shipping. So be careful. Don't forget about wonderful E-bay and Craigslist. Two great places to find toys at reasonable low prices.

Be sure to go online to different stores and compare prices. Two and three dollars can make a difference when you add it all up. It is important so just take your time and you'll get a great deal. I am the queen of finding bargains and my hubby loves me for it! LOL

If you purchase an expensive toy, make sure your toddler will get the proper use out of it.

The reason for this is that they will outgrow them before you know it. My three year old will refer to some of his old toddler toys as "baby toys". It is so cute but he is right. Shop within reason and think about how long they are going to actually play with the toy. It really doesn't make sense to purchase a $100 toy for 6 months of play. Research a less expensive toy and save the rest of your money. Trust me the cost is not the issue, toddlers will play with boxes and have a blast. You understand where I am going with this. Just decide if the price is worth it and if you are going to get the use out of the toy for the price.

I bet you never thought about all of these factors when considering toddler toys? It's amazing isn't it? When I finally was blessed to become a Mom my perspective on everything changed. I became so picky and concerned about everything pertaining to my son. We want the best for our children. I have also come to the realization that it all matters to me. Even the toys that I buy for him, because to me the picture is bigger and greater than we all know. We want to give them the best within reason, and the best doesn't always mean more expensive. Society gets us all caught up in that garbage.

I want my son to be a well spoken, articulate, and intelligent young man when he grows up. My choices affect him so therefore it is my job to make the best choices, even down to his toys. I will close with a thought. Remember to have FUN with your toddler. You can find great toddler toys that are just that. They will be learning and not even realize it. That is the best part of all. Learning really can be FUN.

Organic Veggie Green Bean Toy - Organic Egyptian Cotton, Fair Trade

This 100% organic cotton teething toy brings new meaning to the phrase "eat your vegetables." Soft, simple, and healthy, this green bean is both sweet and smart with absolutely no pesticides or chemicals used in the production process. It's a great first toy for your baby to chew on!
Customer Review: Can't live without
my now nine-month-old twins both LOVE this green bean (and the carrot). it's one of their favorite teething toys and was one of the first things they actually reached for and emited squeals over! Plus it goes in the washing machine and dryer so after it gets a soaking from being chewed on, it can get clean again. SO much better for them than all the plastic out there!


Summer is one of the best seasons for kids to have fun. There is so much to do because the kids are out of school and the weather is great. The days are also long so there is plenty of time to pack a summer full of activities.

Depending on what you have available, where you live, and what you want to do, there are several field trips you can go on. The zoo is usually open during the summer. In most states there are a good 5 or 6 zoos to choose from and each has something special about it. You could spend a few days checking out different zoos.

There are also a lot of water parks open all over the country during the summer months. Water slides are a huge part of these theme parks and kids absolutely love them. Other theme parks are open as well, such as Disney, Busch Gardens, Hershey, and lots more. No matter where you live you should be able to find something fun to take the kids to do for a day.

If you don't want to spend money on fun, there is still a lot to do. Most cities have a public pool area, and a lot of places offer swimming lessons usually for pretty cheap, if not free. If you don't have a pool in your area you could always hook up a hose and sprinkler, the cost is just for the water used, and the kids usually have a lot of fun.

Another idea for summer activities is going to the local state park. The beaches, trails, camping and boating would definitely keep the kids busy for quite some time. Most parks let them bring their bikes as well.

There are other things you can do around your own house to entertain the kids during the summer. They can play sports outside, but should drink a lot of water. You could go hiking in the woods behind your house, or a friend's house. Summer afternoons are a great time to take a walk in your neighborhood, and the kids can jump through other people's sprinklers, but only those that come out to the sidewalk. It might not be such a good idea to let them run through all the lawns.

If it is a rainy day, but muggy, you could let the kids dance in the rain, even in their bathing suits. You might want to stay in side and be air conditioned and watch movie together, or even better, go to a movie together. The summer season is one of the biggest times of the year that blockbuster movies are released.

When it comes to summer vacation, one thing is for sure, parents always get worried about keeping their kids occupied and kids just want to have fun. Keep these simple things in mind when planning your summer: Kids want to get wet, be outside and have their friends around, with these in mind, you are good to go when it comes to planning.

I purchased 2 of these for christmas gifts. My boyfriend and one of our friends are really huge bobba fett fans. These are about the neatest cutest things I've ever seen.

Have you ever noticed a baby or a little child playing? Babies look cute with innocence all over the face. They get so engrossed that nothing else matters to them. Have you noticed a boy generating a hilarious noise of a automobile working engine they give the girls a boost to an artistic stockpile where another group of children trying to play with other things like; toy rabbits and bears, then you comprehend the educational significance of toys, their utility influence. Toys engage in recreation which is more or less the utmost ingredient in baby's maturity enhancing their psychological or individual growth. Many toys facilitate children to survey the humankind of make suppose as they try to replicate full-fledged mature individual like their parents. Children fascinate their parents to a great extent. The finest gift for a baby is a toy, but we often are confronted with a problem which toy to desire to give pleasure to the baby. They help children to develop possibility of knowing the world as well as to improve their coordination. So, there in no uncertainty and hesitation, that children and toys is something inseparable.

Different toys for different children. There are quite a lot of stages in a child's growth which can be broadly classified into different categories. The initial group includes little babies from new born babies to 1-2 year old babies. These babies should be given toys which are just to keep the baby amused. These amuse yourself things are more often than not typical toys as teddy bears, dolls, jangles and etc. They are deficient in the enlightening significance, but their importance for babies is to add to their substantial and psychological progress. The best toys for this age group are the plush toys. But selection of a toy for a newborn, his or her age should never be overlooked; otherwise the baby will pay no attention to the toy, because it will be too straightforward and dull or too highly developed and multifaceted. Whether the toys play mild music or a lullaby or chat, they can be called motivating toys, because such toys build up the infant's senses. Music stimulates and calms the babies.

Babies when grow into children, they need more educational toys. Toys can also develop skills in your child. Expertise development play things are very well liked and your baby by no means seems to get exhausted by it. It is also very noteworthy to prefer toys of diverse touch for your baby to improve right mind of surface. For instance, children they take delight in significance of playing buttons to listen to songs or playing a toy piano or a guitar imagining that they are very brilliant musicians. They might grow into being one, one day. A toy can make your child decide his or her career. You can also prefer wooden toys for this age group of children. Children love to act together with their toys and they become their friends, teachers and companions.

Manhattan Toy Groovy Girl Pets Midnight Star Horse

Groovy Girl "Midnight Star" Horse make sounds that bring this beautiful black stallion to life. With the push of the Groovy Girls flower on her hip, this poseable horse makes galloping sounds, whinnies and snorts. Dimensions: 15" H
Customer Review: A Great Find
This toy has some neat features that are helpful for playing. It has loops on the reigns to put the dolls hands into. And the saddle has stirrups for putting in the feet so it really helps to keep the doll on the horse while playing. It's also a nice big horse. It makes sounds (galloping & whinnying), which I didn't realize, but it ended up being okay because the volume is at a nice level and it only makes sounds if you push the button. It feels like there are some kind of supports in the legs and this is helpful in making the horse stand upright. This was a great Christmas present and my girls play with it often.

Girali Square Clutching Toy by Selecta

Lovingly made in Germany by Selecta Spielzeug, the delightul Girali Square Grasping Toy gently springs back into shape no matter how you bend it. A sturdy companion with a high fun-factor.
Customer Review: Worth the extra $$
Our Twins LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this toy. It is simple and clean, but one of their favorites
Customer Review: Great all around toy.
My daughter loves this toy. It rattles, it's good for teething and it's not made with toxic paint. We always make sure that we have this toy with us when we go out.


Since the holidays are just around the corner, a new review of popular toys is overdue. However, after surveying the current trends in the industry, this reviewer had to take a step back and reconsider. My epiphany: modern toys are mostly a collection of blinking lights and obnoxious noises! How did it come to this?

So instead of providing another holiday review of what's hot in the toy world, an re-introduction to traditional (read: non-blinking) toys is much more useful. Traditional toys have a lot of benefits over the trendy toys, not the least of which is affordability. But there are many more reasons why parents should rethink the value of traditional educational toys.

First, remember that classic toys are made from natural sources, so toxicity is not an issue. We all know how the recent reports about Chinese toys and their shocking lead content levels. Never worry about this again with classic toys made from wood or natural fiber.

Traditional toys are also simpler, so they are less likely to break. Nor do they need a constant supply of batteries. Nor do they drive parents nuts with repetitive and annoying sound effects. Have you ever seen a parent take back a wooden block because it fell apart within a week? Probably not.

Another benefit of classic toys is that they encourage physical activity and group activity. Kids like to share, and they like to build things. This will not change season to season, and traditional toys - like jump rope and building blocks - will continue to draw the kids outdoors to play. Compare this to video games, which basically promote couch-potatoes-in-training.

Many will be shocked to learn that traditional toys actually have a better chance of being played with by kids. Sure, that plastic noise machine will take a quarter of a million years to degrade in sunlight (and will never biodegrade in a landfill), but only the first few hours out of the box will that toy be warmed by actual human hands. Children tire of fad toys because they are promoted with meaningless hype, not enduring values.

Traditional toys last longer because of something ephemeral but nonetheless crucial for child development: imagination. These toys reflect back a child's curiosity about the world, and grow with the child's understanding, skill level, and responsibility. An obvious example is blocks, which change from incidental chew-toys to simple building toys to complex lessons in physics and load capacity within a six year span. These toys are often handed down to new parents in the community, so it is not uncommon for wooden blocks to stay in the family for several generations.

Finally, because classic toys are imagination-centric, rather than gimmicky, they are also socially flexible. This means that the toys can be used in a variety of social settings. Children can learn how to share, work together, and build off one another's ideas. This is a crucial part of child development that modern electronic toys simply cannot do.

In the final analysis, modern toys are built to entertain and distract children, while more traditional toys are built to engage a child's imagination and help them socialize, while building real skills of dexterity and patience.

Barbara Garrison writes about parenting, education, and internet marketing. For additional perspective on traditional toys, be sure to check out these classic toy suggestions.

When we let our little girls play with dolls, we are allowing them to exercise their imagination and creativity. It's also how they mimic the things that they see going on around them. One of the innovations that lets girls even become more creative are Barbie games. They come in a variety of forms for example, video games, online computer games, story book games and even vinyl sticky Barbie games. Barbie is of course the main character.

Online, you can dress the Barbie doll. In one version, she is in a store trying to make a decision on what to get. There are long and short dresses, and you can also change her hair color and hairstyle.

The fashion conscious aren't left out. There are tons of accessories like shoes, handbags, jewelry, and hosiery and so on. In another game, you find Barbie surrounded by loads of glamorous dresses and you get to pick what you like and dress her in it. You can also change her lip color and make up. It's actually a lot of fun.

There are also Barbie games where you go on adventures with Barbie. These are based on some of the Barbie movies and it doesn't matter if you haven't seen the movie. It's still fun and easy to play. Your little girl is promised a lot of fun with these games, and as a parent one should know that the content is suitable as they are aimed for young girls. The games are also very easy to navigate though.

Toy Vault Rabbit Plush with Big Pointy Teeth

    Wild bunny on the loose! Plush nightmare with humongous teeth! Let this menace protect your room from unwanted visitors!
What big teeth you have, Grandbunny! From Monty Python's The Quest for the Holy Grail, this 9-inch long plush rabbit comes with beautiful snow-white fur and immense pointy teeth. Take a gander at those canines! Let him out of his protective casing and you'd best watch out. He may be soft and squishy, but this killer rabbit has a vicious streak a mile wide!
Customer Review: wascal wabbit
monty python's rabbit may have too many teeth to keep its mouth closed or the inclination of the upper lip a little lame but that's being nit-picking, it's a hilarious product.
Customer Review: Not really a toy; more a fun reminder of the rabbit that's DYNAMITE!
My boyfriend is a big Holy Grail fan, and the rabbit scene is one of his favorites. I bought this as an extra Christmas gift just for fun. He loves it and has it in his office. It is full sized and the mouth velcros shut so that it looks like a normal white rabbit until you open its mouth, or activate the blinking red eyes. A must have for any Monty Python lover.


Children's Educational Toys are those that combine playing with teaching and the child does not even know when one stopped and the other began. Playing with fun and learning with fun need not be two activities meant for separate times. Children exist in their own high energy zone and educational toys serve to generate, absorb and canalize this energy.

Super parents are always on the lookout for toys that hold the attention of their children and simultaneously help to enhance the learning abilities of their super kids while providing a lot of fun at the same time. One may easily concede that only a toy that succeeds in sustaining the ever wavering attention of a child can remain in the child's observational orbit for long enough to educate the child.

The spectrum or range of education with the help of toys cannot be limited. It has vast and endless possibilities. One never knows and can never correctly predict what excites the child's creative and imagination skills and to what extent. It can be a color, a texture a shape or even a sound. It can be a picture, a structure, a puzzle piece or just about anything. It is ultimately left to the creators of Educational Toys to come up with toys that are designed to bring forth, cultivate and hone the learning abilities of children, as undoubtedly, if 'we catch them young', this is where our Galileos and Einsteins are going to come from.

This is a time and era for multi tasking and children are the fastest learners provided their intellects are fed with the right visual and intellectual catalysts. With a generation of whiz kids looking at us for more and more for variety and challenges, childhood is an excellent time to introduce children to a variety of educational toys that not only tickle their imagination but also activate their creative tendencies.

Educational toys help encourage fundamental skills in children at the same time prepare them for school. Some educational toys encourage group activities. Building blocks are also an excellent tool for sculpting inborn and inherent talents. Most of all, educational Toys set a child thinking, and all the advancement and technology and wonders that one sees today are the result of the 'thinking of thinkers'.

However, creation of Educational Toys is no mean job and definitely not a small responsibility. Child Development Specialists put years of observation and learning and being with children to provide playtime learning toys for children that serve as a flashpoint for imagination, inspire creative skills and encourage learning in children.

Little Zen Minds has a diverse selection of children's educational toys, books, games, arts and crafts that focus on mental, physical and creative development of children.

Customer Review: My daughter LOVES this toy
I bought this car seat for my daughter(4 years old) for Christmas since she was getting so many dolls. Of the oodles and oodles of toys she received at Christmas, this is hands down the most favorite. She plays with her dolls and car seat almost non-stop and brings them along in the car. The quality is excellent and seems quite durable. I highly recommend this toy.

A lot of people who collect toy fire trucks do so because the novelty just never wears off. They just never get sick of them. Traditionally, the older we get, the bigger our toys get but for some of us that is just not the case. For some of us, the collection started back in our childhood and will more than likely continue on through the rest of our lives.

Everyone is different though, and everyone has different motivations for collecting their toy fire trucks. Sentimental value plays a big part for some collectors who find comfort in being reminded of certain eras and events in their own history, while others get a thrill just from being the holder or keeper of something rare and valuable.

In my experience I have found that most people, despite their age, will have some kind of toy on display somewhere. Whether it be at home above the "mantle piece" or in a shiny glass cabinet somewhere in a special room. Even if it's just one of their old toy fire trucks perched on their desk in the study room or the office at work.

But even with the thousands upon thousands of varying designs, toy fire trucks all share one common denominator: They transport our imaginations back to the days when our lives were uncomplicated and the worries and concerns of adulthood had not yet overtaken our thoughts.

As youngsters, our toy fire trucks opened up a world of daring adventure, perilous rescue missions and heroic deeds. Oddly enough, most of us would probably gladly face those situations for real now, rather than the stresses of everyday adult life. I believe it is here that lies the real attraction of our collections. Our old toys enable us to relive some of the fading memories of the less "complicated" childhood years when life was a lot simpler and imaginations were a lot stronger.

Other reasons for collecting toy fire trucks vary from collector to collector. As mentioned earlier, sentimental value is a huge one, but there are others who simply enjoy the monetary gains one can expect from buying and selling the toys. There are more still who just can't seem to part with the ones they've held onto for so long.

Restoring antique toy fire trucks? Well that's a blog post for another day. Stay tuned!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Flapping Duck Push Toy

Watch this playful duck make a funny flapping sound when pushed forward or backward. Wooden push toy is classically styled, yet uniquely designed with entertaining motions and sounds to help advance gross motor skills and cognitive development with every step. Features wooden handle and non-skid wheels. Measures 21" x 9" x 6".
Customer Review: Difficult to Maneuver
This is a beautiful toy w/quality construction. However, it is a toddler toy. My toddler, who is a very coordinated and efficient walker can never manage the right angle to activate the "flapping" feature on this toy. It's becoming a source of great frustration to him because he knows from my demonstrations what it is capable of, but is unable to accomplish it himself. I think by the time he's old enough to get the right angle consistently, the novelty of pushing toys will have worn off.
Customer Review: Cute but Awkward
This is a beautifully made, old fashioned looking toy ... unfortunately, it's just not that easy to play with; as another reviewer noted, the wheels are very stiff, and it doesn't push easily. My son carried it around infrequently after we got it, but now it really just sits in the corner. It was a great prop for some portraits, though!


If you child is 'hounding' you for a pet, and it's just not possible to have a real dog, then you have got to get this pup. Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup is better than having a real dog. Biscuit comes already housebroken, and knows six commands, and even recognizes your child's voice. This adorable pup will have your child happily occupied for hours!

Biscuit comes with a collar, tag, brush, doggie 'bone' and an adoption certificate and your child can go online and register Biscuit for her very own. Your child will be amazed as Biscuit obeys commands including sit, shake, beg, speak, and lie down. Ask Biscuit if he wants a treat, and he'll nod his head and whimper to let you know he wants it, then he'll sniff it and 'chomp' it-just like a real pup!

This lovely dog robot has the capability to keep your child entertained for hours as Biscuit learns her voice, and your child learns Biscuit's 'tricks'. Just pet him on his head, and the little puppy moves his ears, head, and eyes, and wags his tail and barks. Pet Biscuit's upper back for 3 seconds, and he will either lie down, if he's sitting-or sit up, if he's lying down; pet his nose, and the little dog robot sniffs; touch the puppies left paw, and he'll lift it and 'shake'. If you scratch him under his ears, he'll tilt his head toward you and move his ears, and make happy, contented sounds. If you keep scratching the cute plush toy for 3 seconds, the puppy will sit up and beg.

Biscuit My Lovin Pup is the most innovative toy invented for 2008; he's even been on YouTube! With life-like sounds and actions and the capability to recognize voices, Biscuit will easily win your child's heart and possibly even yours! You may even think he's real! For your child, having Biscuit around can be better than having a real 'pup' - you don't have to walk him, or worry about vet visits or leaving him alone; he can be quiet at night and not disturb the neighbors; and Biscuit can even travel with you child without making a 'mess'.

This robot plush puppy toy is even great for children who would really love to have a pet and has allergies to animal fur; you can feel comfortable having Biscuit snuggle with your child.

With Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup, your child will find the 'best friend' every child wants; and you will have a peace of mind knowing your child has a pup to call her very own.

RC Toy Electric Flying Saucer UFO WIth Lighting

This Flying Saucer is very easy to fly and hovers at great heights. Comes with a built-in rechargable battery. No assembly required. Ready to FLY!
Customer Review: HUGE FUN!!
This thing is HUGE and so much fun! VERY DURABLE! Easier to land than the microfly.....my husband loves it!
Customer Review: Died on its first landing --- DO NOT BUY
My daughter was so excited when we took out the saucer and started flying it. We squeezed the trigger and it went up about 8 feet, then we relaxed the trigger and it plummeted to the floor and the propeller broke. We tried gluing it back together but that didn't work. My daughter was really upset until we read other reviews where the same thing happened. Save yourself the money. Save the aliens from getting stranded on Earth! Get a different toy.


The LEGO Star Wars Death Star II is a great representation of the second Death Star that was seen in the third Star Wars Movie Installment- Return Of The Jedi. It was stationed just off of the atmosphere of Endor where it was being reconstructed from being destroyed after the massive offensive attack from the Rebel Alliance. Like wise, the LEGO version of the Death Star II is built to represent the same reconstructive state.

The box that the LEGO Death Star comes in weighs over 17 lbs. and consist of 3,417 pieces. This isn't your typical LEGO set that I grew up with when I was young. This set is designed for serious LEGO enthusiast who have a knack for a serious LEGO challenge. Many people report taking up to 3 solid weeks of construction building it and that's at a fast pace. I wouldn't recommend getting this LEGO set if you don't have any experience building LEGO's. It's fun but takes time to construct so be sure to pace yourself because many people report having some stumbling blocks along the way.

The cost of the Death Star II ranges from $250-$450 depending on where you get it from and the availability. If you are planning on getting the LEGO death Star II for yourself or someone who you feel is deserving enough for one, then be sure to check out my site for the best price on one because I know where to find one at the lowest price and you can only get one by purchasing it online.

Whether your an admiring Star Wars buff, a LEGO enthusiast, or someone somewhere in between then I highly recommend picking one of these up. I bought one for my cousin about 1 week ago and you'd be surprised at how big this thing is. Be sure to organize your pieces because at over 3,400 pieces to contend with, you better be sure you cover all the organization bases.

This classic LEGO set is the perfect addition to any LEGO universe and would make an excellent gift for anyone brave enough to take on the ultimate Planetary Destroyer. So go ahead and take the LEGO Star Wars Death Star II challenge. I dare you to finish it in one piece.

Laura Timberlake has been writing and reviewing children toys for 3 years now and regularly writes on several other related topics as well.

This fabulous wooden push toy are classically styled, yet uniquely designed with entertaining movement and sound to promote agility, balance and exercise and help advance gross motor skills and cognitive development with every step!

Customer Review: clapping elephant toy
The toy is well made, but was not very much fun for an active one year old. It did not roll very well, nor did it make a very loud sound. The little boy who owns the toy picked it up and used it as a club because it was so light weight. I was disappointed.
Customer Review: Not so much
The elephant is much smaller than expected. The sound it makes when pushed is so tiny, as to not be noticed by a child in a room with other sounds. We were disappointed that our gift had so little impact on our grand-daughter.


Most economists do not expect the U.S. economy will go through a depression related to the credit-crisis-mortgage-meltdown-bailout bonanza. However, a recession appears to be a certainty.

At a time like this, not many people may feel like it's a good time to start their own business. However, many of them may not have a choice. Indeed, a recession spells bad news for employees in the corporate America. Recent surveys show that a large number of corporations plan to lay off workers in the next 12 months.

This economic situation creates an opportunity for workers who are laid off or who do not wish to end up in that situation to start their own business. Buying a franchise may be the safest way to do that. Despite the economic ups and downs thee are several franchise sectors that are, if not recession proof, then recession resistant.

Here's a look at franchise sectors with particular resilience:

Tax and Accounting Services: Death and taxes are a certainty and bad economic times increase desire to wisely account for every last dollar.

Education: Even in the current slowdown, parents desire a better future for their kids and are still will to invest in it.

Entertainment: As an example, during the Great Depression, the movie industry boomed as people craved escapism and had time to burn. That would very likely be the same today for film and as well as other inexpensive entertainment options.

Home, car, commercial, and industrial repair: In a bad economy, the rule is - don't replace, repair. It doesn't just go for you and your 12-year-old sedan or your leaky toilet. In a recession, consumers and businesses will more often opt to repair than replace.

Senior services: There's a wide range of industries and fields that will most likely continue to benefit from baby boomers getting older, including senior housing, home retrofitting, geriatric care management.

Temporary Employment Services: In a shaky economy, companies often opt to hire someone on a part time basis instead of increasing their permanent payroll and benefits budgets.

Hair Care: With many hair care franchises available, competition is fierce. However, regardless of the economy people still need their hair cut.

In addition to that, there are always low cost franchise options available in other industries. In a down economy people will always be looking to cut their expenses, from phone services to gym memberships.

If you decide to embark on the process of buying a franchise, or simply have some general questions, please do not hesitate to contact Andre Chernih, Top Franchise Consulting at andre@findtopfranchise.com

TRIPLE H & UMAGA WWE JAKKS ACTION FIGURE TOY 2 PACK

BRAND NEW WWE JAKKS TOY FIGURES.


Although it seems as though the Muppet character of Elmo has been around forever, he was "born" in the early 1970's. For many years he was only a background character and wasn't given much exposure or air time. Almost 15 years after his creation, 1984, talented puppeteer Kevin Clash gave him new "life" and so began his rise to the high level of popularity that surrounds Elmo today. How popular is Elmo? To say that he's very popular would be a serious understatement, and the Elmo Live reviews definitely show how much critics love this doll.

He's so popular that many of the Elmo Live reviews predict that holiday sales eventually prove it to be more popular than the craze that followed the creation of the Tickle Me Elmo doll back in 1996. Although a relatively young character compared to original Sesame Street stars like Big Bird or the Cookie Monster, Elmo has risen to an arguably higher prominence. Several generations of children have grown up with Elmo and every day, more children become fans, but more importantly, they see Elmo as their friend. Elmo has a high pitched voice and speaks in third person. Beginning sentences with phrases such as "Elmo thinks" or "Elmo likes", many preschoolers seem to associate with his awkwardness and behavior unlike any of the adults that they know. This bond that he shares with younger children is obviously part of the reason why so many of them consider him a close friend.

According to one Elmo Live review, the new toy is a considerable improvement over the original Tickle Me Elmo doll sold back in 1996. With a much larger vocabulary and a greater range of movement, Elmo Live surpasses the original doll by a long shot. Elmo Live sings, laughs, and tells jokes. He can "stand up" and he can even introduce himself to you. One Elmo Live review said if you squeeze his nose, back, tummy, foot, or simply tickle him, you can get his attention. Children, of course, can easily do this and they always love the attention that Elmo Live will give them. He's their best friend and they will probably be able to spend hours of fun playing with him.

During the height of his popularity in the late 1990's, Elmo actually went on a speaking tour and made appearances on NBC's the Today show and the daytime talk show Ellen. The studio audiences were packed with children and their parents who were all there to see a simple puppet talk, since and dance a little. A Puppet! Very few if any of the other Sesame Street characters ever experienced such a strong following. Kids couldn't get enough of Elmo back then and they still can't get enough of him today. If you collect Elmo Live reviews from children on who have actually seen the toy, you'd get an overwhelmingly favorable response.

One Elmo Live review indicates this toy is more than an upgrade to the original Tickle Me Elmo doll. He's a significant step or leap closer to having the "real" Elmo in your home, playing with your child. They already know him and they're already his friend. Bring Elmo Live into your home and make your child's dream come true. In fact, according to most Elmo Live reviews, with advanced animatronic parts that help bring Elmo Live come to life through various movements and a wide range of vocal sayings, you might actually forget that the real Elmo isn't even real at all. The puppeteers who give life to the Muppets have always been able to get us to forget that what we're watching are often nothing more than wood, metal, and furry cloth. The Elmo Live doll has the same ability to help you forget, except instead it being on television, he'll be right in your very own home. This connection between Elmo and young children is part of the magic, and part of the reason why he's been an enduring friend for the last 30 years. Every Elmo Live review points to the fact that this is going to be the hottest Christmas toy of the year. Don't ignore it.

Please visit us to learn more about elmo live.

Water Rocket, Classic Science Toy!

This plastic model rocket (with a mean '50's Sci-Fi/Retro look) can fly up to 100 feet using only water and air pressure as "rocket fuel". Set comes complete with 8" rocket, air pump and fuel feeder. Adult supervision is recommended. -- Where's the Science? -- A water rocket employs a compressed gas to accelerate water through its nozzle as a means of propulsion. The water inside the motor is essentially stationary and is accelerated to the velocity at the nozzle expressed by Bernoulli's equation: P = ½ pV2(the two is squared).
Customer Review: Use your imagination and impress your kids: Don't buy this.
Get some 2 litre plastic coke bottles and some corks at craft store. Use a bicycle pump with a needle (for balls). Experiment filling the bottle with different amount of water and let your kids take turns holding the bottle: It takes off and somebody holding or pumping always gets wet! It will shoot anywhere from 40-80+ feet in the air. Excellent experiment and it teaches kids you can INVENT rather than buy (lazy) fun toys. You will have hours of fun and be the kids hero. We did this in the front yard and met new neighbors (and kids) with the attention we drew. Good luck. Chaz.
Customer Review: Good for little kids but....
If you want to play/learn from some amazing water rocketry and have a ton of fun at the same time this toy probably isn't the best choice. Its good for young kids. If you want a more sophisticated water bottle launcher then check out the one on ebay under "soda bottle rocket launcher". There is also a link to youtube showing a little of what this launcher can do. This launcher holds bottles at 120 psi and sends them screaming into the air when you pull the release cord. The launcher comes in a kit and all you have to supply is the materials for designing rockets. Some common tools are needed for assembly. I purchased this thing and it is quite impressive...and affordable too!!! I highly recommend this one if you want high flying rockets and durability!


In the world of franchising often be franchise outlet or franchisee will wish to sell their rights under the franchise agreement to another party. Since this is a common occurrence amongst franchisees it makes sense to have a clearly defined franchise agreement, which addresses potential or problematic transfers. A franchisor may wish to have a clause in the franchise agreement, which actually prohibits certain types of franchise transfers. And there might be a number of reasons for this. Below is a clause that I put into our franchise agreements all prohibited transfers;

5.2.6 Prohibited Transfers

For purposes of this Section 5.2, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Franchisors withholding of consent will be considered reasonable if the proposed sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance is to an individual, company, or business entity that Franchisor deems in Franchisors sole opinion to be a competitor of Franchisors or a competitor of any affiliate of Franchisors or a competitor of any sister or co-brand company of Franchisors or a competitor of a vendor of Franchisors, another franchisor, another sub-franchisor, master franchise of another system or a Franchisee of another system which has an affiliate company that is a competitor of Franchisors. Any purported assignment without the prior written consent of Franchisor will be null and void and will constitute a material default under this Agreement.

--- ---- --- ----

A franchise or would be well advised to have a similar clause in their franchise agreement. And I recommend that they consult with an experienced and knowledgeable franchisee an attorney who is a specialist. And explain to that franchise attorney their entire business model so that indeed they can come up with the best clause in the franchise agreement to address this issue. I hope you will consider this in 2006.

Pokemon Toy Plush Throw Poke Ball Diamond and Pearl Series 7 Eevee




When you are ready to buy your grandchild or child a Train Toy, the decision must be made as to which is the correct set to purchase. And believe me there are a plethora of options available for buying Toy Train Sets, such as the Mark Toy Train, Toy Train Cars and the Lionel Toy Train. These delightful railroad sets come with a plastic, wood or solid metal chassis, molded-in tracks, or HO Gauge Tracks, which by the way is the most popular scale of Model Trains. Thus your choices are practically endless and infinitely interesting. Some even have battery packs that enable the engine to have a headlight and thus can also showcase illuminated cars as they roll along on the tracks.

Selections vary from Toy Wood Train Plans Sets that mirror reality in a perfectly precise manner to perhaps pre-molded-in plastic tracks and non-removable bridges thus preventing loss of vital pieces or derailed engines, because children are notorious for losing important pieces of their Train Toys Sets. Thus this will halt the endless searches for parts, which become rather tedious for the adult. Keep in mind when making your choices, that having to re-assemble tracks is even more tiresome.

Various Train Sets are large enough for two or more children to play with, while several of them may be limited to one child at a time. Small children under 45 pounds may delight in a child-sized Toy Train that rides either on the tracks provided, or even without the tracks. This amazing plaything even has realistic electronic sounds to accompany the engine as it travels about which will undoubtedly spark the exciting imagination of all children.

If you or your child is a collector you'll especially appreciate the various HO Gauge Sets available. Many of these come precisely detailed with illuminated cars, handcrafted chassis and even steel alloy wheels. Various sets are heirloom quality and come with their own certificates of authenticity.

Hobbyists who evidence an interest in Model Railroad Kits will be immensely pleased with the rich variety that can be done with some simple research on the Internet, as there is an enormous assortment of models, kits and other HO Scale supplies. These supplies can range from trees, bushes, working railway crossings, railroad stations, people, cars, and trucks to name just a few of the endless possibilities, which is why they call this a hobby right?

Some of the more extraordinary items are scenic mini highways for cars used in the model railway, and even animal circus cars filled with movable exotic animals. There are tiny little streetlights and even minuscule light bulbs made to scale. The paramount point to be made is to be as realistic as possible. Also the Train Toy collector will marvel as to what's also available from ordinary people who make these tiny items by hand at home and sell them online.

Interestingly enough one of the reasons why the HO Scale Train Toy is so popular is that its parts are not small enough for a child to accidentally swallow, thereby affording some peaceful solace to parents and grandparents who buy model railroads for children. Regardless of what you are seeking to complete your model railway, it's there on the Internet for you. All that's left is to wish you the best of luck and creativity!

Wild West sheriff badge toy game NEW

Shiny Metal with Black lettering Sheriff Badge.


Ride on toys gained popularity in the 1950's and 1960's and became favorites for many children growing up during this time. Classic riding toys were made of wood or metal, many times from very sturdy materials such as steel. The ride on toys of this era resembled the latest automobiles and airplanes, and there were always wagons and tricycles.

The original ride on toys were made of much more durable materials than the ride on toys of today, although some of the materials such as steel also meant that the toys were not as safe as the ones made today. Sometimes classic ride on toys also contained lead paint, which was not identified as a hazard until years later. Even though antiques ride on toys didn't have all the safety features of the ones today, they can still make great presents with a new finish.

Many craftsmen specialize in repairing and restoring antique ride on toys and restore them so that they are safe for use. If you are a handy person, you can also find antique toys at auctions, yard sales, and vintage shops that you can restore yourself. Some crafters make new ride on toys that resemble older models and are made of similar high quality materials such as wood. This is a good way to get a classic ride on toy that you know is safe and durable. Artisans will sell their classic riding toys at craft shows, vintage toy shops, and online. If you want your child or grandchild to experience the fun of a classic riding toy, you can either get them a restored antique or a new ride on toy that resembles the ones from your childhood.

Whether you buy a restored antique ride on toy or a newly manufactured one, make sure that they meet current safety requirements. Toys should not contain lead paint, which is usually not a problem for toys that are newly manufactured or for antiques that have been refurbished. Some of the most durable materials used in antique ride on toys such as steel, are not the safest materials and have been replaced by lightweight yet durable metals. Most modern ride on toys and refurbished classic toys have rubber pedals for a non slip finish as well as non slip rubber tires. Padded seats and non toxic paints are also safety features of new and refurbished ride on toys.

Ride on toys whether they are antiques or modern replicas make great gifts for young children. Most children love ride on toys and will have hours of fun riding, pretending, and letting their imaginations soar. There are many different ride on toy designs, from cars and trucks to airplanes and even boats. Some ride on toys have pedals and others are just scooted along by the child's feet. You should consider the age and ability of the child you are buying for when you decide which type on ride on toy is right for them. Classic ride on toys are gifts that will be loved by children and appreciated by parents.

This year, 2008, has been a good one for the toy industry, perhaps largely because many of this years top toys have a very wide appeal base-so wide, in fact, that some of the top toys 2008 are not strictly kids toys. Rather, this year features many games and products that just about anyone who is a kid at heart will enjoy, as well as several staples of familiar best toys.

In fact, considered by many to be the best on the top toys 2008 list, the Air Hogs Havoc Heli Laser Battle is not just for kids at all. The fact is, people of all ages love to fly remote-control vehicles, and these small copters are perfect for both experts and novices. There have even been reports of children as young as two being able to successfully fly this favorite toy, and to add to its appeal, of course, the helicopters do more than fly. They make realistic battle noises, and are designed for the two player controlled vehicles to interact in the air. Perhaps one reason this top has been so popular is the fact that it appeals to many parents almost as much as to their children.

In fact, this logic carries through with other top toys 2008. Many of the best toys for any year become so because not only do children like and want them, parents want to buy the product. As parents always like to buy toys that instill learning and basic skills in their young children, some of the top toys for this year are highly educational, such as the Smart Cycle Physical Learning Arcade, produced by Fisher-Price. Everyone knows kids like being active, movies, and video games, so by combining all of these skills into an exercise bike video arcade kids get to work on their motor coordination while also learning some pre-school lessons such as abc's, numbers, colors, and shapes. For a similar reason, this year a specialty toy, Snap Circuits, has actually emerged as one of the top toys 2008. With the emphasis on learning it is easy to understand the appeal of an electric circuit board for older children, allowing them to experiment in a safe and fun way with one of the world's most powerful and interesting forces.

While perhaps the largest number of the top toys 2008 attract a varied group of people, some of the best kids toys will always appeal more specifically to young boys or girls. This year the top girls toys are the Littlest Pet Shop: Display and Play Round and Round Pet Town Playset and the Troop Groovy Girls, which is a line of dolls based after the girl scouts. Similarly, the top toys 2008 also contain several popular toys for little boys, such as the Transformer Movie Deluxe Set. As you can see, this years most popular toys are sure to appeal to just about everyone in your family, not just the kids. After all, playing should be about learning and bonding with one's family.

WowWee Alive Lion Cub Plush Robotic Toy in Tan

Introducing the first friends in a new series of lifelike cubs from WowWee Alive. With super-soft fur and a totally realistic look, this cuddly cub gives little lion lovers a true-to-life experience. Pick him up by the scruff of the neck and watch his legs go limp, just like a real cub being carried by his mother. Requires 4 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 16" long.
Customer Review: animatronic
The lion cub is very cute. We actually bought it as a family present. One eye is missing a sliver of hard material that helps to keep the eye open. We considered sending it back but decided it gives 'her' character and makes her different from all the others. So we don't mind that one eye is a little more closed. But my kids quit playing with her after a few days and went back to their inanimate, cuddly stuffed animals that they've been dragging around everywhere for years. Also, we have a lot of real animals and a robotic one does not compete very well with that. But overall it is a very sweet, cute concept.
Customer Review: WowWee Alive Cub
My daughter loves this cub. She carries it around and treats it as if it were alive. A couple of times I thought she was hurting my cat and it was actually the alive cub. I highly recommend this toy, it is adorable.


My husband and I attended our church's Christmas party and they had a Chinese Gift Exchange. It was a lot of fun. Here are the rules:

1. Everyone brings a wrapped gift of the same cost (it's a good idea for some to bring an extra wrapped gift, in case someone forgets or doesn't know to bring one). At our party, they set the gift cost at a minimal $5. You could even choose to do gifts that don't cost anything... like handmade gifts, or trinkets you would like to pass on, being sure that they are nice and would be appreciated... no junk allowed. The main thing is to try and keep values the same.

2 Arrange all the gifts in a central area, being sure there is enough gifts for everyone there.

3. Count how many people are there; if there are 18 people, number 18 slips of paper 1-18 and place them in a bag.

4. Have someone bring the bag of numbered slips of paper around to each person and have them draw one number from the bag.

5. To start the exchange, have the person who drew #1 pick a gift and unwrap it. #2 can either take #1's gift, or pick a wrapped gift to unwrap. The exchange continues consecutively, each person being able to take a gift from any previous exchangers, or a new wrapped gift until all have gifts. If your gift gets taken, you can then take a new wrapped gift, or take someone else's, but not the one that was taken away from you. The exchange continues in this manner until everyone has a gift. Because #1 didn't have the opportunity to take a gift from another person, they have the choice to exchange their gift with anyone in the room after everyone has gifts.

6. Any one gift can only be 'taken' 3 times. For example, there was a mini Mag-Lite flashlight gift that all the guys wanted. They decided to let the 2nd elderly gentleman keep it, but if it had been taken away from him (3rd time), that person would have been able to keep it.

This is a lot of fun because of the variety of gifts. Because I knew there were going to be males and females, I looked for a gift that either one would appreciate, however, what makes the game funny is when a male gets a gift that a female would appreciate more, or vice versa. This is what inspires people to take another person's gift and produces lots of laughs! So there really is no need to buy gender specific gifts. Of course, you could imply a non-gender gift rule if you wish, to be sure everyone gets something they like, and it would still be fun.

Have a blessed Christmas!
