Muppets!

January 25, 2012

We recently saw the new movie, The Muppets (Loved It! Grown-ups and kids alike!). I am really hoping that this movie sparks a craze for all things Muppet. If you, or someone you love, is crazy for a particular Muppet did you know that you can have you very own plush version? My longtime favorite, [...]

The Most Beautiful Blocks

December 6, 2011

Blocks are such a basic toy that I think they get overlooked. But they are, in my humble opinion, the most versatile toy there is and crucial for proper development. If there was a law passes that every baby came home from the hospital with one toy, I would vote for that toy to be [...]

Not just toy storage bins, but the most beautiful toy storage bins I have ever seen. And they are organic, did I mention that? Beautiful, organic toy storage.

Stuffed Animal Storage

October 19, 2011

We have a bit of a stuffed animal storage problem at Chez Toy Report. The fluffy overpopulation is reaching problem status. There is a huge wooden chest filled with stuffed animals upstairs, boxes in the attic, an empty duvet cover filled with them downstairs, and all the current favorites on the beds, of course. Now, [...]

Pirate Dress-up

September 21, 2011

Continuing our celebration of International Talk like a Pirate Day, we shall explore our pirate dress up options. I love this Alex Pirate tent. While it isn’t technically dress-up, it does provide a home base for the pretend play that goes along with dress-up. And have you seen it? Adorable! As for dress-up clothes – [...]
