February 1, 2012

I am always on the lookout for the coolest nightlights and look what the awesome people at boon made for us? In addition to its sexy space-age look, the glowing balls can be removed from the base and taken wherever you need a little light (just a little, the word on the street is that [...]

Collectable muppet toys

January 27, 2012

Have you heard of the Vinylmation figures? They are these little (3 inches) vinyl toys inspired by the Disney theme parks and collected by many. I am newly enamored of them, I think they are adorable and I love the element of surprise. When you order them you get blind box, meaning you don’t know [...]

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 [...]

A Favorite Doll House

December 5, 2011

I adore doll houses. I can’t get enough of them. We have two and I would have more if I could justify the space they take up. I just saw this one, The Tutti-Frutti house by Le Toy Van and I am coveting just a little. It is wooden, just about two feet tall and [...]

Viking Toys

I know. There are never any viking toys around when you need them! It may seem odd for a kid to be into vikings, but really, it’s no weirder than pirates. And pirate toys are everywhere! So say hello to Sven the viking. Hello Sven! He is mostly wood and is about 4” tall. Doesn’t [...]

Toy Storage Bins

November 11, 2011

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. It is like a non-denominational holiday miracle. They are made by 3 Sprouts, a small company made up of people with serious design street cred, and it [...]

Our Favorite Scooter – Now In Awesome New Colors!

November 10, 2011

I haven’t checked in with our favorite scooters in a while – our Kickboard USA mini-kick scooters are still, years later, in great shape and they see plenty of use. But I happened to notice that they now come in some awesome new colors. The mini-kick scooters are really the best scooter for little kids [...]

Pretend Pita Pocket

October 20, 2011

You may not know this about me, but I am always on the lookout for unusual or interesting play food. The princess has spent many, many hours playing with our pretend food collection, starting when she was about 18 months old and still going strong at 4 and a half. Well, I just stumbled upon [...]

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, [...]
