Make Friendship Bracelets

February 21, 2010

It’s amazing how some childhood traditions continue to last year after year and generation after generation, and friendship bracelets are one of those things.
I remember making friendship bracelets as a kid at camp and wearing ones given to me for months it seemed, until they finally fell off in pieces. Being a child of the [...]

Board Games For Kids – Enchanted Forest

February 4, 2010

We’ve been on a serious board game kick here at Chez Toy Report lately, with the boys really starting to become interested in playing tabletop games more and more as they get older.
Let’s face it, board games for toddlers are geared toward the 3-4 year old set. Any parent who has been forced to sit [...]

Toy Story LEGOs

January 8, 2010

Our boys are pretty exclusive to the Star Wars LEGOs, they aren’t as interested in the other sets. I imagine that will change once they see the Toy Story LEGOs that are being released to go along with Toy Story 3. I like the Woody’s Round Up set which also includes a LEGO Stinky Pete. [...]

The birthday girl in [...]

December 20, 2009

Know anyone who you could describe as an odd duck? Well, here is the perfect present for them. Yes, quite literally, and odd duck. Boon, as anyone who ready this site knows, is a minor obsession of mine (let’s just say I’m a fan). I am still hoping for a Boon animal bag or four [...]

Buzz Lightyear gets all the best toys

December 16, 2009

While looking at Toy Story toys I also came across this Hot Wheels Falling With Style play set (Falling with style may be the most frequently quoted line from Toy Story in our house). It features Buzz Lightyear (who does seem to get all the coolest toys – I don’t blame Woody for occasional jealousy) [...]

Have you seen the Toy Story Toys Pop-Open Play World?

December 14, 2009

Had never seen this until just a few minutes ago and I think I am in love! I was browsing Amazon from the comfort of my couch and dinosaur blankie when I spotted this play set.

The Toy Story pop-open play world (not just a play set, it is a play world). I must admit, it [...]

Not The Best Stuffed Animal Storage Options

August 10, 2009

I have already confessed my love for the boon animal bag in my Stuffed Animal Storage post. One of the reasons I love it so is that the stuffed animals don’t seem terribly miserable inside of it. Sure they get sat on, but any stuffed animal who has had some coveted time on the bed [...]

Stuffed Animal Storage

August 3, 2009

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

Sand Sac

June 23, 2009

I saw this on Cool Mom Picks last week. The Sand Sac is a 100% cotton pail that comes with a bamboo shovel (admittedly it looks more like a spoon but it will still shovel sand). It also comes with fabric markers so you can decorate yourself. It is such a perfect sand toy, especially [...]
