STUFF WE LOVE
*************
Jefferson Jet Beanbag Chair (Ages 3 and older)
by The Manhattan Toy Company
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000K0K2/entertainmentsit
This wonderful soft-sculpture seat from The Manhattan Toy
Company provides an ideal vehicle for imaginary journeys to
anywhere--or a comfy resting spot for a quiet read. It's
also very portable, so flights of fancy can take off from
any room in the house.

Alphabert the Ready to Read Robot (Ages 4 to 9)
by Vtech
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IS0G/entertainmentsit
Alphabert is an eager and able companion for kids who need
encouragement to plunge into the world of reading and
spelling. This brightly colored "junior computer" has a
range of activities designed to teach and reinforce
spelling, reading, and phonics skills. It also includes fun
stuff such as a music feature and a game of hangman.

Chloe Cow Plush Purse (Ages 3 and older)
by Wildkin
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J4OJ/entertainmentsit
Not only is Chloe one classy cow, but young ladies going out
on the town--or even to Grandma's house for the day--will
also find her plenty useful. She'll hold all kinds of
necessities in her back pocket, and she easily transforms
from hand-held purse to shoulder bag with a remooovable
strap.


GOOFY GAMES
***********
Some of the games in this collection have something to teach
and some are just plain silly, but all are guaranteed to get
kids laughing, yelling, pounding, and having a generally
gleeful time. We wouldn't recommend these for pre-naptime
play...

TOYS THAT TEACH
***************
Scannin' Talkin' Check-Out Center (Ages 2 to 6)
by Fisher-Price
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IZT3/entertainmentsit
Although children may enjoy riding in your shopping cart or
helping you unpack it, a lot of the interesting stuff occurs
at the check-out counter--often above their eye level. With
Fisher-Price's Scannin' Talkin' Check-Out Center, kids can
take charge and learn firsthand about commerce by weighing
produce, scanning groceries, ringing up sales, and even
accepting discount coupons before bagging it all up and
sending customers on their way.

Noah's Ark Puppet and Pals: Noah with Dove (Ages 1 to 12)
by Crocodile Creek
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IZLF/entertainmentsit
Based on the illustrations from Lucy Cousins's children's
book, "Noah's Ark," this lovingly made hand puppet from
Crocodile Creek can be as educational as it is cute. The
dove in Noah's front pocket can be attached to his hand with
Velcro before it takes "flight" to scour the earth for a
piece of dry land. Use the puppet as a foundation for
teaching biblical stories or let him star in newly imagined
adventures.

ABC Read More About Me (Ages 6 to 10)
by Alex Toys
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IRPB/entertainmentsit
What more fascinating subject could there be than kids
themselves? With that thought, young writers and artists
will waste no time gathering information about themselves
and then writing, constructing, and decorating their
autobiographies. Alphabet-themed information sheets
reinforce basic skills while encouraging children to both
learn more about and document their family backgrounds.


TOYS UNDER $20
**************
Zoobits (Ages 4 and older)
by International Playthings
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J0DX/entertainmentsit
It may sound like a new cereal brand, but Zoobits is far
better than that--it's a set of cardboard animal parts that
children can mix and match to their hearts' delight,
creating new species the likes of which the world has never
seen. The 56 interchangeable pieces include bits of giraffe,
baboon, lion, toucan, zebra, and elephant in the form of
bodies, heads, legs, and tails.

Bendos Burly the Strongman Action Figure (Ages 4 to 8)
by Kid Galaxy, Inc.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JZ9T/entertainmentsit
If you haven't yet met the Bendos clan, introduce yourself
to Burly, the smiling strongman, and move on from there.
Nonviolent and thoroughly posable, Bendos are a new breed of
action figure that will appeal to every age group. These
friendly and active characters can serve as positive role
models as they scuba dive, rock climb, pilot jets, chase
villains, and save lives, among other things. Plus, you can
twist 'em, turn 'em, and take 'em wherever you go. What more
could you ask of an action figure?

Secret Treasure Box (Ages 6 to 10)
by International Playthings
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J0F5/entertainmentsit
Everyone needs a place to call their own--even if it's
simply a small storage space for treasured possessions. This
Secret Treasure Box from International Playthings is special
because kids can personalize it with paints and fun wooden
shapes.
