Greetings from Amazon.com Delivers Toys for Ages 5-7 Years Editor, Rachel Radway FEATURED IN THIS E-MAIL: * Stuff We Love: Armadillo Puppet, Brick by Brick Stacking Puzzle, and Tonka Mighty Front Loader * Kooky Costumes for Halloween * Toys that Teach: Story Time Card Game, Saxoflute, and 100x, 300x, 600x Microscope * Toys Under $20: Outer Space Marker Case, Centaurus Megazord Action Zord, and Where the Wild Things Are Puzzle Maze Game STUFF WE LOVE ************* Armadillo Puppet (Ages 3 and older) by Folkmanis http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000K2I5/entertainmentsit This little charmer just might bring your shy child out of her shell. Folkmanis's wonderful plush armadillo occasionally does roll up into a ball (which can be fastened with Velcro), but otherwise happily roams where you'd like him to go. Young puppeteers can put on a show without even showing their own faces--hands can make all four feet and adorable head move simultaneously (though very small hands might need some help). Brick by Brick Stacking Puzzle (Ages 7 and older) by Binary Arts http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IRY1/entertainmentsit If you have a child who's constantly taking things apart just to see if he can get 'em back together, give him this puzzle and you just might save your cell phone (at least for a while). Particularly engaging for the spatially inclined, the puzzle consists of five brick-like pieces and a set of cards with various designs. Build the wall sections on the cards and then move on to create some of your own. You just might discover an architect or builder in your midst. Tonka Motorized Searchlight Truck (Ages 4 to 6) by Funrise Toys http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IZMK/entertainmentsit This big red number is sure to please--it's got a siren, it's got engine noises, and it's got a huge yellow searchlight that rotates and flashes on and off. Even better, it actually moves! Tonka's Motorized Searchlight Truck is a great toy for encouraging creative play: it can be used by young truckers for everything from search-and-rescue missions to sending their own version of the Bat signal up into the sky. KOOKY COSTUMES FOR HALLOWEEN **************************** We know kids change their minds about a hundred times before the night arrives, so we've tried to provide the widest assortment of costumes possible--from Pikachu to Punkin', we've got it here.

Toys for Ages 5-7 years TOYS THAT TEACH *************** Story Time Card Game (Ages 3 to 6) by Educational Design http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IS9L/entertainmentsit Storytelling is a special gift, but it's also a skill that can be developed and refined over the course of a lifetime. This wonderful game challenges children to search for logical relationships among a series of illustrated playing cards and then to describe the sequence of events shown. The individual cards also inspire stories on their own--in no time your child could be spinning yarns a mile long (great practice for cocktail parties a bit further down the road). Saxoflute (Ages 2 to 8) by International Playthings http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J072/entertainmentsit What if you could design your very own musical instrument? What would it look like? What color would it be? International Playthings asked themselves those questions and made music fun and accessible to everyone with this easy-to-use (albeit funny-looking) toy. Pick up the red, yellow, blue, and green pieces of the Saxoflute--some of which have tone holes, to change pitch--and connect them however you like, then blow. You'll soon be ready for symphony auditions with your colorful designer instrument. 100x, 300x, 600x Microscope (Ages 5 and older) by Educational Insights http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000ISX2/entertainmentsit The next time you hear "So what's it really made of?" just hand over this microscope and let them find out for themselves. For kids just beginning to discover that the world is a fascinating place, learning firsthand about what makes things tick is of the utmost importance. This beginner's microscope--with a few prepared slides and a few for specimens they collect--is a great place to start. TOYS UNDER $20 ************** Create & Carry: Outer Space Marker Case (Ages 3 to 10) by Crayon Factory http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J3WA/entertainmentsit Artists and designers know that what they carry their gear in makes almost as much of a personal statement as their work itself. The hip outer space motif on this deluxe carrying case will tip off observers--the designs contained within will be out of this world. The intergalactic set includes jumbo markers, star and planet stickers, a pencil, an eraser, a sharpener, a sketchpad, and an inside pocket to protect stellar artwork. Centaurus Megazord Action Zord (Ages 4 to 8) by Bandai http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JBI7/entertainmentsit The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers bring out the Megazords to defeat their enemies in The Lost Galaxy. The 5-inch Centaurus Megazord, an enormous robot made of five red assault vehicles, can help your child vanquish the forces of evil when the Power Rangers are not at hand. The figure is fully posable and features a rocket launcher with a silver shaft that fires via a unit on its back. Where the Wild Things Are Puzzle Maze Game (Ages 4 and older) by Briarpatch http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000K2G1/entertainmentsit Fans of Maurice Sendak's award-winning book will especially appreciate this beautifully illustrated and cleverly designed game. Actually three games in one, it allows children to work together to create interesting mazes with path, stream, and vine puzzle pieces, or to compete by building individual mazes in a race to the finish line. There's also a Where the Wild Things Are version of dominoes.
