T S Shure Pirates of the High Seas Wooden Magnetic Action Heroes




Like the T S Shure Teeny Tiny Quadruplets Wooden Magnetic Dress-Up Dolls, this Pirates of the High Seas Wooden Magnetic Action Heroes set is filled with lots of creative fun. It has all the bearings a pirate needs, a colourful outfit, map, sword, hook for a hand, treasure chest to find and a wooden leg for an original day. Both the pirates come with a dress already stuck on, so you get an idea of how to deck them up, before they can get ready for what Pirates do. Children can spend a good deal of time, matching the dresses and accessories. The figures will add a new dimension to that pirate story you are reading or a role play.

T.S.Shure Teeny Tiny Quadruplets Wooden Magnetic Dress-Up Dolls




T.S.Shure Teeny Tiny Quadruplets Wooden Magnetic Dress-Up Dolls

At first I thought, why quadruplets? But on second thought, its perfect for this age kids, who eye others toys. Since each one of the quadruplets comes with an identical set of gear for different occasions, it makes it perfect for divvying up and sharing. Coming to the packaging part, one set of doll and its related dresses all fit in a small ziploc bag. It is easy for sharing that way with other kids or you can make your own tiny travel set. Travel Light.
Without much ado, this toy is lots of fun with its mix and match dresses and shoes, that clip on to the main baby toy, magnetically. If a kid has color preference, you can sort them that way too.

T.S. Shure ArchiQuest Wooden Farm Blocks Playset & Storybook





I saw a picture book in the library with a farm theme, and magnetic pieces at the back. In T.S. Shure ArchiQuest Wooden Farm Blocks, its the well done blocks that steal the show. The picture book, though tiny and too wordy, is very helpful in assembling the blocks for nice stories. There are so many blocks that you dont have to play with them all at once. You can split them into the farm animals sections one day and the vegetables and plant sections the other day. At first, I thought that they could all be placed on the wooden board at once, but that wont work. You will have to spread them on a mat for an elaborate story. The attractive wooden blocks will keep kids engaged with all the farm scenes vivid, right in front of them. studies have shown that blocks help kids in acquiring language faster.

Almost hypochondriac





As soon as I opened the package,I was amazed at the size of the doll. I saw the 'Try me' pointing to the stethescope. A gentle press led to a disco throb. The sick baby doubles as a beautiful doll as well as a great baby who knows whats wrong with her and asks the little mommy/doctor leading questions so she can be nursed back to feeling better. I didnt recognise the ear thermometer when I saw it. In that matter, the packaging was good with names of each of the instrument that the little doctor will need to make the baby feel better. I hadnt expected the sick baby's face to go red with fever. Luckily the insert had instructions on how to heal the baby with the medicine. Your little doctor can provide cure on the go with all his/her instruments that fit well into the doctor bag.
The sick baby talks in full sentences and struggles with words like stethescope and tongue depressor. A fun game that will teach the kids about identifying problems and solving them.

This is not going to hurt even a little bit



I see that many reviewers didnt like the noise but I am here to say its organic. The mixer drum rotates as the truck moves along and makes a noise with tiny bits of pieces moving inside. It works well on and off carpet. It is fun to drag along the truck with its vibrant colours and cute Ricky. With its size, kids will get a real feel of playing with a truck than with a tiny toy car. With the bollard, an enthusiastic parent can mimic the department of transportation realities by dynamically moving it and creating hurdles that your little tot will be challenged with in rerouting his/her journey and getting the cement mix in time to construct the awesome building. Wow, so now you have to come up with an imaginary road and a time limit for the task.
I also like the WOW line with its Lift it Luke, Dexter the digger, Dudley Dump truck, Roll it Riley. Now can I get them all in one?

Some time ago I had seen a kid play with stacked cups and I pointed out to the parents that the base of the cups had animals on it. only recently did I learn of the advantages of a stacking cups both as a play and educational toy.
These stacking cups are colourful, made from recycled milk jugs.
Not only do the cups have numbers on them based on their sizes but also add up in volume. Fun and math can go hand in hand when the kid can learn 1+2, 1+3, 1+4, 1+5, 2+3, 2+4 filling water or sand and emptying into bigger cups.
