STUFF WE LOVE
*************
Musical Ice Cream Cart (Ages 1 to 5)
by Playskool
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JBJG/entertainmentsit
Ice cream in October? This friendly-faced rig is stocked
with cool treats galore. It even lets kids scoop the sweet
stuff and place it in a cone. And no ice cream cart is
complete without the bells and whistles, so with the push
of a button, kids can hear a ringing bell or songs like
"London Bridge" and "Pop Goes the Weasel."

Talking Potty Dotty (Ages 3 to 8)
by Playmates
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IS1H/entertainmentsit
If you have a fledgling potty user in your life, let the
Talking Potty Dotty doll help your child learn by example.
After drinking a sippy cup of water, she lets you know
when she has to "go" and even proclaims "I'm a big girl"
when she's finished. This interactive toy puts kids in
control, which helps them understand the potty process.

Play-Doh Jungle Playset (Ages 3 and older)
by Hasbro
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IW1V/entertainmentsit
Answer the call of the wild with this grrreat Play-Doh
Jungle Playset, equipped with three cans of colorful
modeling compound, a treetop extruder, a crocodile trimmer
knife, four molding strips, seven creative mold shapes, and
a jungle base. Make the tree's branches or the lion's mane
grow for a wildly good time.


A LESSON IN PRETEND PLAY: A PUPPET SHOW
***************************************
Bring imaginary adventures, favorite stories, and your
child's creativity to life with a puppet show. Whether you
have one puppet or a dozen, it's a great way to spend a
rainy afternoon. After all, any production that stars *your*
child is the greatest show on earth, right? Don't miss our
collection of puppets and theaters that are guaranteed to
get two thumbs up from parents and preschoolers alike.

TOYS THAT TEACH
***************
Discovery Train (Ages 3 and older)
by Educational Insights
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IRND/entertainmentsit
The Discovery Train may be just the ticket for your little
conductor-in-training. It's a brightly colored
battery-powered locomotive with opportunities for skill
building at every stop. Children who love to take things
apart and put them back together will be thrilled that the
oversized smokestack pulls out to become a handy-dandy
screwdriver they can use for screwing (and unscrewing) the
bolts. All aboard!


TOYS UNDER $20
**************
What Time Is It? 24-piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Ages 3 to 6)
by Great American Puzzle Factory
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IS76/entertainmentsit
Extend learning play across space and time with this puzzle
featuring a colorful alarm clock and a busy time-telling
mouse. Kids can experiment by spinning the dials and arms of
the clock to adjust the days, months, time, dates, and
seasons.

Stacking Rings (Ages 3 to 5)
by Schylling
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IRTW/entertainmentsit
Build a rainbow again and again with this beautiful set of
wooden nontoxic stacking rings. Besides being classics,
stacking toys are also tools for early education--teaching
colors, counting, coordination, and creativity. No wonder
they're still a favorite.

Count Up (Ages 2 to 5)
by Edushape Ltd.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000ITP4/entertainmentsit
Just right for every stage of early development, this
colorful stacking toy is a great way for toddlers to build
hand-eye coordination and learn color identification and
counting skills. Using colored foam squares and graduated
sets of pegs in order from one to five, Count Up
introduces simple mathematical magic to your little one's
busy world.
