STUFF WE LOVE
*************
Sleeping Grump Game (Ages 4 to 7)
by Family Pastimes
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IUF9/entertainmentsit>
Children work as a team to rescue the treasure stolen from
the villagers by the Grump, who--showing very poor
judgment--has fallen asleep atop his beanstalk. Their
mission: to climb up, grab the gems, magic fruit, and golden
eggs, and escape with the loot. Simple enough--as long as
they don't wake up the Grump. Sleeping Grump is one of a
number of wonderful Family Pastimes board games that
emphasize cooperation over competition--a fun way to learn
that all that really matters is "how you play the game."

The Very Busy Cook Activity Set (Ages 4 to 7)
by Alex Toys
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IRKI/entertainmentsit>
Look out, Julia Child--here comes The Very Busy Chef. Junior
restaurateurs and gourmets-in-training will swoon over this
very professional-looking stainless steel cooking set,
complete with pint-sized toque. The set includes everything
needed to make a hearty meal--pots, pans, colander, mixing
and measuring spoons--and can actually be used to make
delicious dishes. But all cooking should be done under the
supervision of an adult head chef, of course.

Roller 2 Inline Skates (Ages 3 to 7)
by Fisher-Price
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IZZC/entertainmentsit>
Now here's an idea--a toy that grows with the child. These
great skates from Fisher-Price will see them through from
the "grab-onto-the-playground-fence-and-don't-let-go" stage
to "Bye, Mom, see you in a while," and they'll be stylin'
the whole time. Converting the skates from roller mode to
inline is even easier than taking the training wheels off
their first bike. They'll be asking to borrow the car keys
in no time.

ART & PLAY: TOYS THAT SPUR CREATIVITY
*************************************
Sure, it's fun to rip into the wrapping paper and play away.
But what could be more enthralling than making the toys
you're going to play with? These kits give free rein to
young imaginations--after they've designed and painted and
churned and looped, your kids can dream up endless
adventures starring their very own creations.

TOYS THAT TEACH
***************
Sea Horse Musical Instrument (Ages 2 to 7)
by Small World Toys
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IUTP/entertainmentsit>
Kids dance and sing their hearts out to your CDs and catchy
TV commercials. With this charming sea horse and its marine
companions, your kids can make their own music--and learn
about rhythm and coordination without even trying.

Feltkids Decorate & Play House Interactive Playbook (Ages 3
to 7)
by Learning Curve
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000ITZM/entertainmentsit>
When surveyed, two out of three homeowners agree that
decorating a house is at least half the fun of owning it.
Now your kids can make their house look exactly as they want
it to, with this Decorate & Play House Interactive Playbook
from Feltkids. Two-page spreads provide a foundation for
every room, and eager interior designers can place
furniture, curtains, ornaments, and even food, wherever they
please. The characters come with changes of clothes and
provide ample fuel for creative play.

View-Master: Discovery Channel Wild Safari Reel (Ages 4 to 8)
by Fisher-Price
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J0B9/entertainmentsit>
Fisher-Price and the Discovery Channel have teamed up to
bring your children into the middle of the African savanna
with the View-Master Wild Safari reels. The thrilling 3-D
slide show includes three disks full of photographs of
rhinos, elephants, zebras, impalas, and other species you'd
find on a typical Serengeti safari. Bits of information are
included with the photos, as are inset graphics with the
animals' relative sizes. Beware: your child may suddenly
develop an urgent need for a pet wildebeest.

TOYS UNDER $20
**************
An Amazing World of Dinosaurs Puzzle (Ages 6 and older)
by Anything's Puzzable
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IUHA/entertainmentsit>
Know any kids who are ready for both a challenge and an
education? This beautifully illustrated puzzle will take
children back to the age of these magnificent creatures.
A brief bio on the back of each dinosaur teaches each
one's name, size, relative age, and native habitat.
Kids will also have something they can be proud to hang on
the wall.

Matchbox 10-car Collector Set: Includes Helicopter &
Schoolbus (Ages 5 to 10)
by Mattel
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JI4C/entertainmentsit>
Start your collector off right with this set of classic
Matchbox vehicles, including a helicopter, school bus, 1970
Mustang, a member of the "Rough 'N' Tough" monster series,
and six more vehicles, each representing 1 of 10 Matchbox
collectible series.

Pound Puppies Ocean 3-pack: Whale, Otter and Tang (Ages 3 to 8)
by Hasbro
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JDLH/entertainmentsit>
Hasbro has extended their line of hugely popular Pound
Puppies to include these adorable creatures of the deep. The
whale, otter, and tang (or surgeonfish) come with an
adoption certificate, ready to be taken in by a loving
child. These plush marine animals are part of a larger group
of Pound Ocean playmates and are a great introduction to the
world of the sea.

PARENTS' PICK
*************
Nature Campsite Activity Set (Ages 3 to 6)
by Fisher-Price
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IZSR/entertainmentsit>
There's nothing like a roaring fire to keep you warm when
you're sleeping under the stars--even if the stars are on
the ceiling! Open this backpack and--voila--there's an
instant campsite, including a magical log-campfire, a
roasting stick with marshmallow, a hot dog and bun, and a
usable canteen. Our favorite features: the roasting stick
that makes crackling fire sounds, and glow-in-the-dark stars
to help little ones pretend they're truly out in the wild.
