We just bought the zoobs for my oldest (who is 4) for Christmas and cant wait to see what he thinks. The Magnatiles were a hit last year as well as Zingo! We're in the market for a marble run, too this year. My 4 year old is really into Legos (my husband is, too) and LOVES the Lego Heroica board games. He asks to play them at least once a day - they are games intended for older kids, but we've made up our own rules to fit his age - so if you're in the market for a new board game I recommend those!Art of Dealinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971055455223127711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-11135207290486763292012-11-27T12:04:21.624-05:002012-11-27T12:04:21.624-05:00Thanks Sarah!

I have a cute boardgame for you that every single one of my kids love (still). It's called Allowance Game and it's from the Toys To Grow On catalog/ website.

I just wanted to mention something to you about the "soccer guys" that Patrick likes... Did you know Playmobil has a soccer game?? It's AWESOME!! We bought it for my son years ago when he was 3. He's 9 and still loves playing with. It will be staying in our house forever. The soccer players feet are movable and "kick" the soccer ball so you can have a real match going on. Lots of fun! It's not a highly advertised item but still available. I have a feeling your kids would love it! :)Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085579493436412569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-82031949552666928312012-11-19T21:31:39.696-05:002012-11-19T21:31:39.696-05:00Does anyone know of a cute tea set for a 2 1/2 yea...Does anyone know of a cute tea set for a 2 1/2 year old little girl?

My little guy will be about 18 months at Christmas, and I'm so unhappy with most of the stuff out there for his age group. I don't want to buy him a little laptop...please. He has some Little People and some wooden blocks, but I have no idea what Christmas will hold. Eee. I wish I could just buy some Playmobile and Legos and be done!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169693256529367458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-57828631077260617622012-11-19T13:39:36.247-05:002012-11-19T13:39:36.247-05:00Sarah, thank you.

I have it and play it with my nephew who just turned 8. But it is great for younger and older kids. I don't think you will be disappointed in it. Also it is a game that offers more than one way to play.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859897656402150189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-71542093935445983742012-11-19T13:20:22.484-05:002012-11-19T13:20:22.484-05:00Love the snap circuits!

Your Christmas list is so great! You wrote it the day before my daughters birthday and we happened to see the plasma car in the toy store that day. Now I want one for our entire family. It is so fun. What awesome suggestions. Not only are so many toys such junk, but kids including mine have soooooo much stuff. I am petitioning for a pared down Christmas. Another suggestion I have is sleeping bags, an indoor tent and flashlights for winter camp outs inside!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975860454500415380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-73762926053479182552011-11-20T23:43:51.739-05:002011-11-20T23:43:51.739-05:00LOVE this list!
