Ultimate Spike Dino fun!
This winner from Fisher Price is a definite must-have for any child above 3! Once your little one puts this giant dino together, and you put 3 batteries into the remote control, its fun all the way!
Spike stands over 25 inches tall and is made completely out of soft plastic. His spikes and his teeth look scary, but they are perfectly safe for children. The remote controlled dinosaur walks, talks, laughs, sleeps, yawns, and even explores new places and it can all be controlled with a remote control! He even has blinking eyes and lights on his body that flash according to his mood!
You can buy the dinosaur at any store that sells Fisher Price products.
We stumbled upon Cherry Moon Farm’s gift site and found some wonderful gift baskets for kids. One of the cutest gift sets is the Rockabye Baby Girl and Baby Boy gift baskets. These gift sets come with a wooden rocking horse and a plush rocking horse rattle. The gift box also has everything you’ll need to dress up your little one- a receiving blanking, bib, body suit, and even little booties!
The girls gift set is pink and the boys gift set is blue. You can order these at www.cherrymoonfarms.com for $120.
Cella Blue Puzzle
Another great gift from www.fatbraintoys.com. The Cella Puzzle has nine parts which fit into one another. An instruction booklet offers advice on how to create just about anything with these nine wooden pieces, but the possibilities are endless. It’s a great gift for kids eight years and older and helps sharpen kids’ analytical abilities while widening their creative horizons.
The Cella Blue Puzzle is made by Naef, a Swiss company, and is priced at $178.25. That’s not too big a price to pay for Naef’s impeccable quality and craftsmanship.

Whizzing on those Electric Scooters
We know, we know! When everyone’s talking about how the mechanical scooters are more healthy because the kids get more exercise, we’re asking you to go get your kid the electric scooter. But we guarantee that your kids will spend more time outdoors and find another reason to go out to the park or even whizz out to a neighbors house!
