Toy Thursday - Picnic Table

It's Thursday so that means a new toy idea!

Toy Thursday is all about a toy or piece of equipment my wife and I have found useful.  Again, I can't guarantee your results will be exactly the same, I'm just throwing out an opinion and what has worked for us and others we know.

One of the most fun toys my daughter has gotten is a picnic table that was given to her by my sister. It is the Shapes And Sharing Picnic Basket the by leapfrog and it loks like this:

 

My wife and I love sitting down and having pretend picnics with her.  She even sets it up on her own now.  It is a great little toy.  It also makes sounds, and plays music.

So check it out here:

Toy Thursday #6 - LeapFrog My Pal

Today is Thursday and that means a new toy!

Toy Thursday is all about a toy or piece of equipment my wife and I have found useful.  Again, I can't guarantee your results will be exactly the same, I'm just throwing out an opinion and what has worked for us.  One of my daughters favorite stuffed animals is the LeapFrog My Pal Violet which Grandma got her for Christmas.  She loves this thing, and I have to admit it is pretty cool.  They also make a boy version called the LeapFrog My Pal Scout.  They look like this:




I have to admit they are pretty awesome.  You actually create an account with LeapFrog and then plug the toy into your computer and fill out some questions.  The questions are simple like what is your child's name, favorite color, animal, food, etc.  The toy will then call your child by their name and make up songs with their name and favorite stuff.  You can also pick an assortment of other songs that will show up when certain paws are pushed.  It is a great toy which my daughter wants to bring everywhere, and I get a kick with how customizable it is.

So check out the LeapFrog My Pal Violet for a girl and the LeapFrog My Pal Scout if you have a boy!

Also, be on the look out for this Tuesdays adventure as well as any updates!

Toy Thursday #4 - Activity Table

Today is Thursday and that means a new toy!

Toy Thursday is all about a toy or piece of equipment my wife and I have found useful.  Again, I can't guarantee your results will be exactly the same, I'm just throwing out an opinion and what has worked for us.  Today's toy is a table made by Leap Frog.  It is the LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table and it looks like this:





My daughter played with it for the first time when some friends of ours came down for a visit.  She absolutely loved it! And so did my friend and I.  In fact while everyone else was asleep, we had a bit of a video game night.  We used the tables sound as a commentary on how we were doing, since the table makes a lot of happy and sad sounds.  Yes, I'm a nerd.  Back to Kaylee though.  She just couldn't really do to much with it yet, since she was only 2 months old.  We wanted to get one when she got a little bit older, and what do you know, but Grandma had sent one in the mail without even knowing we were looking at them!  The table has a bunch of different stages and can be used without the legs at first.  My daughter loves it and has been playing with it pretty constantly since she was around the 4 month mark.

It is a great toy with lots of music, and learning.

So if you have a little one, this may be a good pick up for you.  That name again is the LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table.


That's all for now!

Be looking out for the next adventure this upcoming Tuesday...
