Where are good ideas for Christmas present for kids?

Jasmine

I have 4 neices/nephews from 3 to 10. Where's a good place to get ideas for gifts for Christmas? And is it better to buy online or fight the lines of Black Friday?

Answer
There are many lists put out by different toy stores, kids magazines,etc.

There is the Toys R Us Fabulous 15:
http://www.santaschristmascorner.com/toys-r-us-fabulous-15-toys-r-us-2012-holiday-hot-toy-list/

Also, K-Mart has it's own Fab 15 list:
http://www.santaschristmascorner.com/k-mart-top-15-christmas-toys-for-2012-part-1/

There are others, but I don't know the URLs off the top of my head.

As far as online vs black friday, I personally shop online. One, I don't like to get up early. Two, I don't like being trampled by people trying to get the 3 TVs for the special price. And Three, you will usually find bargains just as good or nearly as good online if you keep your eyes open.

Furby 2012, yes or no?

Furby, 2012

A Young boyâs idea of the best and worst toy of 2012


Ok, so, I have been itching to say something about Furby. I have a friend who owns the old furby, and it would be completely normal to own one. (As long as itâs not hot pink, lol) I, for some reason, was lured to it like a cobra. I knew I could get it, but thankfully, a sarcastic 20 year old snapped me out of it. His very dry remarks made furby look like he needed to go to a mental hospital.

I then read one from a mother, who gave furby a better review, but I was told of the no on/off button crisis. Great, now Iâm gonna be waking up in the middle of the night hearing furby go: âME HUNGRYâ or âOOGA OOK BLAH BLAH MOOSH MOOSHâ (An example of itâs annoying âFurbishâ.) I have a feeling my father, who, when working, is quite stressed, would take that little thing and throw it out our 2 story condo deck onto the concrete.

I then, though, heard it could be put to sleep, and permanently close its eyes in a mode very similar to an âoffâ mode. That upped my hopes a little.

That was then crushed by the fact âHow you treat your furby shapes itâs personalityâ Well thatâs juuuuuusst great. Now Iâm gonna have a demonic furby thatâs all like âWHY THE $%^& DID YOU CRAM ME IN THE TOY BOX FOR DAYS WITH YOUR ^%$# DIRTY GI JOE, PUNK!?!?!?!?!?!â So, that gives me an idea.

If a creepy doll like chucky were to come to life and murder his owner, furby is case file number 1.

After reading so many reviews to the point my eyes hurt, I still am oddly drawn to the prospect of having my own furby. Do the doctors drug me at birth? Maybe. Do the commercials have a certain announcer that hypnotizes kids? Possible. Is it just kid nature? Most likely.

Anyways, we will never know weather or not to get a furby!

Comment below with thoughts on if I should get a furby! ï

Answer
Furby's are wonderful toys and yes you should get one, though they are on the pricey side they are excellent toys and are now new and improved. Yes buy a 2012 Furby.

Age minimums on kids toys... what do you think?

Star is a

Specifically-
Super Miracle Bubbles Bubble Turbine Set- they recommend age 5
Gymboree Bubble Ooodles with Wand and Tray - age 3

Would either of these be inappropriate for an almost 2 year old?
Thanks KM. My thinking is that the wand might be too difficult for a younger child to blow through or maybe squeezing the turbine set would be too hard for small hands. I couldn't figure out if the age minimums are for that or if the manufacturer just doesn't want unattended children swallowing bubbles or sticking their fingers in the turbine/pulling out batteries.
KkA... Please learn to use some critical thinking skills. Lots of warnings are from stupidity and lack of supervision. I'm not going to be handing these to a toddler and then walking away. And you don't need to lecture people on children when asked about a toy... this is for an Easter gift. Of course I know how to play with a child.
lol Des that's half the reason I'm asking. My godson is 3 1/2 now and my memory is starting to blur with what he could do at his 2nd birthday :)

lapland - only a 3 hour flight and loads to do, such as see santa, snowmobile rides (children can ride in the things that trail behind tho i dont know what there called) reindeer rides, husky rides, tobogganing etc and im sure if you wrap your toddler up warm he/she will love it and love the snow
loads of websites for holidays in lapland although i recommend http://bookings.firstchoice.co.uk/lapland/

paris - i think its only a 2 hour flight and loads of stuff to do too, a main one is disneyland, theres another theme park like parc asterix (all designed for kids), sight seeing such as going up the eiffel tower although i hope your toddler isn't afraid of heights! go for a cruise on the river seine, kids science museum called cité des sciences et de l'industrie or maybe a zoo called parc zoologique de paris

Getting a toddler ready for the beach?

Johnny's M

We are going on a 4 day, 3 night trip to the beach in the next few weeks. I'm a *planner* so I'd like to go ahead and start getting a mental list going as to what I'm going to need to take for Johnny (18 months). This is his first time going to the beach - and I've never really been to the beach with a toddler before.

Any suggestions on what to bring?
Spank me Grandmother - I like how you think.

(LOL)
And.......... No thumbs down from me!

Answer
ahhhhh, lil chubby cheeks is hitting the beach!!! us too we're going june 20th!! i took ayden last year though too when he was one and he HATED the beach!!! hahahaha.. it was too funny... he LOVED the pool at the hotel though!
definitely alot of sunscreen!!!
if your place has a pool i'd recommend getting one of them float things they can sit in, even the one that has the mesh, or netting overhead to block the sun! ayden had a lil truck thing and he loved it.. so much fun.
i'd also say get an umbrella for the beach... you wanna be able to get him outta the sun if you can...
definitely beach toys so he can play in the sand.. he might be a lil shocked by the sand at first cause it gets all over them and they don't know what to do!!!
those fishing hats are great for their lil faces!!
blankets
towles
ummm?? let me think?? i'm sure i can thing of a ton more!!
i'm sure you have a bathing suit for him but grab one of them surffer shirts they're great for the little ones, keeps them covered and great material for being wet!
i big bag to carry all this crap!

one thing i learned about myself when having my child at the beach is it is NO LONGER relaxing for you! hahaha i love nothing more than sitting on the beach in a nice beach chair and reading a book.. no more.. your constantly playing with them, watching what they're getting into, making sure they're not burning, etc.. hahaha.. i was sweating my butt off and i was covered in sand! ha..

oh another thing.. make sure you wear something versitile (spell??) something your comfortable in so you can sit without worrying that your stuff is hanging out! that you can bend, run, crawl, crouch, and pick him up comfortably in!!!
you'll be stressed enough with him you don't want to constantly be worring that your boobs are gonna pop out and if your butt cheek is out!!!! ahhahahaha...

toddler toys are their favorites?

Sexy Ma

What is your toddler "boys" favorite toys and are worth the money?

Answer
My 2 1/2 year old is absolutely in love with Diego. (It has been a life saver in so many areas! We did his room entirely in Diego, and it actually helped him transition from his crib to the toddler bed with no problems. Anytime he doesn't want to go to bed we just get him excited about his Diego bed!)For Christmas we bought him the big rescue center and his grandpa got him a different one. We can now just buy him the extra animals that go with it when we want to get him a new toy. He gets so excited about these! He takes the animals with him every time we go somewhere that he might get bored, including restaurants. They make a little case specifically for them.

As for other toys that have been worth the money, he likes any form of toy car. He has everything from hotwheels to tonka trucks. I love watching him dig through his toy box and picking out all of the cars (no matter what size) so he can play with them together. He also loves animals (part of this stems from his love of Diego) and dinosaurs. We bought him the little packs of 50 animals and 50 dinosaurs for about $2.88 at walmart and these have been amazing! He can sit there and make each animal noise (again learned mostly from Diego) and he loves to make the dinosaurs roar.

The best toys to get for your son are whatever suits his personality. If he has a tv show that he loves, get toys that are related to that. For my son it not only ensures that he plays with them, but it also makes him get more into the educational shows. He's learning spanish, animal noises, and counting way before I thought he'd ever learn it. The only things that I really try not to waste my money on are toys like leapfrog and baby einstien. He's never really gotten that into them, as there is nothing in them that he can relate to. I've known several people who spent alot of money on these things for their kids to never touch them. I know they are supposed to be very educational, but so far my son has learned more from the toys that you would think of as mere novelty.

Good luck!

Does your toddler LOVE Barney the dinosaur??

crickiebel

Just curious who has a child/children who LOVE Barney. My 2 year old can't get enough of him. I'm wondering when he will grow out of it...for those who have been through the "barney" phase..when did your child start to loose interest? I am wondering how long this will last and how much of an investment I should make on toys, dvd's etc??? Thanks for all answers and help:)

Answer
I have a 4 yr old who STILL wares her Barney DVD's out. She knows all the songs. She plays his games online and whatnot. My 2 stepdaughters got out of Barney about the time they started elementary school. But my little one also loves Dora, Elmo, anything Disney. Dont spend too much money on on brand of toy. We did that with Shrek, and they kinda took a back seat. I never had a son, but if I did, he could watch Barney in the mornings, and baseball the rest of the day...lol.

Can you find pictures/ videos of your favorite toys you had as a kid?

Fonzie T

& toys you *wanted*, but never got?

Sounds like a job for Google & Youtube to me! :) Post your toy pics &/or commercials for them.

As a kid, I was obsessed w/ Batman. I had the action figure by a now defunct company called Mego. They made all KINDS of action figures back in the day.

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/115/291641417_63ca5e92e1.jpg?v=0

Can't have Batman w/o Robin!
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj158/cantina00/082308megorobinmoc1.jpg

I REALLY wanted the Batcave & Batcycle, but never got em. :(

The commercial for them is hilarious!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siVtJ7lPZvw

I had a few of the then popular Planet of the Apes figures
http://brian.carnell.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/diamond_select_apes.jpg

For some reason, Dr. Zaius was my favorite. Maybe cause I thought it was cool he was an orangutan! lol
http://brian.carnell.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/retro_zaius.jpg

Tv ad for them:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr2sCLLrHU0

I LOVED my AFX Aurora racing cars. This wasn't the exact one I had, but close. Man, I haven't even *heard* the words "AFX Aurora" in years!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDohlQNkJ28
myth- lol! Sick kid!

Silly- Omg! I forgot about that one. (& I TOTALLY forgot about the monster version!) The number of kids who'd puncture it just to see what the goo inside looked like!
Arnelle- That's very cute :)
VT- The Dream House doesn't look so tall in the pic. Either it was huge & the pic doesn't look it or you were a *tiny* 4 year old! lol
Suzy- Awwww!! Yknow what I like about this? Not only is it very cute to see what my contacts used to play with as little kids, but it gives me a better insight about you guys.
Some of us have these tough exteriors here (often cause we have to), but these things show a softer side. :)

Answer
Hahahahaha! I clicked on the Stretch Armstrong link - this picture is so wrong http://www.plaidstallions.com/kenner/smonster.jpg XD

Anyway, let's see..

Oh yeah, well I can't seem to find the exact same ones as I had, but I had a Sylvanian House like this http://www.hippotoys.co.uk/shop/images/house.jpg except bigger and less fancy. And a treehouse which I can't find anywhere! D:

They're so cute though aren't they? http://www.simplesite.com/picture.aspx?id=5526982 And there were loads of different animals!

And I apparently used to love this microphone http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg57/Ladytron_69/?action=view&current=Mic.jpg Hahaha

But I don't think I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Edit: Haha aww, but I feel too young to be getting all nostalgic! D: ! And I remembered another thing - this I got for reasons which I have no idea, I just really wanted it - a chemistry set. HAHA And I remember mixing all this crap together and there must have been some sulphuric acid somewhere because I made the whole house smell like rotten eggs. XD

Is there a store that sells toys for autistic kids in Washington DC?

Victoria

IF there is a store in Washington DC that sells toys especially intended for autistic kids, I need to know either the name and location or the website.
Thank you very much for your help.

Answer
http://ezinearticles.com/?10-Great-Toys-For-an-Autistic-Child&id=460104

Here's a good article that recommends toys to buy for autistic kids.

My son has high functioning autism. When he was a toddler, I found that electronic toys were not a good play toy for him. He was obsessed with the lights, or the buzzing or whatever noise it made. He did not "play" with it.

Try to find toys that the child can have meaningful play with and will foster imaginative play. Buy a dollhouse with figures and demonstrate for him what these figures do in their house. Or get building blocks to help with motor coordination.

I wouldn't buy any "special" autistic toys. Plain old regular toys will work just fine.

http://www.discoverytoysinc.com/autism.htm

Actually, Discovery toys has very good toys. They can be for any child, autistic or not. Here's their website and they say their toys are suitable for autistic children. I have a few of their toys. They are kind of expensive, but of excellent quality.
(We have Whiz Kids and The Brain Game - both of my children, one with HFA and the other typical, LOVE these games).

toys for the kids?

what's the hottest toys for infants, toddler boys and an 8 yr old girl??? What's the best that they never seem to get sick off???
my son is only 7 months but when he turns 1, whats the best toys??? I have the fisher price drop and roar dinosaur. i saw it and just had to get it

Answer
Kids like big toys it seems. Yes, big toys are more expensive but they don't seem to get thrown into the toy box after 20 minutes. One year olds like ride on toys and things like that. Toddler boys like the same thing. They also like places to hide such as forts and tents. As for an 8 year old girl--they're all different. Some like dress up and some like playing house and cooking with pretend food and some like make-up and dressing up Barbies.

Worried about my toddler development!!!!!?

ss

My son is 18mths old the only words that he says is uh-oh, ball, mama, cheese, and bye-bye @ times! He follow some directions like....Throw this in the garbage, Go get your shoes e.t.c I am really worried about him! He is a busy body so he rarely sit down when I'm trying to teach him a new task...Help
When you look @ all these milestones charts it says he should be saying @ least 50 words by now
I'm on baby center and all the other moms with kids the same age as my son says their kids are saying way more words than my son! :(

Answer
I don't want to sound mean, but I think that you may be looking at the charts wrong. I actually have a son who is developmentally behind because he has a brain condition. He does still have the capability to be a perfectly normal little boy, it is just going to take him longer to make the connections in his brain. I am looking at my chart right now, and this is the one directly from our neurologist. He gave this to us so we would know when to be worried. At 18 months, a normal child should:

* Walk, may run a bit
*Climbs up or down one step
*Likes pull toys
*Likes being read to
* Makes marks with crayon on paper or table
*Partially feeds self
*May say between 5 and 10 words (notice not 50)

Toddlers at this age are little scientists and inventors. They never want to sit still because of the fact that every thing to them is new, exciting, and there is something for them to learn around every corner. I think that you may be putting too much pressure on yourself as a mother to try and "teach" him. He can and will basically teach himself. When he is interested and willing he will come to you, and try to help you. That is when you try to teach a toddler because that is when they have opened their mind to learn that specific thing. To me, it sounds like your little boy is doing just fine. If you still think that your child is having some problems, you may want to take him to the doctor and get a little reassurance from them. I know that no matter what I say, I am still just some lady on yahoo. Hearing the same thing from your doctor, may make you feel a little better about the situation. Just have fun and enjoy your toddler. I hope that this helps. Good Luck!

toddler walking rope?

overwhelme

I am helping out in Vacation Bible School this week at my church. My class is 1 and 2 years old - I am asking how to make one of those walking ropes with the donuts for the kids to hold on to as they walk in line. I've seen these at day cares and I even saw it on an episode of "Jon and Kate plus 8". We have like 9 or ten of these little ankel biters so we are really needing something to keep them in line as we go to our different activities - I am hoping someone will respond to this asap because I would like to make one tonight so we'll have it ready for tomarrow - thanks =)

Answer
You could get a spool of ribbon and tie those little plastic chain link toys to it at certain intervals, and each child will have a link to hold onto. Ribbon is inexpensive, and the links are available at any store that sells children's toys.

Edit: Or, just get some ribbon, rope, string, etc. and tie loops in it 10 inches apart or so! Here's a picture of one to copy:

what toys are educational for kids 1-5 years old?

lucianagra

toys

Answer
How about puzzles, kids love giant floor puzzles. You can also start them on games, memory ones or candyland etc.. Playmobil makes great, durable play sets for both ages. Any toys that let your child's imagination flow free with interactive play will always be educational. Sometimes the simpler the better. Save the V-tech for when kids are on a car trip but not for everyday play. There's plenty of time for them to be looking at a computer screen.

what is the most favorite toys and tv shows for 2 years old and 5 years old kids?

monaliza_m

Answer
depends on boy/girl. 2s like Barney, Wonderpets, Teletubbies. A lot of 2s, depending on the kid, don't have the attention span for TV for very long. 5s like Super Why, Arthur, boys like Spongebob, girls might still like Dora. A very precocious 5 yo might like Hannah Montana and Zach and Cody already, especially if they're exposed to it by older siblings.

Nick Jr. stuff is ok, regular Nickelodeon shows are for older kids. Most stuff on Cartoon Network is not for 2s and 5s. Most PBS shows are good for 5s; some are better for 2s than others.

Toys...big gender gap. 5yo boys like Legos, like to build, like to wrestle. You'll find the occasional girl into that, but not with the same gusto as the average boy. 5yo girls are great crafters and like simple board games (ie, CandyLand). Both are good for electronic toys like Leapster products. 2yos can't follow rules for games like CandyLand yet so you'd just be frustrated trying. 2yos will stay with one activity for a pretty short span, big legos for awhile, simple shape puzzles, Dora/Diego anything, but they are happiest with someone playing *with* them, not just being handed a toy and expected to know what to do with it.

Would you buy your kids coasters?

megraw_jac

Hi moms! I need some advice! I just started making some cute coasters sets and made some for my kids ( elmo and Sofia the first) with their names on it and they loved them so I was thinking about adding some cute kid themed coasters to my etsy store to sell. Would you buy coasters for your kids? Like Dora, Toy story and even personalizing them with their names? If so how much would you pay? Any advice would be great!!! Thanks!

Answer
Definitely, personalized kids things are very popular, and this might make it more fun for kids to sit down to eat their meals. If you're open to making custom coasters, you should consider listing them on Makeably so you dont have to make them in advance and can just make them as you get orders.

Kid with a cap gun, should this be legal?

Sundae Ros

The other evening I went out in the apt complex I live in, and I heard shots. It really scared me, then I saw it was a small kid shooting a cap gun. I assume these guns are still legal. I am thinking that maybe if any guns need to be outlawed, maybe toy guns should be. What do you guys think. I'm saying that it really really scared me to have these shots fired.

Kids are dying pointing fake guns that look like the real thing. I sure as hell wouldn't put one in my kids hands.

Toilet paper in kids bathroom always ends up ruined on floor?

brealyn71

This has been going on for YEARS. The wall dispensers just seem to pop right out of the drywall. So we've gone through several free standing metal roll dispensers like you can buy at Walmart or Home Depot. They break, lean to one side, rust, lose the removable metal tube in the middle that you put through the toilet paper roll, you name it. Even when we tried an expensive model, we were soon disappointed. I tried to get everyone to set the roll in a certain back of the toilet basket, but no-can-do, even if I convince the kids to do it for a while, the husband or one of our daily guests puts it somewhere else, there's no consistency, and it's back to toilet paper chaos. So basically the roll of toilet paper gets set on the back of the toilet, which falls to the ground and gets trampled. Or it gets set on the edge of the tub, and before I have a chance to notice and move it, someone showers and it's soaked and ruined. I don't know what to do except waste roll after roll of toilet paper. If anyone has any options that I haven't seen or thought of (there's got to be tons), please suggest a solution to my problem! Thank you.

Without any better suggestions, my next move is to get a pad-locked chain and hang the toilet paper on that, and that way no one can ever move it till I change it. That's going to take some heavy thought on how to get a chain to stay in the wall, and it will likely look hideous, but whatever.

Find a way to build your own though, it wouldn't be that hard. It's fun enough the kids might actually take care of it.

What are your likes and dislikes about Google?

jackieblue

I like Google because iGoogle you can customize your homepage. The the thing I hate about it is there are certain users there who create gadgets and themes that are quite inappropriate. For example, I have an iGoogle page I have been personalizing, even though I use Yahoo as my home site. But the thing that really turned me off towards iGoogle is that it allowed a user there to create w theme with a picture of the Serial Killer, John Wayne Gacy, dressed in his "killer clown" custume. I tried to report this to Google and they just make light of the situation by saying they cannot be responsible for whatever content users have to create any gadgets or themes. Now, I know there's such a thing as freedom of speech, but what do you do if a person has a certain mental condition that hinders him/her to distinguish reality from fantasy and the next thing you know, what happens? This particular individual acts on the impulses of seeing that kind of stuff online, regardless if that's no excuse or it is. Any what about if you have kids and they use the internet and they see something like that? Yes, there are parental controls that can be used to limit your kids' as to what they log onto over the internet, but I mean, I don't want to be like a control freak towards them and keep them from exploring every little thing that's immoral. If I do that, they'll just end up finding another way to log onto the site I blocked off out of rebellion. Do you agree with what I'm saying and if you ever use Google, when you visit iGoogle, have you had a similar incident you encountered there, too?

Answer
Google provides with the tools and users can use those tools as they please. It is one of the advantages of the internet, freedom of speech for all.
However Google is not just iGoogle.
It is the search engine (best and fastest in the world) the google maps, google analytics, calendar, joomla, photos, videos, Gmail, blogs etc
I love google products they are fast, user friendly, use top notch technology and most importantly they are FREE
