If you are on the lookout for a great toy for your kids this Christmas, Toobeez is the one gift you must have in your house.  It is a favorite in my house and will be in yours too.  This is one of the few toys on the market that actually make your kids think which is why I love it!

Toobeez is basically one big tinker toy set that is super easy to put together.  If my 4 year old can do it, anyone can do it.  All you do is take the tube and push the end into the hole on the spheres.  You then turn it slightly until it clicks.  That’s it!  Now, there are about 100 different things you can make with these.  You can make simple structures (which is where Madison is at) and every intricate structures like a super fighter jet.  There are just so many things I really like about this.  Like I said before, it makes my kids think and design.  It is not too hard for my daughter to put together, so she does not get frustrated and is able to build what she wants without too much help.  I remember building forts as a kids with chairs and blankets, and I have to admit that this Toobeez set with the slide on curtains is just so much cooler.  Best of all, it comes with its own zippered storage bag, so you don’t have to worry about losing pieces!

If you decide that you kids must have this, they are running an awesome deal.  If you purchase the 57 piece set, you get an additional 15 piece kit ($24.99 value), The Big Idea Book with tips for enjoying your TOOBEEZ ($4.99 value), and free shipping ($24.00 value)!  Also, make sure you check out their giveaway!  They are giving away a free set to a lucky winner.  How cool is that?  If you are sick of the noisy toys that don’t require your kids to think, then Toobeez would be a perfect fit in your home.

Another website you should check out if you are pregnant or know someone who is Bazzle Baby (actually, if you have a toddler check it out too!)  They have some of the most sylish awesome products there.

Now, the first product of theirs I love is their Big Bib. This works great for babies. However, it works even better when your toddler is trying to feed themselves. That is where we are in my house, and I am always looking for great products that keep my son’s clothes clean.  I love that the back of the bib is soft, so that if does touch your baby’s skin, it won’t be irritating.  It is also machine washable.  There are several styles that you can pick from too.  It is also very absorbant (which is really awesome when your son is trying to feed himself cereal and milk).  I love any product that allows me not to have to change Will’s clothing several times a day.

Now, I love the Big Bib, but I absolutely adore the Banda Bid they have. I swear it is the cutest thing I have ever seen.  Like the Big Bib, the inside is soft, so if it touches your baby’s skin, you shouldn’t have an issues.  I love how it is stylish yet so very functional.  It is hard to keep a baby dry when they are teething, and this definitely does that.  I also love how people just assume it is part of the outfit you have your kids in.  This is also machine washable (which every mom has to love).  You can even have this set up right under their lip and protect their chins when they are drooling the worse (and hopefully avoid soreness and chafing).  I swear this is the most functional baby accessory I have ever seen.

Now, I don’t have any of their burp cloths (though they call them burpers).  However, I am impressed with the quality of the two products I do have, so I know these should be just as good.  They too are super stylish.

This is definitely a site you need to check out for the babies in your life and their parents.

The Big Wide-Mouthed Frog is a great book to introduce your little ones to animals and what they eat. The story is about a big wide mouthed frog who goes around talking to other animals and finding out what they eat.  Some examples of the animals are an ostrich, koala, and kangeroo. I love the illustrations in this book too. They are full page and are very colorful. They definitely caught my little ones attention.  This is a hit here and will be in your house too (especially for any frog fans out there!)
