Hello Again!

Wow...it's been an insanely long time since posting. The kids got sick, then I got sick, and then they got sick again. But, now I'm back.

And, now that my head is out of a cold medicine fog, I realized this morning that I need to buy fun gift for a friend of my daughter's who is turning 4. This little girl loves Hannah Montana and High School Musical, which means that every present she gets at her party will be Hannah Montana or High School Musical themed. I'd rather get her something different. Here are some of the gifts I'm thinking of getting for her.

Paddock Pals Glamour Girls Ranch by Breyer: This is a great gift for girls who like horses and who like to play with small dolls (think Polly Pockets). It comes with horses, a rider, accessories...oh, and it's purple. Lots of girl appeal with this toy!

Explore the Mystery of Color by Scientific Explorer: This is a great science kit that explains colors to kids in a fun, interactive way. Kids will learn about why rainbows appear in the sky, how our eyes see colors, how colors blend to form new colors, and more. This science kit would be a great activity for kids and parents to play with together.

Bunny Hop by Educational Insights: As you already know, I'm a sucker for a good game. This game is from the maker of Blokus, and it's a blast for the whole family to play. The object is for each player to collect 1 bunny of each color; the first one to do so wins. It sounds simple, but this game is great at helping kids grow their memory skills and to learn their colors.

Lab of Luxury Fun Science Kit by Be Amazing: My daughter's friend loves to play dress up and to play with her Mom's makeup, so I think this might be the perfect present for her. It will let her make her own fun play makeup while teaching her about science.
