Having a large family isn’t always easy for children and learning to cooperate and get along with siblings can be one of the hardest lessons to learn. As well as being a sibling it can also be extremely difficult to adjust to school life where previously only children are them forced to share toys and cooperate with other children. Both of these examples are great opportunities for toys such as the Team Walker! The Team Walker is a game which incorporates up to four children at once promoting body conditioning and coordination as well as cooperation with other children! The Team Walker can be separated in to four individually colored walkers or it can be locked

together to create one multi-colored team building toy! The Team Walker has adjustable rubber straps and is flexible and portable making it a great toy to take to the park, to the playground at school or simply out to the driveway! Toys like the Team Walker are ideal for sets of multiples as well, parents of twins, triplets and quadruplets will find this a handy exercise for cooperating with siblings! The Team Walker measures 15 1/2" x 5" x 1" and is recommended for children ages 3yrs+.
You can find the Team Walker over at KazooToys.com. I have found this one at various online retailers but never at a brick and mortar store!

The Eyeclops Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles are night vision goggles perfect for your little soldier!

I have mentioned before that food related toys make me nervous especially in households with younger children; however, they are unavoidable with most children in the early years of school coming as tea sets with cake, plush toys or as in this case educational toys. The only advisory I will give is that if you have a household with children young enough not to know better than to eat the toy PLEASE don’t purchase this one! The Smart Snacks toys are one of my favorite food based toys because they all promote education and the hide n’ peek chocolates are no different. The Smart Snacks Hide N’ Peek Chocolates is a set of two pieced chocolates that match together

|
|
as shapes. Each chocolate comes apart and will only fit with it’s partner piece, much like a matching game or a game of memory but the great part about these chocolates is that they’re colorful as well so children can not only work on memory and matching skills but they can also learn all about colors at the same time! This set is washable and includes 12 chocolates in a heartshaped box. These chocolates are recommended for children ages 3yrs+.
You can find the Smart Snacks Hide N’ Peek Chocolates over at Kazoo Toys.

We all know how absolutely impossible it is to get children to do their chores and help out around the house and the older they get the more like pulling teeth it is. The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart is a great tool to help to get your children up and helping around the house. The Responsibility Chart relies on children’s need for positive reinforcement. The Chart comes with seven clots for responsibility goals and seven columns for each day of the week. Attached to the chart is a white board which holds all of the magnets that slot in to the chart. Responsibility magnets include simple "chores" such as remembering to say please
|
|
|
and thank you and more difficult chores for older children such as helping with outdoor chores. This set also includes small smilie face magnets which rate your child’s participation in the responsibilities that have been picked for the week. The Responsibility Chart is a great way to monitor allowances and individual child’s behaviour in a multi-child household. The Chart comes with a total of 134 magnets and measures 16" x 24" when the white board is opened up. This Responsibility Chart is recommended for children ages 3yrs+
You can find this Melissa & Doug Chart from Amazon.com! You may be able to locate it at smaller retail stores that carry Melissa & Doug toys; however, you have a better chance of finding it at Amazon.
