The Jumbo Go Go Go is one of the most adorable early childhood toys that I have ever had the fortune to run across. The Jumbo Go Go Go is recommended for children ages 5 mths – 3 yrs and weighs 6lbs. This adorable big red plush car is a great place for your little one to sit and watch their favorite tv shows as well as just a great place to stay busy while mom and dad get a little quiet time! This adorable plush car is brightly colored with red, purple, yellow and green dotted fabrics to keep your little one stimulated and even comes with a built in bottle holder on the right side! The car starts up with a plastic teething key and the dashboard of the car removes so it can be

taken on car trips for ride along fun! The dash board has it’s own horn as well! The car even includes a mesh "trunk" so favorite toys can be packed along for the ride and a rear view mirror gives baby a view of themselves in the driving seat! The Jumbo Go Go Go car requiers 3"AA" batteries which are included and measures 21½"l x 22"w x 8"h.
You can find the Jumbo Go Go Go car over at BackToBasicsToys.com. I have never seen anything like this one before so I wouldn’t know where to tell you to begin looking for it locally!

Pretend Play is an extremely important part of any child’s upbringing; however, when it comes to pretend food play I’d much rather take the Slice and Bake Cookie Set over the Easy Bake Oven set. The reason? Well the Slice and Bake cookie set is all pretend food, while the Easy Bake Oven sets encourage children to eat and overeat sweets and junk. I am not naiive enough to believe that children won’t eat sweets but I do believe that it’s not something they should be given free access to because we all know how gluttonous children can be when it comes to "forbidden food". The Slice and Bake cookie set comes with 12 cookies and 18 different colorful toppings for

the cookies, all of which are made from wood! This set also includes a cookie sheet, a kitchen mitt, a spatula and a play knife. This cookie baking set is recommended for children ages 3yrs+ and would make a great addition to any pretend play kitchen or restaurant!
You can find the Slice and Bake Cookie Set over at BacktoBasicsToys.com!.

Playhouses are great toys for children because they encourage pretend play which we all know grows the imagination; however, not all parents can afford to purchase those huge playhouses that you see in fancy magazines (heck i’ve even featured one here before). A great solution to this dilemma (assuming that you’re looking to purchase something rather than build box forts like I did as a child) is to look at the Doorway Playhouse by Step 2. The doorway playhouse allows your child to have playhouse fun without the purchase of an entire house. This fun playhouse door has a top and bottom section to the door, a doorbell, a peephole

and four window shutter that open and close. The doorway playhouse can turn any room of the house in to a playhouse and can be used with any door! The playhouse door has a working doorbell which requires two "AAA" batteries (not included) and has shelving on the interior of the door to help with that realistic house look! The playhouse door is recommended for children aged 18mths+ and measures 40.25"H x 34.5"W x 13.5"D.
The playhouse door is a big brand toy so you should be able to find it in your local mega toy stores; however, failing that this one is available via Amazon.com !

Today’s featured toy is another toy found on ETSY.com, a set of dinosaur favorites shadow puppets! Shadow puppets are a great way to interact with children on camping trips as well as during sleepovers or even just on a family night. Shadow Puppets encourage family bonding as well as imaginative play, they allow children to make up their own stories as they go and illustrate them with fun colorful puppets. Being able to illustrate stories with pictures is a great way to encourage even the youngest members of the family to join in the storytelling! This fun colorful set of dinosaur shadow puppets comes with a red pteranodon, a purple t-rex, a blue triceratops, a

green apatosaurus and an orange stegosaurus for a total of five fun handmade shadow puppets! These shadow puppets work really well with a shadow puppet theater; however, if you don’t have a shadow puppet theater they work just as well on a wall! The set comes with a fun dinosaur facts sheet and some other fun shadow puppet tips! These puppets come with removeable shadow puppet sticks; however, because of the sticks on the puppets children under 4yrs should be supervised!
These shadow puppets are created by Orange Moon Toys over at ETSY.com and are also available in sea creatures and as individual puppets as opposed to a whole set. Individual puppets cost approximately $8.00 each and can be purchased from Orange Moon Toy’s storefront.
