Fun and Educational Toys

Buying toys for your kids should be done with careful thinking. As loving parents we want them to have the best things in life and that includes buying their favorite toys but are we giving them the best by following their demands? In this regard, some parents may agree or disagree as they say children should be given the toys they want when they’re young in order that they pass through their playing age with satisfaction. 

I agree that they shouldn’t be deprived but I also learned that they should not be over indulged with the things that would make them spoiled kids. There should be limitations in giving toys to our children especially if the toys we’re talking about are not safe physically and mentally. There’s also the question of buying them too much expensive toys that makes them used to always having it their own way. In short there should be limit in the kinds and value of toys, as parents we should know when they should have it. 

As a guide in buying the right toys for your little ones you should remember that it’s better if we will buy most of their toys from the educational toys department because it will not only harness their capabilities but will enjoy it as well. There are plenty of educational toys that will provide the right amount of playing, enjoyment and education. You can choose from a variety of utah toys  where they have plenty of choices for your specific needs. They have everything from arts and crafts, building sets and blocks, games and puzzles, science learning, outdoor fun and more. See your kids will be able to enjoy the toys while learning.

Comments-Iqkids on Educational Toys

One of things that I like about toy makers is their capabilities to think of ideas on how to make the children not only happy but intelligent as well. Giving them educational toys develops their talents, skills and learning abilities. It’s a sure fun way of learning things without pressure.

Josh and His Golf

My Josh was very persistent in getting his golf toy and when he reached home he likes to play it all the time. Actually the reason why he wants it is that he’s been playing golf games in my mobile and when he has the chance to play on our PC. I’m strict on my kids when it comes to playing games on the PC. I command the time they should be using and playing online games to discipline them and to prevent game addiction.

Now Josh started again on his never ending questions and this time it’s about golf. I told him that there are golf training aids which can help those who are new to golf and when he grows older and taller he can choose for himself which training aids he wants. That satisfied him.

:WW - Colors of Balloons

Balloons make any occasion livelier and happier. Their colors are so lovely and their effects are so special with the kids. My daughter Gen love it so much that when she was still a baby up to 2 years of age she always want to have these lovely balloons when she happen to see them in mall displays. Because she was a very lovely and cute baby then the store owners and salesladies would always give her one when they see her eyes lingering on their displayed balloons.

Now it's her younger brother Josh who's into balloon liking now :-)

The Spirit of BEAR-iuca

Got this from LadyJava's Lounge and thought of joining this one, anyway the truth is I like Mariuca's bear :-). If you want you can join also!

-START COPYING HERE-

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a powerful Genie Princess named Mariuca who was known throughout the land as the friendliest, most popular blogger in the blogosphere kingdom. Adored and admired by international visitors and commentators from around the world, the Genie Princess travels the blogosphere on her magical flying carpet, always looking for ways to share her good fortune with others.

Over the past two years of blogging, Mariuca has met so many new people, from all walks of life and all over the world, each one bringing a little of their culture and lifestyle when they visit and comment on Mariuca’s two sites. So on her 2nd Blog Anniversary, Mariuca wanted to celebrate with all of her international blogosphere buddies by hosting a bear-naming contests at Wishing On A Falling Star and Mariuca’s Perfume Gallery and to pass her two lucky, cuddly teddy bears along to the winners who came up with the best names.

On the opposite side of the world, from the moment Roxy (the prolific Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blogger) and her sweet daughters London and Maddie saw the teddy in his personalized t-shirt and blue muffler at Wishing On A Falling Star, they knew that he needed to come to live with their family in Mendham, NJ. The three New Jersey girls named him immediately and burst into a wonderful song for BEAR-iuca:

BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, amazing teddy cheer.
BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, we’d love you to come live here!

Mariuca received 16 possible names for the Mariuca Teddy Bear, making it hard for the Genie Princess to choose just one…then Alakazam! A bolt of lightning delivered the perfect way to share BEAR-iuca’s good fortune to bloggers around the globe. While the soft, stuffed, cuddly BEAR-iuca is on his way to live with Roxy, London, Maddie and Rex in the Roxiticus Valley, the Spirit of BEAR-iuca is racing through the blogosphere to bring happiness, holiday cheer, and beary best wishes to everyone who welcomes him into their online home and passes along the BEAR-iuca good luck charm to ten friends.

Sorting My Kids’ Toys

I’ve started today my planned inventory of my children’s old and new toys. My two girls are getting older and by each year that pass they slowly changing their toy preferences. I’ve done a lot of sorting consulting them every now and then what toy should be kept and what should be packed in cardboard boxes for sending to some of their younger cousins in the province. I’ve also included some beautiful dresses which can be used for special occasions which my children opted not to wear anymore because they prefer more casual clothes. Kids really changes as they grow older, they’re starting to have their own style and preferred choices.

Have Fun While Learning

Sometimes when I’m free from work I bring my kids to the mall for some shopping, playing at the arcade, eating at their favorite pizza and donut house and rounding up on our favorite toy store. That’s where we find various toys for all gender and ages. Even I find joy in seeing all their displays of toys for girls and boys. As always Josh will go straight to his favorite display of superheroes, sports and educational toys there. My two girls will definitely search through the store’s display of girl items. All of my kids love educational toys like word games, building toys and science kits. They particularly like the electronics science kits like robot dog, robot dinosaur, mini laboratories and many more.

As a parent I want my kids to have the best toy that they want but I also take in consideration what kind of toy they choose. Since they’re consulting me if their choices are good or worth it I gave my views and opinions with respect on their interests, luckily they follow my suggestions. As they grew a little bit older I’m amazed that the toys I want when I was a kid are also the ones they show interest also. For the record I love science toys, my father called me a little scientist when I was young because of my toy preferences. I also had my little inventions to that effect. If only there’s an online educational toy store then I’ll be so excited also, just like all other kids nowadays. Variety of toys is endless and parents should be really being considering some factors in deciding what the best toys are for their children. I’ve seen a store online, the Atomic Elephant Toy store which offers great selection of educational toys for kids in all ages and where shopping for your chosen toy is easy as you can shop by category, by age, by brand and most importantly by price.

What really interest me aside from the toy variance is that they also provide helpful tips for parents on how to choose the best toys for their children. The site discussed some factors that would be vital in knowing the right toy for certain children because not all children are the same; they have varied interests and capabilities. That’s why choosing toys for them should be given enough thought and this site helps a lot in that area. Come visit their site and have fun while learning!

Ready For Swimming

My kids were asking me since Saturday if we could drop by the mall to buy their swimming things for our church' outing on Thursday, May 1. It's a national holiday, actually a labor day so we don't have work on that day. My kids were so happy and excited since the outing was discussed a month ago! My eldest who's already 10 years old had her things and clothes ready since last week, not so excited huh! Anyway it's just an ordinary swimming in Barangay Pansol in Calamba, Laguna and we're always there at least thrice a year but since it's summer and everyone was raving about swimming and resorts it's getting more exciting for the children, they will tell it to their friends.

We left the church before 8pm and because Ever was still open they made their daddy turn the car and park it there. I heard them giggling and saying that 'Yehey it's still open'. We hurriedly went for Twiddledee and choose from among the store's various swimming gears, I picked a kiddie life vest for Josh and some gears for my girls. I was busy with my chosen things for the swimming that when I paid for them and went outside I didn't noticed that Josh was crying. He was disappointed that store closed suddenly after we went out and he wanted me to buy him a robot. I just promised that we'll buy some other time and bought him his favorite chocomilk powder and some other food he love to make him stop. He stopped afterawhile but his face was serious, oh poor kid he must have liked that robot very much!

Josh New Toy

Josh is so busy with his new toy, a gift from Bes from her Australian vacation. Josh made me buy batteries immediately after Jen gave this to him. Actually Josh was really looking at Jen's big paper bag anticipating what would be his toy. Josh remembered clearly when Tita Jen came from Australia last 2006 and gave him kangaroo stuff toy and on the first visit when he's just a baby he had his Aussie white mini car. He has photographic memory you know so it's difficult for him not to remember that in every australian vacation of Jen she always have something for our little Josh. It's nice that Ruth, my eldest and the real goddaughter of Jen, was happy enough to let Josh have the gifts as long as she has the chocolates, funny girl!

She’s only 3 years old but if you’ve heard her talking she’s very serious in completing her stories. Here you’ll find them holding their soft balls but actually they’ve exchanged their toys here. Red smiley ball is actually my son’s toy.
