This is a wonderful little toy made by LeapFrog. I am a big fan of their toys, as they are always as much fun for the little ones to play with, as they are educational!

The colors can be mixed to make an entire rainbow of different colors for your child to enjoy and let his or her imagination run wild.

Many children who have emotional problems tend... more

Having a hard time getting that little one used to water in his or her face? Most young children have a hard time adjusting to the idea of a wet face being an okay thing, which means that most parents are pretty frustrated when it comes time to get all that soap and shampoo out of the hair. But as so many children across America strongly believe, what goes in the hair shouldn’t have to come out of the hair, until now that is.

Toy maker ALEX has come up with a cute mini shower that simply sucks water out of the bathtub, and squirts it out of the top nozzle whenever... more
