| New Kitchen Toys from Zabaar's | | 2008-07-22 08:57:00 | | Lon's co-workers got us a gift certificate for Zabar's Zabar's, one of my favorite stores. They have an awesome cheese selection, the best smoked fish counter, and knowledgeable staff in the second floor housewares section. I miss living nearby so much!!Last night, we went to Zabar's like a kid at the candy store, going ga-ga over everything. We had to exercise restraint and just get a couple of things we actually needed. Ok, so we don't actually need anymore stuff in our kitchen but let's say, relatively needed. With Manny's very insightful help, we left with our new kitchen toys.Lon wanted a meat cleaver. He loves being the butcher and I gladly give up that roll. With a meat clever, you want some good weight, but don't spend too much. This knife gets banged around and damaged easily. We got a Joyce Chen cleaver for $26.98 with a comfortable wooden handle.It's time for my offset serrated knife to retire. Manny is a big fan of Messermeister and lucky for us, one was on sale for $44.98. | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

| The Role Of Toys In Your Child's Development | | 2008-06-18 22:54:50 | | image by Jeff MacKinnonThe main purpose of toys is to bring joy to children. It adds more fun to their games.

| Tools and Toys | | 2008-06-18 20:48:06 | | Of course most of us would argue there's not much difference between tools and toys. GMC came through today... one week and a day and I now have two sets (4 cutting surfaces, since they are reversible) of blades for my planer. Fit like a champ. And the exchange rate between AUS and US dollars is just about 1-1, which made it nice.
To add to that, Melanie and Dane came through for Father's day (now that I felt like getting out and picking it out with them). I have a new Porter Cable 5" Random Orbit Sander. I haven't had a lot in the sanding tool arena and I can tell the demand is going to really expand. Played with it just a minute after we got home... quiet and seemed to do a nice job. I haven't used a random orbit sander before. It's going to take a little getting used to, but I think I like it.
Money = $56.79 (sander and a few disks) + $3.98 (tax) = $60.77

| Important PointsTo Remember When Buying Educational Toys | | 2008-06-04 09:45:58 | | As parents, we try not to feed our children anything that was not beneficial for them. Likewise, the same applies for toys. We want to buy toys which are educational; something that will benefit our children and will help them grow to their full potential. However, knowing each child is born with different capabilities and interests, there are many factors to keep in mind when purchasing toys for your child. If a child is asked to pick out a toy of her preference she will naturally chose the most eye catching toy. But as a parent, when picking out toys for your child, you should consider what your aim is for that particular toy. Do you want the toy to teach your toy something specific, or do you want the toy to stimulate your child's imagination? It is not easy picking out the good toys from the bad, as there are many on the market. Keep in mind your child’s strengths, weaknesses and interests.If you are feeling a little lost as to what type of toys to get your child, here are some | | By: Educational & Fun Toys | | |

| Educational Toys For Toddlers | | 2008-05-31 01:24:50 | | image by brighterworlds Toys are an integral part of a toddler's world. It is very important to choose the right toys because so much of their play centres around the imaginary world they create using these toys. Never again will they learn so fast and so easily, so if the toys are educational as well as fun, they will be entertained at the same time as being taught important skills and ways of grasping the world around them.It is at this age that children start being aware of their surroundings and notice everything with surprise and awe. Their toys should help them make sense of their world and their place in it.Most toddlers are very active and inquisitive, and want to explore and experiment with everything around them. Toys which allow them to be active and also help develop their gross motor skills are perfect for this age group.Climbing structures, puzzle blocks, balloons, interactive dolls, and toy bikes and cars a | | By: Educational & Fun Toys | | |

| The Best Educational Toys for Toddlers | | 2008-05-31 00:53:40 | | Every parent wants to give their child a head start when it comes to their early development, and there are many educational toys available that can stimulate your child to grow and develop in fun and playful ways. It’s been scientifically proven that young minds need stimulation to develop thought and reflex patterns and good hand/eye co-ordination. The toys available must also entertain your child if you want basic learning skills to develop. The child won’t even realize that lessons are being taught, because it’s so much fun!Toys that feature a lot of turning buttons and items will help to develop motor skills and co-ordination. Toddlers and infants especially love the toys that make noise. Also, toys that feature keyboards or noise-making buttons can help your child to associate actions with obtainable and fun sounds. A basic ability for sound recognition is usually developed in this manner.It’s important to realize that there are age-specific toys for every level of childh | | By: Educational & Fun Toys | | |

Educational toys are very popular among parents, as they provide a good medium to educate their children. No matter how rich or poor, parents want to purchase educational toys for their children.

Many companies on the Internet offer cheap rates on educational toys. Their web sites carry details of the products such as the toy description, learning objectives, pictures and prices. Customers typically register on these sites, place an order and pay online. There are also companies that provide toy rental services at affordable rates.

| Dark Knight and Speed Racer Cool Toys for 2008 | | 2008-02-15 14:42:00 | | We've got Mattel's entire line of Batman and Speed Racer cars for 2008, and we hope the movies are as geekgasmic as the toys. The Batman lineup punches all of my little fanboy buttons—not only the entire squadron from The Dark Knight, but the two best Batmobiles ever: from the animated series AND Adam Batwest. Speed Racer's got the Mach 5, its sleeker, zippier successor the Mach 6, plus a | | By: Gadgets in Movies Galore | | |

| Toys for Texans | | 2008-02-15 00:42:02 | | Another intrusive government attempt to legislate "decency" was shot down in Texas today.From the Austin American StatesmanCourt strikes down Texas ban on sex toysA federal appeals court has struck down a Texas law that makes it a crime to promote or sell sex toys. "Whatever one might think or believe about the use of these devices," said an opinion written by Justice Thomas M. Reavley of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, "government interference with their personal and private use violates the Constitution." Under Texas law it is illegal to sell, advertise, give or lend obscene devices, defined as a device used primarily for sexual stimulation. Anyone in possession of six or more sexual devices is considered to be promoting them. The Texas law dates back to the 1970s and is seldom enforced. Travis County prosecutors say that they haven't charged anyone with a sexual device-related crime in at least the past seven years, and prob | | By: Dyre Portents | | |

| Tokidoki Toys | | 2008-02-08 15:34:54 | | Okay, these may not be anime-based figures, but I'm guessing that they are, at the very least, Japan-inspired. (It doesn't take a genius to figure that out, actually since Tokidoki itself is Japanese ^^;) These are the figures based from Tokidoki characters. In case you aren't aware of Tokidoki, they've had collaborations with Hello Kitty and LeSportSac. Tokidoki's characters are all cute, as you can see on the picture on your left. The woman on the picture is also a Tokidoki character, but I like them chibi and all SD.Here are the Tokidoki toys. Some of them are vinyl, the others, I've no idea lol. So kawaii~ The characters above are (L-R) Cactus Pups, Carina, Bruttino, The Moofia, Adios, Ciao Ciao, Sandy, Mozzarella and Sabochan. The Moofia are like trading figures that comes to you in a box with a random Moofia inside. They really aren't cute right? I've never seen them in our local malls, except for the LeSportSac bags (which are really expensive), so I'm guessing there isn' | | By: Poopsies - Toys, Anime, Manga, Video Games, etc. | | |

| Nicole Gastonguay - Ganchillo Toys | | 2008-02-04 07:39:00 | | Nicole Gastonguay es una iqnuieta artista que vive y trabaja en Nueva York. Para pagar sus facturas, trabaja como diseñadora gráfica en una gran editorial, aunque su verdadero talento sea otro: el ganchillo, especialmente sus muñecos.La gente suele escribirle preguntándole por sus patrones, pero lo cierto es que no tiene ningún patrón. Hace las cosas según se le van ocurriendo, sin visión a largo plazo. Es de la opinión de que al hacer sus muñecos, si forman parte de una serie, la falta de patrón hace que cada uno de ellos resulten diferentes y originales.El precio de cada muñeco ronda los 100$.No puedo evitar recordar a las Crochettes, Comando del Ganchillo, de las que no se ha sabido nada después de su primera intervención.Links:BlogFlickr | | By: Look Closer | | |

| Homemade Plush Toys - Flake Style | | 2008-01-07 08:59:00 | | My fingers are on fire. Last night I stayed up till 2 am working on my latest craze - plush toys, and my fingers turned into pincushions. I've been looking at all the Etsy shops lately and realized that everything plush is selling. So why not my plush toys? I've determined to be the next big toy maker. I got off to somewhat of a bumpy start last night. After some extravagant shopping at the fabric store, I had no reason not to make the next best thing since the teddy bear. Instead, I ended up with a sad, chunky manatee. She didn't end up at all like I'd envisioned - I've discovered the the second you put stuffing inside a toy they take on a personality of their own and no amount of cajoling can make them something they are not. I've named her Gwendolyn. Cher loves her to no end. I'm especially smug about the "Girls Scout Days '98 - San Antonio Sea World" patch on her rump. I'm going to run to Rite Aid today and get her some great fake eyelashes to sew on.Another really simple idea I have for gifts (boutique selling?) are the chromosome pillows. They take about 10 minutes to make and I think they are really cute. Do me a favor, everyone. Tell me if this is something that would catch your attention in a shop (either for babies or friends) and tell me how much you would pay for the XX or XY set. I'm thinking of doing the XY set in some kind of manly fabric like camo or faux leather. These are really plushy and great for little kids to snuggle around. So tell me, am I the only geek who thinks decorating with chromosomes could be the next big thing?I've got five huge bags of great fabric in my closet and can't wait to get started on more projects! I'm going to open up an Etsy shop as soon as I have ten or so items and see if the world approves of my juvenile sewing skills. Any ideas for a brand name? Flakey Friends? Flake Made? This is going to be so fun! | | By: Hollywood Flakes: Get 'em While They're Hot | | |

| Interactive and fun Toys for Tots free eCards | | 2007-12-06 00:38:33 | | I am a very sentimental person and I always try to send out eCards to people I dearly care about whenever possible. Usually, I like to look around for websites that can offer me better looking e-cards that are not only customizable, but also interactive with great tunes included. And, this time, I found something new that I would like to share to everybody. It is a website full of eCards that are very well created and designed with full flash animation, sight and sound, and in addition, there are no annoying ads on the page, no subscriptions needed or sign-ups or downloading toolbars. The site offers them for free in hopes that they will not only make someone's day, but also make a child in need, happy. Here is how it works, for every holiday eCard received a contribution is made to achieve a goal of delivering a toy to every child in need. So this holiday we should all try to come together for such a good cause, and Here's where to find Toys for Tots free eCards. Please be sure to s | | By: Simply Me | | |

| How Buying the Right Dogs Toys Can Help to Boost Their Intelligence | | 2007-11-14 00:31:00 | | Giving your dog the right kind of toys to play with can produce many benefits for both them and you.There is a common misconception that dogs’ toys are only designed to help relieve their boredom, but this is not their only use.Dogs toys in general are excellent for relieving their boredom and particularly good where you may find yourself having to leave your dog on it's own at certain times, but, for your dogs sake, there are plenty of reasons why you should think about buying your dog some toys.Several toys for dogs are designed to boost their intelligence.

| Dangerous Toys | | 2007-11-09 11:20:00 | | Dangerously fun, anyway...I don't recall who pointed this auction out to me, but this is quite possibly the perfect marriage of technology and beer. The Gamerator plays over 180 retro arcade games while dispensing your favorite draught beer from the built in tap handle.It's probably best that I don't have room for one of these, it's hard enough to find the motivation to leave the house in the winter, and this thing would turn me into a total hermit.
