Friday, October 24th, 2008

51pDOsY4zrL. SL500 AA280 Doesn’t this one look like fun? If you have kids who are slightly older, and enjoy verbal jests, this would be a grest game for you. Or, you know, I suppose you could just play it with grownups, LOL! At any rate, APPLES to APPLES®, The Game of Hilarious Comparisons! is a no-set-up easy play game that’s good for hours of fun. The instructions say up to four players, but I think with this one, the more the merrier!

LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table

51NJ3M2DARL. SL500 AA280 This has got to qualify as one of the bestest toys ever. How much fun would that be if you were 12 months old?? Yeah, you know you’d be rocking out and giggling your face off. I’m actually kinda sad that all my kids are too old for the LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table this year. When were those grand kids supposed to start appearing again?

Little People Nativity

51DJ4NK326L. SL500 AA280 Last year, the Little People Nativity was my major score. I’d been looking for one for a couple of years, and they were always sold out. A friend let me know they were in stock ot FP, and I snagged one immediately. Finally a nativity my kids could touch! We left it right on the floor for them, too, but this toy belongs to Mama. I made it clear that it was MINE. I;m giving you this link early, because as we get closer to Christmas this will get harder and harder to find. Take my advice, if you want it, click now.

Stratego-Milton Bradley Board Games

Monday, October 13th, 2008

51t2CawQh3L. SL500 AA280 Here’s another fun looking game! Stratego is a war game for ages 8 and up. The object is to capture your opponents flag while protecting your own. One of the reviewers compares it to chess, and that was my thought after reading the description. I may have to get it and try it out just to see if that classic war game can be improved upon.
