[blparent] Gift Ideas

[Veronica Smith]

There are so many toy tools.  I love the bench with hammer, screw drivers
and wrenches as well as the power tools.  What I don't like is the chain saw
or guns. V

Let's see.  We don't plan to go overboard, but a couple of the things we are

thinking about are a toy clock that is shaped like an owl, a drum, and a 
little toolbox with a plastic hammer and screwdrivers in it.  Sarah, who is 
twenty-one months old today, has gotten fascinated with watching her daddy 
work at his bench fixing clocks, so we thought if she had her own tools, 
that might be good.  She's gotten a sense of rhythm lately, which is why we 
are thinking about the drum.

Doesn't your baby have a big sister?  It might be fun to get something the 
two girls could play with together.  There are some nice toys on Melissa's 
Discovery Toys site that Sarah likes to share with anybody who will take the

time.  One is a caterpillar that works on a spring so you can send it 
scooting across the floor to each other.  Sarah's still learning about 
turning the caterpillar around to get it going the right direction, but she 
loves it.  The other toy we bought is a ship that is built like a little 
ramp.  You drop small plastic balls into the top, and they roll down and 
come out the bottom.  The toy sounds simple, but it keeps Sarah entertained 
for hours.

Good luck!
