This is great stuff! It is light, cuts easily with a plastic knife, can be rolled flat and cut with cookie cutters. The plastic molds that Timberdoodle sells are inexpensive and enable one to make a nice castle, or cut the pillars into coins, cookies, blocks, etc. It is dry enough that any that falls on the floor sweeps up easily. It is non-toxic but has a slight odor. It can be formed into a ball but it takes a bit of pressing to smooth it out. I recommend getting the big bag. I brought it to the table for my toddler grandson, and my adult children couldn’t wait to get their hands on it!

Bubber - 4oz Bucket

I bought one bucket of Bubber for my 4 year old great niece.  We played with it for three hours straight!  She loves it.  I ordered another bucket so we would have two colors.  Though it doesn’t “model” as nicely as play dough, I really enjoy playing with it:-) She always chooses the Bubber to play with after we finish her school work:-)  It is well worth the money.

Bubber is an amazing new product imported from Sweden; contrary to its playful name, Bubber is destined to become a workhorse in the educational market. See the numerous sizes and colors of Bubber.

We had purchased some Stikfas many years ago from a toy store, but then were never able to find them again.  The action figure is a great imaginative toy for a child.  The simple details are great for an active boy to play out scenes using the variety of pieces included in the set.  The pieces are small and could be a danger to a toddler.  Caution must also be used when changing out the figure’s pieces.  The connection points of these plastic figures can be broken if extreme pressure is applied (as in forcing the pieces together).  Despite the fragile nature of the small plastic pieces, I would still highly recommend these toys for a boy interested in action figures.  The simplicity and lack of facial detail allows a child to play without the constraints of replicating scenes from TV or other media (allowing free creative play).

Color Combi Pencil Sharpener

The Color Combi Pencil Sharpener is amazing. Expensive electric sharpeners are noisy and break; cheap little plastic sharpeners are dull and messy. This sharpener is quiet and sharpens to an angle that does not break easily. Plus it has a receptacle to catch the shavings. We tend to lose everything at our house, but even buying a few each year is worth it.
