Good Morning All!
I've been doing a wee bit of online shopping this morning, in my beat up Lulus, which is why I love online shopping. I don't have to leave the house with my looney toon kids throwing fits in the store.
I've found some GREAT, awesome things for kids this morning, all from Canadian online stores!
Now, before I start, I have to tell you, I have three kids, 2, 4 and 6. My house is filled from top to bottom with toys. The husband and I decided, well 5 years ago, that we couldn't take it any more! You know that David Shannon book "Too Many Toys" ...that's my house. There are a few things that the kids routinely play with, and the rest is filling up space (enter the garbage bag).
This year we want to do Christmas differently. No more crappy plastic toys. Enter, wooden toys that last longer (and we can pass down to the next set of kids), activities like dancing lessons for Christmas. RESP 's please!
So without further ado, here are some fantastic places to get some quality toys for your kids!*
Tiny Foot Print Toys:
I love this store. I got this puzzle for my mathematically inclined son a while back. It comes in little bag so we can take it on a plane when we are traveling this Christmas.
Play and Learn Toys
How much do I LOVE these chairs? I need them.
Dote Baby
Clothes are a necessity...and whether they like it or not, it's getting wrapped and put under the tree. It's ok - Santa doesn't need to bring the clothes, Mama doesn't mind getting the dirty look when they open up the new t-shirt.
So what else have you got? Give me your greatest places to buy for kids! Aside from Sprogs, of course :)
*Editors note. We will still be obliged to buy the Star Wars Lego, because if we don't my son may lose his noodle and lose all faith in Santa. Which makes me think of this (which I found on Pinterest):
