Thanks to having a daughter and a grand daughter I am pretty good at picking out the right toys & games for little girls. However, when it comes to buying cool things for little boys…well, I stink at that! Luckily for me, my hubby knows …
Now that it is the end of September, I am already starting to pick up holiday gifts for my friends and family. I am starting early this year and I am hoping to be completely done with my holiday shopping before December 5th. How about you, have you started yet?
Anyway, I have a 5 year old god son who loves to play with Play-Doh and he is also a big fan of Tonka Chuck & Friends. This next toy that I am going to feature for all of you is just perfect for little boys ages 3 and up.
The great folks over at Hasbro sent me the Play-Doh Diggin’ Rigs Boomer the Fire Truck to review for all of you. The play set comes with the Boomer Fire Truck and 2 plastic tubs of Play-Doh. In addition, there are some smaller accessories that are included like the cab book mold, plastic fire ax and 2 stampers to make the set totally interactive with the Play-Doh.
Basically the child uses the Play-Doh to build a scene. They shape bricks & pretend fires with the book molds and then press out Play-Doh water (through the fire truck) to save the day. Super fun!
I gave this set to “C” a few weeks ago when I was babysitting him and the Princess “G”. The two of them love anything that has to do with Play-Doh so I knew this set would keep them busy for hours…and it did! They worked really well together making and setting up their “fire” scene and then riding in to save the day with Boomer the Fire Truck which is a really nice size. It is NO dainty truck! All of the little accessories store directly onto the fire truck except the 2 plastic tubs of Play-Doh.
I just love Hasbro and all of the toys and games that they make. I remember buying lots of Hasbro items when Jenelle was a little one and now that I am a grandmother, I am buying Hasbro toys & games all over again.
This Play-Doh Diggin’ Rigs Boomer the Fire Truck is a fabulous item! It is definitely one you should add to your shopping list this holiday season.

When I was a little girl I would spend a lot of time doing various arts & crafts projects with my mother and grandmother. Over the years I have grown to love all kinds of different crafts and dabble in crochet, knitting, painting, beading, scrapbooking …
Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Learning Resources who makes a wide variety of educational toys and games for children. When you visit the Learning Resources web site…you can shop as a Parent or as a Teacher. Furthermore, you can shop by age group, category, by brand or by subject. I love how user-friendly the Learning Resources site is!
You will find activity sets & books, construction sets, active learning & play sets, discovery & exploration sets, electronic toys, games, puzzles, water & sand toys and a whole lot more! Everything on their site is extremely well-made and affordable.
New for 2014 is the New Sprouts Healthy Lunch Play Food Set from Learning Resources. If you have been following our blog for awhile now, you will already know that I LOVE all of the educational toys from this great company and this item is NO exception! It is fabulous!
The Healthy Lunch Set comes with:
* Market Basket
* Bowl
* Turkey Slice
* Lettuce Leaf
* Tomato Slice
* 2 Pretzels
* 2 Slices of Wheat Bread
* Yogurt Cup
* Strawberry
* Red Apple
* Blueberry Cluster
* Raspberry Cluster
* Carrot
I gave this set to my 5 year old grand daughter a few weeks ago and she loves it! She owns several of the play food sets from Learning Resources and one of the great things about this is that they can all mix ‘n match with one another.
All of the goodies are perfectly sized for a child’s hands and they all nestle within the market basket for storage. If they should get dirty, clean-up is a snap…just wipe then down with a little soap & water and then towel or air dry.
Our photos show Gia playing with her new play food set with her pretend kitchen. As you can see, they are perfectly sized to fit within the refrigerator, beverage dispenser, oven, stove-top, whatever. That is important to know because I have purchased play food before that was too small or too large for the standard size play kitchens & accessories (like plates, bowls, pots & pans). They are PERFECT!
This set is great because it contains all healthy foods, something we all need to be talking to our children about and teaching them to make healthier choices when it comes to eating food!
You can purchase the Learning Resources New Sprouts Healthy Lunch
