How many of you are big fans of Animal Planet? I have to admit, Animal Planet is on our TV almost every day. When the grandchildren visit, it’s one of their preferred television stations. Matter of fact, I enjoy watching it too!

During the holiday season I’m always on the lookout for great holiday gifts for my grandchildren & god son. When I shop for gifts, I like to look for educational games and toys. Items that will “feed” their minds and help them to learn. On top of that, I want the toys and games to be affordable and super fun for them to play with.
I found all of those requirements with the next 2 items that I am featuring here in the TwoClassyChics Holiday Gift Guide. They are both made by Animal Planet and made for children ages 3 and up.
The Animals of the World Learning Pad is really a cool item. It’s an electronic learning pad the size of tablet. This one learning pad will help teach your child the names of 100 animals along with the sounds that go along with each one. There are 10 habitats to explore that include cool facts.
On the front of the learning pad you will find 5 push buttons that control the on/off feature, volume, facts, sounds and quiz modes. The back opens up so that your child can store the included animal learning cards. It runs on 3 AA batteries which are included and has a carrying handle to make it portable. Great for traveling & rides in the car to keep them busy.
You can purchase the Animal Planet Animals of World Learning Pad Interactive Toy
The Animal Planet Alphabet Puzzle is really cool too. It has 26 large pieces and once completed measures 18″ by 18″ in size. Puzzles are great for teaching kids hand-to-eye coordination, memory skills and other learning skills that they need to know.
Each piece in this puzzle represents a different animal who’s name begins with the letter in the alphabet that the piece represents. For example: A is for Alligator, B is for Bear, C is for Cat and so on. The puzzle pieces are perfectly sized for a young child’s hand. Really a cute puzzle and children love puzzles!

Both of these items would make great holiday gifts for preschool aged children…boys or girls! You can find these great toys at Walmart, Kaplan Toys, Seventh Avenue Catalog, Target and at Amazon.

For the past 5 years I’ve been blogging about the fantastic educational toys and games that Learning Resources has to offer. Matter of fact, they are one of my favorite toy stores when it comes to purchasing toys & games for my grandchildren.
Today I get to introduce you to two new educational toy sets that are new for the Spring & Summer 2015 season. These are great sets to keep the kids busy with this summer or to buy now & put back for gifts.
The New Sprouts Waffle Time! Set is great for kids ages 2 and up. This is a play food set that contains 14 durable pieces. All of the pieces are specifically sized for little hands and are realistic in their appearance. The set includes:
* Waffle Iron
* Syrup Bottle
* 4-piece Waffle
* 2 Strawberries
* 2 Butter Slices
* 2 Plates
* 2 Forks
This is a great “stand alone” play food set or get it and add to a kitchen set for your little girl. I love that all of the pieces are made out of durable plastic and they can be wiped down when dirty. It’s a compact set so it doesn’t take up a lot of space and is a set that your little one will play with for years to come!
The New Sprouts Reel It! set is way too cute! Even though it’s geared towards little boys, little girls would enjoy it too! This set is for ages 2 and up and comes with 7 durable plastic pieces. The set includes:
* Fishing Pole
* Fishing Pail
* Fishing Net
* 3 Fish
* Fishing Bobber
Your little ones will have a fun time pretend fishing with this set for sure! I love how the little fishing rod has a “faux” hook at the end and your child can use that “faux” hook to catch one of the fish via the faux ring attached to each fish.
Each of these pieces are perfectly sized for little hands. I can see this set being a big hit this summer in the kiddie pool, bath tub or while you are hanging out along the beach, river or lake (make sure kid’s have adult supervision while playing in or near water please!).
You can find both of these educational and creative toys when you shop at Learning Resources. Head on over there today and take a look around. You will love all of the educational toys & games that they have to offer.
