Dear Marianne:
My husband and I have 2 daughters ages 3 and 5. They have so many toys and it's hard for me to get rid of them because so many of them are from family and friends but it's overwhelming! I think they have too many toys-do you have any suggestions of how many toys a kid plays with in a day and how many do they really need? I don't remember having so many toys as a child-just a few favorites. Then it's hard to get them to clean up b/c I think it
overwhelms them. What do you think?
Phil and Angie, Blue Springs, MO, parents of Marlee 5 and Jaimee 3

Peg Perego
Excavator

$119.99

This pedal-powered ride-on vehicle is a construction tractor with a front loader that carries out the same duties as the "grown up" ones. By operating the pedals and judging distances, children can maneuver the loader to have it scoop, carry and dump as often as they wish. The pedal action is ensured by a heavy-duty bicycle chain. This tractor also features a built-in dashboard with gauges, which can be seen by the child while operating the pedals. This outdoor toy improves hand-eye coordination and encourages physical activity. It develops concentration, logical thinking and offers a mental challenge while judging distances. When it is operated with skills and success, this vehicle provides a sense of pride and accomplishment. It encourages the imitation of real life (construction work), as well as self-expression and interactive play. This toy should NOT be played with on the street, near driveways or traffic. Parental supervision is recommended.
