Dear Marianne:

What can I do to buy toys for my 3 year old niece and 8 and 9 year old nephews that I do not see often or know very well?

Aunt Ava from Woodland Hills, CA
Kids remember what was given to them and from who. No one wants to be the aunt who buys the boring toys. Any gift for a child should be chosen based on age, current skills and/ or special needs and overall interest.

Magnetic Paint
Kling Magnetics



$19.95
dowlingmagnets.com

This paint is an acrylic, water-based paint with iron filings added so that magnets can stick to the wall! Most importantly, it is non-toxic and does not contain lead. (Lead in paints is very dangerous to young children)

With three steps to follow, once applied, the area is turned into a surface for magnets, progress charts or a display for artwork. The kit includes a pint of paint, roller and paint tray and covers 12.5 square feet with two coats.

Toy Tips to Parents: Time to Unplug

While tech toys are popular and some can be educational, the latest round of newcomers at Toy Fair makes it clear we're going too far into technology assisted play. It seems technology now permeates almost every kind of toy category on the toy shelves. Parents run the risk of stocking the playroom with items that undermine the important developmental aspects of childhood play.
