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

Carnival Mirror



$25
carenivalmirror.com

The 24" X 52" unbreakable distortion mirror is made of a thin, flexible and reflectible material that is easily mounted onto any wall, door or flat surface by non-marking adhesive tabs. A child can manipulate his/her reflection in the mirror (skinny, large, short, tall, funny, scary) by adjusting the sticky tabs. The mirror can also be rolled for storage. As a fun accessory to a playroom, playing with the mirror can stimulate a child’s imagination and creativity.

Toy Tips to Parents: Time to Unplug

Don't over stuff the toy box with tech toys. When is technology too much technology?

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.
