Dear Marianne: Are there any toys that will help my preschool daughter learn to share? Peggy, Cleveland, OH, Mom of Katie (3 1/2)
I would suggest toys that promote turn-taking. Board and card games encourage this while having fun. Be sure to play with her and really emphasize how proud you are when your child waits for a turn. Clapping, verbal encouragement and positive reinforcement will make this all part of the game. She may soon realize that sharing can be fun.

Pashmina
Global Gardens



$95

This 100% pashmina baby blanket is an elegant gift for an expecting mom that can also double as a scarf for mom. Imported from Nepal, the pashmina is the wool spun from the chin and underbelly of Himalayan goats. The blanket is hand-dyed and loomed. This makes a wonderful keepsake that can be handed down. This can be customized with a hand-embroidered baby's name (extra $5 cost) in white letters. The blanket is 36" x 40 and can easily fit in a diaper bag or used as a stroller blanket or for light swaddling.

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.
