These stacking felt animal blocks from The Outfit are cute. Especially the shark.
You may go back to your weekend now. The end.

It does look like fun!

Kids are little collectors, aren't they? From trains and dolls to rocks and gum wrappers, kids' special collections run the gamut. One thing's for sure, the collection is often a precious thing to the child.
Does your child have a special collection?

The first holiday toy catalog arrived in the mail last week. My boys buried their noses deep inside and started wishing and dreaming.
I felt a little overwhelmed, since Halloween hadn't even occurred yet; however, I tried to breathe and remember how fun thumbing through toy catalogs was when I was a kid.
Some of you shared similar toy catalog memories...

I do love a cardboard playhouse (not an $89 cardboard playhouse, mind you...), and this new Color Me House and Color Me Rocket can turn into hours and hours of good creative fun for toddlers. Plus, it's low impact on the planet when they're done...

In The CafeMom Newcomers Club, CafeMom grammarpolice is asking Should I or shouldn't I? in regard to regifting a child's gift.
If your kid has ever had a big birthday party or you have a big family, you know how it goes. Your child is bound to get a nonreturnable toy, book, or other gift your child already has, that doesn't fit, or otherwise.
So is it ever okay to regift the gift to another child? Take our poll.

Neither of my kids really attached to a stuffed animal toy. Do your kids have a favorite?
