We all know that Santa makes everyone’s dreams come true every Christmas, but it turns out that he needs a little help getting into the holiday spirit himself. Instead of letting Santa get right back to work after he returns home to the North Pole on Christmas morning, his loyal elves want to make sure he experiences the same Christmas cheer he provides for others. |
From their homes in New York and New Zealand, cousins Noah and Nora have a competition to decide who can have the world's best Hanukkah, winter or summer, but as the eight nights of Hanukkah go on, they realize they have more in common than they thought. |

We are considering a reorganization of our picture book collection before we move over to our new building, and we'd love a bit of feedback from the caregivers of young children on how you and the children you care for would prefer this section to be organized. The hope is to subdivide our picture books into a few broad categories. We haven't finalized our list of categories, but we're thinking something like: - Concepts (ABCs/123s/Shapes/Colors/Opposites),
- Transportation (Cars/Trucks/Construction/Boats/Trains),
- Nature & Science (Natural World/Seasons/Space/Trees/Flowers),
- Growing Up (First Experiences like losing a tooth, going to the Dr., going to school, etc/Emotions/Family Changes like new siblings, divorce, etc) and a few more.
This survey has only 10 questions, and you can answer as few or as many as you like. |

Ages 2-7. The pieces are colorful, easy to hold, and they magnetically snap together and come apart again and again. Unlike many construction toys there is no " correct way" to build with Mag Builder. This allows the child to " think outside the box" and help s develop abstract thinking. An instruction sheet showing over 20 models to build is included. |
Ages 4+. Count your way to the finish line! These colorful cars are ready to rev their engines for early math learning fun. Attach the finish line to the track numbered 1-10 for a high-octane counting race up to 10, or push it into overdrive by racing to 20! Start your engines to learn counting 1-20, early addition, number sequencing, patterning, and more! |
Age 8+. Have fun learning all about electronics and circuits while building one of 600+ exciting projects with easy-to-identify color-coded parts. |
