hullabaloo

This game by Cranium is great for indoors or outdoors. Any age can play it. Our girls play with it outside a ton. Basically, you just lay out shapes with colors and pictures on them all over the ground. Then you have a console that announces what to do next. They do crazy dances, they crawl to their spots, just a ton of different imaginative things to do.

chair and tables

I wanted a little set of chair and tables for my 3 year old's room for her to have tea parties. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but at the same time I didn't want a cheap set. I looked all over the place and finally found this set at IKEA for super cheap. It was solid wooden set, so I could easily stain or paint them. I ended up painting the chairs pink and the table white. Now my girls have a place to color, play games, and have their tea parties!

checkout lane

I had been eyeing this at Pottery Barn Kids for quite some time. It finally went on sale - super cheap! (in store is always cheaper than online) So I had to pick it up. The only negative thing about it is that if you put to heavy of an item on the belt it's hard to make it roll. Everything else is great. It's fun, b/c we have the shopping cart and food. Now my daughters have a place to buy all the stuff after "shopping."

baby stella

We have Baby Stella at home and my daughter loves her. She is super soft and has a magnet under her mouth so her pacifier and bottle will stay on. We have a Baby Stella Diaper Bag, so my daughter can change her diapers. We also have the bowl of cereal and peas. We are about to go on vacation and my daughter plans on her being the one doll she is allowed to bring. She has a back pack that she straps her in and can carry her around in.

there's no place like home

My 3 year old LOVES her dorothy shoes. She wears them almost every day. We live in Kansas, so I guess it only makes sense. During Halloween you can get them at Target, I think. She saw them at a toy store one day and begged forever to get them for her birthday. Luckily, my grandma needed an idea, so it was the perfect thing. She was so excited to get them.

baking cookies

My 3 year old got this for Christmas and we have a blast with it. I think Melissa and Doug thought of everything. It comes with a cardboard cookie tube that looks like what you get when you buy cookie dough at the grocery store. It also comes with a fake wooden knife, baking sheet, oven mit, and we can't forget the cookies. Basically it uses velcro to attach the icing to the cookie part and to attach the cookie part to the baking sheet. So my daughter can slice the velcroed cookies with the knife, load the tray up, bake them, and then frost them. It's such a cute set.

hey, what's cookin'

I wanted my daughter to have a pretend stove, but I don't have a play room nor a lot of space in her room. That means I couldn't buy one of those larger cute retro stoves. However, I found this one and it was perfect. It stores all of the toys and it also folds under so it's flat to store. My daughter loves cooking on this thing. We have pretend tea parties all the time, so this was a good thing to have. She had all this food and no way to cook it. I bought this one at Pottery Barn Kids - of course I waited for it to go on sale. Since then it even came down another $10.
