The 3rd annual Neighborhood Toy Store Day on Saturday, November 10th. The special day helps celebrate the benefits of shopping local; participating toy stores will host in-store events and activities for the entire family!
ASTRA’s has a new website: www.yourneighborhoodtoystore.org, which is packed with expert advice on toys and play for children of all ages.
I received 2 wonderful toys that can be found in Neighborhood toy stores to review.
Tobbles
“Physics interplays with design perfection. Creativity, experimentation, and innovative play take on a new spin. And do they ever spin! Six uniquely weighted Tobbles pieces to carefully balance, suitably nest, recklessly spin and tower far above your expectations. Stack, topple, spin, balance, wobble, tilt, and wiggle. Little hands delight in the never-ending discovery of Tobbles.”-Fat Brain Toys
This is an excellent toy! Baby loves it very much. She mostly likes to chew on them since that is the phase she is in right now. Her big brother who is 5 enjoys stacking them for her and she topples them over trying to grab them. They have fun playing with it together. I love that it is a toy that can be played from baby to child.
Roll & Play
“Roll & Play is the first game ever designed specifically for toddlers! To play, simply toss the big plush cube and identify which colored side faces up. Choose a matching color card and perform the simple activity shown. “Make a happy face,” “Moo like a cow” the activities supported by Roll & Play are designed to help your child shine, supporting healthy development and celebrating success! Roll & Play is the ideal way to gently introduce play patterns and rules through a loving, joyful play experience!”-Think Fun
This is such a cute game for little ones. It is a fun way to teach them their colors and development skills. My son really enjoys playing this game and rolling the big plush die then acting out what is on the card of that color. It is a cute game and I love that a baby as young as 18 months can start playing.
I love both toys I received and what great quality they are. I love that they are classic and timeless toys. Your neighborhood toy stores are packed with toys just like these. In my opinion you will get the best toys for your kids in your local toy stores.
It is so important to support your local toy stores in your community. Ten reasons to shop locally. Use the store locator on Astra’s website to find stores near you.
Join us in celebrating Neighborhood Toy Store Day this Saturday!
