Toddlers
Little Builders Construction Vehicle
(by Mega Bloks, ages 1-5, $9.99)
These fun little cars were really enjoyed by our little
testers. The come as a dump truck, cement mixer and backhoe. The tops are
interchangeable as are the bottoms and they come with additional block
pieces. These little vehicles make for great restaurant play toys while
waiting, and are also great for traveling - if you keep the case! A big
winner for a small amount of money!

- by Crest
($5.99)
These funky toothbrushes come in cool styles. In addition to the
walkie-talkie shown here, there's a mermaid, racecar, and cellphone. A kid who picks up a SpinBrush won't want to stop brushing. This
will come in handy after all those sugary holiday goodies!
 Matchbox
Cars - by Mattel ($6.99)
Matchbox cars don't come in cute little boxes like they did when I
was a kid -- but they're are still as fun as ever! The perfect little gift for boys or girls, Matchbox cars are easy to carry in the car, to a
restaurant, or on play dates. This neat little set has five cars -- enough to share with everyone!
 Thomas
Trains - by Learning Curve ($9.99)
If your grandchild is a train buff, you'll know what type of smile
Thomas and his friends can bring. This is a great add-on if your grandchild already has a train
set. Other designs retail for up to $12 or $13. This train is wooden and 2
inches high with black plastic wheels. It has magnetic bumpers at the ends
so each vehicle can linkup and is designed for the click-clack track.
 Bubbles
- by Little Kids, Inc. ($9.99)
Toddlers love blowing, chasing, and popping bubbles. The nice thing
about Little Kids bubbles is that the containers are spillproof, so even tiny hands won't lose the fluid if they drop the holder on the floor.
