  Fur
Real Friends Newborn Piglet and Lamb (Hasbro) Our testers just
love these cute little lovable critters. Their fur is soft, they make
adorable movements, are perfect take-along size and make realistic sounds.
The kids have had a blast playing with them. They are a great alternative
to a "REAL" rabbit which people sometimes get this time of year! They
don't require any "real" food, water or care and will never be dropped off at a
shelter! $12.99
 Dancing Eggs (Haba)
This game is so much fun for kids they'll be asking to play again and again. The game is comprised 9 rubber eggs, 1 wooden egg and two dice. The red dice tells
you what to do either grab the die, bounce the egg, cluck etc. The white die tells you where to put it - under your chin, in the crook of your arm etc. Just when
you think that sounds easy you have to run around the table without dropping any of your eggs. The game ends when a player drops an egg and the winner has the most
eggs. It's a great game for family fun! Age: 5-99 years $14.99
 Easter Cookie Coloring Kit
(Byrd Cookie
Company) Here's a fun treat that you can buy your
grandkids. This great kit can be done together before Easter or
given as a gift. The Easter Cookie Coloring Kit comes with four shortbread cookies printed with confectionery ink and
includes two edible ink markers for coloring and personalizing each cookie.
They come packaged in a cute little tin. "These cookies were as
much fun to make as they were to eat," reported the mother of our two
testers.
  Eggs
2007 and Springston (Ty) Can you ever go wrong
with a Beanine Baby? I don't think so, they are cute, collectible
and look great in an Easter Basket! For just about $7.95 you can't
go wrong! These are just two of the new beanies that are just
perfect for Easter!
 Starlet Shimmerella Rooster
(Manhattan Toy) Okay, this might
not be your typical Easter Basket stuffer, but this Rooster is just too
cool! With a boa and sparkley shoes I just fell in love with it at
Toy Fair. Older kids will appreciate the humor of this dressed up
rooster and smaller kids will just think it's cute! $19.95
 Chicken
Cha Cha Cha (Rio Grande Games) To say that we play this game every night wouldn't be an exaggeration.
This game is definitely one of my daughter's favorites. It combines memory and skill and is just a blast. The object of the game is to collect your opponents tail
feathers, but to do so you must remember where all the tiles are. It's a really well made game with sturdy cardboard and wooden pieces. Unfortunately for me her memory
is much better so I almost always lose! Ages 4+, $37.95
Shopping for an older grandchild? Here
are some fun suggestions that won't break the bank - or their teeth!
 Kakuro
(Franklin Electronics)
With over 1 million puzzles your grandchild will never get bored.
There are three different skill levels, a built in timer and an auto-off
feature, as well as other features including sounds. This great game
is similar to Suduko but more like a crossword puzzle with numbers.
So how do you play? Well the Kakuro grids can be any size, but the
squares inside must be symmetrical. The more blanks the harder it is
(usually) There are clues which is great if you are just starting
out. If your grandchild is already a fan of Suduko they'll love
this.
$24.95
 Crossword
Puzzle Solver (Franklin
Electronics) If you are addicted to crossword puzzles (or want to get
your grandchild addicted) and they just don't have the skills yet, this is
a fun gift. This has over 250,000 words including cities,
presidents, movies stars and more. If you're stumped it can find the
missing letters to give you the word, finds alternate solutions and more!
This is a great little gift to help a new crossword puzzler! $29.95
