What makes a good toy? | #playpanel
When I think about the “good toys” in our house – they aren’t the ones in the toy box. The “good toys” are the ones out on the floor – played with everyday. From what I see from the attraction of my 7 month old…a “good toy” is musical, brightly coloured and durable (read — he…

Brilliant Basics is a go-to toy | #playpanel
I have been trying (so unsuccessfully) to get things done around the house. My almost 7 month old wants, whines, and wills me to entertain him. And I get frustrated, resentful, derailed. I’m not sorry that I have this wonderful baby to entertain. I just get frustrated in that my house looks like a tsunami…
Incorporating Learning Through Play Into Baby’s Day | #playpanel
Summer is busy (LE BUSY chez nous!) between getting the big kids to camp and soccer games and family field trips the baby is in a constant state of “tag-along”. However, I’m finding that I need to decidedly incorporate baby play into our daily routines. Because for baby…playing is learning…and learning is development. One might…
Fisher-Price Luv U Zoo Jumperoo and my crazy baby | #playpanel
I would love to say my baby looks like the one pictured in the Fisher-Price Luv U Zoo Jumperoo. (I would also like to say he sleeps through the nights and never ever cries…woulda, coulda, can’t). Here is the picture comparison of the Fisher-Price Jumperoo baby and my Fisher-Price Jumperoo baby. Can you spot the difference?……
Celebrating Milestones (Big and Small) | #playpanel
Whether it be finding the perfect birthday toy or giving a present for a special occasion – celebrating milestones for little ones can be a bit of a head scratcher. What to get?! For my son’s recent baptism, I was happily surprised that a friend gifted him some Fisher-Price peek-a-blocks. I thought it was a…
Fisher-Price Makes Diapers? Who Knew?!
Parent News Alert!: Fisher-Price makes diapers. Wait. Change that. Fisher-Price makes great diapers. My 5 month old had a chance to test-drive Happy Days and Happy Nights Fisher-Price diapers. Result: not one diaper failure! (a #WIN as baby is transitioning to pureed foods and you know…when babies change to food…well…their diaper deals change too). ? My rolly-polly baby…
The Benefits of Outdoor Play | #playpanel
http://www.fisherpriceplay.ca/ So far this Spring, (on what seemed like the only two warm, sunny days, thus far) we broke out our Fisher-Price infant to toddler swing for my son. Swinging outside changed the whole mood of those days…making baby and Mom SO much happier.According to Kathleen Alfano, Ph.D. (Director of Child Research at Fisher-Price) “Playing outdoors…

Milestone Moments and Moms | #playpanel
That little, musical, stack-able, 10 year old Fisher-Price toy pictured over there has taught my 3 babies actions and consequences, melodies, hand-eye coordination and how to smile. All parents like it when toys help baby reach milestones like soothe, sense, move, discover, socialize, learn, create and imagine. This toy did it for me. Three times…
