Pretend Play: Books and toys for kids


Alex Pirates of the Tub Bath Set


For the pirate-in-training who isn't perhaps ready for all the small pieces of the pirate ship or the intricacies of a puzzle, this bathtime set is a true gem. Lots of pieces (good for sharing among sibling pirates), lots of fun. Soapy clean pirates - our favorite kind of all! Read More >

Fisher Price Imaginext Adventures Pirate Ship


This model ship, complete with figures, swords and other essential accoutrements, is a step up from the Little People version and yet more charmingly preschool-oriented than the movie themed (and more expensive) flotilla for the bigger kids. It is packed with action - lots of moving parts and action elements, all designed to spark your little swashbuckler's imagination. Do keep the small pieces out of the reach of the younger ...

Beachwood Nativity Set


If you are introducing the story of the Nativity to your preschoolers, there's no better way to bring it to life for them than to give them their own cr?e to set up and play with. Haba is a trusted toy-maker of the highest quality, and we love the design of this set. It's sturdy and child-friendly, yet these wooden pieces are lovely enough to do justice to the tale ...

Imagine You're a Pirate


This is a perfect primer for pirate behavior. A script for the preschool pirate method actor, if you will. It doesn't mince words: pirates are robbers, let's remember, and they adhere to a code of not exactly being nice guys. But you can indulge a little raucous behavior when it's during pretend time, and perhaps it is handy to have a "walk the plank" threat ready if that pirate appears ...

Your little one is ready to be the ringmaster! Read More >

Kings Big Bucket of Dinosaurs


What makes dinosaurs so fascinating to the preschool set? Perhaps it is the fact that they inhabited a world devoid of humans, and most certainly devoid of grownups. They were free to run amok, free from exhortations such as "time for dinner" or let's clean up your room now." So let's let our little ones immerse themselves in that fantasy of prehistoric chaos with a play scene complete with a ...

Fortamajig


Sure a preschooler can throw a blanket over a couple of chairs and have a fort/castle/tunnel in no time. The hitch is that in no time that same blanket is very likely to slip off the chair and fall onto said preschooler's head. Well, we're here to tell you about a fabulous solution to this vexing, age-old problem. The Fortamajig is a thingamajig that helps kids builds forts (of course ...
