Given how much we dislike chasing tiny pieces of train tracks and teensy little doll shoes down the space between airplane seats, it comes as no surprise that we are big fans of these self-contained, double sets of cards. But it's not just that we are crazy about the way that they pack 300 fully-illustrated questions and answers into two decks of impossible-to-pry-apart card (although we are), we really love ...

These craft books from the Chicken Socks line are true lifesavers, and it seems that we adore each new one even more (if possible) than the last volume we fell in love with. This one is particularly sweet, and it positions your preschooler as the host of an "utterly elegant" tea party, which amuses us to no end. This one includes both a tiny, plastic tea set (which is great ...

All kinds of amazing imaginative play will go on inside, much of which you'll never know about - and that's the whole point. One moment the tent will be a castle, the next a rocket ship to the moon, then a lion's cave, and all kinds of other things only a preschooler can dream up. ...

This magnificent zoo scene has particular charms for kids of all ages. (Do keep the infinitesimally small pieces out of the hands and mouths of under-3 kiddos.) We love how well made this set is, and we love listening to the chatter it generates as the zookeeper in your house (no, not you, for once) looks after all the animals. If you are in the market for something more elaborate ...

And then he can move them around and do it again. And again. When your flight is delayed and the airport is resembling a zoo in a way that isn't even remotely fun, this little scene may just save ...

We all know the song: "There were five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head."

A walk to the park, a hike in the woods, an hour in the garden - from a small child's perspective, these are all opportunities for observing, touching and picking the many specimens of plant life that surround us. Flowers are a special draw, and we've known a few of our Savvy kiddies to become mildly obsessed with collecting them (okay, maybe not so mildly - when were preschoolers ...

Your little one is fully versed (pun intended) in the joys of rhythm and rhyme, so let him loose! Speak his mind (or write it) and see what clever little thoughts he's got in there. You already think his spare little spoken sentences are poetry, so deem them so officially. Okay, okay, your preschooler can't write yet, but you can slap these over-sized magnets up on the fridge and help ...
