When we packed our suitcases to go home for the holidays I should have known better then to overpack. Going somewhere for over three weeks was justification enough to pack five pairs of shoes, but now I have to find room for the three pairs I got for Christmas. Not to mention the mountains of clothes and toys my little one got. Now we have to scrounge up another piece of luggage to put all this extra stuff. Namely his perfect little Swiffer for kids, and Toy Dyson!
I want to share his favorite toys with you
My little one loves my full sized vacuum. When he saw this kid’s size one on Christmas morning I was almost as excited as he was. It got to the point where he would ask to play with our vacuum every day so I’m glad he can vacuum along with me now. It actually suctions too! You can empty the pullout bin and it vacuums up the little balls. Pretty cool! I loved seeing his little mind work, only having to show him how to turn it on once and he knowing what to do from that point on. He’s set.
So he’s learning how to clean up messes,
here’s to learning not to make them in the first place. …Enter
Swiffer For Kids
Another little treasure. If you have wood floors and an 18-month-old who loves to push, pull, clean, etc. you have to get one of these. Nothing beats the price either!
I can tell he really appreciates having something his size that he can use alongside me. The best part is he’s really cleaning! They have microfiber cleaning pads that can be removed and washed by hand.
I hope this love of cleaning continues on through the years!
I have heard a lot of good tings about these toddler clocks. My son doesn’t have one but when I was looking on One Step Ahead’s website I noticed it and I just had to share it with you.
Here’s the description on their website:
Keep your early bird in bed until it’s time to rise, with our “stay-in-bed” picture clock! No time-telling skills needed: if the sleeping bunny’s picture is lit, that means stay in bed and snooze awhile longer. Once the “awake” bunny illuminates, it’s okay to rise. (Our child tester loved it, and actually stayed in bed…a first)! With dual nighttime/naptime settings and an alarm for later. Doubles as a nightlight, with dimmer switch.
Pretty cool eh? My little guy struggles at night sometimes and I think this clock would really help him understand when it’s time to sleep and when it’s time to wake up. It doubles as a nightlight too!
Have you seen these Color Wonder packets…everywhere? They are awesome. I liked the idea so much I had to get my niece a princess one with glitter on the pages. So cute! The markers only draw on this special paper. You can buy blank paper too. I do have a few warnings though: Be extra vigilant and keep other markers out of sight…those will draw on walls and tables. Last but not least, my nephew actually sucked all the ink out of one of his pens! My sister-in-law only found out when she noticed one of the markers stopped working…they don’t draw on skin either.

nice
Every Mom or Dad’s dream 😉
Maybe they can invent toys now that they can use to get all teenagers to drive safely. lol
Once toys like that take off, it will be easier to raise kids who have good habits. When cleaning is fun, people of all ages are more excited about doing it.
Toys like that teach kids useful life skills while they are spending quality time with their mother or father.
