Musical Jingle Bell Rock Skirt

First to recommend

Description

Hmm... wonder who will be the center of attention at the family Christmas party? I have a guess.....

from the HearthSong site:

"Jingle Bell Rock" has been played by almost every musician (as well as symphony orchestras) and rocked to by almost every holiday celebrant around the world since Christmas of 1957.

When kids step into this flounced, fabulously feminine red organza skirt that's festive as Santa's hat, slip on the jingling wristies, and start the wee music box playing, the magic of the music takes over. Suddenly, merrily, it's "a bright time, the right time to rock the night away." Imported.

Super fun, super creative, and ultra-imaginative, these multiple-award-winning building kits really connect with kids.

Big Builder includes 126 pieces, a wondrous wellspring of widgets kids can snap together to create a forklift, dump truck, crane, or utility truck.

Flight Set includes 134 pieces that morph into 4 flight-related vehicles spanning 4 different eras of flight: biplane, helicopter, rocket, and spaceship.

Both kits provide detailed, easy-to-follow schematics (including 2 characters to build) and cleverly connectable components made from EVA foam, and ABS and PE plastic.

Marble Game Carpet - HearthSong

First to recommend

Description

Just $55! What a great way to utilize floor space for fun!

from the HearthSong site:

Marble games have been favorite pastimes throughout history. All that's needed for a playing field is a place to scratch a circle in the dirt - or our colorful carpet runner with nonskid bottom.

This instant marble "court" includes lots of circles (and 48 marbles, both aggies and shooters) so you can play many different marble games indoors or out (plus instructions for two games so play can start right away).

Roll it up or leave it out - the washable nylon carpet makes a bright, upbeat addition to room décor.

For ages 6 and up.
