7-Story Parking Garage by Melissa & Doug

First to recommend

Description

I bought this last year for my son and it is still one of his favorite toys. Doesn't have a scratch on it, either, which speaks well for its durability. It fits several sizes of vehicles and has a little gas station and car wash at the bottom plus an elevator that transports the cars all the way to the top where they roll out and race down the ramps. A definite favorite in our house.

Digital Weather Station

2 people recommended this item

Description

Just think little fashionistas! This will help you know what coat and shoes to wear to school!

from the site:
Learn to interpret the weather answers that are blowing in the wind. Once you've set up your own weather station, you can use your high-precision wind-speed meter - and tools that measure temperature, humidity, and other weather indicators - to put together a complete weather outlook.

Build a barometer, measure air pollution, rain, and rain pH, and best of all, have fun learning with the 32-page activities book. Wind-Speed Meter can be hand held, too!

Also includes 2 thermometers, collecting vials, measuring cylinder, pipettes, balloons, lighted storage case (and more). Requires 3 AAA batteries and 2 AA batteries, not included.

For ages 8 and up.

Touch Screen ATM Coin & Bill Machine

First to recommend

Description

As close to the real thing as you can get! Your child gets an ATM card and secret pin number to use in their very own home machine. The light-up touch screen does everything from show their balance to their deposits (coins are recognized too!). Very cool way to get your kids interested in saving.

Mermaid Cookbook

First to recommend

Description

I bought this last year for my mermaid-obsessed daughter and she still uses it many months later. Personally, I think they could have been a teeny bit more creative with the recipes but the ones they do have are lovely.

My Cleaning Trolley

First to recommend

Description

My kids have all gone through a stage (starting when they were toddlers) of being fascinated with cleaning. Unfortunately, my ten-year-old has outgrown it, lol. But this is one of the best versions of a cleaning trolley I've seen. The vacuum even has sound effects.
