Faerie Wishing Coins

First to recommend

Description

My oldest daughter has been mad for faeries since she was just a few years old. She builds them houses in the trees around our cottage in Ireland, draws countless pictures of them and believes with all her heart that they exist. So I think these enchanting coins will be the perfect addition to her magical world.....

from the site:

Faerie Wishing Coins
Just make a wish when time is right
in crystal pools, by clear moonlight
or leave in woods where fairies be
to exchange a wish, for you to see.

Seven mystical talismans from the fairy world can be used for divination, for trading with the Wee Folk or for tucking away with a wish in a secret place.

A HearthSong Exclusive:
"The ultimate makeover! This mask changes every feature on your face-and your voice, too.

Start with the mask base that renders you completely unrecognizable as a human being, and use the 18 included funny features and voice morpher to complete the transformation to robot, bug, or alien. Takes one 9-volt battery (included)."

For ages 5 and up.

Busy Boxes

First to recommend

Description

Portability. One of the greatest attributes of any toy, in my opinion. And no more so than during the holiday season when road trips are aplenty. So it's no surprise that I love these busy boxes- available in coffee shop and hospital models.

From the site:
Rooms with a view! These colorful wooden boxes really open wide - to become mini wooden stage settings just waiting for kids to bring them to life.

Fold each box's central table down from a wall painted to look like a Hospital or Coffee Shop, set it with the included linens (ruching-trimmed sheets or checked tablecloth), arrange the abundance of accessories all around and by the time the adorably dressed figures take their places, pretend-play adventures have already begun to unfold, too.

Fun for ages 3 and up.

Indoor/Outdoor Geo Dome

First to recommend

Description

What a fun way to get your Eskimo on!

from the site:
"This translucent "geodesic" dome can be any domicile, from a space station to a high-tech marketplace to a fairyland. The creative, "unstructured" structure fairly sets the pretend-play wheels turning in kids' heads.

And it's BIG, so 2 - 3 kids can play at once, the better for weaving adventures in and out of the two entrances and the lookout port in the top. Set it up indoors or out (four ground stakes are included), summer and winter."

For ages 5 and up.

Size
Measures approx. 8' long x 6' wide x 3' tall.
