Exclusive to HearthSong:
"This wheel can really roll up the track! At the flick of its zipper, the mag tire unfurls into a two-lane vinyl-and-fabric racetrack with two pit areas at each end. Set it up on the floor, sofa, hassock, backseat of a car, or wherever your travels take you.

Ingenious and imaginative, the track includes two metal race cars and slots for storing 12 standard Matchbox® cars from your collection."

A winner for ages 3 and up.

Earth Marbles - HearthSong

First to recommend

Description

Another product I own and love.

from HearthSong:
Would you like to hold the whole world in your hands? These handcrafted glass spheres are patterned after the great sphere, Planet Earth. It's such a simple concept, and so beautiful.

Each marble is handmade from recycled glass by a small company that donates a portion of sales to wilderness education. Set includes five Earth Marbles in Pouch.

The Jumbo Earth Marble features great geographic detail permanently bonded into the glass - including the world's great river systems! Set includes gift box and brass ring stand.

For ages 6 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.

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.

Sea-Scope

2 people recommended this item

Description

Ooh... I wonder if you could spot a mermaid....

From HearthSong: "Our product testers LOVED Sea-Scope" - it opened up wonderful new worlds for them to explore. Not only could they solve the big mystery of what lies beneath the surface of the water, they could magnify spiders from a safe distance of 4-5 feet and faraway objects like birds with equal clarity.

And that's not all - a temperature strip and ruler helped document discoveries made by scientific observation, and the attachable underwater Aqua LightTM flashlight improved visibility when the water was murky. Aqua Light takes two AA batteries (not included).

Totally engrossing for budding scientists ages 6 and up."

Description

Hmm... mine would look like my post-Christmas credit card bill....

from the site:

Make all those imaginary monsters come to life with the Make-My-Own-Monster Custom Design Kit. We've partnered with the talented designers and artisans at the North American Bear Co. to offer this extraordinary chance to design your very own one-of-a-kind monster.

The experience begins when you receive the Make-My-Own-Monster Design Kit, that includes colored pencils, paper, and a detailed questionnaire. With this kit you create not only what the monster looks like, but you also create a story about the monster and describe his or her personality.

Once you've completed the kit and sent it in, the designers at North American Bear Co. will faithfully reproduce your design as a plush monster, including a descriptive hang-tag that tells the story of your monster as you have described it and identifies you as the creator.

The Doctor's Office

3 people recommended this item

Description

I'm partial to this kit because it has more realistic "supplies" than many others I've come across. The lab coat can be ordered in two sizes as well. It's sold separately and comes with a personalized name badge.

Over 70 pieces.
