Discovery Toys is gearing up to launch their Fall/Winter 2007 line along with their catalog. Every year they discontinue older items to make way for the new ones. I see some really great items they are going to be discontinuing and hope that you will take advantage of placing an order before you can no longer get them.

I am sad to see the TRY ANGLE go as well as THE WAY I FEEL book.

My daughter is 3 (as I've mentioned a zillion times before, I'm sure!) and she still LOVES to play with the TRY ANGLE. She has had it since she was 1 year old. She started out pushing and looking. Now she likes to count and tell me the names of the colors on the toy. It's very versatile.

THE WAY I FEEL is something that both of my children enjoy. They like to act out the feelings shown on each page. It's a great way of expression. It's also a good tool to use (as I've found) for them to let you know how they feel about certain things. You can play games with it and get to know your child even more!

If you have questions or need my help, please let me know!

It's a product that I feel is valuable in a lot of ways.

World landmarks, sports illustrations, and garden life designs let you add your favorite colors without making a mistake. 9 black plush inserts in assorted sizes and 6 washable markers. Insulated tote with adjustable strap is great for carrying a meal or school supplies (not included). From 4 years & up.

FROM THE BRAIN POWER SALE...

BUSY TIME Playbox


I want to highlight a really great item from the sale. My daughter has this and it is truly something that engages them for quite some time. I am pulling the features and benefits of this directly from the site's flyer so I don't miss anything.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Invites exploration in pattern recognition, sorting by shape and color,

and memory skills.

• Spinning the gears and fitting the pieces into the slots encourages

hand-eye coordination.

• Inner space lets children learn to rely on senses other than sight – and

to process that information cognitively – to identify pieces hiding inside.

• Assortment of pieces and shapes promotes sorting and classifying.

• Playful “toolbox” shape makes this play center portable and lets children

explore on the go.

• Great take-along activity center for travel.

SPECIAL NEEDS APPLICATIONS

• Multiple sensory opportunities promote exploration.

• Matching shapes and colors provide increased opportunities for success.

• Inner space lets children with low vision identify pieces by shape.

From 18 months - Preschool (A,K,V)

I love the colors! They are bright and inviting - standard primary colors. Fun for a nice span of early age as well as special needs (as you can see from above).

Love it!
