Hello! Hello! Hello!

The Fall/Winter season JUST started on September 15th! Boy, oh boy! It is AWESOME! I am very excited about the new items and all of the fabulous products! I hope that you will enjoy browsing around my site and please feel free to ask for a print catalog! Everything can be viewed on the site, but sometimes it is nice to have something in-hand.

When you pop onto my site, you will see some changes, as well. Discovery Toys has revamped its site and the colors and content is great! I encourage you to take a look if you get a chance.

As you may or may not know, Discovery Toys goes through some tough inspections on their products. They are still in the process of this on many items which may hinder an earlier release, so if you have any questions, please let me know!

AVAILABILITY UPDATE:

AVAILABLE AT A LATER TIME:

5073 CRYSTAL SALT IONIZER Apple early October

DISCONTINUED:

3234 EZ GOAL

EZ goal note: Despite passing all independent quality and safety requirements, EZ Goal did not pass Discovery Toys’ quality requirements and we took the decision to discontinue and re-evaluate this product…an example of the lengths we go to in order to assure your customer’s satisfaction.

I'm on my way, as I write this, to label a bunch of catalogs for mailing! Of course, I have my "toy testers" to help today - as they very much want to! - Anything to do with Discovery Toys! :)

Happy Playing! :)

A FEW SALE ITEMS FROM COUNTDOWN TO SCHOOL:

If you have a little one who is just starting school, let them take a friend to school! The FROG BACKPACK is adorable and a great way for them to have a companion along on their day!

The BRAIN GAME is a wonderful new game for the whole family! Use your noggin' and have fun all at the same time!

The COUNTDOWN RACER is excellent for toddlers! It can take off and return, play 7 different languages, 10 different melodies, and 10 different musical notes to create your own tunes!

Fun! Fun! Fun!

AVAILABILITY UPDATE:

And...sadly....:(

**EZ GOAL has been discontinued and will not be available this season. The initial shipment, while passing all governmental regulations, did not meet our high quality standards. EZ GOALs previously on backorder will have been refunded.

I was really looking forward to EZ Goal, but maybe they will eventually replace it with something similiar. You just never know! :)


...I'm STILL counting down....the NEW Fall Line is almost here! Tick...tock...tick...tock...

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!

I'm sure just about everyone is back in school now. My son started on the 27th of August and is doing very well so far. He likes his teacher and he is going to a bigger school (2nd - 6th grade), so there are plenty of new friends to be made (for me, maybe, too)! I am looking forward to a great year!

I just can't believe it is already September and that the holidays are just a hop, skip and a jump away! Where did the year go?

I'm gearin' up to introduce a FABULOUS Fall/Winter Line from Discovery Toys, Inc., so stay tuned! It's almost here! Kick-off is September 15th!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

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!

Availability Update...And A Toy Of Choice For The Week!

And now...I'd like to tell you a little about a product taken from The Brain Power Sale since the sale is ending rather shortly (just a few more days!). It's a product that I feel is valuable in a lot of ways.

COLOR, CRAFT, & CARRY Item #2227


Artfully customize your school supplies in vivid colors. 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.

Quality Promise

Discovery Toys promises that all of our products meet or exceed all standards set by the US and Canadian governments regarding safety. All products are tested for flammability, hazardous materials and toxic elements - including lead, by an independent laboratory prior to shipment from domestic and foreign manufacturers. In an ongoing effort to ensure the quality and safety of our products, we regularly review the labor practices, raw materials and manufacturing processes used by our vendors.

This has been taken directly from the DT site. I think that it's important for everyone to know. Quality is the key!

And...you can add "Word Flip" from the Brain Power Sale as yet another item that is quickly depleting! Great minds are working all around the country and this fun product is running out soon!!

TIME'S 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!

Happy Weekend, Everyone!

I hope that everybody is doing fantastic today! The weather is warm and the kids are outside playing in the backyard. Because they are being kept busy at the moment, I thought this would be a great opportunity to let you know what is on the most recent "DT" agenda! - Now, of course that is what I'm here to do, right? :)

Well, I was unable to attend convention this year (even though it was RIGHT BY ME), but I have lots of the scoop on things that are up and coming as well as some great promotions happening RIGHT NOW!

First things first!

The BRAIN POWER SALE is rockin'! It lasts through August 17th! Don't miss out on some terrific savings!

The 6 in 1 PLAY CENTER is 20% OFF through August 14th! This is really a cool product that can be used either outside or indoors.

I am LOVING this great Spotlight Kit for grandparents! I think it's really a fabulous way for grandparents to be involved with their grandkids as well as be prepared for upcoming holidays, celebrations, and just because. It is available until August 14th.

I don't want to give TOO much away here, but the Fall/Winter line is going to be HOPPIN'! VERY exciting stuff is going to be happening! Lots of AWESOME new products as well as a very exciting joint-venture with another popular toy company!

I'm so excited! I can't wait!!

Until next time, enjoy your weekend and enjoy your family! :)

BRAIN POWER SALE!

Just when the kids thought they would have time to actually sit down and say, "I'm bored!", Discovery Toys, Inc. announces a fabulous BRAIN POWER SALE with up to 60% off selected items!

Did you ever think that having some fun playing while actually learning would ever go hand-in-hand? It definitely does when you make educational purchases from Discovery Toys, Inc.!

There are so many great items included in this sale. From Teddy Tower for babies to Science Wiz invention products for older kids! Believe me when I say that you are sure to please someone special in your life with an amazing product from this sale!

Happy Brain Power!!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their 4th of July! We didn't do too much, but it was a nice day at home. I did feel like something was missing. We usually have a BBQ or something, but not this year. We opted to just enjoy some family time here at home alone.

It's been warm today, so I'm headed outside to play with HOPPITY POP SPRINKLER - oh wait...the kids are included, of course! The kids won't stop asking me when we are going to go, so...here we go!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK, EVERYONE! :)

Hi, everyone!

I don't know about your end of the world, but over here...it is getting mighty toasty! The weather is heating up and it surely feels like Summer! Yeah!!

Hydroblast came back on the scene for a very short time. I think that as soon as I sent out an e-mail to everyone on my mailing list (because I was excited to see it back), it depleted! Such luck!

Not to worry! There are still plenty of great outside toys for everyone to enjoy this Summer! Take a peak over at the wonderful sales happening as well as items from the catalog!

I have been finding myself a tad tired lately during the week from work. Because I haven't had the energy to run around outside too much, the kids have been indoors during the late afternoon and evenings. They have been keeping themselves very busy running around. My son LOVES to set up Marbleworks in the hallway on the hardwood floor. He has come up with some great raceways! Maybe he's a future architect! :)

My daughter, Lena, just turned 3 last week (Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!). I bought her Pour Some More which is a pretend coffee pot. It comes with a creamer, 2 spoons, plates, and cups. You can even brew water! She is loving that! She likes to "make coffee" just like Mommy and Daddy! If you are interested in purchasing it, please let me know. It's marked as a "special write-in" while supplies last, so you won't be able to see it on the site.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful June and now here's to July!

Happy 4th Of July, everyone!

FUN! FUN! FUN!!

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!

I'm happy to announce that the HYDRO BLAST is back for a limited time only!

Get this fabulous water toy and blast away while supplies last!!

I have 2 and my kids absolutely love them - and so do the adults! Remember that yo are never too old to play!

Order yours today!
