McFarlane Toys NHL Sports Picks Series 19 Action Figure Bernie Parent (Philadelphia Flyers) Orange Jersey

It's no surprise that the doctor's or dentist's office can be a nerve-wracking trip for many children and the waiting room is often the most distressing area of all. A child's imagination can prove to be a huge barrier to a pleasant visit. However, with a few simple elements, imagination can also make the time fly. That's why it is so important to create a relaxing and engaging space when designing your waiting area. This series of articles is designed to inform you of all the products that can help to transform your waiting room into a fun, interactive and educational space.

Space or lack there of, is certainly an issue for many waiting rooms. However there are some simple solutions that will allow you to fill the room with engrossing activities without crowding the floor. Wall panels and activity tables will provide hours of fun and require little clean up at the end of the day. This also allows for increased flow of activity without any "traffic jams." Not only can you include more of these in the office, but multiple children will be able to use them at once.

Activity cubes, are a great way to use your precious floor space to the fullest. With a total of five possible activities this type of waiting room toy can easily entertain four children at once and often more. Another bonus to the cube is that each panel contains an educational activity that will help expand the child's mind as he or she plays. Whether it is a bead maze that helps concentration and motor skills or a game that helps with tactile learning, activity cubes are sure to be a winner among the kids. Our favorites in this area are the circle of fun table by Anatex and the Happy Trails Sand Table by educo.

If floor space is simply not an option for your waiting room, why not try wall panels? Wall panels take up little space and provide decoration and entertainment all in one. These panels infuse any space with bright and friendly colors and often feature themes that are sure to spark the imagination of your patients. You can also be sure that these panels contain educational activities from mazes to fun mirrors there are a vast array of options that will satisfy both parent and child. Favorites in this area include the Outer Space Wall Panel and the Hands on Wall Toy.

Space doesn't have to be the deciding factor in creating a relaxing waiting room. With these options your waiting room can make a child's visit a pleasant one.

Customer Review: AWESOME
I got these for my son's birthday party favors. The kids went crazy over them and I have been asked several times if I have extras or where they can buy them. We have so much fun creating tricks, decorating with stickers and changing wheels a trucks. Me, my husband, our 4 and 7 year old sons, as well as our 3 year old daughter enjoy these so much. We have begun buying ramps and accessories that go with them!! It is great for dexterity and independent problem solving and analytical skills on a basic level. HIGHLY recommend!!

There are a lot of reasons why you might want an animated kind of toy. Something like a tickle me Elmo, a bouncing Tigger, or a flashy mobile for the baby. Infants, of course, really enjoy toys that make sound, lights, or movement, as this is very helpful to their sensory development. Some younger children love toy guitars that can make songs at the press of a button. Or maybe, you just have a whole bunch of headache medicine going to waste!

Whatever the case may be, there are plenty of options for these kinds of toys, and it's all a matter of knowing what your kids need, and what they like...

For Babies

Again, animated toys are very helpful to a baby's sensory development, teaching infants about light, colour, sound, and learning to interacting with the world around them.

Mobiles should be an obvious one. These can be mounted to the crib or child seat, and provide music and movement that keep the child entertained and teach them the basics of observation.

An interesting toy on the market right now would be the Rainforest 123 Musical Gym, from Fisher Price. The Musical Gym provides a soft floor mat, with a mobile on top and a mirror and ball on the bottom, for when the baby is laying on his or her stomach.

Musical Toys

There are actually plenty of real, child sized musical instruments available, including drum kits, children's electric organs, and all sorts of voice recording and microphone based toys. Of course, if that's a little too complex for your kids at their current age, there are also toy instruments, like The Wiggles Musical Guitar, which will play catchy melodies and lyrics at the push of a single button.

For Slightly Older Kids...

Remote control toys are great for pretty much any kid between the ages of eight and eighty. With technology getting cheaper and cheaper these days, RC toys aren't limited to cars anymore. Today you can get an RC Battle Tank, a Walking Mini Robosaur, or a Mini Walking Robot, featuring complex movement. The Robosaur actually raises and lowers its head, while many RC battle tanks have fully operating turrets, complete with sound effects.

For Toddlers...

Children between the ages of two and five are really focusing on learning how the world around them works, how to interact with it, and improving their motor skills. For this reason, interactive toys are a great idea for toddlers.

Toys like the Playskool Busy Ball Popper are a great choice, as they provide both entertainment, and allow for plenty of interaction, dropping the balls down the chute, hitting buttons, and watching the multicoloured balls make their way up through the toy to be dropped back in again.

The important thing is to find the toy that's appropriate for your kid's particular stage of development. Obviously, what dazzles an infant may bore a toddler, what entertains a ten year old may confuse a six year old. Know where your child is at developmentally, and selecting a useful toy should be child's play.

Green Toys Recycle Truck

There is nothing worse than a rainy day in the middle of the school holidays, when children are cooped up inside, you have nothing planned, and the inevitable cries of Im bored are not far away! Keep this list of rainy day activities ready for just such a day. Older children may enjoy choosing from the list themselves.

1. Sort through the toy cupboard:

Its surprising how much fun this can be! Get everyone together and aim to clear one shelf or drawer. You will probably find that old treasures are rediscovered, odd pieces can be thrown away, and some things will be ready to be passed down or sold. If you are not sure whether to get rid of some of the toys, try packing them away in a box and hiding them in a dark corner of the cupboard for a few months. When they come out again they will either cause a sensation, or not - which will make it easy to decide on their fate!

2. Record the sounds around you:

Get out the tape recorder and make a project out of recording everyday sounds. Try water running in the bath, someone ringing the bell and opening the door, or flushing the toilet! It certainly makes you think about things a little differently than usual. Suggest that some friends or neighbours do the same thing and then get together to see if you can identify each others sounds!

3. Make a story tape:

Grab that tape recorder and a blank cassette, find a story you enjoy, and make your own story tape! Each child can read for a while, or can take on the part of a particular character. Make the appropriate noises too! You will probably have to practice a few times to get the hang of it, and be prepared for lots and lots of giggles! Tip: a homemade story tape makes a great present for a child who has to go to hospital or is bedridden for a time.

4. Have a jigsaw afternoon:

Get out all your jigsaws and invite some friends around with theirs too! Clear plenty of space and have a marathon jigsaw session. Some libraries have jigsaws you can borrow too, and you can often find jigsaws for sale very cheaply at charity shops (thrift stores) and car boot sales (garage sales). Tip: if you buy your jigsaws second-hand and the box has seen better days, cut out the picture and store it in a re-sealable bag with all the pieces.

5. Have a mammoth junk modelling session with friends:

Invite a few families around and ask them to bring their craft-cupboard junk with them boxes, containers, and other bits and pieces. You provide glue, sticky-tape, scissors, and encouragement. You could make houses, or creatures, or boats, or modern art or you could all combine together to make one giant model!

6. Make a card house:

If you dont know any good card games or havent anyone to play with, try building a card house! Start by balancing two cards against each other so that they stand up in an inverted V-shape. Take it from there!

7. Make an indoor obstacle course:

Check with an adult that this is OK first! Use easily movable furniture (kitchen chairs, coffee tables) to mark out a course. Create a tunnel to crawl through with a blanket draped over low tables, or space cushions around the room to use as stepping-stones. You will have lots more ideas!

8. Practice balancing:

Balancing is fun! Try walking the length of the room with a book on your head. When you can do that, try balancing two or three then add a cuddly toy to the very top!

9. Create an indoor den:

A few blankets and tablecloths can create the most wonderful indoor den. Drape blankets between sofas and chairs, over stepladders and clothes-dryers, or tie the ends to cupboard knobs and door handles. Once the den is created find some special snacks, coloring pages and pencils, a CD player and music, a torch or two, and camp out for a while!

10. Play with string:

Older children can create some wonderful inventions with a ball of string and their imagination! A toilet roll and a sloping length of string make a great message chute or rocket. Get some action toys involved too: try making them a lift (elevator) out of a box or a basket and hoist them up! Adults should supervise constantly if there are younger kids around.

Sota Toys Street Fighter Revolution Series 1 Action Figure Zangief

Zangief is a gigantic muscle-bound freak, his body crisscrossed with the scars earned during his training bouts with bears. Zangief distinguished himself as the greatest of the Soviet Unionâs professional wrestlers. He was selected to demonstrate to the world the might of the Soviet Union. Zangief was shown briefly in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, during which he arrogantly disrobed from his flowing red cape in order to battle with ravenous cage-bound Blanka; Zangief subjected Blanka to a piledriver, but Blanka quickly retaliated, electrocuting and biting Zangief at the same time. Zangiefâs wrestling moves are based heavily in elaborate slam maneuvers.

The Crayola Glow Station for Kids is one of the newest in the lineup of creative toys from Crayola, and has become one of the most popular toys for kids in the latter part of 2008 - moving into the Holiday Season - and will likely be quite popular in 2009 as well.

Here's how the Crayola Glow Station for Kids works - it comes with a special light-sensitive canvas that reacts to a light-wand and allows for kids to be as creative as they like - over and over again, creating fun and very colorful glow in the dark images and pictures.

Stencils are included to create sharper, more exact images and are useful for the younger children who use it or when kids don't want to draw freehand. However, when drawing freehand, the images are softer and kids can let their imaginations go and be as creative as they like. A crystal tip can optionally be used with the glow wand to alter the light beams and create some truly magical effects!

There is another fun and interesting way that the set can be used - a dry-erase sheet (comes with the toy) can have images transferred onto it or drawn on it and used as a background for the Crayola Glow Station, allowing existing works of art or other images to be traced onto the light-sensitive canvas, making truly artistic glow in the dark works. The dry erase sheet is easily wiped clean with a dry cloth and can be used repeatedly.

The complete Crayola Glow Station for Kids set includes:

Poster-sized canvas with hanging features so it can be hung on a wall
Light wand with optional crystal-tip attachment
Stencil sheets with various and fun images (2)
Light textured sheets that images can be saved on (2)
Dry erase sheet with marker

I recommend the Crayola Glow Station for Kids as a Holiday, Birthday or "just because" gift - especially for creative children. It's such a unique way for kids to use their imaginations - and what kid doesn't love glow in the dark toys?

The only downside to this particular toy is that the images fade after some time, but that aspect of it can be compared to other toys such as the Etch-A-Sketch that can be used to make some fun works of art, but you know when you start out that they won't last - oh well!

Crayola Glow Station is for kids around 6-15 years of age, and retails for around $40.00 in offline stores.

Alex Toys Super Cooking Set

Super Cooking Set
Customer Review: Just like the real thing
My 4 year old daughter loves them. she askes to put real food in it, and I think she will play with them for years to come.
Customer Review: this is pretty small
The pots and pans are sturdy but are quite small. Also the utensils seem rather sharp.

Can you remember the great movies from your childhood, ones that really had an impact; maybe some are on this list, maybe not. There are so many great movies for kids that this Top 10 really can't do the category justice. There were many note-worthy possibilities that stand out from my own childhood that did not make the list. I've also included movies I've seen as an adult that I'm sure I would have enjoyed had they come out when I was a child.

In reverse order here are my top 10...

10. Return to Oz

In this sequel to The Wizard of Oz (made 46 years after the original) it has been six months since Dorothy returned to Kansas from Oz. Although making a good physical recovery after her tornado ordeal Dorothy can't stop thinking about Oz and can't sleep at night. Worried about Dorothy's mental health Auntie Em' decides to take her to a "special" doctor in another town. The doctor is planning electro-shock treatment for Dorothy, but with the help of a mysterious girl Dorothy escapes and returns to Oz to find things have changed, for the worse!

9. Escape to Witch Mountain

I'm really showing my age by listing this film but it may be the first movie I ever watched at the movie theatre. Tia and Tony Malone, two orphaned children, have special powers that enable them to move objects with their minds. Hot on their tail are a host of baddies who want to take advantage of the children and use them for their own gain. Befriended by a widower, they go on the run and attempt to Escape to Witch Mountain - this is a great DVD for kids.

8. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

A group of alien botanists visiting Earth are disturbed by humans and make a hasty exit. In the rush one of the extra-terrestrials is left behind. A 10-year-old boy named Elliot befriends the alien after discovering it looking for food in the family's garden shed. It's a race against time to help the alien send a message home before being found by scientists and government agents.

7. Ghostbusters

After their grant runs out parapsychologists Dr. Venkman, Stantz and Spengler are fired from their easy jobs at Columbia University in New York City. They quickly set up business in an old fire station and begin investigating and ridding Manhattan of unwanted apparitions. After an encounter with a creature named Zuul, it becomes apparent that the sudden increase in paranormal activity is indicating an unavoidable confrontation with an ancient Sumerian god known as Gozer the Gozerian.

6. Back to the Future

Marty McFly is a regular American teenager growing up in the eighties. His good friend Doc Brown has created a plutonium-powered time machine made from a DeLorean sports car. One night whilst Marty is helping out, Doc is gunned down by a group of Libyan Nationalists who Doc cheated out of their plutonium. In an effort to go back in time and stop the Doc from being killed, Marty inadvertently goes back 30 years. On his arrival he tracks down the now much younger Doc Brown and tries to convince him of who he is and enlist his help to send him Back to the Future.

5. Finding Nemo

After the tragic loss of his wife, Marlin the clown fish is left to bring up his only son Nemo on his own. Disaster strikes again when on Nemo's first day at school he swims off alone to investigate a boat. Marlin looks on helplessly as his son is scooped up by a diver and taken away. In need of help, Marlin teams up with the friendly (but forgetful) Dory to embark on a daring mission to find his lost son. One of the high points of this animated movie is Ellen DeGeneres hysterical performance as the voice of Dory.

4. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

Johnny Depp stars as Captain Jack Sparrow in this pirate adventure set in the 17th Century. Jack strikes up an unlikely alliance with Will Turner after Jack's ship, The Black Pearl, is stolen by Captain Barbossa. Will Turner's motivation comes in the form of Elizabeth Swann, a childhood friend, who has been kidnapped by Barbossa. What Will doesn't know is that Captain Barbossa and his crew are cursed to live as the undead unless once-plundered treasure is returned to its "rightful" owner.

3. Toy Story

Woody (a pull string talking cowboy) is Andy's favorite toy and spends a lot of his time reassuring the other toys that they won't be replaced. Woody's position as top toy is put in jeopardy with the arrival of space action figure Buzz Lightyear. Woody hatches a plan to get rid of Buzz, but it backfires and they both find themselves lost in the outside world with only each other for company. Their only chance of getting home is to join forces; this eventually leads to genuine friendship.

2. Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

I've lost count of the times I watched this film growing up - it's an unbeatable classic. The story revolves around Charlie Bucket whose impoverished family barely makes ends meet. Charlie lives with his parents and both sets of grandparents and has heard many stories about the reclusive candy maker Willy Wonka. The eccentric Wonka holds a contest in which five Golden Tickets are hidden under the wrappers of his chocolate bars. The prize is a day-long tour of the Chocolate Factory.

The 2005 remake of this movie was quite weak, even the acting skills and charisma of Johnny Depp and modern special effects could not compete with the genius of Gene Wilder and the totally over-the-top production of the original.

1. The Wizard of Oz

This is the story of Dorothy Gale, a young farm girl from Kansas and her dog Toto who are thrust into the eye of a tornado and transported to the Land of Oz (complete with house). On arrival Dorothy lands on and kills the Wicked Witch of the East. Pursued by the Wicked Witch of the West (her sister) Dorothy travels to the Emerald City in the hope that the Wizard can help her return home. On the way she makes friends with a Scarecrow, a Tin Man and a Cowardly Lion who all have an important journey of discovery to make.
