I am always a big ‘ole sucker for items that are personalized. I must say that you absolutely can’t go wrong with any of the Name Puzzle Stools that Damhorst Toys has to offer. I received the Large Name Puzzle Stool and have been completely impressed.

About Damhorst Toys:

The Damhorst Toys company is currently owned by Kris Damhorst and his sister Megin Cassimatis. Their
parents, Don and Carol Damhorst, started making unique handmade wooden puzzles in 1971 for them as children. They observed how much those puzzles taught them perception, problem solving and patience. It was great for them to see how these toys gave them such a great sense of accomplishment.

Soon, many friends started asking for items to be made for them. A little while later, they started selling their toys and puzzles in St.Louis specialty shops. In the early 70’s, Don and Carol began exhibiting at Art & Craft fairs throughout the country, meeting other craftspeople and future customers.

In February of 1998, they moved the business out of their home and to a much larger shop in Hermann, Missouri. In 2004 Megin and Kris took over ownership full time.

The products are all sold direct. This is so that they can make sure [Read more…]

Who doesn’t love finding personalized items for your child or that special person in their life? I was lucky enough to be able to work with Zoey’s Attic on an awesome Sibling Shirt Set.

About Zoey’s Attic:

Zoey’s Attic officially launched in November 2006 by creator and owner , Erin Delanty. She got the inspiration shortly after having her first child. She had the problem finding out of the ordinary newborn baby tees as well as had friends that were having a hard time finding unique big brother/big sister gear.

Erin has a background as a graphic designer, as well as a web developer. She decided to use that background to design her own line of products.

The initial idea of the store was to create a web-based shop where new parents and parents-to-be could involve all members of the family in exciting “baby news” by offering a variety of pregnancy or baby announcements and hard-to-find big brother/sister tees.

They now offer many products that the whole family can share in.

Where did the name come from?

Zoey was the name of one of her daughters early favorite toys when she was young. The toy was given to her by Erin’s mother and she thought it was a great way to connect three generations. ….and everyone knows that there are wonderful, unexpected [Read more…]

My little fella just started his summer break. We all know that kids lose a lot of knowledge over the summer- Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Some students also lose more than two months in reading achievement. (Cooper, 1996) Parents consistently cite summer as the most difficult time to ensure that their children have productive things to do.

I personally am not a huge fan of plugging kids in all day, or letting children have free reign over mom and dad’s tablets and phones, they are expensive and not made to be used as toys. So many kids are plugged in all day as it is, not spending enough time playing outside or playing games or with mom and dad. However, a little educational play goes a long way, and there is a time and a place for technology. In today’s modern world, there is a need to let kids have technology to a degree. Why not let them use tablets made for kids, like the VTech Innotab.

The VTech InnoTab 2S has safe, educational content hat you choose yourself, as well as the ability to take pictures, video, do artwork, and more. In certain games, you can replace your favorite characters face with your own or whomever you choose. There is also an MP3 player, and you can download and read e-books as well.

Released at the same price point as the original InnoTab, VTech has refreshed it’s product to include a more modern tablet feel. Including a new rotatable camera and video recorder, secure Wi-Fi and personalization utilized by up to four users.
