The flying Turtle in Action
Here is the flying turtle in action. This is one of our all time favorites! No batteries, kid powered, super sturdy ride on toy.
Just turn the handles right and left and it goes.
Frogs!

Frogs in a toy store? Hey why not.
We recently have been selling frog habitats(and they are selling like crazy). The frogs (African Dwarf Frogs) live in a little ecosystem and are water frogs. There is also a snail (to clean the tank) and a bamboo shoot (for oxygen). The really cool thing about these is the super easy care. The frogs only need fed twice a week (and we sell you a years supply of food with the tank) and the tank only needs cleaned a couple times a year.
Pretty simple! As a Mom of three kids I prefer this to a dog. Okay... sorry dog lovers.... I have had a number of dogs too. I do like dogs! BUT... my kids and husband are begging for a new dog and I know that I will be the one to feed, walk, and essentially care for the dog. Right now I am not looking for extra work. So when my kids are truly ready to completely care for a dog themselves... then maybe. In the meantime Kermit the Frog it is!
Stop by and see our new frogs!

Great Family Game - Bananagrams

This is a great, super fun game for the family. This banana unzips to reveal 144 letter tiles. There are many ways to play, but our favorite goes like this. Each player takes the designated amount of tiles (depending upon the number of players). The remaining tiles go in the middle upside down. Everyone flips all their tiles at the same time and then begins to create words. Once one player is out of tiles he yells "peel" and each player takes another tile to add to his/her "bunch" of tiles. If a player is stuck, he can "dump" a tile in exchange for three more. Once the tiles in the middle are gone, then the first player to use all his/ her tiles arranged into words calls out "banana" and is the winner.
A multiple award winning game.
2 to 7 players
