Hot Christmas Toys

Melissa and Doug Cook’s Corner Wooden Kitchen $71.75

The colorful wooden kitchen is sturdy, built to withstand even the toughest of toddlers, and features a red, white and blue theme. It includes a three burner cooktop and an oven with knobs that click. There is a removable sink with a tap. And lots of storage in the refrigerator and shelving area beneath the bench top.

The height of the bench top is a very good, suiting children of different ages. It has a super little work area, complete with cutting board. And, for your detail oriented budding cook, there’s even a real working timer, too.

While it may sound like this toy kitchen will need an entire room with all its features, it’s actually a compact role-play toy. Some other toy wooden kitchens do take up lots of room, and that’s fine as long as you have the extra space. This little wooden kitchen, however, is so compact it’ll fit nicely into most children’s rooms or playrooms without being in the way.

Some assembly is required, but from all reports, Melissa and Doug’s toy kitchen is easy to put together. 

You could spend a lot more on a toy kitchen and get a few more features, but for a really good basic toy kitchen that can provide hours of role playing fun, you should consider buying the Melissa and Doug Cook’s Corner Wooden Kitchen.

The Alex Little Jumpers Trampoline was designed with the energetic toddler in mind. It can provide exercise and fun in one fabulous toy, making this hot Christmas gift a fabulous find any time of the year.

A brightly colored little trampoline, it will keep children entertained for hours, or until they fall asleep completely exhausted. Perfect for rainy days when all they want to do is be outdoors, this trampoline will help get rid of some of excess energy while indoors. Kids adore jumping on it to music, or while they’re watching television.

At times, coming up with effective active play can be challenging. The Little Jumpers Trampoline promotes both exercise and active play at the same time. If it is time to get your little one up and moving, then having a trampoline inside, such as this one, is a great idea. Not only that, but when they feel like having a jump themselves, they can very independently climb on and off as and when they want to.

The Little Jumpers Trampoline is fully padded along the outside to safeguard if any falls should occur. The handle is also padded, making it easy for little hands to grip and hold. Colors are lovely and bright, attracting most toddler’s attention almost immediately.

This little trampoline is super easy to assemble. The legs are spring loaded so all that is required is to open the legs and attach the bungee cords. Then place padding on and your child is off and jumping.

This is not a huge trampoline. It is set low so that children can get on and off it easily. At 34.5 inches wide by 34.5 inches deep, it won’t overcrowd your room either. It can hold up to 80 pounds, so it will suit quite a few growing children of different shapes and sizes.

Kids being kids, have come up with lots of other uses for the Little Jumpers Trampoline. It is really nice to just lay about on if they are not feeling energetic and maybe do some reading or quiet play. It has also become a useful part of fort construction as it can provide two levels, one underneath and one above.

The Alex company has built toys since 1986, expanding its lines every year. It has won numerous awards and honors in the toy industry for top quality toys. From this, you can be assured that you’re buying quality in the Alex Little Jumpers Trampoline.
