Wee Ones Are Gonna Get Wet: Summer Sprinklers
When it's hot, hot, hot, children like to get wet! Rather than packing up and heading to the beach or pool, cool off in your own quarters by investing in a fun-hose attachment. The inexpensive sprinklers help kiddos of all ages keep from breaking a sweat on lazy afternoons.
Non Voyage: Pitch a Tent For a Backyard Adventure
If your kids are climbing walls begging for an outdoor adventure, but time and a budget are keeping you close to home this Summer — invest in a tent or tot-sized teepee that can be used for many nights out under the stars in the backyard. Kick the adventures off with a scavenger hunt through the yard or a "hike" around the neighborhood. Barbecue up some dinner goodies — chili and franks — and nosh on smores before hitting the hay.
Shake, Rattle and Roll! Set Your Wee One Up With Safe Wheels
Strap some wheels on your offspring and let them roll wild! In-line skating, skateboarding and the like will encourage kids to get more physical activity while building muscle and coordination skills. While wheeled sports can provide hours of fun, when not done cautiously, they can easily lead to injuries.
iBert Safe-T-Seat Lets You Peddle Your Pint-Sized Pal
You know Spring is in the air when you start to see your neighbors digging their bikes out of storage, and I don't just mean the kids. If you're looking to pass your love of biking on to your tot, consider taking him along and giving him a bird's eye view on your next outing. Unlike bike trailers, front-mounted bike seats offer your lil one the ability to interact with you during the outing and help provide a better center of gravity for you, the peddler.
Simple or Swank: The Obama Girls' New Swing Set
Swing sets have come a long way from the old tire hanging from a tree branch. Yesterday, Malia and Sasha Obama came home from school to see just how far they have come. While not necessarily the most extravagant swing set, their parents surprised them with a deluxe addition that would leave most tots jumping for joy!
Toy Box: Bring a Water Rush Into Your Backyard
Though the weather may not be cooperating to the fullest extent, the calendar reading March has my mind drifting to Spring toys and outdoor fun. At the Toy Fair last month, I was lucky enough to preview a few of Step2's new outdoor products, and I was quite taken with the Water Rush Quarry ($100). A new take on the classic sand and water table, this sand box comes with an adjustable cover that slides up and over to create the ultimate race track for water, rocks, or matchbox cars.
Let It Snow: Sledding Through the Season
Let it snow! And, share the best natural wonder that Winter offers with your wee ones. This week we're celebrating the powder and slush with a series of posts on the best Winter toys, products and treats for your lil snow angels.
Toy Box: At Home in the Trees
As a child, one of my favorite poems was Shel Silverstein's "Tree House." I dreamed of having a tree house I could escape to when I needed a minute alone. Now that I am about to move, I couldn't help but go ga-ga over this Tree Top Inn designed by Barbara Butler.

I was flipping through a magazine recently and flipped out when I saw this fabulous swing set.
