Christmas Gifts
Okay Mamas, I have another question for you. What do you recommend as gifts for a 3 yr old and a 21 month old? My oldest loves Dora the Explorer and all things hands-on like games and musical. The baby is all about baby dolls and is showing signs of music interest. Any advice?

These SPy Bags are cute little toys for toddlers:
And I know I have seen little musical sets at toy stores, that come with little triangles, horns, tamborines... those would be so cute for the younger child.

N.,
The two suggestions I have are this: for the 21 month old I would buy a play kitchen since she loves dolls. My best friend just bought her daughter (just turned 2) a kitchen because she loves to "feed" her dolls. As for the oldest, you might check into the Smart Cycle by Fisher Price. Here is a link to their site: http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=30&e=whatsnew&.... Hope these help out.

Well...I am not sure about the musical part but I do have an idea that might work for your hands-on daughter and your doll loving baby girl.
I run a traveling Stuff-N-Fluff business. I come to you to do parties for Birthdays, Daycares, Scout Troops, etc. but I also sell my animals as kits to go to give as gifts. If you have ever been to BAB in the mall it is somewhat like that. I have an assortment of plush animals to choose from. Your child gets to hand stuff the animal of their choice (following the instructions I send with the animal if you order directly from me) then make a wish on a rainbow star and dress and name their animal. They get a birth certificate and everything. Kids love this because they feel like they actually helped bring their animal to life, rather than watching a machine do it.
So that is my idea of a great unique gift for your girls,
something you can do together as a family.
I also have two girl dolls and one boy doll that can be stuffed as well as purses that you can stuff and a wide variety of animals to choose from.
I also do dress up parties and tea parties but my animal stuffing website is www.myhuggableparty.com.
You will also find information on my website about the testing we do on our products at a facility here in the US to test the level of lead.
