Classic Toys For Tots

Why Toys for toddlers ?

If you would have told me a few years ago that I would be so passionate about toys for toddlers I would have probably raised an eyebrow in return.  It is amazing to discover how with the arrival of your firstborn, you naturally and instantly dive back into your own childhood and old passions find their way back to surface…

I was always a tom-boy kind of gal, not really into dolls and wearing my mom’s makeup and heels (and she is still complaining to this day about the disappointment of finally having a girl after two boys who didn’t want to be a girl…) My favorite toys included: cars, marbles, Lego, animal toys and of course, anything I could climb.  So now that I have a very active first boy who is very (very…) passionate about anything with wheels I have rediscovered my enthusiasm for Toddlers toys;  and since I often (a little bit too often if you ask my husband) find myself going on (and off) line to look for new and exiting toys for my son, I made up my mind to start a blog in which I will share our experiences with toys, helpful information and some cool ideas for toys all appropriate for the magical toddler years… I believe Toddler-hood is an amazing time!! This little explorers’ active interest in the world, and their many expressions of their endless excitement with it’s new discoveries can be very contagious…

I must confess,though, that I am a nostalgic kind of person and I tend to go with toys that bring me back to the time I grew up in, when everything was much simpler. You will probably not find here computer games, DVD’s, electronic toys and the like unless it has some meaningful value.  I strongly believe in toys that one can touch and interact with and less with toys that put the child in a passive position…There is a whole world out there to explore – live and in 3D – why stick to the box?

So for those of you who would like to join me on this journey in the world of Classic toys for tots I hope to be able to bring valuable info or at least some enjoyable posts from time to time…

Until the next post…
