Magnetic Trucks

Made by Valtech, these magnetic working trucks vehicles give kids endless opportunities to create their own vehicles. My son has a set of these and he can play with them for hours. They are easy to put together, so it's something that he can do by himself without adult assistance. Each time, he creates different vehicles including bulldozers, firetrucks, and cement mixers.
I love toys that allow children to be creative and he is so proud of each creation. The toys gets outstanding reviews from parents. You can't go wrong with this set! Price: $30

ELF ON THE SHELF

Have you met this little elf yet? Isn't he the cutest thing? Well, if you are looking to start a fun tradition for the holidays, this book is adorable. Ever wonder how Santa knows who is naughty or nice? He sends a scout elf to every home. The elf watches the children and their behavior and reports it back to Santa each night. By morning the elf returns to its assigned home and hides in a different location, allowing the children to play a delightful hide-and-seek game. The book warns that if the elf is touched he will lose he magic powers, which hopefully deters little fingers from man-handling him. How can you resist a tiny red guy that's willing to take a little heat off of you and be Santa's tattle tale? Certainly that's worth $28.
