All kids need adequate space to color and practice their writing. My son currently uses a small plastic desk, which he is fast outgrowing. I’ve been searching for a nice table and chairs set, and I think I’ve just found the perfect one. This Pirate Ship Table & Chairs Set by Guidecraft has everything he needs, plus a pirate ship theme as a bonus! With the table measuring 28”L X 21”H X 28”W, it’s large enough for one or two children to use for any project they might think of. Some assembly is required. The set, which includes two chairs, sells for $168 at WellAppointedHouse.com.

What a terrific play area in which your children will spend hours every day. I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to camp out on the deck of this Pirate Ship Loft by Guidecraft for the night. If you’re fortunate enough to have a really big family room this Loft would fit right in.

There are multi-level decks, stairs, a slide and bright crisp graphics. This item conforms to ASTM and CSPC Indoor Play Equipment Guidelines, and is meant for indoor use only. It’s constructed of hardwood, has a deck height of 22.76″, and weighs 425 lbs. It sells for $1827.00 at circuitcity.com.

If you are thinking about purchasing a play kitchen for your toddler this holiday season, I would highly recommend the fine wooden products made by Guidecraft.  I bought these for my daughter after admiring them in her daycare center.  Unlike the toy kitchen appliances we had when my older daughter was younger, these are very well-crafted and are made to last.

Our cheerful green fridge is my favorite.  It makes a great place to store all of our wooden food, and my daughter loves to play with it.  It is crafted from hardwood, with rounded edges for safety.  It takes a little time to assemble, but the high imaginative play value makes it more than worth the work.

You can purchase a Guidecraft Refrigerator for $132.50 (with free shipping) at babyride.com.

We want our children to help us in the kitchen because it’s fun for them and full of wonderful learning opportunities. But our first concern is safety, and in a kitchen there are also many opportunities for accidents to occur. This Kitchen Helper Kids Stool by Guidecraft may look a little cumbersome compared to a simple step stool, but it offers a sturdy and balanced space for a child to occupy as they’re busy “helping” you in the kitchen.

Thisis a very attractive piece of furniture with fun cut-outs and a rich maple toned finish. Your little helper will be completely enclosed to avoid tripping or falling due to their hasty actions. Meanwhile, they are at counter-top level where they can see and participate. Also good for stepping up to the sink to wash dishes. Folds up completely for easy storage.

The Kitchen Helper features a childproof folding design, folds for easy storage, is lightweight, and made of sturdy wood with a maple finish. It measures 20 1/4″ x 36 3/4″ x 20 3/4″ and costs $149.95 at sensoryedge.com.

The Guidecraft Storytime Puppet Theater will not only provide your child with hours of fun putting on their own puppet shows, it will also help them develop their language skills.

With a little parental guidance, this Puppet Theater can be a tool for learning social skills such as sharing and expressing feelings.

The Puppet Theater comes with colorful curtains and tiebacks. Only minimal assembly is required. Lightweight at 28 lbs and easily stored, it’s recommended for children 3 years and up.
