I’m a sucker for cute bath toys, and this set of sea friends is about as cute as it gets. The turtle, octopus, and dolphin finger puppets are ready for some creative bath time fun, and are sure to inspire some wonderful games. When you’re done, you can throw them in the washer, so you don’t run the mildew risk that comes with plastic and rubber bath toys. You can purchase the set for $10.29 at bambinomountain.com. I think it would make a fun gift.

I had some fun magnetic toys as a kid–of the draw a mustache or find your way out of a maze variety, but none of them could compare with this great Sea Life Magnetic Toy from Anatex. It looks fantastic, so I have no doubt that children will be drawn to it. Its take along design makes it perfect for keeping kids busy in the car or on the go. Two wands allow for two children to play–or for one child to cultivate his or her skills with two hands. You can purchase one of these for $59.87 at 1888toys.com.
