These attractive wooden blocks from Wonderworld promise to offer all kinds of educational fun for babies and young children. Made from wood and plastic, these blocks are designed to make different sounds when shaken. They are great for babies learning to explore the world, and for older children learning to stack, count, and make music. You can purchase the set on sale for $34 (down from $45) at allmodernbaby.com.

I have wonderful memories of playing with a farm set when I was little.  I think all little kids gravitate toward such sets because they offer so many different ways to play.  This set from Wonderworld is really top-notch.  Designed for children ages three and up, this set is made from replenishable rubber-wood, so it is eco-friendly as it is kid-friendly.  It comes with a fun barn featuring a loft and a dumbwaiter (sure to be a favorite), a tractor, and a friendly farmer.  The set is truly attractive and will no doubt spark your child’s imagination to fuel hours of creative play.  It would make a wonderful holiday or birthday gift. You can purchase one for $80 at PoshBabyLlc.com.  A set of matching farm animals is sold separately.

Here’s a a unique riding toy that would make a great gift for your toddler this holiday season.  Made by Wonderworld, this four wheeled toy is sure to be a conversation piece.  What I find to be most original about this toy is that unlike most riding toys which are made from either wood or plastic, this toy is topped with a comfortable plush seat in the shape of a friendly dragon.  I’ve seen this style for rocking toys, but never for a ride-on.

The cute little dragon is sure to excite little ones, and it can even be removed from the base and enjoyed separately as a stuffed animal.  It makes crinkly and beeping sounds for extra fun.  This would make a great indoor riding toy.  It is suitable for infants and toddlers 18 months and older.  You can purchase one on sale for $100 at www.allmodern.com.
