Interested to hear what you think about this product. You put the hat on and when you move, you hear the music. When you stop, the music stops (there is a little delay). The glasses also come with the set…
I was wondering if my sons could wear this while they are also playing Rock Band…

I just came across a game for preschoolers called the Penguin Rescuer Game. I haven’t played it but here’s the game play…your goal is to save the penguins. The catalog copy reads: “The family of penguins lives happily until the temperature increases from effect of global warming, resulting from irresponsible activities of people in the cities. Icebergs begin to melt, leaving penguins with no place to stay out of water.”
This is a cooperative game meant to introduce kids to the concept of global warming. Thoughts?

Hard to believe that we are thinking about our holiday award list…but this is when we start looking at our tentative lists…looking at the feedback, checking our list..you get the idea. When we first started we had twenty toys on our top list–now it’s close to 50 with all the ties. It has more to do with us not wanting to fight it out anymore. We have both relaxed a bit…but only a bit. Today, as I was going through all the press materials to make sure that we weren’t missing anything–my mother was reviewing children’s books. Hearing her running commentary is always really entertaining—it’s peppered with “this is charming” to “you have to be kidding, you have to read this!”
We have so many water toys that need testing…but it hasn’t been warm enough here to ask anyone to get wet! This whole “let’s pretend we live in Seattle thing” is getting a little tired.
