Blow Fish Toy: Genius!

Joel Henriques is one of the most creative artists I've ever seen. I'm so glad he dedicates his time to develop clever toys! Check out this one! A Blow Fish Toy: easy to make, loads of fun for kiddos. All you do is make the fish (using the template and the directions on the sketch below), thread the string through the straw that's inside the fish, then tape the string ends to your wall. Once it's on the string, you blow the fanned out tail and make the fish zoom down the line. Genius! And your kiddos can color the fish(s).

Book Buggee

While browsing through P'Kolino products, we came across this adorable Book Storage Toy. It comes with four "V" shaped book holders that are wider at the top for easy loading and unloading, and narrow at the bottom to hold the book in place.

Book Buggee helps create a bond with books and the concept organization!

Creative Toys

No doubt P'Kolino Puzzle Tacker is an award winning toy! Children are initially challenged to fine-tune motor skills by placing the easy to hold rings on extra thick stacking pole. With that mastered the child begins to enhance spatial logic by interlocking puzzle pieces, in any order. Finally, through "solving" the puzzle sequence the child learns color and size recognition.

Each puzzle pieces is cut from a single piece of wood, reducing the possibility of breakage. Great for ages 1-3.
