Time for some Blogrolling

Pufferbellies lures the press to their weekly storytime and gets a write-up! YoYoJoes is playing with some very high-end toys. Peapods has some fun with local logs. And they're parking new trucks over at Early Work in Petaluma.
As for the Golden Apple, we're just taking it easy today, it's too hot to do much. I'm almost too lazy to report that we unpacked another batch of Sunny Patch from Melissa and Doug, including a Grub Scouts Sprinkler that would make any hot day worth living!

Go Outside and Play!

This week we are checking in a new line of outdoor toys from Melissa & Doug. The line is called Sunny Patch, and it is designed by David Kirk, of Miss Spider Fame. We carried his original line of toys many many years ago, and I still have them in my toy museum at home. These bright colored gems are wonderful and include some great stuff to get out and wear in that new vegetable garden the President wants you to plant. My one regret is, the fashion-forward rain gear arrived at the end of the rainy season. The rest of the line is great for Spring, and there is more to come - it's a perfect Easter gift!
I love this little bucket/Easter basket. We grabbed it immediately for our display, a little Easter grass, a bunny and some egg shakers...it was a perfect image of Spring!
