The Melissa and Doug Play Money Set, A Top-Rated Educational Toy

A wonderful discovery I made recently is the Melissa and Doug Play Money Set. It is perfect for your little ones to learn all about counting money.

It will not be just a learning toy though as your child will use this money over and over again as he sets up shop in your house. He can create a grocery store, a restaurant, a gas station or even a concession stand like we had at our children's movie themed party. The sky is the limit; who knows what your children will dream up!

They will use this 'loot' for lots of fun and they will not even know they are learning. They will be adding, subtracting and shopping before you know it. This Melissa & Doug money play set is recommended for children three years old and up. It arrives as a packaged kit and contains dollar bills from ones to hundreds and coins all neatly stored in a wooden cash drawer with lid. It is much, much better than the cardboard coins that children often have to play with.

A seven-year old Amazon customer reviewer said, "he loves it, he wouldn't change a thing about it and it is perfect."  What more could you ask?

Coonskin Cap just like Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone

Daniel Boone Coontail Cap

If you are of the Baby Boomer generation you will remember coonskin caps. All the boys wanted a coonskin cap just like Davy Crockett. This was made popular by the Disney TV show starring Buddy Ebson and Fess Parker who later went on to also play Daniel Boone.
My husband at the age of 9 went up on stage at Egelston Square Theater in Boston and sang the Davy Crockett song ("Born on a mountain top in Tennessee...") and was thrilled to win a coonskin cap.
This is a great gift for a little boy's Easter basket!

Morph-O-Scopes for Creative Fun

Elementary children love to experiment and this project is perfect for them. The child creates a drawing as instructed. Upon completion, it looks like a colorful design, but there is no real picture. Then the magic begins. The child moves the silver cup across the drawing and a real picture appears on the silver cup!

Morph-O-Scopes come in different styles - my favorite is the pirate! This is a creative and unusual gift for any child on your list!
