Toddler Christmas Dresses

  

Do you need to know what constitutes a good toddler learning toy? Is it the lights and sounds that make it appealing or its ability to evolve with your child as he or she grows?

For a long time, I was choosing the wrong kind of toys for my kids. I bought whatever was a learning toy type of brand – like LeapFrog – without thinking about whether my child would actually play with it. And if they never invest any time in it, then it’s a waste of money.

Here are the top toddler learning toys for Christmas 2009:

1.) Arts and crafts for toddlers – When children get to get messy, it makes them absorb all sorts of information and branch out to create their own world. Melissa and Doug toys – specifically the Easel, are great artistic and educational toys for toddlers.

2.) Electronic toys for toddlers – LeapFrog and Fisher Price lead the industry in electronic toys for little kids. They do more than just include flashing lights and cute little sounds. They get your toddler to make decisions on what actions to take next and reward them for when they succeed. LeapFrog Scribble and Write is currently one of the bestsellers in this category.

3.) Interactive toys for toddlers – Interactive toys are those that give your child the chance to participate in the learning process. This year, one of the hottest toddler educational toys are the Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters. These toys are better than the real deal because there’s no mess to clean up, no real food to buy – your boy or girl will adore how the hamsters act and look real, moving from room to room to participate in activities and aking realistic noises. The learning part comes into play as your child cares for and nurtures his or her pet.

4.) Life skills learning toys for toddlers – Life skill toys are those that teach kids the basics they’ll need throughout life, such as how to tell time, knowing their shapes, counting numbers and discovering the alphabet and spelling. The bestselling toddler toy in this group is called My Tot Clock: Helping Small Children Sleep Better…So Parents Can Too!

5.) Action figures and dress up toys for toddlers – Don’t underestimate the little action figures your toddler boy may crave. They stimulate imaginative play, just as the costumes and dress up toys do for little girls. One of the best action figure playsets for boys this Christmas 2009 is the Fisher-Price Super Friends Batcave.And for dress-up, it’ll be International Playthings My First Purse in Purple.

One thing is important to remember when choosingtoddler learning toys – you’ll often find that gender doesn’t matter. Boys might want to play with girlie items and girls may love the toolset that a little toddler boy would be getting for Christmas.

Increase The Shelf Life Of Your Infant And Toddler’s Clothes With These Useful Tips

You must be on cloud nine after buying that expensive designer piece of clothing for your toddler. But how long will it last? Can you make this costly clothing last longer than the usual clothes?

Of course, you can! But it requires some tricks to prolong the shelf life of your toddler’s clothes. Essentially, you need to change your washing habits in order to achieve the objective. The following paragraphs will give you some insightful tips and ideas to increase the durability of your toddler’s clothes.

The best and the most simple way to get the most out of your toddler’s clothes is to follow washing instructions that are tagged along with the cloth. If the instructions say not to allow direct sunlight while drying, it simply means that the fabric and colors are delicate and should not be exposed to direct sunlight, which could damage the clothing.

Here are some other useful washing tips to help you wash your toddler’s clothes in a manner that doesn’t take away the precious lust and life of the cloth:

• Cotton clothes should never be bleached as bleaching breaks down the cotton fibers.
• The fabric softeners, like Ivory Snow, Dreft, etc., should be avoided as these products leave a coating on the cloth that adversely affects its absorbency power. Instead, white vinegar can be safely used.
• While washing diapers, avoid using detergents that have enzymes or whitening enzymes. For instance, Fabricare.
• Never use boiling hot water to wash your toddler’s clothes. Instead, warm water should be used in order to remove dirt, smell, and germs from the clothes, while at the same time, making sure that clothes do not remain wet for a long time.
• Dryer should be used in moderation. Excessive use may lead to tears, while lesser use may not serve the purpose of drying.
• Air drying will ensure fluffiness, wrinkle-free, and shrink-free wash.
• Cold water may also be used if the color of clothes is sensitive in order to prevent from fading.

Another point of note while we are discussing the ways to increase the shelf life of your toddler’s clothes is the question of hanging or

tucking the clothes in the closet. Ideally, shirts should be hanged while the rest could be easily folded and tucked neatly in the closet.

The storage of clothes (in a closet) is most often an ignored aspect in the homes. Firstly, make sure that clothes are properly dried before settling them at their designated positions, as wet clothes can often stink after some time affecting even the dry clothes. Secondly, make sure to use a deodorant that doubles up as bacteria repellant in order to prevent worm attack on the sensitive clothes.

In case the clothes are stained, make sure that the stain remover is not so hard that it affects the color of the fabric. One of the safest stain removers is lemon juice. Just squirt a little on the stain and set it out in the sun. It all takes just a couple of hours to remove the stain.

These few simple tips will keep your toddler’s clothes safe from early wear and tear and increase their shelf life.
