Get the Kids off the Couch **Outdoor Fun from International Playthings

What better way to enjoy the springtime than by getting the kids off the couch and outside for some active play? These days, little ones are spending way too much time in front of the computer, playing video games, and watching TV. In fact, The Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine recently found that children with more TV exposure tend to participate less in class and have lower math grades. They are also less likely to be physically active on weekends, and have body mass index scores that are about 5 percent higher than their peers. International Playthings loves to encourage productive play by offering a range of toys that get kids into the great outdoors!



New from International Playthings’ proprietary iPlay line of toys, are two hot items for spring, when the days are warmer and longer, allowing for plenty of outdoor fun.




Soccer Trainer

The soccer trainer set is fun to use while improving ball control and coordination while practicing kicks! The set includes an 8-inch ball that is attached to the base. The ball is easy to inflate using the included pump whose needle stores inside the handle. Before playing, simply weight the base with either sand or water. It is versatile and can be played alone or with a friend! Soccer Trainer, for ages 3+, retails for $19.99.



Big Fat Foam Bat

This bat is designed and weighted specially for young children! This big, fat, foam bat comes with a large foam ball. It’s great for beginning batters and improving hand-eye coordination. For ages 3+, the bat and ball retail for $9.99.

Who's Missing? Indoor Fun from International Playthings

International Playthings loves to encourage indoor play that is fun and educational for the whole family!



Great for rainy or cold days when outside play isn’t option, the “Who’s Missing” Calico Card Game brings Calico Critters popular line of favorite friends—like the Fisher Cats and Hopscotch Rabbits—to life in a new way!

For ages 3 and up, this classic card game involves memory, strategy, and of course, fun! The dealer deals out 5 cards in a row. Players hide their eyes while the dealer takes away a card. Who can remember which critters are missing? As the game is played, the row of cards grows, so the game becomes more challenging the longer you play. Cards are also fun collector items for Calico Critters fans!

Review - International Playthings Costume Critters by Calico

Just in Time for Halloween

Review- I've had the opportunity to review these adorable and cute little critters by Calico Critters at International Playthings Inc. Just in time for Halloween...wow!

They are miniature critters which come in a set of two. My set included two little bears: Benji with a lion costume and Polly in a frog costume (picture above). These little critters are about 4" tall. They are sure to become your child's next best friend due to the fact that any child can enjoy changing the little critters costume or even go behind their imagination by creating their own world of happy little friends. These critters also make a cute display in every child's room.These critters also come in a bunny and chick costume, like in the picture below.
These little toys are ideal for children ages 3 and up.
