Barley is made by Gund or as the tags all say, Gotta Getta Gund, a plush animal line familiar to many people.
Barley is an impressive 17″ tall and made of the softest two tone shaggy fur in a light tan with highlights making it almost look like a light salmon color. He sports a cream colored muzzle and two of the nicest two tone brown eyes which give him a lovable look. His nose is made of a black suede and he has a lovely plaid ribbon bow around his neck.
Barley has a big soft tummy for hugging and big paws which are a little lighter in color. What makes him special is that he has beans in his bottom and at the end of his four paws which make Barley perfect for posing and sitting.
His fur is surface washable and he weighs in at a whopping 1-1/2 lbs. I can’t think of any little boy or girl that wouldn’t love this soft and huggable bear from Gund.
$26.99 from amazon.com

Got a toddler in your life? If you need a gift for a child about one year of age, this set of blocks is a perfect gift. The 200 piece set is like the smaller Legos brand but they are a lot bigger and easier for small hands to handle. Not only are they great for stacking play but are also good for teaching colors.
These are made of plastic and can be played with them in the sandbox, bathtub and playroom. The carrying case helps keep them concentrated in one place and can actually make cleaning them up, with your toddler’s help, fun.
available at amazon.com: $30.99

This inflatable fire house was one of the best purchases that I have made. The product is well made and sets up in a snap. It’s huge and lots of children can play in it at one time. I would highly recommend this toy!!!

My niece received the FlyTech FairyFly SlowFlake by WowWee and she loves it. Here is what is included in the package:
- The Fairy Flier
- The Remote Control
- The Stand (the FairyFly controller forms half of the stand)
- The Instruction Book
There are no batteries included. Each remote control needs 4 “AA” batteries. Also, there are no replacement wings included.
At first glance, I thought the Fairy was cute! Her foam body is flesh toned and she wears a light purple dress. She has a slight smile, pointed ears, large eyes, and a pixie haircut. The wings are decorated with swirls of white and blue, and have snowflake graphics on the background.
I thought the fairy flew quite well. You must remember, they are made to fly in a simple manner. They need to controlled well, which is why this toy is for children 6 and up. They are unable to recover their hover when they bump into a wall.
They use InfraRed control technology, which doesn’t work well in bright sunlight. They also are very light, and easily pushed around by the slightest breeze or draft. This toy is best used ina large room indoors.

Radio Flyer Wagons are classic and still loved by kids today!
The first wagon was the “No. 4 Liberty Coaster”, which was built from wood and steel in 1923 and enjoyed tremendous success.
Modern wagons are built in “Classic Steel or Wood”, although Plastic is also an option. While there have been dozens of different versions over the years, the “#18 Classic Red Wagon” for which the company is forever associated with has been in continuous production for over 70 years.
I highly recommend Radio flyer wagons for any boy or girl!
