Consider showing up with one of these.
There’s something terrifying about this little fella that will forever prevent me from following my own advice, but if you’re in the mood to try your hand at a Kangaroo rat (at least that’s what I’m told this thing is) then please let me know how it goes.
Oh, and take a photo of your kid when they first lay eyes on it

From Vimeo, even I’d take time to eat a proper breakfast if it was this fun. Forget TV, forget the computer, just give me a beat machine made of bread and fruit.
This is not one of those. While cute for a 2 minute YouTube clip I swear I’d lose my mind if I had to listen to this all day, every day.
Found at likecool.com, we have the BMW Baby Racer II… a child’s ‘toy’ that’s miles cooler than anything my wife or I currently drive. On the one hand its a nicely designed toy… but on the other it feels wrong considering a shiny BMW for a child who doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) care less.
Don’t let the splash screen turn you away.
It’s a well-done video, and very tasteful at that.
I was surprised to see Steve Martin on American Idol last night playing the banjo of all things. Thinking it was a rare occasion, or something I was seeing for the first time I went online and checked YouTube. Sure enough there are numerous videos of him playing the banjo going waaaay back in time.
This one in particular caught my attention. I’ve always loved the Muppet Show, and after a couple minutes I actually started to remember watching this episode as a kid. At the time I had no idea who Steve Martin is (or what a banjo was for that matter) but I definitely remember the episode.

Ok, here’s how it works. Your little one chooses a map from the set of available maps on the site. Once your child has selected her map, she enters a number of different attributes to customize the map to her experience. For example, ruler’s name, gender, title, birthday, as well as names of other friends or family to appear on the map. From there you create an account and make your purchase.
Is $39.95 too much for a produced, canvas version of the map she created? Probably not if the quality is good… but I leave that to you.
So I heard that the initial cut of Where the Wild Things Are was deemed too much for kids when the entire theater of children screening it left terrified. Likely a reasonable assessment.
Based on the video below I suspect that the current version may still be a bit much for some children. Spike Jonze. Where the Wild Things Are.
