Meet George
George was born in Austria and is a multi-faceted fellow. He can dig, scrape, make a mold, demonstrate how a funnel works with his hat, and give you the ins and outs of buckets. Most of all, George can show you who's the cutest sand and garden toy ever.
Bilibo
Bilibo is one of our favorite toys of the year. It might be a fun spinning seat, a bucket or a sand castle builder. We're not sure. Only you can decide. It's the only toy we know of that you can play with inside or out all year long.
Next Stop: Memphis
Pretend to make your own Summer heat with this wooden grill. Enjoy flipping the coals beneath the tasty feast, which is included. You can tote this grill to friend's houses, the park or grandma's. Now mom and dad aren't the only ones who know how to cook.
Entomology Made Easy
This ingeniously designed, safe plastic bottle is perfect for catching and viewing creepy crawlies, then letting them go unharmed. (This is a bug kit with a conscience!) The full-color book provides field notes to 46 bugs arranged by habitat, including pond, forest, ground, leaves, field and flower. Written by entomologist Hugh Danks, the Bug Book gives comprehensive information about these fascinating creatures -how they live, what they ear, unusual characteristics and more. It offers simple, clear guidelines on how to collect and care for bugs, and equally helpful hints on which bugs not to catch. New to the kit are a fold-out bug chart for quick identifications, a magnifier to see the critters up close. Best of all, a bug explorer's journal to record discoveries.
