I love listening to my husband sing to our son, especially when he forgets the words and starts making things up! I’m sure there are times in all of our lives when we wished we could remember the words to more lullabies to sing to our little ones. Musical or not, we still want to sing and make them smile! Lullaby Baby, a book with 50 classic songs, features an on-board sound module that lets you learn the words and melodies to each song―all with fabulous illustrations!
It makes a perfect gift ―for yourself, for a friend, relative, etc. Let everyone sing along to the melodies of the song! This works perfect for traveling too… putting the little ones to rest when they are in an unfamiliar place. Oh, the joys of being able to sing to your child… even if you have a crappy voice!

My son isn’t at the age yet where he needs to get coloring books and crayons in a restaurant, but he is at the age that he needs to be entertained. As I was out and about online shopping for things to occupy him, I came across the “Designer Diner” from bellatunno.com. Although he’s still too young for it, I loved the concept so much; I bookmarked it for 6 months from now! 
The “Designer Diner” is an easy-to-wipe place mat on one side and a re-usable chalkboard with a box of chalk and a pocket for storage on the other. It beats the restaurant paper place mats and lets your budding Picasso work on their masterpiece. The best part―it’s Phthalate free.

OK, old Melrose Place fans… you have to remember Josie Bissett (aka Jane). Well, Ms. Bissett has taken a detour from acting to write a children’s book that is soon to be a favorite among moms everywhere! The Tickle Monster takes fun and silliness to a while new level. A loveable monster with big puffy mitts has just flown in from Planet Tickle. His mission is to bring joy and laughter to Planet Earth. How? By tickling any child who happens to follow along in this book.
“The best sound in the world is the glorious sound of your children laughing,” says Bissett. “Children love playfulness. They love silliness and they LOVE being tickled.”
Read aloud and do the tickling while the kiddies squirm and giggle with delight. You can
buy just the book if you wish, but I highly advise buying the mittens as well. The mittens are a MUST! Both are sold separately, but some places sell it as a set. The magical blue Tickle Monster mitts, have holes in the fingertips to make it easy for you to instantly transform yourself into “Tickle Monster” and turn pages while tickling.
If you are looking for a fun, unique gift idea, this is it. Perfect for parents, grandparents and kids for any occasion. But just a word of caution… not a great book right before bed because they get so hyped up from it.
The Tickle Monster is a winner of the Mom’s Choice Award, Parent’s Choice Award and the Parent Tested Parent Approved Award.
