http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/11/19/green-kids-holiday-gift-guidegreen-kids-holiday-gift-guide/ You may be thinking, “Oh no, not another gift guide”, but I have been inspired by Z Recs , The Not Quite Crunchy Parent , and Treehugger to create an Eco Child’s Play Green Kids Holiday Gift Guide . The following recommendations are highlights of our product reviews over the past year (click on the title of each recommendation to get to the full review post). All of these products have been played with by my family, thus these are not the gifts I am getting my children this winter, as these new toys have not been tested.

http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/11/26/alternative-en…en-fuel-rocketalternative-energy-hydrogen-fuel-rocket/ This holiday season, the Discovery Channel Store is offering toys that are fueled with hydrogen . Our family tested out the rocket ship, which is made by Estes Rockets . The Hydrogen Fuel Rocket is designed for children ages 10 and up (adult supervision required under 12), thus I had Eco Dad test it out.

Photo by UrbanTurn The holidays are coming and the world's largest toymaker (hint Mattel) has just been granted an exemption from third party testing its toys for lead. The CPSIA law was created because of Mattel, and they've managed to skirt it, while crafters and micro businesses making inherently lead free products pay dearly (or go out of business) to remain “legal.” There is hope

Glow necklaces, also known as glow sticks necklaces are not only 4th of July favors, but are also popular at a variety of other events and celebrations. They bring a lot of fun to parties and fireworks. They are essentially 22 inch long. When you bend this long and thin glow stick all the way to activate it and then connect two ends with a connector to make a loop, a glow necklace is created. Standard glow necklaces are 22 inch long due to normal human neck size, so they can be fit on everyone.

Until recently Vampires were the stuff of horror novels and movies. Stories of the undead go way back in mythology and folklore but according to Wikipedia, the “charismatic and sophisticated vampire of modern fiction was born in 1819 with the publication of The Vampyre by John Polidori…” “However, it is Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula that is remembered as the quintessential vampire novel and provided the basis of the modern vampire legend.” My Mom told me that when she was a teen she saw the original Dracula movie and was truly terrified. It was reported in newspapers that at the opening of this film, members of the audience actually fainted at seeing the horror

Name: Mego Like Toys Manufacturer: Mattel/EMCE/Doctor Mego & Diamond Select Toys Toy line: Worlds Greatest Super-Heroes Release Date: 2009 – 2010 Component Materials: Plastic and Cloth Materials Size: 8 inch scale Toy Description: Back in 2006 we started seeing some very impressive re-makes of old Mego character dolls sold back in the 70s. Star Trek and Planet of the Apes figures were popular and well received, but primarily by collectors and fans of the shows.

Each day you stood in line at the Graphitti Designs booth for lottery for a chance to purchase the color of the day.
