Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
With magnets, of course, in the Zolo Play Garden.
Your tots can build a fanciful garden using their imaginations and the 11 magnetic creatures and plant pieces included in this activity set. The window box is magnetic, as well, so all the pieces stick and stack in lots of different configurations.
And when playtime is done, the window box doubles as a zippered carrying case, so everything stows away neatly for next time.
Available at Glamma Toys for $73.95.

LS said...$74.00???? HOLY CRAP!!! What can a kid do with magnets? Play for ten minutes? Swallow them and end up in the hospital, thereby initiating a recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission? Here's a better idea:
Prices off of my wal-mart receipts from this past spring:
planter: $5.00
Kid's garden set (watering can, garden gloves, little shovel, little rake): $12.00
Small-ish bag of Miracle Grow: $5.00 (or use dirt from your backyard: free)
Packet of seeds: $.99 - $3.00 (depending upon the seed and organic status)
Monetary price: $13 - $25
lifetime hobby, learning about how things grow, getting a kid's hands into the dirt, parent/kid time, lots of giggles and dirt on the tip of your nose... PRICELESS.
You don't have to spend a lot of money to get a great value, people.
