To begin with, each year there are always those odd little toys that nobody quite knows what they are, what they do or why they are so popular. This year it will probably be the aforeMentioned Zoobles or Squinkies that fit this description.

Both these toys are little creatures or figures that kids can play with. There are many different characters and various accessories to go with the characters. These accessories include homes, extra gear like cars or forms of transport.

In effect, Zoobles and Squinkies are the characters but the charm to children is that they have a little imaginary world. Kids love to shape this imaginary world and have the Zoobles or Squinkies characters interact with each other.

Other toys that are said to be hot this year include Lalaloopsy Dolls and even Princess and Me dolls.

Lalaloopsy dolls are a modern take on the raggedy doll that might have been hand made using bits and pieces left over from the sewing basket. The Lalaloopsy dolls are not made from old left over rags but they hint that they have. There are 8 different characters and each has certain traits and personalities that reflect the type of left over material that they are made from.

So the Starlight Dot doll is made from an old astronauts suit. And she is a stargazer and has an interest in science. Each doll also has a pet which also reflects her personality (you could almost say the pet is a bit like an avatar). For Starlight Dot it is a red bird.

Princess & Me dolls are based on the Disney Princesses that have proved to be really popular with girls. These dolls are extremely well crafted and of course each have distinct personalities. You can get Jasmine from Arabian Nights, Cinderella or Ariel the Mermaid to name a few.

There are plenty of other hot Christmas toys but these are a few to get you started. The dolls are more of a girls toy or even a collectible item for grown ups. The Zoobles and Squinkies are for younger children and both boys and girls will like to play with them.

Storing Toys

 


Whether your kids are young or already entering their teenage years, you know full well just how much "stuff" can accumulate outside in the yard. Using a storage shed as an outdoor toy box though, is a wonderful way to help keep your yard clean and clutter free, and it also teaches the children from young ages to pick up after themselves.

Using your outdoor storage shed as a toybox is not overly difficult either, but you will want to organize it a bit so you can make the most of the room you have, and so the kids will know where their outdoor toys properly go.

Now the first thing you'll want to do when organizing your toy shed, is to designate various zones inside. One zone for instance, should be reserved for Bicycles and riding toys. This area should have things "parked" in a logical manner, so it will be easier for the kids to get their toys out when they want them, but put them away when they're done too. Be sure not to pile things on or around the wheeled toys, otherwise someone could get hurt when trying to navigate the area.

Use large plastic bins, buckets or trash cans for storing and organizing smaller toys. You could separate these by child if you'd like, and put a name on each one so everyone has their own space. Alternatively, you could have one bin marked "pool" to use for pool toys, another marked "balls" to store all the various playing balls in, and so on.

Put pool safety equipMent in locations of their own though, and make them easily reachable. Arm floats and safety vests for smaller children for instance, can be hung on the wall right by the door, or put into an easily reachable container all their own.

Putting up shelves in your shed is another excellent way to help organize smaller items, or those toys reserved for adults or the larger children. Yard and lawn games and Supplies can go on these shelves for instance, such as golf tees and balls, ping pong equipMent, and badminton Supplies.

Nets, clubs and rackets can be organized easily by hanging them either on the wall, or from the ceiling in the corners.
