Clickety Clack...don't look back.

One of our favorite toys at Hooray! is the push toy. Toddlers just mastering walking LOVE push toys. And, if the toy can make noise or do something...even better. Something else to consider with a push-toy is the fact that they can see it as they push the toy...versus pulling and constantly looking behind them to see the toy. A push toy (vs. pull toy) can help avoid some unnecessary boo-boos for toddlers of this age.
Try our penguin push toy under your Christmas tree this year. Made of solid wood with a large orange ball at the end for easy grasping. Push this little bird around and the wings flap-flap! Mom & Dad...no loud banging or clanking...just a clickety-clack.

Let their be controlled chaos this Christmas!

Crafty kids...

Need a great gift for a 4 to 6 year old? At this age, they are interested in doing things with their hands. And they want to be able to accomplish something by themselves.

This FELT FRIENDS craft kit is the perfect solution! The kit comes with precut figures...in this case a dog & kitty. Perforations are already there so your child can easily start their sewing with a child safe plastic needle. (Great hand and eye coordination practice!) Add some stuffing towards the end and then peel and stick on your decorations. And, what we really like about this kit at Hooray! is the fact that there is minimal "parental" involvement. Meaning you won't end up doing the craft for your child! How many times has that happened!? Ooodles we estimate!

Whaallaahh! Happy kid with new stuffed felt friend and plenty of pretend play will occur after they have been made! Check-out our two kits that are available @ www.shophooray.com

Maybe Santa should kick-off those boots!

As a busy mom myself, trying to fit just one more thing into an already crammed schedule is even more impossible during the holidays! So this year I am trying to cut back the running around town syndrome, and spend more quality time at home with the kids.

And, I am looking for quality time. Minimal mom distractions...no cleaning, no phone, & no computer. Only pure silly and giggly pajama time! Pancakes for dinner and cupcake baking afterwards. Maybe a Christmas movie to get into the spirit of things... We hope your family can slow down, too!

Everyone at Hooray! would like to wish all our customers a happy & healthy holiday season! We sincerely appreciate all our loyal customers for shopping with us...our family business. And Santa, if those boots are rough on the feet, maybe a pedicure is in order!

Hooray! For simplicity!
