Hopscotch
Playmat
Everybody knows kids get into manias, where they have to play
the same game over and over, be it jacks, marbles, or... hopscotch.
The only problem with hopscotch is that it's subject to the
whims of the weather gods. But with this indoor/outdoor hopscotch
mat, kids can hop from 1 to 10 any time they please. At 83 by
25 inches, the thing is as generously sized as one you'd draw
on the sidewalk, and with its red, blue, orange, and green squares
of washable polyester, it's twice as colorful. The set even
includes a couple of stuffed markers, for equal opportunity
hopping: one's a boy and one's a girl. --Claire Dederer (Amazon

Learn
to Dress Cube
Learning to dress (with buttons, snaps, zippers, and ties)
can be a source of frustration for an eager preschooler. The
Learn to Dress Cube is a marvelous tool--and a fun toy--that
teaches children all-important dressing skills. Each side of
the cube has a different type of closure--there are snaps, clasps,
Velcro fastenings, buttons, laces, and a zipper. The cube's
colorful fabrics are sure to be stimulating as well, and the
snaps, buttons, and laces can be counted, sized, and categorized.
With its convenient handle, the cube can be easily carried to
a friend's house or to school. And Grandma will enjoy watching
a how-to-dress demonstration. --Sandy Hirsch (Amazon Editorial

Climb
and Slide Playmat
A chance for your kid to learn to claw her way to the top
by virtue of good deeds, rather than back-stabbing and maneuvering.
This giant (83 by 25 inches), rainbow-hued playmat is a variation
on the old favorite, Chutes and Ladders. Kids roll a giant plastic
die and move their characters through this oversized game. Good
deeds such as helping a friend or brushing teeth are rewarded
with a climb up the ladder, while bad deeds such as writing
on the wall send you shooting back down again. --Claire Dederer
