We just got the Rubik's cube back in stock. This picture is proof that some people have way too much time on their hands. Mike's Rubik's cube is slowly decomposing somewhere in the Utah desert after being hurled out the window of a moving car in frustration many many years ago! The "cube" has endured, however, and is still one of our best selling items.
Winning Moves is a small game company that specializes in bringing back old popular games that can withstand the test of time. We carry most of their offerings, including Milles Bournes, Pit, Canasta, and more. Last fall they came out with Scattergories the card game, which was a hit, and we just got in the first of their new offerings: Risk, the original 1959 edition. I didn't realize it has been around that long. It was the perfect answer to yesterday afternoon's wet gloomy weather.
It's spring in the valley. Bulbs are popping up and some are already blooming in our planters downtown. Baby chicks are in at the farm stores. So let's talk about baby toys. Most infant development toys grow with the child. Start with a colorful item that just dangles to get the baby's attention. Then, in a couple of months, the child will grab it and put it in his mouth. Later, he will throw it, crawl after it, and put it in his mouth. Many of our toys are designed to be used on several levels as the child matures. Safety is also a concern, so it is important to choose toys that are age appropriate. We are always on hand to make recommendations and our customers are really great about giving us testimonials about their child's favorite toy.
