Colorful Puzzles From the Ukraine

I'm diggin' these colorful wooden puzzles from the brand new Etsy shop, Art Gift Store. Handmade in the Ukraine, they're excellent for developing fine motor and logic skills in toddlers and preschoolers. $10-12 each. (I'm planning to purchase the two pictured for my classroom. Browse those, plus many more here!).

A Pint-Sized Gift Guide

Buying gifts for the children in your life is the absolute best. I tend to steer away from plastic and commercial and gravitate towards classic and handmade. An extra dash of whimsy is always a plus, too! I would happily purchase any of these items for my classroom or my future kid's playroom.

Summer Circle Puzzle

This is one of the most beautiful puzzles I have ever seen. And that's saying something when your nose is frequently buried in toy catalogs. Available from The Wooden Wagon for $27.
