A Plastic Playhouse is Still the Best

February 22, 2012 at 5:36 am • Posted in ToysComments Off

When it comes to an outdoor toy, a plastic playhouse is an ideal choice. Do not settle for a cheap wooden playhouse because it would not last long. If you want a wooden playhouse, you have to get one which is made of high quality wood so that it would be durable. Sitting exposed to the sun and rain, those playhouses made from cheap wood would start to rot and crack in a matter of months.

That is why if you are on a tight budget, a plastic playhouse is still the best. You can get one for less than $100 at times from some retailers. Such a playhouse may be on the small side, but as long as your toddler can fit inside, it would still be as fun.

Moreover, you can set up a small plastic playhouse indoors rather than in the backyard. Some parents prefer it that way because then, their toddlers can play in it anytime they like.

A Strange, Melodious Voice is Heard

Kanye West performs at the 2011 Essence Fest on Saturday Photo: Erika ...As soon as he reached bottom he straightened then wandered deeper into the thick tangle of brambles and tree branches. Here, the forest smelled damp and rich with the odors of decaying leaves and plants. He was confident he would find what he was looking for and set to work turning over rotten pieces of wood and kicking at deadfall. He had been working for almost a quarter of an hour and had already put three big mushrooms into his sack when he heard the singing. At first he thought it was a bird, but the voice was too melodious, rising and falling in pitch — a tinkling sound like a jewled dice set. It sounded like a child’s voice and strangely enough, it seemed to come from far away and very near at the same time. Wil stood very still and quieted his breathing. He cocked his head and listened, but as hard as he tried, he was unable to tell where the voice was coming from. He couldn’t make out words, but the song had a haunting lilt to it and a sudden chill iced up his spine. Wil had heard the stories told around campfires and in the back rooms of the Boar and Otter about woodsmen and greedy children being enchanted by sprites and goblins. The stories all ended the same with the enchanted victims being cooked for some wicked creature’s feast. Wil tried not to pay attention to the stories – he guessed they were used to frighten children from misbehaving – but now, standing in the darkening wood, he wasn’t so sure. Right then, he made up his mind to go back. He would tell Grundy – no, Drift, about the singing. Drift would know what to do.

Everyone Wants the New Abbey Bominable Doll

Have you seen the excitement among fans for the new Abbey Bominable Doll? I can’t believe how many of my friends want to have her already.

The thing is it’s not that easy to find her righ now. Sure she’s readily available in England, but here in the US there just aren’t that many of this doll available.

I am excited too but not that excited that I would pay $40 for her. She costs only $18 people. Why spend so much money when you know you can get her for the right price when all these excitement dies down?

I really don’t understand it. Give it time. Be patient. You’ll have her soon in your collection.

But please to all the fans. Don’t give money to the pockets of these people who are making money out of our hobbies! It’s not ethical and I don’t know how they even sleep at night.

Wait a little longer and the dolls should be out in the hundreds soon.
