Pick #1: Barefoot Books 'Knick Knack Paddy Whack' book and CD - $16.99
Barefoot Books is a children's book publishing company based in MA. It was started by two mothers who were seeking books that encouraged imagination and creativity, while also
instilling respect for other cultures and the planet. We own several Barefoot Book titles and they are all brilliantly illustrated and fun. This particular 'pick' is a book and a singalong CD and a familiar voice, Steve Songs (from PBS Kids) sings on the CD. Click the pic to purchase from a local mama and barefoot books consultant!

Pick #2 Wooden snail $15.95
I love this brightly colored wooden snail from Etsy seller Countryside Gifts out of New Jersey. I've ordered items from this seller in the past and they are extremely well-made and very unique. I also love that this puzzle looks great on a dresser when not being played with. It's painted with non-toxic lead free dye of course.

Pick #3: Latin Percussion yellow maracas - $19.99
This may seem like a lot of money for maracas, but let me explain. As a musician and someone who supports the arts, I think kids deserve to have quality instruments that feel and sound like what they would hear on a CD or radio. My suggestion is to buy instruments from music stores, NOT from toy stores. They will last longer, sound better, and not only mimic the 'real thing', they are the real thing! Great for all ages.
