Stir It Up with Learning Resources
EARNING RESOURCES will introduce its Gears! Gears! Gears! Build & Bloom Building Set for
kids ages 4 and up. With this mix-and-match set, kids can create their own spinning flower garden from a variety of interchangeable parts. Create-a-Maze allows kids to build a maze out of curvy pieces by following the designs pictured on the activity cards. Once the maze is ready, kids will map a path through by tilting the board and guiding the ball around obstacles and into the goal. Learning Resources’ New Sprouts Stir Fry Set encourages kids to cook up a healthy meal of vegetables in their own wok. The set includes tongs to add in the vegetables, peapods, carrots, broccoli, peppers, celery, onions, a take-out container, a spoon, and a fortune cookie. New Sprouts Stir Fry Set

Haba’s New Introductions Are Just Purr-fect
ater Play Mat Little Frog, from HABA, is full of surColette Mini Rattle prises for kids ages 6 months and up. Press his belly to see him swoosh, or explore his body for touchable textures and surprise sounds. Little Frog includes a teething ring and loops with rustling foil. Purr-fect for capturing little one’s attention, the Colette Mini Rattle, from the Lilliputiens line, is a fun feline rattle that features a multi-colored kitty with patterned whiskers and tail, and makes a bell sound when shaken. Kids ages 4 and up can get back to the classics with the Spinning Top Swirling Strawberry. When kids wind the cord around the stem, place the strawberry cap, and pull the cord quickly, the strawberry gets spinning with no batteries required. From the bath to the beach, the Amphibious Vehicle is a go-anywhere vehicle that can handle it all. Spinning, webbed wheels take on any terrain and work in water, in dirt, or on sand. A top handle makes it easy to drive in any condition. Kids ages 3 and up can practice putting with Sand Golf. Simply set the holes, flag, and cup in the sand and start swinging. The player who sinks his or her ball in the cup with the fewest strokes wins the game.
