Why is baltic amber all the rage for helping babies with teething issues?

Teething is a period of time that can be so hard on both parents and babies. Discomfort, pain, lack of sleep, fussiness and frustration are some of the symptoms exhibited when those new teeth are poking through those tender gums. This is largely due to pain and inflammation.

Baltic amber, which is fossilized evergreen sap, contains succinic acid. This naturally occurring acid is a natural remedy for pain and inflammation.

This is not a necklace to chew on. The idea is that the amber, once warmed by babys body heat, will absorb the succinic acid through the skin and that the acid, will provide relief of pain and inflammation.

This personalized honey colored teething necklace comes in a choice of lengths. Be sure to measure to ensure a proper fit for your baby. There is a choice of accent stones and the necklace comes in a very nice little tote bag.


Engraved baby spoons are a gift that has been popular for centuries. They are a keepsake that can be kept as a memento for following generations. The spoons can be personalized with names, dates of birth or other vital statistics.

This example of a personalized baby spoon is a modern take on this time honored tradition. The gentle on the mouth spoon portion is coated with a coating that is BPA and Phthalate free.

Personalized tree ornaments are a gift that can be used as a proud display all year round. This is an item that will be treasured and will be reused.

The nice option with this cute little brown bear ornament is that you can personalize it with or without a year. He is made of non-toxic polymer clay that is hand sculpted and then baked. So no two are exactly the same.

I love his little brown eyes and his brown polymer “fur” is contrasted with his little tan colored paws, ears and snout. The bear rests on a round circle of wood.

He is just too cute! There is a choice of other equally as adorable little critters to choose from. They measure approx 2.5 inches by 2 inches.

A great thought would be to purchase a unique ornament for each member of the family. This talented vendor even has family group personalized ornaments. Click on the picture to go to the vendor site.

If you are thinking of fun and funny games for smaller kids, look no farther than the Funny Bunny Game by the famous puzzle making company Ravensbuger. It is rated for ages 5 and above, but children as young as 3-5 can easily grasp the rules and play too.

Each child starts out with 4 bunnies of the same color. The object is to hop up the 3D game board, paving stone by paving stone to to make it to the carrot at the top of the hill.

On their turn, each little one draws a card from the pile. There are two types of cards, bunny cards and carrot cards.

If the player gets a bunny card, they move as many spaces as indicated on the card to progress up the path.

BUT, if they draw a carrot card, they have to spin the carrot. This makes holes open up on the path. If your rabbit falls through the hole, you have to start over at the beginning.

Pie Face is one of those games that is not educational. It is just hilarious. If you have a child that doesn't like messes, they may not want to play, but they will for sure want to watch. All others children will be enamored.

The object of this is simple. You set up the arm and hand with either whipped cream (not included) or a wet sponge (sponge included).

Spin the card, put your face through the mask and click however many clicks the spinner indicates. You may, or may not trigger the plastic hand to cream your face. Score a point each time you don't trigger the arm.

It is recommended for kids aged 7 and over and is meant for 2-5 players. The object is to not draw an exploding kitten. If you do, you are out of the game. Gonzo, done, finished, game over for you. Good thing there are action cards to hopefully delay your demise

When my grandkids talk about fun funny games, Fibber always comes up. It is a funny, silly game that allows you to "fib", but look out if you get caught!! It is rated for kids 7 and over, but they played it when they were 5 too. It can be played by 3-4 players.

How To Play Fibber

  • Each player gets a pair of glasses with a nose.
  • All cards are dealt out to the players.
  • The game board has various characters on them. You start with the Sasquatch and use the silver nose as a marker.
  • You lay cards face down and say however many Sasquatch cards you are laying. You can choose to be truthful, or fib.
  • Anyone else playing can call fibber.
  • If you are fibbing, you get a nose piece and have to pick up all the cards in the center.
  • If you are not fibbing, the one who calls fibber gets to pick up the cards in the discard pile.
  • If no one calles "fibber", the play goes clockwise to the next square and the next player.

The player with the shortest nose wins the game when all the nose pieces are gone. Kids just love making their nose grow like Pinnochio when they get caught fibbing.


Are you looking for kids funny games for your 3 year old? Educational Insights has developed a board game that is funny and helps your three year old learn.  The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game is so funny!

Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel comes with the board (which is the inside of the box lid), a spinner, a squirrel squeezer, 20 colored acorns and 4 logs to put your acorns in.

The object is to get your acorns in your log. This is accomplished by spinning the spinner and following the instructions.

They then take the squeezer tweezers and pick up the acorn that the spinner tells them to, and then they add it to their log. But then things get tricky!

There are steal an acorn, or lose an acorn possibilities too to add excitement and variety to the game.

This game has won many awards, including Good Housekeeping Toys Award.

There will be lots of giggles as your little squirrel learns how to pick up the acorns with the squirrel shaped squeezers.

This cute little game for kids teaches them about colors, taking turns, and operation of the child size tweezers teaches fine motor skills.


Another extremely funny game is "You Gotta Be Kidding". It is a kids board game based on the popular "Would You Rather" games. This game is rated for ages 7 and up.

Included in this game there is: a game board, 4 tokens, a toy chili pepper, 400 "would you rather" questions, 15 challenge cards, a timer, a dice. pen and paper, and marker tokens.

As you shake the dice and move your man up towards the finish line, you will land on play squares that will give you one of two plays. Either you will get a "would you rather" square or a "Challenge" square.

The Would You Rather cards give you a choice of 2 things. You pick the one that you would rather do and a reason why. Try to figure out your friends choice. Warning! The reasons can cause giggle fits.

The Challenge cards give you things to do in order to move up the board. These include drawing, finding things and doing zany things. This part will cause gut busting laughter. Of course, these tasks are timed.

If you get the red chili pepper card, you play "hot potato" with the chili pepper until the chili screams at you.

This funny childrens game takes about 30 minutes to play. This board game will teach your kids improvisation skills and develop their imagination. They have to make choices, which helps them to develop decision making. So to use a spin off on a game card, would you rather listen to your youngster giggle or eat a can of cat food?


One of the original funny, funny games for kids is Operation. The game is recommended for ages 6 and up, but younger kids love to try it too, and they get a real kick out of it.

Batteries (2 AAs)are included in this classic game of Operation. Also enclosed in the box are instructions, doctor cards with points assigned, tweezers, the patient (Cavity Sam), and 12 removable "parts", or ailments.

Players choose a doctor card and try to use the tweezers to remove the depicted part off the patient without causing the patient to buzz, vibrate and his nose to light up.

The parts all have tongue in cheek names, such as wish bone, and Adams apple.

Who will be the steadiest doctor? This game can be played alone or with others.

I am a grandma, and I can remember playing this game as a kid. This game is guaranteed to tickle your little ones funny bone. 

The game of Operation now comes in many different themes. Click here for more Operation themes to choose from. There is a choice for every child.


Another one of the cool funny games that comes to my mind is Twister. Its another oldie but goodie game that will have the whole family guffawing. The Twister Ultimate Game is created for children aged 6 and over, but the whole family will want to get in on the action, regardless of age.

The object is to be the last player "standing" on the 5.3 foot by 7.75 foot mat. This is one convoluted game!

The designated "spinner" spins the included spinner. Then all other players just follow instructions on what colored spot to place your feet or hands. And yes, it does tell you whether to use right or left appendages.

There are also other instructions, such as "raise your right hand". There is also a spinners choice challenge. But don't fall, or you are out!

It is hilarious to see the contortions that end up happening.

It is advised to play this game in bare feet, as socks may be too slippery.

This is a great stretching game. Flexibility is optional, but it sure helps. This interactive game from Hasbro is larger than the original twister game and has twice the amount of colored landing spots. The best game ever to laugh and excersise at the same time!


Here is a game that will make your kids giggle even before they play it. Poopy Head is a fast paced card game for kids aged 6 and up. 2 or more players can get in on the action. What kid doesn't like funny games about bodily functions like #2.

There is a deck of cards, 5 poop swirl headbands and a whoopie cushion.

All the cards are dealt out between the players. There are different colors and 3 images, a toilet, a poop, a toilet paper, and wash your hands cards.

To play the game, the cards must be laid down in the correct order, toilet, then poop, then toilet paper and then wash your hands. But wait! You cant use the same color twice in a row.

There is no "turns" in this game. Lay the cards as fast as you can, while shouting out what it is.

When one person doesnt have the "next" card, he or she slaps the whoopie cushion and the round is over.

The game ends when all the poops are distributed, and whoever has the most poo on their head loses.

This game will provide lots of fast paced action and laughs. Kids love it and there will be shrieks of delight as the figure out who is the poopyhead of the game.


Another super funny game for kids that makes fun of one of our least appealing functions is "Who Tooted". Lets face it, farts can be funny, especially to kids. This game is silly and will have them laughing so hard their faces will hurt.

The game consists of a game board, 4 family member game tokens who are portraying hilarious expressions of disgust, a large "dad" which contains the master brain of the game. It takes 2AAA batteries which are not included.

There are also buzzers with mini whoopie cushions attached. Each colorful cushion has a light.

There are also 4 noses to sniff out the noisy culprit.

The game is played by pressing the button on the game controller "dad". One of the whoopie cushions lights up and that player pushes his cushion. The other players try to guess who pushed the button by pointing the  nose at the suspect. The perpetrator points a nose too!

The ones who are correct move forward on the game board.

Kids of all ages get so many chuckles from this game. It is sure to become one of their favorites. Its a great party game too.


Also on the list for childrens funny games is Racoon Rumpus. Its a cute and chuckle earning game for young ones aged 3 and up. Watch the eyes light up when you bring this game out to play. It can be enjoyed by 2-4 players.

This adorable game can help your toddler or pre-schooler learn colors, matching skills, memory development, motor skills and of course, interaction skills while playing. They learn to take turns and have fun at the same time.

The object of the game is to be the first to dress your raccoon card in 5 different outfits.

The game comes with 4 raccoon cards with raised faces, 40 cute and zany colorful costume cards and 2 dice. One is a costume dice and the other is a color dice.

The first player rolls the dice and picks up the matching colored costume and dresses his or her raccoon in it.

Beware of rolling the underwear dice! Then your raccoon loses ALL his clothes. The embarrassment of it all :). Kids think this is hilarious!

But if you roll a rainbow card, you can pick any costume for your raccoons wardrobe.

You can also play a memory match game by turning over all the costume cards and mixing them, then matching them. This game will captivate your whole family.

This gift for an 8 year old boy would be appropriate for someone who has the urge to use wood as a medium for building and creating. Working with wood is a centuries old, honored trade and hobby.

Pre-teen age groups are at the prime age to learn and develop a love for wood. Framing, carpentry, furniture building or many other artistic outlets for this passion all start with a beginner project like a birdhouse.

This birdhouse kit comes with all the pieces to create a cozy little bird home that measures 6.14 x 7.5 x 6.5 inches.

All wood pieces are included, along with instructions. Your little woodworker will learn to sand, fit and nail the house together.

The black and bright orange rubber grip handles are high visibility.

Its a great basic kit and the silver, plastic carrying case is tough and durable.

This is NOT a toy tool kit. This set can be used to teach proper tool safety, cleaning and storage.


Do video games seem to occupy too much of your 8 year old thoughts? Why not work with the passion and get him a kit to build his own video games?

Bloxels are a kit developed for 8-13 year olds to learn basic coding and programming.

The set gives him physical and digital tools to develop his own video games.

The child figures out what it wants the game to look like, and creates challenges and obstacles.

Once the game is completed, he can share it and play with others online.

They will need to download the app to their smart device.

Then kids can use the board and blocks, using the enclosed instructions and tutorials to get underway.

Create your own game room, characters and story line. What a great concept, and this is a very highly rated STEM "toy".

Computer programming is the way of the future and those who can build computer programs and maintain them are assured of a bright future. This is a wonderful starting step.

Best Kids Cooking books

Why Cooking is so good for kids:

  • When girls or boys cook, it encourages them to eat foods they may not normally eat.
  • Children learn about other cultures and their foods.
  • Learning about measurements develop math skills and emphasizes understanding weight and volume.
  • Reading recipes and lining up ingredients help to foster good organizational behaviors and attention to detail.
  • Cooking and making recipes is wonderful for helping your child follow directions. 
  • Health and nutrition are focal points of many kids cook books.
  • Your tween can assist in making a grocery list relating to a recipe and learn good shopping habits such as shopping for deals and making budgets.
  • Kitchen safety becomes second nature. Proper usage of knives and cutting boards, hand washing and oven and stove safety are important skills.
