A craft activity that also doubles as a snack? That's music to a parent's ears. Instead of pouring out a bowl of dry cereal and calling it a snack, first let them play. More

After last year's Toy Fair I hinted that I was becoming a bit of a toy snob, but this year I think it's official. If you've never been, let me paint you a picture of the annual tradeshow: grown men shooting marshmallow guns, remote controlled cars whizzing at your feet, potential buyers perched on stools around new games as if at a Vegas blackjack table and groups of people jockeying to have pictures taken with fully-costumed toy mascots.

We've seen oversized rulers as growth charts on Apartment Therapy before. Seeing other oversized measuring devices being used for growth charts is also tickling our fancy. We think they are just the right amount of quirky mixed with a healthy dose of vintage to be both a functional and fun element in a kid's space. More
