New Robeez Shoes, New Music Classes, and New YOXO Toys

YOXO Dragonfly Toy
 
Brand New YOXO Toys, Made in Minnesota


Vote for Peapods for Green America's People and Planet Award


We couldn't be more excited...
About the new YOXO toys we just received! Made right here in St. Paul, the new YOXO dragonfly and dune buggy are wonderfully creative, environmentally friendly, open ended toys that invite kids to experiment and innovate. 


We're particularly impressed with YOXO's "Flye" dragonfly kit, which we think will especially appeal to girls--a rarity in construction toys. Plus, at over 3 feet long, the YOXO dragonfly is truly amazing!


The Fall Robeez Collection is Here!

Fall 2014 Robeez Collection
These soft-soled baby and toddler shoes by Robeez may be the cutest collection we've ever seen. We've always loved Robeez shoes because they're easy to put on and won't trip up little feet with a hard sole.

A State Fair Reminder
Of course, the state fair is right around the corner (You do have a good baby or toddler carrier, right?) Although we're pretty close to the fair, parking is seldom a problem in our neighborhood. However, it's best to approach us from the west via Highway 280 to Como Avenue. We recommend avoiding the Snelling/Como area during the fair. Beware--if the wind is blowing just right, you'll smell the mini donuts!
