Our son has been fascinated by a "See Inside the Human Body" model and book from Silver Dolphin Books.  It is a great introduction to human biology.

Bass Pro Shop at Crossings Drive in Rocklin, CA- so much free fun (if you don't buy anything, of course!)

Last weekend we visited the Bass Pro Shop off Highway 80 in Rocklin, California.  We see the shop all the time from the freeway but had never been inside.  It is like a Disneyland of outdoor sporting goods.  Amazing displays.  They are also generally pet-friendly.  There are plenty of free things to do in the store.  Of course, we had an agreement ahead of time that we were just doing research and we came away with a catalogue that my son has been studying for his holiday list!

Imaginets magnets include a carrying case

The Imaginets magnets even include a carrying case!  I love toys that you can keep everything together!
It includes a creative set of magnetic wooden shapes that come in a sturdy case that doubles as a design surface for the magnetic pieces.  This is a fun activity for children older than 3 years old.
