A Home for All

By Kelly Lee

Girls remember their first one: the glamorous exterior with rich colors, the graceful winding staircase, the upper stories with fabulous sleeping rooms fit for princesses, and the model kitchen that set every cook’s heart aflutter.

Dollhouses have evolved, and there are homes for every taste — from little girls to avid collectors to (yes!) boys. Rooms with a view include dollhouses from En Gry & Sif USA, Greenleaf, Teamson and brinca dada.

Experience Wildlife Adventures at Home with Education Outdoors Games

By Carolyn Kavarnos

Education Outdoors Inc. was created by Tim Paczesny in 2005 as a solution for the need to educate children and their families about the great outdoors. His motivating factor began when Tim’s daughter noticed an animal track on the ground and asked him what it could be. He told her that it was a raccoon paw print. “Dad, how did you learn all the things you know about nature?” With that question, Education Outdoors Inc. was created and its first educational board game was about to be developed. Tim was dedicated to making his educational vision become a reality. He composed 400 questions and 100 fun facts about animals and nature and completed the first game called “Camp — The Game That Grows With You.”
