Toy recommendation

Cameron got this really neat toy for his birthday this year, and I thought I would share in case you might be in need of a cool gift idea for a child.


Oh, and.....this isn't Cameron, by the way. Just another happy little boy whose cool Aunt got him this neat dinosaur playset, too.


You know. Just in case you thought you missed something.






This is a neat little mat that has four zippers, and you unzip to form a flat playmat, and then re-zip to form a neat and tidy storage box to keep your son's 57 dinosaurs all the set pieces inside!


A place for everything, and everything in it's place, I always say. Well....I always say it, but seldom does it ever work around here. I strive towards it anyway.


I digress.



There are tons of sizes, designs (from princess to train to dinosaurs to farms) and prices available. (Our set sells on the website for $25, but if you find an actual store that sells them, they are a bit cheaper.) And, should you need, the set folds up and stores in next to no space--as big as the size of the lid.



As for a parental review, let me just say that this toy is AWESOME! Cameron is slightly over-the-moon about dinosaurs right now, so that particular set was obviously a wonderful choice for him--but I am sure the quality of the pieces and mat in each set is the same. The material wipes clean of whatever junk may get spilled on it (not that my three compulsive spillers we've ever needed that) and the zippers seem very heavy duty. Well.....that is to say they've been yanked hard more than once and are still attached--so they've passed my test, anyway.


The play mat is really tough, too, and the box--which has strong fabric handles, two sections of velcro to keep the lid closed, and a plastic cover for a label (be still my heart) on the outside--has held up through multiple *ahem* crashes. I would highly recommend this toy for any child.

Here is the website where you can order all things Zip-Bin! Let me know what you think!
