Site of the Month!

by CarterAnn Mahdavi

Following my origami post, I went searching for more paper toys and came across Marilyn Scott Water’s site, The Toy Maker, and fell in love. The site is great for a number of reasons:

1) Her goal is “to help grownups and kids spend time together”. So she gets a star in my book.
2) All her designs are free to download.
3) Her designs work for a range of age groups.
4) The diversity of her designs is great. She has Time Out Cards, Father’s Day Badges, Otter Paper Dolls with extra clothes and more.

She also has a blog on Live Journal.

About Reviewing Toys

This blog is a resource of toy reviews, as well as my own personal experiences as a mother. Hopefully, you'll be able to find information that will help you sift through the unending onslaught of children's toys and select the ones that are actually worth having.
