This year has been a fun blur. I\u2019ve been fortunate to see a lot \u2013 including a huge amount of toys and games. I\u2019ve had a chance to see toys at work \u2013 at shows and fairs as well as in homes. Suffice it to say, I\u2019m all toyed out at the moment! This year for my holiday guide, I\u2019m including my favorites: 10 infant\/toddler toys (Monday); 5 gaming picks (Tuesday); Update: 5 \u201cmommy\u201d picks (Thursday) and 10 preschooler\/early school year toys (Tuesday -11\/24).<\/strong> Enjoy!
\n<\/strong>
\nMeanwhile, there are a lot of different gift guides out there. Here are some of the ones that I like:<\/p>\n

-Amazon.com\u2019s Holiday Toy List<\/p>\n

-Disney FamilyFun Magazine\u2019s 2009 Toy of the Year Awards <\/p>\n

\u2013Dr. Toy\u2019s Best Picks \u2013 2009<\/a> (Dr. Toy also has a Best Green Products<\/a> list.)<\/p>\n

-Funfare\u2019s Hot Dozen 2009 <\/p>\n

-Time to Play Mag\u2019s Most Wanted Toys <\/p>\n

-The Toy Insiders\u2019 The 20 Hottest Toys for 2009 <\/p>\n

And<\/p>\n

\u2013 TOYS\u201dR\u201dUS 2009 Holiday Hot Toy List <\/a><\/p>\n

(Cool Mom Picks<\/a> also has a consistently good holiday guide with non-mainstream products \u2013 primarily indie\/emerging designers and mom\/women-run companies. It\u2019s not up yet, but be sure to keep checking back there for that one!)<\/p>\n

11\/26 Update:<\/strong> 5 Minutes for Mom also has a great link-up of various gift guides from around the blogosphere. You can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
