Designer Miyamoto makes video games pulse with life (USATODAY.com)
USATODAY.com - NEW YORK - Shigeru Miyamoto, the father of iconic Nintendo mascot Mario, among many others, doesn't just bring characters to life in his video games. He injects his life into his creations. That's why his latest project, Wii Fit, which arrives in stores Wednesday, is not really a game at all. It's a $90 software-and-gadget fitness package for Nintendo's revolutionary Wii, reflecting Miyamoto's interest in his own physical health. Wii Fit, which comes with a balance board, has a built-in virtual trainer that helps players with yoga, aerobics and muscle toning.

Tearaway toddlers who can't sit still need a wider range of more challenging toys

As he approaches his first birthday, your little baby now crosses the line into the exciting world of toddlers.  They become increasingly independent and their hand-eye coordination has increased considerably rendering  more control over their environment and any objects therein.  Toddler's toys therefore, become more complex, items such as puzzles, wooden shapes to fit into boards and more building and stacking toys as well.  In short, anything that will keep toddler hands busy and toddler minds active!

Toddlers will be entranced and absorbed by toys that come apart and then need to be reassembled again.

Small jigsaw puzzles, of maybe 2-4 parts, wooden blocks that can be stacked and unstacked, and shape sorters are ideal toys for toddlers.  Be aware though that the more complex shapes might still prove to be quite a challenge for their ever inquisitive and fascinated minds.

You can browse online and sort by brand, by age even by type of toy - it all makes for an easy, simple, comfortable shopping experience.
