My latest go-to gift for my little nieces is a Crayon Apron. I don't have to worry about a recall from China, and crayons are good old-fashioned creative fun. The apron came with a box of washable Crayolas, which I know their mom's appreciate!

Though we have so few licensed toys, I wasn't too concerned about the recall, I have begun to worry a bit about our magnet toys. We have a "magnet basket" filled with some Magnetix building sets and other various magnets I've picked up in dollar bins. <br/><br/>Though at 5, my DS is presumably old enough to know not to swallow the magnets, we still felt it was important to discuss the issue with him and keep them out of the playroom in reach of younger children who may come to visit.
