    Best Toys for Toddlers

    Today I discovered an amazing group The Best Toys for Toddlers on Facebook!
     
    Are you interested in finding the best toys for toddlers in your life? 
     
    The leader Michelle Willow is a REMARKABLE lensmaster (contributor to SquidGypsyOwl Lens Sightings), Giant Squid, 100 Club, former Squid Angel, former Giant Squid Greeter, Lensmaster promoter, Fresh Squids Club, and Much MORE.  Most importantly, Michelle is a MOM.  She brings her JOY of parenting to us through observation of her toddler.  And, now she brings us the opportunity to become part of an amazing group of toy reviewers.
     
    The Best Toys for Toddlers Club is going to be THE primary resource for parents and teachers (and grandparents like me).  You can quote me on that!!
     
    I have a lot of experience working with children (my own as well as countless others through work/volunteer experience).  My focus has been on fun learning experiences.  I have worked with special needs children as well.  One thing is constant... and the club has figured this out early... Children are the best Toy Review specialists!!!  So, I am going to translate some of my two dozen years experience into creating toy reviews for the club.   My focus will be on educational and fun toys (not always something you purchase from the toy store). 
     
    Once I decided to contribute to the reviews: First I discovered... If you are interested in creating review articles, You will want to research the club's help guide
    to make sure your article is ship shape for the club.
     
    Please pass this on to anyone interested in education, children, gifts for children, promoting fabulous resources, or parents/grandparents of toddlers. They will Thank You for it.
     
    Have you created a Toy Review?  Please share the link to it here.  (these can be both the club and non-club resources as long as they are real life honest "REVIEWS" and not just advertisements).

    Purple Star Lenses on Squidoo Giant Squid Showcase

     
     
    "  Purple star lenses are scarce and special.
     
    1. If you earn one, you get a purple star badge right on the lens for everyone to see.
     
    2. Your lens gets a small one-time editorial turboboost in LensRank. The purple star turboboost is the equivalent of a few Angel blessings.
     
    3. Last but not least, and perhaps the best benefit of all: You get a fun excuse to keep creating and innovating. A reason to keep making and playing on more new lenses."
    This year The Giant Squid Showcase is showcasing Purple Star lenses in a unique way. :D
