Like most Caillou products, this is sweet and informative. It teaches children about many different holiday traditions, which is nice. Its illustrated like the series and our son loves it. We are still reading it well into June. It follows along the same lines of the Holiday movie w/ Caillou, just abreviated a little. A sweet book.

Wall-E (Single-Disc Edition)Wall-E (Single-Disc Edition)
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $6.47
This was our first "Family Movie Night". It is a sweet story that will move you. Our 2 year-old sat through the whole movie, and was moved by the characters emotions and actions. We have a hard time finding movies that we think are toddler appropriate and won't scare the heck out of him or numb his mind. I highly recommend this
WordWorld: Lucky DuckWordWorld: Lucky Duck
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.37
All the Wordworld dvd's are GREAT! Our 2/3yr. old loves them The are fun & educational at the same time. the characters encounter little problems and solve them together as friends by building words. I truly believe it has enabled our now 3 year old to read very early and has also enhanced his vocabulary.
Caillou's Holiday MovieCaillou's Holiday Movie
Buy used from: $4.91
This movie is so sweet and refreshing. It's nice to have a movie for children where the children behave like children. I've watched every episode and the movie w/ my little one. I can't imagine a better show for young children. Yes, he makes mistakes, but that's the point. Your child learns that they make mistakes and what to do to make it better. I recommend this to everyone! Great price too!

Buy new: $366.46
This playhouse is so cute. Grandma/Grandpa bought this for our son when he turned 2. He loves the phone, & likes to "make" breakfast in the little kitchen. It's big enough that even my husband, who is tall,can sit inside also. He loves it so much it has found a home in the familyroom. He even decorates it for the holidays. I put it together in 1 hour. It would have gone quicker w/ 2 people.

We almost didn't buy this because of negative reviews. Our little one is 23 months and he loves it. He sits in the chair to watch Caillou and eat snacks& coloring. He has even put his blanket over it calling it his "tent".

They are a good transition from the bottle. We use them in the car to avoid more spills than I can count, and we really like that they don't have a "spout". We worry about the spout cups causing orthodonic problems. We only paid 4.45 at Target though.
