For many of us, now that the sun is out, we start crafting our plans for spring break, weekend excursions and summer travel. Keeping the kiddos entertained during escapes (or just a long wait at the pediatrician) can always be a challenge. Here are some of Kobold's favorite take-along toys:
Playmobil's Take-Along Sets are a Kobold favorite. The Pirate Treasure Chest Take-Along, awarded the "best toy of the year" award by Parents Magazine, will transport your child to the pirates' world. The chest offers three exciting playscapes to provide fun and exciting imaginative play experiences. With one side opened, the chest reveals the pirates cove - an inlet that needs to be protected from invading enemies. With both sides open, the chest reveals a treasure island. The set includes three pirates, a few animals, a canon, a chest and other accessories. Not a pirate lover, then check out the Playmobil Dollhouse Take-Along!
The Zoo Babies Collector Case by Safari Ltd. is a fun take-along carrying case featuring 12 creatures from the land, sea and air. Each hand painted replica fits snugly in its own compartment and provides an easy way to transport hours of fun! Also available in a wildlife theme and mysteries of the deep theme.
The highly anticipated movie How to Train Your Dragon debuts tomorrow. From what I have read about it, this is a film Miss E (aka Prince E of Bellis) can get excited about at last. The film involves a boy named Hiccup (this will immediately win her over) and a toothless dog he befriends that is actually a rare dragon (this will make her want a baby dragon instead of a goat or dog). In the reviews I have seen, there is no pink and no princesses. Miss E will be thrilled!
Kobold has picked his favorite royal gifts and toys for the dragon slayer in your household:
The adventurous knight, like Hiccup, will need some dragons to adopt as pets. Kobold is a fan of the Bloco set of dragons and reptiles that lets your child's imagination lead the way.
For the dragon slayer who requires a bedtime story, Kobold's required night time prince reading includes The Prince's Bedtime and Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon. 
My children love the countdown to Easter. After we take down all of the St. Patrick's Day decorations (March 17 is Little C's birthday after all), they begin egg hunting training. Miss E is extremely serious about Easter egg hunts. She likes to practice hiding eggs, and she likes to practice searching for them. Our dear friends have an incredible hunt at their farm every year, so Miss E embraces every invitation to "minor" hunts in preparation for the big event. She is also counting down to the delivery of Easter basket goodies. I try to avoid the chocolate aisle at the area super store when it comes to creating baskets (but I love a certain peanut butter and chocolate egg!). Kobold Toys has several great additions to your beloved's Easter basket... that will not cause cavities or sugar rushes at the egg hunt!

Can you blame me? And these are just two samples of her new Songbird line for Spring! Beautiful clothing that is top quality and gorgeous. We have a closet full of Ginger louise and will be expecting a nice big package in a few week's time. How can you resist such stunning attire? This just released dress, above, is perfect for Easter, spring, summer or just for fun! And this knot dress comes with the matching peasant top underneath!
You can expect to see Anna in this outfit for Easter though. Just LOVE the colors, it is just so lovely. I am getting the pants in pink but do love the white. Anna just isn't very forgiving with clothes so I'm going the safer route! I can't imagine that you could find something this beautiful in any mall store!
