From the article: Toy Fair 2010
Toy Fair is coming! The toy industry's biggest convention will be held in New York in February. Hundreds of toy companies show their new products for 2010 to buyers and media. Though I look forward to it every year, there will be thousands of new products to look at. This is your chance to tell me which toys you want me to play with and write about.

I love that clothing-rack playhouse - do you have to nail it to the wall?

Weveel Magic

Can you let us know about a new company called Weveel. I want to learn more about their drawing transfer craft product Weveel Magic & 3donkulous. Cool website, but where can you buy their products, do they work good and how much do they cost?

Roller Coasters!

I heard that CoasterDynamix is going to be there! I've seen the Phoenix Coaster Kit online but never in person. I hope they have one set up there.

Anything made of wood, wool, etc. All the eco, natural stuff for the crunchy mamas!

Some Girlie stuff other

As mama to two 'girlie-girls' (I sincerely expected tom-boys--so surprise, surprise I have two princess-obsessed toddler/preschoolers!). Here are the things I would love to have you check out: 1.dress-up clothes/ accessories 2. dolls 3. indoor hide-aways/tents 4. stickers 5. art supplies/crafts 6. Play nursery items (cribs. swings) 7. A great set of wooden blocks

Playmobil

What will the big set from Playmobil be this year? We get it every year and loved the Egypt set this year!

No Batteries Needed

I would love to hear about new toys for preschoolers that aren't electronic. A few are ok, but why must even trucks and dolls beep these days? Melissa & Doug seem to be good -- do they have anything new (and silent) coming out?
