The 2012 Toy Fair was quite the experience. There were rows and rows and rows of the latest playthings on several floors of fun. I went and my feet can tell you all about how exhausting it was. But it was also fantastic. And I found the winners of the Toy of the Year Awards quite intriguing.
I was in the craft store last week, pacing back and forth in front of the Valentine's Day displays and trying to make a decision. Was I going to help my kids produce a selection of lovingly hand-crafted Valentine's cards for their classmates, something perhaps inspired by a clever Pinterest design and featuring a custom font based on their actual handwriting?
