The magic treehouse has been rereleased by Vulli, it's crazy expensive but my kids adore it just as much as I remember loving my orignal 1970's one as a child. Total Toy Flashback: The 1980s |

Orchard is a wonderful kids game, we got it when my son was 3 and it is a wonderful introduction to games. I went for orchard rather than my first orchard and while It can be a pain to find the little fruit at the end of play I'm glad I went for the full version Building a Game Library for Preschoolers |

Lots of pretty banks. I choose a clear bank with divided compartments for my kids to learn to manage their money and set savings goals. Ours is the Money Savvy Pig, but there are other similar brands. Bank On It: 20 Piggy Banks for Kids |

I love the idea of splash pads, there used to be a few public parks around here with them, sadly they've been turned off & a private one is against bi-laws here as they are not very-water wise. Bobby's Splash Pad My Great Outdoors |

I have and love the Missoni Bee, it's a joy every time I get it out, and every time someone compliments it as usually asks where I got it. I also love the Yellow hood, I've never had it but I think it is the best standard hood for the Bee. A Rainbow of Colorful Strollers |

Mattresses need circulation to minimize harmful bacteria, I don't think it's actually mould, but there's a good reason beds are raised. Even box springs allow for air under. Tht said this can be managed by airing or turning the mattress daily. Montessori Floor Bed Logistics? Good Questions |

I dont agree with the pp who said the younger child takes second place and bunks cement that. I'd rather the bottom bunk to be honest, but I am the youngest and did have a bottom bunk. We had them set up in a L shape with a cubby made of cloth in the void which I *loved* I think fondly of our bunks and am currently coveting the Oeuf Perch bunks for my own kids, currently a little too young at 1 & 3. Are Bunkbeds Worth It? |

Just the motivation I needed, my mum lived in another state for the first 3 years of my sons life and I emailed her a photo of him everyday for those 3 years. I have an insane volume of phone and other photos which is too big to manage in any way. I use keywords in iPhoto a lot but just had to upgrade my harddrive just to house it. I am going to start back cataloging them this way now. How To Create a Family Yearbook: Controlling the Chaos of Digital Photos |

We bought our (Peppertown fort) from eBay, the seller had already dismantled it so we picked it up, cleaned it & restained then assembled it which was a month long process, about a day to build. We saved $2k in the end, the stain, new bolts & we replaced the swing etc which added up to a few hundred on top of the price. We are thrilled with the choice dispte the work & extra costs. It's a great set up we never coud have afforded new. What's That Backyard Play Set Really Going To Cost? |

I love ours too, it's the brimfield one off etsy, but I wish I saw the DIY links first as it constantly comes out of the little slide holder at the top, admittedly usually assisted by a 3 year old, but I think they are pretty standard around growth charts. I think the length s just too much weight for the holder. Buy or DIY: Oversized Ruler & Tape Measure Growth Charts |

I like them, I'm also getting quite board with the extensive "debate" over them, it's very repetitive. LEGO Friends: Yay or Nay? |

We've been, it's truly awesome, it started as a completely blank room, the room is a normal scale, if anything it might be high. I expect the dots on the ceiling were from adults jumping. The Obliteration Room Yayoi Kusama |

How exciting that my question was in a round up! I thought I should update that in the end i found a lovely tall animal step from Kmart for $5. It is about the height of 2 of the Ikea steps so tall enough for his feet to be flat and comes in tiger, monkey, butterfly and frog if I remember correctly. Best Potty Step/Step Stool?
