Aurora- Have a Cute and Cuddly Christmas! #GiftGuide

December 20, 2012 by 4 Comments

A few months ago, my son, husband, and I read a neat book- it’s called “Raggedy Andy Stories”. I wasn’t sure how Little would like it- it was, after all, about a doll- but he really loved the book. It was a large book, with lots of different stories in it, the hero being Raggedy Andy.

“All the original stories are here, as Raggedy Andy arrives in the mail at Marcella’s father’s office, displays his cheery smile, and is eagerly reunited with his sister, Raggedy Ann. After a warm welcome from the other dolls, Raggedy Andy adds to their fun with a dance, a pillow fight, and a taffy pull. His merry escapades frequently show his generosity in helping others, as he bravely ventures into the gutter to find the penny dolls, “cures” the French doll, and encourages the wooden horse. Other stories also include Raggedy Andy and the other dolls’ encounters [Read more…]

Ezy Roller – the award winning ride on toy #GiftGuide

December 20, 2012 by 4 Comments

11 12 2012 hurricane 193We here at Have Sippy love different toys and play things. Be them plush, interesting, or just a bit odd- all are welcome on our site. (Hey, who knows until you try it, right?) Today we present the Ezy Roller. This device is meant for just about anyone who has the ability to shimmy from side to side, suggested age 3 on through to adult. The minimum suggested height being 3’3″. The Ezy Roller is not a scooter, a bike, or a luge,but a different form of transportation completely. The Roller moves based on the principle of cambering motion, which is moving left to right in an action/reaction manner to move forward or backward, similar to a snake’s motion. I would suggest watching a video of how it works to best explain it in a visual manner.

EzyRoller PictureThe Ezy Roller was a mixed bag for Little Man. Upon first trying it he loved it, because it was new and shiny with an different look to it. Then he didn’t like it too much because it wouldn’t move forward easily, in a way expected. But after actually trying to move it left to right with his feet in the way described, he loved it. He was able to move quickly [Read more…]
