Important Advisory:

The Asterisk on the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Lead-Free* Platinum Award list indicates that samples from only one particular batch of these toys tested lead free.  Other production runs or samples of the same products may contain lead.

We have not had the other toys on our website independently tested for lead content. For the future, we are requiring companies to provide us with documentation that their products have been tested by an independent lab and found to be free of surface and embedded lead, as well as phthalates.  

Sesame Street Water Squirters    

(Fisher-Price $4.99) Here is the next best thing to a water gun. Choose either Elmo in a barrel or Oscar in a garbage can. Either holds a good supply of water and a handle that is squeezed to squirt the water. This will be fun at the beach or in the backyard for hot days. They say 1 1/2  , but we think that even older twos will need two hands to make them work. 3-6. (800) 432-5437.

Blue’s Bubble Face & Non Spill Mini Tumblers    

(Little Kids $5.99) Blue’s fans will enjoy making bubbles with this new line of bubble makers.  Blue’s Bubble Face makes a great stream of tiny bubbles.  Magenta & Blue No-Spill Set is a variation on Little Kid’s classic. It will save you from a lot of spilled bubble solution.  Testers found the Salt and Pepper Set work well but the Pail and Shovel Set are harder to work.  For a party/favor there’s a seven piece set Blue’s Clues Super Bubble Party Jar ($15.99).  2 1/2 & up. (800) 545-5437.
